An Illinois correspondent states that one man in his county owns and farms 700 acres of land, and "makes more money than any other seven men who together oWn an equal area," Thelatter part of this statement was denied by another correspondent in a succeeding issue of the same paper, the writer taking the position that seven men working for their own individual inter- ests coal& farm better and make more money on 700 acres than one man could by employing labor that had no interest in the business. Now this is a questionable statement, whether the preceding one is or not. One thing is certain, that the man Who owns the large farm will have the mast profit. In these days of improved ma- chinery, when all the varied labor of the farm is done largely by horse and. steam power, the 'advantage is all withathe -large farmers Who raise grain, as it has always been the stock farnaer. The small farmer can't afford to fit himself out with a complete assortment of the labor-saving machinery. It requires an investnaentof toe much money. The owner of a hundred acres, who buys a mower and reaper, hay rake, horse fork, sulky plow, etc.,—just what the average farmer regards as indispensable —finds it a severe tax upon his income. He may have just enough landato cultivate to pay interest on his investment on ma- chinery—just enough hay to out, for in- stance, to justify the purchase of a ma- chine, rake, etc.—but in all this there is no profit. Improved. raaehinery has rendered grain farming on a large seale, not only possible, but profitable. Twenty- ve years ago, when men accomplisl4ed everything by the hardest manual lab r, the -grain farmer found. eighty or a h u- dred acres to be all he could well attend to. But the advent of maehinery 1as changed tile conditions. Now one man with a team that then steed idle, can acconaplish as much in a day as five men could then. The possibility of managing largenreas in grain-farraing has been fully demonstrated in the West where we can enumerate thousands of men who count their land by the square miles instead of acres, and who have also demonstrated that grainfarming on a large scale is a most profitable busi- ness. ' Of course much depends upon the erecutiveability of the owner, It requires more of this to run a -large farm successfully than it does to manage a factory or store or bank, though of a dif- ferent kind. Only one thing appears to be lacking now to make farming on a large scale not only the most profitable, but abso- lutely necessary to profit—and that is the steam plow of general adaptation. When this conies, and ten acres can be turned over and prepared for the seed at the same expense one acre is now, the cost of production will have been re.: duced to such a point, that it will he im- possible for the man who uses the com- mon plow to compete with it. What tvould be profit in the one case would be loss in the other, for with a decrease in the cost or production will come a cor- responding decrease in the price of the product. This is exemplified in nearly all other departments of productive in- dustry, where machine labor has:ahnost entirely superseded hand labor, and we have no reason to ;suppose that agricul- ture will prove an exception to the rule. —Practical Farmer. Savage Modes of Prayer. The Sioux Indians abusing their Great Spirit for sending them storms, or the, Karasohadals cursing Kuta for having created the 'mountains so high and the streams so rapid, expose a state of thought relating to tee gods which it is difficult to reconcile witth the savage's habitual dread of them, bat which is too well authenticated to admit of doubt.. Franklin -saw a Cree hunter tie offerings fa cotton handkerchief, looking -glass, tin pan some ribbon, and tobacco,) to the vaiue of twenty skins, round an imaa f the, god Kepoochikan, at the san.ie time praying to him in a rapid, ram oto3aous tone, to be propitious, ex- ing to him the- value of his presents and strongly cautioning him against in- gratitude. If the prayers and presents made to their god by the Tahitians to save their chiefs froni dying proved in vain, his image was inexorably banished from the temple and aestroyed. The Ostiaks of Siberia, if things went badly with them, would pull down from the place of honor in the hut and in every way maltreat the idols they generally honored so mush; the idols, whose mouthe were always ao diligently smear- ed with fish fat, and within whose reach a constant supply of snuff lay always ready. The Chinese are said to do tbe same by their household gods, if for a long time they- are deaf to their prayers, and so do the Chinghalese, so that the practice is more than an impulsive manifestation of na.erely local feeli,„ Some Algonkin Indians, mistaking ouci3 a missionary for a god, and pets. tion,ing his mercy, begged him to let the 1 earth yield them corn, and the rivers f s5h, and to prevent sickness from slay- fng or hunger from tormenting I them. i Their request they backed with tip offer of a pipe. The whole of the sa,vage's philosophy of saciifice is contesed in this ridiculous incident. Prescott com- ing with some Indians to a lake they were.to cross, saw hie companions light their pipes and smoke, by way of invok- ing the windato be calm. And the Hu- rons offered aeimilar prayer with tobac- co to a local ' god, saying, , " Oki, thou who livest on this spot, vtis offer thee tobacco. Help us, save us froin ship- wreck. Defend us from -our enemies. Give usk goodtrade, and bring us safe back to our 'villages." In the Island of Tanua, the '-rvillage priest, addressing. the spirits of departed chiefs (thought to preside over the growth of yams and fruits), after the first fruits of vegetation had. been deposited on a stone, on the branch of a tree, or on a rude altar of sticks, would pray, "Compassionate father, here is some food; eat it and be kind to us on account of it ;" and in Sa- moo too, a libation of ava at the.evening meal was the offering, in return for which the father of a family would beg of the gods health and prosperity, pro- ductiveness for his plantations, and for his tribe generally a strong and large:, population for war.. In Fiji, again, when the chief priests and leading men assembled to discuss the public affairs in the yaquona or kava circle, the chief herald, as the water was poured into the kava, after naming the god e for whorrahe hbation was prepared, would say, "Be gracious, ye lords, the gods, that the rain , may cease, and. the sun shine forth;" and again when the po- tion. was ready, 'Let the gods be of a gracious mind, and send a wind from the east. Household Furniture. Experience tells ns that furniture will be more likely' o prove satisfactory if simple and graceful rather than elabor- ate and extravagant in design. There is no economy in buying inferior, ill - made articles because they are cheap. They will either get to look shabby or will need repair in a very short time, and in the end will prove the more expen- sive. All articles of furniture should in size, material and shape, be suited to their position and surroundings—and they should harmonize well with each other. Excepting in very large rooms, or in conformity with a fixed idea, large patterns, extrevant designs,and striking colors should' be avoided. Subdued (but not dingy) colors and small patterns are much safer than large masses of color, and the brightness of the room should depend upon the table - covers, books, flowers and other orna- ments rather than upon the color of the carpets and curtains. Large furniture is (Alt of place in a small room. The designs for carpets and floor -cloths should be adapted for horizontal sur- faces and for being trodden on. In a dining room the patterns and colors should be rich, deep and warm. In a drawing room they should be light and delicate. When they have a motherly aspect, the colors in the dining -room should not be too dark or sombre; in the drawing room they Should= not be cold. Bedrooms should be bright, airy and cheery. In, all the rooms:the fur- niture should not be too much crowded, and stiffness should be avoided. as much as possible. . A Bigamy Case. A curious case of bigamy came up at the Glasgow Cirouit Court recently. A lad named Dewar was charged with having married a girl in April last,know- ing at time that he was the husband of another woman still alive, This pre- cocious genius was bustled into a mar- riage before he was fifteen. He lived with his wife four years, and became the father of as many children, before entertaining doubts of the legality of the contract. Then it dawned upon him that the service had been peformed ir- regularly. There had been no publica- tion of the harms, and the service had been conducted by a person on the South Side, who calla himself a doctor of med- icine, and professes to be a minister, but whose claims to either title were subjected to incredulous queries at the trial. Doubts engendered. by these facts, possibly aided by the same influences which rendered Henry the Eighth so scrupulous on the wore of marriage ceremonies, led him to discard his wife and take another. There was no deni- al of the fact that he did. so, and there was no whitewashing the stubborness of the Scotch law, which gives as much ef- feet to an irregular marriage as to one seaemnized with due regard to form. Dewar, who seems to have been rightly designated "Daft Davie" in his earlier years, has twelve months seclusiou af- forded him in which to realize the un- welcome truth that any Scotch boy above fourteen may be inveigled or co- erced. into a contract which shall last him through life. ' • Indian Depredations. Denver, October 4.—The following from Wallace, Kansas, referring to the band of Indians which left the reserva- tion near Fort Reno, has just been -re- ceived : Indians crossed the Kansas Pacific Railroad on SundaY morning going north. When about 25 miles north of Buffalo Station, they com- menced killing ' settlers, and so far 17 dead bodies have been found along Sap pa Creek. The Indians do not go out of their way at , all to kill white peo- ple, but if th0 meet a man on horse- back they kiil him and take his horse. The treops are pressing them closely. • Denver, Col., October 4.—The In- dians east of this place and north of the -Kansas Pacific Railroad, since the fight in which Col. Lewis was killed, have been burning and murdering ranchmen, slaughtering battle and running off horses. _It is eported that soldiers and citizens reached. the Indians'yesterday, and in the fight Lieut. Broderick was badly wounded and six men killed. It is probable the entire militia of the State will be ordered out. Camp Robinson, Nev., October 4.—It would appear that the hostile Indians now pursuedby troops are endeavoring to reach the new Red Cloud Agency on Wolf Creek, 57 miles from 'Camp Rob- inson. They may succeed in out - marching - the troops, being better mounted and having nearly 500 stolen horses. Yankton, October 4.—Dr. agent ofTRed Cloud Indians,' arrived to- day, says the Indians number over 6,400. Irwin believes the renegade Cheyennes are intending to join the Indians at Pass Creek, and should this occur, there is serious trouble ahead for the Black Hills and other frentier settlements. N11.0P6ke, gives a summ eeial, dated October 6, ry of outrages committed by Indians sell() went north a day or two ago. 7, ey started northwest to Decatur Cou ty, and raided settlements there. Theii main depredations were on Sapp& Cr ek. Every residence; for, twelve miles was plundered, and al- most everytlijng destroyed; all the cat- tle stamped , and what of the crop was left by theIniians has been eaten up or destroyed y the stock. The num- ber of people silled is not yet known, but the bodies of the following have been found and brought to Abeline and buried: H. P. Humphrey, James G. Laning, Win., Laning, Thos. Meskelly, Mr. Lute, M cellns Fell, M. F. Aber- nothy, Mr. Irwin. Two other members of the Lanin family have been killed, and their mo her brutally outraged by the Indians. John Marshall and a man named Ste and F: Walte a and Mr. Wright miss- ing. The honse of H. D. Column was surrounded by Indians, but he and his wife, with a shot -gun and revolvers, de- fended the hense till they drove the In- dians away, killing or wounding several. Other similar cases have occurred. Nearly all tbe settlers along Sappa Creek have *len refuge in Abeline, and are being cared for. They have literally been stripped of everything they possesse St. Paul, Minn. October 6.—Reports ? have been re3eived at military head- quarters here, that both the Spotted Tail and Re Cloud Sioux have left their reservat ons and. are moving west. directly tow cls the Black Hills. The supposition isthat they are about to join the fugitive Cheyennes hi a de- scent upon the Hills. Much sympLithy is felt. Terrible Sufferings of a Tarred. +and. Ireathered Man. , ' W. J. Jon, s, who was tarred and feathered by eno people and then sent out of town on the westward -bound train, was in pitiable condition when he reached Tluokee. We saw the -vic- tim onthe ov rland train. He was in a truly pitiab e condition. Coal tax or gas tar had b en used and used freely. This substance blisters like a 'mustard plaster: Th cuticle will peel off Mr. Jones just as if he had been boiled. His face, neck, anl we are told his entire body bad a t ick coating. The vigil- ances kindly lothed him before putting him on the t4in. The sight might have been ludicrouli if it hadnot beea agoniz- ing. . The tram was nearly three hours in reaching Tisickee. The pain endured by the poor 'fellow was excruciating. Sightless; hel less, coated with a horrid odoriferous s :bstance, he sat silently with his head bowed over. Oacasion- , ally his finger would grasp spasmodic- ally at the tar. Sometimehis body would twitch i nervoutly, as if from the pain he endur7d. Arriving at Truckee two colored en were put to work to rercovethe tar. It was an hour before Dr. Goss was 'palled and the linseed oil which he presbribed obtained. Every- body who sa the poor wretch pitied him. The vey monwho performed the deed. would h ve pitied him. His suf- ferings were xtreme. His eyes were fairly burning up. No one ever heard before of putting tar on a man's face and in his eyes. For six hours two men worked fitithf y neutralizing the tar and removing it from his body. We saw him this Inorning. His eyes were terribly infla ed. It is doubtful if he ever recovers his sight. It is feared the eye -balls have been burned and blistered stroye .—Truckee (Nev.) ive ent Dinner. an were badly wounded, and forever' Republican.

At the end of a quarter of an ho r, make as follows some NorfolkIdum lings : Mix by sift- ing together one po nd of flour, one tea- spoonful of alt, and two of baking - powder, (cost three cents), make into a soft dough, with one egg, half a pint of milk, and -a very little water, (cost four' cents), and drop them by the table- spoonful in the soup; be careful that the pot does not stop boiling, or the dumplings ' 1 be heavy. At the end of three-quai ars of an hour, stir to- gether over tile fire in a large saucepan one ounce each of butter and flour (cost two cents) and when they are nicely browned, gradually add, and mix with an egg -whip dr large fork, o pint of the boiling soup. Take up the meat and dumplings on the same dish, strain the soup into the fiance you have just made, and mix it th roughly ; put a little of it over the mea1 and dumplings, and serve the rest in a a up tureen; it is very nice with small di essof toast in it.
