THE SIOUX WAR.

Crook and Terry. with infantry and
cavalry, have been tramplng around in
the Yellowstone region in search OF Sit
ting Bull. 1t is evident, from the fu-
tility of the search, that the bull ceased
to sit after the Custer and Rose Bud at
fairs. and incontinentally fled the neigh
borhood of his mighty achievements.

soldiers. Rumor has 1t that Sitting
Bull is thoroughly disturbed in mind
about being called white man. The
name does not suit him. He Is studying
Chinese military tactics, considering
them better adapted to Indian warfare TO
anything he has in his library and says
that Custer put on entirely too much
style for an Indian fighter,
and would have proilted by reading a
description OF Bradock's defeat. In few
words he refuted the prevailing belief
that he wore Clusters boots, and said
that he adhered with sublime faith to the
moccaslns which were the primitive

crossed our lakes thousand years ago.

five electoral votes. Didn't we get Ar
kansas the other day. with her six votes
and are we cxulting over what we knew
would be certainty. and will we make
any unnecessary row over our coming
victory in Mississippis When we take
Indiana into the Democratic fold, and
forever stop her loafing around the
Republican throne. we will illunin-
ate every Democratic house in the land,
and light up the darkness of night with
Democratic rockets. In the first battle
we took in Arkansas six electorals TO the
Republicans Vermont five, and we arc
ahead. In the State Of Indiana we spiked
the Fitzpatrick gun and drove it to New
Jersey. where it will prove useless piece
of artillery. The battle is fierce in
Indiana. the Democrats using
with great effect the ammunition
forwarded by the Chicago Times from
the little town of Fremont. Those tax
shells have dropped their pieces into every
Radical camp in the land. and the
wounded are lying around loose, in the
hands of able Democratic doctors. The
attack proved so sudden and bril-
liant that the Tilden tax assault
was entirely abandoned by the Republi.
cans to close up the breach in the
Hayes wigwam. A big Democratic
laugh is resounding throughout the land,
accompanied by the sneer ofhonesty. and
field glasses are leveled on Indiana where
the battle RACES between the lavender
kids and blue jeans.

family, LEFT the war trail and took refuge
in the Red Cloud agency. American
Hone, chief Of one of the bands at the
agency, under Instructions from the COM
handing officer of the post, attempted to
take Sioux Jim's arms from him. That

the Custer massacre, made stand against
this unnecessary and despotic measure,

HAYES DEFENSE

Hayes does not deny the discrepancies
on the Fremont books, asserting that he
followed a prevailing custom III rating
his taxable property and lands. If he
followed prevailing custom. that Gus
tom winked then with very cOnspic-
uous eye at general perjury in religious
and refined community, and appears to
have been a Ons-sided custom, very much
in the interest of the parties taxed. II
would appear to the man up
the mast, that the Republican party
acted unwiscly when it made an attack
on Uncle Samuel's character. 1t was
considered thunderbolt by the Repub-
lican managers, but turned out to be
forked lightning in the hands of the
Democrats. This expose has put Ruth
eriord B. Hayes before the people in his
true light--as perjurer for the purpose
of keeping a few dollars in his capacious
wallet, thereby throwing the burden of
taxation on the honest poor, whose
worldly goods are too small even to
admit of false oath.
The Republicans say" Proye TO us
that Hayes is perjurer, and we will take
his name from the ticket We say to
them read that which is being published
in every Democratic paper in the land
and be convinced. They reply" Those
statements are Democratic lies" But the
Republicans in Fremon. and vicinity DO
not look upon them as lies, having ex-
amined the acknowledgements that will
last, perhaps, for many years to come as
a mark of disgrace to the name OF Ruth.

The Perjury of Gov. Hayes,

II Gov. Hayes Ia an honest man in his
tax dealings with his fellow citizens. the
records at the assessors office in Sandus-
KY county do him grievous injustice. If
he has paid the taxes imposed by law
honestly. the records belle him, and he
owes it to himself and the people who
support him to have the entries clearly eX-
plained. In 1874 Gov. Hayes fell heir to
the immense fortune and estate of his
uncle, Sardis Birchard. He was ap-
pointed by the will executor, and at once
was master of every penny of the enor-
nous fortune. What evidences of the
reception of this fortune do the assessors

TIE END.
A NORWEGIAN wHALERY.

On small island opposite to the
town Of Wadso, in the extreme north
Of Norway, there exists an establish.
ment the like Of which is probably not
to be met with in any part of the
world. Its most appropriate designa.
ton would be, perhaps, slaugh-
ter-yard, for whales; and Mr..
Foyn, its proprietor, conducts the
business Of capturing and cutting up
the monsters in manner peculiarly
his own. Instead Of fitting out the
usual-s!zed vessels intended to make
long voyages, and bring home only the
most useful parts Of the animal, Mr..
Foyn employs small lone hundred and
titfyto one hundred and eighty tons
screw steamers, shoots his fish with
cannon, and has them towed back, one
by one as they are captured, TO the
shambles at Wadso. As the fishing
grounds are within easy reach Of the
latter, the steamers, as rule, secure
and return with prize within twelve
hours time. With respect to the can.
non employed, 1t is a gun having a
chamber about four feet long; this Is
mounted on the forecastle Of the yes.
sci, and, being very accurately bal
anced, can be easily moved to allow
an exact aim to be taken. The pro-
jectile in use consists Of long iron
bolt, having at its extreme end four
harpoons, bound round with q line so
as to lie fiat, and close to the har.
poons to FOUNDER shell. As soon
as the steamer has approached suffl-
GENTLY near to the fish-and whales
off that part Of the coast are not over
shy, allowing vessel to come with
In shot-the bolt Is fred of, and, II
we'll directed, penetrates deeply into
the flesh and blubber of the animal.
The whale then naturally rushes of
at furious pace, thinking thus to
elude his pursuers. Unfortunately for
him. however, no step could be moro
suicidal, for the effect Of his rapid
movement is to make the bolt slip
back little, thus setting free the
four harpoons from the lines and by
means Of mechanical arrangement
causing the she'll to explode. This
generally proves the coup de grace,
killing the fish outright; but occasion
cally the animal is not sufficiently
hard hit and its capture in that case Is
not so easily affected rs it dashes
away at q tremendous speed dragging
the steamer after II.
