He had been complaining Of feeling

How HE KNEW. .--On the overland
train, the other day, a passenger whis.
pered to The conductor, T.bave got a
bottle of splendid whiskey here, which
! should ike you to sample; but l
can't draw u e cork OUT
eDo you want a corkscrew?'
"Yes.n
GAN right l don't drink, but I can
get you a corkscrew."
Turning TO the other passengers he
then asked:
aIs there any gentleman from Cal
ifornia on the train"
"Ycs, sir; I am from California"
"Thank you, sir. Let me have your
corkscrew minute"
And, sure enough, the implement
was handed over, showing that the
conductor had not reckoqed without
his host.

BRIeANDAaE IN SICILY. Letters
from Italy describe brigandage in
Sicily as having assumed dangerous
dimensions. Instead Of bands Of o
dozen llnarmed men being pursued,
as has recently happened in Romagna
and the Marches, by entire divisions
Of the army, well-armed companies
Of brigands seem rather to pursue
the scanty forces which fly before
them. The fields are laid waste, ag-
riculture and commerce are depress-.
ed, and in the most populous towns
robberies and attacks are committed
in broad daylight, while persons
summoned to act as jurors pay the
fine for contumacy rather than ex-
pose themselves TO the vengeance Of
tho Malta. Thirty-fve captured
brigands have been transferred from
Naples to Piacenza and Pesara, and
are about to be tried in the former
town. They were put on their trial
at Palermo for robbing the Monte di
Pieta, and the evidence had been
given and the counsel heard, when
their friends forced their way into
the Court and Induced the majority
of the jury to leave their seats,
whereupon the trial was suspended
Early next morning the prisoners
were escorted by 100 soldiers tosa
ship which conveyed them to Naples.
1t is understood that this dangerous
state Of affairs will be considered at
the first Cabinet Council, and that
suspension Of trial by jury in
Sicily, with concentration Of adj
ministrative powers in the hands Of
the Perfect OF Palerm, is likely to be
adopted.

JAS. GORDON BENNETT. "A letter
of the 9th inst, from Steuben, Maine,
to Boston Globe, says: "Strolling into
the town clerks office, tho other day /,
| was shown q receipt given by the
late James Gordon Bennett, founder
of the New York Herald The re-
ceipt given in acknowledgment of
having received the sum OF $l8.70
for two and a half months teaching
in 1916. Mr.. Bennett passed through
Steuben when on his way from Hall
fax to Boston, and, on arriving here,
being hard up, he taught the village
school. Bennett showed a great
deal Of theological lore, and held n
strong argument with the cid ortbo-
dox deaconsa of the town He also
evinced great proficiency in teaching,
He suddenly left town one night. 1t
was afterwards ascertained that he
had taken passage on board q vessel
for Boston. The next thing heard
from Bennett was in the shape Of the
New York Herald, copies of which
paper have ever since been taken in
this town, more because the people
respected Benefits friendship than
on account Of any love they bore to-
ward the paper"

THE heretofore modest town of
Pittsburg Pa, is putting on ambitious
airs. Pittsburg is trying to rival
Brooklyn, and has started an ecclesias-
tical scandal OF its own, which the
Leader yentilates in the following
braggadocio Style.
Il would seem to be the regular
thing for alleged reverend seducers
nowadays to get ''letters of exculpa-
tom from tho alleged victims. Beech
er's letter from Mrs. Tilton, which
Moulton got back from him with q
pistol, appears TO be the model and
type of all tho rest. In the Zion
Church case Of this city-which by the
way is ludiorous copy of the Beech
er case to even the minutest details,
bedroom scene, drawing room scene,
mutual friend, and all-the reverend
accused produces n letter Of retrac-
ton from the girl, though she says
that the letter is a forgery. In the
Glcndenning case, Jersey City, the
girl dying states that her reverend de-
stroyer came to her and pointing q
pistol at her, compelled her to write
an exculpation Of himself from all
criminalty; which letter he is said to
rely on as bis principal defense
This kind of exculpation has recent

The TRUE INDIAN PoIIcY. The true
way for the Government to deal with
these savages of the plains is by the
army. The army, in fact, is depend
ed upon to manage them in every
emergency, and it alone stands be.
tween the frontier and the settlers
and devastation and death. But
whenever the Indians have enough Of
war they surrender and make their
own terms. They demand the pro-
lection of peace commissioners and
agents, and live on the rations and
the bounty of the Government. AS
the army is, in fact, responsible for
the Indians in time Of war, we think
it should have the full control of
them in peace. 1t could then main
tain by its moral influence the peace
it has annually to enforce by arms,
instead of seeing all the good it has
accomplished undone by divided
rule. The army is the only power
the Indians know and respect, and
it ought to have full control Of them,
and be held responsible for the re-
suit. This is General Sherman's idea
of the true Indian policy, and the
sooner the country adopts it the bet
ter will it be for both the Indians
and the whites.

NbH CANi4As'hANps
| stood upon the corner of Sixth
and Chestnut streets just as the news
was placed upon the Public Ledger
bulletin board; a great crowd imme-
diately assembled. and l would be
derelict in my duty as a correspond
ent were I to fail in stating how that
news was regarded by those present.
One gentleman prominent business
man remarked: q few more such
cases of bloodshed down South and
the imperative necessity for q third
term for Grant will become so APP
parent that he will be without an OPP
posing candidate.
Another gentleman equally as
prominent and influential and even
more earnest in his manner, observ-
ed: the interference by the President
in the Gubernatorial contest in Lou
isiana which displaced McEnery to
make room for Kellogg has brought
about a wide spread tragedy; this
thing will go on-aS it is evidently
intended it shall-until military gov
ernment becomes the only protection
for life and property and the military
rule that will maintain order in the
South will make Grant again Presi-
dent and to which there must be sub
mission Or revolution throughout the
nation.
The E'oentng Telegqph (Rep.)
holds Attorney General Williams and
Congress responsible, while it re-
CARDS Kellogg as an usurper who
brings disgrace upon his party and
disaster upon the community upon
which he has fastened himself; it
deprecates the action Of the citizens
which, it fears, will be regarded by
the North only as rebels against the
re-organized.S State Government and
against the United States, and af-
fording a proper pretext for Federal
interference.
The Public Ledg6r, published by
Geo. W. Childs who is a warm per-
sonal friend Of the President regards
it as deplorable because the execu-
tive power Of the United States may
have to be used in support Of a State
Government which there is ample
reason TO believe was never elected.

WHAT PATRONS HAVE DONE.

Let us see. Some months ago,
twenty or thirty plow manufacturers
in the North and West took up the
erroneous idea that the Patrons were
leagued together for the express pur-
pose of iniuring their business, and
as retaliatory measure, they refused
to sell or to have any direct dealings
with the Oranges. The result was
as might be expected; the Grangers
were driven to the necessity of estab-
fishing their own plow factories, and
now plows that formerly cost $13
can be had for $3.50. The principle
extended to other agricultural and
household implements, effecting a
like reduction, viz:
flaming Mills from .S 35 to s II
Cultivators from, ..,... 36 to IS
Wheat Drills from ,,,... 60 to SO
Wagons from. ....... 100 to Ga
Threshers from, ...... 700 to $50
Sewing Machinesf from. rs to 81
But the greatest single achieve
ment was in the purchase Of the
patent Of the Warner Harvester by
the Iowa State Grange. The enter
prise was met with obloquy by the
manufacturers, and predictions of in
glorious failure were numerous; but
the result has at once demonstrated
such auguries fallacious, and justified
the undertaking. That useful i'm
plement which formerly sold for $500
is now furnished for S140.
In following up the policy of self
reliance forced upon them by the
mistaken views Of outside mechan-
ical and other corporations, the order
has become proprietors Of the fol-
lowing items.

ST. MARIE

The reward of S25, 900 offered by
the United States for the capture Of
John II. Surratt was sufficiently large
to tempt Henry Benjamin St. Marie
TO disclose the whereabouts Of his
friend Surratt. St. Marie died in
this city few days ago, as poor as a
toothless horse fed on chaf, and as
friendless as a NANCY cur, covered
with feas. The Government paid
st. Marie only $4,000 Of the pledged
reward, thus leaving a nice nest egg
in the Treasury for the human
sharks, labelled claim agents, that
swarm around Washington as thick
as green Aies around q dead monkey

THE WEATHER.

1T last we have the pleasure of %announc-
ing a tine rainfall, and that too In the
midst OF what has always been considered
the dry season. The general appearances
for rain of which we had spoken in a form
er issue did indeed continue, but only
slight scuds had hitherto fallen-of great
benefit to the new plants but not calcu-
lated to exert any great influence on the
present crop. Wednesday and Thursday
the wind was southerly and the weather
was 'uncommonly warm and sultry for the
season, and Thursday night especially re-
sembIed more a night in August or Sep
TENDER than one in February. A little
after midnight we had a few claps of
thunder and q fine soaking rain began,
which lasted, with short intervals, till 8
o'clock a. m. The fall of rain up to that
time was indeed only IA lines at Christian
v@rnsiort, but as it appears to have been
nearly general, and, as far as we have learnt,
even better q down the country" there is
no doubt that it will materially help the
present crop in many places of the island
where it still retains a green and pronis-
ing appearance. Indeed, it is the opinion
of experienced planters that 3 to 4 such
soakers in such localities would double
their crop. At the moment we write, the
sun is again shining in all his glory but
there are indications, 1--WE hope they will not
faiD that more rain is coming. Of this
last rain not so much was wasted as would
have been, had the fall been less gradual,
as is usually the case here. The question,
what can be done to keep more Of the
precious element in store for purposes of
irrigation, is one of great economical
Importance and eminently worthy of being
discussed in the Avis. Where is the man
