BLACK HILLS.
Hostile sionx on the Way to See the
ss.a s., Great Father; ..,ss 4 q &. 4

- Major Bingham, Agent at Cheyenne,
arrived Thursday last. on his way to
Warrington, accompanied BY William
7 Fielder, interpreter, and the following
Sioux chiefs, viz: Lone Horn, head chief
Ainnecopjons, Long Mandau, Red Skirt
Tor Grab-the- Bear, White Swan, The
Duck, Bull Eagle, Spotted Ell, Rafting
Rib and The Charger. Five Of these
are OF the hostiles and four Of the Agen-
acy. A TRIBuNE reporter was dispatched
to interview these Black Hills proprie-
tors. He etalkeds pleasant, called them
i Big Indians compiimented their warri-
ors, and gave them kinhikinnick; but it
was 10 use they wouid not interview.
Lone Horn said, The Great Father. has
sent for u.s. Hea;wants to talk Y to- us,
but we do not know Whist he wants.
We are glad to 60 to him, because We
have been treated bad by thewhite man,
and we want to tell the Great Father
about it.n When asked about the Black
Hills, after about . dozen whifs on his
pipe, and 4 moment or two in thought,
phe said he did not want to talk about
it That is all they land they have, and
if they sold that they would have mo
place to live or hunt. If the Great
Father wanted TO talk about that they
would hear what he had ito say and
would tell their people. This party
were unanimously opposed to selling on
any terms, but would consider the mat.
ter. It will be some thirty days before
they return from Washington when .
council must be called where sthe3 mat
ter must all be talked over, with the
chances IN favor Of favorable action,
I for the Indians realize that they are
opposing great odds in attempting to
hold the country. Adyices from Stand.
ing Rock Agency indicate that the In
dians at that Agency feel greatly slight
ed in not being permitted to send q del
egation TO Washington, as over half of
the ,signers Of the former treaty are at
that Agency, and the agent has tele-
.graphed TO Washington for authority
!, to bring on, . delegation. It will be
late in the season before q treaty can be
concluded and the country opened, but

temperance.
KATE HOWARD.

Editor DAILY Globe u notice by the
papers, that at the meeting Of the State
Temperance society, at Mortified, in Dec,
the general agent Rev. P. N. Granger, re-
ported as collected by him in 1874 four hun
dred and two dollars while in 1873, he col
lected five hundred and forty seven dollars,
falling off of one hundred and forty-five
dollars. This, without some explanation,
looks bad for the cause, or against the
adaptation or zeal of the agent. There has
been no such reverscs in the financial ia
terests and business of the state, as to lead
any one TO expect such a contrast between
these two years, and these and other years
Is the cause loosing its hold upon the
heart of the people: Is liking alcohol to
conquer, and his deadly waters to flow forth
without restraint? Shall we, by the next
biennial session, repeal the prohibitory,
and give to Vermont license law? Can
you, Mr. Editor, give some answers to
these interrogations, and throw some light
upon this great theme? Editors are sup
posed to know more of the future than some
other men. Please send the printed re-
ports OF Mr.. Granger if you have them
and oblige. They have never as yet, come
in my way A. h. C.

the following:
Under the above heading in the WEEKLY
GLOBE of January Is, there is an article
that think will have the effect of mis-
leading district clerks in regard to school
returns.
Births and deaths should be returned to
the town clerk, but school returns to the
town superintendent of schools, as will be
seen by looking at section 4, No. IS of The
public acts of the Legislature of Vermont
of 1872, which provides that, ''the returns
now required to be made by district clerks
to town clerks by the provisions of the act
entitled can act in relation to school CEN
sus and other school matters" approved
Nov. 20, 1870, shall hereafter be made to
the town superintendent of schools.
Section Of No. 40 of the public acts
of the Legislature of Vermont OF 1874
provides that clerks of fractional districts
shall make returns to the town superinten-
dent Of each of the towns specifying the
number of children, etc., etc.

{" On the Ragged Edge. :,

One of the narrowest escapes from a
frightful railroad accident that has occurred
in this vicinity for some time, happened
Monday morning on the Delaware and
Hudson canal company's road. The do n
train due here at $40 o'clock was tele-
graDhed as 25 minutes behind time when
the morning train left the Union depot at
7:45 o'clock, and consequently the train
dispatcher instructed Conductor johnson,
who had charge of the morning train, to
pass the down train at Round Lake instead
of East Line. Corresponding instructions
were forwarded to the conductor of the
down train. 1t was subsequently, found
that that train had made up some of the
time, and the station master at Mechanics
vile was instructed to notify Conductor
Johnson to go on. He neglected to do this,
and the conductor of the down train was
instructed to hold the first order in torce.
Upon Johnson's arrival at Round Lake the
down train was not in sight, and Superin-
tendent Smith directed him to go on with
his train, notwithstanding the orders of the
train dispatcher, who has full control of
the movements of trains. The snow was
blowing furously, and it was almost i'm
possible to see two lengths ahead of the To-
connective. A fiagman was sent ON with
flag, and strict watch was kept upon his
movements, but he was soon out of sight
The passengers, by this time, became inter
ested in the movement. and some little ex-
element was occasioned. The storm con-
tnued and slow progress was made, il be-
ing impossible to know anything definite
about the down train. When about two
miles below Saratoga the engineer of this
train accidentally put his head out of the
cab window, being unable 10 see through
the glass, when to his surprise he discover
ed the iiagman few rods off violent
ly gesticulating and further on he saw the
dim outline of the up train. Down brakes
was whstled and both trains stopped sim
ultaneously, the cow-catchers being but Il
few feet from each other. The passengers
thronged the platforms, thoroughly excited
and fully conscious of the danger they had
escaped. The trains separated and ran to
the next switch, where they passed and
proceeded to their destinations.
SNOW BIooKADE-RIGHr HOURS DRTRN-
TION.
After the passenger trains had passed
Saratoga freight train, with twenty cars,
started from that village south. Between
BallstOn and Mechanicville the locomotive
encountered heavy snow drift, an was
unable to proceed or return. The road was
consequently blockaded. and the up train,
leaving Troy at 1880 o'clock, was unable
to get further on than Mechanicville. The
evening train was also delayed at the same
place, and the down train was compelledto
stop at Saratoga. An extra engine was sent
to the aid of the freight train, and the cars
were extricated two at time. The track
was not cleared, however, until 10 o'clock
last night, and the train did not arrive in
this city until about 11;30 O'Clock p. m.
The two up trains arrived at Whitehall
about o'clock in themorning, Troy
Times.

FASHION.
All ~ Not Gold that GIitters.

1t ceases not to be a wonder that SO
many men and women exist in this practi-
cal age, who are not what they appear,
when we look around and see the glare and
gross extravaganza which surrounds. In
vain do we ask, are these the descendants
of the Pilgrim Fathers, or daughters of
mothers who spun substantial homespuns,
and greater still, were not ashamed to wear
the bright fabric they had woven.
Look at that butterfly of the ball room,
a devotee of foolishness. The bright H.
lusions of lace and flowers adorn form
whose graceful motions are soft and sway
ing as bending willow. Those wavy riv-
ulets of bonded hair are finely contrasted
to the glowing cheek no discordant notes
of sorrow issues from the rosy lips, but
smiles and soft tones with silvery sweetness
fill the air. Snowy arms are glittering with
jewels the tapercd fingers are loaded with
gems. Behold her later still, when the
incense of adulation has frightened the
eye, tlnged the rosy hue OF the cheek to
the carnations deepest dye. Repartee
springs brilliantly from her ready-witted
