about which he seemed anxious was the
writ Of error. DR.. Kenealy cheered
him by expressing his strong belief that
it would be granted. and that the
house of lords would do him
right. He did not know that
Sir John Karslake had ceased to be
attorney general until he was told; he.
said Sir John would assuredly have
given his fat for the writ. He spoke
with sorrow Of Lord Selborne being
present at the Westminster play,
in which he (Sir Rosers) had been mer-
cilessly rid;cu!ed,an said;twas an indi-
cation Of the feelings Of all the cabinet
against him. He said that Mrs. W.
Hilbert pretended to have high in
auence with --, and complained Of
her conduct. He gave some kind re-
membranes and messages to absent
friends, and hoped the people of Eng
land would not desert his children.
His eyes frightened for, an in

Leicester, were named, but his general
bearing was that of man already dead

several of the jury, who had led him to
believe that they believed to him, and
specially mentioned Turner, the shoe
maker, who. he said, as he passed him
about ten days before the verdict in a
cab with three ladies, took off his hat
and waved it, crying aloud: "Bravo,

did all they could to give him heart,

they left downcast in spirits, deegly af-

From the Indianapolis Sentinel, Sept. 2e.]
Last night frankie Christie began an
engagement at the Metropolitan The
atre as premier dansuese. She will
be remembered as the one who was
married to Pressly Jenkins, the son of
Admiral Jenkins, in July last, and
about whom the Washington reporters
and correspondents wrote so many ac-
counts. Last evening q Sentinel repor-
ter called on her and learned the latest
chapters Of the romance. ssFrankie''
is perfect blonde, about twenty-six or
twenty-seven years Of age, and has a
hne figure. She uses elegant language,
and corverses in a manner which proves
her assertion that she was well edu-
Gated. Her relations live in New York
city, but she has not been to see them
since she entered the profession Of a
dancer. They met first at the
Theatre Comique in Washington. last
March, and were married on July 7th,
IN the same city as she showed BY the
weddng-ring which she wore. The rest
Of her story is given in her own Ian
gaage as nearly as can be remembered:
''Pressly s father heard Of our marriage
. few hours after the ceremony and
came to us. Pressly, in answer to his
fathers demand that he should leave
me, said that he would not do SO. I

the outlook that he had better, bat he
replied that ! was his wife, andRthat his
place was with me. We lived together

How Indians ca tch wild Fowls.

4 number of persons from this city
and Gold Hill are at present in the
mountains hunting and angling. Wild
duck are found in some localities in
abundance, and the trout in the streams
take the hook readily. Wild fowls
have not yet made their appearance in
the market in any quantity, as the most
OF those shot arc kept by the sports
men for their own use. As the season
advances the Indians will take the field
and capture them in great numbers.
They make large swinging nets out Of
strong cord, which they manufacture
from the roots Of fbrous plants. The
bark is stripped off and manipulated
and twisted by the squaws into twine,
which is wound into balls ready for use.
It is then woven into nets, some Of
which are forty feet in length, the in-.
terstices being about two inches square.
These nets are swung between two trees
in some convenient position on
the shore Of q lake or. pond.
Early on cold frosty morn
ing some Of the Indians secrete them
selves ina neighboring thicket, while
others get into boats, and, forming
semi-circle, advance slowly toward a
flock Of ducks, driving them toward
the mouth Of the bayou. They swim
slowly of, hesitating to take fight. be-
mg,. perhaps, partially benumbed by
cold. The circle narrows, ana when
