Thi- lovely' nmid of the valley vn wooed by many a galiant yoiub, but, imfortuniitely, was won by a br.ive young warrior of the Choi tavv Xatioii, a on, pie (hat lime bit-ter eiicuiier of rtlc 'hcrohees. nio 1 iy eiigaenl in fierce warfare with them. One dark night Niaoochcc (lisappcai-cl from her viuii-clad wigwam: sin: bail eloped vvil'i sou of a Choctaw The I'lther of summoned one hundred stout warriors to go iu pur-nit of hiss erring daughter.

The valley r. and mountains echoed the terrific wnr-whoop us they rc nrcliing every hill and dale. Day and nights asseil, hut Sautiv ami the iiriglil-eyed Indian girl could nowhere be found. Tlic enraged refused to cat or rli-ep. He Lelievcl that the lovers had sought refuge under the (Iroai Heir (Yonah) of the 1'cnewed am! imne diligent search was made.

Sautce had icd a luidal chamber for his young princess (which amply supplied with veniiou and wild turkey amid the of Mount Yonah. He regarded rugged cliffs, arsing in their native grandeur nroiii.d him, an secure from the intrusion 1" fiieml or foe. Xucoo-clnf's new home must have a second Kden. Ite-fore her stood out a world of mountains, ri-ing one above another, until their lofty peaks, were lost In tho blue sky, while at their fn-t nestled the lovely valleys of Xaeoochoc and Sautiv, covered with f'ragiant forest, HovviTing trees, and brilliant rhododendrons and a.alcas. From the crevices of her granite palace gushed forth pure perennial streams, which arc joined by a thousand mountain springs that constitute tho head waters of the pictini'sque Chattahoochee river, and which, like the rivers that run out of the garden of Eden, abound with gold.

The cries of the wolf and the night-hawk disturbed not thu slumbers of tho youthful lovers. But Naoooeheo and Satiteo could no more successfully conceal themselves from the re-vengciui warriors than could and hido from the presence of their Creator after having listened to the beguiling serpent and eaten of the forbidden fruit. A savage shout of victory announced thu capture of the foe who had dared to rob the old chief of his daughter. Hasty judgment was pronounced. Sautcc was to be thrown, in the presence of Nncoo-ehee, from the highest precipice of Yonfth.

Before tbe sentence was executed the warriors engaged in a death song and dance around the strongly-guarded prisoner. This was kept up until the setting sun had dropped belijnd the Western mountains, and tho evening star was looking down upon tho tragic scene. At a signal from the old chief, four strong warrior seized Sautee, aud with one teiriliu yell hurled hint headlong into the chasm beneath. Quick as thought, Xaeooehee sprang from the strong embrace of her father, and shouting "Sautee! Sautee!" threw herself from the overhanging precipice. Their mangled remains wero found side-by-side in the valley.

Tho terrific shock wclhiigh broke the heart of the aged father. He directed that Naeoochee and Sautee should bo buried on the banks of the Chnttahoochcc, in ono grave, and a mound raised over them to mark tho spot and so the cypress, ivy, and rhododendron cover the resting-phlee of the faithful lovers. A Kansas Anti-Prohibitionist. William Eickholz, of Abilene, was in St. Louis some few days ago, the guest of OHiecr McAfee, of the Third Police District.

Mr. Eickholz makes it his boast that he was the first man to sell goods in Abilene, and he is now engaged in the furniture and undertaking business. He xvas ten vears a member of the City Council, and is now Chief of the Fire Department, composed of eighty-five men, divided into a hook and ladder and two hose companies. Mr. Eickholz is a pronounced anti-prohibitionist, and almost the first remark he made to a reporter was It just makes a man from Kansas happy to get into a place where beer is bought and sold opeulv." According to his statement, prohibition does not prohibit to any amazing extent in the town of Abilene.

"Iu fact," said he, "there are only five fauatk-s in all Abilene who dou't want to have boer. I have seen one hundred and seventy-two package of beer and whisky come in on a singlo express, and I toll you there is more drinking than ever before. The Mayor, the City Couucil, myself, and the. whole town haro formed ourselves into a Workingman's union, and buy our beer iu a joint-stock company. You or any other stranger couldn't get a drink for any amount unless you had stx-k in the company.

The fanatic went to the County Attorney and asked bim to let up on the Solomon just wist of us, and go for us, as they thought they could make a bigger thing ou us. They were going to run the whole crowd iu today I believe over fifty of them." A bystander broke in: "They'll run you fork back to Germany." Mr. Eickholz replied: I know what I'il do; I'll go back to New Germany, old Pennsylvania, whero a man can eat aud drimk what he please, without being hauled up by fool who can't act with moderation."

Score1 1 leddes. Nowhere Is (election more important than among the lie etoek. Thi is fpecially true in regard to cows, if one wants to build up a good dairy herd. We are told there wie a time when CRttle were all of like value, and cow passed as currency in Germany and Home. That must have been long go, for now we have one cow that dries in three months, and another Unit give more than her own weight in milk every month in the year one which yields H00 lbs.

of butter in twelve months, and another whose milk may be "set "or rimmed for days, in vain. It ir bard to understand why many otherwise good farmers breed and feed fully inferior rows. One-third of all the milch cows in the country aw probably kept at an actual lots. A iw wbJcb fails to gvc .100 gallons of miik per ou e.u sve.ng, for four ears alter first cahing, dm tat pay bv way; llOO gallons a year may fairly ls Uk -n aj the Ua't yield that an L'ive profit, unless the milk -cry ricli. The old lesson cannot be too ofUu rs jKaU-d, For e.

profitable dairy do not buy cow but nii-e theiii. Keepaeare-ful record of every milking.

Wliwevcr tin grain is thrashed directly from tlie field i through a sweating jirocs, which, if gentrrted, may injure it, unhs the bin i Jr''J rly 'enlilated. To turn the grain by hand, hri ai is hard work and, to obviate this veutilnliaS 'rrwigement should be made for the thorough cin ulntio't of air. These ventilators may be constructed of rttips of half inch boards of convenient width, four inches being usual.

These are naileJ so a to form a triangular trough. The eidet '4 th ventilator are bored small holes, and th ondr ooming through the sides of the bin are covered vriih Djm! ganr.e. These ventilate rs aro filled uito bir --'inning from the front to th; tb op- xd.

Upon the ubject of in Kansas, tho Fish Conunissioner of the State -vitb regard to carp The introduction of Otnr into our State has given fish culture a ierj in V-sst.

vi it. is a fish for thi farmer yes, it ie tlUor tvjryl'ody, but more particularly a farmer'? fish, hjx it cap 1 raised with as much ease as pigs and ting ihe same food. No fish requiring live food c- ment like tho trout family, can be profitably ruiwd vi an orticl for food but the Gcrmau carp, on nctamut of it hardiness, rapid growth, prolific iucrso in numbers, it ability to feed itself on insects water plant. mos, grass, etc. its excellent table qualities giv it, in our judgment, tho first place ou the lit of food fiihe a a fish for culture.

The fish is better adapted to ponds than to streams, as it prefers still water, requiring no extra exertion to stem the current in search of food. They do better in ponds here they are not aimoyod by other fish. Experience has demonstrated that the waters of Kansas arc pecu liarly adapted to carp culture, a they grow much faster here than in Germany. To thos who can construct carp ponds on their farms, there i nothing that will give more pleasure and profi. for tho time and expense of making such pond than raising carp.

A carp pond near the farm bouse, or iu the pasture surrounded by shade tret a it should be, is a joy. There is good deal of uncertainty about tho best time for digging potatoes. Some aro in favor of digging a soon the tulers beeoruo ripe, to prevent them from rotting in th ground other hold that if the germ of th rot ar iu tltein they will rot anyway, and that thej prefer to let them rot in the ground than iu th cellar. Both way have been tried, and with varying result. To raise good keeping potatoes they should not be planted early as to mature during but as to bring their ripening after the greatest heat past; and the tubers, when dry, maybe brought directly into a cool, dry cellar.

L. C. some smart fellow in tho tilo business no doubt, suggests the following method ot drying wheat: Place tiling ordinary drain tiling in rows on the barn floor, so that a current of air is produced which dric it out well. If the pile of wheat be very deep, place a layer of boards above the first tile, and then place another row of tile on these putting wheat on this. It has been tried, and baa proved very-satisfactory and our farmer say that to'stir the wheat, in drying the ordinary way, musses it up so, and leaves it rather unmerchantable.

Prof. Blount, of the Colorado State Collegei, make thi report to the president ou the black-bearded centennial wheat I would also call your attention to the black-bearded centennial, a winter wheat of extraordinary weight 74 pound per struck bushel, and whose grain surpasao anything all visitors have ever seen and the straw ia remarkable for its stiffness and its habits better than any I have heretofore raised."

A Female Lobbyist. A lively scene occurred recently, in front of the Treasury Department, at Washington, D. in which Hon. Kenneth Kaynor, solicitor of the department, and a female lobbyist named Mosclcy, were the principals. The woman called at the department in a coupe anfl sent her card up to the solicitor, with a request for an audience.

In a few minutes Mr. Rayuor appeared on the sidewalk, minus coat and hat, and with a pen in his hand. He accepted a proffered scat in the vehicle, and for a short time conversed in a low toue with his visitor. Suddenly he was observed to spring from the coupe, while the woman, in a loud tone of voice, threatened to denounce him in the newspapers. This riled the solicitor, and he answered in a defiant manner "How dare you come here aud attempt to blackmail me, you shameless creature.

I have a strong notion to cidl an officer and have you sent to the lock-up." This threat frightened the lobbyist, and she hastily ordered the driver of the coupe to take her away, which was done, greatly to the disgust of the large crowd that had been attracted by the affair. Mr. Kaynor returned to his office in a very excitable frame of mind, and was subsequently interviewed. He stated that the woman had asked bim to reverse a decision regarding a quantity of tobacco which had been smuggled into Detroit, and offered to compromise the case for SI ,000. He spumed her offer, whereupon she threatened to denounce him in the papers, hoping thereby to force a compliance with her wishes, lie could not retain his composure under such cii cumsUuc), and had unintentionally caused a scene on the street.

The case, which she wanted compromised bad alrvadv been settled, but she wanted it rooiMiod. The woman bad followed biin persistoutly for several win ks past, and bad even taken rooms at the hotel where be in stopping, and endeavored to frvm an acqunintfinoe with his wife at the dinner, table, lie had aoid-d hi in every maninT possible, eNinliv when he le-tmed she had on one occasion atfciupU to blackmail Senator Jones of Nevada..
