The mosquitoes having made their

Measure. feels constrained to make the
following personal explanation: The
mosquito is here-numerously. Usu-
ally. they are bad for season of only
about six weeks; but we suspect they
mean to stay longer this time, for each
one comes showing an inordinately
large trunk in front of him. If any of
our readers fail, within the coming
months. to find in our weekly lucubra-
lions that generous SAVIOR of quondam
issues, they will be good enough to give
US credit for the quon, and give the
other to the mosquitoes.

Red Clouds Views of Whisky and
Water.

from an Interview in the Chicago Tribune. j
Reporter - Have you visited our
water works? They are an interesting
sight.
MIR. Red Cloud-No. Your whisky
is good enough for me.
Reporter-But we have tunnel un-
der the lake for two miles, through
which we get orr water supply.
Mr.. Red Cloud - White man, Red
Cloud hates the man who tells him q
lie. Do the people of this great city
60 two miles for water when they
needn't 60 more than two rods any
way for whisky.
Reporter But some of our people
use water for other purposes than
drinking. But few use tas constant
beverage.
Mr.. Red cloud-I thought not. 1t
will do for the white winged ships but
not for the red mans drink. Ugh!
Drink water where there's whisky
Would Red Cloud Stay the gopher or
the chipmunk when he could kill the
deer or the buffalo?
Reporter-We have had quite a
whisky seizure here lately. Distill-
cries were seized because their owners
failed to pay the Government taxes.
Mr.. Red Cloud = l am sorry for
that. Would the red man Stay the
friend that feeds him? Oh, no.
Reporter - 1t was some OF Wash
burns doings.
Mr.. Red Cloud - Go tell the tall
Hemlock of the Orient that it won't
do. Tell him, pale face, that Red
Cloud has said so.
Reporter think it is vile con-
spiracy to force people into drinking
Waukegan spring water. Several OF
the Government officials live in that
city.
Mr.. Red Cloud - But the white
braves will not submit. Your people
are not towards. They are swift as
the west wind to avenge wrong.
Their armies are as many as the snow
flakes which break the branches of the
pine tree.

leaves a wife and child. The river was
dragged, and Rice's body found three

ATLANTIC, Iowa, May 26.
A villainous looking wretch has been
loafng around Pottowattamie county
for several days. He left Avoca this
morning and came to Walnut, to which
place he was followed by Deputy
Sheriff Cool of that place. Charley
Hinckley, formerly of Atlantic but now
Constable of Walnut, when he learned
how matters stood, at once started on
horseback to catch the criminal, who
was making his way across the prairie.
Charley soon caught up, when the des-
perado turned and gave battle, firing
two shots, the first of which was a
miss. Charley was only saved from
the second by his horse throwing up
his head and receiving the ball in his
eye. Charley then drew his revolver
and fired, killing his man instantly.
The body was brought back to Walnut.

William Baller was shot aud danger

New YORK, May 26.
On the 1st of June the interest due
in London on the second consolidated
mortgage bonds of the Erie Railroad
Company will amount to three mil
lions. Subse luently prices rallied on
the announcement that President jew
EFT had been appointed Receiver of the
Erie road.
The Tribune says tomorrow the
Erie road will pass into the hands of
the Receiver. The present manage
ment has been unprecedentedly extrav-
agant. The company's legitimate debt
is very heavy, and judgment has been
entered against them on account of the
Atlantic and Great Western and Boston
and Hartford.

THE San Francisco Chronicle says:
"A quaint game of draw, quarter ante,
was in progress the other evening at
Chico. One of the party managed to
get a hart-hush, ace at the head, ont of
the deck, and laid it in his lap, waiting
a chance to play it. Presently the
chance came. The guileless gentle
man counted ont $40 better with one
hand, and quietly went down with the
other hand for that flush. 1t WASH t
there. He had to play his original
hand. Two of the party called his $40
better, and one of them in the show
down produced the identical heart
flush that he had been at such pains to
secure. He knew it was the same, for
the ace was crimped just as he had done
it, The secret was that Ira Wetherbee s
dog, Patsey, had quietly put his nose
in, picked up the flush, carried it
around to his friend, wagged his tail
knowingly and walked off.

THE Austin Reveille of the goth says
A grasshoppersufferer, recently arrived
from the East, says he hardly believed
the stories he heard in Chicago, that
when fellow got to Nevada he could
pick mp all the gold and silver he
wanted right off the top of the ground.
He thought there might be some little
trouble encountered in getting the
precious metals, but he had no idea
that person must slide five hundred
feet down straight hole just to get

when they got 'consecrator" started.
He says he will never consecrate his
life to mining; that he would rather be

CLOSING THE BLOODY CHAsM.

The men of the North and the South
who risked their lives in the holly con
tested engagements in the late war, APP
pear to be almost unanimously disposed
to forget the sectional animosities which
the strife engendered, and forgive those
who participated in the struggles. From
all parts OF the South comes the graft
flying intelligence that on the Gath of
May-Memorial Day-ex-Federal and
ex-Confederate soldiers joined in the
services, and We'd with each other in
decorating the graves of their dead
comrades. In Memphis, Tenn, one of
the hot-beds of secession and the most
rebellious of the Southern cities during
the war, the ex-soldiers of both armies
almost to a man turned out and partici-
pated in the ceremonies. The telegraph
brings the news that the tattered battle
flags of both armies waved in the ranks
of the procession, and a genuine inter-
mingling Of the blue and the gray was
presented.
While this disposition is manifested
generally by the men who risked their
lives for principle, there is class of
office-seeking demagogues, who, in
hopes of obtaining political prefer
ment thereby, are endeavoring, by
appeals to prejudices, to fan the
dying embers of the rebellion
into flame. Those unprincipled
schemers would rekindle the fires of
sectionalism, and again array the
North and South against each other,
for no nobler purpose, and with no
higher motive than the hope of secur-
ing Office, or maintaining the suprem-
acy of a party which appoints them
to one. Noticeable among this class
are the members of the Republican
State Central Committee of California,
which, in flaming address, emblaz-
oned Win misrepresentation endeay-
ors to revive the war feeling and
spirit in the minds of the people, and
fanatical expounder of their doctrines,
who delivered an address in Sacra-
meDto last Saturday. This atter-day
patriot and disciple of Grantism de-
clared from the stand that the South
was preparing to renew the war, just
twenty-four hours before the ex-Union
and ex-Confederate soldiers in the prin-
cipal cities of the South, marched arm
and arm in procession, and blended
their bullet-riddled banners in arching
over the bloody chasm, burying the
animosities of the war and renewing
their allegence to the Union.
