The Secretary of War reclined on a cushion from an ambulanoe, a suent but interested spectator. Gen. 3herklxu flitted about as one thoroughly accustomed to such scenes. Long H before the time of convening the" dusky horde peered curiously at the powerful vtnUor, the squaws racking many gestures , i of approbation of his stalwart form When ail was ready Chief Waskakie lit the peace. pipe and handed it to the Piesident.

He extended to , bis pale-face visitors the hospitality of the leseiiatlou, wltlUts abundance of fish and game. The startling Indian policy of Gen. Sheridan wxa then presented to the tribe. He proposed to do away with all reset nations as such, and Indian agencies and agents. In , the place of the lands thus taken the Gorernment wou!d issue bonds bearing interest the same as any other Government bonds. These bonds would be issued in payment for eg piupeity lost, and the interest paid semlamvaally. Under this act the Indians . would be obliged to take up homesteads " and lire on the interest of the 'bonds, sad the product of the-farma thus secured. , The interest of the bonds would be payable at certain convenient forte by United Ptates officials, in the same way as the ' army is paid. Una wooM effectually , release the Indians tiom the control of the Interior Department and place them absolutely at the merer of the Department of r War. There would be no agencies, but the citizens would be protected by existing lines 4 of forts. Gen. Sheridan claimed that nearly . Ul the Indian trouKeof the last few years , ' have arisen through the corruption tt Indian agents. Under his method the Indians would be hel l responsible as citizens, and would be liable to both civil and mlHUry law In the district hi which they reside. Reclaimed that the Government would be benefited by the issuance of, bonds, and the Indians would secure all that is due them under the present system. In fact, the latter would receive more than they do now, M so much is absorbed in passing through dtifezent hands. ' Joseph F.

The general spread ot the disease is now no longer doubtful, and great anxiety prevails. Business is suspended. Agriculture is neglected. Judgment against the fellaheen are not to tie executed for two months. The railway service is reduced to a minimum The postal service is greatly upset The customs receipts are tailing. The Egyptian officials in the administration are disorganized. Persons arriving from the interior report that the cattle-plague is worse than ever, and that the diseased meat is consumed by the natives as heretofore." Later crop reports from England put a much brighter look on the situation. The shortage on wheat and barley will be very smatt, while oat and potatoes will yield far beyond average crops.

A cable dispatch from Constantinople announces the discovery of Nonh's ark. "It appears," pays the dispatch, "that some Turkish Commissioners appointed to investigate the question ot avalanches on Mount Ararat suddenly came upon a gigantic structure of very dark wood protruding from a glacier. They made inquiries of the inhabitants. They had seen it for six years, but had been afraid to approach it because a spirit of fierce aspect bad been seen looking ont T the upper window. The Turkish Commissi'jners, however, are bold men, not deterred by such trifles, and they determined to reach it Situated as it was, among the fastnesses of one of the glens of Mount Ararat, it was a work of enormous difficulty, and it was only after incredible hardships that they succeeded. The ark, one will be glad to hear, was in a good state ot preservation, although the angles observe, not the how- or stern had been a good deal broken in its descent. They recognized it at once. There was an Englishman among them who had presumably read his Bible, and he saw it was made of the ancient gopher wood of Scripture, which, as everybody knows, grows only on the plains of the Euphrates. Effecting an entrance into the structure, which was painted brown, they found that the admiralty requirements for the conveyance of horses had been carried out, and the interior was divided into partitions fifteen feet high. Into three of these only could they get, the others being full of ice, and how far the ark extended into the glacier they could not telL If, however, on being uncovered it turns out to be 300 cubits long it will go hard with disbelievers in the Book of Genesis. 3 At the State Convention of the National party of New Jersey, held at Ashury Park, a platform was presented for adoption. The document expressed opposition to an monopolies, favored control by the Government of the railways and telegraph lines, equal taxation, universal suffrage, and submitting to the popular vote an amendment to the State constitution prohibiting the manufacture and sale ot intoxicating liqnors, A warm discussion followed over the clause, favoring woman suffrage. Mrs. Marie Howland, a delegate, arose to speak, but began crying and sat down. The platform was finally adopted as read, with the exception of a temperance plank. A resolution expressing sympathy with the striking telegraph operators was passed, Benjamin Urner, ot Union county, was nominated for Governor. President Arthur and party reached Buffalo Lake, in Wyornhu? Territory, on the Gth of August. The Chief Magistrate fished all the afternoon of that day, and was successful, catching many fine trout.

Takes the Lead in tba Amount of Land Taken by Actual Settlers. A Good Showing Also Hade by the Southern Stales, So Long

rwaahington Telegram to the Chicago IntcrOcesn. An official statement, furnished by tho Commissioner of the General Land, Office, shows something of the marvelous tapidity with which the newer States andTerri.orics are tecoming populated; and the enormous drafts which are being made upon the pnbile domain in order to satisfy the requirements of aotutt setuefs. ft also indicates that the public lands remaining In the Southern States, which had been so long neglected, arc rapidly coming under settlement, Tho statement includes the more important transfers of public lands in the fo lowing States and Territories: Dakota, Florida, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Ore on, Washington and Wisconsin. As compared wit h the year ouded June 30, U8.', ihc statement shows an increase of S5, '.IT in the number of entries (cash sales, original homestead entries and tinibei-cniture entries) and H,S0-,M4iria the number of acres ontcioit. The amount receive! from caBh sales increased from t ,- 318,834 in 1832 to 7.5 H,i-i in lti, or more than 123 per cent In l-82 the number of pre-emption and Other filings and of applications to purchase mineral, limber and Stone lands in tho same Stales and Territories was 211,080, and the amount of fees received, StM.SCS; in 1881 tho number and amount were respectively 4.1,511 and tiH,84a The amount of fees and commissions paid on account ot original homestead entries in 1882 was 4450,001 : in 1883 it was 572,01a Dakota, of course, takes the lead, both in the amount of land taken by actual settlers and in the amount sold for cash. In that

j Territory the number of homestead entiles

moreasea irom covering i,AB,2ts acre, to 22, 4M, coverings, 207. 227 acres. The number of timber-culture entries ran up from 0,308, covering 1, 8,Sa; acres, to 11.500, covering 1,705,-50 acres, and the cash sales increased from G73,H88 acres at SS177,242 to 1,518,014 acres at 3,10U,887. Probably tho history of no State or Territory can furnish a parallel to these figures. In Florida the cash sales Increased from 128,872 acres, at 1158,037, to 321,853 acres, at 341,554, and the number of original homestead entries from 191,038 acres to 212,605 acres. The publio lands of Kanras have been pretty closely culled, and. although the cash sales increased from 90,063 acres at 118,583 to 15H"4 acres at 9169.329, the homestead entries fell off from 5h7,S49 acres to 508,781 acres, and the' timber-culture entries decreased from 273,053 acres to 337,860 acres. In Louslana the cash sales decreased from 367,405 acres at 462,('00 to 355.2S0 acres at 448,818, but tho homestead entries ran up from 872, covering 117,703 acres, to 935, covering 124,650 acres, and the timber-culture entries increased from 1,001 acres to 7,754 acres. In -Minnesota there was a decided increase in cash sales from 31,405 acres at t4S2,69 to 739,345 acres at 1,321,1170, but there was a falling off in original homestead entries from 588,343 acres to 431. acres, and in timber - culture entries from 176,741 acres to 122,750 acres. The homestead settlers of this State are rapidly acquiring patents for their farms after five years of settlement, as also is the casein Kansas. In MinneEo:a they received patents to 81,238 acres tins year against 245,08 i last year. In Kansas the amount in 1883 was .'0i,081 acres, against 409 i.00 in 1832. There were no entries in Mississippi under the Timber-Culture act, but the cash sales increased from 219,5 acres at 274,S20 to H4t,563 acres at 440,1(2, and the original homestead entries from 188,483 acres to 167,079 acres. Nebraska still has a targe area of fertile publio lands which are open to settlement. In that State the number of original homestead entries in It 82 was 3,&8. covering 471,939 acres; in 1883 there were 4,728 entries, covering 716,508 acres. The cash sales increased from 112.575 acres at 1143,753 to 190,628 aorej at I511.H77, and the number of timber-culture entries ran up from 2,086, covering 298,520 acres, to 3,210, Hovering 4'. 8,204 acres. In Oregon the cash sales increased from 52,319 acres at 85,500, to 59,066 acres at 123,503; but the homestead entries fell off from 153,532 acres to 111,476 acres, and the timber-culture entries from 88,038 acres to 35,408 acres. m Washington Territory, however, there wai a remarkable increase, not only in cash sales, but in homestced and timber culture entries. The cash sales increased from 7I.SS44 acres at $102,; 45, to 251,0s6 acres at 571,446; the original homestead entries from 231,132 acres o 380,778 acres, and the timber-culture entries from 87,524 acres ts 14 j.412 acres. In Wisconsin, while the cash sales fell off from 848,5(0 acres, at 5JH.538, to 312,574 sores at (504,105, the original homestead entries increased from 87-J, covering 98,478 acres, to 982, cover.ng 111,707 acres. While the foregoing figures do not cover all the States and Territories in which unoccupied lands are still open to sstttement, they are believed to show fairly the enormous growth in population of the new States and Territories generally, for they include the Territories in which about threefourths of the public land sales and entries wei e mado last yean In the South the entries in Alabama and Arkansas will probably show as great an increase relatively as in tho.'. Southern States for which the official figures are given. It is known, too, that during the past year there has been a large increase of immigration to New Mexico, Utah, Montana and other Territories, and consequently a very large increase in the amount of public land which has come into the possession of actual settlers.

Horein has the South the advantage of the North tho best society is free from the 'shoddy' element that is so prevalent in most of our cities up North." How Good Dinner Are Spoiled. Not long since five young ladies were invited to dine with ono of their old school friends, a lovely girl, who hod won all hearts to her by her cordial, hearty manner and unselfish ways. The invitations wero joyously accepted, and all went to her home with expectations of a very happy time. On returning homo tho mother of one of the young ladies asked : "Did you have a pleasant visit?" and the reply was: "Yes, it was delightful, except at table, and then wo wore fairly persecuted." "What do you mean? I cannot see how you could have been persecuted. You should not use suoh strong expressions, Jenny!" "If you had boon there," replied the daughter, "I do not think you would bave called them too strong, for indeed wo were just beset, and I was surprised enough to find one who appears so well in society oh Julio, so locking of wellbred manners at her own table. But wo had a lively time after dinner, and sang our old songs and talked over old days at school, and I suppose it is not very kind of mo to speak of tho dinner. The table was .beautifully arranged with handsome china and glass, and, adorned with flowers and fruits, looked very inviting as wo entered the pleasant .Wing-room; but, from Iho time we sat down to tho table until we left it, we were ho besot by Julia, that it just spoiled all enjoyment of it. The first course was raw oysters, and as two of the girls wore not fond of them, Julia bogau: Don't you sat raw oysters, Sallie? nor you either Cornelia. I'm so sorry. I though everybody loved raw oysters. They're my perfect delight, and I thought when "ordered them I had something that you would doto on. Queer, isn't it, that wo all do not liko the same things! Then when tho next course was brought in, with quite a variety of dishes, and til very bountifully served, Julia began igain, 'Lottto, you'ro not eating anything. Isthatboef tooraro? What con give you?' and, when Lottie replied, 'Thank you, I'm well served, and this is very nico, Julia,' sho turned to tho guest at her left, and said, 'How is your's, Nellie? Now, do speak if it isn't right. I wish you would all mako yourselves At bonus, and ask for wbxt you like.'

'But you'ro not drinking yours, Mary, nor ating anything! Do have another bisctit. Thoy are not as nice as I wiBb they were, but do take another, Mary." 'They're perfectly lovely,' said Mary, 'and tho coffee is delicious. You could not have a dinnor that would be nicer.'

Starling in Lire. Some time ago Bey. W, F. Grafts sent a circular letter to a large number of successful men in various callings in life, requesting them to answer the following questions : L Was your boyhood up to 14 years of ago spent in the country, in a village, Of in a city? 2, In either case wero you accustomed to engage in any regular work when out of school, either in tho way of self help or for your parents ? 3. At what ago did you begin business life or undertake self support? 4. Did you use tobacco previous to tho age of 16? 5. What maxims or watch-words, if any, have had a strong influence upon your life and helped yon to success? 6. What do you consider" essential elements of success for a young man entering such a business or profession as yours? 7. What, in your observation, have 1km n the chief causes of the numerous failures in the life of professional and commercial men? The replies to the first question in Mr. Crafts' circular show that while 47 per cent, of our population of working a e livo in the country districts, they furnish 57 per cent, of our successful men, while the cities, with 20 per cent, of the population, furnish but 17 per cent. A very large majority of America's living famous men were farmers' boys, among them being Senator Edmunds, Senator Logan, Alexander H. Stephens, John Jacob Astor, Elihu Burritt, Joseph Cock, Joseph Medill and Mark Hopk'us. In the majority of instances the writers, when boys, hod worked, with more or lesi regularity, and many of them began to mako their pwn living when scarcely in their teens. Four-fifths of them did not nso tobacco before they were 16 years old, and those who did, with bnt three exceptions, mention tho fact with regret, The maxims which were watchwords to these men were of groat variety, a few being, "Business before pleasure," "Work,. economise, persevere," "Never give up one job till yon got another," "Never fail to konp a promise, " "Always pay a hundred cents on the dollar," "Paddlo your own csnoe," "Buy nothing unnecessary, however cheop," "Save a portion of ever.- dollar earned," "Bo honest, whether the ducats come or go," "Eternal vigilance is the price of success," "Make your employers' interests your own," "Have a debt on your house as an incentive to saving." Henry Ward Beeoher said : "If a young man will-only get in debt for some land and then get married, these two things will get him straight or nothing will." Essential elements to success, in the writers' opin ions, were diligence, energy, gi od management, uprightness, determination to succeed, adaptation, conscientiousness, sobriety, unflinching integrity, fidelity to God and tho right, faithfulness, promptness, unceasing labor, etc. Tlia many failures were mainly attributed to intemperance, extravagance, lack of enterprise and ability, dishonest practices, living beyond one's m?ans, want of sticktoativonosa, trusting too much to others, idleness, the net ion of making a fortune in u thort tune, licentiousness, bad habits, laziness, etc. Cincinnati Times. Reptiles in Disguise. Everybody is fond of birds, but it is posssible that some people might like them less if thoy believed, them to be only reptiles in disguise. Now, Sir John Lubbock, addressing tho British Association in 1881, said : "It seems to be generally admitted that birds have come down to us through the Dinosaurians (Wonder-lizards); and. as Huxley has shown, tho profound .break once supposed to exist between birds and reptiles has been bridged over by the discovery of reptilian birds and birdlike reptiles so that, in fact, birds are modified reptiles." Popular likes and dislikes are no disproof of relationship. Birds with teeth and reptiles with feathers have been oited in evidence, although, indeed, they are very like "Cuckoo, cuckoo, welcome, bird, seldom seen, but often heard" of. Birds and reptiles are alike reproduced from eggs ; their blood corpuscles are equally oval, and not round, as in mammal animals. Both apparently swallow thoir food without tasting it Possibly the stomach may bo with them the seat of taste, as it often is wit.U us when we have taken physio or eaten stale fish or too muoh sage and onion stuffing with dnck. Both are musical. Serpents are fond of melody, though they cannot mako it. Batraouians as well as bipeds have thoir grand united ohoraj societies. American bullfrog concerts are celebrated, as well as numerously attended. Tins song of thrushes and tho wailing of nightingales may, therefore, be only developments of tho green European tree-frogs resonant croak, effeotod, as with birds, by inflated expansions of the tho throat, very ouriom to witneis. Froggy looks as proud as his predecessor in the fable, and one wonders that he does not, like him, burst. Feathers may be only a modification of scales.

IT is a question, with s6rrJe Westerd farmers whether they are really profiting by robbing their land of fertility and selling enormous crops at the present low rates.

the late pruning of grapevines is injurious, it being generally supposed that

the excessive now of sap from tne severed branch was caused by an undue drainage of the whole vine rather than the simple escape of the sap which would naturally pass into the part severed. Grapevines were pruned at the Massachusetts Agricultural College at different seasons of the year, and it was found that those trimmed during the sap-flowing period were fully as strong

and productive as those pruned in the all and winter. The loss of sap pro

duces no apparent harm; still the operation is objectionable, because there is a time for pruning everything, and to do it out of its season is not systematic. Chicago Journal. Mb. O. S. Buss remarks: "There are several diseases of the skin which are known in different places and to different persons as ' cow-itch.' In general the best ' simple' application for all affections of the skin is a mixture of lard and petroleum or kerosene well rubbed in with the fingers. In some coses salt butter ia preferable to Krd. It is not necessary or desirable to caub on a large quantity, but only as muoh as can be rubbed in. Sometimes tobacco has been used effectively, and sometimes valuable nninwls have died apparently from the effects of its use. Mercurial and sulphur ointments are sometimes used, but they are not always safe and should never be used except as a last resort. I have heard of cases where the itch has been cured by the use of vinegar alone, bnt I cannot vonch for the disease having been itch." The possibility of a comparativelyrr grass crop and injury to the corn the unfavorable spring weather makes it doubly important that provis

ion be made for extra feed during summer and early fall. We renew our

sufnrestion that corn or sorghum be

drilled reasonably thickly, to be used

as a soiling crop or for winter feeding.

Millet and Hungarian grass will also be admirable helps. There is coming to be a much more general recognition than formerly of the truth that flesh

can be put on either cattle or pigs

much more rapidly, and, usually, more profitably, in the early fall than in the

winter, or even late rail, riannng at least a few acres of some of the earliest-ripening varieties of corn enables a farmer to commence feeding earlier. We value sweet corn highly as a starting point in fall feeding. Yonng cattle and hegs seem especially fond of this, and it has a capital effect in starting the laying on of fat There are strong arguments in favor of the greater profitableness of feeding well-matured corn, but there can be no dispute concerning the rapid gain made by and the good condition of animals fed on the green or ripening corn in August or first part of September, before the larger and later-maturing varitoies of field corn are ready for use. The pumpkin crop is one which we underestimate. We do not mean that it should be grown as a main crop, but we do feel confident that a reasonable-sized "pumpkin patch" is decidedly a good thing to have on the farm to be used mainly in the fall and very early winter.
