Buckwheat can be made a profitable op, if proper care is given to it. This .â- ain is worth at least seventy-fiye cents ibashel for feeding, if it is properly fed. It la best ground with com, as fine as koflslble, and may be fed with cut hay or i^w moistened with water. The seed Wy be sown early in July. We have loaBd thick seeding the best. At least pne bnahel per acre should be used. It «ya to prepare the ground as well for I crop as for any other, but it b es- Jally useful for the purpose of break? J up an old meadow, and preparing It lior reseeding. The sod will be well I rotted, and the soil mellowed and I made ready for a fall grain crop, if I this ia desired, to be followed by the IgiaiB seed the next summer. No other loop except peas, so well mellows the I ground as buckweeat, and this is precisely I the effect required in reseeding land. I Btwides this useful purpose, buckwheat is I valuable for Its grain. It will easily pro- I dnoe thirty or forty bushels per acre if I well managed, and a bushel of it is worth [two bushels of oats of the light sort usual* I ly grown, which Is largely husk. The I crop, too, is put in at times and harvested I It times convenient for the farmer. Feediig Chickens for Market. Much profit is missed by feeding young chickens too long. The early broods should now be ready for feeding. It is I better to have them already fed, for then the cockerels will be ready for sale, and the pullets will be so far forward as to be ready to begin laying early in the fall. But if the chickens have not ^been fully fed, the cockerels should be separated now and the old cocks turned in with them. At any rate the cocks should be separated from the hens at once, as they ue a worry and a nniaanoe to the hens, ud more eggs will be laid without them thu with them. Probably no more hens will set bat as the ;s wUl be good for two weeks after the separation, this may oe made at once. The best of the young cockerels should be selected for use next year, anl the rest should be forced for market and disposed of at once. They Till bring more now than at any time later. An excellent feed for them is own-meal, mixed with boiling hot sweet- ttimmed milk. This gives the flash a »ae flavor and a wnite and clear appear- I^ "Wch adds to the market value.

SoStte triangle wtmld haye aoonded for the meeting to open. Brother Oardnerand Sir Isaac Walpole were earnestly diaena. sing the subject of transmigration, and Giveadam Jones and Elder TooU were ending agameof checkers. Pioklea Smith Elder Penstock, Whalebone Howker and other members were matdiing pennies and a general atmosphere of peace and contentanent pervaded the room. An outsider would have said there wai no sin there, and even the closest observer would have failed to detect the least evi- dence of an overshadowing sorrow. bneh was the situation when the huge building was suddenly shaken as if by an earthquake. Phister showered down, window glass rattled and shivered, the bear traps swung wildly to and fro, and from brackets and shelves and niches busts of Cicero iind relics from the pyra mids came tcmbling to the floor in wild confusion. For an instant every mem- ber of tlie club seemed piu»Iyzed, but as soon as this feeling wore away there was a general yell of dismay and rush for the door. No attention was pdd to rule lY. wliich reads ' In case this liall Is to be vacated with extreme suddenness, owing to fire, flood or other cidamity, the Pre- sident sliall have ten feet the start" One wild, dismayed, terror-stricken orowd rushed for the door, bat not a man got out.

While Paradise Hall had been damaged to the extent of t600, and while the dub had suffered an appalling loss in sacred and valued relics, no lives liad been sacrificed. The nearest approach to it was in the case of Judge Cadaver Some one stood on his neck for about three minutes and deliberately abstracted four razors from his left bootleg. The fiendish attempt was, of coarse, at once investigated, bnt the results did not pan out very much. The only suspicious things discovered were a woman's cotton stocking with'a hole in the heel, a pair of blue goggles, a recipe for making gin- ger ale without any ginger in itand a oan« which had either contained peaches or dynamite. Tiie villlan, whoever he waa, had escaped. As near aa could be ascer- tained he entered the grocery below (best goods and lowest prices at this store), tied the can to the handle of a cheap broom, and holding the broom to the ceiling exactly under the spot osoally oc- cupied by Jtlder Cohorts Smith, had poU- ea the trigger and let 'er flicker. The idea was to deateoy the entire elub at one fell blow, but Providence liappily frus- trated the fiendish design. Most of the force of the explosion dodged off after a row of cans of preserved pumpkin on a htgh shelf, and this fact alone saved the hidl above. The best detective talent ui the dub was at once detailed to work the case. Giveadam Jones succeeded in connect- ing with a rejected candidate's sister-in- law, but it was soon thereafter ascertain- ed that he never had a relative of that brand. Sir Codrlngton Duplex diaoover- ed that the goggles were exactly like a pair worn 1^ a colored man who waa drowned in Lake Brie three years ago, but ooold get no farther. It waa quite evident that he was on the right track to connect the drowned man with the ex- plosion, bnt he required time to see his way clear. Samuel Shin laid great stress on the redpe.

Mrs. Delaney, one of Big Bear's prison- ers, gives the following graphic account of her two months' captivity with the In- dians â€" "My name is Theresa Delaney. I waa married to my husband, John Delaney, on the 27th of July, li^82, at Aylmer, in the Province of Quebec, where my mothor is now livng, and others of my reUtions. My husband resided, before coming to this country, at Giouoaater, in the County of Carleton, Ont, where Us father and mother are now living. My husband and I left home on the 1st of August 1882, and went at once to Frog Lake, N. W. T., where my huaband held the podtion of Indian Instructor. When he first came up here he had five bands of Indians to look after, until a year ago, when the Chippewans were taken from his surpar- virion and given JohnFitzpatrick. A little later Mr. Fitapatrick was transferred to another jurisdiction, and the Chippewans agam came under my has1and's care. He then had to look after the Chippewans, OneepowhayawB Miadoo Eooceawsis, and Fuskeaokeewlns, and last year he had to ration Big Bear's tribe. He waa so engaged when the outbreak took place. All these Indiana were very peace- ably mdiued, and most friendly to us all. My husband was much reapected and really beloved by all under his care, they SEEMED TO BE MOST ATTACHED TO HIM. We were liherefore greatly aatoniahed at their action towards ua, but after all it was only Big Bear's following that showed their enmity to us. They, too, pretended to be most friendly, and have of :en tjld ua tliat bnt for my husband they would have starved. The first we knew of the uprising was on the 2nd of April at 6 o'dock in the morning. Two of Big Bter's tribe came into our house and told as our horses were stolen by the Halfhreeds, and at tiie same time is waa they them- sdves who had stolen the horaes and hid- den them. Soon after the arrivd of these two Indians, some thirty more â€" all armed, and most of them mounted â€" came to the house and f oroed their way in. They took all the aims and ammunition they coald telling us they were short and wanted all. They required us to go with them, because they said they wished to save ua from the Breeds. We were taken first to the Agent's (Mr. Qainn), and the Indiana DSllAiaXD HIS ABMS and ammunition, and had a long talk about all keeping together to keep back the Breeda when they came to take the proviaiona. I am aatiafied now they were not aincere in thia, and it waa all to deedve ns,for there were no Breedatocome. Ft om Quinn's we were taken to the priests' house. The priests were named Father's Fafard and Marohand,whowere both subsequent- ly killed. We were not at all ill-treated so far, but there was every outward appear- ance of friendly feeling towards us. When we reached Hhe priesto' house mass was going on, the attendantabeing some Half- breeds who had previously been taken orisoners by the Indians and detained with the prieats, in theiattors' reddenoe. The Indiana would not let the priests finish masa, and (Mrdered them, with the Breeda ana oursdves, back agabi to our own houae. We were all left for about an hour, the IiKliana surrounding the house. The priests did not antidpato any danger, aoppoaing that the Indilana intended havfasg a feaat of the cattle that had been given fiiem by Mr. Quinn, the agent By this time it waa about 9:30 in the monung. Daring our last detentdon at our house Big Bear came in and told my husband tiiat he waa frightened some of his young bravea IHTENDSD SHOOTING THE WHITES, but that he, my husband, would be safe any way. At thia time the only pLuw they had plundered was Mr Dill'satore, whleh they liad catted, bat while waidng, the Indians tdd Mr. Cimeron,a]aoai»i8(mer in our house, that they wanted him to accompany thorn ti open the Hndaon Bay auwe, and Mr. Qamtma did ao, thna in my opinitMa saving hIa life. After opening the atore the Indians sent him tothdr camp aboatamile and a half away. After securing everything in the latter atore, they came to oar hooae, and ordered ua all up tothe Imiian eampu We departed, my haaband and I, as well as all othera, only taUb^ with ua what we had on our backs, nob aapposingwe would be long away.

Almost immediatdy another Indian run up and ordwed me away. I wanted to Biay, but he dragged me off, pulling me along by the arma through the bruah and briar and through the ereek where the water reached to my walat I was put into an Indian tent and left there until night- fall, without uything cffered me to eat, thoogh I could not iMve eaten anyway. I waa not allowed outdde of the tent, and so had no opportunity of returning to my dead huabuid, and luve never seen him since. At night time two Half breeds, John Pritduurd and Adolphus Nolan, came and PUKCHASBD OXm RELEASE by giving horses to the Indiana, the only two horaea they had. These Breeds were prisoners alao, so that I was virtually still a priatmer witii Big Bear; but John Prit- duurd and dl die Breeds were most kind, and I wiah to state that I believe both Mrs. Gtowanlock and I owe our escape from ter- rible treatment and at last massacre to John Pritohard and other friendly Breeds, prisoners like oursdves. From this time forward we were prisoners for two months all bnt a day. Every other day we were moved witJi the entire oamp from one place to another. Big Bear's treatment of us would have been orud in the ex- treme, but Pritohard saved ua from the agony of forced marohea through doughs, brush, and rough land. At tUs time ac- companying us were Mrs. Gowanlock, and among the Indians were Mr. and Mrs. Itfadean and tiieir faihlly of five children, Mr. and Mrs. Mann and their family of three children, Mr. and Mrs. Quinney, John Fitzpatrick, and a Frenchman nam- ed Pierrie. I cannot say how any of these were^treated, as I only saw themcasudly when on the march, but think they were not more ill-treated than I was myself, txcept that they had all TO WALK CONTIKXTALLY, except Mr. McLean and Mrs. Mann and the very small children. Occadonally an Indian more humane than the.rest, would offer a ride to Aose who were required to walk and sometimes John Pritohard would incr e as e his already overladen load by taking some wearied one up. Prit- ohard and dl the Breeds walked always, though by making ua walk they could have ridden. His two little boys, aged 13 •nd 16, walked, though their feet became very sore at times, but they never com- plained, because they knew their wdking enabled ua to ride. They were noble lit- tle fellows. I waa terribly atrioken down. I aeemed demented and could hardly tell one day what had happened the day be- fore. I went on and on as in a fearful dream, but seemed consdous sll the while of MT HOME AT ATLMIR, and my longing for it aeemed done to keep me up. I was afrdd to askafter my husband, but the Breeds told ma later on iJiat they had buried the only four bodies they had been permitted to, my husband's, the two priests, and Mr. Gowanlock's un- der the church, bnt aathe church waa burnt the bodies were exposed, and then I asked to have them buried and the Breeds did as I requested. I should have told yoa that aa I waa beinK dragged away from my husband's body I saw the two priests drop, Father Forfard fell firab Mid tiien Father Mardiad. The for- mer waa administering to my husband when he fell, »nd the latter dropped im- mediatdy afterwarda, as if sliot by the same IncUan from the aeoond barrel of a gun. During our journey we had plenty to eat, cooking it ourselves. Our direc- tion waa backwards and forwarda to avoid tlw police oatehing ua. We were taken fro a Frog lake towarda Pitt, then back again north f jr about aixty milea. On a Thursday â€" a week before we eacaped â€" we had a battle, that la, THE BATTLE WITH OBITERAK 8TRAN«E. Tlie women ware aU left in the wooda, but the Indiana were entrenched in a rav- ine, where they had dug rifle pita, aa I waa informed. Thia waa the firat intima- tion I had of our troopa coming We oould i^dnly Iiear the firing. We oauld eadly reoognlae the cannon. Tiie fight began at 7 ia the morning, and lartied until 10. We ooold not aee any of it but oould hear it At ten, the pdiee, finding thsf were not atrong enoiH^ retreated, and the Indiana then feU hade into the boah, where we were, and froni thenoe back farthar into the budi, all of ua havlngto accompany tliem. The B r eed a at thia time were trying to eaaape^ Imt ooold not do ao, aa tliey wen watolted too doady.

Hare we ctrnped for the nighty the scouts remaining with us all the ^m t. On Thursday morning we moved on, reaching Pitt on Friday about ten in the morning, where we were met by OoL Straubeiz'.e and Col. Wllliama. AU came forward to meet us, and at once wb were taken on board the North- Weat whiere we remained all Saturday and until Sunday m3ming, when we were transferred to the Baroness and reached Battleford Sunday night, where we have been ever since comfortably quartered at thelMurracks with Mrs. Laurie. I hope to leave wrlthin a few days for my home, my Intenae longing for which has done kept me up amid all my TRIALS. HARDSHIPS, AND OREAT LOSSES. I desire to express my thanks to Al- mighty Gkd that he sent with ua through- out, Buoh a kind and condderate pro- tector as John Pritohud, and the other Breeds who were with him. There is no telling what abuse we might have been subjected to but for their preaence. Fre- quent attempts were made to readi us by tne Indiana, but the Hdfbreeds watohed night after night armed and ready to keep cff any attempt to Hi-treat oa. Four different nights Indians approadied our tents, but the determination of oor protectors savea us Terrible as it all was, however, I am grateful that I came through ^unmolested, and am permitted to return to my home once agdn unharm* ed in body and mind." Locking Vp the Tower. F«w persons are aware of the striotnesB with which the Tower of L'ndon is guaid- ed fron foes without and from treacheiy within. The ceremony of shutting it op every night oontbiueB to be aa solemn ana as rigidly precautionary as if the Frendt invasion were actually afoot. Immediately after ' tattoo " all strong* era are expdled and, the gatoa onee closed, nothing short rf such imperative neceisity as fire or sudden, illness oaa procure their being re-opened till the ap p:inied hour the next morning. The ceremony of locking up is very ancient, curious, and atotely. A few minutea before the dock strikes the lioar of eleven â€" on Thursdays and Fridaya twelveâ€" the head warden (yeoman porter), clothed in a long red cloak, bearing in lib hand a huge bunch of keys, and attended by a brother warden carrying a gigantle lantern, appears in front of the mmim guard house, and calla out In a load voice: â€" "Escort keys!" At theae words the sergeant of the guard, with five or six men, tuma oat, and follows him to the ' Spur," an ootec gate each sentry challenging, as thef pass the post â€" "Who goes there?" "Keys." Tiie gates being carefally looked and barred-iâ€" the warden wearing as solemn aa aapeot and m a king as much noise as poe- dbleâ€" the procession returns, the sent- ries exacting the same explanation, and receiving the saine anawer as before. Arrived once more in' front of the «»»»fc^ guard-house, the sentry there gives a load stamp with his foot, and the followlv conversation takes place between him mm the approaching party :â€" " Who goea there?" "Keys." "Whose keys " "Queen Victoria's keya." "Advance Queen Viotoria's keys, and all's weU." The yeoman porter then excbima â€" " God bless Queen Victoria." The main guaM devoutly respondâ€" "Amen." The officer on doty gives the word â€" " Present arma I" The firdoeka rattle tlia officer the hOt sf his swoid eacort fdl in i thdr companions and the yeoman porta marches majestically acroaa the pajrade alone, to depodt the keya in the lieuten- ant's iodginga. The oeremony over,not only la all eg- reaaausd ingress totafly precluded, bob even wltUn the walls no one can stir witheot bdog famished with the eoontar* sign; and anyone who, unhapirily forget- ful, venUiroa from hia quarters unprovid- ed with his talisman, is sure to be made the prey of the first aentind whose poet he crosses.
