RE-APrEARANcE or:rHE P1AouE.-An old

RE-APpEARANCEo OF THE PIAoUE.-An old
and very unwelcome visitant has made
its appearance in the marshy districts be-
tween Tigris and Euphrates. 1t is the
old-fashioned plague, which, under the
name of black death, destroyed in Eu-
rope, between 1348 and 1851, about
20, 600. 900 of people, Italy losing half it's
Inhabitants, Germany about 1,240.OOO
souls, and London alone 100, ZOO of it's
residents. In China $4,000, 600, and in
other countries of the East 24,OOO, 600
persons nre said to have fallen victims to
this epidemic, which seems to have ex-
tended to Africa in the South and to
Greenland in tho North. No such de-
structive scourge huti been known, ai;;!.
rs usual in the middle ages, the Jews in
Europe were held responsible. 1t was
said that they had poisoned the wells,
and mt Mayence $4,000 of them were
massacred. The plague has since spread
into Europe at different periods, but its
ravages have been confined to narrower
limits In 1876 Titian died from it at
Venice. In 1865 it ragged in London,
nearly 10000 having fallen victims to it.
In 1920 not fi,r from onc-half the people
Of Marseilles were swept away. and
about 1890 it was very fatal in Russia
and Poland. The later visitntions of the
pAoS oo hhNc hlat1AlS uccu COuuutu lO the
countries lying on the Eastern shores of
the Mediterrnnean. The disease is fatal
in the majority of cases, death occurring
IN less thnn week after the first attack.
Nowhere have its symptoms been more
faithfully and yiyidly described than in
Defoe's wonderful description of the
plague year in London. which is true to
reality, though the basis Of the narrative
IS imaginative. About thirty years have
elapsed since the last violent inrond of
the plague into Egypt and Asia Minor.
Its rnvages in the former country are
briefly, yet eloquently, portrayed in
Kinglake's Eothen. People were begin
ming to hopo that it had died out when
In 1867 some cases appeared in the low
and malarious districts of Mesopotamia.
The spread of the disease was quite
slow, and it did not attract much notice
until the close of 1873. From that time
until, now, cases have multiplied, and
the area of infection has been greatly
widened. Some localities have suffered
frightfully. The future alone can tell
whether the malady will be confined to
sections to which. it appears almost cpl
demic, or whether, rs Mt former periods,
it will overleap its limits and advance
toward the civilized centres. It may be
aided, as are other diseases, by dirt and
poverty, but, on the other hand, the
channels through which infection may
be spread are largely increased. Medical
skill as yet has discovered no specific
against it, and, like smallpox, which
half a century ago seemed likely to be
stamped out, it may be entering upon
new cycle Of vigor.

A Double DANGER AvEnrED. in

ened by double danger. He is not
only compelled to breathe miasma, but to
s,'at'o,c it, since it infects, not only the
atmosphere, but the water. The aerial
poison threatens his system through the
lungs and pores, the liquid through the
stomach. Against this double peril there
is but one protection, and that is to in
yiigorate the entire body through the
digestive and secretive organs. Ordi-
nary tonics usually fnil to accomplish
this-Hostetter's Stomach Bitters never.
In the tropics, where the diseases origi-
mated by malaria are of q far more malis-
nnnt type than those originated by the
same cause in tho temperate zone, it en-
joys immense and constantly increasing
sales, and there is no portion of this
continent where it is not the reieninc
specific for miasmatic fevers and disor-
ders OF the stomach, liver and bowels,
proceeding from malaria and other
causes. J1Gt3T1

a despatch from Omaha states that two
Indians have been killed and several
wounded by soldiers in the neighbor-
rood of the Red Cloud agency This is
an unlucky affair, as tho commissioners
recently appointed by the Government
to treat for the purchase of the Black
Hills, were just arranging for council
to be held ut Fort Randall or Fort
S:mlly, about the 1st September. The
killing having taken place on the rcser-
vation, the Indians are excited over it,
and negotiations will doubtless be de-
layed or rendered impracticable Ten
days ago, the commissioners held n
preliminary meeting Mt the Red Cloud
agency, which was attended by sixteen
prominent Sioux chiefs, who were all in
the best humor, and expressed their will
lingness to get all their people together
to consider the Black Hills business
There may have been some good reason
for the reported shooting but whatever
mny have been the cause, it will be very
difficult now to bring the Indians to turns
by negotiations.

The STATUE OF LAFAyErrE.-Tho

The STATUE OF LAFAYETTE Tho
statue Of Lafayette, the gift of the
French Government to tho city of New
York, was received in that city on
Wednesday. 1t is the work Of Frederic
Bartholdi, q native OF Colmar, in Alsace,
and is seven feet high exclusive of the
pediment. The project of presenting
this statue to New York originated with
the Theirs Government, and nearly
$50, 900, gold. was appropriated for its
execution in bronze. The design of the
sculptor represents Gen. Lafayette in
his twentieth year, at the time when he
joined the continental army. He stands
upon ship as if in the act of speaking.
His right arm is extended, and the left
is thrown across his chest, with the hand
grasping the pommel of his sword and
q mass of drapery which falls at his feet.
The body is firmly posed upon tho right
foot, while the left leg 10 extended.. The
head is slightly turned to the right The
statue will be placed in Central Pork,
and the unvefling will probably take
place early in the fall. .f~-i''I

STARVATION AMONG THE IND1ANs.-A
Denver newspaper publishes letter
from Red Cloud agency, which gives
touching picture of the sufferings of O
body ofArrapahoe Indians; who live in the
vicinity upon reservation. After stat
ing that they hang about tho post and
fish refuse from swill barrels, and relat-
ing some instances of extreme suffering,
the writer says:
''They are starving and their papooses
are starving. They, have ponies that
they want to swap, a2d money they
want to pay for provisions, but the pro-
visions are not to be hnd. The agent
has none, the trader has none. The post
commissary officer is not allowed to sell
to them, and they are not allowed to 90
oil the reservation to buy. If they were
allowed. the nearest market is seventy
five miles away. So they ore come to
staryc. The children are perfect little
skeletons, arms and legs like pipe
stems, and faces bony, gaunt and odd
looking, with an ashy, unnatural COM
plexion, that at once attracts attention.
a woman had one of them, little three
year-old half-breed child, with lovely
brown eyes, light hair and fair COM
pie9ion, at the post to-day, trying to
trade him off for sack of -four. Now,
somebody is certainly to blame for this
state of affairs: Somebody is RESPONSE
bic for the starving of these people.
They have submitted to the authority of
the Government, and this is their reward.
Who can blame them if, starved into
desperation, they leave their reservation.
Kill cattle that do not belong to them
and shoot man who resists them?"
This is not believed to be IN exccp-
tional case amongthe Indians. A West
ern journal suggests that if the rod men
were only black, and could be made
available for voters, these atrocities
would ring from one end of the land to
the other.

The not unexpected news comes from
London that Lady Franklin is dead.
With the history of this. noble woman,
all our readers are familiar. Many years
ago her husband, Sir John franklin, was
lost in an expedition in search of the
Northwest Passage. He WAS last seen in
Bafin's Bay, July 90, 1s45-just thirty
years ago. For nlrny years It was net
certainly known whether he was dead or
dragging put miserable existence in the
ice-bound regions of the North Pole, and
she expended every dollar of her private
fortune in equipping expeditions for his
relief: At last the most positive evidence
of his death was discovered, and since
that time she has been endeayoring to
recover the remains of the great explorer.
Almost her last act, was to aid by every
means at her command in the organization
OF tho expedition which so recently sailed
for the Polar Seas. The devotion of
Lady Franklin attracted the attention
and elected the admiration Of the civil
lied world, and the purses of princes
and of private citizens alike havo aided
in the prosecution Of her searches. The
great navigator was twice married, and
was exceedingly fortunate in both his
ventures. His first wife was equally de-
voted. In 1925, he was appointed to the
command of an overland expedition to
the Arctic Ocean. When the day of his
departure arrived, his wife was lying ut
rthe point of death. She insisted that he
should not delay his voyage because of
her illness, and presented him with
silk flag, which she requested him to
hoist when he reached the Polar Sea-
The day after he lelt England, sho died.

God in Nature.

When Napoleon was returning from
his campaign in Egypt and Syria, he
was seated one night upon the deck of
the vessel under the open canopy of
the heavens, surrounded by his cap
tains and generals. The conversation
had taken skeptical direction, and
most of the party had combatted the
doctrine of Divine existence. Napo-
leon sat silentand musing, apparently
taking no interest in the discussion,
when suddenly raising his hand and
pointing at the crystalline armament
crowded with Its mildly y-shining plan
cts and its keen-glittering stars, he
broke out in those startling tones, that
so often electrified millions. "Gen-
tlemen, who made all that?u The
"eternal power and godhead" of the
Creator are impressed by "the things
that are made;" and these words of
Napoleon 10 his esthetic captains si-
lenoed them. And the same impress
sion is made the world over. Go to-.
day into the heart of Africa, or into
the center Of New Holland; select the
most imbruted pagan that can Ee
found; take him out to clear, star-lit
heaven, and ask him who made all
that, and the idea of Superior Being
superior to all his fetiches and idols,
possessing eternal power and godhead,
immediately emerges in his oonsci0us-
ness. The instant the missionary
takes his lustful idolater away from
tho circle of his idols, and brings him
face to face with the heavens and the
earth, as Napoleon brought his cap
tains, the thought of God dawns again
and the pagan trembIes before the un-
seen power. -.a
