SCHRNcK ON GRANT.-The man who, Of all
others. seems most disgusted at the new regime
is General Schenck. His initial grumbe was
delivered on Friday, when he, as one of the CON-
mittee sppoipted BY Congress, waited on the new
president IN the customary way 10 inquire II he
had any communications 10 make to the two
Houses. Tie committee found Grant in his office,
informed him Of their mission. and were told 10
reply by the great Ulysses that he had sent his
chief-of staff to the Senate with a message"
1hereupon the Congressman took their leave po
litely and rode back TO the Capitol. On the way,
schenck broke an ominous silence to inquire
what IN the hell the president of the United
States had to do with chief ofstaff,n aud all the
committee joined in the belief that ii tcds little
singular, but that perhaps Grant had used the ex
preston more from past haoit than future design.
! see by to-day's papers. however. that he still
adheres TO the military way of doing things; for

nication to the treasury department signed, By

PRIZE FIeHrrNa F1RENEN.-The San
Francisco Chronicle of Thursday last relates
the following;
Among the Exempt Firemen, who went
on picnic Tuesday, were couple Of indi-
viduals who got into dispute and hoht
about fair dair sci, but were separated be-
fore there was anv mischief done. This
was not at all satisfactory to either party,
aud they and large number of the lovers Of
the manly art adjourned to locality some
distance from the grounds. A ring was
formed, time-keeper, referee and spongers
were chosen, and the combatants, stripped to
the waist, stepped into the ring. Just then
Captain Kentzel Of the harbor police, fol-
lowed BY constellation Of STARS" ap-
peared upon the scene. He is a man weigh
ing nearly three hundred pounds, and is near
ly as broad as he is lone, but nevertheless
he was the first to reach the contemplated
scene of blood. The parties were "spiliDg
for fight " and did not seem disposed to
obey the Captain. Officer Jones, who is just
about half the Captains size, used strategy,
and made move that an older officer would
hardly have thought of. He produced .
sham warrant from his pocket and arrested
the whole crowd. This had the desired ef- |
feet, and the fighters pulled up stakes and
to the picnic party without knock
DOWN. The exempts seemed eontented, but
IN the way home several free fights were in
1alged in but no one was seriously injured.

FAMILY FUED AMONG WHITE PIN1

FAMILY FUED AMONG WHITE PIHn
IND1ANs.-The White Pine News Of the
Doth inst. relates the following:
We understand that grand battle took
place yesterday between two large bands Of
the Shoshone tribe, beginning at Fairchild's
lumber yard, between this city and Hamil-
ton, and extending nearlv down to Sherman
town, about two miles. 1t appears that the
party living about Hamilton kidnapped
dusky maiden from the noble red men who
live in the valley below Eberhardt City,
whereupon the latter came up, recaptured
the damsel and started home with her, and
when passing Gels & Rice toll road were
ovetaken and attacked by the Hamiltonians.
TIL weapons used were clubs and chloride,
and the conflict ragged with great fury for
several hours, nearly two hundred warriors
being engaged, and finally resulted in a
drawnbattle-the valley Indians retreating in
good order with the "spoils," j. e. the
maiden. No bones broken, nobody killed
or injured.

DoEsIr PAY TO BUILD LOCOMOTIVES =
One is led to ask this question npon reading
the following;
The locomotive and machine works of Nc
Kay & Aldus, in Boston, are offered for sale
bv the assignees. The price is limited at
$3.50, 900, sealed proposals to be sent to the
assignees. If not sold, the works are to be
broken up. The Boston Traveller mentions,
as singular coincidence, that there are
three other locomotive works in bankruptcy
offered upon similar terms-one in Jersey

500, 900; and one in Lancaster (Pen),

the extraordinary performances of the
tobacco ehswers alluded to in the fol-
lswing:
CHICAGO, May 9th.
The troubles on the Cherokee neutral
lands in Kansas have been brewing for q
long time. Several me, -ings have been held,
at which the most violent spirit was manifes-
ted. Senator Ross, at Port Scott, recently
attempted to add ess one Of these meetings,
but he was pelted with tobacco guilds. sticks,
and stones, and finally fred on and driven
awvy. The excitement eliminated on
Thursday, when the engineers were met
seven miles south of Girard by band Of
thirty-fv armed men, who made the whole
party prisoners, searched them, took pos
session of their outfit, set the camp afre, so
that notebooks and other valuable property
were destroyed. All the engineers were
driven afoot northward over the prairie, and
warned never to return on paio of death.
Colonel Chapman Chief Engineer. and
Runk, in charge Of the party. were held
some time as prisoners, but finally released
with the same violent threats. The work Of
on the already surveyed por-
ton Of the road has not been disturbed
since 1868. Men were AZ work on Thurs |
