Gen. Grant continues to improve ; but 
the cancerous swelling at the base of the 
tongue still continues to give a good deal of 
trouble—if not to the patient at least to his 
doctors, who see no reason for supposing they 
were mistaken iu their diagnosis. The Gen¬ 
eral has nearly finished his “Memoirs” for 
which over 100.000 orders for “full sets” have 
been already received. News from the 
Northwest Territory in Canada is meager and 
unsatisfactory. Gen, Middleton i9 at a stand¬ 
still awaiting supplies. For a week or so he 
has been about to attack the “rebs” next day; 
but something has always prevented the at¬ 
tack. Col. Otter, having marched 35 miles 
from Battleford with 300 men and some light 
cannon and Gatling guus.attacked the Indian 
chief Poundmaker on his reservation, contain¬ 
ing au area of 30 square miles. His forces 
were about 600, and he is reported to have lost 
from 50 to 125 men, while the loss of his oppo¬ 
nent was only a half a dozen killed and twice 
that number wounded. Otter retreated, how¬ 
ever, reaching Battleford 36 hours after he had 
left it, having marched 70 miles and fought 
seven hours. The Indians regard the fight as 
a victory. Otter is about to attack Pound- 
maker again in a few days. A general Indian 
war is expected, and as there are 35,000 In¬ 
dians in the Territory,'about 7,000 of whom 
are over 20, the contest is likely to be long and 
bloody, Meanwhile many white settlers have 
been butchered by the Indians and half-breeds, 
and most of the others have been forced to 
seek refuge in the towns or fortified posts, 
leaving their property to be plundered and 
burned by the enemy. Cattle and horses are 
the chief prey sought by the Indians. 
....The extent to which fraudulent pensions 
have grown may be imagined, when it is noted 
that the pension agent in Philadelphia has 
been notified to drop 102 names which have 
been drawing pensions, the parties being dead;

Health by Compound Oxygen. 
Tbe following, written for publication by 
W. G. P Brinekioe, of Hulmevillc. Pa., editor 
and publisher of the Odd Fellows' Journal, 
gives that gentleman’s happy experience with 
Compound Oxygen. 
“in tbe Spring of 1881 my health began to 
fail, so that J became a fl treat, sufferer from de¬ 
bility, ner vousness and lass of sleep and appe¬ 
tite. After trying several remedies and con¬ 
tinuing to grow weaker, I almost in despair 
gave up the hope of liviDg. To add to my suf¬ 
ferings, in October of the same year I was af¬ 
flicted with a severe cold, which seemed to in¬ 
duce congestion of tbe liver and kidneys, 
threatened paralysis of the right side. The 
prescribed remedies aggravated, rather than 
allaved, the suffering. 
“About the first of November I heard of 
Compound Oxygen and was induced to try it. 
At this time 1 was losing about half a. gill of 
blood a day. 1 could not sleep soundly, very 
little appetite, and a very flighty memory. 
“In less than two weeks ' taking Jhe 
Compound. Oxygen I was like a new person. 
The bleeding had stopped entirely, my appe¬ 
tite became healthy, my sleep improved, and 
my memory became good and steady. I have 
continued its use until the present time. Sep¬

AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
Saturdav, May 9. 
Commissioner Colman, we learn, proposes 
to hold a convention of “agricultural edu¬ 
cators” at Washington on June 20th next, 
and invitations to attend are to be sent 
to the “heads of all agricultural colleges and 
allied State institutions.” There are, no 
doubt, many ways, as the Commissioner de¬ 
clares, in which the Department and indus¬ 
trial colleges can cooperate to their mutual 
benefit. The familiarizing of the people with 
some of the fundamental truths of agricul¬ 
ture by teaching them in the public schools, 
has long been advocated in tbe Rural. The 
other proposed heads of discussion have also 
been frequently bandied in these columns, 
such as tbe question of agricultural experi¬ 
ment stations and the relation they should 
bear to the Department; the best means of 
bringing about Congressional action, and of 
harmonizing the interests of the different 
State institutions and the National Depart¬ 
ment, and many cognate matters. A some 
what similar convention was held by Com¬ 
missioner Loring early in bis administration; 
but beyond a good deal of printed matter, we 
have hitherto failed to see any good results 
from it. There is ample room for improvement 
in agricultural education, however,and the oft¬ 
en er and more freely the subject is discussed, 
the greater the chances of speedy betterment. 
With regard to the manner in which cattle 
have wintered, what has been learnt from 
various sources may be thus briefly condensed: 
The conditiou of cattle is reported as excep¬ 
tionally good in New England, and fully up to 
the average iu the Middle States. Farther south 
there is complaint of the effects of the severe 
Winter, scant food, and the droughbof last FalL 
In some portions of Texas, the condition of cat¬ 
tle dependent on pasturage is reported extreme¬ 
ly low. In Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, and 
West Virginia, the prevailing tone of the re¬ 
ports is unfavorable, insufficient food and the 
severity of the Winter being the causes as¬ 
signed here, as well as in the States above 
mentioned. Taking the South as a whole, the 
conditiou as regards flesh is in the main low. 
In Ohio, Indiana, and the States farther 
north and west, the condition is i n the main 
satisfactory, except where cattle have been 
left without proper shelter. There is more or 
less complaint on the score of scarcity of corn 
and forage iu Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and 
other States. The conditiou in Missouri and 
Kansas appears to be below the average. The 
reports from Nebraska are rnaiuly favorable, 
though many unfavorable reports are made, 
and the same is true in perhaps a greater degree 
as to the States of the Pacific Coast. The 
enormous losses of cattle from exposure on the 
Plains during the past Winter have resulted 
in the determination to have a change in the 
method of herding cattle. Shelter, water, 
hay and permanent winter-quarters are to be 
provided by some of the more prudent stock- 
men, and next Winter will see a system of 
feDcing-iu reserved pastures, and the 
abandonment of nomadic pasture... 
... .The Texas Live Stock Journ al states that 
an organized movement of muttons is likely 
to take place this season towards the Kansas 
line. 8heep can be driven cheaper than 
ranged and can be improved by judicious hand¬ 
ling on the trail .Ohio tile-makers stated 
at their late convention that about 300,000,000 
feet of drain-tile have been used iu Ohio since 
the beginning of tile-drainage, and that the 
tile made in 1884 at the 500 factories of the 
State, would make about 15.000 miles of drain, 
or one-fourth as much as that already in the 
ground.The Territorial Wool Associa¬ 
tion has sold its last pound of wool for the 
season and closed its Boston office for a month, 
..The total wool product of Australia 
and New Zealand for the past year was 389.- 
200,000 pounds .11 is reported that 1,000 
new farms will be opened up in Colorado this 
season.More than 2,000 bulls have been 
sold in Colorado the present Spring. They 
have cost from $60 to $1,000 each. 
....Messrs. E. W. Ross & Co., the extensive 
manufacturers of fodder and silage cutters, 
have removed from Fulton, New York, to 
Springfield, Ohio, where they have, to meet 
their greatly increasing business, built works 
with three times tbe capacity of their old 
ones. We wish them the most abundant suc¬ 
cess in their uew home.A disease, the 
symptoms of which are severe coughing, 
choking and bleeding at tbe nose, is killing off 
horses rapidly iu the southern portion of 
Sbelbv County, Illinois....Save in one 
county in California the wheat yield, owing 
to decrease 1 acreage, will bo only from one- 
quarter to three-quarters of last year’s crop 
.... The Secretary of the Interior has received 
a letter from Captain Couch, chief of the 
Oklahoma boomers, in which be asserts that 
the cattlemen are still in possession of the 
choicest lands in the Oklahoma country, and 
protests against their being allowed to re¬ 
main .England annually imports 
from Russia about $60,060,000 worth of grain 
and flour, which is one-fiftli of all the grain 
and flour that John Bull buys abroad. 
The southern part of Africa has 70,000 tame 
ostriches, producing $3,000,000 worth of feath¬ 
ers aunually ............ Between wolves and 
eagles the farmers in the interior of West 
Virginia have been losing thousands of dol¬ 
lars’ worth of sheep and other small stock for 
weeks past .Eighty five young English 
farmers arrived at, Montreal last Tuesday and 
left for the Northwest, where they will settle. 
... There are more than 7.000.000 farmers in 
the United States, or nearly one-eighth of 
the entire population.Papers in the 
West are getting acrimonious over the proper 
action to be taken iu cases of contagious pleuro¬ 
pneumonia among cattle. Some pig-headedly 
still deny the existence of the plague, attri¬ 
buting ignorance or dishouesty to the veteri¬ 
narians who have declared that it does exist 
in a number of places; others object to any 
payment being made by the State for diseased 
animals slaughtered by tbe authorities; others, 
while acknowledging the existence of the 
malady here and there, helittle the danger of 
contagion; othera, again, appear iu a frenzy of 
alarm; while others totally ignore the whole 
matter. The quarantine established by Illi¬ 
nois against cattle from Missouri is causing 
much excitement in the latter State, which, 
like Kentucky, has, through her Legislature, 
willfully neglected, or rather refused, to take 
any official action for the prevention or sup¬ 
pression of the plague within her borders. 
Now sbe loudly protests against the measures 
adopted by other States to guard themselves 
against the consequences of her carelessness— 
or worse.......Accordiug to a French patent, 
the passage of a suitable electric current 
through milk causes the rapid separation of 
the butter and renders churning unneces¬ 
sary. The manufacture of cheese and 
the removal of rancidity from butter by 
electrical aid are also claimed.'. 
_The Lower House of the niiuois Legisla¬ 
ture has passed a bill to regulate the charges 
of the Chicago Stock Yards for yardage, 
freight,grain, hay and other articles furnished, 
and to prevent extortion and unjust discrim¬ 
ination. It provides, among other things, 
that the Stock Yards shall not receive for 
yardage more than 15 cents per head for 
horses, cattle and mules, five cents for bogs, 
and four cents for sheep, nor more than 50 per 
cent, additional to current market wholesale 
prices for hay, straw, corn, or other articles 
supplied by them for the susteuauce of such 
animals, aud that sales shall be made by actual 
weight. The penalty for collecting higher 
rates, or unjust discrimination, is a One of not 
less than $100 nor more than $500 for a first 
offense, and not less than $300 nor more thau 
$1,000 for subsequent offenses. At present the 
yardage per head on cattlo is 50 cents, aud the 
other articles iu proportion. Will the seduc¬ 
tive “influences” of the wealthy Rtock yards 
be able to kill this excellent bill in the Senate 
or before tbe Governor? .
