Large vs. Sraall Farms.
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.

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,

literally been stripped of everything

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

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. Both
dishes make UP excellent dinner at a
cost of about twenty-five cents, includ-
