of the origin Of the disease. The paper was
a mastery and exhaustive effort, and the
earnest discussion which followed took the
rest of the time until 10 O'Clock, at which

The Era of Hard Times.

On the principle that misery loves
company, the victims of dull times in
our own country may be glad to learn
that they are not the only persons thus
afflicted, and that the dullness OF bust
ness extends beyond the United States.
Ones troubles become more endurable
when he knows that the 3 are in like
situation, and are still lot crushed. The
present financial condition of Vienna
has been growing worse ever since the
panic of 1873. There were $50 failures
during the last year. During the same
twelve months over 600 attachments
were levied on property. Since the be
ginning of 1875 the failures have been
still more numerous, exceeding for the
months of January and February the
total for the year 1874. There are 3,OOO
less iourneymen tailors than III 1873, and
those who have work do not earn ". VI
the realthe cutters, 400 are unable to get
employment, and 1900 more are work
ing on half time at wages not exceeding
those of the tailors. The metal-workers
have suffered as greatly there is little or
nothing for carpenters and masons to do,
and there has been general stampede
of iourneymen jewellers to more prosper
Gus localities. The reports are not Mt all
cheering from England, where the iron
trade is in bad way, and mercantile
failures have been numerous. From
various parts of the continent there
comes intelligence of stagnation, if not
of positive distress, and Germany is al
ready feeling the reaction from the flush
times which followed thepayment of the
French milliards. In quarter so re-
mote from the centers of America and
England as Halifax, Nova Scotia, every
branch of trade except that with the
West Indies is reported to be stagnant.
We might multiply these examples, but
we have cited sufficient number to show
that however far from satisfactory the
condition of affairs at home may be, it
will compare favorably with that Of other
countries. Cincinnati Gazette.

4 Story OF Il Brave Boy.

The recent celebration Mt Maysville,
KY, of the centennial of the first corn
planting in Mason county brought out
the following story: On the 23l of June,
1870, a company of 600 Canadians and
Indians, under Col. Byrd, British Off
Ger, came, with six cannon, in boats or
canoes, down the Big Miami river, up
the Ohio to where Covington now stands,
thence up the Licking river to Riddles
or Hinkson's station. Their approach
was most painfully here heralded to the
little company of settlers by the boom
ing of a cannon-a sound which had
never before walked the echoes i'll Ken
lucky. A surrender was demanded, with
promises of protection by the British
from Indian ferocity and indiguities, and
of kind treatment as prisoners. But no
white man ever yet could restrain the
terrible passions of Indian warriors with
prisoners in their hands, and in this case
several were murdered, and others
threatened with death, and barbarously
treated before Col. Byrd could arrest
their terrible fate by threats of instantly
returning to Canada, and abandoning
the expedition. Martins station, five
ullltS tilotttlll tttt tlllC ulllto DtioW SllS,
on Stoner creek, was surrendered; but
the prisoners were saved from death by
Col. Byrd, although the Indians divided
the spoils among themselves. Among
the captured at Riddles station were
several boys. John Ruddle could not
travel because of a stone-bruise on his
foot: he was tomahawkcd and scalped,
but his two young brothers, Abram and
Stephen, were spared because of their
cheerfulness and bravery. George and
John Sail, two little boys, the latter only
two years old, were about to be toma-
hawked as too young to be of any value
as prisoners, when warrior less blood
thirsty than the rest proposed a test of
Johns capability of endurance and nerve.
To ascertain if he would make plucky
Indian, and so be worth the raising, they
determined to roll him down high and
steep stony bank, where the knocks and
bruises would sorely try him. He nnder-
went the cruel ordeal without whimper
or wincing, or any show of fear or suffer
ing; and with smile began to Chamber
up the bank, seeming to say, "Do that
again" Such GOODNESS and self-pos-
session in little child struck them with
intense admiration, and they adopted
him and his brother. George grew up
to manhood and married among them,
but John was ransomed in few years,
returned to Harrison county, and lived a
loDO and uSpful life

in a greater or less degree of preseIya-
ton, which measured six inches in diam
eter, the largest weighing five pounds.
One OF the ribs was nearly eight feet
long, and the entire skeleton must have
been twenty or thirty feet in length.
The men were obliged TO abandon the
excavation on account of the water, but
pumps have been procured and an attempt
will be made to recover more of the re-
mains of past age.
A TEMPORARY injunction, says the Ian
sing Republican, has been issued in the
Superior Court at Detroit to restrain the
County Treasurer and Sheriff from col
Letting the taxes under the new liquor
law. The bill filed praying for this in
junction was in behalf of 400 wholesale
and retail dealers, who claim that the law
is unconstitutional. They declare that
the law was passed in evasion and vio-
lation of The 47th section of the 4th
article of the Constitution, which de-
clares that the Legislature shall not pass
any act authorizing the granting of
license for the sale of ardent, spiritu-
Gus, or other Intoxicating liquors. They
claim that the payment of this tax oper-
ates rs a license. Several other reasons
are given for its unconstitutionality but
this is the principal one. Theodore
Romeyn and f. A. Baker are the counsel
for the liquor dealers, and test case will
be taken to the Supreme Court for de-
cisiOn.

Bone Gathering in the Valley of the
Arkansas.

During the winter and spring hundreds
of settlers along this valley have sup
ported their families by gathering up
buffalo bones and hauling them to the
towns. The prairies for 40 miles each
way from the railroad have been cleaned
over till not a relic of the chase can be
found. Heads and ribs are worth So a
ton. These are shipped to Philadelphia,
and ground up into fertilizers. Shins
and shoulder-blades are worth so q ton;
these go to the sugar-refneries. The
horns are worth $50; the tips are sawed
off here, and sent to the factories of UNI
brellas, fans, pipes, etc.. the remainder
is used by the chemists. Bits of hide
found hanging to the heads are taken oil
and sent to the glue-factories. Every
fragment of these animals is made tc
serve purpose. The trade has beer
opportune for the settlers, as it brought
them the means of livelihood when the
crops failed otherwise they would have
been compelled to abandon their home
steads. Correspondence Kansas CITY
Journal.

Arbitration.

The Typographical Union of this city
has set an example that we would
earnestly commend to all classes of work
ingmen who are disposed to enter into q
controversy with their employers on the
question of wages. The newspaper pro
prietors some days ago requested the
members of the Union to consent to a
small reduction of wages, owing to the
dull times, the effects of which are felt
just now III all departments OF business.
The Union, instead of rashly rushing in
to n strike, has submitted to the proprie-
tors a proposition for the appointment
of Board of Arbitration to talk the
matter over and settle the wages question
amicably-the Union to appoint two
and the proprietors two arbitrators, and
these four to appoint fifth man OF their
own choice. The proprietors will prob
ably accept the proposition, and thus, 1T
is likely. the matter will be settled with
ont strike-in short, settled in the
most reasonable and manly way that can
be adopted by disagreeing employers
and employees. Chicago Journal.
