Dealing With Indians.

After several months of fighting, seeing
the h6pelessness of the contest, he came
in and delivered himself up. The
officer to whom he surrendered was Cap.
tain Dent, of the Ninth Infantry, the
brother in law of President Grant.
General Wright, who commanded the
troops then in the field, as soon as the
fact of the capture of Ouhi was an
nouncsd to him, directed the prisoner
to be brought before him. He then
said
You have seen the sun for the last
time. am going to hang you. Not
that you have fought against us in
battle, but because before the war
broke out you murdered Indian Agent
Bolen. He was your friend but you
followed him from the Yakima Agency
on his journey to the Dalles, and when
at noon he was resting, you and two
other Indians killed him, and yet the
moment before you had been smoking
with him. This was not war-it was
the act of dog, and you shall die a
dogs death. Captain Dent, as Officer
Of the Day, you will detail a Sergeant

About Boots.

A man who draws the prize of squeak
ing boots from shoe store always gets
them on Saturday, and by the next day
oped. He arrives at church at the
opening of long prayer, and is admit
ted by the sexton with adnonitory ges-
lures of silence. The frs, step inside
the door is followed by a sound like
that of ripping a clapboald from the
side of barn, while all the ladies' on
the right side of the aisle tip their top
knots to one side and squint from their
left eyes, those on the other side re-
versing the order. Balancing painfully
on his worst corn, he makes a more
gradual effort and is rewarded by hear
ing the same harmonic reverberance
like linked sweetness--long drawn ont.
Then he tries to navigate on the balls
of his feet, and waddles along on his
heels. He clutches conyulsively ut the
sides OF the pews to tighten his weight,
knocks down a woman's parasol, and
gets all the deacons to raising their bald
heads and the skin across their fore
heads, and scowline as they do the rest
of the week. So he determines to mince
the matter no more, and trots along
fast, jerking out spasmodic "shrieks Of
a sole that's damned" with regulari-
ty that he never could attain at any
thing else, and reaches his pew with all
his under garments turned to porous
plasters, and his face of color to
match the saint done in red glass in the
principal window.-1itusuitie Herald.

The mound was about thirty feet il

the rim lines running up and down
diagonally, with short parallel lines
filling the spaces, and four knobs at
equal distance around two of them with
an opening adapted TO thong or
string for carrying; the bowl is marked
or, rather, scratched over with finer
lines. They are made of clay mixed
with sand, evidently kiln-baked, per-
fectly smooth inside, and are of the
uniform thickness of one inch. In one
of them was found shell, or rather
what was once n shell, for it went into
dust at the touch. The implements of
war which were got ont whole were
a stone tomahawk, an arrow head, and
a large boulder with groove round

pieces were too much broken to put

same in general shape and design as
have been found in South America, in
the Southern States of our country, and
throughout the Mississippi Valley--rec-
ords of a race long extinct, a people
without name, who left no history, nor

Temperature at Great Depths.

A deep bore of course affords the best

world, that completed within the past
six months through the rock salt forma-

with suitable appliances gave presum-
ably correct data as to the temperature

American Fancy Marbles.

Some two years ago there was discov-
cred on the shores of Lake Champlain,
Vermont, by Mr.. Hanson, of Philadel-
phia, a rich and valuable deposit of
beautiful van rated marble. 1t varies
from deepl to q pale chocolate col
or. richly marbled and grained. 1t is
very hard and well adapted for making
columns and ornamental work, such as
pier or centre tables, panelings, fancy
wainscoting, and cabinet purposes gen
orally. When polished it is not easily
defaced. The deposit is found in beds,
or strata, varying in thickness from one
to six feet. In the report of the geolog-
ical survey of the State of Vermont it is
said that the marble is found to be
principally composed of fragments of
stratified rock varying in size from a
barleycom to blocks foot or more in
diameter, which appear to have been
promiscuously piled together, after
which they are cemented with sub
stance having much more lime in its
composition than the fragments them
selves. This cement has lighter color
than the other portions of the mass,
which gives it the beautiful starry and
variegated appearance observable in the
mosaic marble, making it equal in beau
ty to the artificial mosaic work of Her
culaneum and Ponpeii.
In the new J 'xel Building, corner of
Wall and E. ~ streets, New York city,
these marbles are used in paneling and
wainscoting of the interior, with admir-
able effect. The contrasts in colors are
very beautiful, but the Lake Champlain
marble at once commands attention
wherever it is encountered.
