It is as difficult to obtain a clear under? standing of an Indian's view of tbe "Su? preme Being'-' as it is to define our own ideas of Clod.. He lives close to nature, and is im? pressed and awed by her wonders and mysteries; anything which is beyond his comprehension partakes of the supernat urai, and is called medicine by him. -Thus he beholds in tot Bun,- moon, the stars, thunder ami lightning, rain bows, in animals, trees, in the flight of a bird, and even in tbe peculiar wagging of his horses ears or tail, the mysterious exhibi? tion of supreme powers. Everything in nature is of spiritual significance to him ,* his gods are without number, but divided into two distinct classes?the good and.the bad. He acts upon the indications of signs in nature, and if he is successful in bis undertakings, whether in hunt, battlefield, or elsewhere tie good gods.hare befriend? ed'him, but If he meets with reverses and defeat, then tbe bad gods have worked hie injury. Unlike his Christian brother, he does not ponder in resentful wonderment over tbe apparent injustice often inflicted upon him by these unknown powers, bnt bows his head in humble, resignation to the inevitable), add seeks .through/peace offering and bodily suffering, such as fasting and self-mutilation, to propitiate . the unfavorable influence. His method of reasoning is simple and child-like, his logic is undisputable, and his conclusions are entirely satisfactory to himself. When Captain Clarke questioned a Baanack Jnd: an about thunder and lightning,'just, after a neighboring tree had been struck, the latter replied : "The thunder asked the mosquito why he was so full of blood, and where he got it. The mosquiro said ho got it out of the pine trees. He would not tell that he got it out of animate) and so the thunder believed it always, striking and destroy? ing trees. I do not know what the light? ning ia i, I only know that it will kill, and have no way of preventing it. A Baanack. Indian once tried to .escape f h a storm?ran bis pony before it? out' a* be reached camp, and just after he dismounted, the horse was killed." It is, of course, impossible to trabe back Indian religion prior to our advent among them, but it is reasonable to take for granted that they have always wor? shipped a supreme power, and believed in a hereafter?the happy hunting ^rounds^ \% X$ grSaf of this proposition, we will ; mention'; that, although pur missionaries "have* ever endeavored to convince the Indian that there is a hell, a place of eternal torture. nnd Buffering for those who have' led a' bad life, as well as a heaven and ete rnal reward for the right? eous;, Iiis" unsophisticated mind-has as yet ,sternly rejected the idea that Any Indian will ever visit such an abominable region, though, he freely, grants the probability of suchf a^ate for the white man. - ' As a rule, the Indian troubles-himself very little about the subject of a here? after; only the few medicine men?the dreamers?weave strange fabrics out of .their vague and misty ideas, and, these pass as' the current do in of Indian belief. They are not influenced in their actions by .the lash of fear of .future punishment,. ?m| f$p? $Rfuture rewaVtl; Thtfir aeeds are'tnei natural result of the inher? ent good otbacl in them,, shaped.by the social and moral laws which govern their physical pstence. r. ? T$asyj 5a>e; sb fa^asjany faith in future life goes, firm in tbe'conviction that they will all go to the happy hunting .grounds beyond death.-'?' ? ? ?-' -! The Indian Is unable to'separate the soul from the body! with him death is sirr?pjy?bjB stopping of-motion,: the blow lb?n^ar^ ^^ea^ and thegpnd out Some of the tribes deny a hereafter to those who lost their lives by strangulation, or who have been scalped. For the latter reason they^omatnoes abstain from using the knife upon tbe top knot of a fallen enemy, whom th ay either respect, as bravo, ?or whom they desire to claim as a servant ..in-the hereafter.- -~ *j ---.' With his'superstitious nature) the Indian places great significance in dreams, or visions. If they do hot Come .to him in natural and healthy sleep,.he will, resort to artificial means to"'secure them' ?the sweat bath,.solitude, and prolonged fasting, mutilationjieicf J ' . ' Captain' Clarke-tells of a most remark? able dream.which Crazy. Horse, the great Sioux chief, had some ten days before he was killed,-:.? "jJVhile .walking on the Srairie, near his "camp, he came across a ead eagle. He went to his tepee and gloomily sat there for many hours after? wards. Being asked by some of his peo? ple as to what was the matter, be said, "that he had ft ind his own dead body on the prairie near by/ and-a. night or two after this he dreamt that he was on an elevated/ plateau riding a., white, horse. He was surrounded by-his; enemies and big guns (cannons), and he was killed, but not with a bullet. He. had always claimed that he bore a charmed life, and could not be killed by a bullet. In put? ting him in the guard-house he attempted, with his knife, to cut his way to liberty, though- surrounded by about twenty'sol? diers, and was bayoneted in the attempt. A white pony y/as held by one of bis friends just outside of the circle of sol? diers, and some howitzers wore standing a few yards in front of the guard-house." Many Indians declare that they fre? quently' hear and see ghosts, and many afflictions' are attributed to their malign influence. Formerly the Indians believed that the presence of a bad spirit in the water changed the same in firewater, but al? though they recognize the evil arising from its use, they are so fond of whisky and its intoxicating effect that they will exchange robes, ponies, wife and children j [ for its possession. y The Sun, or the God in the sun, seems to be considered the greatest Spirit with < most of them. If an Indian be surround- j I ed by his foes, if dome friend or kin is at the point of death, Be will call, in this time of sore need, upon this greatest and moat'?mysterious force of-natu re for aid, promising to subj act himself to physical buffering and torture, fasting and mutila? tion, if succor is accorded him. He will sometimes promise to kill, as a sacrifice, i his best horse',. . This pledge is religiously kept, but I have been told that frequently the Indian, after escaping fro no danger and misery, will make a very judicious selection in picking;out the best horse from his herd. .One. 'more illustration of the happy way in which the Indian meets the grave questioni.,aa to his:own and the white mpnXfutqrelife. , . 'A methodist clergyman, acompanying a commission, and not only anxious to spread the good seed, but curious, as. well,. to learn from the lips of the wild Indians their views of the hereafter, asked the chief to tell him what were his beliefs in regard to the-life after;death. The chief gave him the usual picture of the pleas? ant fields, white tepees, clear waters, and abundance of game in (he Indian's heav? en; and then in turn asked the minister to describo the white man's heaven, which was done in 'glowing colors. The streets of.gold,', the gates of pearl,. were duly depicted, but not stopping there, ho went on and pictured the flames of hell, and describee! the lot of the transgressors, which would surely be fire and brimstone. Xhe chief stopped him and asked, "if it.Wa?really tr?e tnat all the whites who played cards, swore, drank whisky, lied, ?tole, etc., would surely go to this place." When answered in the affirmative, he observed, with a smile of satisfaction: "Then I won't bo troubled with any of them in the next world; they will all. be burnt up," & Th'c 'minister bail included all those whom tfhe chief -had evor seen. . j?u > ,T - ? Tf you haven't decided where to spend the summer, make up your mind at once not to .spend it in jail. j ? The world may .owe a man a living, but it is always best 'to go out and collect by a little hard work* Facts About Hay. - Now that tbe wheat crop has been cared for, we are ready to turn our atten? tion to haying, says a correspondent of the Farmers' Home Journal. Learned men have'Written volumes on bay mak? ing, and theorists have investigated the subject for years and have written much on it that has* been miscalled science. We shall not go into the theoretical part of the subject in this article, for just now the practical part is of more importance than all the theories in the universe. The proper time to cut grass is when it contains the most sugar and albumen. When properly cured at this time it makes a sweet and palatable food for animals, easily digested and greedily consumed. We have found that we get the best bay from clover when it is a trifle brown, and from timothy when the flowers begin to fall. Very few cut this early, and there are many farmers throughout the country who don't know really what the very best of hay is, as they have never used it. The natural growth of grass is: first, to make the greon stalk; second, to blossom and form seed; third, to ripen the seed and decay. At the first period the grass is very im? mature, at the second it is at its greatest vigor and richness, at the third it is in its decline, and cut at any of these po-. riods the hay partakes of the nature of the grass when cut. We know that some farmers will take issue with us as to the proper time to cut grass, objecting to early cutting for the reason that when tho Seed is not allowed to mature, meadows die out, preferring a poorer variety of hay in order to perpet? uate their meadows. We would always get the best hay possible first, then seed our land and harrow it when necessary. We generally try to begin cutting grass after a rain storm, fallowed by a north? west breeze. It is bad policy to begin work when the weather is unsettled, and there is danger of damaging hay by local showers. Better let grass be a little over-ripe than to be damaged by rain. Cut late in the afternoon) or early in the morning after the sun has dried it. By stopping the machine at 10 o'clock, all the previous evening's and morning's cut? tings can be put into the cock, or, if the mow is tight, It can be hauled in and Btored away. We do not believe in burn? ing up hay in a long exposure, to the hot sun. When it has wilted and is entirely free from dew or dampness it can be put away after curing a very little while Without being damaged. Tou want to save the leaves and blades of grass, as well as the stalk, in order to have the very best of hay and get the best possible yield., This you c?n't do if you allow ybnr hay to cure too long. It is an important item to store hay in the barn as tightly and closely as possi? ble,' and keep it shut up close,- > Hay heats less in -a*tight barn than in an open one. Lime may be sprinkled on hay when mowing away, to good advantage, but never use salt. Salt is bad for hay. It draws dampness instead of expelling it. Horses get too much salt that are fed sa 1 ted hay, and disease is the. result. Stock need Bait, but give it to them some other way. Ransom Cheese. Uncle Billy Stokes, a colored individual from'one of.the back Counties in Missis? sippi, where old-fashioned wagons with I wooden.- axles are still in use and where the primitive "tar bucket" is part of their "running gear)" was in Canton, Miss., a few days ago standing in front of Matt. Miller's store? watching the unloading from drays of newly arrived goods, One dray contained, besides several barrels of groceries, a number of boxes of cheese and a dozen or two boxes of patent axle grease. Uncle Billy's eye rested upon the latter, and he inquired i "Mara Hillea; what yer'ax fer one ob dem little cheezes ?" "Only fifty cents, Billy; do you want lope.?" .was^Mr.jHillerj'b: reply., -.- g ? v. 1 '"Wal, yes, boss; butef I btty.dioheese will yer frbw in de crackersT" ' - "Of Course t will," said Mr. Hiller, as he handed Uncle Billy a box of the axle grease and. then passed bebind his counter and took a handful of crackers from' a box and gave bem 'to the old man. . Uncle Billy then went to the back door of1 the store1 and; 'seating hrmeelf on an empty dry goods-box, proceeded to enjoy his lunch. He had been there about five minutes when Mr. Hill'er concluded he would'see what progress be was making; so, going to tbe door, he saw the old man, with his barlow knife in hand, spreading the grease on a cracker, while his jaws were vigorously working and his mouth I and chin covered with crumbs and grease. "Well, Uncle Billy," said Mr. Hill, "hew do yon like-your lunch?" The old man rested his knife on his his ?right knee, and, drawing a heavy sigh.replied:. . . . '? j ,?.;;."< "Boss, dem ?r crackers are pow'fiil good; but; lor, boss, dis am de ransom est cheese, fo God, I ever tested." What Corsets Have Done. "Take off your.corset 1" - , ? > l inear a howl of dismay, a \,' * "Oh," we can't live without corsets I We should fall to pieces 1" - "I cah'thold myself up an hour without corsets!" "I always have such a tin in my side when I lay aside my corsu!" .My dears, -do -you, see what a severe |.accusation you bring against this article yourselves ? Wearing corsets has bo in feebled your muscles that they are no longer of use to you. If you had never worn them your body, left to the laws of Him who made it, would have needed no support, I know, one woman about 60 years old, tall, stout, well-developed, who has nover worn coisets or heels, and whose flesh is firm and cool, needing no bones to keep it in position except her own. ... I suppose you cannot undo wholly what tho years of idle, foolish fortune have done for you, but you can have a better future if you will begin now to live like rational beings. Go and buy some of those wellmade, new-fashioned waists, with buttons to hold up your heavy, draggy skirts; buy them big enough so that you can draw the longest breath your squeezed and disabled lungs will allow after the waist is burst; so loose that you can lift your arm above your head easily; if your Bide or your back aches lie down; rub your flabby flesh every day with a rough cloth wrung out in salt and water; draw your breath in as far as you can, and breathe it out as slowly as you can every time the clock strikes.?Rose Terry Cooke. How General Lee Courted Death. Mr. Reagan gives me a new fact in General Lee's history which is not gen? erally -known in the North. He said that toward the close of the downfall of the Confederate government there was a very general impression among the high offi? cials of the Confederacy that General Lee intended to lose his lifo on the field of battle. The impression was shared by the officers of Lee's army. General Lee never lost an opportunity of placing himself in a position of danger. General Reagan says that he drove out from Richmond to see Lee upon the day the principal battle of Cold Harber was fought. As he came up near where he could Bee Lee's headquarters he saw the shells bursting continually around his tent and. ploughing, up the ground .in front of him. Some of the officers asked Mr. Reagan to try and persuade General Lee to move his headquarters behind a piece of timber near by. All felt that he was exposing his life'too much. Mr. Reagan said to Gen. Lee: "I do not prcsumo to advise any General in the midst of a battle, btit are you not expos? ing yourself to much ? Ought you not to go back nearer your reserve ?" General Lee said ho had no reserve. He had only one line of men. Ho did uot daro to shorton his line for fear it would bo turn? ed, and did not dare to thin it for fear it would be broken. General Lee evidently sought death many times during the clos? ing days of tho war.- That was tho view of tho Southern loaders thon, and is still believed by many. Keep carefully out of a quarrelsome person's way, and still more carefully out of hiB ways. Louisiana Sugar Plantations, The sugar planter requires for his cane plantation a warm, moist climate, with intervals of hot, dry weather, with little danger from frost; a soil not too rich, containing lime and magnesia, and of good drainage; and the benefit of sea breezes, salt in the air being better for him than salt in the soil. The sugar plantations of Louisiana find these con? ditions in the alluvial soil of the lower Mississippi Valley. In laying out an estate, drainage must be carefully provid? ed for, and in some countries irrigation is much used. From one to four cuttings are set out together in holes about two feet apart. As the canes grow they must be well weeded and "thrashed," i. e.t all dry, dead leaves removed. They begin to grow in Louisiana in February, and are harvested from October to January. After the first cutting of the new plants the stole or stoole left sends up another growth of cane, called "ratoons," which with each cutting grow smaller in size and closer in joints, and are said to yield sweeter juice and finer sugar. The one planting will last many years, but Louis? iana sugar-growers reckon only on three years' product, planting a third of the sugar ground anew each year. Eats, white ante, lice, "borers," and some min? ute animals producing "rust" and "must," fight against the growing plaht, as also do wind and frost. When cutting time comes, the Cane is cut with a hatchet close to the stole, the top is chopped off, and the leaves stripped; the canes are then bundled up and carried to the mill, often, on the large plantations, on narrow donkey railways, or placed in windrows, on the field, so that the juice may not ferment until they Can be han? dled. Louisiana plantations, when the crop is in full vigor^ are indeed a lovely sight, with their broad expanse of leafy cane. Some of them are of great extent, the Magnolia Plantation, now owned by ex Governor Warmouth, which claims to be one of the banner plantations of the State, having 492 acres in cane last year. In 1883-4 over 173,400 acres of cane were harvested in the State, the total crop of 128,000 tons of sugar, being one of the best made in the State ; but in 1884-5 floods spoiled so much of the cfop that only 118,650 acres were harvested, produc? ing. 94,000 tons of sugar. The crop of 1885-6 is estimated at 110,000 tons-. About 20,000 freedmen are kept busy in the sugar fields and mills.. The planta? tions are expected to yield from twenty to twenty-five tons of cane per acre, though the average of (he State In the short crop of 1884-5 was but seventeen tons. A good crop should produce 3,000,000 tons of cane, and be worth to the State from ?12,500,000 up. To this Texas and the five other States which dabble in cane growing add little over ten per cent.. Labor and Machinery. The mechanical industries of the United States are carried on by steam and water-power, representing in round numbers 3,500,000 horse-power, each horse-power equaling the muscular labor of six men ; that is to say, if men were employed to furnish the power to carry on the industries of this country it would require 21,000,000 menj and 21,000,000 men represent a population, according to the census of 1880, of 100,000,000. The industries are now carried on by 400,000 persons in round numbers, representing a population 20,000,000 only. To do the work, then, accomplished by power machinery in our mechanical industries and upon our railroads, would require men representing a population of 172, 500,000 in addition to the present popu lation of the country of 55,000,0000, or a total population, with hand processes and with horse-power, of 227,500,000, which population would be obliged to subsist on present means. In an econom? ic view.the cost to the country would .be enormous. The present cost of operating the railroads of the country with steam power Is in round numbers $500,000,000 per annum, but lo carry on the same amount of work with men and horses would cost the country $11,308,500,000. These illustrations, of course, show the extreme straits to which a country would be brought if it undertook to perform its work in the old wayi ? How Horses are Sometimes Trained. ' "As for Rarey, the most of his business was trickery done by locusting and load? ing. Horses are awfully fond of locusts and carrots, and they will do almost any? thing for them ; hut loading is the great trick." "What is loading?" "Loading is slipping about an ounce weight of lead down the ears of the horse. You slip a load, to which a small piece - of string is attached, down the horse's ears, and no matter how vicious the beast may be, it becomes dazed and stupid when the load plugs its ears. The horse does not understand what has hap? pened to the world when he cannot hear well, and he becomes as docile as you could wish. When a horse is loaded you can yoke him or do anything you wish him and he will not object. It is a thou? sand times more merciful and far more effective than the horrible plan of put-> ting a twitch upon the ear or upon the nostril, a practice still .indulged iu by some horse coupers. Leaden weights are made for the purpose. Any small weight will do, but it is better to have one made to fit."?Intervieio with a Trainer, Strength and Diet. The Roman soldiers, who built such wonderfui roads and carried a weight of armor that would crush the average farm baud, livnd on coarse brown bread and sour wine. They wore temperate in diet, regular and constant in exercise. The Spanish peasa.it works every day and dances half the night, yet eats only his black bread, onion and watermelon. The Smyrna porter eats only a little fruit and some olives. He eats no beef, pork or mutton, yet he walks off with his load of 800 pounds. The coolie, fed on rice, is more active and can endure more than the negro fed on fat meat. The heavy work of the world is not done by men who eat the greatest quantity. The fast? est or longest winded horse is not the biggest eater. Moderation in diet seems to be tbe prerequisite for endurance. ? A number of Philadelphia ladies have formed an association to do all kinds of mending for bachelors. They will find it a difficult matter to mend the bachelors' habits. ? The slander of some people is as good a recommendation as the praise cf others. ? Exercise caution iu laying your plans, but be bold in carrying them out. ? "Mamma, why is papa bald ?" "I am his fourth wife, darling." "MOTHER'S FRIEND" Not only shortens the time of la? bor and lessens the intensity of pain, but it greatly diminishes the danger to life of both mother and child and leaves the mother in n condition highly favorable to spee? dy recovery, and far less liable to Flooding, Convulsions, and other alarming symptoms incident to slow or painful labor. Its wonder? ful efficacy in this respect entitles it to be called "Mother's Friend" and to be ranked as one of the liie saving remedies of the nineteenth century. From the nature of the case, it will of course be understood that we cannot publish certificates con? cerning this remedy without woun? ding the delicacy of the writers.

The Glaring Gali Exhibited by Non Professional Frauds, The country is flooded with bogus med? icine men, and in a few cases a heavy capital is all they have to sustain their prestige. Numerous cleverly concocted certificates are forced upon the unsus? pecting, purporting to have "snatched from the grave" some poor victim of blood poison or other disease, when to our knowledge the identical persons lay groaning in agony while the public were reading of their remarkable recovery. Another serious offense is the publica? tion of erroneous statements concerning various drugs, such as are daily pre? scribed by our best physicians, declaring them to be deadly poisons. Iodide of potash, which seems to receive their greatest condemnation, when prescribed by physicians and in the proper combina? tion with certain compounds, is not only harmless, but forms one of the most pow? erful antagonists to blood poison known to the medical world. B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) contains iodide of potash. This company hold hundreds of genuine certificates from persons who have been cured of various diseases arising from an impure state of the blood by the use of B. B. B. The question now is, if iodide of potash is such a terrible enemy to health, why is it that the Blood Balm Co. have made within two years the most gigantic sales and cures ever before made on American soil?
