The long-threatened war of the Navajo In

and with it the death of eight settlers. Such
was the startling news received by AdJutant-
General Kennedy, at Denver, Col

oeived a telegram from Lieutenant Plummer,
Indian agent of the Navajos, in which he
stated that eight white men had been muir
dered by the Indians, who are now at war
with the settlers.
He declared that the situation was very
critical one and asked that the troops be
called out to prevent further bloodshed. The
telegram was addressed to Governor Waite,
but he is out of the city, and the matter was
referred by Secretary Lorentzto the Adjutant-
General.
Lieutenant Plummer stated that the people
below Durango were in wild state Of excite
ment, and grave fears were entertained lest
the Indians should continue their warfare
along the valley.
In his message the Lieutenant stated that
two battles had been fought already. The
first was fought early in the day, when five
men were killed, all settlers, while at another

LATE CABBAGE AFTER PEAS.

The fact that peas are to some extent
a renovatlng crop makes it practicable
and sometimes profitable to grow another
crop after them the same season. To do
this, the rows of peas must not be left to
be overgrown with weeds. Make the
rows far enough apart to cultivate be-
tween with horse. After the peas are
about done, cultivate again to mellow
the ground, and plant the cabbage in the
same rows where the peas were. The
nitrogen supply is there most abundant,
as pea roots have the power of dissolving
air and making its nitrogen available. -

EOw TO SPOIL A HORSE.

A bridge over a railroad track; fine,
mettlesome horse hitched to a cutter
containing man; locomotive and cars
passed over the bridge; dense clouds of
steam arose On either side. The horse,
endowed with the instinct of self -preser-
walton, made vigorous. but not vicious,
attempt to escape what seemed to him a
deadly peril. In few boonds he cleared
the bridge; he had escaped; the steam,
the rattle and roar were things of the
past; he came to lively trot, and in a
few minutes would probably have for
gotten the episode.
But the driver slowly released himself
from encumberiLg wraps and grasped a
cruel looking whip; by this time the
horse had gone in a highly acceptable
manner fully square, and totally IN
conscious OF doing anything but his duty,
both in escaping from danger and in
now working faithfully. At that moment
the cruel looking whip cut the frosty sir
with swish and raised horrid welt on

sJNFLowER-sEED CAKE FOR COWS.

Sunfower-seed cake has found extern
sive use for feeding dairy COWS
within few years in foreign countries
and especially In Denmark. A trial is
reported with four COWS, made to com
pare the effects of sunfower seed cake
and inseed cake. The sunfower- seed
cake was fed in the form of meal.
A summary of the results of the trial,
which lasted nearly two months, shows
that the addition of sunfower- seed cake
to the usual ration was accompanied in
the case of each cow by an increased
milk yield. In this connection the addi-
ton of one pound of the cake appeared
to be practically as effective as the addi-
ton of two pounds. Sunf1ower-seed
cake seemed to be fully as effective as
inseed cake. The sunfowe1- seed cake
apparently had no effect on either tie
fat contents of the milk or the live
weight of the animals. Financially
there was no advantage from the addi-
ton of either the sunfiower-seed cake or
hnseed cake to the basal ration in this
trial.
American dairymen, as a rule, accept
inseed-oil meal or cake as valuable
food for the dairy, to be fed in limited
quantity along with the usual ration.
They consider its additional cost CON-
pensated for in the increased value of
the droppings of the cattle for manurial
purposes alone.-New York World.

pretty well skirmished over, even including
"Aunty's" at Fort Rnnyon; and some very
funny as well as serious adventures occurred
on the routes, which it will not do to tell,
only speak Of
Little Arlington was quite picnic ground,
which the members OF 90. NJ soon improved
for their mutual military advancement, but
which had it's final round-up on the Attn of
July, 1862.
The campaign of Gen. Pope, Headquar-
tiers in the saddle" took our regiment from
the forts on Arlington flights as rein
forcement. Soon after leaving, our very
heavy knapsacks grew to be a tiresome
burden, and our ever-thoughtful commander
concluded that we could pile them in the
woods short distance from the road, to
accelerate our movements, proposing to have
them forwarded; but we never saw them
again, and we have the pleasure of think
a
outfit; but we would like to know who got
them just the same.
Soon Gen. Pope's wagon-trains began to
pass US on their way to the rear, and rumors
of misfortune and disaster came thick and
fast, but as they all parked safely many thou
sands Of dollars were saved Uncle Sam, and
we plodded on, soon to reach Chantilly
woods, where we met with an obstruction.
And here Co. M is entitled to especial
mention as having stood it's ground against
the mad charges of Pat Cameron's IN. W
battery down the road which we were
marching along seeking safe position to
the rear from the pursuit of FitZhugh Lees
cavalry, and before which the head of our
column melted away, accelerated by the cry
that the whole rebel army was just be-
hind
When Col. Green came onto the road and
found Co. M was not stampeded, a smile of
qualification illumned his face.
The regiment was quickly in line of bat
tie, and two guns of the battery stopped by
our Quartermaster was placed in command
of the road, front and rear, and which on
examination after the scare was found to
have the charges of ammunition bottom up;
but we stopped the rebel army.
Great Scott what an escape for the Pen
insular vets at Clouds Mills and vicinity, as
well as Washington!
Well, our return was soon ordered, as our
services were deemed of more Importance in
the Notifications around Washington than at
the front just at that time; and though we
found those old vets at Clouds Mills, moth
ing was surely safe till our regiment got
back and Co. Ms lot was at Fort Tillin-
ghast near Division Headquarters, Airing
ton House, Va, where our time was put in
with some fun, much work in shape Of
building forts, rife-pits, roads, and usual
routine of garrison life until May, 1864.
Then cold Unconditional ordered us to
the front to do some metitorious digging
with his old vets. Co. NJ showed its fight
ing qualities, and as the record proves, kept
its end up.-EDwIN F. SPoFToRD, 175 Leb-

Capt. Barnett, Battery J. Cd H., saw the
battery before being himself discovered, and
made complete about-wheel and passed
around to the west over to the ridge, where
the brigade (McCook's) was placed in posi-
ton by Maj Fullerton, of Gen. Changers
staff by some queer defects of memory,
it is claimed that Maj. Fullerton went back
TO McA(ee Church after McCook, and that
Maj. Beaham put McCook in position; but
the bulk of evidence is as above.
Col. McCOok was in position by 2 p. M,
aud had several little spats during the after
noon, at long range with various of the
enemy who appeared In the field. Why
he permitted Walthall to reach there and
lie so quietly until disturbed by force
coming from the center Of the Union lines,
/ have not yet been able to determine with
any kind of satisfaction.
The wonderful stories told of what Nc
Cook did, and how Battery ] played the
clown for the amusement of Walthall, are
worthy of Munchausen, and Comrade Work
has added several new features to them.
At 4:30 p. III. Gen. Thomas decided to
perform his wonderful feat of opening the
center of his lines in broad daylight, in the
face of an enemy that had been acknowl-
edged by the General commanding the
army to be overwhelming, and for that pur-
pose sent orders to Gen. Reynolds to with
draw from his front
A halfhour later, Gen. Thomas followed
his order to see how the step was working,
and just as he reached the Lafayette road
some biuebirds told him that the woods on
his left, TO the west of the Lafayette road,
were full of rebels
Gen. TuIchin's Brigade, with the General
at its head, and leading the withdrawal of
Gen. Reynoldss Division, had reached where
Gen. Thomas then was, and, turning to Gen.
