FIRST TIMR SINCE TH2 WAR.
1t seems hardly necessary to say any
thing OF the history OF Gen. Il. f. Butler.
No man in the whole nation has been
more constantly in the public eye for the
last four decades than he. AS o success
ful lawyer and Influential politician be.
fore the war, as a patriot who was among
the first to respond to the counuy's call
at the firing upon Fort Sumpter, as the
man who gave New Orleans the best
government the city ever bad, as Com
mander OF the Army OF the James, as a
Representative In Congress and a leading
politician since the war, he has had pub
lie attention constantly focused upon
him. No man In the country has receiv-
ed more praise and more abuse than he,
and no man has more warm, personal
friends and admirers. Many Of the
people Of the South have been ! particular
ly bitter against him, and have tried to
make his name the synonym for ell that

turn good for evil, and heap Goals Of IRE

INDIANS IN FAVOR OF REDEEMINC
PLEDGES MADE TO GENERAL MILES.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, Jan I8.-At
noon, yesterday, General Miles sent
message to the hostile camp asking
for a conference council with the
principal chiefs. There was an i'm
mediate response. Among the chiefs
were Two Strikes, Short Bull, Eagle
Pipe, Grow Dog, Big Turkey, Black
Robe, Kicking Bear, Iron Foot and
Man Raised Above. The chiefs were
Brules and when the subject of return
ing to their agency at Rosebud was
broached they said they were in favor
of returning if the military man should
be placed over them as agent. Cap
tain Lee, Ninth infantry, who was
recommended by General Miles as
agent for the agency in question ex-
pressed the hope that he would be al
lowed to take hold of the agency in
question. After a little more parlying,
Big Robe stood up and solemnly and
dramatically proclaimed himself in
favor of peace, at the same time he
asked those who wished to join him in
restoring peace and working for the
prosperity of their people to raise their
right hand towards heaven. Immedi-
ately every right hand in the gather
ing was raised on high and with a
general shaking of hands the confer
ence came to close. There are no
lights in the hostile camp tonight.
Everything is quiet. The Indians
seem to be in favor OF redeeming the
pledges they made to General Miles.

what He Accomplished br Reading

do not think it is very serviceable
to make list of books for children to
read. No two have exactly the same
aptitudes, tastes, or kinds of curiosity
about the world. And one story or bit
of information may excite the interest
of class in one school, or the children
in one family, which will not take at
all with others. The only thing is to
use the art of reading to find out about
things'as you use your eyes and ears.
knew a boy, a scrap of q lad, who al
most needed high chair to bring him
up to the general level of the dining
table, who liked to read the encyclo-
pedia. He was always hunting round
in the big books of the encyclopedia
books about his own size-for what he
wanted to know. He dug in it as an,
other boy would dig in the woods for
sassafras root. 1t appeared that he
was interested in natural history and
natural phenomena. He asked ques-
tions of these books, exactly as he
would ask living authority on earth
quakes. He liked to have the conver-
sation at table turn on earthquakes,
for then he seemed to be the tallest
person at the table. 1 suppose there
was no earthquake anywhere of any
Importance but that he could tell where
it occurred and what damage it did,
how many houses it buried, and how
many people it killed, and what shape
it left the country it had shaken.
From that he went on to try to discover
what caused these disturbances, and
this led him into other Investigations,
and at last into the study of electricity,
practical as well as theoretical. He
examined machines and invented ma
chimes. and kept on reading, and pres
emily he was an expert in electricity.
He knew how to put in wires, and sig
mails, and bells, and to do n number of
practical and useful things, and almost
before he was able to enter the high
school he had great deal of work to
do in the city and three or four men
under him. These men under him had
not read as much about electricity as
he had.-St. Nicholas.

Thrashinr by Electric Light.

Not the least important effect of the
general introduction of the electric
light has been its influence in modify
ing the conditions of various industries.
Another of the innumerable exemplifi-
cations of this which ace constantly be
ing recorded is the fact that a great
deal of thrashing which farmers here
tofore carried on in the long summer
days is now continued through the
night by means of the electric light.
The arrangement is particularly ad-
vantageous to the proprietor of thrash
ing machinery, which can be hired out,
as the machine can thus in a single
season earn half as much more hire.
Where the farmers staff is limited to
certain number of lSborers, and more
are not available, it is no small con-
venience il they can be made free for
the accomplishment of other duties by
a more RAPID completion of the thrash
ing. The economy of fuel is also
matter of moment. as the consumption
is considerably reduced by keeping the
boiler constantly hot, and thus obviat-
ing the necessity of getting up steam
afresh every morning.

Until the Plumber Comes.

When water pipes freeze, leak,
burst, and the plumber is in at least
fourteen other houses, the housekeeper
can make shift to await his coming
with at least the serenity an unfooded
house can give her. Let her keep on
hand q round of white lead under
water, and so soft and ready for use.
When the leak or break is found, shut
off the water first, and then spread
some white lead on cloth, like plas-
ter. Tie this firmly over the leak, and
the plaster will soon harden, for the
water cannot work its way out, or pre-
vent the plaster's adhering. When the
water freezes in the traps of tie bath
room or the kitchen sink, quart of
common salt thrown into them will
thaw them out more rapidly than hot
water. A lighted lamp placed under
a frozen water pipe is more rapid and
convenient in its work than pouring on
hot water. A lamp, the flame partly
lowered, placed under the exposed
bend or length of pipe which is liable
to freeze is simple pre.entive OF
trouble In bitter weather.-Hdrper's
