carried Henry rifle on the occasion
alluded to and shot the ears off the first
poor Bunny he saw. This naturally

SITTING BULL THE VICTOR.

SITTING BULL THE VICTOR.
The end Of the campaign in the yell

colamns set out 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 q
skirmish on the headwaters OF the Rose.
bud, and the cavalry of the northern
division were led into death trap on
the Little Big Horn and butchered ike
dogs. Gen. Terry on the Yellowstone,
and Gen. Crook at Goose Greek, called
for reinf oroements, and after protrac..ssdd
delays effected a junction on the Rose
bud. Then began wild-goose chase
after the Indians. The valleys of the
Rosebud, the Tongue, and the Powder
rivers were ransacked, but no Indians
we're found. Sitting Bull and his entire
force had quietly crossed the Yellow
stone and gone north. Two regiments
will be left in the valley during the fall
ard winter, and preparations viii be
made to resume operations against the
Sioux early in the spring. The cam
paign, as whole, reflects no credit upon
our army. Sitting Bull is the only Gen
eral who has won reputation.-Ne,U

THE NEW SULTAN.

The recent dispatch from Constantine
pie stating that the Cabinet Council was
resolved to depose the present Sultan
Murad, and place Abdul Hamid in his
position, invests the latter with a tran
sient interest. He was born in 1912,
and is the second son of Abdul Mediid
Khalif. His mother died young, and
his father gratifed him in all his wishes.
He commenced harem life early, but
having stronger constitution than his
brother Murad, his excuses have notseri-
ously impaired his health. He is not a
drunkard nor spendthrift. has one wife
in chief, and owns several oda!isques.
He is an orthodox Turk, cordially hates
the Greeks, performs his religious rites
punctiliously, knows a little French,
has a fancy for collecting stuffed monkeys
and -cockatoos. and will probably make
as good Sultan rs any other Turk
the demand for any particular Sultan
being shortrliyed in Constantinople.-

A TOUCHING TALE.

He was a seedy-looking individual,
and as he stood upon the corner gazing
wistfully at the disappearing form Of q
newsboy who had just picked up good
sized stump and was making off with
the prize. there was vague aspect OF
despair in his attitude which was very
touching. Perhaps it was this which at
tracted the attention of q mild boxing
party who was passing by, and perhaps
it was something else; but however this
may be, the mild looking party stopped,
and, gazing at the solitary figure, adj
dressed it thus:
"Old man, wouldn't you like to have
a drink this morning?"
You've read me as accurately as
though my thoughts were printed on an
open page, !" replied the solitary, taking
his quid from his mouth and passing a
dilapidated coat-sleeve over his lips"
ST thought so," murmured the mild
looking party, while tear trickled down
his cheek; "lut conquer the desire.
Fight it as you would a legion Of devils,
for drink has ruined many man who
had more expansive forehead than
you've got!"
And then the mild-looking party con-
tinued on his way, and the solitary gazed
dreamily into space and communed with
himself. Louisville Argus.

THE H4KyEsT IN FRANCE.

lHE HAA GDl In EhdNCE. -
In the neighborhood of Paris the
greater part Of the crops have been
gathered. Farmers, not usually an OPP
.timist race of men, declare that this
years harvest is one of the finest within
living memory. It is expected that the
yield viii be even more abundant than
last year, though the harvest OF 1875 has
not often been rivaled. Since the war
Providence has been very kind to France
in this respect, and though the haryests
have not quite paid off the indemnity,
as some enthusiasts would have us be-
lieve, they have certainly helped to rem
der a fine of two hundred millions ster-
ling as light an inficion rs it can DO
under any circumstances. = In France, !"
said Voltaire, "the sun repairs the mis-
chief done by the inhabitants. And
yet with an imperial taxation of $780,
10000 for the present year, to say
nothing OF local burdens, and the pros
pect of an annual increase in national
expenditure for an indefinite period Of
time, some French financiers are des-
pondent enough to take somewhat
gloomy view Of the political future.
They maintain that splendid harvest is
not So much a piece Of good fortune to
France as almost . necessity to enable
her to meet her obligations SO that if
the views Of these gentlemen we're
accepted as correct, hailstorm next
June might be regarded as the sure pre-

ii BONANZA INDEED.

s4 One Of the workmen engaged in exca 1
,yating for the foundation Of Gal Martins
new building on First steet, near the
express Office, this morning, struck his
spade against q substance not usually
met in the loan here Astounding, and a
moment later the deliver brought to light
the neck Of . huge earthen jar Of very
primitive style. This vessel, which is
now on exhibition at Georges saloon, is
about the size Of a lager beer key, and,
when uncorked BY its lucky discoverer,
was found to be full Of solid gold mug,
gets and dust Is pure as ever came from
Dutch Flat or Sacramento. How much
the treasure troye amounts to is not yet
ascertained, but the generous discoverer
felt that there was enough in it to make
himself and q dozen comrades comforta-
BILE for the rest of their days, he having
at once divided the spoil with them.
When the gold shall have been weighed,
q banker on Ell Dorado street remarked
that he thought it would realize at least
half a million. This was the cause of
the rush Of the people to the new mine
to-day, and hundreds offered their ser
vices to Mr.. Martin to dig the balance
Of his cellar for what they can make.
An alderman went so far as to tender q
bonusfor this privilege, and others made
equally extravagant propositions, but
whether they will be accepted or not we
are unable to say. At last accounts the
city constabulary we're stationed in front
of the diggings to keep the mob from
undermining adjacent buildings in the
search for more jugs of the metal. The
pot found is supposed to have been
buried by an old alcalde, who lived here
in the middle Of the last eeatary-S.::

LIFE ON TIE EARrH.

Prof. P. g. TAFT, Of the University Of
Edinburgh, in his lectures on recent
advances in physical science, lately pub
ished, considers the question how long
life has been possible On the earth. He
concludes that ten millions Of years is
the utmost that can be allowed from
the physical point OF view for all the
changes that have taken place on the
earth's surface since vegetable life Of
the lowest known form was capable of
existing there" Opposed to this is the
view Of the most eminent modern geolo-
gists, that at least three hundred mil
lions Of years have passed away since
terrestrial life began.

A SICK SPIRIT.

For several months past the good peo-
pie of Portland, Me-, have been startled
and some of them enraptured with the
doings of certain Katy King, whose
marvellous feats III the naturalization
business became source of general
comment and CT much eredulity. Night
after night she sat in her little "cabi-
net" in the corner Of her parlor and
summoned before the curtain the de-
parted friends Of those who assembled
to see her, receiving as reward for the
work she did the sum Of SO each night.
Some weeks ago two members of the
medical profession, who had openly ex-
pressed their incredulity, were invited
to sitting. Accordingly they went, and
between themselves devised a means
of disclosing what they we're perfectly
satisfied was complete fraud. Atone
end of the;cabinet, which was formed in a
corner of the room by suspending cur
tain from wall to wall, sat one of the
doctors, very near the seat Of the me-
dunn, who was behind the curtain. At
the other end sat the second physician,
and soon esprit :" appeared and
clasped him by the hand. he closed
his hand tightly upon hers, not letting
her go, when the other medical gentle
man pulled aside the curtain and found
the medium gone. The spirit shrieked
out, "For heavens sake let me got"
in the voice Of the medium, and, to the
CONSERVATION Of those present, the meet
ing suddenly adjourned the medium
left to dress and recover herself, and on
the following days, when the doctors
called to see her, they were at once in
formed that she was sick and could not

"Yo,sr Way Lies There"

In Germany, several hundred years
ago, on fine day in spring, a boy was
sitting on stone near a plowed field,
tending his fathers cattle. In his hand
he held stout stick, and at his feet
lay his good dog Max.
The boys name was Hermann Bill
ings. As be sat there on the stone, he
saw party Of knights on horseback
draw near. They were richly clad and
Hermann admired their appearance very
much. One of them in particular was
of very noble aspect, and seemed to take
the lead. 5'a @ --.s
"Let us go to that house," said this
man, pointing to the dwelling Of Her
mann's father. Now, the nearest ap-
proach to the house was over the
plowed field !; and, as he spoke, the no.
BILE rider turned his horse in thot direc-
ton, and the other knights were quick
to follow his lead.
But Hermsnn sprang before him !;
while Max, the good dog, stood by to
help. If necessary. "Your way lies
there" said Hermann, grasping his stick,
and pointing to travelled road. "You
must not cross this plowed field ; it is
private property, and sowed with seed"
'sAnd VINO are you that would teach
us manners, and lay down the law to
usg" said the leader Of the knights.
81 am Hermann Billings" replied the
boy; sand I am here to see to my
fathers cattle, and project his plowed
field. No one must cross it /; no, not
even the Emperor" .-.~ "'.., Sc
Then the noble rider rose proudly in
his saddle, bent on the boy stern glance
and said, "The Emperor it is, who
speaks to you, rash boy. Make room
for him; this jest has gone far enough. !"
"a" I can well believe thou art the EN-
peror," said the lad, "for thou dost
look it. Yet no, thou canst not be the
good Emperor Otto; for he stands up
for law and right, and sees to it that the
strong and proud do not wrong the poor
and weak. Wherever bis rule extends
there is justice done. Bat thou wouldst
tread with the foot of the spoiler
on my fathers plowed field, which
he has sowed with much labor and
sweat" -z
Forth sprang two or three of the
knights to seize the bold boy, and pun
ish him on the spot for speaking thus to
the Emperor; but the latter cried, Hold
there! Lay not the weight of finger
on the lad" -@ s~
Then, silently, turning his horse away
from the plowed field, the emperor
took the travelled road and the rest fol-
lowed him to the house of Hermann's
parents. .s.- -rr.
When Hermanun went home, he
found them there, partakipg of refresh
ments. The good Emperor, seeing him
at the door, drew him in by the hand,
and said to the boys father, "Send the
lad to ne, Billings. This Saxon twig I
must plant near my throne, so that it
shall grow to noble tree. In this boy
I see man."
And so Hermann went with the EN-
peror, and became one of his bravesr
generals and most trusted friends. He
lost nothing, you see, by standing up
boldly for law and right.
