700 miles, and riding the "ships of

agreeable. All that has been written
about the patient and docile camel is

among the beasts of burden. He is

The HOME OF EARTHQUAKES
At Lifu, Friendly Islands, on the
29th of March, there was a sharp
shock of earthquake, which lasted
some time, and it was followed by
other shocks during the night and the
following day. On the succeeding
night there was only a slight shock,
when it was hoped all was over. On
the evening of the Goth there was a
frightful earthquake, which scared all
the Inhabitants. On another side of
the island, after one Of the shocks OF
earthquake, a great tidal-wave swept
away three villages. A number of
lives were lost, chiefly those of women
and children, although the natives are
such excellent swimmers. On the 1st
of April there had been reckoned, from
the 28th of March, thirty-two earth
quakes. The Church at Wide Bay
had been badly crushed at one end.
Il was pitch dark when the tidal.wave
came upon the land.

swim or paddle across the channel, from
France to England, dressed in his new
life-preserving suit. He was twenty
three hours and half constantly pad
ding. He was escorted on his voyage
by the steamer Prince Ernest, and part
of the way by the excursion steamer
Victoria. When he landed in Eng
land rockets were sent up and there
were cheers on the, steamer. As he
passed Dover Pier on the steamer after
wards, salute was fired in honor of
the courageous American who had per-
formed the hitherto unprecedented
feat of crossing from shore to shore in
a life-saying suit. About an hour be-
lore landing a porpoise approached him
and he was somewhat alarmed, think
ing it was shark. He drew his knife
and threw himself into standing po-
sition ready for battle, when the fright
ened porpoise leapt over him and dis
appeared.
The Captain endured the voyage
very we'll, bur did not want to try the
trip over again. -

meeting as originally proposed, was

authorities would not furnish police
force, which was considered necessary
to maintain order. In addition to this

permission for the use of the Town
Hall by Messrs. Moody and Sankey,

in private garden, at which 200 stu

Of Eton had sustained the head master,

posed meeting, but he (Moody) had
no intention OF holding further SER

CAMP HARNEY, ON FRENCH CREEK !
CUSTER GULcH, Dakota, June l6,
via FORT LARAMIE, Wy, June i6,

via FORT LARAMIE, Wy, June is,
A courier with mail for Fort Lara
mle bears the following telegram for me
Gold IN large quantities and of good
quality has been discovered in Custer's
gulch, on French Greek, and along this
stream tor distance of upward of sew
en- miles toward the source.
Since my latest advices to you at
Chicago from TIE expedition of explo-
rations, the plans of the scientific corps
have been entirely changed, and Camp
Jenney, Oh the east fork of Beaver
Greek, has ceased to be the permanent
point from which investigation radi.
'ates. We were to have been through
the hills on Tuesday, June 8, but were
delayed.
Colonel Dodge, with three cavalry
companies as a military escort, left
Camp Jenney for the purpose of locat-
ing permanent camp in some avaia
BILE place in the vicinity OF Harney's
Peak. The command marched almost
due north along Beaver Creek, then
northeast, when, at the end of the sec
ond days march, Clusters trail was
struck in the midst of snow and rain.
That officers lioe of march was pur-
sued in a southeasterly direction along
Castle Greek. where TIE first indica-
tions of gold were discovered. This
event induced Prof Jenney, of the sci
entlhc corps, 70 remain la Castle Greek
Valley for three days in order to pros
pect, cavalry company being left
with them. The place at which the
geologsts camred is located 400 feet
east Of the 10th meridian, and was
named Camp Tuttle With the re-
mainder OF the command Colonel Dodge
proceeded in southeasterly direction
until Custer S Park was reached, and
last Monday camp was reached on Gus
ter's Gulch, and In close contiguity to
the stockade built by the miners whom
Captain Mix brought out Of the bills
this spring. On General Clusters cav
airy camp ground prospects were speed
lily made, and a good color was panned
out of gold that was a fine quality.
This was done in the presence of your
correspondent. The gold fever spread
so rapidly that there was hardly one in
the command who had not seen and
panned ou. gold color from these plac-
ers or gulch mines. About Camp
Harvey, for a distance of seven miles,
there are scattered along French Creek
four different mining parties, number
ing 20 men. that have taken up claims
from all of which good color has been
panned. There are also several quartz
lodes, which promise rich returns, but
the greatest stress should be placed on
the gulch gold diggings Whep gold
was discovered, the scientists were at
Camp Tuttle, and only arrived here
yesterday afternoon. They were some
what astonished at this discovery. It
is intended to make this the permanent
camp. where the command will remain
until the return of the supply train
from Laramie Telegram to the Chi
cage Inter Ocean.

George William Curtis points ont a
few things worth cutting out and past
ing in your hat: "Remember this SIT
uation; remember our system of gov
ernment-the separate power Of the
States, and the dependence of the
States upon the Union; remember the
traditions and convictions of the late
master class. and then say whether the
peace. prosperity and progress of the
country will be more probably secured
by intrusting the National Govern
ment to the White League and the
party which sympathizes with it, and
supports 1t, or to the party which has
proved its fidelity to freedom, justice
and equal rights"
. OF the independent voter" Har-
per's Weekly says: "There is great
deal said about the independent voter,
as If that phenomenon had but recent
ly appeared, and as if those voters who
support one of the two great parties
were necessarily not Independent.
Mr.. G. E. Adams, Jun, at the Schurz
dinner, seemed to advocate party of
voters who should support no
party, as if a man vote did not count
whether he will or not The gentle
men who have supposed for year or
two that they were peculiarly inde-
pendent because they had voted some-
times for Democrat aud sometimes
for a Republican have an imperfect
idea or the characteraof' party relations
Every honorable man in this country
is an independent voter, that is, he
never votes directly or indirectly for
what he thinks to be a moral wrong
or an unsouud political policy"

Some interesting figures beari

Some interesting figures bearing
upon the proportion of males and fe-
males in the German Empire have re-
Gently been published. Emigration
has for many years caused constant
drain upon the strongest Of the young
male population of Germany, and the
effect Of this emigration upon the pro-
portion of the sexes has been increased
by the wars of l864-66 and 1901,
which rendered the military burdens
Of the people more intolerable, indie
pendent Of the loss to the male popula-
tion by the deaths Of soldiers il these
wars. In 1855 the excess of females
was 348,63l, which declined in the
following nine years of peace to 3l3,-
383 in 1864. AT the end of 1866
that is, after the Schleswig Holstein
and Austrian wars-the excess had in
two years increased to 471,S85. In
December, 1871, however, the effects
Of the French war were shown in an
ascertained surplus female population
of 1855 ,875. Thus in seven years the
excess of females over males had in
creased by no less than IL per cent.
