The Employment of Indians
in the Regular Army? r.
It is singular.. ?ber-, that it was only
last winter that the idea of employing
our own Indians as regulars in our
permanent establishment was serious?
ly take? hold of by our War Depart?
ment. It is true that for many years
jpast the services of friendly tribes
have been called into requisition in
Indian wars. They have been used
in such cases, however, almost exclu?
sively ss scouts and trailers, enlisted
for the campaign only, ad a rule,
without serious organization or dis?
cipline, and without sympathy fur a
service of which they formed no per?
manent part.
Last year Lieutenant Casey, of the
Twenty-second Infantry, a dashing
and able young officer, stationed then
at Fort Keogh, Montana, conceived'
the i?ea of employing thia indian
^material on a mote substantial and
permanent basis, il is idea was to
'^enlist tbe Indians of the different
tribes in separate troops or compa?
nies, and for definite periods of say
a yeat/orsix months. They were to
be thoroughly drilled and disciplined,
required to keep two pony mounts of
sei vices ble quality, for which the
government was to allow forage and
extra pay, and to ne allowed to con?
tinue in the service, ny re-enlistment,
during good behavior. This was in?
tended to serve the double purpose of
giving a leaven of civilization and
military training to each of the tribes
represented, and at the same time
furnishing the anny with a number
of bodies of light irregular cavalry
scattered among its Western sta?
tions. Their levies were to be
'known as "scouts," but in arms,
.equipments, uniform, and drill they
were to be assimilated as rapidly as
possible to the condition of regulars,
it will be seen at once where the dif?
ference lay between such troops as
these, and the untrained and merely
temporary bodies up to that time
known aa scouts to our army. Lien
tenant Casey carried his views to
Washington. Ile was entitled to the
sole credit for his conception, and he
urged his plans with all the earnest?
ness of his enthusiastic nature. For?
tunately he mei with both attention
and encouragement fr jin Mr. Proctor,
the Secretary of War. Ways and
means were discussed, and Casey, in
May, came back to Keogh happy in
permission from the Secretary to
raise a troop of one hundred Chey?
ennes, '.tu be.enlisted on the condi?
tions above named -Lient S C.

Weekly.
Farm Economy.
"First : Ask 99 farmers out of 100
til i s qn?st?on : * ls it not to the inter
eat of thW fermer to raise his own
supplies and make the farra self sus?
taining ? and the answer will be inva?
riably yes, and still in thc face of
such knowledge eight tenths of the
fanners are planting large cotton
crops and small provision crop3 and i
Jboy provisions to support their farms, i
And"this ia done admitting it to be a <
^vrong and ruinous system, in a word, c
it is persisting in error knowingly. ?
Second : Let me say to ail my
4>rotber farmers that farming under
auch a syrtRm insures the same ruin
AS it would to a man whose capital
was in money, and his family expen?
ses exceeded the interest income,
And yearly he had to draw on the
principal to support his extravagan?
za* which would be consuming the
t?ap3?| in addition to interest. The
judicious* farmer should manage his
farming interests as a good financier
would his money.
Third : The plain truth is, to make
forming profitable farmers must re
aunt to first principles, which is undi?
vided attention to their business;
live within themselves ; pay as they
jgof and build up their lauds by rotat
.ingiero ps, plowing under vegetable
?natter and have stock yards and save
All manares.

A Espublican State and a Ne?

in gerrywandering it? congressional

Last week, in one of the little
towns of the interior of the State, a
simple minded, partially demented
<larky made his appearance Ile sat i
around the front door stoops of theil
$>Iace. Ile gazed wistfully at the j I
tempting food, that could im seou on j j
well filled tabies. Ile looked longing?
ly into warm rooms and comfortable
kitchens. Ile peered innocently at
passers by, and rested his tired frame
against gate posts and yaid fences,
lie did no one harm, if e offered no
offense. lie committed no wrong
He was found guilty of no imperti?
nence. But he was a dat ky and in a
section of Republican Ohio tiiat
boast, that no colored man shall lind
home among them, and to make good
that boast the "poor fellow, after freez
ing about the streets for a couple of
days, was deliberately taken to the
outskirts of the town and hanger un
.lil dead.
There was no offense of any kind
charged to him. No fear that he
would commit a crime or perpetrate
an outrage JJnt he was a darkey, a
poor, weak-minded. doless, half
starved, fri? ndless darkey, aimlessly
loud innocei.tly wandering about the
Country, and Ohio people-a people I
that boasts of their c?viitZ dion, their \
Republicanism, their christianity and
good deeds, seized him aiwj uut?? him >
to a tree, because he was a darkey,
and that is all there was of it.
What columns of denunciation this
would have brought forth from Re?
publican papers had this outrage been
perpetrated in the South ? What
campaign thunder it would have cre?
ated for Harrison and Republicanism
had it occurred across the river in
Democratic Kentucky ? What a God?
send it would have been to the party
now in hunt of an issue and in
need of a sentiment, had it been the
work of Democrats in Mississippi or
Georgia ?
But it was not.
And because it was not, because it
was an, Ohio-Republican Ohio
crime we hear but little of it through
Republican papers and by the time
the campaign opens, the facts of this
horribly brutal act, as well as the
poor, black victim of the prejudices
and passions of these people, will
have been forgotten, by these pre*
tentious sympathizers with the color?
ed men when their votes are needed
to carry elections -Watchman, Belle

A Simple Remedy for
Scratches.
Six years ago the present winter,
owing to very illness in our family, the
care and oversight of our stock were
too dependent upon the services of a
hireling. Securing a short respite from
the sick room one day, we made a tour
of investigation about the barn. On
entering the stable where I kept roy
heavy three-horse team, I detected
something unpleasant in the atmos?
phere. Scratches you anticipate.
Right, and the worst case you ever
saw. My Percheron mare was actu?
ally rotting away, from her hips to ber
hoofs, and her limbs were swollen to a
fearful size and contained cracks and
depressions and yawning sores. It was
evident that the mare was suffering
intensely, as she was continually shifting
her weight from one side to the other.
And for her to lie down was out of the
question as ber legs were as Urge and
as stiff as posts. We examined the
other inmates of the stable, one a Clyde
and the other an Euglish mare, and the
skin was slouching off their legs as off
a dead carcass.
Did we hunt up the hireling and as?
sassinate him? No, but if such dire
results of carelessness had happened
when all was well at the house, there is
no telling what might have happened at
the barn. We remembered al ?o, that
"He that ruleth bis spirit is better than
he that taketh a city," and with at least
no outward semblance|of resignation we
stepped out into a purer atmosphere
and started off in a mental pursuit of
?oms soothing but prompt and effective
remedy* We would not for a moment
entertain the old fish brine cure, as it
would have been nothing short of down?
right ungodliness to have resorted to such
irritating applicatious with the theo
present conditions.
We at last hit upon it that thick,
soar buttermilk would be and do just
what we bad been after. I spent a
~?ce-half hour in applying sour milk to
the hind legs of the Percberson mare
-the worst case. I applied with a
sloth and I bad not begun the operation
river ten minutes before the inflamma?
tion and swelling began to subside, sud
:be mare manifested evident signs of
?est and relief, and I could feel the heat
?vaporating through the moistened
skin to a di?taoce of two feet from tho
lurface. I could distinctly feel (he
pulsations or waves of heat at that
listaocs. Io two hours the swelling
lad abated more than one-half, aud the
nare was eating her supper with a
reen relish. This was ou Monday even
hg. I made two more applications
iud on Thursday morning the marc
?ent to work for a coal company, cured
mund and as suppl? as she ever was.
There were, of course, scars and
Impressions iu her limbs for two or three
peeks, bat not the l*-sst soreness. Two
ipplications for each of the other two
?ured sound and whole, and ail went
o work on the day referred to. AM
>are spots were covered with a healthy
rrowth of hair in a short time. John

A Lesson Citizenship.
It is contended by Prof. Swing, of
Chicago, that the people do not sufii
?t?ntly study the duties of citizenship,
md that to this failure or neglect
nay be attributed many nf the evils
which afflict the body politic. High
politics is neglected and nie? tutti
:heir attention to money making. The
lollar claims their alleiganee and
ransfonns little Jeffersons into
worshippers of mammon.
The professor advises every busi
tess matt to d<*v<>ie at least ten
ninutes a day to the study of high
editics- to the reading of the writ
ngs of oar most eminent public men.
iie expresses the hope that such a
.ourse of reading will turn the aver
ige business mau into a citizen with
t taste for higher thing? than the pur?
suit of the dollar.
"Getting and spending, we lay
vaste our powers," wrote ihe poet
?Vadswoith. and this evil seems to
ye imbedded in our social and in
lus* rial system. Thc surrounding
?f the American boy inspire in him
lie loveof money as the supr?me good.
V>rne contend that thc public school
tystem is at inuit, lt may ht?pa*tinily,
mt not wholly* lt is thc obi old
dory of tin? love of money, which we
?re told on g ?od authority is "the
root ??fall evil." Bat undoubtedly j
he duties of citizenship should be |
[aught ?11 our schools. The Philadel?
phia Times says :
"The public schools shuihl. (irs!
?f all, after teaching th?: pup?s to
read and write, teach citizenship, j
They should educate our young men
io i ega rd the maintenance <>f thc
.State as their big-test cliffy. Patriot?
ism w?H**l IM? taught in tlje formative
yeats, ami not left to be the mere
inversion o th<* riper ycart* nf the busi
ness mau Every mau who enjoys
[he blessings ofour free government
should be willing and glad to give
a reasonable am-unt o?f time to the
discharge of the duties ?>/ citizenship
without money or price, hut if he is
lo do so, titi>* otdigiti??ti must be
instilled into his tnin-J before dollar
getting has absorbed ail his euer
tries "
The accumulation of great fortunes
in the hand- of a tew has spread I he j
craze for wealth, ?ike fire among
st tl obie, until the whole social and
industrial fabric is permeated with
the greed for gain to au abnormal
degree. Money exercises a Controll?
ing power in society and in politic?
The great prizes ate awaid^d thc I
rich, and hence the young and am?
bitious man must adopt some money?
making pursuit and devote himself
wholly to it. Ke has bot little, if
any, time for the study of high
politics, and still less to devote to the
broad and liberal culture of his mind
and heart. Such efforts do not swell
his bank account, and hence high
politics and liberal culture are neg?
lected.
Ite io tra this state of affairs is to
be lamented, but it is natural under
our ruling conditions ; and not until
wealth is more generally distributed
and ceases to be tbe idol cf so many
worshippers will the average man
fret his soul much over the duties of
citizenship.
The Olcott Plan in Court.
KSOXVILLK, TENS, April 15 -A bill
io coaocery was filed to-day in Judge
Gibson's Court by Luther A. Morton
and W. J. Walsh, of Chattanooga, mi?
nority stockholders of the East Tennes?
see, Virginia and Georgia Railroad
Company, asking for a receiver. This
action is takeo to prevent thia ro id being
consolidated with other Soutuern roads,
ootably the Richmond aod Danville and
allied roads, under the same of the
Great Southern Railroad Company,
apon the report and recommendation of
the Olcott committee.
The Behring Sea Modus
Vivendi.
WASHINGTON, April 13 -It is stated
that the modus vivendi has not yet been
formally signed. The British Minister
is a daily visitor to the State Department,
aod this morning had quite a long con?
ference with Secretary Blaine. It can
Qot be officially ascertained whether the
contemplated tnodous vivendi provides
for compensation for damages for seals
already taken, bat unofficially the state?
ment is made that it does, and treats the
matter very liberally.
-~-- '
It will bea relief to the administra?
tion organs when Governor Tillman
get? on the stump and discloses his plan
of campaign for thus far they are woe?
fully in want of arguments to adance
their c^use. Hence their only matt rial
is personal abuse and they are proving
adepts at this kiud of work. The Anti
Tillman press on the contrary are keep?
ing the issues before the people. They
are showing the loss of credit the State
has sustained ; the unjust warfare made
on the banks and railroads ; the incon?
sistency of Governor Tillman is asking
for and receiving railroad passes; his un?
called for action in regard to taxes and
numberless other things.
Eggs are usually esteemed expensive
diet ; in fact, a luxury which onlj the
rich or well-to do can afford tc ase.
But it is a mistake when we consider
their food val ne, their nnurishishing qual?
ities. Eggs, like milk, contain every ele?
ment necessary for the development of
the perfect animal. This is proved by
the fact tbat bones, muscles, blood,
feathers, everything, in fact, that make;
the fully formed chicken, is contained
in the white and yolk of an egg, In?
deed, there is no more concentrated or
nourishing food than eggs. The
albumen, oil and saline matter are just
in the right proportion f >r sustaining
animal life. If, therefore, vre eat to
obtain strength, we will find that two or
three eggs properly cooked will afford
more nourishment than a prece of meat
of equal market value. When we come
to compare the cost of producing eggs
and pork, we find it costs nearly twice as
much to produce a pound of pork as it
does a pound of eggs, and taking into
account the nutritive value of each and
the comparative prices of the two ou the
average, the pork is three times as
co* tl j a food as eggs, and certainly
much less wholesome.
