THE CHICK ZEN.

A Very Profitable Bird when Prop
eriy Handled.
The scarcity of chickens In and
about Salem Is due to the lack of a
knowledge a. to how to raise them
In order to make good profit.
Most farmers as well as those who
pretend to raise these birds for mar
ket, keep u mixture Of various breeds
of poultry combining the bad points
oi all and the good qualities of none.
A good chicken In this market
dressed ready for the pot, will bring
50 cents, when in reality - cents is

to engage in tins business, by OBJ
serving certain rules of cleanliness
and order about the premises where
chickens roost, can engage in no
business that will pay better.
Chickens require rs much care and
attention as anything else about
ysur premises in the city or on IA
farm, but instead they are usually

The new brick building on the
corner of Commercial and Chem
ekete street is now under good head
way. The walls for three of the
buildings are being constructed very
fast. The workmen are also very
busy clearing the grounds off for the
site of the woolen mills. A number
OF new houses are now under con-
struction and a good many have
just been completed. A person who
never rides around through our

4 Query.

Correspondence of the Capital journal.
Should the present effort to com
bine the labor forces of this country,
be successful, and they conclude to
reform the law department of the
nation, 1t will be amusing as well AS
instructive to see the average poll
tician, who has spent half a life
time trying to legalize the present
wage system, rushing around with
hay seed in his hair, brick dust in
his eyes, sand in his ears, and his
pants half-soled, telling those who
support and defend us, how he has
longed for an opportunity to say that
the people and not the money should
govern.

Cause of the Rebellion in Hayti.

1t may be worth while for the sake OF
clearness to show briefly the cause of the
present revolution. In 1879 Solomon
became President Of Hayti. He was a
man of strong will, unbouGded energy
and of fine executive ability. He cor
rected reforms, reduced the debt, brought
the paper dollar to a par with gold, and
increased the revenue from ~, 900, 900 to
Sc, 900, 0G0. Last year he was attacked
by a malady (Which finally wa the ans
of his death under the surgeons knife in
Paris) which was the signal for his enc
mics to conspire against him. Finally
the revolution was proclaimed in the
north, q sympathetic rising occurred il
the capital city, and August 10, at night,
and, guarded by the sacred presence OF
the diplomatic corps, he embarked upon
the British war vessel and fed. The
northern army, under its general, Selde
Telemaque, entered the city. Its object
attained, it was disbanded and its chief,
secure in his strength and popularity, re-
manned with a few hundred of his choicest
troops. The progress of the elections for
the choice Of the members of the con-
s~tituent assembly showed very clearly
that Telemaque would have the required
two-thirds majority. Death always affords
a simple solution to such popularity in
Hayti, and that was meted out to Tele-
maque in the dead of the night of Sep
TENDER %, when he was shot in his own
house by unknown assassins.
Whether it was done by his consent or
not, Legitime has to bear the obloquy of
it. He became "Chief of the Executive
Power On the day after Te~lemaque's
assassination, General Hippolyte, resign
ing his post as minister of agriculture and
police in the government, went to Cape
Haytien and proclaimed a revolution
against Legitime. Hippolyte disclaims
all personal ambition; declares that he
simply wishes the constitution carried
out, but Legitime must go and be replaced
by a man whose hands are not stained
with Observation-Disclosures Press.

Rich Tribe Of Indians.

Colcucl Z. G. Boudinot, the noted
Cherokee lawyer, made a speech at a
picnic in the Cherokee nation, Il few
miles from Fort Smith, Ark, recently, to
a large c~orcourse of people. He e1-
pressed his views without reserve relative
to the Cherokee commission and the sale
of the Cherokee outlet. That these lands
were to be homes Of the American FAR
mers in a very short time he regarded
certain as fate, and in his opinion COM
inoa sense and the welfare of the Chero-
KEGS lad dictated the policy of meeting
the commissioners half way and the sale
Of the lard upon the best terms possible.
Ie.believed the commissioners were dis
posed to act friendly and generous in
their dealing with the Indians, and that
by prudent management $40, 900, QUO
might be obtained for all the lands occu-
pied and unoccupied west of the Arkan-
s:s River, and that he was in favor OF
paying out the amount per capita to all
the citizens of the nation. His remarks
seemed to meet with the approval of the
Chicago Herald.

Humbugging an Animal Dealer.

Jamrach, the celebrated London dealer
in strange animals, picks up many bar
gains from the mates and stewards of the
vast fleet that sails or steams into the
Thames ON every tide from the four
quarters of the globe. But sometimes he
gets picked up himself. A few years
ago he bought for a few cents a very rare
and therefore valuable animal from q
mate, just in from, say, New Guinea.
Presently the mate saw his venture in the
'szoe'' with a great gaping crowd about
its cage, and learned that the Society
had paid a small fortune for the curl
osity. "Ill fix him. says the mote.
80 the next voyage he returned with the
very rarest curiosity ever seen in or out
of the London docks. AHullo,n says
Jarnraeh, fairly excited, nwhat do you
call that, nowa' "Dunno,o saws the
mate, indifferently. sLooks like d bald
squirrel, = says Jamrach, and the mate
said hum not nay, for certainly it did
look like the baldest possible squirrel,
and of the queerest color, too, sssort of
no color at all, : as Jamrach put it. Well,
in three minutes Jamrach had bought
that rare animal for $50 down, and in
three hours he was back on the stone
dock raging at the mate, laughing loud

There are a number annually rescued
