An Indian Row.


From the Reese River RereiNe Of
July 18th we clip the following:
There was 4 slight unpleasantness
last evening between n couple of noble
red men OF the Pluto and Shoshone
p]crsuaSions. which came very near
eliminating In a row between the two
tribes. 1t appears that the Piute had
invaded the domestic hearth Of the
Shoshone and taken away the wife OF
his bosom. Thi. breach Of Indian ETH
Quette IA resented BY the Shoshone,
who stole her back again on the first
opportunity which occurred yesterday
afternoon, whereupon Piutus sped him
to Shoshoneus' wick-i.up and attempt
ed to again take her from her liege
lord aud rightful owner. The thing
by this time had become n little
monotonous, and Shoshonecs sought
to welcome Piutes with bloody hands
to a hospitahle grave, so he socked a
knife into his shoulder blade. There
was considerable excitement for a
while In the vicinity OF the two Indian
camps, but it finally simmercd down,
and ut last accounts all was quiet In
Yogo ~ravine, and Will probably re-
main so until tho wounded Piute wins
money enough 10 get his pistol out Of
soak.

Every Republican Convention thu,
far, with a single exception, has had q
plank In its platform OF resolutions,
expressing confidence In President
Grant and satisfaction with the con-
duct Of his administration. The Maine
Republican State Convention, which
met a few weeks since and nom-
mated Nelson Dingle for Governor,
while adopting resolutions protesting
against granting another acre Of pub
lie lands to canal or railroad cor
p%orations, applauding Congress for
ferretlng out corruption. denouncing
Credit Mobilier transactions and the
back-pay grab bill as d~isgraceful to
Congress, and demanding Its lmme-
date and unconditional repeal, pre-
served an omiuous silence respecting
the President aud his Administration.
II Is rumore1 that President Grant Is a
candidate for a third election. 1t Is
also said that a prominent Maine Con-
gresham, now Speaker Of the House
OF Representatives. has similar aspira-
tons. Wonder il Blaine, of Maine,
had any hand In framing the Republic
can platform In that State Convention?
And II so. why?

LABOR REFORMS.

The Industrial Congress, In session
at Cleveland, Ohio, concluded their
business yesterday BY adopting a re-
port of the National Labor Associa-
tions' Committee, and adjourned to
meet In Rochester, n. Y. next April.
The report among other things, while
recognizing the ballot-box to be the
great agency for the redress Of wrongs,
says that the great consideration of the
present is the organization and co-ep-
Grafton Of tho laboring masses. 1t ret.
forth that unless the aggressions Of ag-
gregated wealth are checked. they will
lead to pauperization aud the degrade
ton Of the toillng masses. It demands
from the State and National Govern
Eaent the establishment OF bureaus OF
labor statistics, to arrive at the moral,
educational and financial condition OF
the producing masses; the reservation
OF public lacds for actual settlers, the
adoption Of measures providing for
the health and safety OF those en-.
gagged In manufacturing and mining
pursuits; the substitution OF arbltra.
ton for strikes wherever practicable
the prohibition Of the Importation OF
all servile races; the discountenancing
OF contracting convict labor: making
eight hours per day a days labor, and
providing for a national circulating
medium, based on the faith and re-
sources of the country and Issued
directly to the people. The latter reso-
luton Il evidently aimed at the Ma
tional BauS system. The recommends
lions IN this report will have the
earnest support OF the working people
of america. On this coast the refer
enees to protection for miners and
t9Fpanper labor Importation will strike
responsive chords In the hearts Of Il
working population, and all those who
have the welfare Of the American ~
borer at heart.

from the Record Of July l6.l
Yesterday afternoon Phil. Malloy,
Of Bullionville. stepped into the saloon
Of Thompson s. Guadin. L.acour street.
where several men were sitting at the
time. and after passing a few words
with the barkeeper, drew his revolver
and fired, aiming directly at q swing
Ing lamp. The globe and chimney Of
the lamp were shivered to atoms, and
two balls passed through the ceiling.
No arrest was made at the time. Soon
after. Ma!loy went into q saddler shop
on Main street, and while there fired
his pistol again. Complaint was made
before Justice Stoutenburgh; a war
rant was issued. aud Deputy Sheriff
Hoag made the arrest. The offender
was fined $40 and costs, leaving a bill
Of $50 or Whereabouts. In default OF
payment he was committed to the
County Jail, where he will have an
opportunity of rejecting upon his folly
aud wickednes. Ninety days In a
chain gang would have n salutary
effect upon such fellows.

from motives of delicacy, declined to
prosecute him. There are men In this
town who have no regard whatever for

not scruple to insult or strike a woman.

Scene in A Menarcrle.

A letter from Turin states that scene
Of great excitement was witnessed on
Feb. Z, at the menagerie in the PiaEEi
d'Armi. NJ. Bidel, tanner Of wild
beasts, had been accustomed to collect
lions, lionesses, bears, and hymnas in
the same den with lamb and to make
them caress tho latter without doing II
any injury. On this occasion he had
thrust the head Of the little animal into
the mouth OF the lion, when suddenly
the king Of beasts was seen TO close It's
Jaws, from which blood at once flowed
In abundance. The spectators were in
CONSERVATION and uttered loud cries,
supposing that tho exhibitor himself
would be deyoured the next moment.
Bidel, however, struck the beast smart
blow on the head with his closed hand
and the dead body Of the lamb fell from
It's mouth. Tho lion roare1, but at The
order Of the tanner went Bullenly TO lie
down in a corner Of tho cage. AT thai
moment a lioness rushed on tho exhibit
tor, but fortunately only tore the sleeve
OF his shirt. Bidel then retreated X
another corner and ordered, by a ges
turc, his terrible pupils TO withdraw in
10 another compartment, They al
obcyed, and the man then prohted b,
that moment TO make his escape from
the cage.

A sumptuous Dinner.

A few evenings since there was given
at Dclmonico's by an opulent gentleman
Of New York City dinner which for
originality OF design, tnagnifcence OF
accessories, and perfection Of execution
has never been approached on this con.
tinent, and probably not been equaled,
in modern times, in tile other hem
ispherc. The table was some sixty feet
long by about twenty feet broad. In
the centre was IN oblong basin some
sixteen feet long, eight feet wide, and
two feet deep, filed with water, the
base banked with flowers. Rising above
and covering this at o height OF twelve
feet was delicate wire screen supported
by posts garlanded with flowers, the
posts crowned by bird.cages filed with
songsters. On this fairy little lake
AVIAN two splendid swans, loned for the
occasion by the Brooklyn Park Com
missioners, and tho mammoth birds
glided rs quietly and gracefully over
the miniature ocean us II in their wider
and more accustomed sphere ut home.
At each end Of this fairy expanse were
two golden fountains i've feet high,
whence cherubic figures rained from
their heads tiny Jets Of spray. Flank
ing these on either side wefo stately
golden candelabra radiant with lights,
ind at frequent intervals along the table
were placed many.lightel candelabra o.
silver. The extreme ends Of the table
werc banked with huge notnds Of flow
ers, the rarest and costilieSt, each fin

i've feet wide, and three feet high. The
margin OF the table, in front Of the seat
and plates OF the guestS, was composed
Of q border OF choice flowers, coming L

Wants a Father.

A funny incident occurred in the
United States House between oakes
Ames and Judge Poland. The Judge,
1t will be remembered, was made the
custodian by Kelley Of tie ten shares
Of Credit Mobilier stock which he de-
manded from Ames as his property.
During the investigation Judge Poland
lesposited the stock with the Sergeant
alarms. Lately he approached Ames
and asked him what lie should do with
it. Ames replied that It belonged to
Kelley, and lie had handed 1t over to
him when he demanded II; that Kelley
had handed II over TO Poland, and Il
was immaterial to him what disposition
was made Of IL. "You had better con-
suit Kelley II you are anxious TO get rid
of it" said Ames. There was due on
this stock dividends in securities OF the
Union Pacific Railroad Company worth
about $1,000 which Ames had withheld
subject to the determination Of the Nc
Comb suit. The question Is, what Is 10

A Very Old Church.Bcll.

Everybody who has been to New
York knows the old Middle Dutch
Church, on tho corner OF Nassau and
Liberty streets, which is now used as
the city postoflice. The bell hung in
the tower Of this church for over q
century,
1t was made in Amsterdam in 1871,
the year before that in which George
Washington was bern. That II ante
dates the birth Of Washington does not
impress us SO much as that Col. Abra.
ham de Peyster, a prominent citizen Of
New York, who presented the bell to
the church, was born in 1857. His
older brother, had he been m English
man instead Of o Dutchman, might very
well have seen Charles executed.
Tho bell is thought to be q very
beautiful one. Tradition says that the
citizens Of Amsterdam, previous to its
casting, threw quantities OF silver coin
into the bell metal. From the appear
ance and tone OF the bell, it is not un-
likely that this may be true. Near the
top II is surrounded by n band Of
exquisite scroll.work. In these days
we should think cupids scarcely in place
on church-bell, but on Col de Poy-
ster's gift they are dancing all about,
and playing on harps, drums, flutes,
etc. THE, whole frieze is in high re-
lief, and very delicate and sharp. I'm
mediately below the frieze is the name

IA legacy to the Low Dutch Church
in New York
Early in the Revolutionary War,
when the British converted the Middle
Dutch Church into riding school for
the cavalry, member OF the church,
named oothout, got permission from
Gen. Howe, the Commander.in. Chief
OF the British forces, to remove the
boil. He stored il at his country.seat,
which was on what is now Twenty
third strset. Some years after tho
British had evacuated the city, when
the church had been repaired for wor.
ship, tho bell was restored to its old
place. There II remained until 1s44,
when the church was leased to the
Government for It's present use.
It was then taken to tho church in
Ninth street, and thence to Lafayette
Place church, where 1t was in service
until the spire was removed. It's not
now in use, but next year II will prob
ably find room in tho belfry OF new
church which is building far uptown.

Feats in Journalism.

The French journals, says q foreign
newspaper, have lately been expressing
their astonishmentat tho energy display
ed by English and American journalists.
It appears that very sharp competition
is now going on among the "specials"
with respect to the impending trial Of
Marshal Bazaino. The correspondent Of
an American journal has arranged for
fifteen telegrams, which, though they
need be only ten or dozen words each,
will, provided they are perfectly authen-
tic, be paid for at the rate OF ], 900 francs
GAO each. Other American sorrespon-
dents have actually been telegraphing,
word for word, q translation OF some OF
tho teuiiietons in the Paris journals, al-
though it is difficult to imagine how
there can be any possible advantage In
such an outlay as this.
During the war in Paraguay, q South
American correspondent set up tele-
graph wire for his own Use, SO as to COM
municate the news at the earliest possi-
ble date. Finding, however, that the
ParaguayaA government were beating
him through their own telegraph he
had the audacity to cut their wire.
Stories are told by the same French
writer Of the rivalry between some Of
the English correspondents. DR.. Rus
sci, for instance, accompanied the Ger
man army on its entry into Paris, wrote
on his saddle an account, and sent it off
by special messenger, who galloped to
the first station on the newly.opened
line between Paris and Calais, jumped
up by the side OF the engine driver, who
had q special engine ready, and ratified
off 10 Calais in time 10 catch the mail.
He little knew that he was accompanied
on that journey by the correspondent Of
q rival journal-the Daily Netvs-who,
dressed as q stoker, had no sooner ar.
rived at Calais than, running on board
the steamer, he offered the captain any
amount II he would get up steam at
oncc. The captain complied, and the
pseudo stoker arrived in London Just as
the messenger for the Times landed at
Dover. Again, during tho instruction
at Marseilles, the correspondent Of the
Times, finding tho telegraph cut, hired
a steamer, which took his dispatches to
Malta, and thence they were telegraphed
TO London.
