INDIAN uPRISiNGS.
GailsHamllton Thinks They Are Caused by
irresponsible Whites.

irresponsible Whites.
In this country it should be a truism
to say that whatever is done for the
Indian should be done by the Indian.
by his assistance, if not wholly through
his agency. He understands his race
as another race can not. If Indian
affairs were, as far as possible, in the
hands of Indians; if the Indian Depart
ment were, as far as practicable, COM
posed of Indians, we should have fewer
Indian massacres, Indian uprisings,
Indian scares. The civilized Indian,
backed by the whole power of the
United States Government, would be a
mighty force, a potent object lesson to
the wild Indian. Proof of this is found
in the beneficial effects of the employ
ment of Indians by Government as re-
seryation police officers, United States
Indian police and Indian scouts.
have the greatest mistrust as to the ex-
istence of Indian uprisings. The In
dians are perfectly aware of the might
of the United States. There is no
reasonable doubt they want peace.
They fear war more than we do. I
believe that these Indian troubles are in
deed very largely fomented by the greed
of the white race in its lower circles, who
are always deliberately designing
trouble in order to possess themselves
of Naboth's vineyard. When Poor Buff
falo informs Bishop Whipple that he is
known by almost every Western tribe,
and that he is now no more a warrior,
but is trying to keep the peace among
all his tribes, he is to be believed, and
he ought to be used as medium of
peace and goodwill. One such cup
rising as that among the Utes, quick
ly as it was seen through and put to
shame. cost the Government more than
would the salary of commission for
twenty years. The Creeks, the Choc-
lows, the Five Nations, have so strong
an element of civilization that they
could be brought to bear upon the
wilder tribes with the greatest econ
omy. Poor Buffalo knew Colorow
long before we ever heard of him.
Peace seems now to be restored, but is
any sufficient restitution made to the
Indians who have suffered? Is any
punishment melted out to the miscreants
who in the name of law, and under the
color of law, degraded the law of the
land in the eyes of the Utes? Is any
thing done to deter other miscreants in
other places from involving the Govern
meme in similar shame and loss? 1t
ought to be understood that any person
who brings the word of the Govern
ment into disrepute among the Indians
is doing the greatest possible harm, is
helping to shed blood. The lives of
United States soldiers are as sacred as
those of any other United States
citizens, and to imperil their lives that
lawless citizens may get possession OF
the fair Indian lands is murder in the
first degree.-GGil Hamilton, i'm North

CONTINENTAL MONEY.
The Currency Which Enabled the Colople
tn Carry ON the ReYOlutiOn.

The Currency Which Enabled the Colonies
to Garry on the Revolution.
The issue of bills of credit, not only
by the colonies, but by the Continental
Congress became a necessity when the
war began in 1875 The second Con.
gress met in Philadelphia, May 10 OF
that year, and on the first day the
measure was agreed upon in secret SEES
sion, but was not adopted until June
%, the day on which Congress received
the news of the battle of Bunker Hill.
Then it was agreed that sum not ex-
ceeding $40, 100000 be issued in bills OF
credit, for whose redemption the
twelve Confederate colonies-Georgla
not then being represented-were
pledged. The bill specified the form
and the number and denomination OF
the bills to be issued. The plates OF
the bills were engraved by Paul Re-
we're, of Boston. The size of the bills
average 81 by p inches, and they were
printed on thick paper. New issues OF
this currency were made from time to
time until the close of 1779, when the
aggregate amount was $242, OOO,o oO,
and the bills had so much deprecated
then that 800 in specie would pur-
chase 50, 600 in paper money; in 1881
the same amount in specie would buy
$1,000 in paper. Strenuous efforts
were made by Congress to keep up the
credit of this currency, but as the one
essential to save it, a pledge from the
States to redeem it in specie, could not
be secured, the money was bound to GO
down. Early in lila convention OF
representatives of New England States
agreed upon a scale of prices for all
goods. This was strongly opposed by
merchants, but the New England States
soon after enacted it into a law, and a
similar law was adopted soon after by
the middle States, including Maryland
and Virginia Congress approved OF
the scheme, and further passed reso-
luton declaring that the bills of credit
ought to pass current in all payments,
trade and dealings, and be deemed
equal in value to the same nominal
SUM in Spanish dollars. 1t further re-
solved that all persons refusing to take
them should be considered enemies
of the United States" on whom ''for-
FIXTURES and other penalties ought to
be inflicted by the local authorities.
These resolutions, however, could not
check the inevitable, but as the depre-
citation of the money was gradual, it
operated as tax, and thus prevented
undue suffering. Moreover the money
had served good purpose, for it had
enabled the colonies to carry on three
years of war with a powerful foe almost
without taxation. This currency has
no value now except to the collectors
of curious coins and relics.-Ioledo

that they bother his peace of mind is
proved by the fact that he has several

Something went wrong at the Office

with:

why 1t Does Not Pay Farmers to Feed In
ferior Animals.
There is no man who so imperatively
requires first-class stock as the intelli-
gent poor man. The Indifferent, lazy
and shiftless poor man can get along
better with that class of mosuate-pro-
ducing scum cattle that through gen.
erations of abuse and neglect have
learned to endure the bitter uses OF adj
versity and to make the most of
their opportunities or, in the words of
the vernacular, they can "hustle" for
themselves, and steal food with the
best of them. They have their wits
sharpened by hard experience just as
the newsboys and beggars do in large
cities. The man, however, who is poor
and at the same time proud. ambitious
and intelligent, and this describes the
mass of Americas young farmers,
must put his wits to work to find some
way of procuring for his own use the
very best quality of cows. He knows
that it does not pay to feed and handle
Indifferent dairy stock; that the poor
cows have to be carried by the good
ones, and are therefore worse than use
less in the herd; that they not only
take up room, eat food, require
attendance and run the risk of
dying without any chance of profit to
him, but far worse than this, they
greatly discourage him in the life work
before him. When he goes over his
returns in milk and butter at the end
of the year he charges all his losses to
the cows right and left, without the
slightest discrimination, and, OF course,
If the balance is on the wrong side OF
the account, or too near to it, he bal
ances them all alike and from that
condemning the whole dairy business.
If he had kept an account with the pro-
duct Of each animal, as his intelligence
should teach him is an absolute fequi-
site to well-eonducted dairy, he soon
would have learned, and before they
began seriously to shrink in milk
Weld. that certain members of the herd
were not profitable and would have
gotten rid of them; his books would
then have shown a return in dollars far
in excess of the necessary outlay and
he wonld have been encouraged to go
on in the good work. His methods for
securing better cows after he has found
out which are the poor ones must be
left to his own invention. Where there
is will there is always way, and ii
YOU have not the ready money to buy
them, then study up how to grow them.
This method is always open and Is by
far the better plan if the farmer only
has the patience and pluck to study and
stay. Time works wonders when a pur-
pose is steadily persisted in.-Anaerscan

For disinfectants about poultry
houses and sheds, smoke from a wood
fire, says the Farm and Stockma7a, is
one of the best; also sulphur. In using
the latter, close every opening and
chink where air can escape, place a
pound or two of birthstone, in small
pieces, in an iron pan, and let it gently
burn, leaving the house shut up for the
day if possible.
Potato and Corn Mullins. Two
cups of cold mashed potatoes, two cups
of sweet milk, two eggs well beaten,
two cups of cornmeal, or enough for a
batter. Soften the potato with the
milk, working out all the Jumps; then
stir in cornmeal until the batter is just
thick enough to drop easily from the
spoon; add the whipped eggs and beat
hard. Drop into hot gem pans and
bake in an oven from twenty to thirty
minutes.
The degeneration of the American
hog and its increasing liability to dis
ease, as well as the acknowledged loss
of flavor and composition in the meat,
has been demonstrated by actual ex-
pertinent to be largely owing to the
exclusion of muscle-forming foods, es-
pecially in growing pigs. The system
of feeding robs the hog of half its
blood, half the natural strength of its
bones, and produces other violent
changes, which end in giving us race
of animals weak in constitution and
easily broken when attacked by dis.

DEEP-SEA WONDERS.
Some of the Strange Fish That Live at the
Bottom of the Ocean.

Some of the Strange Fish That Live at the
Bottom of the Ocean.
"What an odd fish!''
An old member of the Maritime Ex-
change was exhibiting in a bottle one
of the queerest submarine monsters
that the fancy could paint. 1t appar-
emily had no beginning and no ending.
One could hardly tell where its outlines
left off, and the alcohol in which it
was preserved began. 1t was like jelly.
''It must be remembered" explained
the owner, ''that at the depth of one
thousand fathoms the pressure upon a
fish or any other body is equal to ton
to square inch. These flabby looking
fishes, that can be tied in knot at the
surface, at such depths are bodied
and vigorous. When fish, adapted by
organization to these depths, are
brought to the surface, frequently
their bodies are ruptured, their yiscera
prelude, their eyes start out and they
present the appearance of having suf-
fered frightful death. When the fish
ascends and the pressure upon its body
becomes less and less, the gases in its
body begins to expand and the expan-
sion causes the demoralized appearance
of the fish. If the fish could be popped
out of the sea in an instant, 1t would
probably explode with bang when it
reached the surface.
s.Just look at it's jaws" continued
the exhibitor. when the fish are
brought to the surface most of them
appear to be soft. PUPPY masses. The
bones and muscles appear to be feebly
developed. The tissues seem thin,
weak and easily ruptured. These con-
ditions. implying muscular weakness,
are apparently inconsistent with the
powerful shape of the jaws and the
rapacious looking teeth of some of the
predacious fishes.
How do they livep"
THAT is hard to say. To the ab-
sence of light is due many of the most
wonderful peculiarities of the deep-sea
fish Some of them are totally blind,
having no eyes at all or mere rudi-
mentary eyes. Others have huge eyes,
so organized as to collect as many
light rays as possible. Sunlight, it is
said. does not penetrate to a depth Of
two hundred fathoms. If there is any
light there at all it is the merest glim-
mer and below that depth there is alb
solute darkness.
..Now these deep-sea fishes being cut
off altogether from the sunlight, many
of them furnish their own light. They
have no organized gas companies, but
each furnishes his own light-ca a
lantern or torch around with him.
They have organs that emit a phos-
phorescent CLEAN and shed light on
their path. Some of them carry little
torches in the form Of tentaeles that
rise from the tops Of the heads. Many
of them have regular symmetrical rows
of luminous spots on their sides. ~
