A new industry l as beon started in Vermont for collecting the the cones of the white or spruce pines and extracting the seed from them, which are then sent to France, Germany, and other parts of Europe, to renew the forests there that have been cut down.

Mr. Robert Cnpper proposed, In the British Association, a railway to connect the heart of Africa with London in ten days, as "a feat worthy of the age wo live in." He would advocate the build ing of a railway from the two rivers, Niger and Congo, toward ench other, and north and south, at the rate of a mile a day, to form a spine through the continent. A tunnel is projected, to be bored nder Gray's PeA in the Rocky Moun- atns. It will be placed 4.441 feet be- ow the summit of the mountain, will be 23,000 feet (nearly five miles) long, and will give direct communication between the valleys in the Atlantic slope and those of the Pacific side, with a shorten ing of some three hundred miles in th trabsmontane distances. 1 Professor Baldwin of Dublin places the average yield of milk per cow in England, Ireland and Scotland at 400 gallons a year, and the gross product at 1,600,000,000 gallons a year. Diff.r , entf experts have estimated the average capacity of the cows in the United States at about the same figure, between 3,000 and 8,500 pounds a year. It is only by bearing these figures in mind that one lan appreciate the room there is for im provement by introducing improved stock, and considering that the number of cows devoted to butter-making far exceeds that of those devoted to other purposes, the field is practically unlimited. The Boston Pott has been making cal culations as to what a man "takes out of himself" when he chases after a moving train. The following conclusions are reached: "The mental disturbance in such cases must add, I should judge, about twenty beats a minute to the ac tion of the heart, so that he who runs for a train at the speed of ten miles a hour is really taking it out of himself at the rate of twenty miles an hour; and if, as must frequently happen, the runner is conscious of this fact, why, then, at leust five heart beats more a minute must be added as the effect of such mental introversion, and thus the margin of safety becomes exceedingly small." About 20,000 people are annually . destroyed in India by animals, and of these nineteen are said to be bitteu by snakes. The number of human victims tends to increase, in spite of the fai t that the number of wild beasts and snakes destroyed has doubled in the last ten years, and that the Government re ward paid for their extermination has risen proportionately. Nearly 2 1-2 lakhs of rupees (about $123,000) were thus paid in 1884. Next to venomous rep tiles, tigers claim most victims. Ton years ago wolves, mostly in the North west provinces and Oudh, killed five times as many people as of late years; but the extermination of wolves seems to be going on rapidly. Leopards are the alleged cause of death to about 200 hu man beings annually. Apart from the loss of human life, the returns show an annual destruction of 50,000 head of cattle. The fact that during the recent cold weather there was much loss of cattle in transportation from Texas to Chicago, leads the New York Tribune to say edi torially : "Cattle kept in closely packed cars two or three days without fodder or water necessarily become diseased and consequently unfit fcr food. Reduced in esh by starvation, their blood fevered by thirst, their nervous systems disor dered by the crowding and jolting on the railroad, these poor creatures are hurried to the stockyards, and often be fore they have had a chance to repair the fatigue of the journey they are converted into beef. Such meat is not wholesome and should not be marketable. The men who care nothing for the sufferings of dumb beasts, and are reckless as to the effect of putting unwholesome meat ou the market, would undoubtedly see the wisdom of treating their cattle with de cent humanity if they found that their brutal methods cut down their profits."

GRIM WALKERS REVENGE.:" Between the years 1813 and ISO a full thousand people heard the story of (irim Walker. That was during tho fiercest part of our civil war, anf minor inci dents were speedily absorbed and for gotten. I doubt if there are a score of people living to-day who can recall the details of this singular man's adventures, and I do not remember that anything save a brief outline of the massacre of his family has ever appeared in print. 1 was a pony express rider on the Over land route. That meant helping to guard stages, carrying a light mail on my sad dle, forwarding dispatches, taking my turn to act as agent of some stable, and arious other things which need not bo explained. There were then several great trails leading we6t from the borders of civilization, and all were more or less traveled, but the favorite routes were from St. Joseph and Council Bluffs, the one beMng known as the northern and other as the southern route. I was on a route along tho Platte River west of Fort Kearney, which was sometimes fifty miles long, and sometimes 12.1, according to the way the Indians were behaving, and the number of men we had for service. Grim Walker was a pioneer named Charles. O. Walker, from near Iowa City. lie was a giant in size, naturally sour and taciturn of disposition, and his family consisted of a wife and three children. While the country was ex cited over the civil war, and travel by the Overland had almost come to a stop, except in cates of necessity, Walker and others formed an immigrant party to make a push for the golden land. When I first heard of them they numbered twenty wagons and sixty or seventy peo ple, and were on the Platte, east of Kearney, which was then dangerous ground. When the outfit reached Kearney, some were for turning back, others for electing a new Captain, others for settling down near by and establish ing ranches. It seemed that there were three or four different factions in the party, and several bitter quarrels had re sulted. In the then state of affairs ",00 brave and united men could have scarce ly hoped to reach the ( 'olorado or Wy oming line, for the Indians were up in arms on every trail, and thirsting for Diooa ana scalps. v nen it was known, therefore, that Grim Walker, as he had como to be known, hod been elected Captain of a faction and intended to push on at the head of only seven fami lies, which could muster but nine fight ing men, soldiers, hunters, Indian fight ers, and overland men argued and scold ed and predicted. Not an argument could move Griin Walker. Not a pre diction could frighten one of his adher ents. It appeared to them to be a cae where manhood and pride were at stake, and when it was hinted that the military would restrain them they made secret preparations and departed at night. It was an awful thing for those bigote I nd determined men to d ive their wives and children, consisting of twenty-two people, to a horrible death, but nothing short of a battle with the mili tary would have stopped them. They left Kearney one night ab;5ut 10 o'clock, drawing away quietly and trav eling at their best speed. They could not have gone ten miles before being dis covered by the Indians. A party of twenty of us left over the same trail at noon next day, and we had gone only fifteen miles when we found evidences that the little party, which was keeping along the Platte, had been attacked. This must have been about daylight. Soon after sunrise they had been driven to shelter in a groveof eoltonwoods, but before reaching it one of the men had been killed and scalped, a wagon had broken down and been abaadoned, and stray bullets had killed a woman and a child as they cowered down behind the cargo of the wagons. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon we came to the grove, driving away the last of the savages, but we were too late. Such a spectacle as we there beheld was enough to sicken the heart of the bravest Iudian fighter. The little party had been attacked by about ISO ) redskins, and the tight had lasted tor half a day. As near as we could figure from blood spots on the i a: th fourteen Indians had been killed, and there were bloody trails to show that as many more had been wounded. The foolhardy men hail died game a an offset. We made out that their camp had been carried by a charge, and that the lost of the fighting was hand to hand. Five of tho women had been carried oil into horriole cap tivity, w hile all others had been butch eredall save Crim AValker. The bo lies had been cut and hacked and mutilated in a terrible manner, but we could have identified Walker by his si.e, even hail he been decapitated. The immigrants' horses had all been k lied, the wagons plundered and burned, and the savages were bundling up some of the plunder when we came in sight and drove th in away. All that was left us was the sad work of burying the corpses. A month later we Lsard that Grim Walker had escaped from the fight, breaking out of the grove and riding off on a horse just as the conflict closed in. Men belonging to the Overland had met and talked with him east of Kearney. He had three wounds, but seemed uncon scious of them as he briefly related the story of tho fight, and vowed that he would have the lives of five Indians for every white person who had perished. Nothing further was heard of him until June of the following year. I was then in Government employ as a scout and de spatch rider, and was on the Smoky Hill Fork of the Kansas River, twenty miles west of Fort McPherson. riding with two other scouts, when we came upon Grim Walker. He had gone east after the massacre, and had built for himself a bullet-proof wagon. It was a reat cagr on wheels, and everything about it was made of iron. Wheels, box, bottom, top every pirt of it was bullet proof. It was pierced cr loopholed in fifty places for musketry, ventilated at the top, and as drawn by lour mules, llie man must nave had considerable means at his disposal to pay for a vehicle like that, and he had come all the way from Coun cil Bluffs alone. The interior was fitted up with a sleeping berth, iron tanks for holding food and water, and he had come back to the plains to keep his vow. Rut for his grimntss the idea would have raised a laugh. He must have been en route for many long days, and he cer tainly had passed through many perils. We heard afterward that as he reached the fort one afternoon, and it became known that he would push on, every effort was made to dissuade him. For a time he was silent grim deaf. Then he pointed to the northeast and said: "There lie the bones of my children and friends, and I will not rest until I have avenged them twice over." They told him the country was alive with hostlles, and that every rod of the way was beset with perils; but as the sua went down he harnessed his mules to the iron tongue, climbed into the sad dle, and without nod of farewell to any ono he rode to the west in the gathering gloom more grim, more determined, more of a devil than a human being. He had traveled a good share of the night over a country in which death lurked in every ravine, but the watchful savages had not espied him. He had traveled until mid-afternoon next day along a trail where savages outnumbered the suakes twenty to one, but somehow they had missed him. We were riding at full speed for the fort, keeping the shelter of the dry ravines and the valleys, and ex pecting at any moment to be pursued, when we ran upon Grim Walker. His wagon stood cn the open prairie, at least half a mile from the river and the shelter of the cottonwoods. The four mules hod been unharnessed and turned out to graze, and the man was cooking his sup per at a campfire, the smoke of which would draw Indians for ten miles around. Our astonishment when we found him there alone kept us dumb for a few min utes. We sat on our horses and stared at him, and he greeted our presence by a mere nod. When I recognized him as Grim Walker I began to suspect the enterprise he had on foot, and after I had put a few questions ho briefly ex plained: "I am here to kill Indians. You can look my wagon over if you want to.'' . It was what I have described. He had a barrel or more of fresh water, a lot of flour and meat, a small stove to cook on, and a perfect arsenal of firearms. It wus evident that the Indians could not get at him with bullets nor tomahawk, nor tire, and it would take weeks to starve him out. There was only one thing that troubled the man. His stock would be killed off at once when he was attacked, and he would then have no way of moving his wagon. We helped him out of his dilemma by agreeing to take the animals to the Fort. The harnesses were piled into his house, and it was un derstood that he would come for the mules when he wanted them. He had a compass, and we gave him the exact bearings, and as we rode away he was preparing to toast another piece of meat, seeming utterly unconcerned over the dangers of his surroundings. As to what happened him during tiie next three weeks I had a few meagre details from his own lips, but plenty of information from warriors who afterward became "friendly.-' That is. when licked out of their boots half a dozen times, their villages destroyed, many of their ponies shot, and their squaws and children driven to temporary starvation, they cried for peace in order to recruit and make ready for another campaign. The campfire which Grim Walker built saved the three of us from being am bushed. A warrior told me that forty savages were between us and the fort when the smoke Led them to believe that a large party of immigrants must be camped in the bottoms. It could only be a large party which would dare build such a tire in a hostile country. The warriors were all drawn off by a signal to attack the larger game, and Ijefore sun down that evening two hundred murder ous redskins were opening their eyes very wide at the site of the one lone wagon anchored on the prairie under their noses. How did it get there! Where were the horses or mules? Was it occupied ? They must have asked then. selves these questions over and over again, but there stood the wagon, grim, silent, mysterious. The whole band finally moved down for a closer inspec tion, believing the vehicle had been abandoned, and hopeful that something in the shape of plunder had been lett behind. They had come close they hail entirely surrounded the vehicle w hen a sheet of flame darted from one of the portholes, and Grim Walk t had be t'Uii to tally his victims. Refore the red skins could get out of range he had killed seven of theiu, using shotguns and buck shot. It was onlv when they came to return the tire that the savages di -covered what sort of a vehicle had been hauled out there among them. They wa ted hundreds cf bullets before the; ctad firing, and with a rifle Walker killed two more of them before night set in. The superstitious nature of the Indian would have driven him away had he not burned for revenge. And, too, it was argued that the wagon must contain something of great value to ha -e been built that way, and greed was added to the thirst for vengeance. They be lieved that the bottom of the box, nt least, was of wood, and about three hours after dark a number of warriors, each having a bunch of dry grass under his arm, crept forward to the vehicle to start a fire under it. They crept as noiselessly as serpents, but before a man of them had pnssed under a double-barreled shotgun belched forth its con tents, and two more bucks set out for the happy hunting grounds. Next day. refusing to believe that a wagon could be bullet proof, the Indians opened a fusilade, which was maintained for two hours. They were behind trees and logs and other cover, and not a shot was pro voked in response. Various schemes were concocted to get at the wagon, which was finally believed to contain a party of hunters, but none promised success. At noon, however, a number of young warriors volunteered to carry out a plan. There were twelve of them. and they were to approach the wagon in ; a w ide circle. The idea was to seize and i upset it, and thus render the occupants harmless. The circle was made, and it i gradually narrowed until the signal for i a rush was made. i The man within grim, silent, watch ful let the circle close, and the war riors seize the wheels before he opened fire. It would have taken a dozen stout men to have lifted two of the wheels off the ground. He shot down three of them and the others fled in terror, and half an hour later the siege was aban doned and the Indians were moving oil. For two long w eeks the wagon remained on the spot, an object of curiosity to scouts and hunters an object of awe and menace to the savages. Then, one morning, just at daylight, Grim Walker came into Fort .McPherson for his mules, lie was froing to move his iron cage to new fields. He replenished his provi. sions, and inside of two hours was off again, having spoken less than fifty words during his stay. It seemed as i( he had grown taller, fiercer, more grim and revengeful. There was something pitiful in knowing that he alone had survived the massacre; something ap palling in the knowledge that he had become a Nemesis whom nothing but blood wonld satisfy. The wagon was moved north to the head-waters of the Saline Fork. One who has been over the route will wonder how it could have been done. It was at-. tacked there one forenoon about 10 o'clock by a band of thirty warriors who had been raiding on the Solomon's River. The mules were staked out, and tinm Walker sat at his camp hre. I he warriors charged up on horseback, be lieving they had a hunter's or surveyor's outfit, and while they stampeded and se- I cured the mules, four of them were killed from the loopholes of the cage. Thev came back again, and another was killed and two were wounded. . Then they discovered what sort of an enemy they bad to deal with and withdrew (jrim AValker and his wagon re mained there for a month. When the Indians would no longer come tc him he set out in search of them, and he became a veritable terror. Twenty different warriors whom I inter viewed between 18H4 und 1SU7 told me that Walker was more feared than a hun dred Indian fighters. He killed every thing he came to that was Indian, in cluding squaws, ponies, children, and dogs. No camp felt safe from him. He had the ferocity of a hungry tiger and the cunning of a serpent. He used his iron wagon as headquarters and made raids for fifty miles around. During the' summer our scouts saw Walker or his wagon once a fortnight. He was last seen alive on September 2, on the Repub lican River, when he had a fresh Indian scalp at his belt. He had then blown up his wagon with gunpowder and abandoned it, although he did not state the fact. His hair and beard had be come long and unkempt, his clothing was in ras. and there could be no doubt that he had gone mad. n the l'.th of the mouth, as I rode with an escort of soldiers tooth of where he was seen On the 2d, and fifty miles from the spot, we found him dead. He lay on a bare knoll, on the broad of his back, with his arms fold d over his breast and his ri.le by his side. His eyes were wldj open, as if looking at the buzzards sailing above him, and we soon satisfied ourselves that he had died from natural causes. He hail a dozen scars and wounds, but dis ease had overpowered him, or his work had been done. He had exacted a full measure of vengeance. Tetter for the Indians had they let his immigrant party pass on in peace, for he had bro ijjht mourning to a hundred lodges. Xea York Sun. The Brazilians.

PRISON LIFE IN SIBERIA, i AN ACCOUNT OP TITE FAMOUS RUS SIAN PENAL SETTLEMENT. More than 10,000 Criminal Ex ileti Yearly Political Prisons Trie Life 11 by Kxile. For nearly two centuries, writes Thomas W. Knox, in the New York Star, Siberia has been famous, or infa mous, as a place of banishment for those who offend against the social or political laws of Russia. Peter tho Great began the transportation of criminals to Sibe ria in 110; previous to that date the country had been used as a land of ban ishment for ollicials whom the govern ment wished to gdt out of the way with out putting them to death, but the num ber of these deported individuals wsi not larc. Ever since Peters day the work of exiling criminals to Siberia has been kept up; the ordinary travel of this sort is about 10,000 annuallv, and sometimes it reaches as high as 12,0i)0 or 1:1,000. Outside of this deportation is that of revolutionists, nihilists and others who offend politically rather than criminally, though any opposition to the autocratic power of the Czar is likely to be re garded as criminal in the eyes of the Russian government. Sometimes the political prisoners are mingled with tho criminals, but ordi narily they are kept apart. In former times the prisoners were compelled to walk to their destinations, and the jour ney from St. Petersburg to the regions beyond Lake Baikal, a distance of nearly 4,000 miles, occupied two years, ana sometimes more, and many of the exiles died on the road from fatigue and pri vations. It was found more economical to transport the offenders in wagons or sleighs, or by rail and steamboat when possible, than to require them to walk, and for the last twenty years or more five-sixths of the exiles have been car ried in this way. At points varying from ten to twenty miles apart along the great road ttirough Siberia there arc houses for tho lodgment of prisoners at night. They afford a shelter from the weather, but very little else, as they are almost always badly ventilated and very dirty, and occupants sleep on the bare floor or benches, without any other covering than the clothes they wear. Sometimes in summer the officer in charge of a convoy of prisoners will permit them to sleep out of doors at night, instead of entering the filthy stations, but in such a case he requires the personal promise of every exile in the convoy that he will make no attempt to escape, and he' furthermore makes the whole party re sponsible for the individual conduct. I nder such circumstances if one of the prisoners should violate his parole and run away, no further favors would be shown to the rest, and they would be put on low rations of food and other wise punished. It is needless to say they take good care that the promise is kept. This privilege is accorded only to the convoys of political offenders. Tne criminal classes are ot considered w orthy of such confidence in their honor. Prison life in Siberia is of many va rieties, according to the offenses of dif ferent individuals and the sentences which have been decreed in their cases. The lowest sentence is to simple banish ment for three years, and the highest to hard labor for li.e. The simple exile without imprisonment is appointed to live in acertain town, district or province, and must report to the police at slated intervals. Ho may engage in certain specified occupations, or rather in any occupation which is not on a prohibited list; for example, he may teach music or painting, but he may not tea h languages, as they afford the opportunity for propa gating revolutionary ideas. He may be come merchant, farmer, mechanic, con tractor, or anything else of that sort, and it not infrequently happens that exiles en joy a degree of prosperity in their new homes that they did not have in L.a uave ju XiU id the sons in Siljfria; a itsk, tn capi i.thc soif of an ropean Russia. Exiles aud the have become millionaires former Vanderbilt of Irkoot tal of Eastern Siberia, was. eulo serf, his enormous fortune having been gained in the overland tea trade. Many exiles become so attached to Sibe ria that they remain after the.r term of banishment is ended, but it bhould be under tood that their eases are the ex tant ons rather than the rulo. The wife and immature children of an exile may follow or accompany him at the expense of the Government, but they cannot re turn to Europe until his term of service has expired. The name of "prisoner'' or "exile" is never applied to the ban ished individuals; in the language of the peoplo they are called 'uniortu n;ites," ani; in official documents they are termed "involuntary emigrants." Of those sentenced to forced labor some are ordered to become colouUts; they are furnished with the tools aud materials for building a house on a plot of ground allotted to them, aud for three years can receive rations from the nearest government station, but when the three years have expired they are expected to support themselves. If they were sent to the southern and therefore fertile parts of ."iberia their lot would not be a severe one, but the most of these colonists are assigned to the northern regions, wh re the upirt of life from tilling the soil or from hunting and fishing is a matter of great di-culty. Those who are kept in prison and sentenced to hard labor are employed in mines, mill-, foundries or on the public roads. Many of them wear chains, which esiend from a girdle around the waist to each ankle, and ef fectually preclude the possibility of run ning away. Their life is a hard one, as their fond is coarse and often limited in quantify. It is bad enough under kind hearted overseers and Superintendents, and terrible where tlie masters are cruel, which happens altogether too often.
