SUNDAYS in Edinburgh.

The wandering New Highlander finds
no Sundays more to his heart than those
he spends in Edinburgh. No street
cars are running. The cabs are in the
stables. The gin shops are closed. The
pedestrians who throng the streets as
the day wears on, and swarm into
Queens p rk and over Cation Hill and
Arthur's Seat, are CHEEKY of face and
busy of tongue, but sober and orderly!
Toward night High street is full of peo-
pie who pour into it from the six, eight,
ten-storied tenement houses on the
neighboring wynds aid closes. Street
preachers and Bible women discourse to
e7er-shifting groups. Morning and
evening the tide sets into the churches.
There is no other such church-going
people as the Scotch. I should think
that nine-tenths of the church goers
were Presbyterians. In the rural dis
tricts, at least, everybody knows the
catechism, everybody can sing the old
psalm tunes, every cottage has its Bible

INDIAN WAR.
Its Actual COmmencement-Gen. Crook
on the War Path.


the War Path.
A letter from Fort Laramie says: The
Indian war for years predicted has act
ually begun. For months numbering of
white men has been confined to the
Black Killers, but now United States
mail carrier, en- route to Camp Robinson
and Red Cloud agency, has been killed,
scalped, and fearfully mutilated.
This news was brought here to-day by
Gen. Crooks party, returning from the
agencies. Well-informed persons in In
dian affairs say, in fact, that this attack
was intended for the General, as it o.
CURED only fifteen minutes after that
party and his had passed each other on
the road.
Gen. Crook, accompanied by Col.
Stanton and Lieut.. Bourke, had been to
the agencies trying to obtain the assist
ance of the peaceful Indians in subduing
the hostile bands of Sioux. At first, it
seemed this much-desired object was Sc
cured. Such chiefs as Conquering Bear
and Sitting Bull or Two Strike stating
in council their willingness to join In
keeping peace on the frontier and put
ting down numbering and stealing by
dog-soldiers, renegades, .Cheyennes, and
bad-faces.
This council was held in the absence
of Agent Hastings and Indian Inspector
Vandevere. On their return total
change OF sentiment took place. The
chiefs iusolently declined all offers by
Government officers to help police these
plains. The sudden chopping round, it
is said, is due to the secret influences OF
Hastings and Vandevere. It is to be
hoped so serious charge is not true, for
it would otherwise seem as If they did not
desire the Northern bands to be pun
ished and made to acknowledge the au-
thority of the Government to put them
on reservations.
AS soon as the Indians became inso-
lent, Gen. Crook broke up the council
with a brief "That will do. I don't
want you" This may be the occasion
of the premed1tated attack, which failed
in its original design, but the fact that
Red Clouds son-in-law was wounded
while attacking party of whites on In
dian creek, and other evidences, point
to the conclusion that, if the Indians
leave the agencies, the military will be
unable to protect settlers.
Every party arriving here from the
Black Hills bring additional news of an
other killing by Indians from the agen-
cies. To-day news is received of Jim
Sanders and four others, killed on Sand
creek. Sanders was an old plainsman,
having been a guide, hunter, wagon
master, and contractor for the Govern
ment before Gen. Harney's time.
Eighty lodges of Ogallajas have left
the Red Cloud agency to join the war.
This is thought to be only forerunner
of general exodus of all but the old
men, quaws and children.
Col. Stanton held council for Gen.
Crook with Spotted Tail, Chief of the
Brules, about Indian scouts for AN expe-
dition. Old "Spot" replied that he
had made big name as warrior when
q young man. but now he was old and
did not want any more glory, and his
young men could not fight without him.

Products Of Different countries.

In the Main building there is already
more to see than would occupy several
days of time, if proper attention were
given to it. Switzerland has one of the
most complete and interesting depart
ments, and next to that Belgium. In
the latter section there are wonderful
models of a mantel- piece carved in white
oak and brass mounted, and sideboard.
It is all hand-work, and the mantel-piece
contains brass CRATE and fittings, and
is surmountcd by a mirror in frame of
carved oak. On either side of the man
tel-piece are lions heads, with open
mouths, holding brass rings, and lions
heads are repeated throughout the set,
which includes large chair and cab
met. The sideboard is ornamented with
birds, game, fruits, and the like. The
whole has already been purchased by
gentleman in New York for his own resi-
dence.

quantity and quality, which I have not

I never realized before coming here
the sacredness of the stomach. [ have
often observed people bowling down be-
fore it, but not as before shrine
er as an outward expression of intestinal
pain, or an effort to be relieved from the
gripings caused by eating green apples
and such. In Philadelphia, however,
they not only build monuments to Epi-
Gurus, but they honor them by eating
and drinking over their graves. Nearly
every house in the city about which clus-
ter any hallowed associations, or with
which any of the great men of the past
were ever connected, has been turned
into restaurant. Did you ever hear of
such funny idea9 Nor is this due to
any ephemeral hope of gain during the
Centennial season, almost all of them
having descended to this use years ago.
The most recent occurrence of this kind,
and the one which suggested my text,
has been the transformation of the Edwin
Forest mansion into beerery. Every
night the orchestra of Theodore Thomas
performs there, and thousands of people
flock to hear the music, and to eat and
drink and be merry. Right down In the

Compared with vienna and Paris.

IaKon as q W1Olo, the Har1S EXPOSE
ton of 1867 was far behind this; and, in
the same way, and with certain hmita-
tons. we are ahead of the Vienna We'll
taustellung of 1873. The arrangement
d the buildings is more satisfactory
than was that at Vienna, as it places the
various departments where there is no
possible danger that they will be con-
founded. In point of picturesqueness,
we are far ahead of both Paris and
Vienna. In Paris there was absolutely
no picturesqueness so far as scenery was
concerned. The buildings were erected
on the dead level of the Champ de Mars,
without an elevation larger than the
mound at the entrance of fox's den.
True, there was some artificial scenery
around the base of the lighthouse, and
in few other places; but it was so man
ifestly artificial that novice could de-
there was also level, or nearly so;
there were some undulations, but they
were neither numerous nor marked.
The best of them was near the Russian
restaurant and the American wigwam,
where some of the old trees of the Prater
had been left in valley, that formed a
very pleasant retreat where one could
sit of hot afternoon and sip the cooling
cobbler or the soothing julep from the
hand of an American bartender who
kept watch and ward in the famous wig
wan. But, with this and few other ex-
captions, the grounds of the Vienna Ex-
hibition derived their beauty almost en-
tirely from the arrangement of the build
ings, and the bits of garden and foun-
tain work, with the backing of grand old
trees beyond the fences. Here we have
pretty section of the Paramount park,
with undulations frequent and irregular,
and with bits of forest, and garden, and
open lawn, scattered with the apparent
carelessness of nature. The view from
the front of Horticultural hall is prettier
in scenic way than anything in the
Vienna grounds, and one who walks
about and uses his eyes may find lots of
views just as pretty. Instead of one
great mass and clump of buildings, we
have them scattered around irregularly;
and from certain points we can look at
them through such an empowering of
trees as to render them slightly shadowy
and indistinct. My impression is, that
we have made an exhibition as good, In
a general, as that of Vienna; we have
not as great variety in the matter of
products of all nations as had Vienna,
but we have many things that were not
represented at Vienna at all, or were in
sufficiently shown. The American Sec
ton is better than the Austrian or any
other section at Vienna; and think the
English section is better here than it
was there. The English colonies are
better represented here than at Vienna,
and the same is the case with the Sand
wich Islands. But France, Italy, and
Germany do not appear as well repre-
sented; and Russia-owing to an acct
dent to the ship which sailed with her
goods-has not put SO much as a knout
or 6. wolf-skin where we can look at it.
