give up portions OF this country, and re-
serve the part where the Red Cloud and

The President said the $25, 900 were for

He offered to allow them to name a per.

things as they wanted, If the person
named was a proper person to receive it

ment without going back to his country
and consulting with his people.

ounces OF water, shaken and then used

into the hollow Of the hand and snuffed
up into the nose. Any druggist can pre-
pare the mixture. / write this simply
for the benefit of the thousands of in

Pestiferous animalcule lnhabiting the
nose are supposed to be the cause of the
hay-fever, and these the quinine kills." .

Mr.. Roebuck, who has devoted his life
to the weil-being of the working classes,
in a recent speech at Sheffield, gave ut.
terances to some very sensible remarks
upon the way in which the artisan is in
the habit of spending his leisure time.
II man, says Mr.. Roebuck, makes his
wages the means merely OF eating drink
ing and sleeping, he is throwing away
the resources at his command. Let the
workingman, he says, cultivate his in
tellect; good books are cheap in these
days, and few cents laid out ON a
standard author will be repaid over and
over again in the rich and ennobling en-
joyment afforded by its pages. Many
workingmen lind the evening hours hang
heavy on their hands, and for want Of
something else to do take refuge in the
amusements that are ruinous and de.
grading. The love Of literature is OF
course an acquired taste, but science,
history, poetry or the higher forms OF
iction--ail may be studied by the work
ingman with the effect OF making his
mind q treasury Of lofty thoughts and o
chronicle Of noble deeds.

All the romance would not seem to
have deserted the footpads yet, for quite
pretty story comes from Buffalo. II
appears that on the 9th OF May aROld
watch and chain valued at $40O were
stolen from the residence of j. G. Evans,
Of that city. Friday evening the door
bell was rung, and Mrs. Evans who hap
pened to be alone at the time, answered
1t. She was met by man whose face
was muff1ed up SO as to be unrecognix-
able. In one hand lie held pistol, which
he pointed at her, and in the other a
pasteboard box which he rendered, say
ing, "Your watch and chain are In this
box. Take it and give me hundred
dollars" He would permit no delay,
and Mrs. Evans handed him her pocket
book containing $40. The fellow took 1t
and departed without saying another
word. The watch and chain were found
In the box when it was opened. This
certainly has quite the tinge OF romance
about 1t, and feminds the reader of those
good old-fashioned burglars aud high

al taken on their hats with profound rev.
erence to the fair sex, while they have

hundreds who were aboard the General
Lyon, but twenty-eight were known to

Five OF those men were saved by the
Sedgwick, and they reported the bal
ance Of their comrades as lost. After
the lapse OF more than ten years, how
ever, one more Of the passengers of that
ill-starred vessel turns up at Guys hos
pital, London, England, and writes to
his father near Golconda, ILL.,, giving an
account OF himself. The name OF this

sailing, the vessel encountered storm

Rains leaped into the sea, and with
Lieutenant Butler clung to cabin door.
They drifted upon the pillows four days
without food or drink, and more dead
than alive, were picked up by schooner
and left on an island, where Butler died
and Rains remained ten years. In
March last he escaped aboard the Brit

taken to London, and, being sick. was
placed in Guys hospital. Application
has been made to the Secretary Of War
to have our minister at London request
ed by cable to have Rains cared for and
funds furnished him for his return
home. The stories Of Robinson Crusoe
and the hero of "Foul Play" are proba-

lures Of this gallant soldier, who, after
serving his country for more than three
years, and participating in the victories
Of the army of the west at Corinth,
Vicksburg, Mission Ridge, the Atlanta,
Savannah and South Carolina campaigns,
fed from the deck of burning ship in
mid-ooean to find refuge on the raging
sea, and, with an endurance scarcely to

be restored to his friends alter captiv-

What ID . Fly Made Fort

Mr.. Emerson, an English chemist,
whose experiments are recorded In the
Scientific American, shows the fly to be
a friend instead Of pest to mankind.
Watch fly just alighted, after soaring
about the room for some little time. He
adds:
He goes through series Of operations
which reminds you of cat licking her

undergo a like treatment; and lastly, II

carry his proboscis over his legs and
about his body as far as he can reach.
The minute trunk is perfectly retrac-
tile, and it terminates in two large lobes,
which you can see spread out when the
insect begins meal on lump OF sugar.
But for what purpose Is this careful 60

scavenger, by capturing fine specimen

On placing the slide under the instru-
