THE PROMISED LAND.
The Northern Indian Reservation.

Mr.. Thomas A. Matthews, one OF
the territorial stock inspectors, in the
course of q conversation held with
him by Helena stock Journal repor-
ter recently gave some interesting in
formation concerning the great north
ern reservation. Mr.. Matthews, as
stock inspector, IL stationed on the
line OF the Manitoba eastward, and In
the discharge of his official duties he
has become pretty well acquainted
with the country now opened by the
passage of the reservation bill. He
has made no arrests for cattle stealing
lately aud reports the health, condi.
tion and safety of stock In his district

sheep raising will be the principal
business carried on there as the lands
are better adapted for the pursuit Of
that industry than for any other.
There are some good agricultural lands
along Milk river and some Of its tribu'
taries, out eastward from Cottonwood
creek snow falls deep aud the lands
are generally strongly impregnated
with slkaii. Aronud and in the VI
cipity Of the Little Rockies are some
splendid farming lands aud rich
grazing ranges. It Is warmer
and snow falls at greater depth than
farther east. Large numbers Of SET
tiers are going In, but unless they
have means to support themselves for
some time they are bound to starve.
Unless settlers have something to de-
pend upon for their living aside from
farming they will have hard row 10

tie for a starter and can stand rough.

right in the end.
The gentleman thinks II is rather
too near the boundary line for success

in some localities, but sheep will be

He thinks il Is great country but 1

How to Fight q Mob.

IL was now almost noon. The mem.
bers of the National Guard had re.
sponded with promptness to the sum
mons, and every armory vas scene
Of excitement and activity. The
Seventies was half filled with gray
uniforms, and with friends and citi-
zens. Every moment fresh arrivals
were coming; ammunition boxei
were open; cartridge cases were filled
with nervous haste; officers were
excitedly discussing the ominous news
as Il came in from time to time over
the telephone, or cautioning their
men how to bear themselves when
they stood face to face with the mob,
and under fire. "Do not shout or talk
when the work begins; leave that TO
your officers; only listen for orders;
obey them promptly; keep well closed
up; leave the wounded, Is any there,
are, TO the ambulance corps;see nothing
but the mob; hear nothing but your
own officers; and, no matter what
comes, never, never turn your backs
upon a mob; remember that noise
does not hurt; keep cool; and, when
YOU fire, aim low one disciplined reg
Iment can break the heaviest mob
that ever yelled" Such were the sen.
timents inculcated by the OH GERS.

A Noble Deed Rewarded

William A. Daniels, of Bath, New
York. cousin of Zed H. Daniels, Of
this city, has just come into fortune
of Sl50,000. The circumstances con
nected with his good fortune are de-
cidedly romantic. In 1868 Daniels,
while In charge Of wagon train, was
passing by a road in a dense forest
which was on fire, and every thing
near il was doomed to destruction.
Charles w. Dawson, then lad only
II years old, was discovered lying on
his side in the track of the wagon
train. He was seriously wounded.
Daniels orders forbade the carrying Of
any person on the wagon. Dawson
being in imminent danger and help
less from his wounds, he called upon
Daniels to remove him from danger.
He believed his end was near but wss
terrified at the prospect of being
burned to death. Daniels heart was
touched, aud at the risk OF his own
libsrty, ifnot his life, lifted the lad
upon the wagon aud carried him To
Fredericksburg, where he was placed
in hospital. Dawson lived to be 3
rich man aud bless Daniels for ssving
his life, but could never get him TO ac-
cept financial assistance, though be
was at times sorely in need Of IL. Dan
iels worked at his trade OF painter and
eked out a moderately comfortable
existence, receiving visits from time to
time, from the man to whom be had
rendered the greatest service possible
on earth. The other day Daniels ws'
surprised at visit from Joseph III
Williams. Chicago lawyer, who In
formed him that he was heir to $3.50,
900 left him by Charles w. Dawson
who lately died at his home in Chi
cago.-Livingston Enterprise.

progress of work at the Station to
Prof. Bird, State Commissioners Of
Agriculture:
Since my last report, under INSTRUCT

Louisiana. The citizens of Ouachita
generously donated land, buildings
and team. The work of organization
begun quite late-has been pushed
with great vigor by the manager, Mr..
l.. NJ. Calhoun, acting under my in
structions. Through his enegy, ex-
periments in cotton, corn, forage crops,
peas aud vegetables, have been success
fully planted. The buildings are in
process of erection, the fencing is near
~ completed, and great deal of clear
ing has already been accomplished. A
few more months work and this sta-
ton, 1t is hoped, will become a pride
and pleasure to every farmer in North

NATIVE FRUITS.

Btsides many other natural resources
Louisiana has some rare and delicious
native fruits, among which may pc
classed the dew-berry and theMay-hsw.
The dewberry is found all over the
United States from Oregon to Florida
and in the Northern States is being ex-
tensiveIy seeded and cultivated. Seed
ings partaking of different qualities are
given different names. In Louisiana
they grow wild and to high state OF
perfection.
The May.haw Is peculiar toLouisiana
and especially to Ouachtts parish, Its
habit being the swamps and along the
margin of the numerous bayous that In
tersect the parish. It is OF the apple
family, (Pyrus Malqs), and like the ap
pie is easily transplanted and bears fruit
to perfection In cultivated gardens as
we'll as in its native swamps. Unlike
the apple It is subject to no insects, no
borer-as 1t is often almost submerged
in water. Its only enemy Is late frosts
which now and then cut the crop short.
It has no of year and every year good
crop may be expected unless, as before
stated, late frost occurs. Tho fruit is
extremely acid and can be eaten only
when mellow ripe. The aroma far ex'
ceeds that Of the apple and the coio'
surpasses the yellow and red of Sum
mer Queen. The fruit will only keeE
few days after ripenIng and must b
utilized Immediately. 1t blooms II
:. February, maturing fruit rapidly aftel
, casting the petals and ripens the frs
of May, hence the name-May' haw.
The fruit of May.haw is about tn
0 size OF an English cherry and the tree
are great bearers. 1t is used in max
ing jelly and tarts, the jelly made from
o the juice having no superior even Ii
i tropical fruits. Nearly the entire CROP
. however, annually goes to waste, an
y the surprise is that no enterprisin
j. person has ever thought Of turnin
q this wasted wealth into a money-maB
