FETAi DEAD.
Schuyler Collin Die in a Mlnaegot
Kulroad Depot.
Mankato, Minn., Jan. 13, 1885.
This morning, when the ten o'clock
train on the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul road arrived, an elderly
gentleman of portly physique step
ped from the coach, and, with satch
el fa hand, walked to the Omaha
depot, as is supposed, for the pur
pose of taking the eleven o'clock
train on that road west. He walk-,
ed up to a gentleman outside of the
depot and inquired for the gentle
men's waiting room, and was direct
ed thereto. After stepping inside he
walked up to a map on the wall, and
after perusing it for a while walked
across the room to a window and
looked out for a ehort time. He eat
down with his overcoat an his lap.
There were at the time three persons
in the depot The stranger was no
ticed to grow pale, and one of those
present hastened to him with water,
supposing him to be faint He set
tled back in the seat and gave one
gaep lor breath, which was the last
evidence of life he manifested.
IDESTIFIID AS MIL COLFAX.
The fact was telephoned to the
business part of the city that a
stranger had dropped dead at the
depot, and in a few minutes it was
reported that the deceased was sup
posed to be Mr. Schuyler Colfax, ex
Vice President of the United States,
as letters and other papers were
found on his person bearing his ad
dress at South Bend, Ind. People
who had seen Mr. Colfax in life
were hastily summoned and they
identified him immediately.
The members of the Odd Fellows
ladge took charge of the body of
thair brother, and through the kind
thoughtfulnens of Dr. G.G. Harring
ton and wife the remains were taken
to that gentleman residence and
cared for by t!ie undertaker and laid
in a fitting casket. The home of the
Doctor was thronged w:th visitor"
until the hour of the departure of the
body for the depot. Steps were
taken enrly in the afternoon for a
proper disposal of the remains, and
telegrams were received from Mr.
Colfax's relatives at Souih Betid
bearing instructions to have the re
mains sent on at once.
The loJge of I. O. O. F. at this
city instructed the same brother
hood to detail a coinmittee to ac
comnany the body to Chicago, and
the services of Mr. L. P. Hunt and
Mr. L. Patterson were secured for
that duty. Leading citizens assist
ed in their efforts to make this last
tribute to the dead as impressive as
possible. A special meeting of the
lodge of I. O. O. F. was called to
make prejerations for the proper
conveyance of the remains to the
depot. The railway authorities of
the Northwestern road placed a
special car at the disposal of those
in charge of the ceremonies. The
car was properly draped.
THE MARCH TO THE DEPOT.
The president of the Board of
Trade summonad that body, the
City Council were properly organ
ized, a mounted escort was muster
ed. Bauds were engaged and the
firemen and military companies
called together. The clergy of the
city were invited to attend in a
body and every possible arrange
ment made for an imposing proces
sion to the depot At 2 p. m. the
procession formed at the residence
of Dr. Harrington and escorted the
remains to the depot, where fitting
services of a religious character
took place. Rev. J. C Potter was
the officiating clergyman, assisted
by other ministers of the city. As
soon as the identity of the deceased
was estoblished Mr. L. P. Hunt sent
a despatch to President Arthur, noti
fying him of the sad event
THE PRESIDENT'S REPLY.
The President acknoweledged the
message as follows :

Sir. L. P. Hrrr, Postmaster, and others,

death to-day at Mankato of ex-Vice Presi

THE INQUEST.
This afternoon Coroner Paddock
summoned a jury And held an in
quest over the remains. The ver
dict was in substance that the de
ceased came to his death suddenly
from soma cause to. the jury un
known. Several theorir i are advan
ced as to the cause of the death of
Mr. Colfox. It is thought by some
that the walk in the cold atmos
phere, the thermometer being at 30
degrees below zero, after remaining
eo long in a heated car, produced
the sad result, while others main
tain that apoplexy was the cause.
The old theory of heart disease, of
course, was advanced. No one here
knows where the deceased was going
to, and the papers on his person in
dicate that he was in South Bend,
Ind., n Monday morning at seven
o'clock. Tha remains, as they lay
in a beautiful casket, clothed in a
suit of black, wheae the picture of
quite repose. The pallbearers choa
en from the lodge were W. D.
Tompkins, L. L. Davis," William
Jones, Peter Hoerr, A. M. Smith
and C CarrelL Messrs. L. P. Hunt,
H. Himmelman and B. Pay were
appointed a committee by the lodge
to accompany the remains to Chi

I have just returned from the
shores of Lake Superior, where I
spent some time visiting the copper
regions, said to be the greatest in the
world. Throughout the rocky bar
ren Keweena peninsula, good for
nothing as farming lands, the im
mense copper deposits have caused
large towns to spring up, and they
now give employment to ten thous
ands of men. About 18 years ago
a pig strayed from the fiock to
which it belonged and fell into a pit
on a spat where the city of Calumet
now stands. In rooting about it un
covered a mass of native copper .and
showed to the world the location of
thve greatest copper mine it has ever
known. As the result of the pig's
rooting humanity is now $35,000,000
richer in the use of the copper there
discovered, and the stockholders,
who, aided by the pig, have helped
(the world to this wealth.have receiv
ed $25,000,000 for their trouble. A

Escape of Marshal Bazaiae.
The escape of the fat man of Metz
from hip prison on the Isle of St.
Marguerite was arranged entirely by
the Marshal, his wife, and his neph
ew, Alvarez de RuelL Madame Ba
zaine had hired a steamer for a pre
tended pleasure-trip at Genoa, and,
leaving her at anchor in Jocan Bay
she had started for the island cf St.
Marguerite, with her devoted neph
ew, in an open boat, across the
stormy sea. Meanwhile the Mar
shal, who had been forewarned of
his wife a design, had managed to
elude his jaileis and to secure a rope
one end of which he attached to two
iron bars placed crosswise in an old
gutter, which carried off the rain
water from the rock ; the other hung
down into the darkness. He then
began the descent, some eighty feet
down the face of the precipice, with
the danger of being dashed against
projecting cliffs or of falling into
the sea. Half-way down he rested,
by means of a hook which was at
tached to his belt and lit a match,
which signal was answered by a fee
ble light beneath him. Arrived at
the end of the rope, the Marshal, all
bleeding and exhausted as he was,
threw himself into the tea and swam
to the boat, into which he was lifted
with great difficulty. They reached
the steamer about 1 in the morning,
and the Marshal was forthwith in
troduced to the captain as a valet
whom madame had engaged. In
due course of time they landed at
Genoa, and proceeded thence to Ger
many. Haver ly Tp.

Two Prisoner Perish by tbe Corning
of a Texaa Jail.
Fredricksburg, Tex., Jan. 9.
The county jail was discovered on
fire yesterday, and the first arrivals
from the town were greeted by the
agonizing cries uf two prisoners
confined within the burning build
ing. Before assistance could be
rendered the structure, which was
built of wood, was wrapped in
flames and soon burned to the
ground. Search among the ruins
resulted in the finding of the char
red remains of Rafael Olvera, a Mex
ican, in jail for horse stealing, and
William Allison, imprisoned for
manslaughter. Allison was to have
been released to-day on 83000 bail.

and my leg is now sound and well."

A Frightful Fall.
Scrakton, Jan. 7. A plank that
fell from the tower of the new shaft
ol the Bridge Coal Company, in
this city, at 8 o'clock this morn
ing, struck David Philips a work
man, upon the back of the neck.
He was standing on a carriage bus
nended over the shaft at ths aortas
and the blow hurled him into the
opening, which is 300 feet deep.
He fell to the bottom and every bone
in his body was broken.
Cora a Stock Food.
Corn is bo rich in oil that we may
gay com-bread is ready buttered ; it
is, however, very digestible, and in
cold weather this oiliness ia a most
valuable factor, as it serves to keep
up the heat of the body more di
rectly than starch and similar sub
stances. With oats and barley it
may form oDe-third of the grain
ration of hard-werked draft horses,
and will keep their coats glossy and
be in every way a benefit certainly
worth more than its weight in oats.
Fed alone or in larger, proportion
it has a tendency to make horses
sweat easily, and it is said to become
quickly exhausted. It is not safe to
feed it as freely as oats or barley, as
there is danger of impacting and
just as there would be if wheat were
so fed. No doubt it is best fed
ground with oats, and the propor
tions already indicated are probably
the most satisfactory, the meal being
fed upon cut hay.
For cows in milk, corn meal may
form, with brand, the exclusive grain
rotion, and may be fed at the rate of
one pint of corn-meal to each ICO
pounds of the cow's live weight No
doubt it will be found just as good
in Great Britain as here. It gives
quality and richness to the milk,
color to the butter and abundance
to the flow if the cow is a good one ;
but if she is inclined to lay on fat
such feeding will cause her to fatten
even though in full milk, and if she
gets too fat she will go dry.
For sheeD corn is excellent, but
should be fed whole and a little at a
time. For swine, the universal ex
perience from Maine to Oregon, and
from Canada to Mex'co, is that it
will make more and better pork
than any othfr feed. For j-oultry it
is in this country the universal grain
but it is not always the best It is
admirable for its fattening proijer
ties, but for laying hens and growing
fowls it is not well to use too much.
"Corn-fed" fowls, ducks and geese
are firm-flesh and yet tender. They
Lear transportation aliye with little
shrinkage. True yellow corn makes
yellow butter and yellow fat in fowls.
English and French tastes demand
white-fleshed poultry with pale,
lardy fat, and so they fatten poultry
on rice, and their fancy market fowls
have about as much flavor as boiled
rice. Tbe American market de
mands yellow-fleshed fowls as June
butter, and corn is the food to pro
duce this in all poultry.

The Happy Hoate.
It is not always the costliest home
that is the happiest Now, take
the Indian wigwam. It does'nt con
tain the luxuries of the bank presi
dent's home. All the carpet is an
odd rope or two; the luxurious arm
chair is the ground, and there is no
bri-a-bac except a scalp or two.
Yet the Indiam s happy. There is
not a shadow to dim the pure old
gold sunshine of his wild life. He
sees the smoke curl softly from un
der the kettle that contains his meal,
and float away through the rustling
needles of the pine.
This picture makes bis happiness
complete, as he lie? on the ground
calmly smoking and watching his
wife do all the work. - It is no won
der the Indian likes home, because
that is the place where he never has
anything to do but sit around and
sleep. When he comes in from the
hunt he is never sent off to the
village to have some cretonne
matched, or told to sit and hold
three or four hanks of yarn that are
to be wound; be doesn't have to
nurse the pappoese while his squaw
goes out shopping; he doesn't have
to stand on a barrel and build up
the stove-pipe section by section,
with the soot pouring down in his
eyes. He isn't asked what every
woman he met bad on, and is con
sequently not blown up for not hav
ing noticed.
Think what a happy home the
Indian has, when you come to con
sider that his wife doesn't wear silk
dresses, or twenty dollar bonnets, or
care anything about the opera, er
horses and carriages. Why, the
squaw is perfectly happy in a
blouse and a pair of army trousers.
The noble woman mukes every sac
rifice to render her husband happy.
He never knows what it is to be
kept awake half the night to !e
talked into S'jnie unnecessary pur
chase, or to learn that the squaw
in the next wigwam possesses some
thing that his does not. These are
seme of the things that tend to
make the Indian's home happy.
Tired Birds.
Many of our birds fly several
thousand miles every autumn, pas
sing not only over Florida, where
they might find perpetual summer
but over the Gulf and far beyond
into the great summer-land of the
Amazon ; after a Bbort stay return
ing again to the North, some penetra
ting to the extreme shores of the
Arctic 6eas. How the small birds
fly so great distances is almost in
comprehensible ; but I have seen
many of our small feathered friends
on the little Key of Tortugas, two
hundred miles or more from Cape
Florid, atjthe ju in ping-off place of the
United States. Great flocks of them
would alight upon the walls of the
fort especially during storms, evi
dently thoroughly tired ; but the
next day they were up and away off
over the great stretch of the Gulf and
the Carribean Sea.
Numbers of the English birds and
many from Northern Europe make
yearly voyages down into the Afri
can continent ; and careful observers
state that they have seen the great
storks, so common in Germany,
moving along high in the air, bear
ing on their broad backs numbers of
smaller birds that had taken free
passage, or were, pe-naps, stealing a
ride. In these wnderlul migra
tions many birds are blown out to
sea and lost while others become so
fatigued and worn out that they will
alight upon boats. A Hew England
hsherman, who, in the autumn fol
lows his calling fourteen or fifteen
miles out from shore, informed me
that nearly every day he had four
or five Mmall birds as companions.
They had wandered off from shore,
or were flying across the great bay
on the lawer cost of Maine, and had
dropped down to rest One day the
fisherman fell asleep while holding
bis line ; and upon suddenly opening
his eyes there sat a little bird on his
hand, demurely cocking its head
this way and that, as if wondering
wnetner ne was an old wreck: or a
piece of driftwood.
On the Cattle Ranches.
Little Rock, Are., Jan. 6. In
telligence from the grazing country
in the Indian Territority states that
tbe recent storms which covered the
ranges with several inches of snow
created consideiable suffering
among live stock, but the mortality
was slight The Wachita, Dickey,
McClelland and other large cattle
companies report their herds in fine
condition and estimate only nomi
nal losses. The fine weather late
in the fall produced good grazing,
which enabled the cattle to feed well
and withstand rough weather. The
ranchmen also took the precaution
to cure sufficient grass to sustain
the cattle through continued severe
weather. Generally in the Terri
tory there is but one cold snap dur
ing the winter season. This has
come and gone, and no fears of fur
ther losses are entertained.

God Help the Child.
Poking aound in a dark alley,
ahove which the great black ouild
ingd towered high, a patrolman
found a boy asleep in a barrel. The
night was wet and chilly, and the
child, who waa notrcore than 7, and
whose grimy and bony little limbs
could plainly be seen through the
rents in his clothing, had wrapped
an old sack of some kind about his
shoulders. At the further end of
the alley were brilliant lights, which
reflecting on the strewn of water
trickling over the granite blocks in
the centre of the narrow thorough
fare, gave it the appearance of i
silver rivulet. The olticera lantern
was thrown full on the Jad and
brought his wretchedness into strong
relief. Once the man stepped aside
as if to leave the boy, but, turning
again, his rough face full of kindly
sympathy, he fee it -ver the little
form and sp-.ke to the sleeper kind
ly. "God helj-the child," Paid the
officer under his breath, his thoughts
wandering off to his own little ones,
"Come Johnny, this is no place
for you. Come with me and sleep."
The boy made no move and the
officer hit the barrel with his club,
the blow echoing up and bown the
alley with a resounding crash. The
child was on his feet in an instant
with a brick in each of his bonv
hands. "Yer ain't got' no warn't
Mister Cop, and yer know it. Don't
yer put yer fluke on me, or I'i
mash out of you." "Go to
bed, Johnny, go to bed," observed
the officer, as he resumed his meas
ured tread, whistling a little as he
went, and then, when out of hear
ing and looking back into the dark
recess where a hlack little figure
could still be seen: "God help the
child, all tbe same.
A New Story of Greeley.
Here is a good Horace Greeley
story, which seems new to me. He
was walking home one night in New
York city with a friend whom we
will call Sanderson, because that
is bo unlike his real name, It was
cold and raw and windy. As they
struggled along thev were accosted
by a man who wanted 'a little as
fistance," "the price of a night's
lodging," or something of that nort
"No," said Greeley, in his peculiar
treble ; "no, you're lying ; you want
some money for whisk v. I won t
give it to vou." The man pleaded
for it again. "No," said Greely, "no
vou re a traud ; you can t have it,
and then they pushed on, leaving
him standing under a gaslamps
light, the very embodiment of woe.
As they turned away Greeley said
to Sanderson : "That was the right
wav to deal with the fellow, wasn't
it? ' "e8," said Sanderson : "of
course it was." But Greelev was
not satisfied. Before they had gone
halt a block he turned around with
"I wonder whether that fellow's still
there?" He was. Grt-tcy walked
back part way and ciiled him. The
fellow came. "There," said Greely,
'I guess you're a fraud, but take
that," thrusting a bill into his hand.
The fellow was profuse in thanks.
Greeley stopped them, and returned
to his companion. "You didn't give
that fellow anything?,' demanded
Sanderson. "Yb," Baid Greeley, "I
did. I was just darned fool enough
to give him a two-dollar bill."
