THE INDIANS IN Southwestern
KANSAS. s.--ToPEKA, Kan, October l
Governor Osborne yesterday received
dispatches from Captain Dayton, of Ar
kansas City, commanding the military,
that sixty-fve young Osages, of Big
Hills band, crossed the Arkansas river
below the mouth Of Salt Fork, Friday,
the 18th ult., and crossed the Fort
Still trail on Sunday, the 9th, near
Skeleton Creek, going west probably
bound for the country between Mule
Greek and the supply road, to operate
on the Medicine Lodge settlements.
Adjutant-Gen eneral Morris ordered cour
lers along the line to put the militia
on their guard for the protection of the
border.
General Pope telegraphs to Governor
Osborne that he has had intelligence
OF the same party; that it consists Of
forty-three Indians; and that efforts
are being made to induce them to re-
turn to the reservation.
Captain Collins, Of the militia, dis
covered the dead bodies of the five
Buffalo hunters from Reno, in the
southwestern part of Clark county
They we're all scalped, and their horses
killed. The Indians were pursued
fourteen miles, but owing to the lack
of supplies and ammunition, Captain
Collins did not pursue them further.
The hunters referred to were killed on
the 9th of August last 1t is believed
an alliance is meditated between the
young Osages, and Comanches, who
are known to be in the southern part
of Clark county.

The father Of the great Napoleon
was lawyer in Corsica, and now one
of his descendants has entered the same
profession. In report of case on
trial in the Circuit Court of Howard
county, Nd, last week, the Baltimore
Sun says that fne-looking young man
of grave aspect, with an admirably
formed head, and face full Of intel
lectual expression, rose as one of the
counsel in the case to address the
court. His voice, manner and matter
at once attracted attention. It W.
manifest that he was person of more
than ordinary capacity, and the inquiry
among the audience became general.
"Who is this young man? An an
swer brought forth the fact that the
speaker was Jerome Bonaparte, the
second son of the deceased nephew OF
the great Napoleon, who had been but
recently admitted to the bar, and was
now making his maiden speech as
lawyer. The court gave marked atten.
ton to his argument, and the lawyers
and others present pronounced the eff

SOUTH BEND, Ind. furnishes an IL
lustration of the power Of one poison to
counteract another in the human sys-
tenn A would-be suicide swallowed
between 45 and so grains of opium
and was at the point Of death, when,
as a last resort, two-thirds OF dram of
nux vomica, dissolved in a teaspoon
ful of water, was injected under the
skin over the heart, stomach, spine,
and on each arm above the elbow, and
on the calf Of each leg. The quantity
Of poison administered was sufficient t
to kill we'll man, but in this case its
antagonism to opium made it an agent
Of life, for, in twenty minutes the man
was sit np ia bed, consci,us nd

AN american TYpHOON.-

AN american TYPHooN.-CHARLEs
TON. S. c., Sept. 29'-The most fear
ful gale in his city since 1854 occurred
to-day, beginning about daylight with
;, strong southeast wind, aud increasing
in violence until 9 o'clock, when it
had become hurricane. The tide was
forced up u an unprecedented height,
inundating the entire river front of the
city, damaging the wbarves, and, in
some instances, sweeping away the pier
heads The long stone sea wall, known
as the battery, famous promenade
resort, was laid in ruins, and the pub
lie bathing house was demolished.
The shipping generally escaped seri-
Gus damage. Some small crafts were
wrecked, but large vessels were only
chafed. Throughout the city fences and
outbuildings were destroyed, branches
torn from trees, and during the height
of the storm the air was filled with
states and tin stripped from roofs,
making the sreets impossible. The
massive brick walls of the new theater
which had just been completed with
the exception Of putting ON the roof,
and, from its position in the burnt dis
trict, was exposed to the full force of
the gale, were leveled with the street.
About noon the wind shifted to the
west, moderating the violence of the
sea, and it is hoped that the worst is
over. Two horses are reported swept
away on Sullivan's Island and one life
lost. The inmates of the bathing
house were rescued with the utmost
difficulty. 1t is probable that $3.50,
900 will not repair the damages.

How the meeting of old friends of
bygone days will cause thrill to 90
through person. A thrill went
through us last week when we met
Edward Barber, business man of Mil
waukee. Twenty years ago he was
the railroad agent at Whitewater, and
We used to snoop around the depot.
In those days hogsheads Of sugar
were allowed to remain on the platform
outside, and with piece of shingle in
the bunghole of hogshead boy could
pull out enough to give him the pan
tod for a month. AS we shook hands
with Barber thrill went up US, COM
mencing about one chain and two links
above our feet, and ending on top of
our head, as We remembered how affec-
tionaiely he used to kick us off the steps,
We suppose he doesn't remember the
time Gus Scoville put two bricks in the
elbow of his pants, aud then got caught
Barber to kick him. Even vel IN a""iih,esd fhosdd
early days railroads were the same
soulless monoplies that they are now
They objected having their sugar stole.
and kicked against the Potter-law us
boys passed, just the same as they do
now, at the one the men played on them
last winter. There is good deal of
the old fashioned bunghole and shingle

Ex-GoVERNoR SEYMOUR ON BUT
TER AND CHEEsE.-At the Northern
Wisconsin Fair, at Oshkosh, hx-Gov-
ernor seymour, of New York, made a
short address on the manufacture of
butter and cheese. He said Central
New York has one-third of the number
of cheese factories in the United States,
and the quality is such that the cheese
excels that made in the best part of
England. The farmers in this country
have Cheese Exchange, where, every
morning, they receive by cable quota
tons of cheese in London. The farm
ers there take the London quotations
and the rate of freight, and fix their
prices accordingly, thus preventing any
interposition of middlemen, and solving
the vexed question Of transportation.
The manufacture of cheese has become
so important that factories are as close
together as schoolhouses, and, cheese
being sold at four every week, the COM
petition is great, and poor grade is
soon discovered. To keep the dairy
clean and in good order, and maintain
a high grade of milk, butter and cheese
is the highest ambition of the farmer.

TT EplroRs DEMocRAr.-In yous

port signed BY H. D. Clark, formerly
Of Buckhannon, but now by tho grace
Of God Principal Of the high school at
Weston. In tho report tue statement
occurs that "one gentleman in par.ic.
ular might add much to the truth Of
tho mattcrif, while complaining Of the
teachers not keeping bis boy up with
his class, he would state also that ho
detained him from school for three
weeks in succession" The boy alluded
to above was at least half Of the above
mentioned time unwell.-Thc animus
which dictated the Professor Of tho
High School to rush into print about
one ofhis scholars absenting himself
from the school controlled by tue Pro.
'fessor and going 10 another, Is not at all
eommendatory. 1tsmacks Of a species
Of would-bo desputism. Tho person
alluded to, as q free American citizen,
does not now, nor mover can recognize
the right Of my person or persons to
presume, by inuendoes, to question bis
right to send bis boy to what school he
sees proper. AS to tho intimation that
the truth was suppressed, or any part
thereof, the writer Of this hurls tho i'm
putation back with the scorn and con-
tcmpt it so well merits. Tho writer Of
this has paid his tuxes as assessed

with the high school, TO coycrtly attack

common right--a right as yet that has
never been questioned in republics; but
only by the social and literary martineis
ofPrassim despotism. IL is a right
which every parent holds as dear as the
apple Of his eye to control his own
children In the manner which no may
deem proper, to send them to whatever
schools be, the parent, may deem tue
most advantageous to bis children.
And II the parent sees proper to incur
