THE remark of Piah, the Ute chief,
to Gov. McCook, that "great warriors never
work," bat ought to be supported in laziness by
the labor of otners, may excite a smile, yet the
view expressed by the uncivilized Indian is on
a par with that of many people, who appear to
think that Grant, on the grouua of his military
record, has a perpetual claim to the office of
President, to tne exclusion of others who made
far greater sacrifices to the cause of the Union
than he. Unlike Artemus Ward, Grant has
not even sacrificed bis wife's relations in the
cause of his country, but gave them all a
chanfce to put their hands into the national

inroads have been made of late years in the

English heritage; and it is not unduly venture
some to predict that the Roman system, founded
as it is, not upon arbitrary customs and national
traditions, but upon the axioms of essential
justice and right reason, will ultimately dis
place the last lingering remnant of mediteval
feudalism.

THE Cuban slaveholders are willing
that abolition be carried far enough to liberate
all their alavea who hare reached the age of
aixty years. In other words, thev propose that
the old negro who has devoted the vigor of
youth and the mature strength of manhood to
the service of his master shall now be turned
loose to starve, while the grown-up children of
the aged freed men are to be kept in bondage,
and thus prevented from contributing to the
support or their parents. A negro who has
toiled almost from infancy until his sixtieth
year on a Cuban plantation can be of but little
tue to his owner, whose evident duty it would
aeem to be to provide for the superannuated
servant duriua the remainder of his days. The
proposition of the slaveholders to turn their
old slave* oat to starve ie worthy of the record
of slavery in Cuba.

» ' AN examination of the stock list wiil
1 . show the most extravagant and unwarranted
advance in prices. Stocks that are known to
be substantially worthless have been seized
upon by the speculators, and they are quoted at
prices which tne best paying stocks will scarcely
warrant. All this booming in prices is purely
speculative, and the result of wild excitement,
if not dishonest conspiracy. For those persons
who are professional dealers we have no word
iof advice. They understand their business
and are prepared for all kinds of weather. But
we advise greenhorns nnd amateurs iu the race
for maknie money to go slow. The innocent
dupe will' in the end lo«e his tnoi.ey, and heavv
losees will be sore to fall upon those who are
unable to bear them. Gambling is always un
certain business, but to p'ay against stocked
cards is madness. Let the bulls and the bears
fight out their own battles. For them there is
neither sympathy nor consideration. Bat for
the unhappy victims of their art we offer in
time a word of warning.

ONE of the reports from Gen. Mer
ritt's advance mentions the finding of a white
man's body among the Indian dead in a posi
tion which indicated that he bad been fighting
in their ranks. This gives fresh color to the
accusation that the Utes have had Mormon as
sistance in their hostilities. It is a subject
which deserves official investigation. The great
tribe of Ute Indians consists of many separate
hands, and occupies both slopes of the moun
tainous ridge which forms the eastern rim of
the Great Basin. Before the settlement of the
Mormons in Utah, thirty years ago, it was a
tribe of degraded habit* and inferior intelli
gence. Its elevation is due mainly to associa
tion with the Mormons, who early baptized
some of the prominent chiefs into their Church
and acquired an influence among them which
was attempted to be nsed to the detriment of
the United States in the Mormon rebellion of
1857. Daring Brigham Young's terra as Gov
ernor of Utah Tcrritorv he united with that
office the superintendence of Indian affairs,
and in that capacity seduoosly impressed upon
the Indians that* there was a distinction in
friendliness toward them between Mormons aud
other white men.

WHEN* the Colorado potato beetle
was first met with Paris green, it was unaccept
able to many, for fear the plant would absorb
the arsenic, and that such vegetable food would
be injurious to health. The United States
Department of Agriculture undertook an ex
amination, and its chemist reported that the
plant did not absorb the arsenical malarial
placed in the soil to test the question. Now
the results of some more recent experiments
are published, as made by Prof. D. E. Davy,
under the auspices of the Royal Dublin Society
of Ireland. He finds that the plants used in
his experiments do absorb arsenic, and this too
in considerable quantity. There mav be some
thing that will reconcile these conflicting re
sults; and, if so, it should be mafic plain to
the agriculturist, who is taught to depend
largely on the teachings of agricultural science.
If plants can absorb anything that they may
chance to be growing among, what use can we
make of plant analysis? At present some one
analyzes a plant, finds its constituents, and the
farmer is asked to return these constitutcuts to
the soil, if he would manure properly. Should
he return arsenic when arsenic is found in the
plant? These conflicting results ought not to
be allowed to rest here. The exact truth is
of great practical importance.

THE number of people who swell
around high-priced watering places all summer
on nothing promises to lie materially reduced
if the system adopted by a Newport florist be
comes general. A young swell had whilel
away most of the warm days in the delightful
employment of sending bouquets to his lady
friends, but he didn't seem to concern himself
about paying for them. The florist, having a
peculiar idea that he ought to expect something
in return for his flowers, went after the young
man a great many times with his bill. lie
went often enough, without any particular ad
vantages from it ; to get very tired of the busi
ness and conspicuously out of patience. The
florist then sent a note to the dilatory yo#ng
man just to let him know that the address of
the ladies to whom he had ordered bouquets
sent had been kept, and that a system of send
ing the bills direct to the ladies had been
adopted in cases where gentlemen had forgotten
to foot the bill* themselves. In an exasperating
sort of way the florist indicated that he was
confident he would have no difficulty in getting
his pay when the bills were presented to the
ladies. It may be taken for granted that if
those bouquets are not immediately paid for
that young man has gone Wc9t to grow up as
an Italian count or something sweet of that
sort.

SOME calculating genius has been
working upon the Indian problem and figures
itout thus: Each family of wild Indians, when
it subsists bv hunting alone requires 10,000
acres of land to enable it to live comfortably.
This much land will subsist at least 100 families
of civilized white people. At the bottom these
facts constitute tne real substance of tlie con
troversy between the Utes and the frontiersmen
which nas led to the present war in Colorado.
It is claimed that there is no longer hunting
ground to spare for the wild Indians, and they
resent being penned up in small reservations,
where they cannot earn their living in their
old savage "way. When yon succeed in domes
ticating chicken hawks so that these birds will
consort in peace and propriety with your poul
try, then you may turn, with slight hope only,
to the subject of teaching Indians to forget the
ingrained thought and impulse of countless
centuries of wild life and convert them to the
life and habits of (he white tillers of the soil.
The idea of Anglo-Saxon civilization for Sit
ting Bull is right enough in theory, but it is
simply impracticable, and that is all there is of
it. We believe that the true "Indian Policy"
is to protect our own settlers, let them settle
where they please, and make the Indians get
out of the road. The sooner they are exter
minated the better, both for them and us.

W HAT must be regarded as a very
remarkable thing occnrred at Lancaster, this
State, the other day. There was a stranger in
town who wanted to get married, and the lady
with whom he was boarding—a widow—under
took the management of the affair. She called
in the girls of the neighborhood, one after
another, until ten had passed in review before
the fellow, but none of them seemed to answer.
The eleventh girl was more unfortunate, for
she met his requirements, and she, doubtless
relying upon the representations of the widow,
accepted him. Her name was Ida Brencman,
and he gave his name as Eugene de Lyon.
They were married, and as a matter of course
he has since disappeared, and it is ascertained
that he hns a wife at llarrisburg. The marriage
of yonng women to men who have wives in
other parts of the country is not an uncommon
thing, but it is a new feature of the business to
set up the girls cf a neighborhood for a stranger
to take his pick from. It bears pretty heavily
upon one's credulity to lielieve that such a
thing could happen m a civilized community,
but in this instance there doesn't appear to be
any doubt that the facts are as stated. It is the
hardest thing possible to make a young woman
lieiicve that she doesn't know everything iu
this world, and the average of the sex have a
way of their own of resenting any kindly
advice that may be offered them. Most of them
live long enough, however, to find out just how
little they really do know, but what one learns
is hardly ever of any ad vantage to another.

Tns London Time H is authority
for the statement that the district of Trebizond,
in Turkey, sends aunually to England |100,(KK»
worth of hazelnuts. A large trade iu walnuts
is also carried on by the people of that district,
who have a double object in view in cultivating
the walnut trees. The wood is valuable, esiic
cially the "knobs," which find a good market
in France, where they are nsed in ornamental
woodwork. The people of this country might
get a hint from a business of this kind. Some
of the nut-bearing trees produce the most valu
able wood ; and culture of the proper kind
improves tne quality of the fruit. The destruc
tion of forests has been going on at a fearful
rate for a number of years, and no effectual
means have been adopted to prevent It. If,
therefore, It shall be found that the most valued
i timber trees may be profitably cultivated for
their fruit, there will lie a sufficient induce
ment for planting and guarding them. Many
fruits, wnich in their wild state arc but little
esteemed, have by persevering eulture been im
proved in quality and increased in size, and it
may be that some of the neglected ones of our
sylvan districts are worth the labor needed to
place them In favorable circumstances. The
little triangular nut of the beech tree IKI-I a
most exquisite flavor, and if its sire may be
incrcasccf an edible oil might be expressed
from it which would be more plcusant to the
taate than the walnut oils of Italy. The haw
trees belong to a fajnily which produces many
of our most agreeable fruits, and, if they be
well educated, it is possible that they may lie
improved. Their flavors are gouj, aud they

Killed at a Well.
William McKee lost his life by a very sin
gular accident up at West Branch, Thursday.
On the Curtis farm John Hindrnan is drilling
a well for the American Oil Companv and
second sand had been reached. The drillers
were dressing a piece of iron at the forge when
a fragment of white hot metal fell into the oil
on the derrick floor, instantly creating a blaze.
McKee at the time was in the engine house.
The reversing cord was burned in two and one
end became wrapped around the fly wheel.
By this means a pole was drawn down upon Mc-
Kee's head with great force, fracturing his skull,
lie was carried into a shanty near by Dr. Hop
kins. The accident occurred about 11 a.m.,
and the injured man lingered with periods of
consciousness until 7 p. m., when he died.
McKee was fifty years of age and formerly
lived at Fairview, Butler county. The re
mains were taken to his old home for inter

A Shocking Accident.
A horrible accident occurred at Baden, But
ler county, yesterday afternoon, the particulars
of which are as follows : A teamster named
Patrick McMann was driving a large wagon
filled with stones. The load proved too heavy
for the vehicle, and upon being jolted over a
rut in the streets the wagon bed broke down.
McMann was seated upon the top of the load,
and when the bed gave way in the middle he
was drawn down between the stones in such a
manner that his legs and head were left stick
ing out of the heap. The other parts of his
body were terribly crushed, causing death in
stantly. Some gentlemen who witnessed the
accident cxtricited the lifeless form and re
moved it to a house near by. McMann was
only nineteen years of age and has a sister re
siding in Pittsonrgh.— Pctrolia Record, Oct. 18.

measures 14 fe<jt 4 inches in height with a
breadth of 51 feet. The main floor is 22 by 110
in the clear, and has a broad, ample appearance,
which strikes one most favorably. The enlarged
space over their whole quarters gives an oppor
tunity to show any large stock most advantage
ously, whilst the convenient arrangement will
facilitate the handling of goods, both in receiv
ing and selling, which cannot be excelled by
any house we have knowledge of. In the centre
of the room has been placed the offices, from
which poir.t a grand view of all the workings
and routine of the establishment may ba over
looked and directed. All the fixtures, counters
shelves are of black walnut. The office and
balustrade is of pine finished with and in wal
nut. The effect is heightened by the uniform
white ceilings and walls made more beautiful
by excellent light from the skylight in second
story, 12x16, of hammered glass, with iron
frame. This light affords ample light to any
part of the store. From a wide, easy-ascending
stairwav, with platform in centre, we arrive
upon the second floor, which is one of the
handsomest rooms we have ever seen. The
area is the same as main floor, with exception
of the skylight opening, wiiich is 18 by 30 feet.
In the rear of this floor is located the ladies'
dressing room, with all conveniences, which
will be an especially important and acceptable
feature to ladies coming from the country. A
new line of goods will be added shortly, and
the space in front devoted to the purpose. The
third floor extends over the front merely. It
is, however, a very commodious store room,
where reserve stock will be placed and goods
arranged for stock. The receiving anil deliver
ing will be done in the rear, where a private
ten-foot alley connects with Park Way.
The admirable plan of this building, and the
execution of the contracts "on tine," are due
mainly to the ability of E. M. Butz, the well
known architect of Allegheny. A measure of
praise is also attached to the name of Mr. John
Alston, an old and well-known builder of Alle
gheny, who carried out all the building ininutte.
Messrs. C. Wattley & Co. speak with the great
est satisfaction and in terms of the highest
praises in regard to Mr. B;itz 6c Alston, as well
as Messrs. Forrester & Alston, stone contractors;
Lovett Bros., pressed brick contractors ; Messrs.
Anderson & Porter, iron contractor* ; William
Irwin, galvanized iron and tin work ; Tate &
Munden, plumbing; 11. I'. Butz & Co., paint
ing; Messrs. Young A Bro., plate glass—all of
these gentlemen did their part of the work with
promptness, and to the entire satisfaction of the
owners of the buildings.
Messrs. C. Wattley & Co.'s stock has been
entirely renewed and their offerings for fall
trade will be seen in the announcements to
follow shortly. It is now stocked with the
choicest lines of goods which they have ever
offered, and which can be sold on the very best
terms. As the firm own their building, which
was erected at the right time on favorable
terms, cash paid in every instance which also
enables thein to carry on business at a very
small rental, which will naturally accrue to
the advantage of their patrons. It is their in
tention to give every opportunity to the cus
tomer, carry the fullest and choicest line of
goods in this section, and impress upon the
public the fact that their new location, increased
space and enlarged experience is for their
benefit in the main. Their facilities for placing
goods in the hands of the consumer at a very
small advance above cost, is shown by the fact
that in embroideries alone they have an agency
in Switzerland, where all their embroideries
and laces, and a large portion of ladies' neck
wear is manufactured and shipped directly to
the house.
Othcrconneetions equally advantageous afford
their patrons opportunities unsurpassed for
placing good reliable wares at cheap rates upon
their counters at all times.

The Shenango & Allegheny Railroad Com
pany, Wednesday last, defaulted on the interest
on the mortgage bond of $1,200 f OOO due on that
(lav. We understand that application has been
made to the Mercer county Court for the ap
pointment of a Receiver. Pending this appoint
ment, the officers of the Company are making
vigorous efforts to raise the necessary funds
($42,000) to meet the interest, and feel confident
of being able to do no. The default is princi
pally owing to the general depressed condition
of railroad matters during the first six months
of the present year,hut particularly the marked
decline of oil shipment* by the Standard Oil
Company, whose interests in the Bradford
regions have assumed such proportions that
their principal shipments are made from that
point. With the improvement of business in
general ami the increased rates now charged by
railroads, we believe that the Shenango Com
pany's embarrassment is but temporary, and
that it will soon emerge from its present diffi
culty.— Sfeadville Index.

[PRIVATE OFFICE.]
SEPTEMBER 13, 1879.
MR. NICHOLAS BAQGS, Manager Pittsburgh Branch Store:
Dear Sir —l have concluded to close our Branch Store io Pittsburgh at
the end of the present lease, which expires with this season.
The people of Pittsburgh and vicinity gave us a cordial welcome and ft
most hearty support, and this makes it harder to shut up our house; but the
fact is, the store room, 29 Fifth avenue, never suited us, and wo were unable
to get exactly what we wanted. And more than that, our business is increas
ing so rapidly that we find it to our interest to CONSOLIDATE OUR EF
FORTS and mass all our best clerks. You may have heard by this time that
we have secured the property adjoining us on Chestnut street, and are now
fitting it up for a NEW DEPARTMENT for a BOYS' AND YOUNQ
MEN'S CLOTHING DEPARTMENT. You will also be glad to know that
business is "booming" at OAK IIALL—OUR OLD standby—where, for
nearly 20 YEARS we have done the LARGEST BUSINESS in the United
States. WE SHALL KEEP THE STOCK UP IN FULL ASSORT
MENT UNTIL THE CLOSE OF THE HOUSE, BUT YOU MAY
MARK THE PRICES LOW ALL THE WAY THROUGH, aa we
prefer to sell everything out clean.
Yours truly,
JOHN WANAMAKER.
