The V'te . Commission.
Los Pisos Agsnxy, Nov. 14. Ouray car
ried his point at the Indian council on
the night of the 12th inst., and the prin
cipal chiefs of the White River Utes, ex
cept Jack, were present at the agency
yesterday, ready to eive testimony wnen
called upon, ihe Indiana wno testiuea
before the commission are sworn in by
Chief Ouray according to the custom of
the Ute nation. .Douglas was the nrsl
witness called. At the order of Ouray he
arose from his seat, and standing erect
with arm raised, administered the oath to
himself as follows: "By the Heaven
above, by the earth that will receive me,
by the tireat spirit that looxs down upon
me, 1 dare not speak: anytning out tue
truth." This was said with much force
and with an appropriate gesture. The oath
like all the Indiau testimony, was trans
lated into Spanish by Ouray and then in
to English by tbe interpreter, Townsend.
At first he was nervous and very pale,
but towards the close of his testimony
had rezained his wonted composure, lie
saw nothing, heard nothing, and took no
part in tbe killing of Meeker and the em
ployes and the fight with Thorn burg. He
found also Mrs. Meeker running arounu
loose, and took her to his houte and took
care of her. His time was so much oc
cupied with the care of his wounded boy
that he did not know what was going on.
At the time tbe killing of employes com
menced he was in a warehouse, and does
not know who began tbe attack. He savs
that his feelings overcame him, and it
made him cry to think into what a con
dition his friends had fallen. Meeker
told him that in two days soldiers would
come. Douglas replied it would be better
to have officers come to the agency and
have a council, ana try to settle existing
difficulties, as the Indians were afraid of
the soldiers. Meeker promised to go with
Douglas in the morning and meet the offi
cers ; but while tbey were talking the
fight with Thoruburg was going on,
though neither Douglas nor Meeker knew
it at tbe time.
Ou.ay has made all necessary prepara
tions for the protection of the commis
sion, and If the White River Utes should
make any attempt toward an outbreak,
50 men, who are now encamped within
rine shot of tbe commission, would be on
hand instantly.
becretarv schurz and uencral bberman
are to be congratulated on their selection
of members of the commission. Three
more competent men could not be found
to perform the important duties assigned
them. .
Later Johnson has been on the stand
all the forenoon, but knows even less than
Douelas. lo the question. Do you
know whether there has been any fight
at White River?" he answered "No."
None of his relatives were in the fight, so
far as known, and he could not give the

Oak. land Harsh Lands.
The Central Pacific Railroad Company
to-dav commenced suit in the third dis
trict court against the city of Oakland to
quiet title to about 500 acres of land lying
along tne water iroin oi inui ciiv uu on
the south side of San Antonio creek.
This course has been made necessary by
the recent agitation of the water front
question in Oakland and a squatters' war
which had been in progress on tbe marsh
land. The land in question is worth about
half a million dollars.
Another Evasion

and severally liable to creditors and stock
holders for all moneys embezzled or mis
appropriated Dy tne otneers of such cor
poration or join', stock association during
the (term or otnee or such directors or
rnstees. To evade this provision an
agreement is being signed by the stock
holders of one or the largest banks in the
city waiving such liability on the part of
the directors, unless such embezzlement
or misappropriation shall be the result of
co-operation, collusion or negligence or
such director or directors as may be
sought to be made liable for such embez
zlement or misappropriation. Other banks
are about to pursue the same course, j

for defendant, moved that the indictment
be set aside on the following grounds :
Tbat certain grand jurors who were not
qualified to act tn the case, were present
when the DeYoung indictment was acted
upon ; that after the death of Mr. Cun
ningham there were only eighteen grand
jurors, and that number did not make a
grand jury ; tbat Mr. rsurton had no au
thority to act ns foreman of the grand
jury ; that Juror Eggers only heard part of
tbe evidence in ue Young a case, and that
really only twelve round the indictment
against DeYoung. The first ground was
disproved by the testimony of II. F. Wil
liams, ono or the grand jury. 1 he last
one, admitted by the district attorney
regarding Juror Lggers testimony, was
ruled out, and counsel proceeded to ar
gue the question of there being only
eighteen on the jury after the death of
Cunningham.

Seattle, Nov. 12. Mitchell Thiberf. of
this city, an old miner of many years ex

gaged in mining operations in Cassia r.
left here threo weeks ago for the newly
discovered c?kagit gold mines. Reing an
expert in this line his return has been
awaited with great interest by many in
terested parties here who are generally
disposed to accept his report on the mines
as conclusive. Mr. Hubert arrived here
this morning, and was interviewed by
your correspondent. He states that his
party were engaged six days in poling up
the Skagit river from Mount Vernon to
the head of canoe navigation ; from
thence two and a half day making the
trip overland to the diggings, packing
from 75 to 100 pounds to the man over a
very aimcult root trail, though not so bad
as had Deen represented. At tne time
left but little work was being done, claim
holders generally waiting for the water to
go down. On Butceer claim is being con
structed a wing dam for tbe purpose of.
draining tne creek bed. Xho Jboren
claim has been worked down to bedrock,
and found rich. Mr. Thibert prospected
eight pans on top gravel, from which he
obtained, thirty-three cents. This, be
states, is much richer than any top gravel
lound even m lAssair. tie also prospec
ted five pans on rim rock from which he
obtained ten cents. Other parties are
making $5 per day. panning top gravel.
Most of the claims will be very hard to
open, bedrock in many places being 12 to
zu leet below the surface. Claims are
being located very fast. On claims al
ready open, work will be continued till
the first of December or later. As a gen
eral thing however, operations will be
suspended all spring. On the night of

of three inches in the mines. Mr. Thi

auditor ; and those who have been hold
ing these offices will now be compelled to

collector's office, took the decision good
naturedly, saving, that there was nothing
to do but obey the order of the court.
Mr. l ord will not take any proceedings
under the salary pledge contest. He says
he will turn over the books and papers of
the tax collector's office to his successor
as soon as the order of the court is re

that the decision of the court also covers
the auditorship, and supervisorship of
the third ward. These offices are held
respectively by ColiuM. Boyd and Thos.

Gbnerocs Feeding Pats. Creamery
butter has gone to 30 cents per pound.
Cheese has jumped to 10 cents per j
pound. The reason undoubtedly is the j
continued draught, which, has kept
pastures as bare and sere almost as in
winter. Good dairymen commenced
feeding in season, and thus kept their
their stock up to a tolerable flow of milk,
what was lost in quantity being made up
quality. That is, the grain fed made the
milk rich in the constituents that go to
to make up butter and cheese. Those
who have neglected to feed will suffer,
for, once a eow shrinks in her milk from
lack of feed and water, it is impossible
thereafter : to bring - her back to a full
flow. Those who have suffered most are
those who do not believe there is any
good in agricultural papers, and those
who read them superficially. . The good
dairyman never allows his stock to suffer
even daring the summer for want of
food. The stock-breeder who keeps pace
with improved agriculture never allows
his stock to cease growing from the time
it is fit for market until ready for the
batcher. ; The progressive farmer r3ver
loses a crop for want of feeding to the
soil. How to do all these in the most
economical manner is the problem that
each mnst solve for himself according to
the special requirements in the case.
There is one point in dairy-farming not
generally considered, and tnat is that the
farm should be getting richer every year.
The products are hay, grass and corn,
fed on the farm, and the products sold
are simply the condensed product in the
shape of bntter and cheese, and the hogs
fed upon the buttermilk and whey
while the manure made may be applied
to the land to keep up its fertility. Thus
when necessity requires, maximum crops
of grain may be raised at a maximum
cost. Thus, although the dairyman may
think he ; is getting light profits (and
that they hVve been light for the last
last two years is acknowledged) every
thing now points to good prices the com
ing winter, it is true, only those will
reap the benefit of this who keep well
posted as to the ways and means.through
the reading of carefully edited agricul
tural papers, and their own correct
judgment founded thereon. It must, of
course, be satisfactory to those who have
not done this that have nobody to blame
but themselves.
Norman Horses fob Farm Work.-
would say in relation to the Normans, I
have kept them for the last fifteen years
with great success and find them to be
first-class work horses. As to their
standing hard work and hot weather I
can say that I never owned but one
horse his breeding unknown that I
thought was as good as the Norman. I
may differ with some in what a first-class
work or farm horse should be. I want
them to weigh at least fourteen hundred
to fifteen hundred pounds each on short
and well-shaped legs, to feed well and to
walk four miles per hour. Such teams
are found among the Normans more
easily than any of the breeds of horsfes
that I know. In Illinois , we have very
warm weather through corn tending and
harvesting. If a horse can stand up to
hard work and thrives, you can calculate
tbe hot weather does not hurt him.
have had a great many big days' work
done with my Norman teams. In the
year 1868 I farmed 720 acres and used all
Norman mares to do my work. I had
one team that planted twenty-five and
half acres of corn in one day, with two
men on the planter, and sold one of them
the same fall for 8600. She was jet black,
and the pair weighed about 3200 pounds,
The Normans are always ready for their
feed. Hard work don't take away their
oppetite, as it frequently does with many
horses if you give them a hard day's
work. As a rule the Normans are kind
and gentle. Horsemen well know that a
nervous and high strung horse is not as
likely to stand hard work as those which
are mild in temper. The Normans are
essentially mild tempered, and it is a rare
thing to find one with a spavin or ring
bone. They are very close jointed and
compactly built, making them less likely
to get blemished than if loosely built.
As to their traveling I think they can go
otr ten or fifteen miles and back as quick
as our common larm teams; but if l
wanted a teani especially for the road I
should not take them or any other large
breed of horses, although I have driven
a Norman further in two hours than I
ever did any other horse. f Prairie

; i The Rains of th Tuilerles.
It Seems impossible to dispel the idea
that the stability of French forms of Gov
ernment may be promoted by recb. listen
ing streets or buildings, opening or clos
ing thoroughfares through palace gar
dens and razing or preserving royal resi
dences. , The Paris municpality is now
busy in abolishing all names calling up
monarehial reminiscences. A public
road made two years ago alongside the
Tnileries was exulted over as an ad
ditional impediment to the revival of
royalty, and the razing of the Tnileries
was discussed by the Chamber as though
the permanency or instability of the Re
public were at stake. Some of tb.6
speakers, indeed, adduced aesthetic or
financial arguments, but it was easy to
see that political considerations were up
permost m their minds, for in no other
way can the fact be accounted for that
the Conservatives were ranged on one
side and the Republicans on the other.
A foreigner might have supposed that
the restoration or the destruction of the
Tnileries was as grave a matter as that of
the rebuilding of Jerusalem after the
captivity, symbolizing, if not a religion
or State, at least a form of government.
The Sanballats of the day were MM.
Proust and Clemenceau. The former

it was time to remove the ruins, tbat any

should be extended; and that the Tnil

Louvre without being rebuilt in a dif
ferent style. M. Clement ceau de

the Luxembourg gardens was this time
champion of conservation. He regretted
the eight years' inaction, but, while dis
claiming any desire for a restoration fit
ting the palace for a royal residence, he
urged the rebuilding of the central por
tion, the galleries of Philibert Delorme,
and the two Medici pavilions as a
museum. This, he said, would not ac
commodate a Sovereign or even a Presi
dent of a Republic, but it would termi
nate the vista from the Arc de Triomphe,
concealing the irregularity of the line be
tween the Arc and Louvre. The Flore
and Marsan pavilions, on each side, im
plied, moreover, an intermediate build
ing, or they would appear like two long
arms an ungraceful spectacle, which
would not be permanently tolerated. The
garden and casts of intereresting frag
ments would cost, moreover, 2,ooo,ooo,
and he deprecated a hasty decision. M.
Rene mce likewise warned the Cham ber
against taking, at four days' notice, an
irrevocable step; but a verdict of "Raze
it; raze it even to the ground," was pro
nounced by 246 to 166. It is to be pre
sumed that the Senate will not decide in
such, a hurry, and that the Government,

A Bemtnisckncb of Webster's Reply
to Hatnk. James Watson Webb writes
as follows to the New York Timet: I
have just read with pleasure yonr notice
of the late John Gales, so long the vet
eran of the press, and of his accomp
lished and estimable widow, recently de
ceased. You mention the fact tbat Mr.
Gales reported Mr. Webster's great
speech in reply to Hayne, in relation to
which the following incident, stated to
me by Mr. Webster and confirmed by
Mr. Gales, may be of interest: "I had
no idea," said Mr. Webster, "of the great
importance which would be attached by
t'ae public to my reply to Mr. Hayne,
and I was not in the habit, up to that
period, of making full notes, as at pres
ent. Consequently, when my friends,
with great unanimity, demanded the
publication of the speech, I was quite
unable to gratify them. I had observed,
however, that during the delivery of the
speech my friend Gales had taken notes
of it, and I applied to him to know if he
could aid me. He expressed his regrets
that I had not made the application
sooner, and added that he did take full
notes of the speech, but it was in short
hand, and unfortunately he could not
decipher his own short-hand after an in
tarval of a few days. Of course I was
annoyed and felt "that the speech was
lost, just when the public, by their ap
preciation of it, had made me appreciate
it Mr. Gales perceived my annoyance,
and said, 'It has frequently occurred
that, when I could not decipher my
short-hand notes, ' Mrs. Gales could.
Give me your brief notes and I'll place
them with my full short-hand notes in
the hands of Mrs. Gales and Bee what she
can do for us. The result is my pub
lished speech in reply to Mr. Hayne,
which I had hot estimated very highly,
but which I now consider one of my best
efforts. Its preservation is due solely to
Mrs. Gales."

The Aspabagts Bed. It is a good
time now to prepare the ground for set
ting out a bed of asparagus in the spring.
We have been just enlarging one made
two years ago, and have proceeded m
the following manner: First, a trench
was dug two feet deep. This was filled
nau-iuu or rotted manure. Another
trench was dug by the side of it, and the
top dirt thrown in to nil up tbe first hole,
The bottom of the second trench, being
clay, was carried away and manure filled
in, in its place. ; Thus the whole bed was
gone over, and although it involved a
good deal of hard work, yet we are sure
it will pay. In digging the last trench,
next to the plants set a year ago last
spring, we were surprised to find the
roots down in the ground to a depth of
nearly two feet, ana thoroughly perme
ating the manure which was trenched in
there berore the asparagns was set.;: too
it pays to take extra care at the start. A
well prepared asparagus bed will lust a
family a lifetime, furnishing each spring,
before any other vegetable arrives, one
of the most delicious dishes from the
garden- It is classed everywhere as a
luxury, yet is so easily attained that any
one if he choose may have it, providing
he is the owner of a spot of ground.

theft. Our native agents who have
lived in Cabul, representing the Govern
ment of India in a fitful fashion, haTe
hinted at crimes being frequently com
mitted in the bazars; aud as the Cabul
woman are celebrated in eastern song
for her eyes, her height, her olive kin,
her long black hair, and her gallantry,
though never for love for washing, it ia
easy to Bee how such a hot-bed of un
thinking passion as Cabul is, might be
come a hot-bed also for assassination and
oounter assassin. The Cabuls have do
known police, and it is believed that tbe
inhabitants would object to the introduc
tion of conscientious individuals of that
class, because they would interfere with
ancient prerogatives. Troaps are em
ployed as revenue collectors at different
times of the" year, and as they collect
revenues for themselves as well as for
the State, the Cabuli cherishes a hatred '
toward all revenue collector unless he'
happens to be one himself.
Liko other Oriental towns, Cabul is
filthy. Sanitation is not even a dream
with the inhabitants. There are four "
principal roads, which are from thirty to
forty feet broad, and these are considered
the handsomest streets. One is the
Great Bazaar, or Charcutta, composed of
one-story mud houses, which have
verandas, slightly elevated above open
gutters opening full upon the streets.
These verandas become shops in day
time, and are stored with specimens of
all the furs, silks and wood and hair
cloths that Central Asia produces. In
the evening, three or four cronies ait on
a mat in almost every shop, set a Limp in
their midst, fold their feet, put on their
skull-caps, and smoke and tell stories till
midnight. Another great bazaar, lead
ing from the western gate to the Bala
Hissar, is monopolized by cooks and ' '
butchers. Heads and carcasses are bus- .
pended there in plenty, but no trace of
the unclean animal, the pig, is dis
cernible. It is in this bazaar by oil-light,
that some of the most picturesque look
ing ruffians in the world may be seen.
Observe this one: A man' over six feet
high; his head conical-shaped, the jet- -black
hair closed cut, almost to the bone;
his face long, sallow, and fringed with
grizzly black whiskers, which meet be
neath in one long, matted beard; the
eyes small and keen ; the nose arched and
thin; the mouth cruel and compressed,
the chest and arms to the elbows bare;
the body enveloped in a tattered blue -shirt
reaching beneath the knees, bare,
scarred legs, the feet treading on grass
sandals, which are held by the toes.
That is a Cabuli beggar, and a most
arrant villain is he, for, maugre his
rags, he conceals a knife, like the test of . .
his amiable countrymen, and will sse it
with the rage ot a wolf is he is tempted.
The cooks are glad enough to toss a
kabobor two to gentlemen of his class.
The other two roads have no raatteuv "
lar characteristics, expecting that they
are a great deal broader thanby far the
larger portion of Cabal. Off these four
principal roads numerous dark and filthy
lanes, twisting for a quarter of a mile at
time, and not more than three feet
broad, shoot at frequent intervals. The
fiat-roofed bouses in them are made of -mud,
thickly mixed with straw, and the
apartments are dark square holes, much
worse than the much-decried shanties of
Galway peasants. Men, women and
children sleep together, and never
change their garments fill these drop off.
frequently cattle and fowls are to be
found crowded in these apartments, to- .
gether with the human inmates. Such
places are dangerous to all strangers.
Not even an unusual parish dog could
stray into them, for he wonld be worried
by a hundred jealous, big-boned, hungry
curs, in tbe last iiriosn attack on cabul,
Afghans who preferred "dying like
poisoned rats in a Hole,' retreated to
their tortuous streets, and many a good
life was lost in hunting them out. Lon

Tragic Love Stories. What a place
Borne is for sad love stories. Here is the
last. A young workman on a railway
was about to get married. The very day
before that set apart for the wedding he
was run over by an engine and killed.
No sooner did the girl hear this than she
laid herself down across the tracks wiui
the hope of being killed in her tnrn. Bnt
she had only an arm crushed. The arm
had to be amputated, and she bore the
operation like a soldier. She toid the
surgeons all the wnne mat it was no use,
that she could not live now that her lov; r
was dead. They gave no hoed to su.-U
ravings. When nobody was looking; a
