on Of Sassafrns,

The manufacture Of the oil OF sassa-
fras is becoming an important indus
try in some parts of the country, espe-
cially in the southern states, where
this tree is common. Only the roots
are used; they arc chopped into small
pieces by machine constructed for
the purpose, the oil being then dis.
TILED from the chips by the aid Of
steam. About one gallon Of the oil,
weighing nine pounds, is obtained
from 1000 pounds of the chips. The
uses for which the oil of silssaIrts can be
employed are numerous aud varied.
II is a favorite perfume for soaps and
candies; il is used as solvent for dif'
ferept gums, and as liniment. II is
also very largely employed in the
manufacture Of several popular pro
prietary medicines. The importance
Of this industry may be expected to
increase rather than diminish, as the
sassafras and the persimmon are the
two trees which are spreading most
rapidly over the old and abandoned
fields throughout the southern states
outside of the pine belt proper; and al
present prices good wages can be made
digging out the roots. Garden and

The Whistle Of the Elk.

The whistle of the elk is a sound
which many have tried to describe,
yet j doubt II any one who may have
read all the descriptions of it ever
written would recognize il on a first
hearing. II is a most strange, weird,
peculiar sound, battling all efforts of
the most skillful word painter. II is
only uttered by the male, and there is
the same variety in the sound made by
different stags as in different human
voices. Usually the cry begins and
ends with a sort of grunt, somewhat
like the below of domestic
cow cut short, but the inter
lude is a long drawn, melodious,
flute like sound that rises and
falls with rhythmical cadence, float
ing on the still evening air, by which
it is often waited with singular dis
tinctness to great distances BY other
individuals, or even by the same indi.
vidual at various times, either the first
or last of these abrupt sounds is
omitted, and only the other. in con-
nection with the long drawn, silver
toned strain, is given.
The stag utters this call only in the
love making season, and for the pur'
pose of ascertaining the whereabouts
of his dusky mate, who responds by q
short and utterly unmusical sound,
similar TO that with which the male
begins or ends his call.-G. O. Shields

A Primitive Telephone Line.

A correspondent at Lake Megantic
sends the particulars of telephone
line that has at least the advantage Of
simplicity and freedom from paying
tribute to a telephone company. The
correspondent says:
I'm Moose River, Me-, they have a
telephone working between the New
ton house and store about half mile
distant The receiver and transmitter
are all one. They have hole cut in
the wall and within have placed a
small frame covered with sheepslSin.
To this the wire is attached. The wire
is suspended with tarred rope Any
one wanting TO speak through the tele-
phone simply raps on the frame. The
rapping can be heard ten or twelve feet
from the receiver at the other end Of
the wire. 1t has been in operation
about two weeks now and gives good
satisfaction. The natives are delighted
to get talking through it."-Detroit

and Bunch, of Ash Canyon Spring,
while following up ledge which had
been discovered by them. Tie roof

plored for 500 feet in length. but no csti-
mate of its extent could be arrived at
The fact that il had not been discovered

The Onondaga Indian Tribe,

A good picture Of the state Of affairs
reprobated by the recent Indian coun-
elf is seen i'm the case of the Onondaga
tribe. This tribe owns a reservation
of 6,000 acres on the site Of the old
council fires of the Six Nations. These
5000 acres are uniformly of the
choicest farming lands, and include
stone quarries Of the finest gray lime
stone. But the Indians neither farm
their lands nor work their quarries.
There are twenty-six chiefs for 400
members Of the tribe. The old Indian
language is still in common use. The
state of morals is absolutely indescrib-
able in decent English. The tenure Of
land is tribal. The renunciation Of
Christianity is requisite to election
as a sachem; but nominal c Christianity
Is professed by about half the tribe.
The Feast Of the White Dog is cele-
brated with indecent ceremonies. The
question Of what TO do with the In
dians is now necessarily TO be recon-
sidered. II is not enough TO hold them
on reservations and feed them. Globe

The newly appointed diplomat was edu-
Gated at Indiana Asbury (now DePauw)
University, graduating in 1871. He re-
ceived his legal training at Harvard Uni

that institution in 1873. After some six
months spent in study in Europe, Mr.. Ter
rell located in Indianapolis, where he prac-
ticed law for some years. He removed to
San Antonio in 1877. Important business
interests after year or so compelled him
to abandon the active work of his profess
sion and he has since been largely identi-
fed with the real estate and business
development of the city. Since his re-
moval to Texas Mr.. Terrell has taken an
active part in the work of the Republican
party IN that State. He was a delegate to
the Republican National Convention in
1880 from Texas, and supported General
Garfield in that body; and he was also a

which he seconded the nomination of Gen

THE CENSUS OF 1890.
Some of the Wonderful Changes it
Will Reveal.
Bankers Magazine. |


The census of 1890 will reveal many
wonderful changes. The central line of
population will be much nearer the Missis-
sippi river than it was ten years ago. A
series of maps like those contained in the
last census, of gradatiOns in color, to indi-
cate the changes in density of population,
health, wealth and other important facts,
will present curious contrast with the
maps that we now have for the census of
1880, or that of 1870. Over 100000
acres of land were sold in the last fiscal
year under the operation of the homestead
and timber culture laws. More than 1884,
100000 of acres have been settled within
the last eight years, representing larger
area than the states of Indiana, Illinois,
Ohio and Michigan.
The greatest changes have been made in
the Northwestern group of States and Ter
ritories, comprising Dakota, Nebraska, Min
nesota, Wyoming and Montana. where
nearly 100000 of acres have been eet-
tied in the last eight years. In the South
western group, comprising Kansas, Colo
RADIO, Missouri and New Mexico, nearly
100000 of acres have been occupied.
On the Pacific coast 100000 of acres
have been settled, and 100000 of acres
must be added for the Southern States on
both sides of the Mississippi. Along the
Pacific roads 100000 of acres have been
opened since the last census. In other
words, the Government and the Pacific
railroads have opened for settlement in the
last eight years territory larger than the
New England, Middle States and South
Carolina combined; larger than Germany or
France and about twice as large as Gr eat
Britain and Ireland.
