Like a true son of Adam, he shirks it
upon the women, and the women can't

The Secretary Of War has addressed
communication to Gen. Sherman saying
all expeditions into that portion Of the
Indian Territory known as the Black
Hills country must be prevented as long
as the present treaty exists. Efforts are
now being made for the extinguishment
of the title, and all proper means will be
used to accomplish that end. If, how
ever, the steps which are to be taken
toward the opening Of the country to
settlement fail, those present within that
territory without authority must be ex-
PEELED.
A POOR woman, bound for San Fran
cisco on a Union Pacific train, was
obliged to leave that train on the Dist
ult., and became a mother at Papillion
Station on the ODD. The conductor at
once telegraphed from Papillion "He
weighs twelve pounds, and his name is
George Washington" All the passen-
gers in the coach, upon hearing the an
nouncement, gave three cheers for George
Washington. Then they Clipped in and
bought little hatchet and sent it to
the youth, bidding him also follow the
example of his illustrious nanesnake.
IT is surprising how useful a man can
be if he tries, and that too in small OBJ
scure way. The Rev Hosea T. Ballou,
of Wilmington, VT, is 76 years old. He
has been forty-three years in the ministry.
He has attended I, $50 funerals, preaching
sermons at most Of them. Aside from
his religious duties, Mr.. Ballou has been
for seventeen years Town Clerk, for
fourteen years a Justice of the Peace. for
two terms a member of the Vermont
Legislature, once delegate to Constitu-
tional Convention, and for twenty-one
years a Superintendent of Schools.
ACCORDING to the Chicago Times,
there is in the editorial rooms of that
journal one Of the greatest natural curl
osities that has existed since the day
old Father Noah landed his little boat
on Mount Ararat. It is a puppy (now
three months old which bears unmis-
taxable traits Of four different species
Of the animal creation-the dog, the
coon, the otter, and the muskrat. It
has long hair, like the coon fine fur,
like the otter fiat muskrat tail, and
the shape, size and general appearance
of the canine species. The Times fails
to inform an anxious public in what
capacity this monstrosity is employed
i'll it's editorial rooms-whether as a
writing or fighting editor, OF as a merely
ornamental concomitant.
KANSAS lawyers declare the county aid
bonds voted by the recent Legislature
invalid, and the banks refuse to nego-
tate them. These bonds were depended
upon for the purchase Of seed grain, and
the turn they have taken is q severe blow
to the destitute farmers. AS to food,
there is at present enough of it but I'm
less grain for seed is forthcoming, all the
suffering Of the past winter will recur
next winter, and the country will have
thesepeopleuponits handsagain. Itwould
be matter Of economy for every farmer
in the Northwest to contribute quantity
Of grain for ibis purpose out of his store.
The amount given now will save hun
dred-fold few months hence, and re-
HSve community from the distressing
task OF asking wholesale charity a second
time.
UNDER a wager of $4,000, Mark
Grayson, Richmond Virginia pedes-
trian, proposes to walk around the world
IN six hundred days. He is to set out
from the City Hall, New York, April 3,
1875, and return to the same place No
vember %, 1876. The route planned
will include some 1920 miles, and, in
order to accomplish it, it will be neces-
sary to make over thirty-two miles a
day. This average is to be made daily
while on ship-board The route will be
as follows "From New York to Liv-
erpool by water; thence to Havre, pass
ing through Manchester, Sheffield, and
London from Havre he will walk
through France to Lyons then, passing
through Genoa, Florence, Rome, and
