Months ago, nt.the time Of the Hippo
drome revival. we labored to lead Brother
MOODY to Just comprehension OF the real
meaning OF the Scriptures. and the true nature
OF genuine religion. While many thousands OF
people were protesting to be converted through
his preaching, we urged him to see tn t they did
not fail to understand the necessity Of illustfat
Ing their religion by lives Of righteousness, and
by the practice Of those principles In which they
proclaimed their belief. 1t was hard work to get
him to lend his ears TO the truths then set forth
In The Sun, and we fear that he closed his work
importance. Brother MOODY has again been
making a visit to the city and taking quiet
look over the field OF his operations. We trust
he has been able To see and rejoice over at least
slight show Of fruits OF the great Hlppodrome
revival which Yves carried on under bis direc-
tion. We trust he found that some OF his con-
verts were standing firm, and were living that
life Of practical righteousness which Is the es-
sence OF true religion, but about which he had
so little TO- say. lie has doubtless found tn 1t
the city was not palpably transformed by his
preaching; that wickednsss Of all kinds still
abounds on every baud that tue masses OF men
still follow their evil ways and that many even
OF his converts fail To give the Scrlpturh evil
dence OF their conversion. II Brother MOODY
should conclude TO try his hand upon the city
once more, he must work down deeper than he
did last time.

CAUTIOUSLY enough II Is only Just now, fully six
weeks gfter the opening II the Exhibition, that
the display OF the French department has been
completed, aud that several others, like the
Russian and Turkish are beginning to show
signs Of vitality. The Russians had AN excuse In
the acct lent which happened to their steamer,
and the Turks in the political complications
which betell their country. hut the French,
who could not plead anything Of the kind, were
accused II negligence. 1t turns out. however
that the negligence was not on their part. The
French exhibitors and Commissioners maintain
that all their goods were shipped early In April,
in the suppositon that one month was quite
enough for them to cross the ocean by steamer
and go through the formalties preliminary to
the Exhibition. Yet only such goods could be

| Quaker city fully month before the inaugural

have caused great annoyance to every foreigner
who had to come In contact with these authorl-

The Removal of Mr.. Jewell.

Washington Cor. New York Herald.l
Ii you ask the Presidents friends why
the sudden change, they tell you it is to
strengthen the party in Indiana, where
Mr.. Tyner is an influential politician.
If you ask Mr.. JEWELS friends they tell
you that he has probably resisted the
President in some appointments he
wished made for political purposes in
the Postofice Department.
It has been known to a few of the
Presidents friends for two or three
weeks that he intended to remove Mr..
Jewell, but in the end he seems to have
acted on a sudden impulse, for the
change was a surprise to those who sup
posed they knew what was to happen.
There is story that the last disagree.
ment between the Postoffice Depart
ment and the White House concerned
the dismissal of one Morton, special
agent in the South, who was appointed
by the President two or three months
ago, and who proved, to Mr.. JEWELS
disgust, to be an ardent Conkling
"worker In the Southern conventions.
The gossips say that Senator Morton
complained bitterly of his namesake's
conduct in the service of Mr.. Conkling,
and that Mr.. Jewell, at the time, wished
to recall him, but the President would
not let him. On the 1st of July, how
ever, Morton was dropped by Mr.. jew
ellis orders, and Aow, say the gossips,
the President drops Mr.. Jewell.
Mr.. Jewell was before the House Com
mittee on Postoff1ces and Post Roads
to-day, and testified in relation to vari-
Gus matters which have been brought
out by witnesses before the committee
during the session. He was asked if any
member of the Cabinet had asked him or
talked with him in relation to the resig-
nation of certain clerks who were asked
to resign. He replied if any one of the
Cabinet had asked him questions about
the removal of certain clerks he should
refuse to tell the committee, and he re-
fused to tell why he removed certain
clerks, beyond general reasons that were
entirely satisfactory to himself, why they
should be removed.
Near the close of Postmaster General
JEWELS examination he was asked:
Was your resignation forced or volun-
tary? A. Well, the President notified
me that my resignation would be &C
cepted, and rendered it.
@. We're there any charges preferred
against you9 A. No sir, not that I am
aware of.

The Sioux Described by a Man Who
Knows Them.

A reporter of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat recently interviewed Mr.. j.
D. Keller, of that city, who possesses a
great deal of interesting information
about the Sioux. Mr.. Keller was, from
1868 to 1873, clerk of the agent at Stand
ing Rock, and had ample opportunities
to get acquainted with this tribe of
bloodthirsty savages. The word Sioux
means Sc cu5-throat." According to Mr..
Keller's statement, the various bands of
Sioux number from $4,000 to $4,000,
and are divided into the following differ
ent tribes: Unkapapa, Flackfeet, Sans
Arcs, Two Kettles, Upper Yanktonais,
Lower Yanktonais, Santee Sioux, Burg
klys, Mini Conjoux, and Galkas. Part
of these live east and part west of the
Missouri river. Tatonka Otahka (Sit-
ting Bull), who led the savages in the
fight against Custer, belongs to the
Unkapapas (dried beef eaters). Mr..
Keller knows him we'll. He has large
head, eyes, and nose, high cheek-bones;
one of his legs is shorter than the other,
from gunshot wound in the left knee.
His countenance is of an extremely-sav-
age type, Detraying that bloodthirstiness
and brutality for which he has been so
long notorious. He has the name of
being one of the most successful scalpers
in the Indian country. There has been
standing reward of 81, 900 offered for
his head for the last eight years by the
Montana people, who have special cause
to know his ferocious nature, some of
his worst deeds having been perpetrated
in that Territory. The Sioux, when on
the war-path, black their faces from the
eyes down, the forehead being dyed a
bright red. When in mourning, and
very eager to revenge the death of friends
OF relations, they cut their hair short and
daub their faces with white earth. Their
feats of Workmanship are wonderful.
They consider the greatest act of valor
to be the striking Of their enemy with
some hand instrument while alive, aud,
whether live or dead, it is the first one
that strikes the fallen foe that "counts
the COUP" and not the one that shoots
him. They do not always scalp. Their
object in scalping is to furnish proof
of their deed, and give them to their
women to dance over. They always at
tack in a sweeping, circling line, eagle
like, give q volley, pass on, circle and
return on different angle. When they
kill one of the enemy there is always
rush to get the first crack at him, so as
to "count the COUP" and then some
Indian who was disappointed in getting
cut at the victim while alive scalps
him. The Sioux always camp with
teepes (lodges) in a circle, making, as it
were, stockade, and when ON danger
GUS ground they picket their ponies in
the center.

Two jolly topers once sat in an inn,
Discussing the merits of brandy and gin.
One said to the other, :" tell you what, Bill,
I've been hearing to-day of the Teetotal Mill.
g You must know that this comical mill has been
built
OF old broken casks when the liquors been split
You go up some high steps, and when at the SILL
You've paper to sign at the Teetotal Mill.

THAT ale wine and spirits you never VIII drink;
You give up Gas they call itl such r2scany s"ln'
And then you go into the Teetotal MILL.
esThere's a wheel in the mill they call self-denial,
They turn it a bit Just to give you trial;
Old clothes are made new, and, If you've been Ill,
You're very soon cured at the Teetotal Mill"
win rsteped and wondered at length he cried,
why Tom if it's true what you're telling about,
What fools we must be to be here sitting still
LET us 90 and we'll look at the Teetotal Mill"
They eazed with amazement; then came in a man,
with excess and disease his visage wan;
He mounted the steps, signed the pledge with
will,
And went for turn in the Teetotal Mill.
He quickly came out the picture of health,
And walked briskly on the highway to wealth;
And as onward he pressed, he shouted out still,
success to the wheel of the Teetotal MILL"
The next that went in were man and his wife;
For many long years they'd been living in strife;
He had beat and abused her and swore he would
kill,
But his heart took turn in the Teetctal Mill.
And when he came out, how altered was he!
Steady, honest and sober-how happy was she!
They no more contend, No, you shaH't;" "Yes, I
WILL"
They we're blessing together the Teetotal Mill.
Next came rough fellow, as grim as Turk
To curse and to swear was his principal work;
BE swore that that morning '' his skin he would
FILL"
And drunk as he was he reeled into the mill.
And what he saw there one never could tell;
But his conduct was changed, and his language was
well;
And when he had turned round the brow of the
hill,
He I1neIt and thanked God for the Teetotal Mill
Tho poor were made rich. the weak were made
strong,
The shot was made short and the purse was made
long;
These miracles puzzled both Thomas and Bill,
At length they went in for a turn on the mill.
A little while after heard great shout;
turned round to see what the noise was about;
flag was conveyed to the top of the hill,
And crowd, among which were Thomas and Bill
We're shouting, g Hurrah for the Teetotal Mil!'

Mountain Climbing Camels.

The Virginia City, New, Enter
prise, says ga train of eight camels
left the city early yesterday morning,
loaded with wood for the summit of
Mount Davidson. Each animal carried
about one-thsrd of cord of wood. The
train reached the summit and approached
to within about $50 yards of the flag
staff without much difficulty. They
could not be taken nearer, as near the
peak all is bare granite, twisted in all
directions and cut up by deep channels
or crevices. Across this patch of rocks
the wood for the bonfire must be carried
on the shoulders of men. A herd of
eight camels standing on the summit of
Mount Davidson, nearly 5000 feet
above the level of the sea, was novel
sight, and should have been photo
graphed. The train will make another
trip to the summit of the mountain early
this morning, carrying the remainder of
the wood required for the big bonfire.
Although it is the general supposition
that camels cannot travel when taken off
the sands of the deserts, these nearly
all of which were Nevada born-seem to
be pretty good mountain climbers.

Mrs. ArnOld'S Rig.

Mrs Eliza M. Arnold, of Houston,
Texas, has invented and patented an i'm
provemenu in rigging ladies' of any size,
which greatly simplifies the task of set
ting or furling an umbrella. The new
invention is called an umbrella sup
porter" and next to the device of double
topsail yards it is probably the most i'm
portant improvement in rigging which
has been made during the last half cen
tury. Mrs. Arnold's description of the
umbrella supporter is extremely interest
ing. Two curved rods, made 20 fit upon
what the inventor calls "the forward
side of a woman or girl, of any age, are
fastened at the lower ends to the belt of
the wearer, and, passing over her shout
ders, unite behind the neck to form
socket into which the foot of an umbrel-
la is stepped. The socket resembles, in
appearance, the truss of a ships main
yard, with the important exception that
it is made of steel twisted into spiral
springs, so that free lateral motion may
be given to the umbrella. The rods are
furnished with back-stays leading to the
arms, and to what Mrs. Arnold would
probably call the backward side" of
the wearer, and when these are set up
taut there is no danger that the rods will
be carried away by sudden squat. The
umbrella is, OF course, furnished with
halyards and brails, SO that it can be
easily set or taken in, and it is trimmed
to suit the direction of the wind or of the
suns rays by means of braces. 1t is
claimed that the umbrella can be handled
