probable they were swamped. The

An exchange truly says that im

easiest and quickest way to make
money on western farms. With the
land largely in grass and pasture, but
little labor is required to secure the
crop. Good stock and good grass im
prove the land, while the continual
gtowing of small grains impoverishes
the farm and farmer. Improved stock
heads the great march of progress ai»
over our western states. It is both
pleasant and profitable.

Humored Sale of The Manitoba.
Again it is rumored that the Munitob
road is for sale. In a recent issue o*
the Pioneer Press we find the follow
ing. There has beeu so much said
the Manitoba road to other parties oi
corporations, that each new rumor 1'
the same effect is received with smile
of incredulity, and it is genera
to make sport of the man who men
tions the subject. But the matte!
came to the surface again yesterday
ind this time in a way that makes i
possible a transfer has really been a
greed upon. Tlis information cairn
direct to the PIONEER PRESS, being
voucned for by a gentleman thorough
ly versed in railroad affairs. Said
this gentleman:
I have it from the highest authority
ihat, before the beginning of the n:
year,the Manitoba road will pass un
ler the control of the Chicago, Mil
waukee, & St.Paul. I cannot give my
Authority for this, but I can vouch foi
it that the public may depend upon it
The sale will be made outright.
What reason is there for a drop of a
about ten points in Manitoba stock in
New York ,and not a sale made?
can tell you that the contemplated sale
is the reason for the break in the stock.
H.L.Horton and Fred Brown, th
well known New York brokers, are
out here now in the interest of the
Milwaukee people. They have had a
iong consultation with President
of the Manitoba, at the Metripolitan
hotel since their arrival, and are now
on a tour of inspection of the road in
i special train, in company with Mr.
Ives. John S. Kennedy, the vice
president, is going out of the road' and
Mr. Hill certainly will not carry the
stock alone. I believe some interest
ing facts will be developed the next
few weeks, and then the public will
ascertain that the visit ofMessr
Horton and Brown had a great deai
to do with the plans of the Milwaukee
road in gaining possesion of the Man
itoba.
An official of the Manitoba road was
afterwards asked by a reporter in re
gard to the matter. He affected to
have heard nothing of it, although he
would make no direct denial. Being
closely pressed he said that perhaps a
•ertaiu well-known stock broke
might be able to give some valuable
nformation which mny be inter
preted in several peculiar •. ays. Tin
stock broker could not b: '.»und,
further effort to trace the rumor
checked. Several railroad men
heard the matter mentioned, but
'iot attached much importance to it,
wing to tins last that rumors of this
Uind had b.*en so prevalent of late.

MORRIS, NOV. 23, 1888.
EDITOR TRIBUNE
The "Morris Notes" correspondent
of the "Olive Branch" In yesterdays
issue again alludes to the closing up
of our business and departure from
town. It is quite true there were
many miners afloat in the air in ref
erence to the matter all of which were
greately exagerated ami we are not
surprised that the correspondent was
misled. As soon as we can settle tipour
business we will be ready to "shake"
with the "notes'* reporter if Ve can
find him—call and see him and also
take a cup of cofl'ee aud as we some
times smoke, especially when we get
"warmed" up we will accept a choice

The Poultry World thinfcs ft more
profitable to raise eggs than chicken
This is what it saj's: "We make no
allusion to those large establishments
where raising chickens as chickens fo
rt hear city market is undoubtedly a
paving business. But we address the
common poultry raiser living perhaps
a considerable distance from market,
who wishes to make the most an
best of his stock. And to such we
say raise every pullet your premise*
will accommodate. Treat them in such
i manner that they will lay eariy and
constantly through the winter, and
you will make more money than you
•an by raising chickens to sell for
•rollers unless at the fancy prices
hat such things bring in cities.
Most country breeders have no such
market for what they chance to have
to sell, and the small prices they ob
tain at the country hotel or the house
of the wealthy citizen, by no means
pays for the extra trouble and care
that early chickens cost. Of course,
ifyonhavea large number of fowls,
there would necessarily be cockerels
and old hens to fatten for sale, but do
not make it your business to sell dead
stock instead of making live hens give
youhundrads of eggs every year of
their lives.

Buffalo Statistics,

Northwest of the "Blue Ridge" buffaloes
grawn] in countless herds. During the heat
of the midsummer months they used to re
treat to the highlands, and followed the
ridges in their southward migration, as the
Approach of winter gradually crowned the
heights with snow. Along tho back bones of
all the main chains of the sunken Alleghen
ies these trails can still be distintly traced
for hundreds of miles. "Buffalo springs,"
'Buffalo gap," and scores of similar names
still attest the former presence of the Ameri
can bison in localities that are now fully
2,000 miles from the next buffalo range. The
centre of our buffalo population is moving
northwest at an alarming rate. Herds, in
the old time sense of tho word, can now be
found only in British North America, and
here and there along the frontier of our
northwest territories. In cold winter small
troops of fifteen or twenty are occasionally
seen in the Texas "panhandle," in western
Utah and in the valley of the upper Arkan
sas, but nowhere on this side of the Missis
sippi. Their days are numbered. They can
not hide, and their defensive weapons are
useless against mounted riflemen. Pot
hunters follow them to their far norther re
treats the International railroad will soon
can y a swarm of sportsmen to their west
Mexican reservations, and in fifty years from
now their happy pasture grounds will proba
bly be reduced to the inclosed grass plots of a
lew zoological gardens.

An Experience of William Howard

Now York Sun.
"At the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian
war, Mr. Dana engaged William Howard
Russell, then of Tho London Times, The
Times being perfectly willing that Mr. Rus
«ejl should earn *15,000 a year for giving out
his letters in duplicate to a newspaper print
ed 3,000 miles away from The Times office.
"Mr. Russell, after accepting an engage
ment at $.5,000 a year to write for The Sun,
wrote to Mr. Dana asking how he should
send his letters.
'By cable,' was Dana's cablegram to the
distinguished military critic.

knows that William How­
ard Russell's "letters, whether from the Army
of the Potomae or from any other point, will
average from 0,000 to 10,000 words, and Mr.
Russell, finding himself engaged to telegraph
so voluminously to 'a little two-cent paper in
New York City,' undoubtedly said to himself:
•If I have employers so enterprising it be
hooves me to stir myself, and show them that
I am worthy as much as their enterprise
would seem to demand that I should be.'
And, by the force of habit, ho forthwith
posted off for King William, not then, the
reader of course will understand, the em
peror.
"Well, the old king pretended to be sur
prised when Mr. Russell entered his tent, as
though William Howard Russell could cross
his lines and he not get notice of the approach
of such a man.
'I am glad to see you, sir, and welcome
you as the most renowned of military writers
Make my tent your home. Dine with me.'
"And William Howard Russell fell into the
trap. He dined with the king, and after the
champagne and cigars turned to his portman
teau to go
'What are you going to dof the king in
quired.
'Telegraph to The London Times and The
New York Sun.'
"'Oh! no! no! That would be giving in
formation to the enemy. I thought you had
come to be my historian of the war.'
"The result was, if a month after that Rus
sell had telegraphed a line to either of the
two great journals by which he had been em
ployed lie might possibly have been suspected
of violating the confidence of the king. He
was trapped. He necessarily became the
king's historian of the war, and The Lon
don Times and The New York Sun did not
get a line from William Howard Russell con
cerning the Franco-Prussian war.
"Meantime George W. Smalley, who, as
everybody knows, has been for years past the
London correspondent of The Tribune, went
to
and engaged a corps of the smartest
reporters to be found in that city, told them
to skirmish around the armies, accept no
body's hospitalities, get all the news they
could by hook and crook, and telegraph
to him every night in London.
"Result: Mr. Smalley's first telegram to
The Tribuno covered a page of that journal,
and a fortnight later every newspaper in
London reproduced that page, the original of
a practice that was afterward repeated."
A Dentist on the Preservation ot the
Teeth.
"Betty Blunt" in Chicago Herald.
"Doctor, are not a great many teeth
ruined by having the enamel worn off with
tooth powders?"
"No that is a most pernicious fallacy. I
wish all this world knew the truth, that the
enamel of a tooth cannot be worn off with a
brush and any kind of tooth powder not if it
were scrubbed five hours a day for 150 years.
More teeth are ruined by a fear of scouring
them than by all other causes put together.
The best way in the world to preserve a tooth
is to keep it highly polished then no foreign
substance adheres to it. These adhesions and
gradual rustings are what destroy teeth. If
you wish to keep a piece of steel you polish
it. If you do not it will rust away. It is
precisely the same with a tooth. The only
danger that can arise from the use of the
harshest tooth-powders is that they may in
jure the gums. Don't ever use charcoal or
salt, for, while they are excellent for clean
ing, they are ruinous to the gums. Charcoal
is full of little, sharp slivers that get under
the gums or cut into them and cause trouble
and grains of salt, you know, have
very sharp edges and corners. Cuttlebone
toothpowders are the best, I think. Bat by
all means keep the teeth clean and highly
polished. That reminds me" continued the
dentist, "a handsome and well-dressed lady
came here yesterday and wished her teeth
'fixed up.' I looked into her mouth and saw
about the foulest chasm I ever gazed into.
Why, it was worse than a sewer. I told her
I would give her a prescription, and when
she had used it thoroughly for a week I would
gee her. again. The prescription was for a
tooth brush and a box of powder. Doubtless
she was vexed when the druggist 'com
pounded' it, but it was what she most needed,
nevertheless."
"I have heard that many medicines given
by the physicians injure the teeth. Is that
true, doctor?"
"No, not to any considerable extent. IT1
tell you where that idea comes from. You
know, when a person is sick he is not so apt
to clean his teeth as when he is well. That is
one trouble but a greater is that the teeth
tre not used much. Sick persons eat but lit
tle, usually and what they do eat is often in
the form of pastes or gruels that do not de
mand much chewing. Now, the teeth are
like any other part of the person if they are
unused they become soft and more subject to
the decaying influences. Put your arm in a
sling for a month and the muscles and whole
member will become soft and flabby. So
with a tooth that is not used for some time.
Now, when a tooth is growing softer each day,
and it is not being cleaned as often as it was
when it needed cleaning less, of couse it rap
idly fails. This is why the medicines are
charged with the destruction."
A Journalist in Bronze.
A statue of the late Charles deYoung, edi
tor of The San Francisco Chronicle, killed by
the son of Mayor Ivalloch, of that city, has
been cast in bronze, says The Philadelphia
Times, by Charles F. Heaton, from a model
by F. Marion Wells, of San Francisco, and
is now on exhibition at No. 503 North Twelfth
street. This statue was made for the
brother of tho deceased, Mr. H. de Young,
the present proprietor of The Chronicle, and
meets the approbation of every critic who
knew tho original in life, the face and ex
pression being especially commended. The
statue is seven feet eight inches high and
represents a well-built, finely proportioned
man in the prime of life, standing easily,
with the weight of the body thrown on the
left foot, while the right is slightly advanced.
The right arm hangs straight and the hand,
holding a pen, rests open on a pedestal cov
ered with manuscripts. The left arm is bent,
bringing the half-opened hand forward, up
ward and near the waist, making a fine dis
cursive gesture. The face, with side whis
kers and mustache, is clear cut and full of
expression. A frock coat falls easily from
the shoulder and is as gracefully handled aa
possible, considering the few lines of beauty
which such drapery gives.
A posthumous work is almost always a book
that one has forgotten 80/ bury with the
author.
The Best Beading.
Every family that desires to provide
for its young people wholesome and
Instructive reading matter should
send for specimen copies of the
Youth's CompaniDn, of Boston. It is
the brightest and best of papers for
young people. Its columns give more
than two hundred stories yearly by
the most noted authors, including J.
T. Trowbride, William Black, Harriet
Beecher Stowe, Thomas Hardy, Mrs.
Oliphant and many otfeers, besides
bcientiiic articles by eminent spec
ialists, tales of adventure by noted
travellers, papers of encouragement
and advice by men aud women of
ability and experience, tmd reminis
cences and anecdotes of famous people.
Willi a cireulj.t on rapidly approach
ing 850,000 copies a week, the Youth's
Companion can well afford to spread
such a hast before its patrons and
spreading such a feast, it is no wander
it has such a tremendous circulation.
FLOATED OUT WITH THE TIDE.
The tide comes in and the tide goes out,
And maidens they buffet the wave
There's a tragedy hitched to tho tail of a
swim,
Of which I will tell you about.
The maiden so rosy and buxom to see,
Strolled over the glistening sand
So pretty her smile and so blushing her
cheek
None fairer could ever be.
Her lover he watched his promised bribe,
As a wave slopped over her head
And groaned in dismay when he saw her
arise—
While her blush floated out with the tide.
THE CINCHONA TREE.
The Experiment of Cultivating |nl
nine About to he Undertaken.
Chicago Times.
President Barrios, of Guatemala, has made
arrangements to try the experiment of culti
vating tho cinchona tree, and W. J. Forsyth,
a planter of Ceylon, who has ridden a thou
sand miles through Central America, explor
ing the country to discover the best site for
plantation, is now in New York on his return
to East India to select the seed for fivo
million trees. Speaking on the subject, Mr.
Forsyth said: "The rapid increase in the
number of uses to which the bark of the
cinchona tree is put, not only for the manu
facture of quinine and as an ingredient in tho
substitute for hops, but for various com
mercial purposes, induced President Barrios
to try this experiment. Although the cin
chona tree is not a native of India, but was
introduced there in 1S79 by the celebrated
botanist, Clement Markham, at the instance
of the British government, the culture was so
profitable that not only has the original in
vestment of £150,000 oeen repaid, but the
trees have been valued at £1,000,000."
There are many varieties of the cinchona.
One is the calisaya, which is rich in alkaloid.
Another variety is the officinalis, the bark of
which is known as crown bark. Other varie
ties are condamanca and the succirubra. The
last named is rather larger than the others
and more robust and of quicker growth, but
not so rich iu alkaloid, though it yields plenty
Df bark. These barks are generally known
to commerce as Peruvian bark, though not
cultivated in Peru nor grown there to any
great extent. The trees are planted from
three to four feet apart, and mature in about
six yeirs.
There are three methods of treatment in
cultivation. One is by thinning out, or se
lecting the largest trees to be retained. An
ther is by coppicing, which is simply cutting
he trees down to a stump and permitting the
hoots to grow. At the harvest these shoots
ire cut off. The third method is called the
Mclvor system, and consists in taking the
bark from a part of the matured tree and
mossing over the stripped place until the bark
is renewed. If the mossing is carefully done
the bark will renew itself continually. The
bark is sold at 2 shillings to 13 shillings a
pound, and is sold readily, for the supply has
never yet bepn too great. The cinchona tree

When the reporters got down Bijah was
dusting off tho chairs and singing "Only a
Pansy Blossom." He was offered 50 cents,
|1, $2, and finally as high as $4
and a hand-sled if he would quit
at the end of his first verse, but he indig
aantly spurned all overtures. One after
another the prisoners called out to him
to have mercy and let up, but it was not until
the occupant of cell No, fainted dead away
with a cry of despair that the old janitor
hushed his song and said:
"I don't see why it is that everybody
pitches into my singing. Is there anything
the matter with my voice?"
"Anything!" shouted the reportorial band
in chorus.
"I have been told that there was a touch
of pathos in it."
"Pa-ha! ha! thos!"
"And that it reminds the bearers of their
childhood days."
"Child-ha! ha! hood days!"
"Oh, well, it's no use to combat such jeal
ousy as yours. No one can blame the crow
for hearing the eagle. All of you go to
Texas."
The first prisoner out was Abner Johnson,
the victim who had fainted. He looked pale
and weak, and his honor gazed at him and
said:
"Prisoner, these sprees are using you up."
"Sprees! Why, last night is the fust time I
have been drunk in two years!"
"Well, it seems to have exhausted you."
"It wasn't that, sir. I could stand four or
five drunks and not feel the worse for it, but
when you coine to lock a man up in a close
cell, keep him without breakfast, and start
fifty hyenas to howling before his door, some
thing has got to give way."
"Bijah,said the court, as he turned to the
janitor, "have you been singing again this
morning?'
"Y-yes, sir. That is, I warbled off a verse
or two."
"And it caused me to faint away, and gave
the man next to me quick consumption,"
added the prisoner.
"Bijah, I have warned you for the last
time," solemnly announced his honor. "You
have got to stop singing or this court must
break up! Prisoner, you have suffered
enough aud are discharged. GTo your
way!"
It was no more than Bijah deserved, and
yet when he was seen through the door of the
corridor wiping his sad eyes on a piece of
coffee-sacking, a majority of tho audience
expressed heart-felt sympathy.

George William Curtis is at Newport, be
ing the guest of the Marquands, writes a cor
respondent. Ho feels at home anywhere in
Rhode Island, as that is his native state.
Curtis is now in his 60t,h year. It is more
than a third of a century since he made his
first apj^arance in literature, taking at once
a first-class position, which he has retained,
both as an orator, author and editor. His
residence is on Staten island, where many of
tho leaders in Harper's Weekly are written.
Nast, who has temporarily discontinued his
cartoons, lives in Morristown, and travels
but, little, though he has recently visited
Saratoga springs. He is a native of Bavaria,
and began his career as an artist in the hum
blest manner. His hits at Tweed atid the in
famous ring did much toward breaking the
latter, and James Gordon Bennett has also
winced under the power of his crayon. Nast,
indeed, is a wonderful genius, but see what a
road to the public was opened to him in
Harper, whose patronage indeed has given
him fame as well as wealth. Hence it will
bo well for him to resume his place, as other
wise be will soon be forgotten. He needs the
Harpars full as much as they need him, and
the salary ($200 per week) is certainly very
handsome. Nast has (first and last) drawn
$150,000 from Harper's Weekly.
