From various communications to the
press it is very evident that Commis-
•loner Colmau is very much discon
tented with the management of the
Department of Agriculture by his
predeeeaaor, and there certainly appears
to be considerable cause for this dis
content. The appropriation for seeds
amounted to $1(X),000, and of tills lib
eral turn only 932 remained in the
treasury on May 1. The head of the
division had made a detailed estimate
of an expenditure of <70,000 for seeds,
which would leave •30,(100 to pay for
packing aud distributing them, but -6
anxious were the old authorities to
expend all the money, that they laid
out 982,000 tor seeds, so that now
there are several kinds on band in large
X uantitlcs, but not a cent can be found
>r their distribution. No system—
certainly no honestly economical sys
tem—waa followed in purchasing seeds.
For example, 1,700 bushels of sorghum
seed were bought in this city at prices
ranging from $2.35 to 12.95 per bushel,
while 300 bushels of the same variety
were obtained in the West for $1.00 a
buahel, and it oonld be had readily for
25 cents a bushel in Nebraska. Old
and common seeds appear to have been
bought In large quantities at extrava
gant prices, while no means were left
even for packing them for distribution.

were so numerous that they had little

therein had reached a more scandalous
condition than oould be found in any

A very important decision was ren
dered last Tuesday at Des Moine,
Iowa, bv Judge Brewer, of the United
Btatea Circuit Court with regard to the
validity of the Glidden patent on the
manulhotnre ot barbed wire fence.
This patent was granted on May 12,
1874. Shortly afterwards it was sur
rendered, and a reissue was allowed
on February 9, 1876, oorering every
form of storp'Pointed metal or wire
fence for the purpose of inflicting
wounds on animals and preventing
them from passing the line ol'tlie lence.
The validity of the reissue having been
ooateeted, it was affirmed in November
1880, bv Judges Blodgett and Drum
mond, of the United States Circuit
Court at Chicago. An opposite de
cision was rendered by Judge Treat,
at St. Lonis, in Jnne, 1883. He de
clared the fare issue invalid, because the
claims in it were so much broader
than those in the orignal patent, that
it waa for ah “entirely different inven
tion,” and that Gliddon “was fully
of the feet.” The case has been before
the United States Circuit Court In
Iowa for about two years, aud tl>e
deotofou Just rendered sustains the
validity of the Glidden patent, and
holds that It was infringed by the
Fanners’ Protective Association, of
Iowa, aad J. E. Rhodes, manufec
turers at Grinnell. In the telegrams
aunonneing the decision, the Impres
sion is conveyed that it affects the
manufectnre of wire fence in all parts
of the country. This is erroneous, as
ita effects are confined, within the
Jurisdiction of the Circnit Court which
rendered the decision. At present,
therefore, anyone making, seeling or
tteiug barbed-wire fence made by Die
Glidden prooees, within the jurisdic
tion of the Courts which supported the
patent at Chicago and Dcs 'Moines,
would be liable to prosecution for
intringement: but it is quite permissi
ble to make it within the jurisdiction
of the Court that denied ihe validity
of the Glidden patent, at St. Lonis.
The caao has been appealed to the
United States Supremo Court; [but it
will to at least years yet, before it can

Aa K*m; on Butter-Making.
Butter is tlie mature fruit of tlic
full-blown cow. It is the ffrcAtcst
effort of her life. The cow tolls not,
neither does she spin; vet I say unto
you that Solomon In all his glory could
not beat tier on hard made or rather
milk-maid butter. This subtle joke I
have repaired and newly upholstered
for use during the winter.
Butter comes from the cow in a
liquid state. It is quite a trick to win
her confidence so that she will yield it
to a perfect stranger. I once sought to
woo the lacteal fluid from (he milk-
retort of a largo speckle coV to whom
I was a comparative stranger. She
wasn’t one of those blooded cows that
look as though they had<>een cut out
of a sheet of paper with a pair of
scissors. She-was a low cow, with
ooai-se instincts, born in obscurity^
Her brow was low, but she wore her
tail high, and was haughty—Oh, so
haughty! The young man who had
hitherto acquired the milk from this
cow desired one evening to hie him
away to a neighboring village, whore
he might trij* Tito light bombastic toe
till tlie wee sma’ [hours wcnt| anent the
taw*. (Quotation from a poet who
was a poor speller.) He wanted me
to milk his large, speckled, 1‘lebiau
cow; and 1 said I would. Tlie move
ment was certainly ill advised. I un
dertook to do as I had agreed, but
failed. From the moment I entered
icr stall and made a commonplace
remark to her 1 knew our acquaintance
would not lead to a warm attachment.
Somehow, I felt constrained and un
easy in tier society from tlie moment
we met until loving friends pulled me
out through the stable window and
brought mo back to consciousness. 1
shall never undertake to milk a strange
cow again until the sign is right.
So far, the sign has not been right.
I might be sent on a Tolar expedi
tion and get stranded on an iceberg,
with no other alternative than to milk
a cow or eat an old friend; but I should
hate to tackle the cow unless the friend
was a very old friend indeed.
Butter is produced by expunging the
juice from a rare and costly chemical
known ns cream. Cream is tlie bead
of tlie milk. Milk is known ns dry
and extra dry. A good milkman will
always ask you whether you want your
milk wet or ootherwiso.
An old well-digger named Grady
told me about going over into Southern
Indiana at one time to dig a well for a
man named With tun. Wit hum was
said to lie. very close, lie whs the
most contiguous man in Indiana. His
wife used to skim (lie milk on one side,
and then turn it over and skim the
bubbles oil'. It was a constant strug
gle between Witlium and his wife to
see which would be the meaner.
The first day that Grady was there
they had a round ball of butter, about
as big as a lemon and as hard as Pha
raoh's heart. The butter-knife hud a
handle Ihat would turn every time any
one tried togeta lick.at the butter, and
the little round ball would flop over
on the other side and smile. Now and
then, a hired man would reach over
with his own knife; and make a slash
at it, but, confident of its own
strength, would tip over with a dull
thud, and the man would heave a sigh
and give it up. Then another farm
hand would make a wild dash at it,
but hurst into tears and quit. Finally
Grady, who had watched this per
formance several days, jabbed his fork
down through the middle of tlie yel
low chunk and successful! v cut it in two.
In Hie centre was a small solid wooden
toy. “There,” said Grady, “I’ve
found out what the blamed tiling is
wound on, anyhow.’*-/ii'// A’ye, in
Louisville Courier-Journal.

beating hit wife last January. -He was
the first white man punished under the
Maryland law of 1882.
Deputy Warden Shea conducted the
pritoher from cell 106, whichls on the
third tier. Pyers was dressed In dark
trousers, shoes and _a woollen shirt.
He is a short, thick-set fellow, with
brown mustache and hair, and coarse
features. He came from behind the
prison bars with a steady step aud a
sullen but determined manner. He
p\illcd off bis woollen shirt without
exhibiting nervoususs, and walked up
to the whipping-post and planted his
feet firmly upon the platform, and
then glanced at tlie twenty or thirty
persons who were in thehsdL
Warden Morrison .motioned with his
hand tor Pyers to get in position, and
he obeyed promptly, stretching out his
arms to be fastened to the crossbeam
of tlie post. Deputies Edwards and
Russell secured his arms and legs with
steel shackles. The shackles around
iiis legs pressed against him ,so tight
that lie asked them loosened, anc
Warden Morrison told Deputy Ed

the shackles were fastened Pyers could
not budge.
As soon as everything was in readi

off his blue sack coat and walked to

lips were closed, and his manner
showed that nothing lint a strict sense
of duty .could have induced him to
undertake so disagreeable a task. He
turned and nodded to Ueputv Sherifl'
Tliurlow, who immediately drew out
from under his waistcoat a thin, stiff
rawhide three feet long.
“Count aloud a* I lay it on,” the
sheriff said to Thurlow, and then
raised the cowhide aloft, and with his
long arm brought it down on Py^r’s

About three years ago there appear
ed on my right breast three lard lumps
which gave me almost intolerable pain.
They continued to grow, and finally
developed in what the doctors called
cancer of Hie breast. In a abort time
I found my strength gone and my
constitution a total wreck. From a
robust woman I was reduced to a
helpless invalid. Several of the best
physicians of Atlanta treated me for
cancer, but without improving my
condition the least, and finally agree
ing that they could nothing more for
me. The cancer by this time was
eating out my very life, and for five
months I was a helpless, bedridden
creature About one year ago, at the
suggestion of a friend, I commenced
tlie use of Switt’s Specific. The first
influence of the medicine was to in
crease the discharge, but after a month
or more I began to improve, and this
wonderful medicine has brought back
my health again. I now do all my
own house-work, I am perfectly fred
from pain and feel like a new person
altogether. I cannot feel too grateful
for this wonderful recovery, for I am
satisfied if it had not been for Swift’s
Specific I. would have teen in my
grave to-day. I most cheerfully recom
mend it to all those who arc suffering
with this fearful disease.

On Wednesda> the Postmaster Gen

and the blood beneath looked as ifit
would burst out. “Two! three!” ex
claimed Thurlow, and at the third
swipe Pyers winced. The muscles in
Iiis arms bey an to swell and his teeth
came together with a grinding noise,
but not a word or cry did lie utter.
The other twelve followed rapidly,
each leaving its red mark, but none
drawing blood except the last two,
which lapped tlie shoulders and tore
tlie flesh from \Qii$h the blood trickled.
It took jnst sixteen seconds to give
Hie fifteen lushes. Had the sheriff, by
going slower, been less merciful it is
likely that Pyers could not have stood
the punishment without fainting. As
it was the pain was so intense that
when lie was unfastened tlie flesh on
Ids arms and breast and back quivered
bis eyes were boodshot, and his face
plainly indicated that though be had
nerved himself to bear a great deal, the
agony was more than he expected. But
lie did not whimper. On the contrary
lie tried to sneer or smile as lie was
putting on his shirt, but as it came in
contact with ids raw back the sneer
and smile faded away. Dr. S. V.
Hoopmaa followed him to his cell, and
with arnica and laudanum tried to re
lieve Ins suffering. “Tlmt’sa d— hard
punishment for a white man, doctor,”
lie said, and as he spoke tears came in
Ids eves, caused by the relaxation of
ids nervous system and probably by
the realization of Ids degradation. He
spent the rest of Hie day sitting in bis
cell in a dazed, half stupid condition.
The whipping-post rests upcyi a plat
form, and is about six foot six inches
high and ten inches broad by seven
deep, with a circular head. It is T-
shaped. The arms slide on steel gear
ing to enable them to be adjusted to
tiic height ot the tallest man. With
short man like Pyers the arms were so
low that they formed a cross. The
steel shackles are at the ends of the
arms and at Hie base and half-way the
centre of the upright post.
All the prisoners were confined to
their cells during the punishment,
including Henry A. Meyers, who was
recently sentenced to twenty lashes.
Meyers is badly frightened, and wtl
not go through Hie ordeal with the
nerve shown by Pyers. Sheriff Airey
iiad purchased several cowhides, one
of which was as thick as an ordinary
cane. He did not use this thick one
because lie feared lie might injure the
mau permanently. The thick one
might have done more injury, but the
thin one had more aente pain in it

•eys that e messenger from Dolores
Valley arrived there on Tneaday after
noon and states that the Indians killed
e neighbor named Genther, seriously
wonaded his wife and burned his
bouse, toms, haystacks, etc. Tto
messenger confirms the report that
cowboys had killed six of a family of
Indians. One young buck who be
longed to the same family was wound
ed, out escaped and came to the agency
at Ignacio and fold bis story, and im
mediately two hundred aud fifty war
riors came to the agency and denianded
revenge. Agent Stottsieimer pacified
them by agreeing to go with twenty'
five of their number to Fort Lewis,
there to get at) escort of soldiers and
then |>roceed -to tlie scene of trouble,
investigate the whole affair and bring
back tlie bodies of their dead com
rades. Accordingly the agent and tto
Indians passed through Durango, en
route to Fort Lewis. Another messen
ger arrived there Tuesday night bring
ing a report that a party oi Indians
met Joe Dougherty, brother of Capt.
Dougherty of the 22d Cavalry, now
stationed at Fort Lewis, while on his
way home near Mitchell Springs, kille*
him and carried his wife into captivity.
Capt. Perriue, who was in camp in the
Mciitcsnm Valley with three com
nies, sent Capt. Dougerty with

It is stated that the commander of Fort
Lewis, hearing of the setion of Capt
perrine, immediately sent a company
of cavalry to intercept Capt. Dough
erty, fearing that he might lose iiis
udgment aud seek revenge for the
eath of his brother and the captivity
of iiis wife, who is a daughter of Mr
Mitchell, of Mitchell Springs, with
whom Dougherty's children were stay
ing during the absence of their parents
There are many conflicting stories as
to who commenced tlie trouble. The
cowboys claim that it was the Indians
while on Hie oilier hand the Indians
and their agent accuse Hie cowbovs of
carrying out a threat to kill all Indians
whom they find off a reservation.

will probably scatter and return to

Washington, D. C., June 22.—The

has concluded the second annual ad
justment of the salaries of the 2,353
Presidential postmasters in the United
States on the basis of the sale of stamps
during tbe four quarters ending May
31, 1885. The first adjustment basis
covered a |>eriod during six months of
which the three-oent stamp rate pre
vailed, and during the other six
mouths of which the two-cent stamps
were in nse. Tlie present readjust
meut is based upon tbe first whole
year of tbe two-cent stamp period, and
the fact that in only 134 Presidential
offices the sales fell below the $1,900
requisite to keep the offices in the
upper list is looked upon as remarka
bly encouraging to the system. Ttie
South Carolina offices held their own
very well, only two out of nineteen
being relegated from tbe Preaidenlia
to Hie fourth class. The old and the
new salaries are as follows:

“My name is Mary Chapman, and I live
at the corner of Williams and Cox streets,
Atlanta. I have been a dreadful aufferer
from scrofula and running, eating scrofu
lous ulcers for six years. Have been wait
ed upon during the time by seven Atlauta
physicians, but tliey failed to cure me. I
also used various advertised remedies
without the least benefit. While being
thus treated, I grew worse all tlie time.
Scrofulous swellings oiijkoth sides of my
neck—which became running, eatingAores,
affecting my throat, mouth and nose. The
eating sores on my neck were a mr.ss of
corruption altmist down to tlie bones. My
ttiroat became so much affected that 1
could scarcely swallow, my food lodging in
a portion of my throat. 1 lost my appetite
entirely, lost my flesh, and was reduced to
60 |>ounds weight—being a mere skeleton.
My whole system became terribly poisoned
and in a fearful condition. In tins condi
tion I commenced the use of IJ. B. W., and
found great relief in the first oottle.
‘When 1 had used five bottles my health
bad so much improved that the ulcers were
all healed, tlie swelling subsided, my ap
petite returned, my skin became active,
my strength returned, and 1 gained 44
pounds of fiesh. 1 am now healthy, fat
and hearty, aud am able to do as much
work as any woman, and feel as happy as
lark.'’

having suffered for many years
from menstrual irregularity, and
having been treated without bene
fit by various medical doctors, were
at length completely cured by one
bottle of Dr. J. Bradfield’s Female

is truly wonderful, and well may
the remedy be called “Woman’s
