The, Chiefs Again In Council.
IaisPinos, Oct, 17, via Dm, Noktk, Col.,
A runner has just arrived from the
southern Uto agency with a letter from
Page to Stanley dated tho 14iust., with
information that another all-day council
was held by tho chiefs of the southern
Utes all uniting and desirous of peace,
jmd requesting that a runner be cent re
newing assurances already given. Twenty
four chiefs and head-men wero present.
The Indians of this agency aro all en
camped around Ouary's house. Not one
report in (hty has a particle of truth and
the circumstances aro exaggerated beyond
reason. The women and children are

from Washington being to suspend oper
ations against the I'tes and await orders
either at White or Beaver river, us nego
tiations for peace are in progress, it being
understood that the hostiles have agreed
to surrender the warriors engaged in Into
depredations. It is probably that the
combined commands of Merritt and Gil
bert will remain for the present at this
point, although nothing detlnitc is kno'vn
as to future movements. In the event of
peace being established, it is altogether
probable that a permanent military post
will be constructed either at Bear river
or the agency.

Suicide of a New York Merchant at the
Palace Hotel.
San Francisco, Oct. 22. M. E. Norton,
a resident of New York, who arrived in
this city last Thursday, committed suicide
by shooting hiimelf in tho head at the
Palace Hotel this morning. The suicide
was discovered at 0 o'clock, when the bell
boy entered Mr. Norton's room and found
him lying dead on the bed. By his right
side was found a self-cocking revolver of
which one chamber was discharged, and
in his right temple was a hole made by ti
bullet which had pierced his brain. From
the appearance of the body it is supposed
that the shot was fired about two hours
before the bell boy entered the room.
The deceased, as far as is known, had
given no intimation of his purpose to end
his life and no note was found to explain
the motives that led to the act. It is un
derstood, however, that lie had lost a large
sum of money recently in stocks. Mr.
Norton was in San Francisco some months
ago, and on his departure for tho east, left
a largo amount of money in stocks. He
returned to this city as agent for a New
York firm lust week and found that he
had lost as much as $00,000, it is said, by
depreciation in values during his ab
sence, rortwo or three nights oeiore
the suicide he had been unable to rest
and it is thought that the-loss of sleep,
coupled with financial disaster, had un
settled his mind. The deceased was
about 40 years old. In his pockets were
found notes and checks to the value ot
several thousand dollars.

His grave is on an eminence near the
foregrounds of the cemetery. His mon
ument, which is of marble, is surmount
od by a beautiful cross, entwined with a
carved vine In imitation of ivy. Prince
Jolin, as he was generally called, it is
well-known, niade a tour of Europe iii
18J6. and died whilo on his vovago home
ward. At the time of his decease he was
in tho fifty-sixth year of his age. As a
political sneaker lie hud no superior per
haps in this country, as niuuy yet living
can testify who board his eloquent au
dresses in the Presidential campaign of
ISiS. His talents, it is well known, wero
of the very highest order. As an advo
cate he hud few equals in tho State. The
versatility of his powers, his keen irony,
his brilliunt, ready and often canstic wit,
his unfailing good humor, Iris perfect
self-possession, his remarkable quickness
of perception, and his .extensive and in
timate acquaintance with established
legal principles, rendered him a formid
able advocate at the cirouit.
As luight bo expected he was a skillful
cross-examiner of witnossos, and a cor
rupt or unwilling witness had much to
fear when subjected to the ordeal of a
cross-examination by Mr. Van Dnren. A
cause of much importance was pending
in one of the Circuit Courts of this State
about a quarter of a century ago, at the
trial of which I was present. On that
occasion Mr. Van Buren exhibited much
skill in his cross examination of tho wit
nesses, and in his treatment of their tes
timony before the jury. The leading
counsel opposed was that giant of tho
bur, Joshua A. Spencer, who was then
in the zenith of his fame; a man of a
very dignified presence ond the most
courteous manners, and an advocate of
the most commanding and persuasive
eloquence. The plaintiff had instituted
legal proceeding to be placed in the
possession of certain lands, claiming title
under a deed which the defendant al
leged was fraudulently obtained from
the grantor named in tho conveyance.
Mr. Van Buren wa3 counsel for the de
fendant. A witness by the name of
Machin, called by Mr. Spencer, the
plaintiffs counsel, m de certain stutc-
. .-1 11! 1 1 il ?
ments wnicn, ii oeneveu uy me jury,
would be fatal to the defense. The
jury, iiowever, uisagreeu. ai me suu
sea uen t trial. Machin, who had been
cross-examined with great rigor by Mr.
Van Buren on tho hrst trial of the cause,
did not make his appearance; bat a man
by the name of Simpser was called to
supply his place. The new wituess was
severely handled by Mr. Vim Buren,
and during his cros.i-cxnniinution, which
was extended to u very great length,
he drank water both frequently and
copiously. Prince John disposed of the
new witness in this brief and adriot way
in his address to the jury: "You have
all, gentlemen, doubtless heard the for
mer trial of this cause ; and nil whom
have heard of that trial have heard of
Machin ; and all whom have heard of
Machin have heard of his sufferings,
death and burial on that occasion ; and
now from the grave of Machin has sud
denly sprung the witness Simpser, and
heaven knows thero never was a plant
that needed so much truininy and
watering"
The effect of these words was wonder
ful. No words certainly could have been
more adrioitly spoken, or could have
been more effoctual in awakening suspi
cion, in the minds of the jurors, of the
integrity both of plaintifT and witness.
I here give no opinion as to the merits of
the cause or tho integrity of the witness;
and have merely stated facts as they
occurred.
It was my purpose mainly in this arti
cle to furnish some reminiscences of the
three distinguished lawyers whoso graves
in tho Rural Cemetery I hod recently
visited ; and having done this I must
bring it to a close. It is possible that in
what I have written I have fallen into
some anachronisms and errors of opinion ;
but I have aimed to bo correct in my
statements and faithful in the character
ization of men whose commanding talents
excited my admiration ; and to whose
memories, now that they are no more, I
would pay that tribute of respect ever
duo to thoso who leave behind them an
honorable record, and achieve for them
selves an enviable fame.
But, after all, how little is known by
mankind generally of tho able juriscon
sult, now no more, who even less than
half a century ago swayed the minds of
learned judges on the bench by the force
of his reasonings and tho vastness of his
legal erudition ! Tho scanty memorials
of his genius and learning are now only
to be found in tho volumes of reported
cases to which few but tho members of
the legal profession have access ; and
how little also, after the lapse of the
same number of years, is remembered of
tho great advocate who had entertained
admiring nudienees assembled in our
temples of justice, with the sallies of his
wit and the flushes of his genius, and had
held jurors spell-bound by tho magic of
his eloquence ! It is a sad reflection that,
after the night dew s of even only a quar
ter of a century sholl have rested upon
his head, "his sayings ond doings," with
perhaps a few distinguished exceptions,
will linger chiefly in the minds of men
as "traditions of a past generation."
But how fleeting and insubstantial is all
earthly fame !

Mock Oysters. Take one-half dozen
of good -sized ears of corn; put them in
cold water, and when it begins to boil sot
it on tho back of the range, and let it
simmer for one-half hour; then put the
corn in cool water, .wipe the ears with a
dry towel and grate them ; then put them
through a hair sieve to rid them of the
shells of the corn; have two eggs well
beutcn, two tablespoonfuls of cream, two
of grated crackers, one tablespoonful of
salt, one-fourth teaspoonfnl of peppers
beat this all well together; have a lump
of good butter about the size of half an
egg; put in a frying pan: when hot put
the corn mixture in," in tablespoonfuls,
allowing space tthat they do not run to
gether; when they aro a nice brown turn
them over and fry the other side; it re
quires about hve minutes to cook them;
this will make about two dozen oysters;
serve them hot.
Raisino Rye With Corn. Although
the practice of sowing rye among corn
for the purpose of affording winter pas
turage has increased during the last few
years, it is by no means as general as it
should Do. uuo half busliol of rye
sowed at this season of tho year to an
acre of land on which a crop of corn is
growing, will produce a very largo
amount of foed of tho most excellent
quality. It may be covered with a har
row or cultivator will destroy many weeds
that would otherwiso mature to seed. If
stock have the run of the field for the
purpose of eating up tho corn stalks,
they will find a very desirable change of
food in the green rye. If the season is
favorable for its growth, the rye will be
of great value to turn under in the spring
for manure. Being of decent growth, it
will decay almost as quickly as stable
manure after it is turned under by the
plow.

Good cider can only be made bv tV
use of clean and sound fruit, such m
would be taken to market, though it
not be quite as largo, fruit when gX
ered from the tree is dusty, and if ft hi,''
been lying in piles on tho ground or i
boxes, it is apt not only to be dusty Z
also sticky from the few which haveta
cayed. We have seen apples which ere
too much soiled and bruised to be taken
comfortably into the hands, and yet were
ground up into cider. In one memorable
case we know of, a drove of hogs had
for several weeks, been in the orchard'
rooting over and trampling the piles of
small apples, when it was concluded to
make a few barrels of cider, nml tu
apples wero used for that purpose, with
out being wiped or washed, somo went in
tho press being partly decayed. The
first rulo for the manufacture of good
cider must therefore be to thoroughly as
sort and cleanse the applos. Let a boj
wipe the apples with a dry cloth before
they are ground np.
Tho old method of using straw in pack
ing the cider-press, is giving place to the
use of hair-cloth or gunny. A sieve of
hair-cloth (not wire) , should be placed
over a bucket set beneath tho edgs of the
press, so that tho small bits of apple will
not bo left bohind. Let tho new cider
stand a day in an open vessel and the
pomace will rise to the top, when the
cider must be drawn off thronsh a snull
spigot placed a couple of inches from thi
bottom, and put into clean sweet barrels.
As soou ns white bubbles rise to the top,
rack it off again, and this process should
be repeated three or four times. Then
till tho barrel up with cider of the same
character, add a tumblerful of warm
sweet oil and bung it up tight. Half a
pound of glucose, or somewhat less of
white sugar, may be addod at this stage
of the progress.
The usual way of preparing clean bar
rels for the reception of cider has been to
burn rags dipped in sulphur inside of
the barrel, covering the bungholo sou
to retain tho vapors, and then putting
half a pound of mustard seed tied in
muslin, together with a quarter ofs
pound of dissolved isinglass, into the
barrel before it is filled up with cider.
This has been found to keep cider in good
condition for a long time.
Professional cider-makers in
the Eastern States now nse calcium sul
phite (sulphite of lime) instead of mus
tard, and tho sulphur vapor. They add
from one-eighth to one-fourth of an ounce
of tho sulphite to each gallon of cider,
and this preserves its sweetness perfectly,
but the proportions mentioned must not
be exceeded. After the enter has stoou
sevorul days it may be drawn off and
bottled. Sulphite of lime costs about
fifty cents per pound. It is a different
article from sulphato of lime, and the
two must not be confused. When sweet
ci ler is bottled a little cinnamon or
sassafras bark and a drachm of bicarbon
ate of soda may be added. This makes
cider effervesce, but care mnst bo taken
not to use too much of the bicarbonate of
soda.
