MITCHELL FARM MD SPRING WAGON.
ESTABLISHED FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS.
I have now on hand and offer for sale, at greatly reduced
prices for the next ninety days, the very best
WAGQK FOR GEKERAL USE,
Manufactured in the United States made by Mitchell, Lewis
& Co., Limited, Racine, W isconsin. Any person acquainted
with the superior points of the Celebrated
MITCHELL WAGON,
Which I am now selling, will certify to my statement that
they are the VERY BEST Farm Wagon made. They are in
general use now in nearly every country on the face of the
globe, and are adapted to every variety of climate. It is ac
knowledged by all to be the best proportioned, best ironed,
best finished, and lightest running wagon made. I present a
few facts that should be read by every fanner, about the Mitch
ell A agons :
1st. Great care is taken in selecting only the best timber
that grows, which is cnt at the proper season of the year and
piled under sheds until thoroughly seasoned. 2. The thimble
skeins are much heavier than any other skeins in use and are,
therefore, less liable to break. 3. The hubs are dodge-mortised,
which makes the strongest and most durable wheel that
can be constructed. 4. The patent box-coupIirig,used only by
this Company, prevents the wearing and weakening of the
axle. 5. The MITCHELL WAGON stands to-day at the
head and front of all competitors, and is known far and wide
as the strongest and most durable, unequaled in quality and
finish, and "monarch of the road wherever known and used.
Don't fail to give me a call, and see the wagon for yourself !
Remember, for the next NINETY DAYS I am selling these
wagons at greatly reduced prices. It will pay you to buy of me
and to buy now ! Prices furnished on application. -

A dt-wy morn, fragrant and sweet
With oewly blossomed flowers;
A rosy path to bounding feet
leading where glory towers ;
A heart with strong And steady beat
Spurning the lagiring boon ;
But that was yesterday.
Clasped in a true and fond embrace
And lored with tend' rest lore.
With kisses raining on my face
Like drops from cloads above ;
Heaven finding on earth a place
Like Noah's weary dove ;
But that was yesterday.
Believing all is pure and good.
In simple trust beguiled ;
The world's deceit misunderstood
And windings dark and wild
In which there tread the multitude
Of souls with guilt defiled ;
But that was yesterday.
Tleink'ng this world can surely bring
All joy and happiness;
Around one's soul a garment fling,
A garment sweet of bliss ;
That one might here forever sing
The song of love and peace ;
But that was yesterday.
So now I wonder when will com
The summons from on high,
That I at last shall be at home
Beyond the starry sky.
And in the beaveuly sunlit dome
I shall no longer sigh ;

A WIDOWED BRIDE.
A mellow pprine twilight, with the
crocuses liftine their tinv spears of
gold along the garden walks, and
early violets beginning to spangle
the ground with blue, on the south
side of running brooks. Such a twi
light as touches a thousand chords
of memory and involuntarily dis
poses one to sadness. Nor did Jim
Marchleigh, leaning back in the ex
press train with folded arms and
eves fixed dreamily on the amber
glory of the sunset, escape its influ
ence.
But he roused himselt with an ef
fort.
"I must pot let myself drift into
melancholy to-night of all nights in
the year," he said to himself as he
glanced at his watch. "I must re
member that 1 am going to be married."
John Marchleieh had been engag
ed for three years. For three years !
How long it had seemed when hrst
he plighted his troth to pretty Isa
bel Ives. How short it seemed now,
to look back upon. He had steadi
ly worked his way upward from al
most the lowest position in Messrs.
Howell & Starke s great importine
warehouse to a position well-to do
and comfortably salaried, and now
be was on his way to be married.
As he sprang from the train at
the little way station, the usual id
lers who haunt soch a place looked
at each other, with nudges, winks
and meaning glances.
"They all know that I am coming
home to be married, he thoueht.
coloring, and a little annojed. "Vil
lage eossip travels fast in a place
like this."
Yes. They knew that, and tbey
knew more. John Marchleigh
would hardly have whistled as buoy
antly as he did, croeiing the great
rye meadow, where a meandering
path close to the old stone wall
made a "short cut" of well nigh a
venerable proverb,
leiaure V
'A bride at Niagara Falls, with the
full beauty and freshness of her bri
dal toilette, all faint grays and pearl
colors, with a circlet of gold on her
wedding-finger, and orange buds in
the trimming of the dainty French
hat which Lad so excited the enyy
of the village girls ! Mrs. Captain
Evelyn ! She bad gained the goal of
her ambition and was she any the
happier for it?
She dared scarcely own the troth
ti herself; but although they had
not yet been married three days,she
was beginning to be afraid of her
husband. He was moody gloomy
subject to alternate fits of deep de
jection and boisterous spirits. He
had rated her severely, once or
twice, when he found hei sitting
alone and quiet
"I hate sulky people," said Capt
hvelyn. I like people to be in
spirits. I need amusing, and I sup
posed when I married you that you
would belp to amuse me I"

bride I
"Sitting all by yotrself, Bell V he
cried, gayly, as he came into their
private parlor.
"Yes," she answered, looking up
with a smile. "Where have you
been, Carston ?" j
"Taking a walk on Goat Island.
Thinking how best to break the news
to you."
"What news?" she asked, with
wondering eyes. '
'The news that l am not what I
seem. I am not Carston Evelyn at
all. I am don't fajnt, my love I
am the eldest son of a mormon
prophet. I have bought a ticket to
SaltLake City. W shall start this
afternoon. 1 have five other wives,
bat they are all peaceable, well-disposed
women. They will not quar
rel with you." t
Isabella started to her feet, pale
and trembling. j
"Now, don't be frkhtened. Don't
said her husband, persuasively. "It's
a very nice place out there. They're
very nice people. , 1 m quite sure
you'll like it, and if you don't, why
all you have to do is to come back
to your own people again. It's
quite an every-day thing there, 1 as
sure you. 2om, if you re going to
cry, I shall just clear out until the
snower is over. Anyioing out a
woman's tears 1"
He went out, mattered between
his closed lips what sounded very
much like an oath, and banged the
door behind him. While poor Bell,
overwhelmed with fright and terror,
' let her head fall on the window-sill,
and burst into tears. .
As sbe thus abandoned herself to
the agony of her distress, the sound
of voices on the piazza below were
wafted up to ber ears, as one hears
voices in a dream, meaningless
sounds at first, ULtil a name was
pronounced that made her start and
thrill.
"Cart ton Evelyn 1"
"Culls himself Captain Carston
Evelyn !'' retorted a second speaker.
"O, he's got as many names as
there are letters in the alphabet
And wbat adds to the point ot the
joke is that he's got a bride with

"Married?"
"Yes, married !"

Fall Wheat Sowing.
Fall wheat should not be sown
until September; August is too ear
ly. It is quite time enough to sow
wheat after corn is cut, and the corn
may be moved off from the field on
a sled or wagon-bed slung to the
axles near the ground. It is better
to move off the corn thau to make a
poor job by plowing around the
shocks. The corn ground should be
well plowed. Oat stubble land that
is to be seeded with grass would be
better prepared b ? plowing and har
rowing early in August and sown at
once without any grain being sown
with it Corn stubble should be
plowed in the fall, then cross plow
ed in the spring, and well harrowed
ed to fit it for the grass seeding. As
a rule good farmers advocate sowing
grass and clover seeds alone. The
writer has done this regularly, and
with satisfactory results every time
for seven or eight years.

While at Saratoga last week Gen.
Sherman stayed at the United States
hotel, and as soon as he appeared
on the piazza at the morning concert
ihe first day he was there, Mr.
Thorn pkins, the proprietor, instruct
ed the band to play the national airs
and ' Marching Through Georgia. "
When the Timt1 Saratoga corre
spondent said to General Sherman,
"I know you won't want so much
ostentation at your funeral as this
one (referring to that of Gen. Grant)
he answered with a plump, round
"No I" and added : "I want to make
all the noise while I am alive."
Then he-added, with great emphasis
on the first sentence : "My grave is
bought and paid for, I shall be
buried at St. Louis, where my child
ren are buried. When I go they
can put me in there and drive a
stake to mark the spot" -

Isabella Ives was an ambitions
girl, but up to this last lightning
swift episode in her life she had not
been a bad girl. She had loved
John Marchleigh truly and tenderly;
sbe had intended to remain constant

The impression that the domestic
dog of the old world bas descended
from wild species distinct from the
wolf may be well founded, but in
America the evidence tends to prove
that the Eskimo and other domestic
varieties of dogs were domesticated
by the aborigines and used by them
long anterior to the discovery of the
continent by the Europeans, the va
rieties in question originating from
the gray wolf or prairie wolf. First,
as to the Eskimo dog. From the
following extract from Frobisber it
appears evident that the Eskimo had
the present breed of domestic dogs
long anterior to the year 1577. Fro
bisber's account of tbe Eskimos
themselves is so far as we know, the
first extant, and id full and charac
teristic. Alter describing the natives
he goes on to say : "They frank or
keep certainedogs not much vuilke
woules, which they yoke togither, as
we do oxen and horses, to a sled or
traile ; and so carry their necessaries
aver the yce and snow from place
to place ; as the captive whom we
haue, made perfect signes. And
when those dogs are not apt for the
same vse ; or when with hunger they
are constrained for lack of other vit
uals, they eate them so that they
are as needful for them in respect of
their bigness as our oxen are lor vs."
Confirmatory of the theory of the
pre-Columbian origin of
THE I5DIAN DOG
may be cited the following extract
from Hakluyt s Voyages regarding
the Indian dogs then on Cape Bre
ton Island, page 1593 : "Here di
vers of our men on land upon the
very cape, where at their arrivall
the found the spittes ot Oke of tbe
savages which had roasted meate a
Lttle before. And as they viewed
the countrey tbey sawe divers bestes
and foules, as blacke foxes, deere,
otters, great foules with red legges,
pengwyns and certain others.
Thereupon nine or tenne of his fel
lows running right vp over the bush
es with great agilite and swiftness,
came toward vs with white statues
in their hands like halie pikes, and
their dogges. of colour blacke, not
so bigge as a greybounde, followed
them at the heeles ; but wee retired
ynto our boate without any hurt at
all received."
it is probably this variety the,
bones of which have been found by
Dr. J. Wymah, in the shell heaps of
Casco Bay, Maine. "The presence j
of the bones of the dog might be ac
counted for on the score of its being
a domesticated animal, but tbe fact
that they were not only found min
gled with those of the edible kinds,
but like them were broken up, sug
gests the probability of their having
been used as food. We have not
seen it mentioned, however, by any
of the earlier writers, that such was
the ense along the coast, though it
appears to have been otherwise with
regard to some of the interior tribes,
as tbe Hurons.- With them, game
being scarce, venison was a luxury
found only at feasts, and dog flesh
was in high esteem.
It is. possible that
TEE KEWFOCNDLA.ND DOG
was indigenious on that island, and
also an offshoot of the gray wolf, al
lied to the iukimo. In their New
foundland," Messrs. Hatton fc Har
vey say that there are a few fine
specimens of the world-renowned
"Newfoundland dog ' to be met with
now in the island from which it de
rived its name. "The origin of this
tine breed is lost in obstnrity. It is
doubtful whether the aborigines pos
sessed the dog at all ; and it is high
ly improbable that the Newfound
land dog is indigenious. Some hap
py crossing of breeds may have pro
duced it here. The old settlers say
that the ancient genuine breed con
sisted of a dog about twenty-six
inches high with black ticked body,
gray muzzle, and gray or white
stockinged legs, with deer claws be
hind." "It is now generally admit
ted that there are two distinct types
of the Newfoundland dog, one con
siderably larger than tbe other and
reckoned as tbe true breed ; the oth
er being named the Labrador or St
John's, or Lesser Newfoundland.
The latter is chiefly found in Labra
dor, and specimens are also to be
met with in Newfoundland."
Regarding the dogs of the Mexi
can Indians, Nadaillac says in his
"Prehistoric America :" "The Euro

In a recent visit to Mexico, not
only along the railroads, but in the
course of a stage ride of about 500
miles through provincial Mexico,
from SalUllo to San Melguel, we
were struck by the
RESEMBLANCE OF TBE DOGS TO THE
COYOTE.
There can be little doubt but that
they are the descendants of a race
which sprang from the partly tamed
coyote of the ancient Mexican In
dians. At one village (Montezuma)
we saw a hairless or Canb dog, as
we supposed it to be.
Finally that the domestic dog and
gray as well as the prairie wolf will
hybridize bas been well established.
We then were much struck by the
wolf-like appearance of the dogs
about an encampment of Crow In
dians, as well as the fort ; they were
of tbe size and color of the coyote,
but less hairy and with a less bushy
tail. Tbey were much like those
lately observed in Mexico, and I
have never seen such dogs elsewhere.
Their color was a whitish tawny,
like that of
i Shoshones, Arapahoes, Crcws,Sioux,
which, to one familiar with the col
or, physiognomy, and habits of the
coyote, have every appearance of
blood relationship, if not in many
cases, this animal itself in a state of
semi-domestication. The free inter
breeding of these animals with a
perfectly fertile product, has been so
often repeated to me by thoroughly
reliable authorities, and whose op
portunities for observation were am

accept Dr. Coues' statement"

twenty miles east of the great state

were soon in a beautiful town, the
subjectof our sketch. A a the town
is unknown, and closely isolated,
it will be well to give iu locality.
It is southwest of Kansas. The val
ley is some ten miles wid at thb
place, and the soil is very fertile. It
is called Viorle, and has a popula
tion of 1,000.
Viorle is a distinct town. It mak

deathegulates all matters of equity,
and dictates the religious and social
status. Viorle has no hotel, no
place for a stranger. We could get
nothing to eat only at private
houses. Viorle wondered at us get

the propriety of ejectment It had
been a long time since strangers
were in their midst However, after
a long parley and due deliberation,
we were permitted to remain. The
town was laid out and settlement
commenced by a company of relig

since which time select families
have been added. In tbe beginning
it was decreed tlAt all things ahouM

They went to Raleigh to the State

organized themselves into a concert

The most remarkable performan

much like the pealing of a grind

There are really no stores, but

One afternoon, as I was returning
from this forest with my men. who
had been felling trees, walking in

custom, a tiger suddenly slipped
from the jungle bordering the road,
and in a moment struck down a
youth a few yards before me. I dar

youth : but his father, who was
walking just in front of him,
armed with a spear, dashed on it
and gave it a right willing thrust,
which, with tbe theatenicg group,
made it quit its hold, when it sprang
into the thick jungle. It wa9 all the
work of a moment ; the stroke of
its paw did not seem to be tremen

penetrated so deeply into the chest
and shoulders of the youth that he
survived scarcely a quarter of an
