Oysters nro rnisod by cultivation , jnst
aa fruita nnd vcgotablea oro. They ro
found in all norw , in from four to six
fathoms of watorand never at a great
diatnnco from the shoro. They nro most
abundant in the quiet vrnters cf gulfs and
bays found at the mouths of largo rivers.
Thu principla sources of aupply In the
United States are the Chnaapoako bay ,
Now Jersey coast and Lon Island sound.
Formerly tbo northern bcda were almost
wholly kept by ro-atocldng with aood
oysters from Choaanenko bay and the
Hudson river , but of late the oyster
reapers have secured the aced , or spat , vs
the fisherman call it , during the spawning
sooaon , and now grounds have boon util
ized until the area of the oyster beds can
bo measured by townships and Is con *
atantly extending.
Although there islio such thing aa buy
ing the buds of any of the public waters ,
yet oyster grounds are , in a manner ,
bought and sold in thla way : A man era
a company will clear up a now place and
boqln raising oysters. If thcao men
with to go out of the buslncaa they sell
their tquatter'a right to their bod. The
right ia recognized in the business , and
auch a aalo holds good by common con1
aont. The spat gathered in the apawn
ing season ia scattered over the bed from
which oysters have boon gathered , or on
newly prepared ground , as the case may
bo. Iloro it lies from ono year to five or
nil yoara. Ilockawaya Ho about ono year
nnd sounds from three to five years.
The increase ia from three to aix baskets
or every ono of spat. The chances as n
rule are in faror of a good crop , but the
oyatermon have many things to contend
with , so it aomotlmoa happens that when
they go to gather the oyatera they find
either dead ones or none at all. The
oyster him its natural enemies , auch aa
the drumlish and starfish , which destroy
a great many , and in the second place
the ground aomotlmoa proves unsatis
factory. Sometimes a heavy weight ot
graaa growa fast to them , and , pressing
them down into the mud , smothers thorn ,
or when they are on sandy soil a atorm
will occasionally cover them entirely with
aand. However , with the constantly
Improved mo'hoda of cultivation , means
are being contiuu illy devised for the batter -
tor protection of the oyttar.
Two-thirds of the oysters now brought
into the Now York market during the
summer and autumn come from the lower
bay , and are called sounds. The re
mainder may bo aaid to como from Hock-
away , Dluo point , and the East rivor.
The winter trade doponda more or loss on
the supply f com Chesapeake bay , although
largo quantities taken in the Now York
'
1 , waters are stored for winter uoo.
Down on West street , a few blocks
north of Canal street , a little fleet of
oyator boats , packed together like aardlnoa
in a box , may bo aeon any day delivering
their cargoes. How ono ever gets out is
a profound mystery. The boatmen thorn-
solves eay it often takes half a day to get
one clear of the rest. They are small ,
alnglo-mastod , and each carries a jib.
They vary in length between thirty toot
and rnrty foot long. They cost between
$500 and $2,000 apiece , according to
their size and the manner in which they
are fitted up. There are also a great
many etuam tugaongagodin the business.
Each boat usually carries five men. The
wholosala dealer * , who have their houses
upon rafta along the dock , own or have
au interest in moat of theao boata. Ono
dealer will often own a nuaibor of sail
boats , or an interest in several , and per
haps a number of tnga as well. There
are , however , many Doata that are
owned by the men who sail them.
The boats usually stay out sv week or six
days Each is provided with an oyster
tongs and dredge. At first , while the
oysto's ao thick the men use the tongs.
Afterward they finish up by raking over
the ground with the dicdge. The drcdgo
is nu iron laku in two sections , It has a
bag hanging from the back of it , made of
iton links. ' .This ia always hold open by
an lion fcamo. The oystu's , as they are
raised up by the teotli of the dredge , are
shoved back into the bag until it is lillcd ,
and then it is i aised and its contents are
emptied onboaid. It iseithor drugged by
the Kiilhoat with spicad canvas or worked
by steam.
When nboab lias a load of oysterswhich
is from I,0t0 to C,000 , iiccotding to the
si'/o of the c aft , it can ics the oysters to a
vatologged crib. This is done ' in order
that the oysters may drink , and 'thus gain
a line , plump appearance for market , and
also supply themselves with a circulating
fluid to stand long transportation. They
are usually put in the crib at ebb-tide , us
it is only then ( hut oysters open After
this other boats deliver them to the whole
sale dealeis. Oysters UTO classified accord
ing to their si/.o , as extras , box , cullins ,
and cullentines. Some of the dealers
open the uystoiH they handle , while others
.simply dtul in them in the shell. The
opnnura get § 1 per .1,000 for opening the
oyato'B ' , and one man can open f torn 3,000
to 0,000 n day.
A/ A GHAU roil A KINGDOM.
A Syndicate or Capitalists After Land
That AV1II Support Thirty
Thousand Fanners ,
There is much excitement throughout
this territory , writes a Miles City , Mon
tana , correspondent of the Now York
faun , over the project of a syndicate of
Colorado capitalists to lease from the Crow
Indians the greater poition of their res
ervation , 1'rotesla against the 'scheme
ate in prepatation ovciywhore. It is pro
posed that a piotcst shall go from every
postollicu in Montana. 'IJio grand jury of
Yellowstone county , in the name of the
citizens , has entered a protest against the
lease. A citizens' commi1 too recently for
warded to Senator Duwcs , chairman of
ho commission to treat with the Grow
Indians tor the cession of a portion of the
reservation , their protest ugainst the lease
of any pott ion of the reservation to the
.syndicate.
The opposition to this schema has uni
ted lu Montana intoresto hitherto the
IE03. antagonistic the cattlemen and the
amiial euttli-ra , the cow.bo > s and the
grangers. The former do not want to
.eeo tbo finest grazing lands in the xcrri
tory grabbed by outsiders. The latter
fay that this will practically close to sot
tic-merit and cultivation by the industriet
immigrant , for n century at the least ,
the finett farming lands in the territory.
It will ro'atd the growth and advance-
onont of Montana , keep nninhabited a
Urjre tract of valuable land , and to
very great extent , sat back the intoreatt
of tbo mercantile elm , the tradersaad
the farmers of Montana. It is contend
ed fclio that no benefits worth consider
log will accrue to the Crows from ouch
le8 , should it bo effected. Olivets
rent will be found in c'alms for cattle
.sUughtered by the Indiana. There an
also Ihoao who predict that , if thia lets
la parmltted , the result will bo trouble ,
oven to bloodshed.
I am in a position to view thla matter
Impartially , being neither a cattleman
nor a granger. On the broad prlncipln
should rnlo the disposal of public landi ,
It ia to 1 > 3 hoped that an immense tract
of rich land , which would glvo 100 acres
apiece to .10,000 industrious settlers , may
not bo tied up in the handa ot a fow.
The trno plan that which is fair.to the
Indian and the settler , and to the citi
zens of Montana ia the cession to the
government of auch portion of the reser
vation aa the Crowa do not need , and its
sale by the government , In properly lim
ited quantities for their benefit. Lot us
ceop all that remains to us of the Innd
out of the hands of monopolists , or wo
shall have in our young territories the
cumo of absentee landlordism , and in
mother century threo-fonrtha of their
'ortllo'surface will belong to foreign bul
lion lords , and the free yonng regions of
iho far west will bo crushed into the
Irolanda of the futnro. ,
Mcanwhilo , it is sn'd ' that the agents of
ho syndicate are working hard among the
Indians to obtain consent and s'gnaturca ,
and with considerable success. The peo-
ilo hero are very much afraid that the
> ressuro of ccrttin political exigencies will
ssuso tbo success of the Bjndicate'a pro
ject. But until it is an accomplished fact ,
uul sotno of them say af torthoy are going
; o light it , as they say , "lor all they are
worth. "
The effort on the part of a very small
party , calling thenuolves cattlemen , to
run out the Ohoyennes on the Tongue
river and the Rosebud , has died out , and
quiet is restored. The Chcycnncs are
muling logs to build a now storehouse on
ho Rosebud to replace the house that
was maliciously burned by a supposed
sympathizer with Tollifor , the Cowboy
vho wantonly shot at and wounded Black
Wolf last spring. TA\O Horns is now at
ho Rosebud station on the Northern
? ncific with a train of sixteen teams haili
ng the supplies to the agency. The
cams are all owned by Indians of Two
Horn's band , and driven by Indian
eamstois. Fotngo to subsist their nui-
nals on the return hip was telegaphud
or from hero yesterday , and a quantity of
oats shipped them by jail. White Bull ,
vho leads the Tongue river settlement , is
out with some of his following hunting
tray byflalo bulls on the Upper Powder.
The cowboy Tollifor. who attacked
Mack Wolf , has not boon brought back.
A. deputy sheriff , at considerable ex-
> en3o to the long-suffering tax-payers of
/uater county , went as fir aa old Mexico
and succeeded in getting Tollifor on the
American side oi the Rio Grande , and
omporarily securing his person , but the
unda which wore sufficient for the searcher
or the fugitive were not enough for hia
lotontion and return. The needful am-
own were telegraphed for , but the Caster
connty authorition could not or would
not respond financially , and the deputy
heriiT turned hia prisoner loose. Thus
Juator county has a pretty big bill to payer
or nothing. In the moan time ono of
.ho Choyonncarrho pleaded guilty to
mrning the ranch vhoro Tolifer made
lia uprovokcd attack on Black Wolf
ins died in the territorial prison at Hele
na of pulmonary disease.
Taking into consideration the signal
ailare of the ofliccra of jnstico of CUB tor
connty to bring Tollifor. the origin of
ho whole trouble , to trlol , it would bo a
; raclous act , If cot an set of justice , on
ho part of the present acting governor
or on that of the now governor whsn ho
issumes his ollkc , t3 pardon the three
surviving Choyonnoi. It would have a
very good effect on the Indians , and
would restore in some degree their faith ,
.0 . widely shaken , in the white man's law.
it was hoped that the Jato governor would
lave done this act of clomeacy.
The only attacks to which the Indiana
of thia portion of the territory are now
subject are from war parties or , rather ,
isrtiea of horao-thlevea of their own raco.
3oth Choyennps and Crows are suffering
Tom the thieving raids of the Plegane.
The last mentioned Indian. , who were in
i starving condition at tbo beginning of
; ho present year , are now aaid to have
plenty to eat and any number of horaos
md ponies stolen principally from the
Drowa , bat some from white settlors.
The Piogana regularly raid the Crows.
They have taken , year after year , thona-
inds of horcea and ponies from them.
The Crow Indian has been BO terribly
; hrashed by the Sioux , and so utterly
crushed , morally , that ho considers an ex
aggerated discretion the bolter part oi
ralor. Indeed , the Crows no longer
snow what valor ia. The Sioux
lave knocked all the fight
out of thorn. Aa far aa they
are concerned , the PJcgans have a pretty
mro thing and a aafo ono. It la different ,
lowover , with the Cheyenne ? , to whom
; ho Piogana have racont'y ' , on ono or two
occoaiona , turned their attention , bat
scarcely with the success and not with the
safety of their operations against the
Crows. A party of Plegans recently ran
oil Bomo stock belonging to the Rosebud
Dhoyennes. Two Horna quickly followed
thorn , attacked them , killed two of them ,
and recaptured the stolen stock. The
Piegaua who succeeded in escaping to
their reservation were naturally very
much incensed 'by their defeat. They
aout word the other day to tbo Rosebud
Indians that they were now going to give
the Oheyonnea all the fighting they
wanted. The Cheyonnea replied with a
request to them to como on at their
earliest convonienca , and they would glvo
them aomo more.

Employed ,
During tlio past year forty pnpois de
voted to the welfare of the uorkinginon
"passed in their checks. " About sixty
were started , and the other twenty nro
howling for subscriptions and money to
prolong their career. Unfortunately , asn
class of pnpcrs , they show very little
ability and frequently less honesty.
Many of them act as n pipe between olio
political party or the other to do this or
that for so much money , if they got the
chance. The fault lies not so much with
o supporters of these papers as with
their malingers , though the management
of n labor paper is by no means an easy
task. The daily press of late years shows
so broad and liberal a spiiit that a labor
paper has no excuse for existence in most
cities. Besides , they do not reach the
public car , which they must leach in
order to have any \ \ eight.
What young men may accomplish ia
shown in the case of Fisher , the oil king.
Ho was a shoemaker's aou , served three
years in the army , wont to the oil region
as a l&borer , saved , watched , inveated
and conquered a fortune ; lest itt- caught
on again ; lost once moro and again - cauxht
on , and now has a 5000 barrel well , ono-
balf of which ia going inta flame and the
other halt into iron tanks. This haa not
boon all luck , but required hard work ,
cloao observation and good buainesa qual
ification besides. Nineteen In twenty of
the oil men of Pennsylvania , not except
ing the Standard men , were obscure ,
illiterate day laborers twenty-five yoara
ago. There arc thousands of opportuni
ties open , but they are not observed by
the rank and fiio of laborers , who Rcorn
to tavo five cents a day. Were they to
Jo ao all aristocracy of wealth would bo
impossible. The true basis of progress
and development la in individual oxoi-
tion and accomplishment in any direction
or department of activity. These who
wait on legislation and on organlzition
and outside agencies of any character will
bo left.

Many of our old time statesmen , like

Panics and depressions are the natural
pnniahmpnta of unjuist and inequitable
ilstribution of the products of labor.
The only remedy for overproduction is an
equitable distribution , not au equal dia
; rlbutlon. Permanent prosperity is pos
sible only when wealth producers receive
approximately whit they produce , what
ever be their cervices. The errors of our
present systems are coming into bolder
relief , and the trutha of the higher politi
cal economy are finding gradual recogni
tion.

A Pennsylvania rail mill manager haa
nventod an iron table by which the labor
of forty men at the rolls can bo diapenaed
with. A blast-furnace manager haa in-
rented a hoist which dispenses with the
abor of six mon. If this keeps on fur
nace and mill labor will become a drug.
Already the applicants for saving labor
it mills and furnaces are surprising , and
; hero seems to bo as much field as over
: or the play of inventive talent against
manuel labor.
The great problem of the future is not
; ho division of the Congo country or the
establishment of a dozen treaties , but the
proper distribution of the earnings of toil
ers in field , shop , mill and mine. Amcri
can and English fanners are bewailing

"and are seeking relief in agitation and or
anization. Iho greatest possessors of the
orgaii'zed systems of production and ex
change are moaning over small profits , lit
tle business , insullicient demands , and un
settled economic and commercial condi
tions. Nobody hecms contented. Each
class of inteiest blames some other inter
est or class , and tliinks that if it had
the legislative reins things would go difl'er-
cntly.

duties to their wage-woikers than paying
wages for work done. As this is the sea
son for good icsolvcs the suggestion is
made that manufacturers start reading-
looms for their employes. A few books
and papers and month-old magazines will
do to start with. 1 hero is an abundance
of raw litoraty ability among our wage-
workers. Philanthropically inclined pur-
sons can lie found ready to como to these

General Uanicy exploded ono trnditior
that has long been connected with this

fought from behind breastworks of cotton
bales. "I naked General Jackson , Gen

ixtondod into the swamp. About a qusr-
or of a mile from it there was a huge
ilantatiou drainngo canal , such aa are
lommon in the Lonloi&na lo ylands.
lero Gen. Packiugham formed his first
attacking column. Hia formation was a
: olumn in mnsa of about fifty filoa front.
Phis was formed under the fire of the
ow regular artillerists I had in a little-
redoubt in Coffee's front , and tint of
some cannon taken from a man-of-war ,
ilaced in a battery on the river and
ervod by sailors. Coffee , seeing the
lirection of the attack , which was in-
.ended to turn his flank , dashed forward
and said to hh mon : "Hold your fire
until you can see their belt-buckles. "
? ho riflemen were formed in two ranks
jchind the worka mentioned , and when
ho first rank fired the second waa loaded
ind ready. There wore about eighteen
mndrod mon behind thia frail cover , all
of whom were dead shots , and each had
00 bullets in hia pouch and the noc.es-
ary powder in his horn. The British
roopa came up to within 100 yards of
work without firing a musket. Itrraa a
beautiful alght to BOO. They marched aa
tcadily shoulder to shoulder aa though
hey wore on review. At 100 yards' dis-
anco the order waa given them to charge.
with a cheer nnd at doable quick they
came forward. They were about sixty
yards distant vrhon a long blazing flash
an all along our line. It was as pretty
volley-firing as I over hoard or saw.
" The bmoko hung so heavy that for

In anotncr instant thcio was another

came from the riflemen. I called Tom

galloped over to Coffee's line. Just then
, ho smoke rose and I saw tint the head of
iho British column had literally molted

0 the canal , where they liad started from ,
nd woio there reformed. This time the
hargo was led by Gen. Packenham in
> en3on , gallantly mounted , and riding as
oolly and gracefully as if ho were on
wado. Just as he came within range of
no riflemen I saw him reel and topple out
of his saddle , mortally wounded. I have

The state veterinary surgeon , tinder the
irovisions of the now law , has mndo rules
or the prevention of contagious diseases
iniong domestic animals.
Itulo 1 provides that all cattle from bo-
ow the north line of Indian territory
vliich shall bo brought into the state bo-
ween April 1 and November 1 shall bo
ubject to quarantine , and also all land on
\hich such cattle may bo fed in this state.
Rules 2 and 3 provide for the qtiamn-
ine of all such cattle in transit through
ho state that may bo unloaded from rail-
oad cars for food and water or leship-
nent.
liilo { provides sixty days' quarantine
or till cattle brought into this state from

) lciiro-pneiiinonia is known to exist.
Rule f > requires the carcasses of all
animals dead fiom anthrax to bo burned
or buried.
Ilitlo 0 prohibits glandorcd animals from
icing taken over any public highways ,

tlaco or being placed whore they can como

nals.

Kulo 7 requires all animals suspected of
glando'B to bo isolated from all Bother

jy the state veterinary surgeon.
Rule 8 defines n suspected animal to bo

llulo 9 requites tlio carcasses of nil
animals dead from glanders to hoeatiitatcd

Rule 10 declares that no animal affected
uth glanders shall bo deemed as having
any value. ,
M'Tho torn qtia-antino is defined as thy
complete isolation of all diseased or sus-
iccted animals from healthy animals. No
irovision is made for pleuro-pneumonia ,
lor for hogs , for the reason that for the
ormer provision is made in the statute ;
or the latter it would require an army of
ctoiinary surgeons to investigate cases of
liaeascn hogs , and the expenses would be
enoinious ; and further , ne.irly1 all cases of

WASHIXOTOX , January 1. Sharo" , tin
Snn Francisco millionaire , who has jus
been defeated in the divorce proceeding
brought .iga list him , has been in Wash
ington for one or Uu > winters. Hoeii. .
through the form of pretending to serve
ono term in the senate , but the finnnria
troubles upon the Pacilio coast , fnllnuitii ,
the failure of the Bank of Califotnia , kepi
him occupied there. For Uo winters o :
of his term ho never put in an appearance ,
and it was only durini ? the last year ot
two of liis service that ho made any pre
tense of performing his senatorial duties.
lie was ono of the smallest and mosl
insignificant looking men u ho ever
served in the senate. Not even
the roputat'on of his millions could
clothe this cheap looking man with a sem
blance of dignity. Ho is about five feet
six inches in height , while his figure is as
poor and thin as if ho were lialf-starvcd.
13 is head is very small , oven for his dimin
utive figure. _ There ia .1 thin , straggling
.growth of hair smoothed over his yellow
ish-brown skull , and down over his low ,
cunning forehead. This hair is a rusty
gray-brown. His face is thin , sunken
ind smooth shaved , with the exception eli
i small , scant , grayish-brown mustache ,
ivliich'cmls'at the corners of his mouth.
U is eyes are as black and sparkling as
: hose of ii ferret , r.nd are lighted up with
an expression of vulgar cunning and odi
ous self-satisfaction. His nose is con-
stnictcd upon the hauio meager scale ns the
other features of his fac ? . It is a small
nig , and no amount of winchowovcr gen
erous in quality , could file the livid pallor
of r-this nose up to the color of life.
There was something almost atrocious
n the aggressive vulgarity of thu coarse
ittlo man. His dress was thoroughly in
inmiony with his general appearance.
3o was very fond of long , shiny broad-
: loth coats , about three sizes too large for
lim , brocaded wa'stcoats ' , black , blue and
cd velvet cravats , nnd yellow gray
rouscis. He used \o wear- boots made
> y some San Francisco shoemaker which
n themselves were curiosities. They had
cry long legs and were so short in tlio
ole that the uppers were pressed out bo-
end them in the wearing. The heels
voro very high and were pushed so far
brwatd as to bo under the center of the
oot. Tlio idea was to give the nppear-
mce of a very small foot. The idea may
lave been all right , but the result gave
ho senator the appea-anco of having two
oltib feet.
Like many men of shallow minds and
mall education , Sharon aspired to talk in
ho deeply philosophical vein. While ho
lover had the courage to do moro in the
enate than to read an occasional speech
rom laboriously prepared manuscript , in
u'ivato ho was disagreeably aggressive in
issoitihgniost o.aciilarly the wildest kind
of nonsense obout religion and politics.
When ho first came to Washington to
stay lie was invited out to a good many
dinners. But very soon the principal
linner-givers of the town began to grow
by of him. At a dinner given in the
ntorest of Justice Field's alleged candi-
lacy for the presidency in 1880 , Sharon
vas a guest. The genial host intended to
,11111 the general conversation toward the
atter part of the dinner to the subject of
ho resplendent vittucs of Justice Field ,
mt after the fourth course Shat on began
vith the caoklo and snort which were the
isual signals employed by the senator to
ndicato that ho was about to speak. He
elected Buddhism as his topic , and with-
ut a word of knowledge of the subject or
f oxcusfi , ho drifted out into a two hours
narling soliloquy upon that subject. Of
ourso Justice Field s merits were never
cached. And the pi ice of a good dinner
or fifteen persons , at § 10 a plato , had to
) o charged up to the profit and loss side of
, ho Field campaign fund.
Sharon was hero last summer for the
lurpoao of consulting with John B.
llley , of Massachusetts. Alley ja oup-
poaed to bo worth $20,000,000. Ho ia
a a physical dwarf , and ttioko of
nothing but his money. I mot these
; wo gentlemen in the parlor of a prom-
nent lawyer here , and had the pleasure
of listening to the convcraation of the
wo great capitalists. For ono straight
half hour they did nothing but banter
each other as to the amount they were
really worth. Sharon inalatod that
Alley was worth twenty millions. Alloy
iluebed like a schoolgirl with her first
over at the idea , and swore that ho wan
not worth moro than half of that. At
.hia . Sharon would anlckor and snort in
the moat contemptuous disbelief in
Alley's modeaty. And then Alley would
come back with the charge that Sharon
was worth at least twenty.fivo cailllona.

Juxlith Hair Drc.'sT.
To have bountiful hair and keep it in
iehlth requires aa much care as the
oeth , ntilri or faco. So many twiat the
mir up in some becoming fashion the
ear round and wonder that it gcti
btroakod , thin in spots and seems harsh
and dry. The hair should bo loosened
every night before retiring , combed froa
rorn all tangles with a bono comb ( rub-
> cr combs have deco much to split and
break the hair nearly all have too much
electricity to UBO rubber- ) , then usa n
etiff brush for a long time , brushing from
.ho . top to the very ends.
It is wcill for a lady who has a maid ,
for it is impossible to brush ono'a ha'r ' if
very long. Thou braid and fasten the
ondi with toft silk braid fcr the night.
The scalp should bo kept clean end
iBftlthy ; wash ocoiuUnally and have it
horoughly shampooed two or three times
a year as well.
To waah , braid the hair loosely in sev
eral braida , Uko a raw op and rnb thor
oughly into the acalp ( if beaten first it
ruba in bettor ) , then rinse in cold water
with a little ammonia Incorporated in it ,
wring the braida lu a coarse- towel , Bit by
lie fire or in the * un until dry , and then
comb out the braida. The braiding pre
vents snarling , Where one's hair is thin
a quiuino'lotion will prevent ltd falling
out and give lifo to Iho roots. The Par.
slan fashion for dressing children's
lair are aa follows ; Ringlets are moot
'avorablo for bibles Little boys have
curia in the bick and bams _ in front ,
Llttlo girls have their luir waved and
'illlng down the back , with a colored rib-
3on to keep it in place. Some young
; lrla have revived the fashion of light
flair nata , with largo rneshf s , In which
the hair falls looeo and aa low down ns
the middle of the back. This style shows
the hair to great advantage , and will
probably meet with great approval.
From 16 to 17 years of ago the hair ia
worn high and twiatod on the top of the
head. With thla method of arranging
the hair round hats bavo no olnstlcs , eo
aa not tj conceal any part of the pretty
wavea which the hair forms when thne
raited from the nape of the neck , Tbo hat
