Where it is possible to do SO hay
stacks should be located on the
poorest spots of meadow orlpasture {,
so that the grass reed, droppiugs of
the stock and waste fodder may be
de posted where great good will
result from it. 1t is usually the case
that the stacks are built on high parts
of the meadow most convenient tor
reaching, and year after year but little
deviation is made as to site.


Dry ground is desirable to feed up
on, and we suppose this is the reason
for seeking elevated locations; but
this,excuse for continuing to place
stacks there is not plausible one, fol
in wet or stormy time the stoch
should be fed at the barn, and stacl
feeding only when the earth is frozer
hard and the weather pleasant. Now
is the time to give this matter atten
ton. Whele stock can be turned

Thousands Of farmers have never
seen horse or a pair ofhorseS driven
in another way than with the ordina'
ry double lines. Other thousands
have never seen anything else than Q
single line used in plowing either with
one or two horses. Recently a cor
respondent OF an agricultural paper
asked how this was done. In the
South we have seen teams driven
with rope tied to one side Of the bii
of one Of the mules or horses, but
usually the line is fastened TO a rein.
A loop at the other end is provided
for greater convenience in holding
the line. With a little training
horse learns to be guided by this a.
readily as with the double lines. a
steady pull turns to the left; light
Jerks to the right. A person accus
toned only to this line finds th'

WE are informed that this town is af- f1icted with newspaper thieves. They make themselves especially busy and obnoxious to saloon and hotel Keepers who keep the latest papers for the use of their guests and those who may drop in to rest and while away an hour or two. Charles O. Brown got entirely discouraged trying to keep papers on his tables and we hear that these petty thieves are depredat- ing at the Cosmopolitan hotel.

I was lately conversing with NJ.
Louis Langue, and of the French
admirers Of NJ. Darwin, and during
the interview NJ Langue developed a
very remarkable consequence of the
doctrine of the survival OF the futest.
He urged that inasmuch as species
and individuals survive in the struggle
for life only by reason of superior
ability to master their environment,
whereby it comes to pass the
strong patronage the strong

unscientiic and uniustifabIe to interfere
with nature in her work in any way
wherby those who are unit to survive
shall be aided in their struggle. Man
is not exempt from the action of
the general law Of the survival
of the fttesl, and therefore any
means wherefore the weak are kept IN
existence, and it is rendered possible
for them to propagate their species, IS
indefensible. When the Spartans
killed their deformed offspring, they

Our readers are familiar with the results of this affair which occurred the last of January, but as to the causes which in duced it, they may not be. Having been interrogated by many as to why it occur red, we published February II, that it was " feared the cause Is indescribably disgrace "ful;" and also stated we had an abiding " faith that the facts will sooner or later be ascertained with sufficient defniteness "to satisfy the public upon whom the " blame should rest"

 At the time and for weeks thereafter, there were rumors, statements, and quite positive averments by various parties who professed to know something of San Carlos affairs, that justified our remark; Ut as all were somewhat conflicting, we prefer red to not prejudice the case for or against any one and await an investigation which it seemed absolutely essential should be made. And such an investigation has been made by General Crook and here is what he says:

 I investigated the matter of the Indians leaving the reservation, and am fully con vinced that no white men had anything to do with their going out, but the job was set up by Cocheney and party. The Gila was very high and it was with great diff culty even buck Indian could swim it. All the Indians were encamped on the op- posite side from the agency. They were induced to get on C ''tiz-win" :" drunk, and, when in this condition, Cocheney told the Indians he was going to make an attack and that they would all be killed for com plicity If they did not go to the mountains. Some of the Indians swan the river and told our people of it. While absentthe fam flies of the ones who gave the news, were

 forced off, and in that way they were all induced to go.

 It is pleasure to give these points to the public. That they exist, proves our pru-

 dence and justice in not printing any of

 the many statements made to us with a l view to have censure attach to innocent l parties. With these remarks, we again | rest the case under consideration.

Floundering through q recent batch of the

the testimony of the young woman who spoke
to the household tantrums of the Refined, We

Afterward she added: "He locked her up and

"When she was not crying she was praying"-
but this is point too tenderly delicate for us
to dwell upon.


There has been great deal too much YER
bosity in this case, but of all the interlocutors
the Refined has been the most persistently
yoluble. When he was not punching some

Really we must beg our Southern brethren
TO pause and consider We have every wish
to see the Union made whole again-with

and welcome even the old fire-eater who killed
his man before breakfast, quoted Tom Jeifer-
son as he pulled the trigger, and ate his not
corn pone and fried chicken afterward with
good appetite and serene spirit. lie was
genuine fellow in his way, and deserved place
in the republic as well as the Missouri Pike or
Denver Rough, whose ways were the same.
But there was a bad imitation OF the Old
man who, we hoped, had died out
during the war-the duelist-whose pis-
tolls never smeled OF fire. We all OF us
remember him-cOuld give him dozen names
if we chose-know how he used to faunt his

flag; how some kindred Southern soul' ardeh'
with chivalry and brandy-slings, was GSrpe.u-
ally treading on it in debate in Washington
or at a ball in Baltimore or in the lobby oil
the SpottswoOd House in Richmond; how the
fiery challenge to mortal combat was flung down
and the gage taken up with fierce alacrlty;
how principals and seconds glared at each other
during a whole afternoon and night; how the
whole country, warned by hourly kilograms, held
its breath to see the fatal end; how recon-
cliation was declared impossible; how, defy
ing impossibility, the Convenient Friend inva-
riably stepped in at the eleventh hour be-
tween these deadly foes and proposed refer
ment of the whole matter to other honorable
and convenient friends. Then followed the
Correspondence, which the still breathless
public perused with terror and admiration;
wherein light was thrown on this dark and
bloody ground, ending finally by fervid dec
laratiOn from each mortal foe of his unswerv-
ing friendship for the other, and his deep re-
gret that misunderstanding should have
marred, ETC., etc.


Now this little farce, amusing enough at

like green carrion flies about an animal trying
to work. You shall find them on the barrels
in front of the store eating sections of stale
pies, drinking tin nOgglns of strychnine
whisky, cursing by the honor of gentleman
and pulling out a revolver to emphasize each
oath. The next time pair of them run into
an affair of honor before the police authOri-
ties, let them be clapped into Jail right off
