Washington Items.

Secretary Browning is much better,
and his friends expect that he will be
able to resume the duties OF his office
this week.
The President was in receipt ola large
number of visitors Wednesday, including
Congressman Randall Of Pennsylvania,
and several ladies seeking clerkships in
the departments.
Eight hundred tons Of shells have
been returned to Washington to be
emptied and stored, and it is found that
q large proportion Of them are filled only
with sawdust.
The commissioner Of patents has
decided to extend the patent Of Wait &
Burgess for making paper from wood
and vegetable fiber. This decision will
be contested before the courts.
The President is reported to be
anxious to see the department command
ers together at Washington, and it is
thought Gen. Thomas will be called
there before he goes to New Orleans.
The President and Gen. Grantadeny
that there was any elaborate official
correspondence between them relative to
the removal of Gen. Sheridan, though
there is no doubt whatever but General
Grant earnestly advised the President
against that step.
"A special telegram from New Or
leans says that the last official act OF
Gen. Sheridan will be the removal Of
the ex.rebel General Hayes, who is now
sheriff of New Orleans. This will COM
plete the list of the obnoxious rebel
officials in Louisiana.
John Bright has written letter
thanking the managers of the soldiers
orphan home at Washington for an
afghan which once belonged to President
Lincoln. He says in his letter: II have
great satisfaction in reviewing the
course l took in reference to your great
struggle, and often lament that it was
not taken by all"
- The Washington correspondents
have much to say of Gen. Grants cur
failing the expenses of the War Depart
ment. Some fifty clerks are to be dis
missed at once, and large number o
buildings rented by the department are
to be given up. Eight surgeons undel
pay by the Freedmen's Bureau were mus
tered out on Tuesday and rigid econom!
is promised in all directions. The NOR
we have of that the better.

for the exertions of the hands Of Nor,

secured, it is impossible to tell what
might have been the result north.
We do not pretend to perfect accura-
cy in the foregoing, We could not go
into the tigureso losses, and amount Of
insurance in the time remaining before
going to press. The loss is estimated
variously from $4,000 to $4,000
The loss Of goods and personal prop

4 THRILLING NARRATION OF AN INDIAN
MAssAcRE.-A correspondent of the st.
Louis Democrat, writing from Omaha
on the 9Th inst, gives the following
thrilling narrative of man named
William Thompson, who WAS reported
killed at the recent massacre Of railroad
employees at Plum Greek by Indians,
but escaped with the loss Of his scalp,
and was brought to Omaha
He attracted d great deal OF attention
from the very extraordinary fact that
the covering for the head which nature
had 50 kindly endowed him with was
absent. People hOcked from all parts to
view the CORY, CHASTITY badness which
had come upon him so suddenly with
out any pTemOnitOry symptoms. The
poor fellow suffered horribly, If we
might judge by his facial cOntortions.
He seemed weak from loss Of blood, He
had received gaping wound in the
neck, and a, bullet in the right arm. He
was taken to the Hamilton House and
physician was sent for, who attended to
his wounds. In pail Of water was his
scalp, about nine inches in length and
four in width, somewhat resembling 4
drOwnded rat as it flOated, Curled up,
on the water. His statement, which we
have been at some pains to get accurately
is as follows:
About 8 o'clock Tuesday night my
self and five others left Plum Creek
Station and started up the track on a
hand car to hunt up where the break in.
the telegraph was. When we came to
where the break proved to be, we saw
lot Of ties piled on the track, but at the
same moment Indians jumped up from
the grass ali around and fired on US.
We fired two or three shots in return,
and then, as the Indians pressed on us,
we ran away. An Indian on a pony
singled me out, and gallOped up to me.
After coming to within ten feet of me he
fired, the bullet entering my right arm !;
seeing me still run, he dubbed mis- rife
aud knocked me down. He then took
out HIS knife, stabbe7 NE IN the neck,
and then making twtT round his
fingers With NY hair he commeucet
saving and hacking way at my scalp.
Though the pain was awful, and l felt
dizzy and sick, knew enough to keep
quiet.
After what seemed to be half an hour
be gave the last finishing touch to the
scalp on my left temple, and as it still
hung little, he gave it jerk. just
thought then that | could have screamed
my life out l can't describe it to you.

agent, directly on his return from Egypt.
It needs no different culture from that
of other varieties. and IN the South two
crops can be raised in one season on the
same ground. Itgrows in the form of
tree. and thirty four ears have grown up.
on one stalk. and will average from five
