TERRIBLE CRIME.

A communication from Saquache,
Colorado, states that the bodies of five
men were found on August 18th near
the Lake Fork of Gunison river, in
San Luis Park These bodies prove to
be the remains of party of miners
who started last November from South
ern Utah across the mountains to the
San Juan mines, Colorado, and We're
reported last March, by one eff their
companions named Packer, to have I'M
dergone terrible hardships in the noun
talns, and finally became nearly crazy
from hunger, and chose lots to see who
should be shot to furnish food for the
remainder The story was published
at the time III the territorial and other
papers. 1t now proves that Packer
murdered these men by chopping their
heads with Ratchet, robbed them of
money and other property, and told the
story of cannibalism to hide the crime.
He was arrested, however. and is now
in jail. The names of the party MUIR
dered is Hoel Swan, from Missouri

The Priests Prophecy.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette, speaking of the ruln,of Kyrost,
says: 1.-The great kitchen is still
perfectly preserved, and in it one is
told how the great general of Wallen-
STEMS victory laughed over the astro-
logical predictions of his evangelical
priest. The priest consulted the hor-
oscope, and told Count Ulrich ne
was to die by cold iron. The Count
laughed, and asked him what was to be
the fate of a lamb that was just being
carried by. The Priest ascertained
the hour and day of its birth, again
consulted the horoscope, and told the
Count the lamb would be devoured by
wolf. In order to convince the priest
how fallacious his prophecies were, the
Count ordered his servants on a certain
day te serve the lamb as roast and
invited the clergyman to dine with him.
On the day appointed, as the Count sat
down to dinner with his guests, another
roast was brought in. He inquired
why his orders had not been obeyed
and the lamb served? The cook,
without presentment of the import
ance of his words, innocently answered
he could not roast the lamb, for it had
been carried away by a wolf. When
the Count heard this he TUNED pale and
said, The Lords will be done. ,"

Good Advice .

1t is curious to watch the face OF a
man, who, instead of solid aid which he
is too selfish to offer, gives in abund-
ance "good advice" which costs him
nothing. His expression is grave, and
sometimes IN the case of a good actor
1T seems troubled and slightly flushed
with emotion. He would like you to
believe that all his words gush straight
from his heart and flow impulsively
toward you as a river toward the sea.
His voice is always low, and soft. in
slnuating, confidential, and caressing.
His hands, however, and his eyes are
generally restless and uneasy. He dare
not look at one long in the face, for
fear OF laughing, just as the augurs at
Rome when their chances met; and he
does not know what to do with his
hands, for, like the schoolboy who re-
cites a lesson, he is retailing maxims
which he knows by heart, without feel
ing them, and in such cases it requires
the talent of very good comedian to
suit the action to the word. AS to the
man who receives the "good advice, !"
his countenance depends, he will ac-
cept your counsels with the conviction
that you are good friend to him, and
that you ''mean WE'LL" without being
able to give him any material assist
ance. He will accordingly thank you
for your good advice i'll the embarrass-
ed tone of a man who receives pres
ent with which he does not know what
to do-a cart-load of pebbles, for
instance the pebbles take up a great
deal of room, and are perfectly useless,
but he is afraid to send them back, for
fear of offending You. He keeps them,
therefore, but wishes from the bottom
of his heart that your generosity would
take more serviceable form. If, how
ever, he chances to be skeptic, having
often lavished upon others the spurious
charity which you are bestowing upon
him. it will be very easy to see by his
face what he thinks of your ''good add
vice" Notwithstanding all his desire
to be courteous, he will look exactly
like crossingsweeper to whom you
give a bad penny.

THE BURNING OF GREENVILLE

The following are the particulars of
the destruction of Greenville, Miss.
Sept. 2: The fire, which is supposed
to have been incendiary, originated in
the grocery store of Morgan and Platt,
then crossed Mulberry going east, and
Main street west, destroying the entire
portion of the town from Mulberry
street to the river, embracing nearly all
of the business houses of the place, in
al 70 houses, valued at over a quarter
of million dollars, with about $3.50, 600
insurance, on which the Planters of
Mississippi and the Planters of Mem
phis had large amount. There will
be considerable suffering, as nearly all
provisions in the town were DESTROYED.
The house in which the fire originated
had been previously set on fire four diff
ferent times.

MEASURED IN A THIMBLE.

An open letter to persons contem-
plating an invasion Of the Sioux Irdian
reservation has been published by the
interlor department. 1t recites the
treaty stipulations with the Indians,
and says very clearly that the interior
department has no discretion but to
obey the directions of Congress. All
expeditions to the Black Hills are
therefore forbidden until the country
shall be thrown open to settlement by
Congress. Persons who might other
wise be disappointed by this decision
may find comfort in the statement of
the New York Tribune correspondent
with Gen. Clusters expedition, that the
gold in the Black Hills region can be
measured in a thimble.

London Threatened With an An
Plague.

No little anxiety, says the Pail Mall
Gazette, has been caused in the neigh
| porhood of London during the last few
days by the sudden appearance of myri-
ads OF ants. A vanguard ofthese insects
has even been seen marching over
Waterloo Bridge, and it is impossible
to deny that our position is at the
present moment one of extreme peril.
At any moment the invading army NAV
be upon us, and we shall then be ex-
posed to all the horrors of an ant
plague, Those who are accustomed to
look on the ant as an Industrious but
insignificant creature will probably
smile at the idea of its presence, even
III swarms, being source of serious
inconvenience. Without any wish to
cause an Unnecessary panic, but merely
with the view OF preparing Londoners
for possible contingencies, it may be as
well to call attention to the proceedings
of an army of ants that some years ago
invaded the island of Grenada The
ants on that occasion "desended from
the hills like torrents, and the planta-
lions, as well as every path and road
for miles, were filled with them. Rats,
mice, and reptiles of every kind became
an easy prey to them, and even the
birds, which they attacked whenever
they lighted on the ground in search
of food, were so harrassed as to be at
length unable to resist them. Streams
of water opposed only a temporary OBJ
stacle to their progress the foremost
rushing blindly on certain death and
fresh armies instantly following, till
bank was formed of the carcasses of
those which were drowned sufficient to
dam up the waters and allow the main
body to pass over in safety. Even fire
was tried without effect. When it was
lighted to arrest their route, they
rushed into the blaze in such myriads
as to extinguish it," To such straits
was the unfortunate island reduced by
the ants that a reward of 100000 was
offered, but in vain, for an effectual
means of destroying them and it was
not until hurricane in 1880 came and
blew away and drowned them-doing,
by the way, almost more mischief than
the ants-that Grenada was freed from
these terrible destroyers. Happily, in
London we have the steam roller, which
should be kept ready for immediate
action in the face of the calamity with
which we are now threatened.

Voices Of the Dead.

A few snow-patches OH the mountain side
A few white foam-hakes from the ebbinS tide
A few remembered words Of malice spent
The record of some dead man s ill intent
They cannot hurt us, all their sting is gone,
Their hour of cold and bitterness is done;
Yet deepest SHOWS and fiercest flashing seas
Bring not such cold or bitter thoughts as
these.
A few soiled lilies dropped by childish hands,
A few dried orange-bl blooms from distant lands
A few remembered smiles of some lost friend
Few words of love some dear dead fingers
penned,-
They are not beautiful for love to see,
And deaths pale presence seems i'll them TO Ire;
Yet never living blooms, most fresh and gay
Fill us with thoughts of love SO sweet as they.

A WAR OF RETALIATION

Late London papers contain q Iettcr
from the Marquis Desafraga, Charge
d'Affaires of the Carlists, regarding
the shooting of some Republican prls-
oners in Olot. He says the Republican
soldiers had previously shot and
bayonetted Carlist wounded lying in
the hospitals at Olot. No one regrets
the sanguinary character that the war
is assuming more than his Majesty
Don Carlos, but when our enemy will
not respect ordinary usages of civilized
warfare there are no means left for
