HE Cheyennes and Kiowas 'were on the warpath in 1867. Stage stations were attacked and burned, telegraph wires were torn down and thrown intowells, and 9ll regular communication on the ,r overland trail was abandoned. It was the duty of Captain Powell to estab lish the stations, leaving a gaard of a two or three men at eacb, and to push I cn towardFort Lupton. The country A was swarming with Indians, and small .s parties of white men movedonly under r- great peril. At one point along the 9 river the comman1 met a stage. which A1 presented an amusing sight. On the w top sat five men, armed with long guns and revolvers, while from the inside y peered a woman and three children. 1I The Captain persuaded the party to lace itself under his protection, as a to coach had been attacked the day before q and the driver killed. At the Wis it consin ranch the coach and the dead a body of the driver were brought in. The lining had been cut ont and the woodwork was riddled with bullets. The savages had torn open the mail sack and distributed the letters over it i the plains. after tearing them open, as it if in search of money. ext day at a spot called Living Springs. forty miles north of Denver, a long, lank individual walked into camp. The stranger called for the oticer in command, and was conducted to Captain Powell. L' "The man intro~died himself as a Methodist minist er from Denver, " said Colonel Powell. "I asked him how he happened to be so far from home. Hle replied by saying that he wanted R to borrow a gun. 'If a coach comes through,' said he, 'I want to go along t and kill some of those red devils that were after me yesterday.' T asked the naa to sit down and tell his story. *i He did so, saying that he was in the )t coach whose driver was killed the day before. I looked at him in astonish ment, but he told his story in such a straight-forward way that I believed it. He explained that the day before was quite warm, and after dinner lie had pulled oil his coat and boots, and A being the only passenger in the cach had stretched himself across the seats iuside and gone to sleep. His story went as follows: "I i had not been napping very long when I was awakened by the most in ferual yelling I ever beard in my life. I looked out the window, and found that thirty or forty Indians had at tacked the coach, and were ponring volley after volley into it. The driver had turned the horses, and we were I.making remarkable speed toward God "frev's ranch. A shot struck the driver, and he fell off the box dead. eo "'Then I thought my only chance - of safety lay in reaching. the boot and ggetting hold of the lines. I climbed n out of the door, crawled into the seat k left vaicant, and discovered to my dis Smay that the lines had fallen between a ground." Contining his narrative, Colonel Powvell related the story as it came from the lips of the minister. The SIndians continued their frightful Sshouts, and the terrified horses 'plunge'd forward at a pace thit threat. e eed to wreck the coach. T1he minis Iter climbed down to the tongue of the Icoach and made a wild grab for the lines. At the samne moment the coach luinged across a guiley in the san1 which bad been forme.l by a storm 7the ulay before. The minister lcst his hol ant fe-li hea-ilong into the wash out. The coach p'a-sel over him, an-1 a momnent later the piursuing Indians Sdashed by on horseback after the coaceh and horses.4 'The mnister lay perfectly still for several mijnutes. Then lie peered over tthe plain, to see that thme coach had bel~en stoppe) l' a short distance away t. aiid was being: robbed. The minister siv voly o~ne mneans of escape. The Indians would certainly return f->r his a sadp, and his only safety was in a Sbold dlash for the Plate River, several .. undred yards away. The river wvas wide and swift, au-l he might succeed Sin crossing to the opposite batik. The eproject was e irriedt into exentioni.

The tire I sailors slept 'ounidly. None heard any nusuat! Iuproar in the ight, not even the huow wat chmanx, p'eering dlead ahead througi k"- ists. At dlaylight, however, he nut-d that the heavy seine buoat hal beena capsizeed, anld that it lurched weihtlyv on its ihiek towing line. Ife pile1t ill handls on dleck. Great was the regre-t ani1 concern of all, for the va labl seine, tile matl~itayV of their intd ustry, hat grone~ overboar.i and evi cently was lost. Gloomily, butl qtuikl, t a: sailors righutedl the boat au I the n they- d isco'vere-d that a sword ti i ha chrged the loat an-I h-1 trough its stout -;ie. So territic, in 3 uie i. lhad bueenu his uonset. that, ap squarely out of the sea twirling it in the air, like a :huttlecock, aud it had come down bottom up and was partly submerged. The bottom of the boat is of solid planking, but the swordtish had driven his sword through it as easily, it seemed, asif it had been of paper. But after he had delivered the thrust the fish had been unable to withdraw his blade; hence with a mighty wrench he had shaken himself free from the craft, but his sword was broken. The point, solidly fixed in plank and sheathing, protruded mor than six inches above the bottom u the craft. The Centennial crew. course, had no idea they would ( set eyes on the lost seine again, vet not more than thirty minutes later +he schooner Speculator, which had he--n fishing on the same grounds on the previous day, hailed them, saying they had just picked up the Centennial't; net. It was so badly torn, however, having been sliced in a score of places by the swordfish's jagged blade, that the Centennial fishermen started for Gloucester to have it repaired. In the past five seasons two fisher men of Block Island waters have been* mortally injured, and half a dozen others severely hurt, by wounded swordfish, whose blades were drived through their cockle shells with the speed of a rifle shot.. In one instance the sword went through the bottom of the boat-the crew did not know even that the monster was approaching them-slid through its middle seat of plank as readily as if it was pasteboard, and was buried more than two feet in the body of an unhappy seaman. The man survived his frightful wound for only a few hours. In two other instances in Block Island waters swordfish have even at tacked fishing schooners and smacks and driven their sabres straight through planking three inches thick, the sword each time sharply broken, and the fragment remained imbedded a tightly in the opening it 'had made that no water leaked into the vessel. Rode With a Skull. Some weird experiences have been noted on the ranges of Northern Ari zona. Several years ago Cut-it-Short, Chief of the Navajos, was killed after shooting down two Deputy Sheriffs sent to arrest him for some alleged crime. He crawled into a gully worn by sudden torrents in tie banks that lead down to the Little Colorado. ionsiderable coin was snpposed to nave been on his person at the time of his death. Stockman .1. W. Benham, now of this city, concluded to round up the cadaver with his other spring cAves during the vernal roleo. S> he peered and poked about through the hundreds of caves and underground labyrinths of that region until by chance he stumbled upon the deco-n. posed remains of the slain chieftnin. In turning him round to find the sup posed money the head of the aborig inal leader accidentally fell from its attendant body. It was thrutt into a sack and placed in the cook's commissary wagon. For fifty miles it jolted over rough roads to the cattle men's ranch. A muffle 1, thumping lieve that the coffee was slowly escap ing from its canister. Arriving home after dark, the cook proceede.l to un pack his wagon. Taking the gruesome sack into the adobe cabin where his emplloyers lived lie emptied it to see how much cof'ee hadl been lost. When the grinning skall of the deali Navajo rolled sepulchrtilly forth the paar cook stood transfixed with horror. Finally, however, greed overcame his terror, and1 on exploring the bony brain inclosure he fon- t'on silver dollars. The old chief h l died with his wealth in his month.-Phoenix ( Arizona) Gazette. A Brave Engineer. An explosion of natural gas took place under the boilers of the Chic a Elison plant, in the rear of the big Newbery library, at Walton plase ' tx Clark street. The enziuoer an i fi re man were badly Injnrel, onv boiler wrecked an.l all th->se livin . nort] of the river using inican lescent lights were left in tiarknes<. The miracle of it all is the escape of the big library building and its valuable collection of boa s. If~ the explosion halI ocentre~l when the bi'g double-doors of the boiler room were closed at least a p~arr. of the library would have been blown to pieces. As it was the heroism of Enigineer .Jen kins in turning off the gas from the main savedI further wreckage and pa.r haps an immense loss of life, for a large crowd was attracted to the scene by the first explosion. His bravery in crawling twenty feet through six inches of scalding water, along a dark subway filled with blindivg, scalihng steam, alone saved a second explosion of natural gas that was filling the big boiler room ready for furether dex lly work.

A Woman's Wonrierful Escapa. .A rep~ort from Konmgsberg on the iregel has a reamrk'mble narrativ ot the escape of a fish-wife, who went out in a little boat on the lIlfr in or der to take so'ne provisio:is to her husband and his companions, whi were fishing.

FARM AND GARDEN. PIE AS A POULTRY AND STOCK FOOD. Rice is attracting attention as a food for stock and poultry. There is a large amount of badly cleaned and broken rice which might be very prof itably thus employed.-New York World. ANMRICAN IRISES. American irises do not seem to have received the attention from cultiva tors that they deserve. It is doubtful if there be at this time a complete col lection even of the different species in any one garden, while there are, no doubt, good varieties which have never been cultivated, and probably not even collected for herbariums. Again, there are varieties which have only a local reputation, and which have not been generally distributed. I have found a number of varieties of this kind; some of these are not yet flow ered here. Some of our irises are most difficult to establish, and it will task the skill of an Eastern grower to flower some of the West Coast species, which resent removal and naturally are at rest during our summer season.-Gar den and Forest. POISONING THE CUTWoRMS. We notice in one of our agricul tural contemporaries a siatement to the effect that "a prominent entomol ogist (fortunately name not given) proposes placing a tablespoonful of sweetened bran mash containing p'oi son by the side of each hill of corn" for the purpose of poisoning cutwor mis. We doubt very much if any promi nent or other entomologist has or could bo induced to recommend such an ab surd thing, because all of the dozen or more species of the cutworm feed en tirely on green and succulent plants, and would be no more inclined to eat bran mash than smoke a cigatrette. A man who should set out such a tempt ing poisoned dish for wild birds and domestic fowls migLt find himself amenable to laws enacted for the ex press purpose of preventing stupid and vicious persons from placing poisons in exposed positions on their grounds or elsewhere. -New York Sun. OLD STONE wALLS. When the country was new many farmers put as much stone as they could into walls for their fences. These were deemed much more im portant then than they are now. How ever great the satisfaction when the wall was built in thinking that it was a fence forever, the time has come in many places where the stone wall is a nuisance. Its material is all there, but the work of relaying it and of keeping it in repair is greater than the interest on cost of most fences. Be sides, the stone wall is a harbor for weeds, and it often is a refuge for skunks, weasels and other farm ver min. On most farms the best use of the old stone walls is to build base ments for barns or cellar walls, or in the underdrains. Good drains can be made from stone alone, or after laying the tile a layer of stone may be placed above them, coming to within a foot or so from the surface, so the stone will not likely be ever in the way of the )low-Bogd ca Cntiator. HARVESTING AND MARKETING GRAPES. Picking, packing and marketing should be done systematically ; care less pickers or packers cannot b3 tol erated. In Western New York a bushel tray or box is used almost exclusively for picking. This is too cumbersome and requires both hands in moving it. We use a shallow half bushel box, or basket, which is readily handled with one hand. A good picker will gather from 1200 to 1500 pounds per day without dropping or crushing any, and a good packer will pack 100 to 125 baskets and get them full enough so they will open up smooth and level on top with no stems in sight, but not so full as to crush the fruit in putting on the cover. Pick grapes at least twenty-four hours before they are packed. If picked and pa-iked at once, they settle so the basket is only two thirds full when it reaches the con sumner. Plan the harvest work so that full loads can b~e hauled to the depot each ansy. If the roads are good, as they should be, 400 or 590 baskets can be as readily drawn as half that number. Have the packing house cool and airy, withi room and conveniences for the uackers to work to the best advantage. I*C you ship to a commission house, don't listen to every drummer that conmes along, lbut select two or three reliable firms and give themu your fruit exclusively. The plan of forming all growers into a co-operative union has not proved a success here. A better plan is for sever-al gr-owers wvho can. work harmonioudy to loa-1 their own carai and ship or sell in earlots. -Ameri can Agriculturist. TREATMENT OF sEEEP Sc'AB. The Australian sulphur and lime lip is made as follows: Take of flow ers of sulphur 100 pounds. quicklime 150 pounds, water 100 gallons. Mix aund stir, while boiling, for ten min ates, until the mixture assumes a bright red color, then add three gal ons of water. Hold. the sheep in the mixture until the scabs are thorough ly soaked. Immerse the head at least once. Use the dip at 10) to 11.0 de grees. In various sections of the Unite~l States the following proportions are nsed: Texas and New Mexico-Thirtyr ponnilis of tobacco, seven pounds of sulphur, three pounds concentratedl lye, 100 gallons of water. Nevada -Sulphur ten pounds., lie twenty pounds, water si.<ty galione. California- Sulphur fonr pounds, ime one p~oundl, wvater enough to make four gallons. Kansas--Sal thuir t wenty-t wo po unde, ime seve-1 pounds, water 10.) gallons. Sulphur and1 lime aire probab)ly the ~heapest recipe, but the lime is apt to nrjure the stable. T'obac anid sul >hur form the best combinatiou nown for the treatment of scab. To every 100 gallons of water there hould be used thirty-five pounds of good strong tobacco (if stems or other nferior parts are used there should >e more), and ten p~oundls of flower of ulphur. This shiouldl be uscl at a emperature of 120 degrees, and will eave the wool in a healthy conlition rhile killing every sort of parasite. ~Vhere tobacco is used, care should be nyes, nostrils and meoth of the sheep. To insure success, dip again within ten days or two weeks, so as to catch the larva which may have hatched out.-_ American Farmer. FERNS IN THE GARDEN. If one has a ghady place, with good soil, ferns may be successfully raised in the garden, but it is the extreme of folly to attempt to grow them in the glare of sunlight or in dry or hard earth. Neither should they be grown under large trees, unles they can be placed some distanee from the roots, as the trees absorb most of the good from the soil, and the ferns would starve to death or grow thin and ragged. Deep, rich and loamy soil is beslt for ferns, and even this should be removed in part, and its place sap plied by the black earth from the bot tom land where ferns flourish most luxuriantly. One can go to any swamp and take up and bring home ferns enough to make a beautiful bed, with very little trouble. Always se lect small plants, and lift them with plenty of earth attached to them, water then thoroughly for a number of days, and never allow them to be. come parched. If the ground gets dry, they can be kept in good condi tion by covering the roots with rotted wood or the sweepings from the lawn, taken up after the lawn mower is used, but the best of all is decayed wood from the forests. Some day when you go out to drive, put a couple of bag's in the carriage, and when you pass through some piece of thick wood land stop and gather your bags fall of scraps from the trunk of some decayed tree. In the absence of these, pieces of board or sticks of any kind are a tolerable substitute, or bricks or stones may be laid around among the plants. This will keep the earth moist and do much to promote the health and vigor of the ferns. One may buy green-hous3 ferns in the spring and put them out, ail de rive great pleasure from them all sum mer. Many of them will not live out through the winter; some of them may, but they can be removed at small cost, and the littlo- expense is well worth while.-New York Ledger. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Hold fast to your mutton sheep. Linseed meal is excellent food for the colt. Solitary confinement in a dark sta ble will make a horse vicious. Breed to suit your market, and not according to your inlividiuil taste. See that the collars fit the shoul :lers and that the hames fit the col tars. Usually the swine pasture shoull be larger than is the ca3e 6n many farms. Pawing is often caused by indiges tion, worms, constipation or disor dered kidneys. You are feeding your hens too much. phey are too fat. That's why they don't lay any more. A good sheep is a good friend to the farmer. Do not abuse him even though he is not on top just now. A lean hen seldom wants to sit, while a fat one generally does. Moral: Don't fool your hin. too much? in warm weather. It is an excellent plan to tr eat hy 3rangeas with liquid manure till the blossoms appear. It shoul then be liscontinued, abundance of water be ing given. If the dry weather affects the lawn, (eave the grass a little longer; its shade will do something for the protec tion of the roots, that otherwise might parch and dry. A hog should be kept for every cow on the average farm, provided there are at least t wo acres in the farm for each hog kept. Piggy needs room, so do cows, horses, sheep and poul try. One point in favor of sheep is that a moderate-sized flock can be kept on very many farms with but little cost; sometimes with actual direct advan tage to the farm aside from the money return for wool or mutton. If your pasturage is short, feedl corn-fodder and help out the corn with somne fall pasturage, barley, for instance, or winter rye. Sow these now where the earlier grains have been taken otl and you will get well paid. The flowering period of hybrid roses may b'e msterially p)rolonged by faithful attention to watering; and after the bloo:ninig h-s ceased water should be given with equal fidelity, be cause at that timne the newv woo.1 is formed whieh wvill give the next crop of blossoms~. If a two and a half-year ol steer can be0 tuirncd off at a better profit, weighing I:0 p5)lounds, than if kept until three years ol and1 brought to a weight of 1GO0, it w<>uld be folly to hold him. The older an animal gets the more it costs to p)ut on flesh, and cattle men are adopting the policy of feeding off earlier. Postal lcorrations onl China.
