The whaling bark Florence has arrived at
San Francisco from the Arctic ocean, with 100
men on board, being part Of the crews Of the
Arctic whaling fleet, twelve of which she re-
ports lost in the ice, with a portion of the
crews. The remaining survivors have gone to

master that no hope can be obtained OF

In the trial of Cote, ex-cashier Of the
Jacques Cartier Bank, at Montreal. the evidence
has developed an astonishing condition of
things. 1t is shown that the accounts of the
bank have been falsifed and the returns to the
Government misrepresented to the amount
OF 80, 731, 1872. This enormous fraud was
rendered easy Of preparation by the
peculiar circumstances Of the case.
Romauld Trudeau, President of the
bank, is man 70 years old and so blind that
he could just manage to sign his name, but
could not see to read a line or figure in the
statements and accounts rendered to him by
the cashier. The latter enjoyed the entire
confidence of the sightless old President who
signed whatever was brought to him. 1t is no
great wonder that there was discrepancy"
of nearly $3,OO0,0O0.

The Earth Cure.

In 184S there lived at South Shields,
England, a laboring man named Dickin-
son, a native of the village of Coniscliffe,
near Darlington. He was afflicted with
paralysis, which for some years had Grip
pied his limbs, and deprived him of the
use of the left side of his body. One
day, as he was slowly crawling along the
street, he met with an elderly we'll
dressed man, who stated that he was
physician from Edinburgh, and he, on
hearing of Dickinson's case, advised
him to return to his native village, and
have himself covered up with earth,
which operation would cure him. The
poor fellow, nothing doubling, dragged
himself on foot to Coniscliffe, where he
persuaded an old acquaintance to assist
him in temporarily burying himself.
They proceeded to the Tees-side, where
Dicbinson's friend, with his spade, dug
hole in the ground, in which the pa
tent was to lie for four hours. Dickinson
stretched himself in the excavation, with
his head only at the outside, and soil
was heaped upon him to the depth of
two feet. At the expiration of quarter
of an hour the patient broke out into
profuse perspiration, and an intense pain
at the same time attacked his left side,
loin and leg. Notwithstanding the agony
he endured, he remained thus till the
expiration of the allotted time. The man
who buried him, seeing him turn "black
in the face" and fearing he would die,
would have released him sooner, but
Dickinson would not consent. The sick
man, when the earth was taken off him,
arose and walked away with an active
step. cured of his disease. This remedy
for sickness is an old one and Dampier,
the voyager, attacked by illness in the
East Indies, was, at his own request,
buried to the neck in the earth until his
pain abated.-Darlington (Eng.) Times.

The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has re-
ceived a letter from Gen. Mitchell, dated
Fort Peck, Montana, conveying the intelligence
that Sitting Bull asks permission for his war
riors to come into that agency to trade for
ammunition.
Another military movement of amysterious
character is announced from the Indian coun-
try. Gen. Sturgis with eight companies OF
cavalry is moving southwark on the east side
of the Missouri river, and Gen. Terry with
four companies is advancing in the same direc-
ton on the opposite side Of the <iver. The
object of the maneuvre Is unknown to any but
the commanding officers, and they preserve the
customary retioence.
A distressing accident is reported from East
Saginaw, Mich. A small boat containing six
men and a boy while crossing the river, sud-
denly filed within thirty feet of the shore and
five of the occupants were drowned. Their
names were Hermann Knapp, John Caesar,
Charles Bluhm; Fred Smith and John Smith.
All were laboring men, and four leave families.
Gen. Crook has accomplished an important
military feat. Having got wind Of the move
ment of Red Clouds band of hitherto quiet
sioux, with a then intention of joining the
hostile bands of the north, sent eight compa-
mics OF the Fourth Cavalry in pursuit, sur
rounding and capturing the entire outfit, I"
including 800 lodges. Red Cloud was then
deposed from his chiefship, and the peaceful
Spotted Tail appointed to his place.

DOMESTIC NEWS.
East.

The New York Ecening Post of the 18th
says: 1.-THE warlike rumors from the East,
with the probabilities that the European power
may become involved in Turkeys troubles, had
marked effect on Wall street and the mer-
chandise market this morning, all having been
thrown into the greatest excitement. In the
gold room the scene has been without par
allel for years. Boisterous and excited brokers
bid for any amount at almost any price, and
purchases which opened at 1104 rapidly car
RED the price up to 1877. Yesterday morning
gold opened at 1O9114, 80 that in two days the
price advanced fully per cent. So large an
advance in 30 short time has not occurred
since the great panic Of 1873. From 1881
there was a fall to I'LL and the price has re-
NAMED steady between Ill and 112. There
was an advance of to cents on wheat during
the day."
At Philadelphia, on the 18th, the Society Of

Singular Accident.

A very singular accident took place in
Paris the other day. A lady. well known
in Partisan society, was on her way to
the Bots de Bologne, driving herself, as
is her custom, two spirited black horses
attached to low carriage. Not far
from the Arc de Triomphe a servant in
livery passed her, leading q large and
magnificent Russian bloodhound. On
seeing the lady, the dog, with one sud
den effort, broke loose from his guard
ian, sprang into the carriage, and COM
menced caressing its occupant with We
hement caresses. The lady, thus taken
by surprise, lost her hold of the reins,
the horses took fright and started off on
a run, and in a few moments the car
riage was overturned. The lady and her
footman were both good deal hurt,
though not dangerously SO, while as to
the poor dog who had been the unwit-
ting cause of the whole disaster, he was
killed on the spot. In answer to the in
terrogatories of the police the lady
stated that the dog had formerly be-
longed to her, but that he had been
stolen from her some months before.
AS to the servant who had the dog in
charge, he was nowhere to be found.

Mysterious Disappearance.

Some three weeks since a gentleman
named Britton arrived In this city
from Illinois and registered at the
Crutchfield House. For several years
he has spent his winters in the South,
for his health, being afflicted with q
pulmonary complaint. He was a
quiet, unobtrusive gentleman, paid his
bills promptly,a and seemed pleased with
our city receiving, as he thought, great
benefit from our mild and invigorating
climate. A few days age he suddenly
disappeared, and no tidings of his
whereabouts have since been heard.
He spoke to no one in regard to leav-
ing, but had frequently been heard to
remark that he would remain here for
several weeks, and his disappearance,
therefore, appears to be rather myster.
rious. 1t is supposed by some that he
was decoyed out of the city and foully
dealt with. 1t would be well enough
for the authorities TO investigate the
matter.

OuT OF WHOLE CLOTH.
A Finely Wrought ROmance, Hut Not
Founded on Fact,

THS HERALD of yesterday contained
nm article copied from the ~, Louis
Globe-Democrat, and which originally
appeared in the Jefferson City (Mlssou-
ri) Tribune, detailing, in rather graph
&c style, the circumstances of how u
prominent bank in Dallas had been
swindled by some sharpcrs out OF ten
thousand dollars. Although no names
were mentioned, the location given In
the story sufficiently designated
Messrs. Adams Il Leonard as the firm
yictlmlzed to any one at all acquainted
with the locate of the city. 1t is felt to
be the duty Of this journal TO print
what Is said about Dallas, and II 1t he
false and slanderous, u prompt and
earnest disavowal should speak the lie
to silence. The object in giving pub
Lefty TO the article In question was to
afford the Telegraph Company SO UNI
justly slandered an opportunity to vim
dicate it's officers, and we feel assured
that the Telegraph Company, as well
MS Messrs. Adams Il Leonard and the
citizens of Dallas generally, will appre-
cate the motive. Two powerful and
widely circulated papers outside of the
State have given widespread circula-
ton to this report, which in all prob
ability would never have received the
merted contradiction had ii been ex-
cluded from the columns of our Journal.
A reporter of The HERALD yesterday
called upon Mr.. J. S. Burton, manager
of the telegraph office here, who gave
an emphatic denial to the whole story.
"The statement said he, "ls wholly
without foundation, ms nothing of the
kind has ever happened here, or any
thing that could give rise to such n re-
port. No operators have been dis
charged and no such messages received
or sent.n A visit to Captain s. j. Adj
ans, of the bank referred to, also failed
to subslantiate the story in the slight
est particular, and thus, through the
efforts of THE HERALD, the whole af-
fair is shown to be wicked and UNI
just sensation, without the semblance
of truth. Even had the story as de-
tailed been true, while it might have
possibly retlectedupon theirshrewdness
as business men, it could in no wise
affect their standing rs sober and sub
stantial capitalists. No intimation
was given that the loss would affect
the bank in the slightest, the writer
we'll knowing, as do the citizens ofDal-
las, that the loss Of several times that
amount could in no wise impair the
financial standing of the banking house
of Adams & Leonard.
