cent utserance. of salisbury.
LONDON. May ~.
The London Times prints long and
eaustic letter from Mr.. Stanley In reply to
the cent utterances OF Lord Salisbury.
Mr.. Stanley declares that he has nothing
but sentimental interest in any part OF
Africa, but he says that on finding that
many of his friends have embarked their
money in an African enterprise on the
strength Of charter not worth q counter
felt sixpence unless the terms Of the IN
derstanding with Germany are Eigidly adj
hered 10, aud there being every Indication
OF disposition on the part Of the govern
mcnt to help Germans instead OF English
men. be has urged bis friends 10 discover
the exact limits of their territory. He
wiehes 10 quarrel with neither Germany
nor England, but says boldly that II the
German colonial demands be granted IL
would be more economical 90 make Ger
many gift Of the whole British sphere.
/ hen British investors might obtain so
many shillings for the pounds they so
credulonsly have been vietimized ont OF.
In conclusion, be declares that the Ger
man sphere is the finest in Africa, and
adds, Still their CRY Is Give, give. IL
you think they are better adapted than the
English TO civiIlze the African, do nothing
half f-heartedly. Yield, OIL, including
Egypt; ncyera word Of protest shall you
hear from me. Excessive amiability may
become an infirmity, and the infirmiiy of
negligence, like other diseases, grows till
il ends In chronic senility."

Government Rssenues-

WARRINGTON. May g7.
Government revenue from all sources for
the year, including the postal revenue, was
placed BY the treasury department recently
at Si50. .000,000 The regular annual ap-
preparation bills. exclusive of deficiencies,
viii amount 10 about ss23, ,00O, 900 aud the
permanent appropriations, including the
sinking funds, will reach $i0I, SOC, 600.
The deficiency bill viii, according 10 the
estimates OF the members OF the senate ap-
preparation committee, be at least $751;
600. .OV0. That makes an aggregate OF @450,-
600, 600 of appropriations, exclusive of the
dependent pension bill, which, IL IL becomes
law as passed by the senate, will call
for S26.0o0,000. Appropriations for the
increase OF the navy as passed by the
house amount 60 $S,0OO,o0O. There has
been 81 500, 900 appropriated for the world
fair. III the river and harbor bill and the
Galveston harbor bill and the orc for the
Hay lake channel between the upper and

600, 200 more TO be added to the appropria-
tions. The miscellaneous appropriations
at the last short session amounted to SlO,.
255, 795, and they are likely to amount to Q

CARE VIZ MARRrEDs"

This IL the Question which some south
Dakotans Are Asking Themselves.
YAsKrcs. s. ID. May n,
Something of stir has been ocoasioned
among ministers and j-stices Of the peace
over the statement that there exists in the
state at present no law authorizing the
marriage ceremony, and many Of them are
much exercised, fearing that marriages
performed by them recently would prove
Invalid. The caHse of the tronbie Is the
fact that the late legislature enacted laws
providing for procuring licenses and the
registration Of the same, the act TO take
effect IN July next. Tho ministers and
justices of the peace took the ground that
a. thsre was no Law 70 authorize marriages,
pending the time the new act takes effect,
the knot rs tied by them would not be
legal. OF course this Ia a mistake, as even
. common marriage holds i'm this state.

New YoRK, Nov. 10.-Painted Horse
one of the Indians from the Red Cloud
agency, with DR.. Carver's show in Eli
rope, arrived here Saturday. Today he
made long written statement. He
charged both Carver and Buffalo Bill
with great cruelty toward the Indians
under their charge. Painted Horse said
he was repeatedly tied up until he could
endure no further suffering; that he was
fed upon stinking meat and other things
wholly unfit for food; that his
money was taken from him, and when
he asked its return, received only IS.
He said other Indians were also shame
fully treated, and frequently fired upon
and wounded. They were permitted to
have all the whisky they wanted, and
when under its influence often fought
among themselves. His statement will
be forwarded to the secretary of the in
terror and Indian commissioners.

A Rruit Lndder.

One of the western agricultural reports
gives these directions for making a cheap
aud serviceable ladder for picking fruit /:
Take pole of any desired length, but not
of large diameter; sharpen it at the top to
slim point, and several feet from the
top put flat iron band about it, or in case
a band is not at hand it may be securely
wrapped with wire to keep it from splitting.
But the band should not be thick or with
sharp edges else it may cut or chafe the
bark of the tree If the grain is straight
it may be split with wedges from the butt
to this band or it may be split with a rip
saw. Now spread it at the bottom to sew
eral feet in width, and if the ladder is to
be quite tall this should be from FIVE to six
feet or even more. Nail brace Temporal
rily across the butt ends to hold them apart,
and bore holes at proper distances and at
proper angles or if the spread is not too
great they may be bored before the pole is
split. Rounds of tough, strong material
may now be inserted, beginning at the top,
first removing the brace. Such ladder
eau be thrust upward into tree and placed
in fork or against branch without dan
ger of falling or being unsteady, and it has
the additional advantage of being very
light at the top and easy to handle, If de-
sired a third leg or brace can be added by
Ringing it to the top round through hole,
thus making a step ladder.
