riot had to be quelled at the point of the bayo-

heads and bloody noses. Among those

THK INDIAN QUESTION il again assuming
Importance. Large bands Of Sioux are oc-
cupying territory in Montana owned by other
tribes, and conflict in that quarter is looked
FOR. Generals Hancock, Sheridan and Sher-
man agree that the government will eventually
be called upon to efectually settle the Indian
question, both in regard TO the relations
existing between hostile tribes as well
as with the whites. The government
troops at present in the Upper Mis-
souri, country are declared to be altogether

SENATOR SCHURz unfoldcd his views on
political topics to the Germans Of Chicago
last evening The Senator is one Of the mos,
progressive Of politicians, aud recognizes the
fact that the present hour brings to view
new order of things, with new problems and
iraught with new dangers and new duties,
which call for corresponding new legislation
He ]. emphatic in his endorsement OF the
new amendments to the constitution,
aud declares civil and political rights
TO be the only theory consistent with the main
tenance Of free government. Mr.. Scburz
strongly favors general amnesty 40 the only
means of quieting the South. A quiet hit is
given the ST. Domingo job, which shows that
the Senator is still ready to battle that infamy
should il again make its appearance before
Congress. Upon all questions of party princi-
Piles he is In full accord with the republicans,
but he is not hampered in his opinions Of right
aud justice by mere party trsmmels, and in
this respect he but represents the German ele-
pspt throughout the couptry.

The Free Methodia also throws a stone at
some other unfortunate Methodist Episcopal
congregation that apparently has allowed
young ladies to sell cigars and papers of
chewing tobacco at one Of lis bazaars Worse
still, people we're encouraged to buy the
noxious weed by statement that the papers
of tobacco contained here and there ten dol
lar greenbsck. This was, of course, species
Of gambling, and we dlsapprove as strongly as
any one of religious lotteries but still we think
the Free Met7tOdSst goes for its brethren with
unnecessary-nay, we might say, with---un-
christian ssperity. ''Thou fool, first pluck
out the beam from thine own eye," &C., &c.
The Church Weekly fires its trsctarlsn guns
this week on the Bishop of Montreal, who, it
charges, has adopted the same crushing ont"
policy towards clergymen who hold what is
termed ''bigh doctrine" ss has been already
ioaugurated in England aud in certain Ameri-
can sees. A case in point is cited, and the
Bishop is twitted with cowardice and injustice
and 10 forth. From recent declarations on
both sides we have no belief in any coming
split in the Episcopal Church on the Rtualism
question, but still there is great deal Of
angry and hard feeling now and then cx-
hibited on both sides, which contains the seeds
of great danger. We ask both parties to
moderate their views, or, at any rate, their
mode of discussing them. Let them remember
that "a house divided against itself cannot
stand"
The Christian Union is pleasant reading,
but 1t just at present seems to give nothing
in the way Of opinion except few brief hits
at Tammany.

The DOWNFALL OF the Chignon i'm
lfermanW Il VI


A charming way to ring out an old
fashion and ring in a new was that
adopted by some young ladies' of Berlin
with reference to the chignon. The
National spirit-.n0w at white heat in
Germany is, if anything, more ardent
among the women than the men, as in
deed it always has been and will be the
world over. So the fair patriots resolve
to reflect more of the German nation
ality in their dress. and abandon and
henceforth ignore French fashions, but
more especially the really odious CHG
non, Accordingly the sixty young ladies,
daughters OF the wealthiest citizens, who
were selected TO welcome the returning
army at the Bradenburg gate had
meeting in which the question of their
attire was settled. It was that Of Mar
garet in Kaulbach's sketch of her first
meeting with I" Faust" which has been
thoroughly identified with the German
maidens in all art, and especially famil-
iarized of late by the "Marguerites of
the stage. Two plaits Of their own hair
hanging down the back was to be indis-
pensable, and they were pledged mutu-
ally and to the municipal authorities on
no account TO use false hair. These
sixty wealthy young ladies' ought GER
tainly to be more than match for one
Empress, and she not so much of an
Empress as she was, and they will re-
ceive the congratulations Of the entire
world il they carry the day against the
false hair. fNdN II

A curious tale, says the Pail Mall Ga
zette Is told concerning the Church OF
'Notre Dame des Victories. Recently it
was visited by citizen Mossou, three
members of the municipality of the
second reimbursement, and two doctors.
Several corpses are said 10 have been
already discovered, and under the altar
Of the Virgin was found an oak coffin,
in which priest was buried. The work
men, as is usual on such occasions,
brought to light several cases of silver
ornaments and other precious objects,
and by the side of one Of the cases was
found the head of woman with long
fair hair. In another vault the bodies
of four women, recently buried, were
discovered, and in a small internal vault
o couple of bracelets were picked mp.
Here citizen Mossou thinks some fearful
crime must have been committed, for on
the wall of the vault was plainly visible
the mark left by jeweled arm, and it is
evident to him that the lady with the
bracelets must have struggled in the
vault, which had been newly painted
when she was confined in it. The church
is reported to have peculiarly cadaver-
Gus smell, and it is expected that citizen
Mossou will make further discoveries.
-Four priests connected with the church
have been arrested. s i.- i.,qlr.'t

cleanse the skin.

1t is a curious fact illustrating the ne
cessity of cleanliness. and of keeping
the pores of the skin open, that il a coat
Of varnish or other substance impervi-
Gus to moisture, be applied to the exteri-
or of the body, death will ensue in about
six hours. The experiment was once
tried on a child at Florence. On the
occasion of Pope Leo the Tenth ascen-
sion to the Papal chair, it was desired
to have a living figure to represent the
Golden Age, and so a child was gilded
all over with varnish and gold leaf.
The child died in a few hours. If the
fur Of rabbit or the skin of pig be
covered with solution of India rubber
in naptha, the animal ceases to breathe
in couple of hours.

The carat is an imaginary weight that
expresses the fneness of gold, or the
proportion of pure gold in mass Of
metal; thus, an ounce Of gold is divided
into twenty-four carats, and gold Of
twenty-five carats fine is gold of which
twenty-five parts out of twenty-four are
pure, the other two parts being silver,
copper or other metal; the weight of
four grains, used by jewellers in weighing
precious stones and pearls, is sometimes
called diamond weight-the carat con-
sisting of four nominal grains, little
lighter than four grains troy, or seventy
four one-sixteenth carat grains being
equal to seventy-two grains troy. The
term or weight carat derives its name
from bean, the fruit of an Abysinian
tree, called kuaro. This bean, from the
time of its being gathered, varies very
little in its weight and seems to have
been, from a very remote period, used
as weight for gold in Africa. In India
also, the bean is used as a weight for
gems and pearls.
