REVERE.

I'm sitting alone at my window,
Ana watching the clouds that fly
Like snow-white doves over the azure
Of the calm, deep, passionless sky.
Could they feel but my hearts full beating,
Could they know how my pulses burn
Their GOODNESS could warm to pity;
They would stay in their fight and turn.
And bring me one sweet, fond message
From my darling over the sea,
And my pulses should still their fever,
Ny heart beat softly and free.
But still as sit at my window
They hover unheeding by.
Their glow is but cast by the sunset.
Their breath but the night-wind's figh. +

The MODOCS
A History Of the Trouble.

The Modoc Indians, tribe of which
but remnant remains, have for years
been a source of uneasiness to the set
tiers in Southern Oregon. Their camp,
before the retreat to the lava beds, was
at the mouth Of Lost River, where it
empties into the Tule or Rhett Lake,
and they got their living bys hunting
and fishing, and ofttimes by stealing from
the settlers when they got good
chance. During last summer the coun-
try about Rhett and Klamath Lakes
and on the banks OF Lost River was
largely settled by people mostly from
the neighborhoad Of Eugene and Jack

RG1DINa ON THE RANCHES.

During the summer of 1872 the Mo
docs, in their camp at the mouth of
Lost river, looked on the immigration
to their neighborhood with good deal
of jealousy. They knew that as the
country filed up they would be com
PEELED to give way, and finally submit
to going on the reservation. In conse-
quence Of this they soon became more
troublesome In their manner toward
the new settlers they were particularly
insolent, generally treating them in 3
manner which implied the most intense
hatred.

AMERICAN DRINKS AT THE VIENNA EXHIBI-
TIoN.-The special correspondent of the Loll-
don Daily Telegraph at Vienna, writing on
August II, after week of very hot weather,
saws: "The American bars, three in mum.
Der, drove a roaring trade. The Austrans
have taken to cobblers and juleps with Il
heartiness bordering on enthusiasm, al
though. these necturian compounds being
somewhat expensive, the native consumer
seldom goes in for a whole drink all to him
self; and there are fewer quainter sights
in the big building, crowded as it is
with extraordinary objects, than three
heayly-bearded and specialized Viennese
sitting round small handicapped table,
on which stands one amber. colored sherry
cobbler, their three straws plunged into its
cool depths, their three heads in close prox-
unity, their powers of suction strained to
top pressure, lest any one OF the three should
get the better of bis colnvestors in the beYer-
age to the extent OF halfa teaspoonful. Under
the influence of this virtuous emulation the
cobbler vanishes like the card of conJuror's
trick after which each competitor lmbibes
huge draught of cold water, for which there
is no charge, and pockets his straw. The
straws are immensely popular here. have
seen persons of both sexes sucking up
beer, coffee, anu pain SOFA through tneln
with an evident sense of exquisite
and refined enjoyment. The bar-keepers
tell me that the Austrian and German ladies
generally carry them away in their hair,
through the frizzy masses Of which they
stick them in the manner of pins. The bar
in the Rotunda started with stock Of $780,
900, but has been obliged to renew its sup.
plies twice since commencing business.
About hundred different descriptions. OF
artful drink are made at this bar; but the
only one that seems to have laid hold of the
Austrian public is the cobbler. Ten cob
blers are drunk for every julep, cocktail,
sling, smash, fix, or champarelo. The
drinking Mosques outside the building
English and Gernan--baye found 1t to their
interest to provide cobblers for their insati-
able customers"
