SITTING BULL IN BARBER SHor.
When Bison or Sitting Bull, as he
is now called, first entered the acad
emy he had long shaggy hair and
patches Of beard on his face. Some
of the cadets put up a job on Sitting
Bull 10 this effect: One of them ask
ed him sternly why he had not his hair
cut and face shaved according to reg
ulation. lie said he did not know
of the regulation. Hewas thereupon
ordered to go to the barber shop and
be shaved. lie was directed to the
room OF Ambrose Burnside and Henry
Heth, who have since become well
known to fame. Heth was busy strap
ping q razor, and Burnside had q
towel for an apron. Sitting Bull was
informed that this was the barber
shop, and he was promptly seated in
the operating chair One side Of the
head vas closely cropped and one
side ofthe face shaved, when the drum
beat. Bison, or Sitting Bull, was in
formed that they were obliged to
unit work when the drum beat ana
he was sent forth. OF course he was
soon halted by the guard

And when Radical, black or
white, attempts to execute that death
warrant from tl.is time forth in South

When colored man has the honesty
and the manliness to come out from
among the party Of thieves and plum
derers, and vote with the men who
desire TO see South Carolina once
more a place where every man can
live at peace with his neighbor, where
every man may earn bread for lis
wife and children, knowing that while
he is toiling forit no thieves are plot
ting in the halls Of its Legislature 10
steal large part Of it from him,
such mep will be protected by the
Democracy of the State, let their
color or politics be what they may.
Such threats will not be permitted to
be carried out in South Carolina any

eight years you have driven the un-
informed men Of your race over the

This is also the year of the Presidential State and

ona in November, are of greater Importance to the
people than any event for the past hundred years In
fact the present year is to witness the triumph of the
advocates of good government or their defeat. And
defeat will be absolute ruin In such case mongrel-
ism and mscegenaton must ultimately be more or less
the curses of South Carolina. There can be but little
difference in this respect between the whites Of South
Carolina and the people Of the West Indies and the
South Anaoriea.. White State

The end Of the campaign in the
Yellowstone Valley is most impotent.
Three columns set cut early in the
Summer to drive Sitting Bull and the
Sioux across the Missouri to their
reservations. The advance OF one
column was checked in a skillnish on
the headwaters of the Rosebud, and
the cavalry OF The noythcra division
were led into a death-trap On the
Little Big Horn and butchered like
dogs. Gen. Terry on the Yellow
stone and Gen. Crook at Goose Greek
called for reeniorcements, and after
protracted delays effected Junction
on the Rosebud. Then began wild
goose chase after the Indians. The
valleys Of the Rosebud, the Tongue,
and the Powder Rivers were ran
sacked, but no Indians were found
Sitting Bull and his 'entire force had
quietly crossed The Yellowstone and
gone north. Two regiments will be
left in the valley during the Fall and
Winter, and preparations Will be
made 10 resume operations against
the Sioux early in the Spring. The
campaign, as a whole, reflects no
credit upon our array. Sitting Bull
is the only general who has won a
reputation.-New York Tribune.
The Edgefeld demonstration, which
is the key note and entering wedge
to the campaign, las struck terror to
the brave q hearts which have here
tofore SO CALAMITY led the assault
upon the State treasury and State
credit. It's effects are not confined
to Edge6eld county, but have already
spread over the whole State.-Am5o't'

Hyeless Fish that Live In Hot Water
[FrOm the TerIitorial.l.

u foth VIC 4OAiAtOAtaAsl
A most singular discovery was yesters
day made in The Savage Mine. This ie
the fading OF living fish in the water
now flooding both the Savage and Hale
u Norcross Mines. Tue tisn found were
hve la number, and were yesterday
afternoon hoisted up the incline in the
large iron hoisting TANK, aud dumped
Into the dump tank at the bottom of the
vertical shaft. the fisues are eyeless,
and are only about three or Tour inches
in length. They are blood red in color.
The temperature Of the water in whteh
they are found is 128 degrees Fahren-
heit--alinost scalding not. When the
f1sh were taken out oil the hot water in
which they were found, and placed in a
bucket of cold water, Tor the purpose of
being brought TO the surface, they died
almost instantly. The cold water at
once chilled their life-blood.
In appearance these subterranean
members Of the fnny tribe somewhat re-
semDle goldfish. They seem lively and
sportive enough while in their native hot
water, notwith standing the fact that they
have no eyes, nor even the Tudiments OF
eyes. The water by which the mines are
flooded broke in at a depth OF Jwenty-two
hundred feet In DRIFT that was being
pushed to the northw ward in the Savage.
1t rose in the mine-also in the Hale and
Norcross, the two mines being connect
| ed-to the height OF four hundred feet;
that is, up TO The eighteen hundred foot
| level. This would seem to prove that q
great subterranean reservoir or lake has
been tapped, and from this lake doubt
less came the fish hoisted from the mine
last evening.
| Eyeiess fishes are frequently found In
the lakes of large caves, but We nave
never before heard OF taeir existence IN
either surface or subterranean water
the temperature of which was SO high as
is the water in these mines. The ioWer
4 workings of the Savage mine are tar be-
low the bed Of the Carson River, below
the bottom of the Washoe Lake-below
1 the mine.

Cookery.


One of the mysteries of the world
is why some nations cook execrably
and others delectably. Who can ac-
count for the culinary genions of the
French? Some have endeavored to ex-
plain it through the long occupation
of Gaul by the Romans; bat the Ro-
mans occupied everywherr, and we
know that the cooking Is not good
everywhere. There would seem to
be an innate genious for cooking
among the French, just as there is
for other arts among the Italians.
1t will be a great day for this cOun-
try when it is educated in this mat
ter. We are greatly improved, and
the abominable pie, which brings so
bideous train of horrors in its wake
is becoming less and less in request.
But each summer the ebb of the cul-
mary art among US is brought viviIdy
t. miad and body when we adven-
ture beyond the very best beaten
track of travel. New England car
ries off the palm of badness, and it5is
puzzling to account for this. The
meat, to be palatable and digestible,
should be tender, is a fact rarely re-
cognized by Yankee hosts, and that
there are stomachs from which
greasy check table cloths take away
appetite they do not all comprehend.
The traditions of good homely fare
seem to have been almost forgotten
among them. \ foreigner in Yer
mont arriving at a country hotel af-
ter a long coach journey, was told,
supper, oh, certainly you can have
supper" and presently found himself
in long dining room, lit by a single
malOdorious petroleum lamp, at
table beSpotted with the debris of
coarse meal. Presently the hungry
wretch was supplied with a ghastly
burlesque of supper in the form of
under baked apple pie and dough
nuts, to be washed down by 4 horrid
decoction of straw and hot water,
which passed by the name of tea.
In French rural town, under such
circumstances, he would have had
soup, delicious outlet, fried pota-
