A new rendering of now you see
him, and now you don't: To be a
lawyer, jurist and statesman, one must
do something to encourage the chances
of the Democracy to overthrow the
Republican party. When Senator
Christiancy spoke and voted against
the admission Of Pinchback, he was
endorsed by the Democratic press as
a lawyer, iurist aud statesman OF the
highest order. When he voted for
the resolution approving the course
of the President as regards the Lou
isiana difficulty, the Democratic press
had nothing to say about him.

1t now appears that John Mitchell.
who was lately elected as member of
the British Parliament, from the
County Tipperary, Ireland, was citi-
zen of the United States. In 1856, at
the county court of San Francisco, in
California, Mitchell reported himself
for naturalization, and declared on
oath that it was his bonafide intention
to become a citizen; and in 1860, at
Washington, he applied for full letters
of naturalization. The proof of this
would have unseated Mitchell in the
British Parliament, if death bad not
stepped in and settled the vexed
question.

The phrase biting the dust" is
not, as many would suppose. mere
figure of speech, but originated, doubt
less, from certain fact in regard to
men slain in battle while engaged in
manner to cause strong muscular ac-
tion. In regard to the matter, the
following interesting paragraph oe-
ours in the last volume of KiHglakes
History of the Crimean War
ut would seem that this muscular
action (biting the dust) is apt to occur
when a man has been arrested by
death in the act Of strenuous bodily
cxertion; and no doubt an artillery
man, while hotly engaged and yehe-
mently serving his gun, must in gem
eral be much harder at work than an
infantry soldier, busted with his fire.
lock. In ancient times large pro-
portion Of the slain were killed in the
act of exerting their strength to the
utmost, and then it was that biting
the dust became almost an equivalent
for the being killed in battle How
ever hotly enged. a modern infantry
soldier does not commonly exert,
while halted, any great amount of
physical strength, and the instances
in which he literally bites the dust
are comparatively rare"

his hand-three aces and two queens

With his hand. The miner uttered
not word; he merely took two of his
Eve cards and laid down. They were
aces. This meant FIVE aces in the
pack. The gambler had dealt. Then
the miner reached back like Lightning,
drawing a huge navy revolver. He
cooked it and placed the muzzles be-

a word was spoken, but each of fhe
two men looked steadily inte the eyes

The revolver followed. The gambler

passengers in the car seemed to lose
their interest in the game, most of them
trying to get under the seats. The
gambler backed down the aisle toward
the door, and as he passed cut the
muzzle of that huge revolver still
stared him in the face. Then the
miner put up his pistol, pocketed the
money, lit his pipe and was as the
other men. Not word had been .
spoken from the time the call was
made. 1t was merely one of the rare
occasions where gambler on the

The Commissioner Of Indian Affairs
and Prof Marsh and his Charges.

WASHINGTON, July l33--The com.
missioner Of Indian affairs makes the
following statement regarding the let.
ter of Prof. Marsh:
Some time ago Prof, Marsh return
ed from Western, tour, during which
he visited Red Clousl's agency.
About the time Of his return numcr-
Gus charges of misconduct in Office
against Agent sayille, OF Red Cloud
agency, which involved the character
Of supplies aud the manner Of their
distribution, appeared in the liberal
papers, all calculated apparently to
effect the Indian otfice and interior
department. Prof. Marsh came to
Washington, called on me, AMI pre-
scnted u sample Of supplies which lie
claimed were from Red Cloud, but
which he had not verified. He did
not call upon the secretary Of the in
terior with Commissioner Cate with
him at; he was presented 10 the pres
idcnt by the postmaster general, and
rctirated his general and indefinite
accounts to all these. The secretary
made no reply, as nothing had been
presented to him definite enough to
justify an answer. When the Sioux
visited Washington, the secretary in
vited Prof. Marsh to visit him, and
on his doing SO requested him to give
in writing any grounds Of complaints
he might have against the Indian ser
vice, that he might inrcstig them.
This he refused to do. The secretary
previously requested the board Of In.
dian commissioners appoint persons
to investigate these vague charges.
/ When the board was selected Prof
Marsh was notified by the. commits
sioner Of Indian affairs and requested
/ to furnish the Indian Office any infor
nation or proof sustaining the charges
he had to make. This commissio.
will investigate his statement, whicl
is due to all parties.
