CONSUMPTION PRONOUNCED CONTAGIOUS
The first question discussed in the Medical

interests more directly, perhaps, than any

tubercle, its contagousness and prophylatic.

How WOMAN FOUND Her LONG. LOST
CHTLDREN.-Since the prevailing Indian
troubles commenced an Indian camp was
captured, together with number of prison
ers. including squaws and some balf a dozen
white captives, boys and girls, from five to
twelve years ofage. Word was sent through
out the country, inviting those who had lost
children to come to the camp and identify,
If possible, their children, as none of them
could give any account who their parents
were, or where they were taken from. so
young were they when taken captive by the
Indians. Numbers went to the camp
many more than there were children-and
OF course many returned with heavy hearts
at being unable to find their lost ones
Among the number who went hundreds Of
miles to the camp. was mother who lost
two chlldren-a boy and a girl, one three
and the other five years of age-years ago.
Efforts were made to persuade her not to 90.
and SO long time had elapsed it was certain
she could not identify her children, even if
they stood before her. Rut she could not
rest-she must go, and go she did. On
arriving at the encampment, she found the
captlves ranged in line for inspection. She
looked at them first from a distance-her
anxious heart bounding in her bosom. But
she did not see her children-at least she saw
nothing in the group that bore the slightest
resemblance to her baby boy and girl as
they looked playing about her door step. She
drew nearer and peered deep into the ewes of
each, who returned her look with stony
gaze, yet anxious one-they too, hoping to
see something in her that would tell them
that she was their mother. She looked long
and steadily at them, as her heart began to
sink and grow heavy in her bosom. At last,
with tears and sobs, she withdrew, and when
some PAGES off she stopped and turned about
quickly, as. apparently, a thought had
occurred to her. Drying her eyes, she broke
forth in a sweet hymn she was wont to sing
to her children as a lullaby. Scarce line
had been uttered, when two of the captives-
boy and a girl-rushed from the line ex-
claiming Mammal Mamma !" The
mother went home perfectly satisfied she
had found her long lost children.

SINGULAR ExPLosIoN.-An apt and literal
illustration of the old adage, that law peonle

lish paper. 1t was simply the explosion of a

death of one person, and the serious injury
of several others, it was considered of suf.

With trumpet's cry and roll of drums,
This way the tide of battle comes:
All the vast spaces of the hills
The thunder of the cannon fills;
Nearer 1t comes ! And who are these,
Like broken waves of stormy seas
Long lines of shattered blue, that meet
In rout, confusion and defeat?
Up the long road the columns fy,
And still tho fierce triumphant cry
Pnrsues, aud yon dark cloud of gray
comes surely, swiftly on this way.
Its rolling thunder louder grows,
It's deadly lightning leaps and glows,
And these who fly, our friends, and those Wit

Now for that crushed and ruined host
Is victory forever lost
Northward it flies and Northward comes
The roll of Early's rebel drums;
our banners IN his ranks are flying
his march Is on our dead and dying:
Northward he comes, and who shall STAY
His swift, resistless lines of gray,
But one stern face is Southwark set;
But one man is not beaten yet
Not get, though all besides should fly,
Not get, though faithless victory
Perches on rebel flags forever
The Corps is whipped-the General never!
Lo! It's an army that hath fed,
And none are heroes but the dead.
When riding down the valley far
He brought soul into the war.
Swift came the trampling steed, more swift

His voice went forth before his sword
And slew the fears of men with shame,
Then when he met the mighty rout

As flame through flame the order ran;
Southwark they faced, yea every man

Ah right well Jubal Early knew,

He knew whose hand had turned the flight,
And struck full in the face his van;
Too well he'd felt in many fight
The strong right arm of Sheridan.
And he who led our legions onward,
And bore their darkened banners sunward,
Notless in peace than war was great
But as he marched an army, ruled State

All his great soul within him burning,
To do the right thing and to do it we'll

time? Was the hdbeas corpus filed by them ?
Was the defendant entitled to issue it
Was his decision in accordance with the
law or not This is the true issue. CAPT
Heydt had them in custody. Judge
Frazier had TO determine between
the men in custody and the man who held
them in custody. He had no feeling in it
at all, or only feeling that he regretted
having to act in a case like it. Judge
Frazier had to determine whether they
were properly held by the Sergeant
on the authority of a resolution of the Lee
gislature They claimed and maintained
that they were not, inasmuch as they were
held by less than quorum Of the Legis-
lature, not entitled to exercise the func-
tions pertaining to the Legislature itself.
Section l46 of article 1st Of the coDstitu-
ton provides that "two-thirds of each
House shall constitute quorum to
do business, but a smaller number may
adjourn from day to day, and may be
authorized by law to compel the attendance
of absent members" What does any man
understand that to mean, without explana-
ton or argument? Unless the Assembly
had passed an act that they might, with a
smaller number than two-thirds, send out
an officer to command the attendance of
absent members, they had no right orpower
to enforce the attendance of absentees. As
it stood, they had no power to do any
thing except adjourn from day to
day. The gentlemen on the other
side very coolly and confidently as
sumo a certain state of things to
exist, and then proceed on that as
sumption. They say the Legislature had
the power to do so and 50. But what is the
Legislature? 1t requires two-thirds TO
constitute a quorum in either House, and
less than that number can perform none of
the functions of Legislature except adj
iourn from day to day. If less than two
thirds can do more than that, they can do
anything else.
The court then adjourned to 9 o'clock to-
morrow morning, when Judge Brien will
continue his argument.

Indian Outrages In Montana Terri
fOrV.


ST. LOUIS, May 29.-The Helena Mon
tana) Herald, of the I'd inst, says there is
great excitement in that Territory in con-
sequence of Indian outrages. A war meet
ing had been called by the Governor at
Virginia City, the plan of operations an
nounced, and volunteers, donations OF
arms, ammunition, horses, etc, called for.
Several companies were enrolled and or
ganized within six hours, and the forces
already mustered were to leave imme-
diately, under immediate command of
Col Thornaugmar, although accompanied
by Gen. Meagher himself, for the scene OF
the disturbance Gov. Meagher issued a
proclamation summoning six hundred
mounted men into instant service, assuring
them they shall be at full liberty to appro-
pirate and hold whatever horses, arms, and
everything in the way Of spoils they may
capture. He says the Federal government
has thrown him upon his own resources
and he will take the responsibility. 1t is
stated that the Sioux Indians not only
planned to attack and devastate the Gala
tin settlements, but they are so powerful in
their new alliances with the mountain
tribes, they assert they will penetrate and
sack and burn both Virginia and Helena
cities.
