known as Modocs, which band. including the
prisoners above named, was, at the time here
matter alleged, engaged in open and fragrant

sentativeso of said Modoc band, meet, under a

DOC AND LoGIc.-A fat old gentleman
bitten in the calf of his leg by a
dog. He at once rushed to a magistrate,
and preferred a complaint against a io-
ker in the neighborhood, whom he sup
cur. The following was the defense
offered on the trial by the wag L. By
testimony in favor of the general good
character of my dog, I shall prove that
nothing could make him so forgetful of
his canine dignity as to bite a calf. I'd.
He is blind and cannot see to bite. Sd.
Even if he could see to bite, it would be
utterly impossible for him to go out of
his way to do SO, on account of his severe
lameness. 4th. Granting his eyes and
legs to be good, he has no teeth. 9TH.

daily asked, "What is the aus of the
unparalleled success of VINEGAR BIT
TERs?" Our answer is, that they emove
the cause of disease, apd the patient re-

Give Them Work.

Children enjoy playtime all the more
if they have work to do on occasion. If
you would have your little one inter
ested in home and it's surroundings, and
also have them grow up to love work,
and to depend upon that for their hap
piness, give them a personal interest in
something. One child may have a piece
of ground and be allowed to cultivate
it, appropriating the proceeds as he
pleases. Another may have a few fowls
and be taught to keep an account of
their eggs and the cost of their keeping.
Even in towns, something of this kind
may be planned for each little one,
which will combine profit with pleasure,
and give them habits of industry.

THE FLUTE.-Like many good things,
the flute is a very old instrument. The
Egyptians played upon it more than
four thousand years ago, and the ancient
Greeks, especially the Spartans, loved
its strains. The name flute comes from
the Latin Fut0, a lamprey or kind of
eel inhabiting the waters of Sicily,
whose side is perforated with seven
holes, as the flute was in primitive days.

Foreign
INTELLIGENCE is received of an alarming
state of affairs among the iron mills of En-
gland. The proprietors of the mills at Man.
chester have determined upon a gradual lock-
out, that is, to discharge one-tenth of their
employees every week until all are discharged.
1t is probable that all the workers will strike
when the first installment are discharged, and
there are rumors of other intended move
ments which give the situation a very serious
aspect. The war in Sumatra is developing
into an affair of consequence. The army of
the Hollanders, 10, 900 strong, will be unable,
it is feared, to cope with the Achineese.
The Sultan, who is thus brought into
publicity, is proving himself to be
something more than a savage fool.
-. Geneva, the homo of Calvin and the
refuge of Voltaire, is in luck. The Duke of
Brunswick died recently, leaving all his i'm
mense landed estate to that municipality.
Long famous, the city is now rich. "A report
from the vessel in which Henri Rochefort
was shipped for New Caledonia, says that his
fellow-convicts, considering his course as
reasonable to the cause of the Commune,
made an attempt to lynch him. The officers
of the ship were obliged to assign him quar-
ters apart from and protected against the
Communist exiles.

Falling Leaves.

The dead leaves Of Autumn are falling;
They are faded and withered and torn
They shrink from the world and its tu-
multi,
Like souls that are weary and worn.
Not light wind that weaves through
the branches
But pluoks the scar leaves from the
spray
But tosses, and tosses, and tosses,
And twirls them and whirls them
away.
They have fourished in beauty and
freshness;
They have laughed in The beams OF
the sun;
They have wept when the heavens were
unwindowed;
They have sighed when the darkness
" begun.
Let them fall-it is we'll; let them
perish;
Their youth and their sweetness are
fed;
Never more will they waken in beauty
From the limitless land of the dead.
Mr.. Covill, of Danbury, says look
ing-glass affords q woman marvellous
amount Of comfort and qualification.
He says his wife thinks just as much of
consulting her glass. when she ties on
her apron as when she ties on her bon
net. He says that when there is a knock
ct the door, he goes there at once. but
his wife, on the contrary, calculates
.'Mercy, Joseph, who's that?" and
dashes for the looking-glass the first
thing.

AN ADVANCE IN PORK.

SOMETHING LIKE CORNER IN THE MARKET
INCREASED FOREIGN CONSUMPTION.
For some time past the Produce Exchange,
or at least that portion OF it which deals in provisions
has been very much exercised over the advance in the
price OF pork. It started Ut about cents and ad-
vanced 81 cents per pound or from Sl3 TO SIC 25 per
barrel. The reasons for this advance, Cleaned from
various trustworthy sources in the trade, follows
Last year. William Young & CO. Of Chicago bought up
nearly all pork the market, and the bears" who
had sold heavily for future delivery being unable 20
secure the necessary quantity to hl their contracts
found themselves badly: cornered," and were Obliged
to settle at high figures great quantity Of pork held
by Messrs Young q Co. then has been retained, and
augmented by heavy purchases OF this year
Between $4,000 and 10000 bbs of last years production
are held in this city by southst house for the account
of Young & Co., who are looking for hgher prices.
BY many was expected that this year would witness
great increase in production that OF last year.
Results showed that these expectations not un-
founded for it is estimated that there increase OF
between 10000 and 10000 hogs over the packing Of last
year.
But beyond this the theory Of many Of the dealers
at fault FOR a remarkable demand for army food from
the larger and Weather countries OF Europe
large quantities Of pork TO be converted into bacon and
shipped for foreign consumption, and so, not only
stripped this market OF the actual increase OF pork and
bacon, but deprived 1t OF largo quantity which was
relied upon FOR home consumption.
Messrs. John Young Co. aud their agents hold al
most all the pork in this and other pork centers and t
expected that the community vii be treated to
an exhibition OF that peculiar art Known ";wisting
the bears" Opinions differ TO the extent OF the
short interest, maintaining that Is large, and
others holding an opposite View
It was generally conceded In the greater number OF
that there had been no intention TO make cor
ner but that the price had been naturally advanced by
the OF demand over supply. but that whatever
ehOrt" interest nere in the market would be used
by the "bus to advance the price to the highest poss
bic figure.
one broker, who is acknowledged 10 be authority.
stated that believed that the "street" interest
about 10000 barrels or "a similar figure, and did not
anticipate corner" He said that the scarcity OF pork
owing TO is conversion into bacon TO supply tho
foreign demand.
As at present NewYork is the cheapest pork
ket the country, and instead OF ruling 81 higher here
than in Chicago and Cincinnati the difference being for
cost OF transportation here 1t only rules from 81 to 81
higher In Cincinnati the quotation Tor pork Ia SO Is
per bbl
world were hard pressed for army food at cheap prices
aud found this their best purchasing place.
