HOTEL ARHIS AIS.

HE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
were in session yesterday. Some draw
ings of plan for new Jail were sub
1nit.ed by Commissioner Meder. i is
TO be hoped that these or some other
plans may soon be adopted and the new
Jail built at as early day as possible.
We had hoped that the county building
would be sold outright and = new Court
house and Jail erected; but i that can
not be done let the county have the next
best thing. namely. a new jail. We be-
ieve that in the plans submitted there is
a fire-proci vault wherein may be de-
posted the archives Of the county. Any
how, there might well be.

SHOOTING AFFRAI Al NHEE1I'AN. Jas.
horaty, a NAN who has been IL the enl-
plov Of Lutte Odds tor several vear-, shot
and probably mnrtaiiv wounded Indian
Charley at Sheridan last Sunday evening.
The account Of the atlray as reported to
ns is this Charley had been working for
Nathan X Harris, had during the time
he was employed by them stolen liquor
and secreted it, and on sunday last be-
came intoxicated. This is Iii. own ac-
count Of the matter. During the after
noon lie made several hostile demoustra-
tons by sticking a large knife into the
door Of the store near the head and
shoulders of Mahala. seemingly TO
Brighten her. He was finally persuaded
TO go TO Ben Farmer :, the place whsre
be was then working. twas but short
time after when he came back 10 the
stree. and the door being fastened t. keep
him out, he commenced cutting the sash
with his knife and breakIn. the glass.
Nj. Harris went to the door. opened 1t.
and stepped quickly back ont Of his way.
The moment Charley entered he seized
his gun. which he had left standing near
the door, placed it to his sLolider. and
was about to aim at Mr.. y 4tlau. who was
standing with Mr.. Morsty aud several
others near the stove, few feet distant.
Aoraty. noticing the movement, caught
up Gun which was near him and fired,
the charge taking effect in the Indians
LETT side, just below the shoulder. As the
Indian turned partially around he fired
tie other barrel. which took effect in the
back and beneath the right shoulder blade.
These are the particulars of the shooting
as We have heard them. No particular
cause is known for the assault by the In
dian other than the crazy effects Of whis-
Ky. Noraty was arrested and had an eN-
animation before Justice Payne at Sheri-
dan yesterday, and was acquitted. The
reports last evening were that IN. indian
would not live until morning. Carson

Reading by Subjects,

But perhaps you don't know how to read by
subjects. Let me tell you. Suppose you see
an allusion to something that interests you
say Sir Walter Raleigh; look for his name in
an encyclopedia or biographical dictionary,
(Which you will find in every tolerable village
library.) Reading of him, you will become
interested in Queen Elizabeth; look her up, in
the same books, and in English history; OBJ
serve the noted men of her reign, look them up,
read their lives, read historical novels and
poems of her times; look at the table of con-
tents of magazines and reviews and read essays
on the subject. You see the way open before
you. Once make start and there Is scarcely
an end to the paths you will wish to follow.
If you have no special subject of interest
take up an encyclopedia, slowly turn the
leaves and read any item that attracts you,
not forcing yourself to read anything. If you
have any life in you you will find something to
interest you; then you have your subject. If
1t some historical person or event, proceed as /
have already indicated; if scientific, overhaul
the dictionaries of science, lives of scientific
men, discussions of disputed points, &C.; If
geographical, turn to gazetteer, books of
travels, &c. One book will lead to another.
Right here let me say hope you have access
to these works of reference, either in your own
house, or that of friend, or at public library.
But If your ease is the very worst-if you have
none, cannot buy them and have no public
library in your neighborhood, let me advise
you to drop everything else and make 1t your
sole and special mission to start one, either by
influencing your parents and older friends ar
bygettirg up club of your mates, A strong
will and earnest effort will Accomplish won,
ders; and all older people are willing to help
younger ones TO useful tools.-St. Nicholas for
S6DteTnbeT.

National Veteran Club,

The regular meeting of the National Veteran
Club was held last evening at their rooms, in
the LIE Droit building, Colonel Tichenor in tue
chair. The meeting was enthusiastic in the
highest degree, and a large number were
elected members of the club.
The new campaign song-book, issued by the
National Republican Committee, was used by
the club, and a number of spirited songs were
sung.
Short addresses were made by Gen. Brown,
Capt. Adams and the president, Col Hchenor,
the latter of whom commended moderation in
all their efforts looking to the interests of SOL
diers, that their influence might not be weak
ened by either espousing the cause of improper
persons, or a too hasty Condemnation of those
supposed to be unfriendly to the claims of SOL
diers. Committees were instructed to make q
careful examination of all cases submitted to
them before action was taken. This sentiment
met with the unqualified approval of the club
and cannot fail TO have good effect.

How Courts ara "Held, in Colorado,

Recently while Judge Stone was on his way
to hold court and hear railroad case the
parties likely to be damaged by his decisions
entered the cars and seized the Judge. The
Denver papers have interesting stories of
Judge stones adventures, taken down from
his own lips. His captors were twenty -four in
number, were mounted on good horses, and
wore masks. The only rough handling which
he received was when he resisted their efforts
to remove him from the cars. They told him
they merely intended to give him a ride about
the country until the term Of the court should
lapse. They put him in a wagon, struck q
trail toward the foot hills, followed it six
miles, and halted at an old ranch, where q
fine riding-hor was waiting for him. The
guard was reduced to eight men, and after a
long ride in the saddle they dismounted for
lunch, His captors gave him cigars and what
the Judge calls ga fair article Of whisky" and
made themselves quite agreeable. A few
miles further on he was left in charge of one
man, and two or three hours afterward car
riage drove up, and he rode back to Golden.

A New Mustard Plaster.

The medical value of mustard plaster is
understood in every family. Much time is
spent in preparing poultice, and often the
mustard is of poor quality and will not act,
causing great suffering. This trying incon-
whence is now perfectly overcome by Benson's
Prepared Mustard Plaster. 1t is a great i'm
provement on the ordinary article. It is very
clean, and can be applied and removed without
discoloring the clothing or soiling the skin.
1t does not deteriorate with age. 1t is always
reliable, as only the best quality Of mustard is
used in its preparation. It is ready for use at
any moment by simply dipping it in water.
1t is sold in half yard pieces, at 25 cents per
roll, by all druggists. Sent by mail, on re-

The Democratic jackson Association to the
number of fifty, who have hungered for the
sweets of Office for the past sixteen years, as
sembled last evening at Beck's hall, on Louisi-
ana avenue, between Sixth and Seventh
streets; President J. E. Norris in the chair,
and exScbool Trustee Geo. F. Mcclellan, Sec
retary pro ten.
Mr.. Benjamin J. Darnielle was admitted to
membership.
The Chair stated that communication had
been received from the Tilden and Hendricks
Club, of Alexandria, requesting the loan of
all the flags and transparencies the associa-
ton could spare for use at the ratification
meeting and parade in that city tonight.
On motion of Mr.. Ball, the request was
complied with.
DIR. CULvFR's HEAD LEVEL.
DR.. Culver hoped that before loaning the
flags the president require bonds or good secur-
ity for their safe return.
Brother Norris said that he would take all
the bonds he could get his hands on, but the
word of good Virginia Democrat was suffi-
cieDt security for the safe return of the prop
erty loaned.
DR.. Dunn, of Arkansas, addressed the meet
ing, and assured those present that he was
sound Democrat and his State was good for
$4,000 majority for Tilden and Hendricks.
Mr.. B. j .Darneille next addressed the meet
ing. He said they were engaged in glorious
work, that of saving the country from the
ruin now being brought upon 1t by the Repub-
lican party. He was proud to be able to con-
gratulate his hearers on the action of the st.
Louis convention in placing SO strong ticket

character and services of s. j. Tilden, claim
ing for him the credit of reducing the taxes of
the State of New York, after his election as
Governor, from sixteen to eight millions of
dollars per annum and. of breaking up the
canal ring.
spoke of him as one deserving of the conf
dence and support of every Democrat. The
speaker closed by paying his respects to the
Republican party. He charged it with all
manner of crimes; said that the resumption
act of January II, 1875, was a ridiculous
measure censured the President for obeying
Scott Lords resolution passed by the House of
Representatives, by sending troops down South;
that States had right to attend to their own
affairs, and the presence of troops within their
borders was an-outrage. He claimed that the
resolution was no more valid than an order
from his cid friend, Judge Moore, who was sit
ting in the hall.
After the close of Mr.. Darneilie's remarks
the Chair announced that the Tilden and Hen
bricks Club of this city had extended an invi-
tation to the members of the association to ac-
company them on their excursion to Harper's
Ferry on Thursday next.
1.-THE president was authorized to appoint a
committee to collect fees, dues and any small
change they had to spare, from delinquent
members, after which the meeting adjourned.

A LIVELY CHASE.
Capture of an Insulting Negro.

An exciting chase took place in the east
grounds of the Capitol about O'Clock last
evening. A rascally- looking colored man
posted himself at the bottom of the steps Of
the southern portico of the east front, and in
suited ladies passing until his actions attracted
a great deal of attention. A watchman
collared him, but the negro picked up brick,
and. hitting the watchman over head with it,
broke away, and the chase began. A crowd
gathered from all parts, and chased the negro
over the Capitol grounds to street, where
he escaped into house. The crowd surround
ed the premises, and the culprit was soon
brought out, taken back over the same course,
and consigned to the crypt in the Capitol.
