HISTORIC BROOK FARM.

Many Famous Men Make Their Start In
That Community.
Brook Farm is place of mysteries,
with all its sunny meadows, bowery
hills and happy birds, writes Hezeliah
Butterworth, in profuselv illustrated
sketch of the place made famous by
Hawthorne, Alcot, Curtis, Dana and
Ripley. There is no mystery, perhaps,
in the psychic life of America greater
than how SO many young enthusiasts
of like heart, mind and faith should
have found themselves here fifty or
more years ago. They were all APP
parently disciples of Emmanuel Kant;
all Fourierites; all social reformers.
They were all destined to become IA
nous; they were the elect of life, but
ut that time they knew it not. They
were, for the most part, poor. Prof.
George Ripley. who was content to be
poor if he could do good in the world,
was the leader of these gentle philoso-
piers. He did good and became rich.
George William Curtis was there;
Charles A. Dana, now of the New
York Sun; Bronson, who became editor
of the Catholic Review; Dwight, who
did much for music in America in
Alcott made his social experiments at
Fruitlands, but, like Emerson, was in
touch with Brook Farm. Many of the
afterward philanthropists of Boston
were there, of whom but few now re-
main.
The Brook Farm house is now Ger
man orphan asylum. supported | think,
by some union of charities in Boston.
Large additions have been made to the
solid house associated with Prof. Rip
iey's literary and philosophical com
munity, then called the "Phalanstery.
To an eye like Thoreau's it would be
regarded as a beautiful estate, but its
charms are subtle and simple. The
brook sings forever by the roadside
under the pond willows and goes wind
ing through matted grass of rich pas
lures to the river Charles, that gilt
tiers afar. silver sheen guarded by
priestly savins. The hills are hearsed
with pines. A little way from the old
house is the so-called Margaret Full
Ter cottage and little beyond, in a
long, cloudy cloister of pines that for
ever chant the monotonous sweetness
of the passing worlds life, is Pulpit

He uli11 Not Droun Himself.
(From the Trou. ". z. Tymes.l


R. W. Edwards, of Lansingburg, was
Frustrated by sunstroke during the war,
and it has entailed on him peculiar and Sc
rious consequences. At present writing
Mr.. E. is a prominent officer of Post Lyon,
G. A. R., Cohoes and a past aide de camp on
the staff of the commander-in-chief of AL
bany Co. In the interview with reporter,
he said:
81 was wounded and sent to the hospital
at Winchester. They sent me together with
others to Westinghouse ride of about 100
miles. Having no room in the box cars we
were placed face up on the bottom of fiat
cars. The sun beat down upon our unpro-
tected heads. When reached Washington
was insensible and was unconscious for
ten days while in the hospital. An abscess
gathered in my ear and broke; it has been
gathering and breaking ever since. The
result of this 100-mile ride and sunstroke
was heart disease, nervous prostration, in
son1nia and rheumatism. A completely
shattered system which gave me no rest
night or day. AS a last resort took some
Pink Pills and they helpedme to a wonder
full degree. Ny rheumatism is gone, my
heart failure, dyspepsia and constipation
are about gone, and the absceSs in my ear
has stopped diseharging and my head feels
as clear as a bell when before it felt as
though it would burst, and my once shat
G6f6Q nervous system IS now nearly SOQnO.
Look at those fingers Mr.. Edwards said,
''do they look as if there was any rheuma-
tism there?" He moved his fingers rapidly
and freely and strobe about the room like a
young boy. "a year ago those fingers were
gnarled at the joints andso stiff that could
not hold a pen. My knees would swell up
and could not straighten my leg out. My
joints would squeak when I moved them.
That is the living truth.
"When I came to think thatI was going to
be crippled with rheumatism, together with
the rest of my ailments, tell you life
seemed not worth living. / suffered from
dependency. | cannot begin to tell you,n
said Mr. Edwards, as he drew long breath,
''what my feeling is at present. l think if
you lifted ten years right off my life and
could feel no better. l was an old man
and could only drag myself painfully about
the house. Now can walk off without any
trouble. That in itself,' continued Mr..
Edwards, ''Would be sufficient to give me
cause for rejoicing, but when you come to
consider that / am no longer what you
might call nervous and that my heart is ap-
parently nearly healthy, and that can
sleep nights, you may realize why | may APP
pear to speak in extravagant praise of Pink
Pills. These pills quiet my nerves, take
that awful pressure from my head, and at
the same time enrich my blood. There
seemed to be no circulation in my lower
limbs year ago, my legs being cold and
clammy at times. Now the circulation
there's as full and as brisk as at any other
part of my body. / used to be so light
order that frequently fell while crossing
the floor of my house. Spring is coming
and l never felt better in my life and am
looking forward to busy season of work. -

LANDER, Wyo., July 31.-A courier
from Clark's ranch, at the head of Big
Wind river, reports that the sheriff
posse were to leave there for Jackson's
Hole, by way of Union pass. The In
dams have started forest fires in heavy
timber along the pass, but Sheriff
Grimmett made up his mind to attempt
the passage with his party. j. Miller
has just arrived from the mines and
reports a camp of 300 Indians
near Oregon Buttes, not far from
South Pass city. He says they are I'M
accompanied by squaws or papooses,
and it is probably war party. Mount
ed men left here last night in small
squads to scour the country, not only
to look after the Indians, but to warn
settlers as we'll. These Indians have
been assem- bling there for the past
three days. A party of forty-seven
Sioux were seen on the Bad Water by
Deputy Sheriff Baldwin. These In
dams were undoubtedly on their way
to Sweet Water, and are probably a
part of those reported camped at Ore

LIVE STOCK SHIPMENTS.
Secretary Morton Determined the Laws

Secretary Morton Determined the Laws
Thereon Shall BE Enforced.
WASHINGTON, July 3L-Compara-
lively frequent complaints have been
fled at the agricultural department
alleging violations of the law by rail-
way companies in keeping live stock
in transit confined in cars for over
twenty-four hours, the legal allotted
time, or falling to give the stock five
continuous hours of rest when unload
ed. Most of the complaints involve
western roads.
Secretary Morton is determined that
the laws regulating the transportation
of live stock shall be enforced, and
representatives of the department will
be required to assist by furnishing all
information of violations of the law
that can be procured to the depart
meut of justice. The secretary has
sent to all railway companies engaged
in live stock transportation the follow
ing circular, insisting on strict COM
pliance with the law:
The attention Of the officers Of all railway
companies engaged in the transportation of
live stock from one state or territory into an
other, whose roads form any part of line
transporting live stock from one state or ter
ritory into another, is directed to sections
1896. 1897 1888 and 1889 of the revised statutes.
Complaint has been made to this department
| by its officers supervising the movement OF
animals in the Interstate and export trade
that the provisions Of those sections are not
! complied with by many railway companies,
| and that cattle and other live stock are con-
| fined in for period exceeding twenty
| eight hours, and at times when they are I'M
| loaded they are not allowed the FIVE conSecu-
| tive hours for rest provided by statute.
The failure of the railway companies to con-
| form with this law causes animals great suffer
ing while in transit to points of destination
which it is the intention of the law to prevent
Railway companies will therefore make such
| arrangements as are necessary in their train
| service and provide the necessary feeding and
| watering stations to comply with the statutes
J and any failure to do this will render them
| liable, on conviction, to the penalty provided
| in section 1883
