FARM, GAIIDEX AM) HOUSEHOLD,
Item* of Practical Interest.
At least half of the trees whioh bear
frnit every year would be benefited by
having half the fruit taken oil as soon
as it is well set. The overbearing of a
tree will in a few years destroy it.
As the time approaches when spring
work commences, it would be well to re
pair gates, get your fence in good order,
train vines over your outbuildings, and
put shrubbery along your feDces. Get
as much verdure in sight as possible,
and if you are able to make your build
ings and fence white, all the better.
Seeds that grow on limestone land
6hoald be changed every few years for
those which grow on barren or gravel
land, and vicc versa. Such an exchange
proves beneficial. By continuing to
sow ono kind of seed all the time, the
crop will become inferior in quality. In
regard to live stock it is the same.
Breeds should be crossed as often as
practicable.
Gardeners should attend to the follow
ing rules in making flower beds : Avoid
placing rose colored next to scarlet,
orange or violet. Do not place orange
next to yellow, or blue next to violet.
White relieves any color, but do not
place it next to yellow. Orange goes
well with blue, and yellow with violet.
Bose color and purple always go well
together.
When drying off cows after the regu
lar milking has ceased, the udder should
be frequently examined at intervals of
a iew uays, ana any miiK wmcu una col
lected should bo removed. If left un
attended to to, serious injury may be in
flicted upon the udders, such as the loss
of teats, shrinkage of the udders, etc.,
thus impairing the future usefulness of
oows.
Household Hints.
The best plan t-o remove grease from
wall paper is to lay several folds of
blotting paper on the spot, and hold a
hot iron near it until tno grease is ab
sorbed.
All salted provisions must be watched
and kept under brine. When the brine
looks bloody, or smells badly, it must
be epalded, and more salt put into it,
and poured over the meat.
For cleaning tinware, nothing better
than common soda can be used. Damp
en a cloth, dip it into 'soda and rub the
ware briskly, after which wipe dry and
it will look equal to new.
A cool and dry room is indispensable
for a storeroom, and a small window
over the door, and another openiDg out
doors, give a great advantage by se
curing coolness and circulation of fresh
air.
Unbolted flour should be kept in kegs
or covered tUDs, ana always do Kept ou
hand as regularly as fine flour. It
should be bought only when freshly
ground, and only in moderate quanti
ties, as it loses sweetness by long keep
ing.
To make delicious graham rolls take
one pint of sweet milk, one teaspoonful
of salt and stir in graham flour to form
a thick batter. Mix this at night and
in the morning have your roll iron
smoking hot; pour in the batter and
bake in a quick oven.
Molasses, if bought by the barrel or
half barrel, should be kept in the cellar.
If bought in small quantities, it should
be kept in a demijohn. No vessel should
be corked or bunged, if filled with mo
lasses, as it will swell and burst the ves
sel, or run over.
It is best to have a store closet open
from the kitchen, because the kitchen
fire keeps the atmosphere dry, and this
prevents the articles stored from mold
ing, and other injury from dampness.
Yet it must not be kept -warm, as there
are many articles which are injured by
warmth.
To make a single cup of chocolate, or
a greater quantity by a like course and
proportion of ingredients, grate a des
sertspoonful of chocolate; dissolve it in
half a cup of boiling water; bring to boil
a cup of rich milk, stir in the chocolate
when thoroughly melted, boil up three
minutes, pour out and serve.
How to Cook Salt Fiah.
To make salt fish agreeable it requires
a great deal of soaking. Therefore it
should be obtained a few days in ad
vance. Put it in a pan with plenty of
cold water and change the water often.
To boil it, place in a drainer in a fish
kettle, cover it with water; when it boils
sKim it; let it simmer tuiaone. a mien:
piece from a large fish will require half
an hour, and a thin piece twenty min
utes. Xhe minute it is out of the water
egg sauce and boiled parsnips should be
served.
Another way of cooking salt fish ia to
make it into a pie. Boil four good sized
potatoes and one large parsnip, unless
you have thom left from the previous
day. In that case, use those, mash them
by rubbing them against the side of a
basin with a wooden spoon, melt half an
ounce of butter in half a pint of milk;
add a saltspoonful of salt, pour it into
the potatoes, and mix them into a smooth
paste, then lay half of it on a dish.
Spread it over evenly, pull out the bones,
take ofi the skin and divide about half
a pound of cold salt fish into flakes; sea
son it well, parsley, mustard and pepper;
add a little egg sauce. Lay the fish
upon the potato paste and cover it with
the remainder by spreading equally over.
Make it smooth by pressing the knife
over it. Pat it into a moderate oven
and bake for tweffty minutes.
Winter Pruning Apple Tree*.
"Niagara" asks the Times if there be
any objection to pruning apple trees of
ten or more years' growth at this time
of year. Will the freezing of the cut
edge of the bark by expansion separate
the bark from the wood, and thereby
delay the healing process ?
Reply.?Apple trees may bo pruned
now without any danger. In Drunincr
off large branches great care should be
exercised. If there are more than one
or two limbs to be taken off a part of
them should be left until next year, so
as to spare the tree as much as possible.
"Where the limb in falling might tear
the bark the lower side should first be
cut with a broad chisel and mallet, and
the saw used on the upper side. The
cut should be made close to the stem,
so that there will be a smooth wound,
without any stump sticking out. There
will then be no sprouts and no dead
wood to rot, and the wound will gradu
ally heal, the bark finally growing over
it. There is no danger to be appre
hended through freezing of the bark.
The training of an orchard should b?
such in its youth that in its old age no
large branches should need to be cut
away. To do this only sonje study and
care need to be exercisc d.
Paying his Bent.
A curious Dractical ioke was recently
played in Paris on a too importunate
landlord. A police inspector was sitting
in his bureau when a well dressed gen
tleman brought in another man, whom
he held by the collar and who appeared
to be foaming with rage. "M/ l'ln
specteur}" said tho former, "I bring
you an unfortunate madman who comes
and disturbs my house. I am ignorant
of the nature of his malady, but I find
that tho fit takes him at regular inter
vals of three months, beginning about
the fifteenth. Take every care of him,
I beg of you." The lunatic struggled
rmrJ rftr>rr?ft<Vherl his cnmrmmon. bfhnv.
ing with such violence that the inspec
tor ordered him to be placed in confine
ment. On official examination, how
ever, the lunatic was found to be per
fectly sane and the unlucky victim of a
practical joke. He had merely called to
claim tho rent from his tenant, who
probably owed his landlord a grudge,
and thus paid off his score.
The Difference,
An Englishman at Chicago writes the
following : What first strikes the stran
ger is the unaccountable difference be
tween the co3t of living in America and
the prices of the first necessaries of life.
An average head of cattle can ba bought
hero for $25, would cost as much as $90
or 8100 iu the old country. A hog cau
be bought for ?9 or $10, or at retail for
about nine or ten cents a pound, one
third of the English price. The same is
true with bread and vegetables. Yet
living here costs three or four times as
much as in Englafd. There must bo
evidently something utterly wrong in
the very basis of the social and economi
cal organization.
THE QUESTION OF SILYER.

Mr. Foster, of the United State

Many Years Agr*.
, A correspondent, telling of the way
t in which they played poker in the West w
years ago, relates a couple of incidents:
s I shall never forget the hand that was
J played between Judge Puterbaugh and
0 Ool. Tanzy, five or six years ago. I
y don't know what either of them had, i
- but both had all their money on the \
r table, and Col. Tanzy, drawing a check <
i- out of his pocket, filled it up, and said : <
b "I raise you, sir, $50." Judge Puter- J
s baugh gave an anxious glance at his *i
r hand, and being satisfied with its con- 1
1 tents, apparently, called for a bank check 1
9 himself, and, rapidly filling it up and <
b throwing it upon the table, said : " I 1
a see your raise, sir, and go you $200 \
1 better." "Iam sincerely grieved at the
. circumstance," the colonel replied, "but -
f I must play my hand;" and, calling for i
t another check and filling it up, he went i
3 the judge a thousand better. "Oh, '
- that's a mere bagatelle," remarked the i
r judge; " I have a check hefe for the bal- 1
1 jinrtfl nf thfi monev in the world, and I I
o guess you can't raise me above that." i
r That was a settler, and the judge took
r the money; but I don't think I ever en
r joyed myself so much as when the col
3 onel's and the "Judge's checkB were taken
- down to the bank the next dav, and both
were found to be quite worthless. The
s judge was very fond of a quiet game of
3 draw, and when he oould dfcne in on 11
i- two pair didn't care whether his judicial
a circuit was attended to or not. At the
i- capital one night there was a big pot on
the table, and it came down between the
e judge and a member from the sawlog re
y gion. They both seemed to have good
a hands, and after the preliminary betting ]
A the judge raised his antagonist twenty '
o dollars?all the money he had before :
o him.
o " I see that raise," exclaimed the saw
e log man, nervously shoving his cards to
s- gether, "and go you this pocketbook
better," producing an old leather wallet
it with fifty or a hundred wraps about it. <
i- "Oh, you do, do you?" said the
> judge, suspiciously eyeing the battered
receptacle of wealth. " Well, then, I
h am forced under the circumstances "?
reactang down into ms overcoat pocKec
and producing half a dozen brand new
wallets?"to go you five pocketbooks
better." Both men got their pistols out
about that time, and the delicate matter
of examining the pocketbooks was re
ferred to a committee of three of the by
standers, who reported that there was
nothing in any of the wallets, when the
judge and the lumberman cordially shook
hands across the board, and the game
went on.
Mechanical Theory of Cyclones.
Among the treatises on the mechani
cal theory of the movements of air in
revolving storms, both hurricanes and
tornadoes, but few have such practical
value as that of Colding, published in
Danish in 1871, translations of which
have reoently been prepared by Hann,
of Vienna, and Abbe, of Washington,
by means of which the English-reading
public is introduced to a series of novel
investigations into the flow of liquids,
which form a very acceptable addition
to our knowledge on the subject. Ac
cording to Colding, the laws governing
the movement of water may, with cer
tain restrictions, be applied to the
movement of the air, and after having
as an engineer for many years success
fully Btudied the currents of rivers and
oceans, Mr. (Holding has applied his re
sults to the study of a few hurricanes.
The mathematical formulae by which he
has endeavored to show the relation be
tween the velocity and pressure of the
air and the dimensions of the whirl
wind, are apparently deducted in a not
very rigorous, but sufficiently approxi
mate manner. On applying them to
the actual observations taken in con
nection with the hurricane of 1837 (the
so-called Antiguan hurricane), and also
to the hurricanes of the twenty-first of
August, 1871, he finds that the formula
a a A^oowofmna Trnf.V* a
JL C^iODt-U LD VUO VUOVXTtawvuv nAMU m v*w
gree of accuracy probably within the
errors to which the observations them
selves are likely to be subject.
The simple principle according to
which he is able to calculate the nature
of the final shape of the surface which
is shown whenever water is allowed lo
flow out of a bowl through a central
hole, consists in this, viz.: that when
the rotation is onoe established in the
water, each particle describes a circle
about the central axis, whose radius is
such that the pressure of the water
above the moving particle exactly coun
terbalances the centrifugal force due to
its circular rotation. In the case oi the
atmosphere we have, instead of a well
defined surfaoe, a series of surfaces of
equal pressure, and the centrifugal foroe
due to the circular movement around
the hurricane is counterbalanced by the
pressure of the atmosphere at that
point. Unfortunately, Mr. Coldirffe
seems not to have taken account of the
force due to the rotation of the earth on
AT i
ics axis, rus equaiioiia, uittrtuuiu, uppiy
to tornadoes, and to the central portions
of hurricanes, better than they do to the
exterior portions of large storms.
The Spring Fashions.
Cashmere associated with silk, a fash
ion journal tells us, will continue a fa
vorite combination for spring costumes,
cashmere having lost none of its old
favor. Black will be the most popular
color for these suits, as it oonforms to
the accessories of the toilet, whatever
colors they may introduce, and is there
fore both convenient and economical.
The most fashionable costumes, how
ever, will be of dark shades of other
oolors, as blue, green, eto. Knife
plaiting, still so much used, promises to
remain, at least through the season, one
of the varieties of trimming. Cashmere
suits for the street are to be completed
by a small mantelet, held in to the waist
with a belt fastened underqpath.
Polonaises are constantly growing in
favor, especially those cut after the
princesse model. Basques and over
skirts are also coming out in new pat
terns, though modistes insist that they
must soon give way to a new order of
things. The Lutetia overskirt is among
the latest This describes on the right
side a rounded apron, while the left falls
in a deep poin reaching almost to the
bottom of the underskirt, and is crossed
diagonally over the right side, giving
the efl&ct of a double apron. The back
shows two scant puffs, supplemented by
a deep flounce, and the left sido is or
namented by one of the long parasol
pockets. A l?ng tight-fitting basque,
in cuirasse shape, known as the Aspaaia,
is designed for two materials, one for
the sleeves and the rest described in tho
front, and another for the remainder of
the garment. The roma sleeve gives a
coat sleeve of graceful design; it fits
closely at the waist, and is ornamented
with a very deep puffed cuff. This pat
tern is especially appropriate for cash
mere and thin goods.
Side plaiting, still much used, re
quirae a length three times repeated,
and shirring only half or one-third more
than tho single length, according to the
fullness desired. One-third more is
enough for the fullness which is gathered
up at the sides in shirred overdresses,
the front breadths of walking skirts, or
for velvet flounces. Shirring, which
jjliuuj murco iiua^iuu in n aiiiiuuiL trim
ming to make, is really quite simple,
merely gathering repeated at regular
intervals.

THE FRIGATE CONSTITUTION.
k Reminiscence of the War of 1812?How
the Old Venae! Escaped Capture by the
British?Portions of the Tessel to be Ex
hlblted at the Centennial.
There is at least one interesting and
important circumstance connected with
the career of tbe old frigate Constitution
luring the_ war of 1812 whioh has es
japed the historians. The exploits of
the American navy during that war com
menced with the escape of the Constitu
tion from an English squadron. On the
twelfth of July the frigate, completely
3quipp?d and well manned, left the
r li 1__ 1 1 XT XT 1
uuttttttpeiuiu utiy uuuuu iur now JLur&.
On the seventeenth Bhe discovered the
British squadron, consisting of the 1
Africa, sixty-four; the Guerriere, Shan
aon, Belvidera and .Solus, frigates, with 1
i brig and a schooner. The Belvidera
was within gunshot; the day was calm 1
ind spent in towing, maneuvering and
firing. On the morning of the eighteenth |
i light breeze sprung up, when the Con
stitution spread all her canvas, and, by
outsailing the enemy, escaped a oonflict,
which she could not have maintained
with any hope ?f success against a force
so greatly superior. The chase was con- :
tinned sixty hours, during which the
whole crew remained at their stations.
Ail the officers of the British squadron
applauded the conduct of Captain Hull,
and though mortified at losing so fine a 1
ship, gave him much credit for his skill
and prudence in managing the frigate. 1
On Sunday, the twenty-sixth of July, 1
the Constitution arrived in Boston har
bor. On Tuesday, the twenty-eighth,
Captain Hull came up to town. On his
landing and reaching State street he was
received by his fellow citizens with re
peated huzzas. The captain, in accept
ino> f.ViA mmnlimfinfarv tributes of the
Bostonians, paid a handsome tribute to
the services of Lieutenant Morris (after
ward commodore), and also to the men
comprising the Constitution's crew.
At a time when the wind was very
light the sails of the Shannon were all
furled, and the boats of the squadron
were all put to tpw her directly to wind
ward toward the Constitution; at the
same time Captain Hull was "kedging"
his ship forward faster than the enemy
was able to advanoe by towing. He had
gained a considerable distance before the
enemy, who constantly observed him
with their glasses, perceived the manner
in which he was leaving. They then
" kedged " in their turn, but not with
the same rapiditv, owing probably in
some measure to the precaution observed
by Captain Hull, when his boats came
home, instead of making them fast to
the ship, of hoisting them up at the da
vits. Tliifl maneuver of "kedging" a
Bhip at sea, in twenty-five or thirty
fathoms of water, was an ingenious
and novel experiment. It was first sug
gested, it is understood, by Lieutenant
(afterward commodore) Charles Morris.
The matter of " kedging" is probably
not generally understood by the average
individual, and even to seafaring men
the manner in which it was employed in
the caso of the Constitution was an in
teresting novelty, and a circumstance
which well illustrates the truth of the
old adage, that "necessity is the mother
of invention." When a vessel becomes
becalmed, and circumstances render it
desirable that progress should be made,
even in the absence of a wind, kedging
is resorted to by taking the anchor in a
small boat and carrying it a long dis
tance in the direotion desired, and
throwing it to the bottom, a line or haw
Ber connecting it with the vessel. The ;
anchor once fastened to the bottom is to
some degree almost permanent, and by
hauling in the line on the dock of tho
vessel, the ship is thus moved in the di
rection of the anchor. The anchor is
then taken up and again carried forward,
and the same process repeated, and thus
slow but steady progress is made. Of
course kedging in this manner is not to
be resorted to unless the water is suffi
ciently shoal to allow the anchor to be
easily bottomed, and this was precisely
the misfortune which presented itself in
the caso of the Constitution. The ene
my's ships?half a dozen in number?
although becalmed in a like manner,
were somewhat lighter than the old
frigate, and by towing and rowing some
small progress was made toward over
hauling and capturing the Constitution.
It can be well surmised that the situa
tion on the American vessel was a very
grave one, and unless progress was made
an engagement, and perhaps the capture
of the snip and crew, were imminent.
It was in this emergency that the inven
tive genius and prompt action of Lieu
tenant Morris and his brother officers
and men secured to the American navy
a bloodleBB but important yictory, which
history failed to record.' Three huge
parachutes, which -could be readily
opened and olosed after the fashion of
an umbrella, were immediately rigged
up from some canvas, which was fastened
to a framework of iron, and by an in
genious manipulation the old frigate was
' kedged " along at a rapid rate until a
friendly breeze sprang up, and then she
was bo far in advance of the British ves
sels as to be enabled to distanoe them
in heading for the friendly port of Bos
ton. These parachutes, fully twenty
five feet each in diameter when spread,
were carried forward in small boats, then
spread out and thrown into the water,
being connected with the frigate by
hawsers. The resistance which these
liUVOi UUJJLIlYiUIUCB UliUIUCU 111 1/ilO WttlrOJL
when the crew pulled on the lines was
snoh as to allow the Constitution to
kedge along in a manner so rapid as to
mystify the officers of the British ves
sels which were pursuing, and it is,
therefore, not strange that they spoke
in complimentary terms of the ingenuity
and skill of the commander and officers
of the Constitution.
In view of the fact that the billet head
of the old and renowned frigate is to be
one of the features of the Centennia^i
hibition, why would it not be well that
the anoient curiosity should be display
ed side by side of these noval parachute
contrivances which probably saved the
Constitution from falling into the hands
of the enemy ? That their usefulness
and importance at the time specified is
not exaggerated is ascertained from the
fact, that wnen, years afterward, Mr.
Morris, who was the father of Dr. Wil
liam B. Morris, of Oharlestown, was ad
vanced to the rank of commodore and
was in command of the Oharlestown
navy yard, he gave speoial orders that
that they shonld be carefully preserved.
This order was received And attended to
by Master Sparmaker Edward Harding,
who has been hofting the same place
dnring a period of almost fifty years.
A few years ago there was a call lor the
novel contrivances, and upon their sin
gular history being developed two of
them were sent to the naval academy at
Annapolis, Md., by Captain S. B. Lnce,
and the other is still at the Oharlestown
yard in charge of Mr. Harding. It
seems that there would bo a singular ap
propriateness that the one in Boston
should be forwarded to Philadelphia
with the old frigate's billet head, and
the suggestion is respectfully submitted
to the secretary of the navy.
Deceiving her Heirs.
An old lady in New York claimed she
had been robbed of $10,000, all the
money she had in the world. The court
having some doubts about the matter,
ordered her to be searched. The old
lady protested and asserted in the moit
solemn manner that she had been robbed
of all the money she had in the world,
but finally consented to allow t?o women
to search her. In twenty minutes after
the women announced the discovery of
nine bank books representing the sum
of 812,570 in various banks. Judge
Wandell then said that Mrs. Polhamuf,
having lied to htm most ogrogiously
from beginning to end of this ease, he
was compelled to disbelieve her state
ment of the robbery in every particular,
and to discharge the accused lor want of
evidence. Mrs. Polhamuo tried to ex
plain that when she said she had no more
money than the $10,000 ehe menu b literally
what she had said. It is believed that
sneak thieves did really enter Mrs. Pol
hamus' room?, under the impression
that she kept a large amount of money
there, aud took what they Jound. Ihe
idea thou struck her, it is thought, of
circulating the report that she had been
lobbed of $10,000, so as to deceive her
many heirs, who, she imagines, are ruu
jous for her death. , .
A BUFFALO STAMPEDE, i
i
Passing out between the hills, tUe ,
young fellowB found themselves on a t
nearly level plain. Here, too, was a ?
dense throng of buffaloes, stretching off .
to the undulating horizon. As the two
Bxplorers walked on, a wide lane seemed
to open in the mighty herds before
them. Insensibly, and without any !
burry, the creatures drifted away to the ,
right and left, browsing or staring, but ?
continually moving. Looking back, i
they saw that the buffaloes had closed
np their ranks on the trail which they ?
had just pursued; while before, and on S
either hand, was a wall of animals.
" We are surrounded I" almost whis- ?
pered Arthur, with some alarm. ;
" Nover mind, my boy. We can walk ?
out, just as the children of Iprael did
from the Red sea. Only we have waves 13
of buffaloes, instead of water, to olose *
UaU'm/1 am J amaw V?o o moll ^

on each side. See!"
And, as they kept on, the mass before
them melted away in some mysterious
fashion, always at the same distance
from them.
"See! We move in a vacant space
that travels with us wherever we go,
Arty."
"Yes," said the lad. " It seems just
as if we were a candle in the dark. The
open ground around us is the light we
Bhed; the buffaloes are the darkness out
side."
"A good figure of speech, that, my
laddie. I must remember it. Bat we
are getting out of the wilderness."
They had now come to a sharp rise
of ground, broken by a rocky ledge,
which turned the herds more to the
northward. Ascending this, they were
out of the buffaloes for the time, but
beyond them were thoosand3 more.
Turning soutnward, they struck across
the country for the wagon track, quite
well satisfied with their explorations.
Between two long divides, or ridges,

covered, in which were two little ohil- 6
dren. Two boys?one abont seven and t
the other eleven years old?were playing c
near by, and fonr oxen were grazing by e
a spring. j.
In reply to Mont's surprised question 8
as to how they came off the trail, and j
why they were here alone, they said j
that their father and uncle had come up ]
after buffaloes, and wero out with their r
guns. Their mother was over on the j
bluff?pointing to a little rocky mass f
which rose like an island in the middle fi
of the valley. She had gone to hunt j
for " sarvice berries." They were left c
to mind the cattle and the children. ;
"Pretty c&reless business, I should 8
say," murmured Moat. "Well, young- .
sters," he added, "keep by*the wagon; *
if your cattle stray off, they may get a
carried away by the buffaloes. Mind .
that!" J
They went on down the valley, look- c
ing behind them at the helpless little j
iamiiy aione m 1110 wiiueruet?j.
"A man ought to be licked for leav
ing his young ones here in such a lonely
place," Raid Mont.
Suddenly, over the southern wall of
the valley, like a thunder oloud, rose a
vast and fleeing herd of buffaloes. They
were not only running, they were rush
ing like a mighty flood.
"A stampede! a stampede 1" cried
Moat; and, flying back to the uncon
scious group of children, followed by
Arthur, he said: "Run for your lives,
youngsters! Make for the bluff 1"
Seizing one ef the little ones, and
bidding Arthur take the other, he start
ed the boys ahead for the island bluff,
which was some way down the valley.
There was not a moment to lose. Be
hind them, like a rising tide, flowed the
buffaloes in surges. A oonfused mur
mur filled the air; the ground resound
ed with the hurried beat of countless
hoofs, and the earth seemed to be disap

behind the flying fugitives the angry,
?anic-stricken herd tumbled and tossed,
ts labored breathing sighed lite a
breeze, and the warmth of its pulsations
seemed to stifle the air.
"To the left! to the left!" screamed
Arthur, seeing the bewildered boys,
who fled like deer, making directly for
the steepest part of the bluff. Thus
warned, the lads bounded up the little
island, grasping the underbrush as they
climbed. Hard behind them came
Arty, pale, his features drawn undrigid,
and bearing in his arms a little girl
Mont brought up the rear with a stout
boy on his shoulder, and breathless with
excitement and the laborious run.
Up the steep side they scrambled,
falling and recovering themselves, but
up at last. Secure on a bare rock, they
saw a lieaving tide of wild creatures
pour tumultuously over the edge and
fill the valley. It leaped from ledge to
ledge, tumbled and broke, rallied again
and swept on, black and silent save for
the rumbling thunder of many hoofs
and the panting breath of the innumer
able multitude. On it rolled over every
obstacle. The wagon disappeared in a
twinkling, its white cover going down
in tho black tide like a sinking ship at
sea. Past the islandlike bluff, where a
little group stood spellbound, the herd
swept, the rushing tide sepr rating at
the rocky point, against which it beat
and parted to the right and left. Look
ing down, they saw the stream flow by,
on and up the valley. It was gone, and
the green turf was brown where it had
been. The spring was choked, and the
wagon was trampled in a flat ruin.
Fasoinated by the sight, Mont and
Arthur never took their eyes from it un
til it was over. Then returning to their
young oharges, they# saw a tall, gaunt
woman, witn a jaorror-stncKen iaoe,
gathering the whole group in her arms.
It was the mother.
"I don't know who yon be, young
men, but I thank you from the bottom
(if my heart," she said. " Yes, I thank
yon from the bottom of my heart?and,
oh! I thank God, too!" And she burst
into tears. ,
Axthnr, at loss what else to say, re-. ,
marked : " Your wagon is all smashed." ,
"I don't care?don't care," said the .
woman, hysterically rocking herself to
and fro where she sat with her children *
clasped to her bosom. " So's the '
young ones are safe, the rest may go to
wrack." '
As she spoke, a couple of horsemen
came madly galloping down the valley, '
far in the wake of the flying herd. They J
paused, thunderstruck, at the fragments .
of their wagon trampled in the torn .
soil. Then, seeing the group on the
rock, they hastened on, dismounted, and ,
climbed the little eminence.
"Great powers above, Jemimyl we 1
stampeded the buffaloes !" said the elder 1
of the pair of hunters.

" Yes, and a nice mess you've made
of it." This was all her comment.
" Whar's the cattle, Zeph?" asked
the father of this flock. *.
" Gone off with the buffaloes, I
reckon, dad," was the response of his
6on Zephaniah.
The man looked up and down the val
ley with a bewildered air. His wagon
had been mashed and crushed into the
ground. His cattle were swept out into
space by the resistless flood, and were
nowhere in sight. He found words at
last:
" Well, this is perfeckly rediclus."?

TOE CASE OF SECRETARY BELKJTAP.
'he Story Told by Caleb P. Marsh Abont
the Satlerahlp?The Amount Paid.
The following is the statement mode
>y Caleb P. Marsh before the United
Itates House committee of investigation
elative to the" charges against ex-Beere
ary of War Belknap :
in reply to your question I would
tate that in the summer of 1870 myself
nd wife spent some weeks at Long
Jranch, and on oar return to New York
Irs. Belknap and Mrs. Bowers, by our
nvitation, came for a visit to our house;
Irs. Belknap was ill during thi* visit
ome three or four weeks; I suppose in
? sequence of our kindness to her she
elt under some obligation, for she asked
ae one day in the course of a conversa
ion why I did not apply for a post
radership on the frontier; I asked what
hey were and was told that there were
aany of them, very lucrative offices or
>ositions, in the gift of the secretary of
rar, and that if I wanted one she would
ak the secretary for one for me; upon
ay replying that I thought such offices
lelonged to disabled soldiers, and, he
idea, that I was without political in
luence, she answered that politicians
;ot such places, etc.; I do not remember
aying that if I had a valuable post of
hat kind that I would remember her,
rat I do remember her saying something
ike this: "If lean prevail upon the
ecretary of war to award you a post, you
ausfc be careful to say nothing to him
ibout presents, for a man once offered
tim $10,000 for a traders hip of this kind,
tnd he told him that if "he did not leave
lie omcene wouiu juok mm uuwu buuih
emembering aa I do this story, I pre
ume the antecedent statement to be oor
eot; Mrs. Belknap and Mrs. Bowers re
urned to Washington, and a few weeks
hereafter Mrs. Belknap sent me word to
some over; I did so; she then told me
hat the post tradership at Fort Sill was
racant; that it was a valuable post as she
inderstood, and that she had either
isked for it for me or hadprevtiled upon
he secretary of war to agree to give it
o me; at all events I called upon the
secretary of war, and, aa nearly as I can
emember, made application for this post
>n a regular printed form; the secretary
laid he would appoint me if I could
)ring proper recommendatory letters,
md this, I said, I could do; either Mrs.
Belknap or the secre tary told me that
he present trader at the post, John S.
Svans, was an applicant for reappoint
nent, and that I had better see him, he
>eing in the city, aa it would not be
air to turn him out of office without
ome notice, as he would lose largely on
lis buildings, merchandize, etc., if the
>ffice was taken from him, and that it
fould be proper and just for me to make
ome arrangement with him for their
jurchase if I wished to run the post
ayself; I b~w Evans and found him
farmed at the prospect of losing the
J AAA* T fnof. aairl that. a.
irm of Western post traders, who
ilaimed a good deal of influence with
he secretary of war, had promised to
iave him appointed, but he found, on
coming to Washington, this firm to be
mtirely without influence; Mr. Evans
irst proposed a partnership, which I de
fined; and then a bonus of a certain
>ortion of the profits if I would allow
lim to hold the position and continue
he business; we finally agreed upon
>15,000 per year; Mr. Evans and mvself
rent on to New York together, wnere
he contract was made and executed,
phich is herewith submitted (paper
narked A-): during our trio over, how
>ver, Mr. Evans saw something in the
irmy and Navy Journal which led hi
o think that some of the troops were to
>e removed from the fort, and he had
iffered too large a sum, and before the
sontract was drawn it was reduced by
agreement to $12,000, the same being
aid quarterly in advance.
When the first remittance came to me
-say probably in November, 1870?I
ent one-half thereof to Mrs. Belknap,
lither, I presume, by certificate of de
>osit or bank notes by express; being in
Washington at a funeral some weeks
iter this I had a conversation with Mrs.
Bowers to the following purport, as far
\B I can now remember, but must say
hat just here my memory is eiceeding
y indistinct, and I judge in part, por
laps, from what followed as to the de
ails of the conversation ; I went up
itairs in the nursery with Mrs. Bowers
o see the baby ; I said to her : " This
shild will have money coming to it be
ore a great while;" she said: "Yes;
-he mother gave the child to me and
old me that the money coming from
rou I must take and keep for itI
laid: "All right," and it seems to me I
>aid that perhaps the father ought to be
jonsulted ; I say it seems so, and yet I
;an give no reason for it, for, as far as I
mew, the father knew nothing of any
nonoy transactions oecween me motner
md myself ; I have a faint recollection
>f a remark of Mrs. Bowers that if I
lent the money to the father thit it be
onged to her, and that she wotdd get it
inyway.
I certainly had some understanding
hen or subsequently with her or him,
or when the next payment came due
ind was paid I sent the one-half thereof
o the secretary of war, and have con
oTtKafanfialltr fmm fhaf. /lav fnr
yard to the present time to do the
iame ; about, I should say, a year and a
rnlf or two years after the commence
nent of these payments I reduced the
imount to $6,000 per annum ; the rea
son of this reduction was partly because
)f the combined complaints on the part
)f Mr. Evans and his partner, and part
y, so far as. I now remember, in conse
quence of an article in the newspapers
ibout that time reflecting on the injus
;ioe done to soldiers at this fort, caused
oy exorbitant charges, made, necessary
>n the part of the trader by reason of th
payment of this bonus ; to the best of
ny knowledge and belief the above is a
irue statement of all tho facts in the
jase, and as complete as I can remember
jccurrences of so many years ago.
Question by the chairman?State how
ike payments were made to the secre
tary of war subsequent to tho funeral of
!iis then wife, which yon attended in
Washington in December, 1670, wheth
ar in cash, bv check, draft, certificate of
deposit, bonds, or by express or other
wise. Answer. The money was sent ac
cording to the instructions of the secre
tary of war, sometimes in bank notes by
A.dams' express; I think on one or more
Dccasions by certificates of deposit on
tha National Bank of America in New;
York; sometimes I have paid him jn Now
York in person; except the first pay
ment, in the fall of 1870, and thrf last,
in December, 1872, all were made to
the secretary in the modes I have
3tated, unlo38, perhaps, on one or two
occasions, at his instance, I bought a
government bond with the moneys in
my hands arising from the contract with
Mr. Evans, which I either sent or hand
ed to him.
Question by Mr. Blackburn?Can you
Btato the sum, in the aggregate, received
by you under the contract with Mr. Ev
ans, and what portion thereof you have
paid to the secretary of war, includjpg
the first and last payments, which you
have stated were not paid to him ? An
swer. I have no memorandum whatever
on which to make answer; it is a very
simple calculation; the first payment to
me by Evans was mado in the fall of
1870, at the rate of 812,000 a year; ho
paid at that rate about a year and a half
or two years, and since then at the rate
of 86,000 a vear; it would aggregate
about 840,000, the ono-half of which 11 Ej
have disposed of as above stated. !
