MOUNTAIN MEADOW. Tho Story of h Notorious Mor mon Massacre, How More than One Hundred Emigrants wera Treacherously Butchered. Early in Heptember, 1857, the com pany of emigrant* that had Iwcn ordered out of Kalt bake valley, and cotn|>e led to take the southern route to the coast, entered the meadowa and encamped with the intontian of resting and recruiting before crowing tho desert. Nothing o< curved to alarm thorn the first day, ami when nijflil fill they took no precautions except am hasha I I>ecn customary with them during the journey. The valley teemed a haven of safety, and they laid down to rest with thankful hearts, but while they slept a plot for their destruc tion was maturing. The Nauvoo legion, obedient to “orders from hca I quarters," had surrounded the unsuspecting emi grants on every side. A portion of th • legion, painted and disguis' d as Indians, had been sent on in company with sav ages h>, cni' l than them«l vs to attack the train. The remaining companies of Mormon militia had oth<r orders. At daybreak the guard nt the emigrants' camp perceived dark forms moving upon the surrounding hillsides. He aroused his comrades, and ns tho dusky figures showed moic plainly in llm growing light they decided that th -y were Indians ami that an attack was int-nded. It was nee t.iry to think an 1 act quickly, and a barricade was formed at once with the wagons of the company, but before their hurried preparations for defense were Completed the sharp crack of rifles and tie' whizzing of bullets denoted that the battle had begun. it was already only too plain that their assailants greatly out numbered them, and from savages, as they suppose I them to be, no quarter was exjiectcd, but love stronger than death nerved their arms and strengthened their hearts fur the c .nt< t. All day long the unequal battle raged. At night the fir ■ of the n-uulunt* slack ened, but the light from piles of burning sage brush showed that they still sur rounded the < migrants' camp on every •ide. Before sunrise a murderous rain ' of bullets recommenced, ami again con tinued until nightfall. Tho third day was a re|M't<tion of tho first, but on tho fourth day access to tho springs was cut oil, and th, horrors of death from thirst Stared them in the face, yet they fought with dosperato courage, and when the sun went down they still hel l their posi tion and kept the foe nt bay. The morning of tin' fifth day found them worn, exhmistel, tortured by burning thirst, but with hearts iu undaunted as ever. Late in the afternoon the steady firing of tho besiegers ceased, and when they looked out to ascertain tho causa, the) saw a party of white men approach ing, their leader bearing a flag of truce. Let it be remembered the emigrants had never doubted that their assailants w< r ■ Indians, and tho sight of whit'' men,cun Ing ns they bch veil to their rescue, was as welcome as a vision of angels. In answer to the flag of true" a little girl was drowsed in whit", and place 1 on on of the wagons. In view of what fol- ; lowed, this act was full of unutterable pathos. Truly, they ha I decked a lamb for sacrifice. The white men, as they drew near, prove I t > be a body of Mor mon militia, hilled by their officers, who were als > tho bishops of tho sur rounding settlements. They represented that they ha I don- 1 t' dr best to induce tin- “Indiu.s" to h ave, but they would not do so unless the ctuigr mts would agree to give up their property, sta -k their arms an 1 march out of tho valley under tho escort of tho militia.

P. mln »i> Uull-Fifhtera. A Pari* letter has the following; On ■ Monday the famous amphitheatre ui Nimc*, a monumental relic of old lt>- man time*, wa* full to repletion with a ■ crowd of excited Ixtings who had come to witness the skill and prowess of the Matador Fnito* and hi* compeer*. What win more, three torcra* were to appear, thi* Ix ing the first time that women have entered the arena! at Nime*. At 8 o’clock in the afternoon the petormance* le-gan with a grand proccietion of Spanish bull fighter*, male un i female, who rode proudly into the inclosed space to tho sound of military music. Three torcra* in fancy costumes, all sparkling with fili gree and bangles, headed the pr< cession. Then came the quadrille, comported of five toreador*, headed by the gr at Fru to* himnelf, in gorgeous habiliments. At the sound of a bugle a splendid black bull of crossed Spanish breed bounded snorting into the ring. The women im mediately set to work with their bande rillas which they flung at the face and laxly of tiie careering toro. Tho tips of th" animals horn* wer.i covered with round knobs of wood or leather while the women were plying their dart* no as to prevent accident*, but the protections were afterwards removed in some in stance* while tho men were performing. A second bull, a red one, which was next let loose, made straight at one of the to reran, a young woman professionally des ignated Scnorita Benita del Amo, and knocked her over in a second, but not, however, before she had succeeded in planting two lance-headed pennons be tween his eye*. The woman was disen gaged with surprising deftness by her male companions, ami returned to the charge with a courageous persistence worthy of Madame <le Valsayrc herself. She was loudly applauded by the public for her performance. A fresh bull was introduced, which brought out the finer play of Frutos, whose first proceeding was to clear the bull with a pole as easily a* if he were clearing a fence. lie th'-n simulated death by lying still on th" ground, escaping with marvellous adroitness as tho bull came near him with ferocious intent. The torcra Benito del Amo then sat on a chair in the middle of the arena and calmly awaited the on slaught of a fresh animal. In the twink ling of an eye she was caught on the bull's horns and was tossed high into the air, falling stunned to the ground. This was the most deplorable part of the per formance, and no more serious accidents occurred. Tho quadrille of men in stantly attracted the bull's attention from his prostrate prey, and the woman was quickly sprinkled with water or vinegar, and rose apparently uninjured from the ground. Iler light clothes were torn to shreds. Frutos repeat-d the chair move ment, but, more adroit than the woman, lie nimbly sprang aside before the bull could bear down on him, and just es caped a terrible horn-thrust. Six bulls tn nil were let loose during the afternoon. The woman's performances were great failures, and it is to be hoped that from motives of humanity these show* may be at least confined to men, if they are to bo continued nt Nimc*. Praise the Boy. It often costs on" quite a struggle to do his simple duty ; an I when one does his simple duty in spite of his temptations to do dill re itly, lie deserves credit for his doing. Oic has n > need to live long in this world before finding out this truth. A bright little boy about two and a half years old recently showed that he apprehended it. lie was on tho eve of doing something that was very tempt ing to him. “No, my son; you niusn’t do that," said his father." The little fellow looked as if he would like to do it in spite of his father’s pro hibit on; but he tr i uphvd over his in clination, and answered resolutely; “AU right, papa; 1 won’t do it." There was no issue there, and the father turned to sum thing else. The boy wait' d a minute, and then said, in a tone of surprised inquiry: “Papa, why don’, you tell me, “that's a good boys" The father accepted the suggestion, and i omm md I in- on accordingly. A just recognition of a child's well doing is a parent’s du y, even th ugh the child's well doing ought not to hinge on such a r'eogniton Andas with little folks, so with larger ones.

Writing from Darjeeling to Auture, ‘ the Honorable ili ph Abercrombie says: “Three case* have c one u ider my per sonal observation in which brown-skiuu d natives, in very diiTerent parts of the world, blacken their faces to prot ct them from the intense light and heat." The examples he gives are those of tho ■ inhabitants of Morocco, as well as of others along tho north of Africa, who blacken themselves around the eyes to avert ophthalmia from the g are of hot sand.

For the late crop the soil is fouud the best for blanching. In this it is necessary to use judgment about killing up. It will not do to commence it while the weather is too hot and wet as there is danger of its rotting. It should never be banked while the stocks arc at al wet. I'otiikK < «>!•■• When the young colts arrive some pains should be taken to rear them in the best manner. There is considerable mortality among young colts which nay be avoi led. This mostly occurs ameng farmers whose mares are nt work in .he field. The rearing of colts upon firms is just now a very profitable business ami is to be encouraged by good advice and wise management. The best wiy is to have the colts run with the mares and to give the mares an occasional rest for the colts to suck. When tho colts are shut up and turned to the mare at noon and night only the milk is heated by the hard work of the mare, and the ud der is distended, often painfully and both mare and colt suffer. The mi k is also less in quantity, for when a colt sucks six or eight times in a day the sup ply of milk will easily be double the quantity given when the colt is tamed to the mare only twice a day. B.sides, when the colt accompanies the nare it becomes used to its surroundings ii the field and on the road, and takes it- first lessons for its future training.— Neic York Times. <'nmj»nctin* I.nnd for Corn- On the question of the ration ie of corn growing, a correspondent of the National Stockman has the fol lowing. “Corn wants dry land even more than wheat or other small grains. This is in part because only as the soil is dry can it be got to a high temperature early in the season. One of the important advan tages from planting corn on sod, or over a mass of coarse manure, is that those under the furrow keep the soil porous, and thus admit the warmer hr to the roots. On any heavy soil the plowing for corn should be shallow, and after plowing it should not be rolled or other wise packed, except as is necessary in cultivating to m ike a mellow seed bed. I have often seen the line where a stone boat was drawn across a fi ll for corn after plowing distinctly visible by the smaller plants where tho soil was too much compressed. This was when rains had already sufficiently compacted the soil; but this is the condition of most common lands containing some clay. In a very dry time, after planting corn, this result might be reversed, but even then the improvement would be more due to better tilth than to compacting of the surface. I think much of the roller for other crops, but it is not adapted to corn on land as heavy as moct of mine.’’ Tllr snevp <iail-l ly. The sheep gad-fly appears during the summer months. It is not unlike the small horse fly in appearance, the color being light ash, dotted an 1 lined with I lack. After mating, the female so ks to deposit her young about the nose of the sheep. The animals show their worry from the-e insects by shaking their droop ing heads and stamping their feet, and often, in fact, by flight. The bots are said to pass up th nose by means of hooks and spines, causing an increased flow of n u us, on which they feed. The mag gots when full grown are about an inch in 1 ngth. Youatt and Clark deny that special harm is wrough by these bots, but this denial does not correspond with the observations of leading sheep men, who, Prof. Cook declares, are correct in tho opinion that the bots do serious in jury to the animal, and when very nu merous, especially if they pass to the brain, may, an 1 frequently do, cause death. When suffering from this cause the sheep lose their appetite, seem in clined to butt, and these symptoms are followed by stupor and great weakness. The mouth and nasal membranes be come inflamed and there is an unusual di charge from the nose. To render the animals exempt from the attack, sheep men have practised, with good effect, tarring their noses. The operation is simplified by boring two inch holes into , logs, into which salt is placed and the edges then siuearevl with tar. In reach ing for the salt the sheep receive* the ap ■ plication. Cuittcalor. Tua Mi ape as lha I’JaW. The shape of the plow i* important. Thi* fact ha* now come to be so cleariy acknowledged that plow* are made wilh especial reference to the kind of work to be done. There is the prairie breaker, adapted to tough sod ; the sward plow, in two principal forms, i* for fl it and lapfur rows, and stubble-plows in great variety, from thecurvethat carries the furrow slice gradually into the position in which it is to be left, to that which carries the slice shapely up and then thrusts it sideways and over into position. The next im portant means is the double furrow trench plow, which is simply one plow before another on the same beam. The first plow takes a rather thin furrow, which, with a sharp turn, throws the trash, or a thin skim of sod, into the bot tom of the proceeding furr -w. The true or thick furrow slice immediately follows, covering all closely in. Another variety is the trench-plow proper, or deep tiller, designed for special crops when extra deep tillage is necessary in connection with heavy manuring, or for orchard cultivation. Such plowing should never be undertaken unless you are sure the depth of soil will fully warrant the depth of plowing, for the turning up of the under soil often produces infertility for years, especially in stiff clays, unless large amounts of manure are used. It is far better to get depth of tiith by means of the true subsoil plow, which, running in the bottom of a furrow, loosens, raises, an<Zpulverizes the subsoil, but leaves it in the same position it originally had. Thus the soil may be pulverized to any depth the strength of the team will allow. But neither this nor trench-p'.owing is admissib e on soils that ever become thoroughly water-soaked, since soil saturated with water for any considerable length of time inevitable runs together, thus destroying its pcrmealrslity. It is only within the last forty years that improvements have been originated that have made American plows superior to any other made for the purpose required in turning and disintegrating all soils, from the lighter sandy soils to the toughest clays. Useful Hint* on Checse-Maklnu. In an essay on cheese-making, delivered by J. B. Harris, Antwerp, N. Y., before the Ontario Dairymen’s Association, a number of useful hints were given that can hardly fail to prove of assistance to many readers. Some are here presented in brief. For summer and fail cheese, Mr. Har ris uses rennet enough to produce coagu lation in fifty minutes, with the milk ata temperature of from 86 to 88 degrees. In the spring, when making fodder cheese, be uses one-third more rennet and less salt. His reasons for this difference is to facilitate the ripening process, in order that the cheese may be ready for market at the earliest day possible. Four ounces of rennet for summer and six ounces for spring, with salt in proportion, is Mr. Harris’s own rule. Two messes of milk produced on dis ferent soils, although treated the same, will produce cheese more or less variable as regards moisture. The maker of the cheese must regulate the matter by vari ations in cutting, scalding and stirring. For instance, when it is known that moisture predominates in the milk of any given dairy it is advised to cut finer, scald more and stir longer. Stirring ought to begin directly after cutting and continue from ten to fifteen minutes before heating and go on for half an hour continuously, and say ten more after the heat is withdrawn. It is advised to heat slowly at first, gradually increasing as the whey sepa rates. The heat must be kept up until the curd is matured and then well aired before salting. The usual temperattire in summer is 98 degrees, but as the season advances and the milk becomes richer it is necessary to go as high as 100 degrees. A great secret in cheese mak ing is to draw the whey at the first indi cation of acidity. After the whey is removed and while the subsequent stirring proceeds, a new acid makes its appearance in the body of the curd, which seems to depend for its development upon the action of the air, and the presence of which experience has shown to be an essential element in the make-up of cheeie. This acid should l>e allowed to develop properly before the addition of salt, as the presence of that substance will preclude its appear ance. Curd should contain about 35 per cent, moisture when pressed, and dry out down to 33 per cent, when cured. To determine and retain this proper proportion of moisture requires judg ment and practice. Household Hint*. Borax water whitens and softens the hands. Linseed oil will remove rust from a stove-pipe. To make paper stick to a wall that has been whitewashed, wash in vinegar or saleratus water. When clothes are scorched remove the stain by placing the garment where the sun can shine on it. Furniture needs cleaning oftentimes. It mar be washed off with wann Castile soapsuds, a small place at a time, quickly rubbed dry and then gone over with an oily cloth. 1 s remove candle grease from furni ture without injuring the varnish, rub it off with a little warm water and a rag. Iteclp* s« DroiM V cl'■re/.—Frc«hen by soaking in water over night. In tue morning dry it and cut off the head and tip of tail, place it between the bars of a but tered ti-h gridiron and byoil to a light brown; lay it on a hot dish and dress with a little butter and pepper. Toatted Potatou.—Cuf whatever num ber may be needed of cold, boiled ]iota toes into slices lengthwise, about a quarter of an inch thick; dip each slice in flour, and lay them between a w.re toaster. Have the fire clear, and when both sides are nicely browned, lay the slices on a hot dish, put a piece of butter on each, and season with pcppei and salt. To Pldclt Plums, Peaches, and other Fruits. — One-half a pound of sugar to one pound of fruit. Put the fruit in a tin pail or earthern jar with the vinegar and spices. Use stick cinnamon, whole cloves and allspice, cover with vinegar and put it into boiling water and let it remain till the fruit is soft. Take out the fruit, boil the syrup down and pour it over the fruit while hot. Pigs' Feet.— Put four feet in a sauce pan with cold water, pepper corns, whole cloves and allspice, adding salt, and boil them until the bones are loose. Remove all the bones and put tho meat in a stone jar. Strain one quart of the water in which the fee’, were boiled, add one pint of vinegar and boil for five min utes. At the end of this time turn the vinegar and water over the meat from the pigs’ feet, completely covering it, and keep in a cool place. The mass will be like jelly, and is cut as needed. If desired, it may be put in bowls and turned out on the dish before serving. A Belle of the Frontier. Truly America developes some strange characters. There came to New York some time ago a woman with a history that reads like a romance. She is the daughter of Gen. Malcolm Clarke, of the regular army, who was killed by an Indian whom he had befr'ended some years ago and who left a family of eight children, the result of his marriage with an Indian squaw. Miss Helen Clarke, the eldest of these children, was educa ted at a convent in Cincinnati and is possessed of a very brilliant mind and unusual histrionic talent, and came here to prepare herself for the stage, which she proposes adopting as a profession. Her presence wherever she appeared in the city never failed to attract attention, as her looks proclaim the Indian beyond a doubt. Tall, straight, sinewy, with wiry black hair and the unmistakable Indian features, she presented a remark able appearance, especially when ele gantly attired. She is well known in the West, where her father's bravery won for himself and children a name, and in Montana, where she was born and still lives, she holds the position of Com missioner' of Public Schools, her duties in this capacity necessitating her travel ing much alone over that wild mountain country’ on horseback, with a revolver' in her belt. On one of these pleasant lit tle jaunts, while going through a lonely spot known as Prickly Bear Canon one misty November morning, Miss Ciarke discovered the bodies of five road agents hanging from limbs of trees where they had been made to answer to the Vigilan te for their crimes the night previous, a sight that would have rather shaken the nerves of a New Y'ork society woman, but this child of the howling West was too well accustomed to life on the border to be frightened at anything of that sort and rode calmly on. Her father and one of her brothers were shot down before her, and from her infancy she has been used to danger. She is highly connected on her father’s side and inherits fortune from him, while her mother still remains with her tribe, the Black Feet Indians. While here Miss Clarke was for some time the guest of Gen. and Mrs. Palmer, the latter being her cousin. She thought New York life tame and New York wo men rather uninteresting. They lacked the nerve that constitutes one of the chief charms of a Western belle of whom Miss Clarke is a fair sample.— Neio York Herald. City Cows Causing Consumption. The Council of Health has reported in favor of the expulsion of all dairy cows from Paris, and only the toleration of a very few, the owners of which can show exceptional conditions of salubrity. There arc upwards of 5000 of these ani mals in the capital, and they arc found to be a prolific source of pulmonary con sumption. The milk of a great number of them was alive with the bacillus, which wastes the tissues of cows and human beings attacked with phthisis. A syndicate of dairymen who have taken stables which they use for byres on long leases cry out in the name of vested rights against the hardship of their busi n?ss being broken up and no compensa tion granted. It has been suggested that M. Pasteur might find a means of subduing phthisis, and thus rendering it safe to drink the milk which is drawn from cows kept in confinement. The Council of Health has, however, turned a deaf <ar to the suggestion, and will continue to do so.— London Telegraph. A CLOSE SHAVE. The Story Told by a Secret. Service Detective. Shadowing a Woman Suspected of Try lCs to Poison a Cabinet Officer. In the summer of 1863 a member of the Cabinet received a basket of flo Wf . r at his desk. They were placed on q ie desk while he was at lunch, and the co' ored attendant who received them stated that he took them from the hands of well-dressed boy. They were flowers of which the official was particularly f on( i and he spent some time admiring th# gift and inhaling the perfume. Withi a a quarter of an hour he was taken sui. denly ill and had to be sent home i n s carriage. There were several storie* whispered about, but I believe, fro a what followed, that the bouquet was p oned and had been sent in in hopes to cause his death. He was done up sotf ot four or five days anyhow, and I received orders to make every effort to hunt dow a the person who had sent in the bouq Uet It was little I had to encourage me ii the start. I got a description of the boy, however, and after a day or two [ found people of whom lie had inquired his way from the station to the Secrc tary’s office. It was easy enough after that to trace him as having come o* from Baltimore. He came alone and he had the bouquet in a band-box. The bouquet was tied with a grass cord and I took this cord and went to Baltimore and scarcely rested a moment until I had seen the owner of every green-house. [ applied to twenty or more before I found the one who had put up the flowers. I[ e remembered the circumstance, identified the cord and described the burer as a handsome-looking lady about 35 years of age who had come in a hack. The vehi cle was dra'wn by a white and a bay horse, and inside of two hours I had found the driver. He described the lady about as the florist had done, and added that she had gold-filled front teeth, blue eyes, a little scar on her chia and was sharp and decisive in her speech. She had taken the hack at the stand and left it at the same place. If this woman intended the death of tjie official she had gone to the green house in an attire selected for the occa sion, and one she would not wear again on the street. I hung about the variow hotels until certain that she was not a guest at any of them, and then I could only trust to accident for success. On two occasions I caught sight of a face in a carriage which answered the descrip tion and followed the vehicle without success. Each time it escaped me by rapid driving. Again I caught sight of the lady on the street. She entered n dry goods store and I followed. She soon passed out and I was at her heels, but she dodged into a crowd gathered about the scene of an accident anil lost her. An hour later I suddenly dis covered that I was being shadowed. I did considerable walking, turning and dodging before I would admit that this was the case, but I finally had to ac knowledge that the hunter was being hunted. My “Shadow" was a medium-sized man abont 40 years old, well dressed, respectable looking, and doing his work in the neatest manner. He did not lose sight of me until he saw me enter my hotel, where I brought up about six o’clock in the evening. I had no clue connecting the man with the woman I was looking after, but it was natural for me to infer that there was some connec tion. I wrote out and made my daily report, ate supper, smoked a cigar, and then started for the theatre. It wouldn’t be at all strange if I found my lady there—even if I had the seat next to her. I was within twenty feet of the door of the theatre when a rough and ragged-looking man, who certainly spoke in a disguised voice, stopped mo and said: “Mister, I'm a discharged soldier, and I’ve been sick and am out of money- Won’t you buy this revolver of me sot $3?" He pulled the weapon from his pock et and shoved it towards me, muzzle first. Before I could comprehend the full import of his words there was a flash and a report, and I was dimly con scious of falling. Four or five minutes later I came to myself to find that s crowd had gathered, and that I was 1° the hands of a doctor. A bullet from that, revolver had plowed along ®. 7 skull, making a wound which laio ® e off for a month.
