1 Farm, Garden and Household. Gathering and Salting Bntter. In the process of churning, separation commences by the formation of particles of butter into small and neatly uniform lumps. In the barrel churn this uniformity continues, when at the right temperature, until the lumps have reached a half pound or more in weight. When about the size of a butternut, the milk should be drawn and a pail of pure cold water added to a batch of sixty -or seventy pounds in weight. Ice water must be used in warm weather. The churn should then be revolved only enough to thoroughly rinse the mass. More than this would cause the formation of too large lumps to permit the salt to be regally diffused through it. The water should then be withdrawn, - - 3 _ l~-i. 1 SUU tt BUUlCWUttb amuiuib auucuf thp churn again revolved in the same manner, and the water again -withdrawn* This second water should present but a very slightly milky appearance, and should all be removed. The churn and its contents should then be placed upon' the scales and weighed, and by subtracting the known weight of the churn the number of pounds of butter will be obtained. Pure, well-sifted Ashton, or other salt should then be added in the proportion of one ounce of salt to each pound of butter, and the churn again revolved until the mass is thoroughly mixed. It can thus be quickly accomplished without exposure to the warm air of the room. The amount to be used, however, should be determined by circumstances. If designed for the general market, or to be stored, the amount specified should be used. If for & spenial market and for immediate use. the tastes of the consumers should be consulted. Sulphur for Gap?t. Wheu I was boy, some 20years ago, my mother used to raise 800 to > 00 chickens each season, and 75 to 100 turkeys. Her manner of treatment was this: In those days cooking-stoves were not generally used, especially in the South, where" Sambo and Sally were the help; so we had big ovens and big panes of light bread. In said big ovens was also the light, pure, puffy biscuit baked. Well, each morning when the biscuit for breakfast were taken out, and the oven yet hot, said Sally made up a pone of corn meal (unsifted) bread, with a heaping tablespoonfui of pulverized sulphur to the quart of meal, mixed with water and nothing elBe, and this was fed to the chickens and turkeys morning and evening, and I never knew one dozen chickens lost with gapes, as it is known that sulphur is death to Earasitical worms. The young turkeys ad a pill of ground black pepper given each morning when they appearsd drooping, until again lively. These pills are easily made by adding enough flour to cause adhesion. l>lnie In the Orchard. Where apple orchards are kept per manently in grass, a top dressing of lime, of eighty bushels to the acre, every five years, will prove beneficial. As to whitewashing the trunka of trees, we give the preparation for. that purpose prescribed by W. Sauuoers, of the Government Gardens at Washington. This wash is made as follows: Put half a bushel of lithe and four pounds of powdered sulphur in a tight barrel, slacking the lime with hot water, the top of the barrel being covered with a cloth; this reduced to the consistency of ordinary whitewash, and at the time of application half an ounce of carbolic acid is added to every gallon of the liquid. Saunders says: "I generally apply in the spring before the leaivea make their appearance, but I am convinced that it would be more effective if applied later; but then it is difficult to do so when the tree is in foilage. Saunders applies the wash not only to the stem of the tree but to some extent to the main branches. I'llng Pari* Green to Dettroy Potato Beetle*. In a report to the Legislature of Ohio, Mr. D. C. Richmond says: There are but I have found the following the moat practical: Place a hogshead or ether water-tight vessel, having a good faucet, on a wagon, fill the vessel with water, and take it into the potato field. Put a heaped tablcspoonfnl of pure Paris green in a common wooden pail, then fill the pail with water, and stir until all the green is taken up by the water. If the green is not pure, then from one and a half to two heaped spoonfuls will i? ??:?A ^11 UO A 1UUC CAJJCIICUtO niil teach any person when the mixture is just right. An old broom is saturated, and then sprinkled over the vines on which the larvie or beetles are located. It is beBt to perform this operation in bright sunshine?the Paris green will coat the leaves, and as they are eaten it is certain death to the larvte or mature bugs. How to Make Root Beer. A good root beer is a desirable thing in the hot days of summer, not only for slaking thirst, but also because of its utility as a tonic. This is the way to make the real old-fashioned brew: Take spruce boughs, black birch bark, sarsaparilla, wiutergreen leaves, sassafras, yellow dock and dandelion roots ; boil altogether in a large kettle, with a handful of hops and two quarts of wheat bran, and two quarts of molasses. When boiled enough?two hours or so ?strain through a sieve, cool, and add a pint of yeast. If not very sweet to the taste, add more molasses. Let it work over night and bottle. Secure the corks tightly and it will foam well. The same can be made in larger quantities, and put into a fifteen gallon cask, and worked from the bung hole for a few days, but it will not foam so well as if bottled. Eyesight of Animals. Horses and cattle have excellent eye Bight, even to a very advanced age. Dogs in a wild state preserve their vision unimpaired to the extreme period of their life limitation, while domesticated dogs see very imperfectly in the oourse of ten years, if they live so long. The reason seems to be owing to looking at fires in the house, exposed to candle or gas lights, and being about dwellings where the sphere of vision is limited by the intervention of fences, edifices, etc. A free range always in open air also tends to the preservation of the vision of wild animals and birds. Another circumstance contributes to the preservation of the vision in wild animals. Perpetual vigilance contributes to a free circulation in the optic apparatus and uniform convexity of the cornea. Were it not for white writing paper, artificial light, stimulating drinks which quicken the circulation to the engorgement of minute vessels in the interior of the organs, and passing much of our time in the midst of reflecting lights from surrounding objects, our eyes would be about as good at threescore and ten as in the early days of childhood. Long Polar Nights. Tkc Arctic Reflom-'Eirret of Dtrlutei i*pM n?a and Dogs.' The doubtful fate of the Polaris re calls some interesting reminiscences u the "two Arctic voyages of d? Kane, a commander of the Grinnell expedition sent out to find Sir John Franklin. Aj equal heroism no* will bring back th< voyagers for whose return such anxiet; will be felt four or five months hence if not sooner. In the second voyagi Dr. Kane and his party encountera cold never before endured, the ther mometer indicating sometimes from 61 I to 75 degrees below zero, with hunger thirst and disease added. More thai two months of each year thev existed ii | total darkness?then came the first ink I lings of twilight. For 124 days the sui was below the horizon, and j,40 posset before his rays reached the rock] shadowings of the brig. With the in creasing darkness came increasing dis ease. Animal life is described as lan guishing, not for want of sufficient ex ercise, for their whole life was one con tinuous round of exertion when diseas< did not prevent?not for want of pun and unadulterated air, but for life-giv ing influences of the sun. Remarki scattered through the pages of both o: Dr. Kane's journals indicate that th< cunt inued darkness influenced the physi ological state of the system, and gavt rise to the various diseases suffered bj himself and companions. In his narra tive of the first Grinnell Expedition h< notices the peculiar paleness which wai produced by the perpetual night. Un der date of December 21st, the day pre ceding their "solstical day of darkness,' he writes, after noticing the bloodies! appearance of himself and companions "In truth, we were all of us at thii time undergoing changes unconscious ly. The hazy obscurity of the nighti we had gone through made them darke: than the corresponding nights of Parry The complexions of my comrades am my own, too, were toned down to i peculiar waxy paleness. Our eyes weri more recessed, and strangely clear Complaints of shortness of breath be came general; our appetite was almos ludicrously changed, * * * * anc our inclination for food was atbestver^ slight. More than this, our complet* solitude, combined with the permanenl darkness, began to effect our morale.' Again, January 22d?"I long for day The anomalous host of evils that hang about this vegetation in darkness an showing themselves in all their forms My scurvy patients, those I mean or the sick list, with all the care it is pos sible to give them, are perhaps nc worse ; but pains in the joints, rheuma tism, coughs, loss of appetite, and gen eral debility, extend even to the whole company. * * * We are a ghastly set of pale faces, and none paler thai myself." In his " Arctic Expedition " he enu merated other signs of disease, and re fers to its influence on the brain and tc an epileptic tendency which was observed in some instances. Even the dogs, which he had taken to participate ir his explorations, were particularly affected by it. " The influence," says he, "of this long intense darkness wae most depressing. Even our dogs, although the greater part of them were natives of the Arctic Circle, were unable to withstand it?most of them died from an anomalous form of disease, t< which I am satisfied the absence oi light contributed as much (? the extreme cold. * * * I may recur t< the influence which the long wintei night exerted on the health of these much-valued animals. The subject hae some interesting bearings^but I contenl 1# * 1.1 ,mm.L iX myseil iur tut; pieoeiii/ mm tittuouiiuiu^ a passage from my journal. * * * * To-day I give up the last hope of saving them (the dogs). Their disease is at clearly mortal as in the case of anj human being. The more material functions of the poor brutes go on withoul interruption ; they eat voraciously, retain their strength, and sleep well. Bui all tha indications beyond tliis go tc prove that the original epilepsy which was the first indication of brain disease among them has been followed by 8 true lunacy. They bark prodigious!} at nothing, and walk in straight and curved lines with anxious and unwearying perseverance. They fawn upon yon without seeming to appreciate the notice you give them in return, pushing their heads against your person 01 oscillating with a strange pantomime oi fear. Sometimes they remain for hours in moody silence, and then start ofl howling as if pursued, and run up and down for hours. * * * Generally they perish with symptoms resembling locked jaw, in less than thirty-six hours sifter the attack." With all this untold amount of bodilj and mental suffering, and desolatior and disease, endured by these ice-bound voyagers, in this dark and cheerless region, it is not singular that they should hail, with exceeding great joy, the approach of light. Says Dr. Kane, "Tlit day is beginning to glow with the approaching sun. The sun, at noon, has air almost orange tinge. In ten days his direct rays will reach our hill-tops, aud iii a week after lie will be dispensing his blessed medicine amoug our sufferers. The coming sun will open appliances of moral help to the sick, and give energy to the hygienic resorts which I am arranging at the moment. * * * For the last ten days we have been watching the growing warmth ol the landscape, as it emerged from buried shadows through all the stages of distinctness of an India-ink washing, step by step, into the sharp, bold definition of a desolate harbor scene. We have marked every dash of color, which the Great Painter, in His benevolence, vouchsafed us; and now empurpled hues?clear, unmistakable?the spreading lake, the flickering yellow peering at all these poor wretches?everything seemed superlative lustre and unspeakable glory. "I saw him (the sun) once more," says he, "and upon a projecting crag nestled in the sunshine. It was like bathing iu perfumed water." Local Option In Sew lorK. Gov. Dix, of New York, vetoed the Local Option Prohibition bill passed by the Legislature. The ground of his objections is the including of malt liquors in the list of beverages which may or may not be sold. He thinks that no municipality should have the privilege of voting on the question oi licensing whiskey-shops, because the bill, as passed bvlhe Legislature, shuts up the voter to but one choice on all liquors, including ale and beer. The Assembly refused te pass the bill ovei the Governor's veto. The leading papers of the United States are one after another dropping the old folio form and imitating the New York papers in adopting the auar to.

The following proclamation was issued " by the President of the United States: 1 Br the President op the United s States, a Pboclahalion. f Whereas, Under the pretence that j Wm. P. Kellogg, the present Executive of Louisiana, and the officers associated 0 with him in the State Administration 7 were not duly elected, certain turbulent , and disorderly persons have combined B together with force and arms to resist , the law and constituted authorities of said State, and ,, " Whereas, It has been duly certified by the proper local authorities and > judicially determined by the Inferior 1 and Supreme Courts of said State that 1 said officers are entitled to hold their offices respectively and execute andi j discharge the functions thereof, and Whereas, Congress at its. late ses' sion, upon a due consideration of the subject, tacitly recognized the said Executive and his associates then, as now, in office, by refusing to take any action with respect thereto ; and [ Whereas, It isprovided by the Con3 stitution of the United States, that the 3 United States shall protect every State in this Union on application of the \ Legislature, or of the Executive when the Legislature cannot be convened, 3 against domestic violence; and [ Whereas, It is provided in the laws 3 of the United States that in all cases of ' insurrection in any state or 01 onsiruc* tion of the laws thereof, it shall be law3 ful for the President of the United 3 States, on application of the Leglisla" ture of such State or of the Executive * when the Legislature cannot be convened, to call forth the militia of any 8 other State or States, or to employ such : part of the land and naval forces as shall 8 be judged necessary for the purpose * of suppressing such insurrection or 8 causing the laws to be duly executed ; r an(* , .. ; 117iereas, The Legislature of said 1 State is not now in session and cannot 1 be convened in time to meet the present 3 emergency, and the Executive of said * State, under section 4 of article 4 of the ' Constitution of the United States and [ the laws passed in pursuance thereof, 1 has therefore made application to me for r such part of the military force of the 3 United States as may be necessary and \ adequate to protect said State and the citizens thereof against domestic vio' lenoe, and to enforce the execution of ^ the laws ; and 3 Whereas, It is required that when' ever it may be necessary in the judg1 ment of the President to use the military " force for the purpose aforesaid, he shall 3 forthwith, by proclamation, command * such insurgents to disperse and retire ' peaceably to their respective homes 3 within a limited time ; now, r Therefore, I, Ulysses S.

Bancroft Davis, Acting Secre[ tary of State. ; Rain-Fall in the United States. r The extensive work on the rain-fall in i the United States, lately published by T the Smithsonian Institution, will be in' valuable to engineers and others to ' whom are referred the great questions s of improving the navigation of the riv* ers of tbis country. By means of such 1 tables as are given in this volume a few t minutes' computation enables one to r determine the area of country that I must be drained in order to secure a ' water supply sufficient for any specified 1 purpose. The engineers of Europe " have long been sensible of the great ! practical value of works of this nature, ' and we have before us a chart of the [ rain-fall of Switzerland, showing, by 1 carefully drawn isohyetalB, the minutest r detail of the annual precipitation (in1 eluding the melted snow of winter). ' The construction of this chart, which is ' probably preliminary to a far more elab1 orate exhibit, is based on the returns during the six years 1864-1869, from the ninety-seven stations of the Switz1 erland hydrometric commission of the ^ " Naturforschenden " Society. A comSarison of the data for some of the wiss lakes with those for the great " lakes of America may prove of interest. ! Thus we have the annual rain-fall for Lake Geneva, 39.4 inches ; for Lake 1 Neuchatel, 37.4 ; for Lake Zurich, 46.2; 1 for the Boden-See, 43.3 inches. On the , 1, tvnm tV>a Smith.

The ratio of rain-fall to evaporation, ; and the resulting volume of water flow| ing into the rivers, are among the moBt [ interesting of the questions that come before hydraulic engineers. Mr. Ben1 teli, the author of the Switzerland rain 1 chart, lias studied theBubject, and finds 1 that in the area drained by the Aar only 1 eighteen per cent, of the rain-fall is lost by evaporation; the remainder flows into the river past the city of Aarau. The neighborhood of the Grimsel.and of Mount St. Bernard, is the region of the heaviest rain and snow fall in all Europe, the annual fall being measured as 98.4 inches. The Smithsonian rain charts give 80 inches for the extreme northwest coast of Washington Terri1 tory, and 60 inches for Southern Florida, as the points of heaviest rain-fall within the United States. Wealth of Dairying Districts. The wealth of some of our dairying districts is enormous. Herkimer, New 1 York, is said to ship annually over 17,000,090 pounds of cheese, and 300,000 1 pounds of butter, worth $4,500,000. ! Little Falls, N. Y., perhaps as much. , St. Albans, Vermont, ships 1,000,000 i pounds of cheese, 2,750,000 pounds of 1 butter, worth in the market $1,250,000. i The village of Wellington, Ohio, shipped 4,000,000 pounds of cheese in 18G9, worth $500,000. The products of the dairy are sold for cash, and hence the [ returns are quick. This industry enj ables the manufacturer to reduce a large 5 bulk of food into snmll compass, - through the two processes of feeding - cows and manufacturing tfce productions. Who Own the Hew York Daily Hews\t~ r papers, f / Most' of the leading ncwpapers printed in English in the metropolis "are owned by joint stock companies. The exceptions are the Herald, the exclusive property of James Gordon Bennett; the World, which Manton Marble has had no partner in for several years; and the Evening Express, whose proprietors are Erastus Brooks and James Wilton Brooks, son of the late James Brooks. The Times has at present, it is said, but four stockholders?E. B. Morgan, George Jones, Mrs. Taylor, widow of James Taylor, and Andrew V. Stont, President of the Shoe and Leather Bank. -f The Tribune stockholders, notwithstanding the reports to the contrary, , have not materially changed since the death of Horace Greeley, the resignation of Samuel Sinclair, the publisher, and the purchase of fifty-one Bhares by William Orton, of the Western Union Telegraph, and his reselling to the old dynasty all his shares but one. The stockholders are understood to be as follows: "Whitelaw Reid, 51 shares; Dr. J. C. Ayer, 14; Horace Greeley's estate, tfc Bayard Taylor, 4; H. Parsons Farnham, 8; Silas Cheney (Mr. Greeley's brother-in-law), 3; Mra. S. T. Clark (widow of S. T. Clark, deceased, who was the former financial editor), 2; E. H. Jenny, 2; Oliver Johnson, 1; Solon Robinson, 1; Theodore Tilton, 1; Thomas N. Rooker, 1; George Ripley, 1; John F. Cleveland, 1; John Hay, 1; Pairick O'Rouke, 1; Philip A. Fitzpatrick, 1; Cornelius A. Ruukle. l; Mrs. Albert D. Richardson, 1; William Orton, 1; and Charles E. Wilbour, 1? making up the 100 shares. The Ann is mainly owned by Charles A Dana, Marshall O. Roberts, William Hitchcock, and Isaac H. England, though there are a number of small stockholders. The Journal of Commerce has not more than three or four stockholders, the principal of whom is David M. Stone, occupying the position of editorin-chief. The Evening Poet is owned by William Cullen Bryant, Ieaac Henderson, and Parke Godwin. Mr. Henderson has by far the largest interest, but by mutual consent, the responsible editoral control during his life-time is vested in Mr. Bryant, with his son-in-law, Mr. Godwin, as executive chief. The Commercial Advertiser is a joint stock concern. The capital stock is $72,000, in shares of $1,000 each, held by Hugh J. Hastings, Henry Smith, ThurlowWeed,Thomas|Murphy,Thomas E. Stewart, Jenkins Van Schaick, and Mrs. A. Maverick. The first named owns just sufficient to constitute a majority, and thus secures control of the paper and the power to hoist his name at the head of the columns. No dividend was declared last year, it is said, the manager preferring to surprise his fellow-stockholders with a large sum towards a building fund. James Johnston, formerly assistant publisher of the Evening Post, is the principal owner of the Evening Mail, and, being in ill health, is represented by his brother Robert, who, being Scotch, partakes of the characteristics of the race for thrift. Cyrus W. Field was an owner. Of late, its editor, J. M. Bundy has, it is understood, obtained a handsome interest. The Telegram, the evening edition of tne Jteraia, is, 01 course, ownea uy Bennett, and the News is the property of Ben Wood. The War in Anhantee. There are hopes of a favorable termination of the war in Ashantee, the scene of the action of which is about twentysix miles from the coast, whither all able-bodied males in Cape Coast Castle have now been called. These with the Fantee tribes of the protectorate will muster about 50,000 men. The Ashantees number about 12,000, and the forces of the Drotectorate form a crescent in front of them. The Ashantees are short of ammunition, but being very bravo will probably fight as long as there is any hope for them. The cause of the war was as follows : Elminah and its territories (about six miles from Cape Coast Castle) were lately ceded to the English by the Dutch. Up to the time of the ceding the Dutch Government had paid a yearly present of 8400 to the King of Ashantee, and, besides, gave him $40 for every man he supplied to them for the native army recruited for service in their other colonies. These men were all captives taken in battle by the king. He would have slaughtered them had not the Dutch market been open to him. When England became { possessed of Elminah the diplomatists [ set aside these " vested rights " of the King of Ashantee, and instead of sending word to him before the transfer took place and offering to compromise, the chief administrator, Mr. Pope Hcnnessy, in spite of the counsels of experienced men, took no notice of the claims of the king. This was both a slight and an injustice and festered in his mind, and some time afterwards when Mr. Hennessy sent a messenger to the king, asking him to release certain missionaries and offering $5,000 if they should be sent to Cape Coast Castle, I the messenger was made prisoner and the king's answer was the descent of 15,000 savages on the protectorate, whereby great loss of life and property was occasioned. The Sun's Heat, An interesting computation has been I made of the amount of force imparted to the earth by the sun's heat. According to the best investigations that have been made, there is received in one minute enough heat to raise the temperature of five and a half cubic miles of water one degree Centigrade. If, now, we compare this with the work done by a given amount of heat, as \ - - A ! -*1 ill 1 . utilized in a Bteam engine, it win ue found that the heat Bent to the earth in the sun's rays during the space of one minute is able to do as much work as would be done by two thousand steamengines of one hundred horse-power each, working continuously for the space of four thousand years. What becomes of this inconceivably great amount of power is worthy of consideration; and we begin to realize the nature of the problems of the future scientists when we reflect that by far the larger part of this heat force expends itself upon the earth in actual work, only a small portion of it being radiated into space. Of course the result accomplished, such as the maintenance of the temperature of the earth, ocean, and atmosphere, the stimulating of animal and vegetable life, etc., etc., must be the equivalent of the power retained by our globe. The United States raises $40,000,(XX worth of silk per annnm. To Catch a Canary. ^ At thin season oI the feat, when it ? behooves us to scrub and fe-gravel our cj bird-cages;-it's more than likely that ti your canary will get out. In such a case prompt and decisive action is required. -It is useless for Hl the whole family to collect and shout at jj the canary and make desperate attempts to waft pocket-handkei chiefs uflus him. ( Life is too short to be wasted in this : H1 way. p And maddened to clap hats s< over him generally amount to very lit- ^ tie, especially when he is up a tree. &i And just here we may remark, that there are few methods of taking exercise that may be relied upon to hold r< out like that of following a loose canary f around a village, reaching out at arm's * length toward him a good-sized birdcage, and endeavoring by a series of d monotonous and irrelevent chirps to ? make him believe he wants to go in. p Sugar and cuttle-fish bone, as engines * of seduction, are not to be depended ^ upon. The average coaxation into o cages by sugar of the ordinary canary h of North America is in the proportion 0 of a wheelbarrowful of the one to a feather of the other. * t] We will also state in this connection 8 that a man with new shoes on, and a it big cage in one hand, can furnish an D interesting spectacle to over forty bystanders by simplv climbing a tree to offer wiry blandishments to an enfran- : t( chised canary. The real way to catch a loose canary, 2 I and the only way which can be warrant ed for a term of years, is to collect all your friends and family and post them around the tree or fence where the canary is at bay. Let them all furnish 1 themselves with plenty of bits of kind- p ling wood, sods of grass, lumps of dirt, ? hunks of brick, curry-combs, Bootjacks, p porter-bottles, and other handy missiles, b and let them fire away boldly at the canary. If the bird cowardly turns tail;6 and flies off, let everybody follow and q slam-bang at him with their utmost vigor. It will be hard to confine this 11 entertainment to your immediate circle, t No boy whose heart is in the right 1 place and who has any legs will refrain 0 from the pursuit, and there are men t who would leave a dentist's chair to a mingle in the fray. There are cases, too, where a funeral would hang by a thread, as it were, in the vicinity of a1 canary-hunt. Even from the windows j1 of upper rooms, where sickness or dis-1? habille may detain unfortunate en- >1 thusiasts, there will come, ever and !1 anon, a frantic wash-bowl or a whizzing i J lamp-chimney to testify the university t of the public interest. Of course, in ? this rapid free distribution of fire-wood and paving material, it will not be long i before several of your relations will 1 wish they had brought a tin umbrella 1 along. But considerations of mere per- n aonal comfort must not be allowed to interfere. If you keep this up long enough, and you all fire pretty straight, " you 11 oe sure to get jour cauary. juiu tbeu you cau have him stuffed. Beau- * tiful glass eyes can be had for twenty cents a pair; but you had better buy * your glass eyes by the dozen, for of 1 course you'll soon be getting another * canary, so as not to waste the cage. Civilized Indians. The Indian Commissioners state that nearly five-sixths of the 300,000 Indians I of the United States and Territories are civilized or partially civilized. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs divides j them as follows: Civilized, 97,000; semi-civilized, 125,000; wholly bar-1 * barous, 78,000. Of the civilized In- j dians the Cherokees are the most ad- 1 vanced. They number 15,000, and have a reservation in the Indian Tsrritoiy of i four million acres. "They have their 1 j own written language, their national < constitution and laws, their churches, j schools, and academies, their' judges ] and courts. Their dwellings consist i of 500 frame and 3,500 log houses. Dur- j ing the year 1872 tney raised 3,000,000 : bushels of corn, besides large quantities of wheat, oats, and potatoes, their aggregate crops being greater than those of New Mexico and Utah com- ( bined. Their stock consists of 16,000 horses, 75,000 neat cattle, 160,000 hogs, and 9,000 sheep. The CherokeeB have sixty schools in operation, with an ag- j negate attendance of 2,133 scholars. ] Three of these Bchools are maintained ; for the instruction of their former negro ] slaves." There are in the Indian Ter- < | ritory from 40,000 to 45.000 Indians in j the same general condition as the j Cherokees. PAIN ! PAIN! I PAIN I!! J , WHERE IS THY RELIEVER?
