EX.COMMlssiONER WELSH On THE
INDIAN RING.

Mr.. William Welsh OF Philadelphia. eN-
member of the board of Indian commits
sioners, is making it hot for the Indian
Ring. Mr.. Welsh's letters to the Presi-
dent and to Prof. Marsh, confirm all the
statements made by the Professor in
regard to fraudulent contracts: short
weights in beef, and the course pursued
by Secretary Delano, who appears to
have systematically repressed every at
tempt to expose the cor.
rupt practices of the Indian
agents. Among other instances of this.
Mr.. Welsh cites the case Ola special CON-
mission appointed to visit the Spotted
Tail Agency and examine the reports OF
frauds in cattle there. The Commission
found such state otirregularity, confu-
sion and corruption at that Agency, the
result of the management of its agent,
that they recommended special investi-
CATION of its affairs, covering the whole
term, and the suspension of his accounts,
with all outstanding vouchers and in
debtcdncss certified by him, until such
investigation could be had. The COM
missioncrs also reported that they
had in their possession many
facts and details which would be of Use
in detecting the frauds at the Red Cloud
rs well as at the Spotted Tail Agency.
But the Secretary of the Interior. i'll
stead of giving this very important re-
port publicity, suppressed it. Instead OF
suppressing the vouchers, as recommend
cd, he sent newly appointed Indian in
| spcctor, who, when an agent, had signed
vouchers for cattle In excess of delivery
both in weight and number. This man,
after spending few weeks at the agcn-
cy, made report to Secretary Delano
that he found everything right, no evil
dence Of fraud and no more supplies re-
ceipted for than were actually received.
This report was received and p'''i@i'o"

ANARROw ESCAPE.

During the great storm in Peoria coun.
~, In this State, the house of Mr.. +. r
Lambertson was torn by 1t into fragments.
The family, Mr.. LambcrtsOn, wife and
daughter, and Mr.. Sam. Milton. wife and
child, providentially escaped. "The
young women" says o correspondent OF
the Peoria Democrat, "were in the bed
room In the northwest part OF the house,
on the first floor, Mrs. L. was sitting on a
chair in the front room, Messrs l.. and
Milton were trying to hold the kitchen
door opening south. Milton felt the house
moving, sprang out Of the open door fol-
lowed by his father, who, after the storm.
was found insensible, pinned to the
ground by a cherry tree. Milton found
his mother crawling into the top of a
Frustrated apple tree. The girls were
found on the second floor, one wrapped
up In lot of bedclothes and a bed room
partition upon her. The lower floor was
blown to pieces; part Of the sills have
been found half a mile from where the
house stood. Others have not yet been
found.
THE great mystery is how did the fe.
males escape being killed or hclplessly
manned. Part Of the store was blown
Into Mr.. Hanna's field, thrce-fourths of
mile distant. The apple trees, amounting
to nearly 100. were all blown over or

A PEN PICTURE OF Jack CHANDLER

The defeat of Mr.. Chandler is 8
proper subject for congratulation or
the people of the whole country as
muca as of his own State. The Der.
iod of that gentleman's usefulness
and we think he did have his uses
ended some time ago. He had sur
vlved the boisterous times that seem
ed to demand that buster should be
answered with buster. The emer-
sency that called him into public life
had passed, and he Jagged superau-
Gus. For him in serious and DIG
nified legislative body there was nei-
Their occasion nor place. Neither BY
nature, education, associations, train
ing nor habits of thought was he fit
ted for the functions of a legislator
in period of peace and reconstruc-
ton, which called for the most care
full deliberation and wise and states
manlike treatment of the most deli
cate questions. Rough in his man
ners, harsh and brutal in his utter
ances, and unforgiving in his nature,
he was not the man to have to do
with legislation which needed to be
conciliatory ard kind, rather than re-
yengeful and vindictive. Naturally
a swaggerer and bully, in a time of
peace his vocation was gone, his mis-
sion ended. With no training as a
statesmen when he entered public
life, he had failed to improve the OPP
portunities which long association
with public affairs afforded MIN, and
at the close of his eighteen years
services was no better equipped for
his work than when he entered upon
it. He touched nothing to dignity
Or adorn it; he gave neither informa
ton nor enlightenment to the Senate
Or people upon any subject; in poll
lies he was simply an intriguer, in
legislation and statecraft blun,lerer |
md mischiefmaker. He dispensed
patronage, he supported the Admin
stration, and he brawled for war;
This and no more. 1t was time he
stepped down and out. The air be-
gins to be a little purer already IN.

A REMARKABLE Doc STeRY.-This
story is told US by gentleman who
says its truth is vouched for by wit
nesses of undoubted veracity, says
the Franklin Ky. Patriot: "some
years ago, while Mr.. Hamilton was
fishing near the lower rapids of the
Mississippi, just above the Keokuk.
he observed below him a man bailine
a canoe, preparatory to taking him
self, wife and baby, across the river.
At the same time Mr.. II. saw that
his Newfoundland dog was watching
the proceedings of the party. Seem
ing to comprehend their intention,
the dog uttered peculiar howl, and
passing rapidly up the river for some
distance, plunged into the water and
swan diagonally down and landed on
a large rock standing out of the water
about midway the stream. After
shaking the water from his shaggy
coat, he again watched the party,
who, in the meantime, had embarked
in the canoe. just as the little boat
passed the rock, it was caught in the
rapidly descending current and in
stantly capsized. The woman, IN
falling in to the water, loosed her
hold on the child, which foated down
the stream. The man caught his wife
and waded with her to the rock. The
instant the child fell into the water,
the dog leaped in, and in a short
time was seen in the still water be-
low swimming with the child in his
mouth, which he carried in safety to
The shore.

,-DEATH was the result of foolish wa
ger in Paris, recently. A young man made
a bet that he would smoke twelve cigars
one after another. At the end of the
eighth he began to feel unwell, and when
he had finished the ninth he was attacked
with giddiness and shiverings. He refused
to leave off smoking, but went home in
charge of some friends. A medical man
was called in, who could not, however,
help him, and he died during the night.
