"Thafs FoWs.rL"ToOdle," little
poodle, belonged to Mrs. p, of Cincin-
natl. This lady was in the habit of
talking to her favorite, and thought
from the roll of his eye, the wag of his
tail and the expressive movements of
his ears that he knew what she was
talking about. One day, on her return
home, after an absence of some hours,
"ToOdle- came to her whining and
looking very sOrrOwful. She asked,
What's the matterf" At which he
pulled her skirt, then ran to the maid
servant and barked. This he repeated
several times, then it occurred to Mrs.
p. that the girl, who was not fond OF
animals, might have ill-treated TOO
die" in her absence, and she said '-Lu-
cinda, you have been doing something
to the dog; you have been abusing
him :" at which the dog gave several
emphatic "bow-wows,r that his miss
tress interpreted by "Yes. that's what
wanted to tell you" The lady re-
buked her maid. threatening to dismiss
her if "TOodle" again complained OF
i'll treatment, at which she replied

said the rat-trap to the old cat, who lay
doing before the fire. "Here am at
work, day after day, and night after
night, and I've caught rats without

larder, for the mice take no more notice
of you than if you were stuffed, like
Toby, and they know it. Really,

Tom got on his legs. arched his back
very high, stuck out his tail, and gave a
tremendous yawn.
"What are you talking about 7" he
asked at last. -
The rat-trap began his Grafton over

"Shut up said Tom; ''it's quite Of

FORT FETTERMAN, Nav 2,

FORT FETTERMAN, May %.
After four days march from Fort
Laramie, over the old Salt Lake trail,
on the north bank of the North Platte,
the Fort Russell column of the Big
Horn expedition, under Col. Royal,
arrived this noon. The march was
devoid of incident, no fresh Indian
signs being discovered. Capt. Noyes'
cavalry command reached here to-day,
and Maj. Burt's infantry command
yesterday.
Companies c and G of the 3rd Cav
airy, under Capt. Van Vliet, were sent
out this afternoon by Gen. Crook, who
is now here, with orders to proceed to
Powder river, s5 miles northwest of
here, and meet 800 Crow Indian scouts
and guides. which have been engaged
by Gen. Crook to accompany the ex-
pedition. If the Crows fail to Join the
expedition at the place agreed upon it
is feared that the Sioux will attack
and drive them back to their agency.
This detachment is expected to reach
the Crows in four days.
Sergeant Carr. of the 2nd Cavalry,
with nine men and Frank Gruard for
guide. was sent north a few days ago
by Gen. Crook to select ford on the
Powder river, but the squad, after pro-
ceeding 20 miles. turned back, on
account of the proximity of numerous
hostile bands, the country being fairly
covered with rowing war parties.
Delay has been occasioned by the
stoppage of ferry communication be-
tween here and the north bank, but
Gen. Crook now expects to leave here
with his entire command on Monday
afternoon, and proposes to join Capt.
Van Vliet, on the Powder. by Friday
or Saturday next, moving from there
against the Indians, very large force
of whom are said to be waiting there
to receive us warmly.

BLAINE AGAIN SLANDERED.

The Fdlsity of the Charge Shown.
New York, May 27.-The Sun to-
day published n letter purporting tie
have been written by Blaine to w.
Fisher, of Boston, offering Fisher a
large interest in the Northern Pacific
for 5000. Parties here, familiar
with the Northern Pacific II. r. Co.'S
organization, claim that if Blaine pur-
chased the interest as charged by the
Sun, it was as legitimate a transac-
ton as the purchase of government
bonds would hove been. Jay Cook &
Co. obtained the S., ,000, 900 for organ
izing the company. making a pool
divided into twenty-four shares. The
members of the pool subscribed to the
bonds to an amount equal to their
proportion in the pool, paying for the
bonds at par In money. They also,
for their proportionate shares of an
additional 5000, 900. received as bonus
a large interest in the stock Of the Co.,
to be issued rs the road was built, its
value depending on the success in
building the road from the proceeds Of
bonds and land sales. The arrange
ment was in no sense a gratuity,
bu: the result of offers made to raise
within the specified time the $780,
600 that were indispensable to the sue
cessful initiation Of the enterprise.
Ex-Speaker Blaine, in reply to in
quiries concerning the article in the
New York Sun of to-day, said: "Some
six or seven years ago some friends
of mine in Boston desired to make a
small investment in the Northern
Pacific enterprise, and as the Vice.
President of the road, Hon. r. ID.
Rice, was near neighbor of mine, in
Augusta, it was thouhgt that 1 might
find out where and how purchase
could be made. In one or two in
stances heard of interests being for
sale, but nothing was done. Finally,
in the autumn of 1870, a definite inter-
est was for sale and it was brought to
my attention with very glowing and
extravagant accounts of its prospective
profits. AS it was a road chartered
by Congress deriving its franchise and
liable at any time to apply to Congress
for future favors, did not myself
entertain for a moment the idea of
becoming interested in it. but as these
friends had been wishing such an
investment, and as they had the same
rights that any other private citizen
had to own in the enterprise, I con-
municated the facts to them precisely
as they had been given to me. A few
days after l was notified that they
would be glad to purchase, and GER
tificate Of deposit or cashiers check
for $25 900 was placed in my hands,

WASHINGTON.
The Alaska Matter.

Washington, May 27.-The sub
committee of the ways and means
committee have prepared their report
on TIE testimony taken concerning
the Alaska Commercial Co. and the
manner in which 1t obtained the lease
of the fur seal islands. They arrived at
the conclusion that Secretary Bout
wells award of the lease was prop
erly made and that it should be sus-
tanned. The report was prepared by
Fernando Wood and Ben. Hill. and is
signed by Representatives Burchard,
Kelly and Chaplin. the other members
of the subcommittee of five which
conducted the investigation. 1t exon
crates the Treasury Department and
the company in very explicit terms
from all charges of improper conduct,
fraud or Encouragement.
The Chinese Question.
The committee on commerce have
authorized Piper to make strong
report favoring a joint resolution re-
questing the President to negoti-
ate an additional article into the
Burlingame treaty, substantially as
follows: "The United States do hereby
reserve the right to regulate, restrict
or prevent the emigration of Chinese
subjects into the United States except
for commercial pursuits, and recipro-
cally, the Emperor of China does re-
serve the right to regulate or prevent
the emigration of citizens of the
United States into China except for
commercial purposes This PROPOSE
ton differs from the original in ex-
empting from the restriction clause all
Chinese emigrants who come for COM
mercial pursuits. This was the only
form-in which the committee would
sanction the proposition. 1t is subject
to some objection, for fear of being
subject to evasion by strained inter-
pretation.
Corruption Charged against Kerr.
A story telegraphed hence last night
that Speaker Kerr was charged with
corruptly accepting sum of money
for obtaining the appointment of
Lieut.. Green in the regular army in
1868, became current on the floor of
the House to-day, and produced most
painful feeling. The members of the
Clymer committee were applied to by
many members of the House to ascer-
tain the nature of the disclosures
made to them, but they were very
reticent. Kerr positively denies the
truth of the report to his friends, and
says he has done nothing TO compro-
mise his honor. An important wit
ness who is alleged to have paid the
money directly to Kerr was expected
here to-day TO testify before Clymer's
committee. but he failed to arrive. 1t
is due to Kerr to say that the story
finds but few believers even among
Republicans, although it has caused
much excitement.
