MR. C. C. HAUN.
The follovrin g remarkable facts are fully
certified to as being undeniably correct in
everyparticular. Mr. Haan is well known
in the vicinity, having resided here over
fifty years, and is highly respected as a
man of the strictest honor, whose word is
as good as his bond.
As will be seen from his letter, four
physicians had attended him, and. it was
only after lie had given up hope of cure
that he decided to try Burdock Blood
Matins on the recommendation of a
teeighbor who had been cured of a similar
disease by -its nee. Mr. Ham writes as
follows:
'
Dethink em Sins,—I I have been one
of the worst sufferers you have yet heard
of having been six years in the hands of
lour of our best doctor's without obtaining
permanent relief, but continually growing
worse, until almost beyond hope of re-
covery, I tried your Bitters and got relief
in a few days. EgOry organ of my body
was deranged, the liver enlarged, hardened
and tozpid, the heart and digestive organs
seriously deranged, a large abscess in my
back followed by paralysis of the right
leg, in fact the lower half of my body was
ttnilifitelyt useless, .After using Burdock
Blood Bitters for a few days the abscess
burst, discha*ing fully five quarts of pus
in bwo s I felt as if I had received a
shook from a powerful battery. My re-
• cove*, after this was steady and. the cure
permanent, 'teeing that for the four years
sumo I have had as good health as ever I
bad. I still take an occasional bottle, not
that f need it bub because I wish to keep
my systera in perfect working order. I
can think of ane more remarkable case
than what I have myself passed through'
and no words can express my thankfulness
for such perfect recovery.

THE INDIAN AS A SOLDIER. 'Romero was a' Mexican dude, wearing a
$50 hat, a black suit of velveteen, red sesh
any the other accouteimentCof a caballero.
He could talk" the "sign language" with
any Indian on the plains, and, as the Na-
vajoes could speak Spanish, or Mexican,
he brought the two bodies of Indians into
conversation. A Tonkaway oftened out
with vehement gesticulaticet—as plain as
the nose on a man's face, 'Showing he was
boasting—telling of himself, his prowess ;
the number of his tribe and its wealth, the
buffalo they killed each year, and, likely,
something about the • scalps ornamenting
Toultawe.y tepee, All this gesticulation
was put into Spanish and related to" Tom."
The young IsT.S.VajO then began his talk with
such rapidity that Romero, the interpret er,
inputting it into sign languag,e, looked like •
an exhibition at a deaf and dumb asylum,
Then a Caddo came back at ",Tom "with
nimble flagers,, with nodding of the head,
and swayings of his agile and lithe figure.
" Tont " then ejaculated in a good, clear
Spanish, understood and greeted by. °fil-
mes and men of the Eighth Cavalry, who
gathered around to witness the powwow
with cheers and laughter. "Let's sit down
I can't lie very well when I stand up."
That night- the buffalo -eaters, or plains
Indians of Geueral Davidson's conunand,
invited the Navajoes to a buffalo baneuett
There were two huudred or more plains In-
dians pitted against just one dozen Nava-
joes, more than half civilized and not, accus-
tomed to the gorging orgies after a. success-
ful buffalo hunt. The Tonkawaye, Kechis,
and Caddos ran relays in on the Navajoes,
but the dozen of wool -growing, peach..culti-
vating and cattle -herding Indians of New
Mexico stood up manfully with the help of
their index fingers occasiorailly,as an emetic,
against the odds with which they heel to
conlithe:d,
moral is that if, after years of suck
civilization as the Navajoes have enjoyed,
since the daya of Montezuma twelve Indians
of the tribe retained enough appetite to
'Contend in an eating match with two hum-
dred nomads of the plaius, the ratione in the
Indian regiments of the regular army of to-
day will always run short.
Vxpernitents Haile In the Army at ow
United states.
The adaptability of the American Indian
to the work of a soldier, is a problem Which
,has devolvedupon the army of authorities
for eolution within the last twelve mouths.
Last summer orders emanated from army
headquarters' in Washington to ekeletonize
two companies of each infantry and twci
troops of each cavalry regimeet, and then
to fatteu up these skeletons to maximum
standard of strength by recruiting the high
privates from tliN different Indian tribes.
1?orthwitli great difficulty was experienced
in inducing the Indians to enlist, esPeoially
in the infantry, as an Indian. abhors walk-
ing with an intensity greater than the dis-
gust the devil is credited with having for.
holy water. There have been some compan-
ies and treops recruited and two companies
of Indian cavalry have been ordered to Fort
Sheridan, near Chicago, for their better ed-
ucation.
But withoat entering into the details of
this plan of educating the Indian under
compulsion, the question is: „Can the In-
dian be made a good soldier? He can ride
a horse like an Arab, and, as much disin.
alined as he is to walking, he can under
pressure, become as fleet -footed as Mer-
cury, though girdled and clinched up
against the pangs of hunger and thirst such
as Tantalus acme ever experienced. Yet
with all such conunendations it is held by
experienced army officerthat the greatest
obteetions to him as a soldier are the qual-
ities that commend him, and without being
paradoxical in the claim. Though a good
pedestrian, he is so lazy that he would have
to be animated by a discharge of dynamite
before getting a move on himself beyond
"a reverse arms" march to a national cem-
etery. And as capable of efastings as he
may be, he is always huugrier then a man -
satin tiger of India, and any regiment of
Indians can me more ratioue in. one day
than the ten days' allowance of a White
regiment.
Experience in the command of Indian
ecouts has qualified the officers who protest
against the introduction of Indians as sold.
iers in the army to estimate them et their
probablii worth, let the hope of their ser-
vice', be of a high or lo w degree.
The writer has soon the Indian as & sol-
dier in the army and as a scout. It was
during the civil war that two or mare In-
dian regiments were enlisted an the Union
side to fill up the Kansas contingent. They
were put under command of General Blunt,
and were marched away from their homes
to take part in the border warfare along
the Missouri and Arkansas line. They
much protested against leaving without
their women and children, but were finally
induced to do so, Reaching camp after a
day's march "the Indian soldiers" had no
sooner tethered their horses and gob to cook-
ing their rations that their families came
trooping over the divide "to take supper"
with tbem—about threesquaws to each buck
and five papooses to each squaw. The first
ten daysrations issued the command were
eaten up at the one meal.
History tells as how treacherous and un-
reliable the Indians were whom the Confed-
erates enlisted during the war of the Re-
bellion to act with the Arkansas troops.
But it is out on the plains, or near his
owa reseryittion, where the Indian scout,
a quasi -United States soldier, is seen in all
his glory ; made up of feathers, a blue uni-
fern), paint, a pony, a carbine, and an ap-
petite.
It was in the fall of 1874, down on the
Wichita, River in Indian Territory, that
the writer witnessed an eating bout among
a number of Indians that discounted any-
thing of the prodigal gluttony thab charac-
terized the hospitality of the clay of Athol -
stone and Cedric, the Saxon. The Eighth
Cavalry, ttvo squadrons; under command of
Major William Redwood Price, were camp-
ed on the *SVichita. They wore the Now
Mexican contingent to the command General
Nelson A. Miles had in the field operating
against the Cheyennes, Kiowas, Comanches,
and other Southern Indians. The Eighth
Cavalry had °lea or a dozen Navajoes along
with the command associate and trailers. The
chief was a handsome, lithe young Navajo,
very light complexioned the son of Delgedi-
ta, the war chief of the Navajoes. He bore a
longsonorous sounding name which had. been
Anglicized into "Tom," and he was a gen-
eral favorite around camp. The Navajoes
were then, as they are now the most civil-
ized Iudians in the country outside of
"the nations" in Indian Territory.
" Tom " dressed a la cowboy, did
not use paint, slept under home-
made blankets, and when at home
ate beef and mutton slaughtered from his
sire's herds, and partook of apricots and
peaches raised on the sunnysides ot the can-
yons of Western New Mexico. He talked
Mexican as well as any Rio Grande peon,
and didn't know a thing about "the sign
language" of the plains Indians, which was
the common and universal medium of com-
munication betweeu 'all "the blanket"
Indians in those days in the West.
While in the camp on the Wichita the
Eighth Cavalry had a visit from General
John W. Davidson of Fort Sill, commend-
ing the Tenth Cavalry. As the command
from Fort Sill came galloping down the de-
clivity on the east side of the Wichita and
through its " breaki " toward the Eighth
Cavalry camp, it presented a mostpictures-
que appearance. There was something about,
the scene to recall descriptions so vividly
portrayed in "Count Robert of Paris," or
The Talisman," civilization and barbarism
mixed, colors interiningled, and the general
glory of a uniformed, calvacade in rapid
motion. The advance guard --of the com-
mand consisted of two or three white officers
in command of a Negro cempany. of cavalry.
This advance was flanked by mounted In-
dianstfeathered, painted, and bedizzened,
to the number of two hundred or more.
The main column of the Tel Cavalry (col-
ored troops) followed, and the Eleventh
Infantry (white troops) brought ep the rear
, of the command, followed bypack mules and
a wagon train undera strong guard. The
Eighth Cavalry .had been out in the wilder-
ness for four to six Months, and greeted their
visitors with most hospitable cheer, er, cheer.
inMe-for, as a matter of fact, "the cheer"
in visiting between tine two camps was inore
generously bestowed by "the Tenth Nub-
ians" than. "Eighth Horse," for -the former
had come from a point where it could be.
bought in " original packages" more recent-
ly than the New Mexican' command.
'But while the two commands of regulars
were interchanging hostilities, tbe Indian
scouts of each ,eornmand were engared in
like endeavors: The TonkaWays, &chi.%
cages and Pawnees of General Davidson's
command had "never seen 'a Navajo, and
Chief " Tont", and his , eleven braves had
never, encountered one of those far east
Indian Territory denizens. They were
glad to see each other, all of the Indians,
of both commands " loving the pale lace
and Great Father." They could not talk
to each other, however. Happily, there

A Matter of Business.
It is in order just now to ask what is the
farmer's Imieiness and then, per contra,
what is tlae business of the farmer? This
is a distinction apparently without v, differ-
ence, but of that presently. • It was a well-
known fact that by intelligent management
and good judgment a majority of western
farmers could, nearly or quite double their
crops on the same acreage. Is it wise to do
so ? Here is room for a very interesting
discussion and for a consideration of points
of both moment mid value. It may be pre-
mised that by doubling the crops we may
not lucre:to the net returns; in other words
if our corn crop per acre was doubled it
does not follow that the farmers would got
any more money for it than theg do now.
And what is true of corn is equally true of
other creme, as of wheat, oats, hay, and the
like. If this be conceded what object has
the fanner in expending more labor in the
judicious preparation of the ground, in
manuring, cultivating, harvesting, etc.,
etc.? ewe
Now it is the business of the farmer to
raise a crop, and to that end broad is the
gate and narrow the way, and many there
bo who go in thereat. On the other hand
it is the farmer's business to so arrange his
work and afrairfi so as to be successful, not
only in making both ends meet, but as
well in securing that amount of profit from
Ids intelligent and well directed labor
which is everywhere and always the accom-
paniment of superior skill.
No good huainess man will overstock the
markee with any particular lino of goods,
knowing that it can only end in depreciat-
ing values. This, however, will never pre-
vent a merchant from getting, in variety, all
the goods his money will buy. No farmer
will try to depreciate the value of corn or
cotton, or of any other marketable commo-
dity by cultivating too much of one thing,
but lie may and can bcom every marketable
producb by diversifying his crops and mak-
ing every acre do its level best. This we
conceive to be the business of the farmer.
If one can raise on twenty acres of bald
1,000 bushels of corp and that is sufficient
for his perm:sea, there is no reason why he
should employ forty acres to do the work.
The other twenty aures can be used for an-
other crop just as necessary to his success,
say grass, hay, or other feeding crops. Corn
is not the best bone -making, flesh -building
food, but is the best fat.making food known
to the world. In the breeding and the build-
ing of our live stock, therefore, it is to be
used with caution, while a blue -grass pas.
ture, good timothy and clover hay, wheat
bran, oil -cake meat, oats, barley meal beans,
and peas are safe, reliable flesh formers and
meat makers.
This, it will be seen, suggests a diversity
of crops, affords opportunity for a proper
rotation, to replenish rather than exhaust
the soil fertility, and build up rather than
destroy the farm and the farmers' business.
It suggests more, vastly more ; for in run-
ning the same crop ou the same land year
after year we not only exhaust the plant
food called for by oue crop, but breed the
meets which are krown to destroy it.
" We have passed the pioneer age and
stage and have to knuckle down to business
and compete with the best. We are indeed
at the stage where brains win and brawn
without brains loses. Our farms must not
alone produce all they are capable of, but so
do it as year by year to produce more and
in the doing make the farmer more money.
The farmer's business then is to make a
crop, but the business of the farmer is, as
the business of the merchant and of any
other man, to so work as that the crop he
makes shall be Conducive to hid men suc-
cess andeto that of any other farmer in the
land."

This is a sighe to be aeon only on the
picturesque island of the Bermudas. There
these flowers are raised as a regular field
crop. In value and in the esteem of the
inhabitants they comenoxt to the potato,
though both are less esteemed than the
onion, which is the staple crop of the islands.
No more beautiful sight can be imagined
than at this season of the yeier greets the
eye of the traveler as he comes suddenly
upon one of these fields, hundreds of yards
square, and a mass of mese fragrant white.
Unfortunately, the lily fields are aob in
the most -profitable state. The beautiful
bloom represents to its owners waste, for
the lilies should be marketed in the form of
buds. They are cut from the steins and
packed in eases, sixty-four in a box, and
sent by express all over the United States.
If kept in a cool, dry place the buds will
remain without opening for several weeks,
while by being placed in water they can
be brought to perfection in a day or two;
or, if the water is slightly warmed, in a few
hours. This fortunate peculiarity. of the
lily has inade it possible for it to be trans-
ported, notwithstanding the long journey.
The culture was introduced only a few years
ago upon the Bermudas by an American
gentleman, Gen. Hastings. Some ot the
largest fields are still owned by this geed°.
man, and it is said that on one of them at any
time in the season over 100,000 lilies may
be seen in bloom at the same time.

swimmer in t,he seas. It has been observed
to dart through the water at a rate com-
puted to be much greater than twenty miles

The Crisis in ltaly.—The Behring Sea
: Matter.
Very genuine nervousness is felt in the
governing centres of Europe over the col-
lapse of the Italian Ministry. There could
hardly be any other Parliamentary event
on the Coutinent which wbuld create equal
nterest e,nd aueiety. It has been recog-
nized for a long 'tiine—indeed, quite from
the beginning—that the weak point in the
triple alliance was the' increasing diffi-
culty Italy experienced in keeping up her
monetrons armament. Outsiders see no
valid reason why Italy should be so poor.
In fact, magazine writers of other nations
are ell the while explaining to Italy a
hundred and one ways in which she might
become extremely prosperous. Unfortu.
aately, for one reason or another, this re-
curring avalanche of good advice is always
wasted., Italy continues to get poorer than
ever. Every year, too, it becomes more
difficult to keep the burdened nation docile
under the towering load. of taxation which
is levied in order to keep the Germans in
Alsace and Lorraine and the Russians out
of Galicia. and Bulgaria.
The Standard's Sebastopol correspondent
to -day declares that Russia is now sending
a ateady strew of troops from the interior
to a western frontier, and t'aet the calling
out ef the reserves in the far inland dis-
tricts has already beguu. This confirms a
great lot of information which has been
reaching me during the Spring from three
different parts of the empire. Of course, it
is always open to explain these movements
by the exigencies of the famine, but no otie
in authority in Western Europe is simple
enough to believe Russia has not mischief
in mind if events seem to invite it. Reports
of bad blood on the Russo -German frontier
become such commonplaces Imre that
the newspapers put them in small type.

Bermondsey the othernight by attacking the
attitude of the United States on the Bali'
ring Sea question. He said that Lord Sal-
isbury had shown himself eager and able
to protect British subjects thousands of
miles away against the presumptions of
American statesmen, and for this all Eng-
lishmen at home anti abroad owed him a
debt of gratitude. After referring to the
alleged supineness of Liberal governments
under similar circumstances, the speaker ex:
claimed ;
"There is no sea in the world where Bri-
tish ships may not sail. Wherever the
the open sea, ebbs and flows the flag of
Great, Britian may wave over her sailors.
For refusing to recognize the contention
of the United States that any sea should be
dosed to British ships, Lord Salisbury
merits the admiration of all loyal English-
men."
The effect of this ontburst was surprishig.
The audience rose, shouting and cheering.
Men waved their hats and women wa.Ved
their handkerchiefs, while at the rear of
the buildrag the people began singing.
"For he's a jolly good fellow." The de'
monstration lasted several minutes, drown-
ing the speaker's voice three times when he
tried to l'OS111110 his address. When Sir
Edward stopped speaking the audience
cheered and applauded and shouted the
more.
Mild Labor in mute.
There are no laws against child labor in
China. They begin to work as soon as they
walk. A boy or girl at 4 years of age will
carry the baby "piggy -back" half an hourabit time and mind it from dawn till dusk.
They also hunt up the pig when he is lest,
lead the water buffalo, or tend a herd of
sheep with almost the same encase as a
grown man. They work in the garden,
bring water from the wells, destroy locusts,
caterpillars and slugs, pull out the weeds,
and in every way show themselves excelleat
horticulturists in miniature.

Daus Sre,—Your " Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills'
are the best regulator for the system that humanit)
can use. Life is as the time piece: frail and delicate
are many of its works. A tiny particle of forogti
substance adheres to the smallest wheel in tl,eworks
and whatis theresult ?—at first, 9nly a slight difference
is perceptible in its time -keeping, but wait you ; at
the obstruction grows, the irregularity becomes
greater, until atlas!, Ve hat could have been rectified
with little trouble, ut the beginning, will now require
much care in thoroughly cleansing the entire works,
So it is in human life—a slight derangement is neg.
lected, it grows and increases, imp.erceptibly at first,
then rapidly, until what could, m the beginning,
have been cured with little trouble, becomes almost
fatal. To prevent this, I advise all to purify the
system frequently, by the use of Morse's Pills, and
so preserve vigor and vitality.
Yours faithfully
F.' ATWELL.
