A letter from Montana describes a strange and terrible scene among the Indians there. A young brave having insulted one of four young squaws must defend himself against the com bined attack of the four sisters. The writer describes the assembling of the Indians to witness tie contest, and goes on to say : Now the lines are broken and the tribe forms a hnge ring into which the savage who provoked the animosity of the Polecat family is summarily thrust. He looks sullen and dogged. He has a hard fight before him, and he knows it, but he is a man of his hands and he means to wear those girls out if it lies in muscle and prompt and effectual work. He may strike them anywhere above the breast, and kill them if a blow on the neck will do it, but bullets and arrows are ready for him if he strikes foul. The girls on the other hand, must take off his apron. If they accomplish that, he is disgraced to the uttermost moment of his life, driven from his tribe, left to starve on the prairie, and all Indians cautioned against harboring, feeding or associat ing with him. The injured woman is allowed to have such squaws as she may select to assist her But if she chooses too many to effect her purpose it is a disgrace to her, and so she is careful to select only enough the battle nearly equal. The Polecat girls are the belles of the Yankunais tribe. It a squaw can be pretty, these girls are beautiful, and by virtue of their attractions and their father's possessions in horses and other satisfactory property they are the aristocrats of the camp. Perhaps for that reason they ask no help in their present undertaking; and for that rea son also, perhaps, their savage sisters giggle and exchange whispers as the four girls sfr>p into the ring and ap proach the waiting buck. All five are in full war paint. Down the hunter's cheeks aud along his ueck are alternate sepia and green and yellow stripes on a background of brilliant rid, while his chest, sides and back are tricked out with rude pictures of guns, bows and horses. The girls have smeared their faces with a coating of red, over which lies anoiher of green striped with yel low. Their hair is unfastened at the back, and the front locks are braided with otter fur. Each wears a skirt and leggings, but their blankets are laid aside and their muscular brown arms are displayed. There are no preliminaries. The girls dash at their enemy and attempt to grasp him If all hands manage to get hold of him half the battle is ac complished. But he meets them squarely and fairly, planting a cruel blow between the eyes of the girl he bad injured, knowing that if she is finished he can compel her to call off the rest. She is the general of the at tacking force and the prime object of his attack. Over she goes like a pine wheel, but she is up again, her face streaming with blood and her eyes swelling The elder girl has contrived to secure a waist hold and locked her hands behind bis back. His fists fall upon her upturned face with frightful force, but she keeps her hold. The other two girls are pressing him hard from behind, but his elbows work like battering rams, and one steps back with her hands pressed tightly to her breast and a look of agony in her eyes. Now he whirls suddenly, planting ponderous blows upon the face and head of the girl who, on her knees, still clings to his waist with a death grip. He fairly raises her from the ground as he spins, but her hold never relaxes. His earlier victim again dashed at him and is rewarded by a crashing stroke on the mouth. She reels, but recovers and darts again to receive his fist on her neck with a force that whirls her half a dozen paces off and drops her like a log. Not a word is spoken. The thug of his fists, and the heavy breathing of the struggling contestants are the only sounds. The last rally of the prostrate girl has enabled the rear party to catch the buck, and oue has twined her arms around his neck, while the other hangs to the right wrist. His left hand is still free, and it fairly twinkles in the air as he batters the maiden at his wrist. Her grasp is like iron, but her head reels and sways as his heavy hand falls on it with a noise j that reaches the furtheredt side of the irregular ring. Her eyes are closed and her breath comes convulsively. Were the fourth girl there to grasp that arm, the fight would soon end. The girl behind is choking him, and he employs new tactics. Grasping the kneeling girl by the throat, be pounds the face of the one behind hint with the back of his head. No vanity prompts are to let go. She tightens her grip, and buries her face in the back of his neck. . The fourth girl is up, stagger ing and dazed. Brushing the blood from her eyes with an augry motion, she approaches him, crouching as she moves. If the blow be has iu store for her reaches the mark he will have another chance, for tho girl at his waist is growing faint, and he can easily disposa of the other two. She comes at him like a cougar. The blow is delivered full upon her breast, but she grasps his wrist ami writhes up bis arm. Now be is beset with danger. The two on bis arms and tbe one at bis waist pull him forward, tbe girl behind still strangling him, throws her weight on his back It vain he attempts to straighten. Tbe kneeling girl bends in her despairing struggle until her hair bangs on tbe ground. Tbe other three show the muscles rigid in their arms as they press bim down upon their kneeling sister. Suddenly he springs backward with a marvelous effort of strength. The fainting girl at bis waist finds ber bands torn apart. But that triumph was his defeat. With a crash be comes to tbe ground, three girls upon him. One plants herself on his face and the other two kneel on his arms. There is a struggle, and then the youngest rises with a wild yell, waving tbe apron in her band. Her yell is echoed by a low moan as tbe mother of tbe prostrate hunter stag »e: - s out of the circle, and by a grunt of satisfaction hs Polecat recognizes the victory of his girls. To-morrow, somewhere up the river, that disgraced buck will be found with a bullet in his brain To-night the streets of the camp are deserted, for it has been a day of excitement and the people are tired. In the tent of the suffering chiefs wife Bear Trail is pounding bis drum and yelling his prayers, for his medicine was only half vindicated by the triumph of the morn ing. Down in Chief Polecat's lodge four bruised and weary girls are meud ing each other's wounds with sisterly solicitude, and at the outer edge of the camp a bent old woman looks wistfully , away to the north, where the shadows j have swallowed up the form of the dis graced warrior. A Naiily Declaration. Don Cameron closes his last cam paign with his greatest blunder. By foolishly attempting to bully Govern or Hoyt into subjection he has driven bin to open revolt. It has been known for weeks that the Governor's sympathies were with the Independ ents, but he naturally felt some delica cy in avowing them openly. He was nominated and elected Governor by the aid of the machine methods which the Independents are seeking to de stroy, and he could not turn against Cameron without subjecting himself to a charge of ingratitude. He was, therefore, keeping silent and taking no part in the campaign. This did not suit Don Cameron. After the usual Boss style, he cracked his whip over the Governor and attempted to force him to the support of General Bea ver. He ordered his Harrisburg or gan to attack him as a warning of his coming wrath, and then spread abroad a report that the Governor was about to declare allegiance to Beaver. No longer ago than Friday morning a letter was published by a tool of Cam eron in Harrisburg saying that the writer had received a letter from the Governor in which he declared him self a friend aud supporter of the Bea ver ticket. This appears to have goaded the Governor into open revolt, for on Saturday he publishes his letter of emancipation. It is a remarkable document. We can readily believe that it will influ ence thousands of Republicans who were intending to support Beaver to east their votes for Stewart. It is the voice of one machine Governor warning the people against electing an other. "When I reflect," he says, "upon the humiliation put upon my self as Chief Magistrate for resisting some of the purposes of the machine, which puts politics above administra tive propriety, and when I reflect up on the force of the insulting methods applied to myself by meaus of threats, intrigue and bad faith, I realize some of Cardinal Wolsey's regrets that he had only served his God with half the zeal he had served his king." That was the impressive outburst of a man who has found machine dictation in tolerable. He cannot maintain his self respect and keep silent: "In the name of decency and in behalf of my successor, I wish to emphasize the curs<; of the whole business and sound a note of warning to the whole people." We presume that this dec laration will be sufficient to end the foolish talk about unloading Cameron and electing Beaver at the same time. Governor Hoyt shows that the Boss considers the office of Governor his personal property, to be used as he shall dictato, without regard to the welfare of the whole people. The surest way to cure him of that notion is to defeat his candidate and thus show him that hereafter the Republi cans of the State and not Don Came ron will select the candidate. Governor Hoyt has had the courage to break away from the curse of the system which helped to elect him, but does anybody suppose that General Beavor would be man enough to do the same if he was elected ? Assured ly not. He has refused to pledge himself to independent action on the ground that it "would be ju9t as dis honorable to pledge one's self against a man as for him." He says he would rather not be Governor than unload the boss who is so absolute a dictator that, in the language of the present Governor, "iu all the space between abject submission and rebellion no place is given for appeal, argument or protest." General Beaver thinks it would be dishonorable for him to pledge himself to prefer the welfare of the people to the interests of such a Boss, and .he must be taken at his word. Tho people will listen to the voice of experience as it is uttered by Governor lloyt and leave Beaver to his fate. After four years of service as machine Governor the present Ex ecutive sounds a "note of warning to the whole people" that the position is intolerable to auy honest, patriotic man. There was hardly a chance for Beaver's electiou before this letter was published, and we presume there is none whatever now.

About twenty-five per cent of the entire production of domestic wool ( during the census year 1880, came from two States, Ohio and California, , the former with 25,000,000 pounds, and the latter with 1T,000,000 pounds; ! in 1870 the product of the former was 20,000,000, and of tho latter 11,000,- ( 000 pounds. The next States in the ' order of importance as woolgrowers in 1880, were Michigan, with 12,000,000; New York with 9,000,000; Pennsylva nia with 8,000,000; Missouri with 7,- 000,000. Texas produces nearly as much as the latter State; in 1870 it produced only 2,250,000 pounds. The total product of the Union in 1880 was 155,000,000 pounds, clipped from 35.- 000,000 sheep.

We rniirhi even put the case in a stronger light and affirm that man is his food. It is strictly and literally true, that "a man who drinks beer thinks beer." We make this concession to the teetotalers, but will add that good sound beer is by no means a bad thought factor, j whatever may be the intellectual value of the commodity commonly sold and consumed under that name ! It can ; not obviously be a matter of indiffer ence what a man eats or drinks. He i is, in fact, choosing his animal aud | moral character when he selects his ( food.

The same law of results is applicable to man, and every living organism is propagated "in its kind" with a physical and mental likeness. This is the underlying prin ciple of development. Happily the truth is'beginuing, though slowly and imperfectly, to fiud a recognition it has long been denied. A Mounter Nice! .Spring. Ou the 17th of October, there was made at Pittsburgh the largest steel spring in the world. It is the Grst of a series of eight destined to act as street car motors. The initial spring was made of open hearth steel, with a carbon percentage of 0.55. The ingot was cast 14x14 and 7 feet long. To properly heat this bloom, a heat ing furnace 30 feet in length was built at the Superior Iron and Steel Works, Pittsburgh. The next operation, the final rolling, was the most interesting, and was only possible through the use of the Kloman "nuiversal" mill or rolls. These .had been devised by the late Andrew Kloman, and havo become widely known in connection with the first successful rolling of weldless steel eyebars for structural purposes. By means of hydraulic press-ure, acting through a toggle joint, an enormous pressure can be brought to bear upon the metal during its pas sage between the rolls, while a very quick reversal is also possible. The steel bloom referred to was rolled in this mill, in 30-foot sections, down to a length of 150 feet and 6x£ inches, and finally to a length of~3lo feet and a perfectly uniform width of f» icches and a thickness of inch. Its weight wus then 1,700 pounds; and to ship it, the spring was coiled around a 4-foot pulley, the latter be ing given a slow motion as the band emerged from the heating furnace. The process of tempering, final cool ing, etc., will be done in Philadel phia by the United States Spring Car Motor </'o. When Ireland had her own Par liament, it was not always Curran, or Oratton, or Hamilton who must j have furnished the greatest delight to | the House, but such gentlemen as . Boyle Roche, who once exclaimed, j "Mr. Speaker, I would give the half j of the Constitution—nay, the whole of it—to preserve the remainder." This same cbiki of Erin wrote from a country seat, where he was stay ing, to a frien l in Dublin: "At this very moment, my dear, I am writ ing with a sword iu oue hand and a pistol iu the other." He was also beard to speak in the severest terms of "a certain anonymous writer nam ed Junius." Denouncing his oppo nents in Parliament, ho thus apos trophised them ; "You are trying to raise a tempest, but 1 will nip it in the bud;" which reminds one of the English judge: "Prisoner at the bar, God gave you health and strength ; instead of which you go about steal ing cows." In truth, neither naivete, nor humor, nor wit are the exclusive possession of any one nationality; rather do they display touches of human feeling which makes the whole world kin. TIIE SUWANEE RIVER. —The song writer who embalmed the name of this stream in his verses, "builded better than he knew :" "Way down U|H>U de Sawnee Ribbcr, Far, far away: Par's whar my heart is turning ebber, l>ar's whar tie old folks stay. All around de whole creation, Kbery whar I roam ; Sighing for de old plantation, And for de old folks at home. The words are in the rude dialect of the plantation, but the sentiment touches ibe universal heart. As in the Crimean bivouac, when "Kach soldier thought a different name, But all sang Annie Laurie," so the song of the Suwanee calls up to every hearer tender thoughts of home and its endearing ties. The name of the river is not, as many suppose, wholly aboriginal. The early Spanish explorers, in accordance with their pious custom, named the river | San Juan.

Hauling and spreading manure in the fail is a practice commended by the experience of many capable farm ers. There is more time to do it then than in the spring, and benefit to the land is unquestionably much greater. The best plan for keeping grapes is to wrap each bunch in newspaper and |ak closely in boxes, and keep in a cool, dry room, not allowing the tem |>eraturt> of the room to get below freezing point at any time through the wiuter. According to Professor Beal, of lowa, the bat, instead of being an ob ject of aversion, should be regarded a* a true "friend of man," as it is a *reat destroyor of insects, and unlike inaor of the tropical species, does no harai to man or beast. The wheat crop at the West is now reported to have beeu over estimated by about 100,000,000 bushels. The present estimate is 500,000,000 bush els, and it is believed that the foreign demand will take all that cau be spar ed at fair prices. A friend writes us from Hartford, Coun., that be raised a sunflower of the California variety this season which measured 36 inches in circumference and 4 inches thick. He also raised a Mexican cucumber 42 inches long and 12 inches around, and bad ripe strawberries a» late as September 9. Corn will shrink from the time it is husked from the field or shock in au tumn, in well-protected cribs, from 20 to 30 per cent, by spring. That is, 100 busbols will shrink to 70 or 80, ac cording to bow dry it was when gath ed. Sound corn will shrink 20 per cent., so that 40 cents per bushel is as good as 50 cents in the spring. "If your tomato vines have plenty of green fruit on," say 6 the Orange County Farmer, "pick off the full grown ones, lay them in a warm room, and they will all ripen, and will be equal to the best you have during the summer. We have managed to have an abundance of them by this method as late as the middle of December. A cool dry room will ripen them slowly, and a warm room will hurry|them up." The Massachusetts Society for the Promotion of Agricultural recently of fered to furnish, to farmers interested in sheep husbandry, rams of improved breeds at a merely nominal sum. The offer elicited a great many applications from all parts of the Commonwealth. As a result, the Society will import about forty rams of different breeds. It is thought that this action will have considerable influence in securing im provement in the flocks, and lead to a renewed interest in the raiaing of sheep in the State. A wealthy widower of this State, three or four days before the formal engagement which proceeded his second marriage transferred all bis real estate to trustees to be held in trust for him self during his life, and after his death to be conveyed to hi* three children by his first wife. When the trust deed was executed it was understood be tween him and his intended bride that they were soon to become en gauged to be married. She knew that he was possessed of a large amount of property, but at tho time of her mar riage she was ignorant of the secret transfer that had been made. Soon af ter they were married the husband died, when the trust deed, whose ef fect if valid woukl have been to de prive the widow of her dower, was brought to light. In spite of the deed she claimed her share in the estate and sued the trustees. A Court of Com mon Picas has just decided in her favor and allows her the dower. It holds that the secret conveyance made by her suitor during their court ship and "on the eve ot his marriage with her was lraud in law upon her just expectations and the conjugal rights which were about to be acquir ed by her." And this, the Court re marks would be equally so under the circumstances of this case whether the fraud was intended or the property was conveyed in good faith. When to pell tho products of the farm is often a nice question for the farmer to determine. The hope of get ting a higher price by "holding on" frequently proves illusive. Nominally a higher price may be obtained, but the loss by shrinkage and depredating rodents, insects, &c., may, and often does, more than offset the apparont gain, to say nothing of the loss of in terest on the money. All these points should be carefullv considered oefore the fanner decides to hold for a rise in prices We do not say that it is never wise to wait; but the chances are, in nine cases out of ten, that the apparent jjain will prove a real loss.

The influence of the soil upon the health of those liying upon it, is brought out very plainly during the prevalence of epidemic diseases. That malarial disease (like intermitent fevers) originate from the soil, is al ready accepted; and recent investiga tions show pretty conclusively that the germs of Cholera, Abdomnial Ty phus, Yellow Fever, and the plague are in some way connected with the soil, which is daily corroborated by letters from all parts of the country, stating the marvelous effect Peruna has on those diseases, and in their confUlesceut state.
