THE boldest swindling operation ever

performed by travelling salesman who

of l0 cents, which he handed over to q
passing urchin. Then he produced
some gold { y rings which be offered at
10 cents, and when ten were sold agreed
to refund the money. He then offered
chains at 81 apiece, and, as before, re-
turned the money. He offered Sec

he would refund the "spons," aud sue

more, when be calmly announced that
he could "throw the moneyto the dogs,

Mr.. James Douglas, General Manager
and Superintendent Of the Merchants
international Line OF Red River steamers,
passed through ST Paul Sunday for Moor
head, the headquarters Of the company
We understand that prominent capital
lists have recently made a proposition TO
M. Douglas. which If accepted will have
an important bearing on the transporta.
ton interests of the Red River valley
The proposition is that the Merchants
International Steamboat Company shall
construct boat adapted to navigation
purposes on the Red River above Moor
head. II is stated that this river is nav
igable during the greater part Of the sea-
Of Breckenridge, the terminus Of the main
line of the St. Paul and Pacific Railroad.
In case the Steamboat Company accept
the proposition, spur railroad track
will be run from Breckenridge
to the point agreed upon as
the steamboat landing, thus forming a di
rect rail connection Ia tho St. Paul d
Pacific with the Rcd River steamers, saw
ing hundreds Of miles.
Although the arrangements have not
been fully completed, we understand that
the negotiations have proceeded so far
that there is but little doabt the plans
contemplated in the proposition will be
adopted, and that work will soon com.
menco Of extending the railroad track
and building the boat, both to be com.
pleled in time for the Fan business.
Should the project be carried out it
would prove Of great benefit to merchants
of this city, so largely ENGAGED IN the
trade Of Manitoba, the st Paul & Pac tic
railroad company and the people gener.
ally Of the Red River Valley, as il will
not only shorten the distance, but give
both rail and steamboat; competition,

Hon. Pennock Pusey has arrived home
in St.Paul, from several months absence,
principally passed in Wilmington, Del,
with occasional visits to Philadelphia and
New York. The many friends of Mr..
Pussy in this city and State will be clad
to learn that he has passed a very pleas
ant winter and that he has been, and is
now, in the enjoyment of most excellent
health.
In short conversation with re.
porter Mr.. Pusey gave very dis
couraging report of the winter wheat
prospects in the States of Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, through
which he passed, based on his own per-
sOnal observation. Field after field was
passed as bare as when first turned over
by the pillow, not q sprig of grain re-
lieying the dreary waste, all killed by
the wet and cold weather Of tho past
winter. In. other fields there wero here
and there green patches, and in still 9TH
ers, the prospect was good for nearly sn
average crop. Michigan appeared to
have suffered the least of the States
named, and Indiana next, though in these
States he did not think there would DO a
half crop, while in the Others, he doubted
if the crop would reach third of the
general average.
Reaching Chicago Mr.. Pussy found that
city greatly excited over tho
subject of grasshoppers, the advance
guards Of which had already reached the
city limits, and were reported as commit
ting great havoc with the grain fields Of
southern Illinois. He is Of the opinion.
however, the continuance Of these pests
in that section, or at any point east Of
the Mississippi. will be of comparatively
brief duration, from the fact that the
birds will rapidly make way with goodly
proportion Of them, and that the others
will soon take tho back track for the
great plains Of the southwest from whence
they came. Their appearance has, not.
withstanding, created decided furry in
a that section, and much anxiety is felt
as TO the extent Of damage likely to BE-
sustained TO the growing crops.
From these facts, in connection with
the terrible destruction Of growing crops
by the grasshoppers in Missouri and Kan
sas. Mr.. Pussy Is Of the
opinion that the cut of grain
this year, will b. very largely below that
Of last season, and that as a natural Sc
quence, there must soon be very decid.
ed advance in the price Of wheat, and his
advice to Minnesota farmers who have not
yet sold their surplus Of last years crop,
is to still hold on, and await the advance
in price which is now, he believes, only n
question Of few weeks.

NO CUSTER EXPEDITION,

The following under date of Washing
ton, May Is, is clipped from the Phila-
delphia Times:
Mention having recently been made that a
new expedition to the Black Hills, under GEN
eral Custer, would be fitted out this summer,
numerous applications have been received by
The Secretary Of War from persons throughout
the country tor civil positions in connection
with the expedition, but il is not the design OF
the War Department 10 start any new expedi-
ton, as such measure is deemed unnecessary"
Remembering that elaborate descrip-
ti0ns of the organization and proposed
routes of at least two military expedi-
tions TO the western Black Hills country
have been widely published, and this be-
ing the first contradiction we had seen,
we called at Department Head.
quarters in this city this morning and had
the above confirmed as literally
true. Gen. Custer is not to lead new
expedition TO the Hills. Gen. Terry, the
Department commander, is at loss TO know
how the story originated, but has thought
It unnecessary to publicly contradict it,
so long as no harm was resulting. That
is, he supposes the public expectation
that there would be such an expedition
arose from reading Gen. Sheridan's LETT
ter TO Gen Sherman, published some
months ago; but does not understand
later references to il. since he knows that
Gen. Sheridan not only has not ordered
but also that he does not now contem-

A Chicago Lost Child--Suit for Recov.
cry by Parents.
From the Inter- ocean,

Judge Booth is in almost the same
predicament that King Solomon was in.
volved in when two women claimed the
maternity of ore child. 1t il scarcely
repetition Of history. for the circum.
stances differ in very material points,
though not as to the wisdom, and there
can he no apprehension that the Judge
will suggest an equal division between
the claimants of the property claimed.
The story runs;
On December 2, 1871, John Poots and
his wife, natives Of Bohemia, lost their
son John, then our years of age. They
searched the city in vain until May Is
when the boy was discovered TO be IN the
possession of John L. and Louisa Philips,
who reside at No. 28l ashland avenue,
near Erie street. Mir. Poots Immediately
procured the issuance of a writ of habeas
corpus, which was served upon Mr.. ard
Mrs. Philips. The boy was produced in
the Criminal Court yesterday, and the
trial as to his ownership began. The boy,
who is called John Phillips, is about eight
years Of age, has good features, is healthy
looking and was neatly dressed. There
was quite large number of Bohemans
present. Mr.. and Mrs. Poots swore pos
itively that the child was their son, and
Adolph Poots recognized him as his
brother. The marks of Identification were
scar under the left eye, which he
received by fall, and mole behind his
left ear, light blue eyes and faxen hair
which are visible on the boy. Mr.. and
Mrs, Philips admit that the boy had
been astray and kept by the police Tor
more than a month. They then got
possession of him, but he had no scar at
that time-the scar he has being the TO.
suit Of burn received two years ego.
After examining about ten witnesses, six
of whom identified the boy as 4 young
Bohemian. American, and four SUI porting
Mr.. and Mrs. Philips, the case was cor
tinued to May %, at 2P. II.
When the aged Mrs. Poots was info~m.
ed through an interpreter that another
week must elepse before che my clasp
her offspring In her arms, il even then,
she made hostile demonstrations toward
Mr.. and Mrs. Philips, and, being support.
ed By a Bohemian army Of males and
females, she would have carried off the
boy but for the timely interference Of
Sheriff Agnew and few deputies. A
cessation of hostilities was enforced, and
MIR. and Mrs. Philips retired with the
boy. In the interval, the siege and bonn.
bardment Of the Philips castle on Ashland
avenue by Bohemian army would not
be surprise to those who witnessed the
yearning looks of the alleged father and
mother, and the affectionate anxiety of
the brother, and the determined and
hateful looks Of their friends upon Mr..
and Mrs. Philips.

elaborate story We have had Of another
Custer expedition. at least this is in
consonance with the guarded official con.
tradiction.
But when We recall what our Bismarck
correspondent has said Of the prepare
tions, the assignment of troops, the APP
poiatment of Prof, Phelps to the scien.
tiic corps, etc., we are still puzzled.
There's conundrum behind, for the So
luton of which we wait. Meanwhile we
arc at liberty to guess--that Custer
might have had another expedition but
Sheridan is going to be married and
Grant is arranging for next years politi.

Difiicultiesin the Way OF Cession OF
the Black Hills.

4 Washington correspondent says /:
There are discussions in the Sioux Cabi.
net. Red Cloud said to a miscellaneous
crowd through his interpreter: "Lone
Horns speech to the Great Father heap
nonsense. Lone Horn no big Injun in
my country. | already whipped him
down three or four times. Nobody says
Lone Horn big Injun there" New diff
culties are discovered in the way Of ne.
gotiating Black Hills treaty. From
the laconic speeches Of the chiefs them
selves, and from the intimation of the in.
terpreters. it appears that the chiefs have
come TO Washington quite as much to
talk Of their grievances against their
agents as to consider plan for
the cession Of the Black Hills
country. Red Cloud and his associates
are said 70 be somewhat embarrassed by
the OPPOSITION which has been made
among tho chiefs at home. 1t is urged
that by an express article Of the treaty,
a bargain such as is now contemplated is
quite impossible. Following is the sec.
ton Of the treaty which is is claimed
would prevent the negotiation:
ARTICLE 2. No treaty for the cession
Of any portion Of any part Of the reserva-
ton herein described which may be held
in common shall be OF any validity or
force as against the said Indians, unless
executed and signed by at least three.
Courths Of all the male Indians occupying
or interested in the same; and no cession
by the tribe shall be held or construed
m such manner as 10 deprive, without
his consent, any individual member Of the
tribe Of his rights TO any tract Of land Sc.
lected by him as provided in Art. 8 of
