outwardly more correct, and the world has still
too much sap in it TO make good fuel for the
fires of hell. But the evil is noisome and
hateful one all the same and it is every mans
duty TO do what he can to abolish it. If every
gentleman and gentlewoman in New York, who
hates vice, would to-day resolve to treat its
highest manifestations with intolerance,
great step would be taken toward the purifica-
ton of morals.

Some curious and interesting particulars of
the affair of NJ Ranc are furnished in Paris
letter which we print to-day. 1t will be seen
that the MacMahon Government has formula
bic fight before it in the prosecution of the
offending Deputy. In fact this presentation
of the case leaves the Government in such
a position that it is difficult to say whether a
conviction or an acquittal were more to be
desired.

Citizens of California, instead of going to FASH
ionable watering-places, occasionally spend their
Summers in camping out among the hills Here,
beside the delicious air aud the charms of nature,
they are sometimes RECALLED by the select society Of
bears This was the case not long ago, at the mouth
of the Matilaha Canon, where gentleman, his in
Valid wife, spd little daughter were quietly sleeping
in a tent. Tue growing of real grizzly was the
tocsin which awoke them. Mr.. McCarty, Mrs.
McCarty aud the little McCarty all Immediately
skipped UP tree without waiting to make their
visitors personal acquaintance. In this pleasant
haven they stayed for three hours, when the bear,
naturally dspleased at such an inhospitsbe recep-
ton, retired in dudgeon.

We mist imagine that Gen. Davis takes up
the military trial OF Captain Jack and his con-
federates with considerable reluctance. He
had his juniper gallows ready, and had read
TO the Indian captives document which was
at once Indictment argument, verdict ana
sentence but, before the sullen savages could
be hanged, the proceedings were stopped by an
order from Washington based on the opinion
of the Attorney General that the Indians had
been guilty of an infractiOn OF the laws OF
war, and should, therefore, be tried by NIL
itary court. Accordingly, we find that Captain
Jack and four of his comrades have been duly
brought before the Military Commission at
Fort Klamath and are now on trial on charge
of having violated the laws of war In COM
hitting murder under flag of truce. There
is general opinion that these defendants are
hardly amenable to military law; they neither
belong to an independent nationality that they
should be treated as alien enemies, nor have they
been so far incorporated into our pohtlcai
system that they should be considered rebels
against the Government when they refuse TO
go to their reservation and stay there. How
ever, as long as some form of law should be
observed in the preliminary proceedings, prob
ably the people of the United States will be
Just as well pleased that it should be accord
ing to a military code as any other. Captain
Jack and his friends, we presume, do not have
any preference in the matter. 1t is not exactly
true that No rogue eer felt the halter draw
With good opinion of the law. In this case,
certainly, the doomed men have no opinion
whatever of the law which has its halter made
ready for them.

Any doubts as TO the ultimate fate of the
wrecked steamship City of Washington and
cargo may be considered at an end. The ship
broke up yesterday, and the cargo drifted out
70 sea. Meanwhile we have no satisfactory
answer to the queries which everybody must
ask, Where did the sailing officers think
their vessel was before striking What
was the excuse of the apparent
discrepancy in their calculations I Had
the lead been used. at all that dayf
What was the speed Of the ship when she
went ashore AS court of inquiry has been
ordered by the Canadian authorities, we shall
probably get at all the facts in due time.
That we are to escape general war with
the Ute Indians seems to be due to their
moderation, not to our good behavior. A
party of whites, hearing a vague rumor that
number of Utes had stolen some property near
Rawlins, swooped down upon the defenseless
rancheria, slew dozen OF so OF the Indians,
and rode bravely away with much plumber.
The Utes say they will not 60 on the war
path; but they ask that the perpetrators of
the outrage be punished. Shall we be outdOne
in Justice and msgnanimity by these savagesf
A committee Of investigation has been ap-
nointed; but, unless the settlers of the region
heartily cooperate with the Commissioners and
bring the criminals to the bar, it is very likely
that We shall bepg these same meD, next year.

One of the constantly recurring features lof the
literature of England it is of the life of England
is shooting. Novels and newspapers and magazines
have been full of pictures and suggestions of
the moors that outsiders have to consider the
use Of the gun the chief occupation Of the English
gentleman. Yet one is not quite prepared to have
Mr. Ruskin say as he does that he believes solemny

No result has yet been reached on the
Mayors nominations for Police Justices now
pending in the Board of Aldermen. We else
where give such current opinions as may be
supposed to bear upon the subject; but it will
be seen that the future proceedings OF the
Board are shrouded in mystery, and 1T Is dlt-
fcult to guess whether any steps to compel lts
members to attend to their duty will really
be taken. The impression that the Aldermen
who steadily vote against any consideration Oh
the nominations are acting in the interest OF
the present incumbents is natural one, ana
is gaining ground. If the majority desire to
strengthen that belief they will continue to
decline action without reasonable excuse.
IF the Dutch persist in their purpose of sub
iecting the Atcheenese they are likely TO come
in conflict with new enemy. We are In
formed by telegraph that eight Turkish
war vessels are to depart for Sumatra TO
protect Turkish interests. Those interests
are of a most indefinite character, and were
never presumed to exist before the Atcheen-
ese were menaced by the Dutch. q The At
cheenese made an ingenious effort to trlghten
off the enemy by asserting state OF Vassal-
age to the Turkish Sultan, based on the
fact that the latter was entitled to be their
suzerain because he was the head OF the
Muslin faith, which they protested. Inc
Government at ConstantinOple seems disposed
to avail itself of this fiction and extend lts
protection to the barbarous islanders III
further complications should arise out OF TINS
affair another evidence will be given OF the
disadvantage of the irregular proceedings Oh
the Dutch.

The CoffeyviIle Kansas newspaper The Courier
recommends itself after this fashion: The Courier
Is printed nearer the scene of the late Bender horror
than any other newspaper. Those wisIing to sub

editor expects what reporters call, in the largest
letters, An Epidemic of Homicide" and we are nor
sure that no may not be enterprising enough to
indulge himself in two or three good, square
murders, just TO sell his Courier. The authorities

Serious Accident.

We learn that u man named
Baum, who lives somewhere near
the head Of Carson's Lake, met
with a very painful and serious ac-
cident on Friday 4 week ago. We
are informed by DR.. Dawes, the at
tcndant surgeon, that Baum had
been deer hunting and had killed q
fine buck, which he slung across
the pummel of the saddle. The mo-
ton Of the horse soon destroyed
the equilibrium, and to restore it
Baum stopped his nag, and steady
ing his gun on the ground with the
muzzle leaning against his knee,
moved the deer so that it lay to
suit him. When he was ready to
start he seized his gun by the muz-
zle, and carclcssly lifted it upward.
The hammer caught either on the
stirrup or on the deer, and both
barrels were discharged, the entire
load of buck-shot going through
Baum's right hand and arm shatter-
ing it in the most terrible manner.
DIR. Davies has some hopes of saw
ing a portion of the hand, but the
chances are he thinks very slim.
The well known skill OF the Doctor
in gun-shot wounds is guarantee
that all that can be will be done for
the sufferer.

Shooting ARRAY,

1t is our painful duty to record
another fatal shooting aflray in our
midst. The parties concerned in
this unfortunate affair being Mr.. A..
b. Young, life long resident, and
Mr.. Charles Williams, a tenant on
the formers plantation. 1t appears
that these two gentlemen had n
misunderstanding some time since
while attempting to effect business
settlement, and bad blood has exist
cd between them ever since. On
the night Of the 10Th, Mr.. Williams
while under the influence of liquor,
went TO Mr.. Young's front gate,
called him out and used very insult
ing and threatening language to-
wards him; and still later during
the same night three shots were
fred at his house from the direction
of Williams house, one shot strik-
ing the stairway in the passage.
Last Sunday night about II o'clock,
some person again came to Mr..
Young's house, and ON his proceed
ing to the window to ascertain the
cause of the unusual noise was fired
at through the window, barely es-
Gaping a ball that came crashing
through the house; he returned the
fire, but without apparent effect.
The next morning, Mr.. Williams
coming into his yard, CHE same man
he says he had recognized at the
window the night prcvious,) he at
tackled him with shotgun, that
missing fire, he drew his Navy and
fired four shot at Williams, who was
in the meantime beating a has
ty retreat, all of.which took effect,
killing him almost instantly.
As the case is under judicial aa-
viscment, we refrain from making
any comments, feeling assured that
the case will be fully investigated
and Justice done. We will await
further developments which our
readers may expect in our next
issup.

Fcte Champetre at Sans SouCi,

One Of the pleasantest affairs that
it has been our good fortune to at
tend in many day came of last
Thursday afternoon and night at
Sans Souci, the beautiful homo Of
Capt. w. A. Erwin, some four miles
below town on The river road. The
Entertainment consisted Of a GRO
quett party and picnic in the park,
during the afternoon, and dance
at the residence at night, the whole
being a fete given by Mrs. Erwin to
her neices, the charming Misses
Ida and Helen Moore, and her
daughter Miss Sue McGavock. The
attendance consisted Of Osceola en-
masse, bellies and beaux, young and
old, in fact everybody who could
get q conveyance ofany description,
and merricr party, or one that
seemed to enjoy itself more, we
never saw. The croquett grounds
were we'll chosen, on piece of
beautiful sward, under the umbra-
geous canopy of immense forrest
trees covered with trailing vines,
whose foliage was so dense that
even the furious sun Of July in our
latitude cannot pierce their shade.
During the earlier portion Of the af-
tcrnoon, dark clouds gathered por-
tentiously around the horizon, and
we believe that few drops Of rain
even fell but the clerk Of the wealth
er was propitiatcd in some way,
and the evening was all that could
be desired. Croquett being q new
game TO most ofthose present, con.
siderable interest was excited in the
opening game which was played,
we understand mot having been
present at that time) between the
young ladies Of Sans Souci, and
Messrs. Clapp, Carr, and Picket.
At nightfall the dulcet notes of"the
Sutton" fiddles broke up croquett,
and invited the pic-nieors to the
dance. Sets were formed in the
cool and spacious hall of the resi-
dence and with but slight intermis-
sion dancing was kept up all night.
With the approaching dawn the
merry party broke up and wended
their several ways homeward, wea-
ry with dancing, but with mind and
hearts full of the pleasant hours that
they had whiled away at Sans Soucl.
We learn that the young ladies'
Misses Ida and Helen Moore, will
leave Sans Souci next week to be
absent the balance of the summer
The very best wishes OF everybody
in Osccola and vicinity will accom-
pany them on their ramblcs, and
we are certain that wherever they
may go, surrounded though they
be with gallants and admirers, they
will never find a spot where they
are more highly appreciated, Oh
more ardently admired than here
at home.

THERE is great deal Of sickness
in the lower part of the county, and
the doctors down there are kept
running all the time. Davies, Nc

to be caught at home. Strange TO
say-and we are truly thankful to
chronicle the fact, the health of
this portion of the county was rare

THE latest fashionable amuse-
ment in Osceola is the raising of
mocking-birds. Almost every youth
in town has young one-(mock-
ing-bird we mean. of course), and
spends good portion Of his time
poking hard boiled egg down it
with a stick. And the young
brutes, 1--WE mean the birds yeD,
never know when they have got
enough. Their mouths are always
open, and it requires the greatest
manual dcXtcrity to be able to feed
them without letting stick and all
go down their throats. Mr.. Cham
bers at the clerks Office, has bird
that we are credibly informed
swallowed a stick eighteen inches
long a day or two ago. Luckily
the stick had a knob on the end of
it, and its owner was thus able to
recover it without much difficulty.
