= Gen. Sherman and the secretary of

the present force is allie to whip the Indians

- they are separated the soldiers will be COM
PEELED to do the same, and there might be
danger of some out detachments being over

trating against them. He then detailed the
strength Of the army and the present situa-
ton OF the various regiments. In answer to
inquiry whether the troops could be spared
to reinforce the army Of the Indian country,
Sherman said: am compelled to answer
that they cannot be spared. because those
who are entrusted with power Judge their
presence there unnecessary. That decision

The Stage Preferred to q Husband.

One Of the most charming young act
resses- although not a leading one in
any sense-who ever appeared in New
York, recently broke off d marriage
engagement under circumstances that
are creditable to her heart and head.
When she determined to become an
actress she was the recipientof the at.

ment. While she was preparing for
the stage under efficient teachers in
New York, the doctor sought to dis
suade her from the project, but she
was resolute and determined. When
she made her first appearance, her
fiance was present. The part was a
subordinate one, and the young actress
made as much out of it as any one
could have done, but her lovers pre-
judice against the stage continued, and
was famed into a flame by the opposi-
tion of his family. The actress in the
meantime persevered in her endeavors
to acquit herself creditably in her new
profession, but was tortured inwardly
by the appeals of her intended. She
truly loved him, and was ready for
any ordinary sacrifice on his account,
but had made it an Indispensable con-
dition of marriage that she should
abandon the stage. Her ambition to
become successful actress overcame

ROSS BOY.

From the Philadelphia Evening Chronicle, July q.
Those who take an interest in the
recovery of Charley Ross, and they are
legion, will learn with regret that
"George," the mulatto, who suddenly
appeared in this city on Wednesday
of last wesk, claiming to be able to re.
store the missing boy to his parents.
has as suddenly disappeared.
''George' was last seen on Market
street, below Third, on last Tuesday,
on which occasion he was in conversa-
tion with Mr.. Ross, and promised to
again meet the latter next day. At
that time Mr.. Ross, either in his indig-
nant belief that the mulatto was try
ing to deceive him, or else through
his excitement and desire to get at the
full possession of what information
the man had, said: ''If I but made
the effort I could have you hung!''
"George'' shortly afterward left, and
has been seen no more since.
It was rumored that orders had been
given to the police to pick him up
wherever found, but Lieut.. Grout, who
was asked about the matter yesterday,
states that no such order had been
given that he has heard of.
Mr.. Ross. it is said, is convinced that
the mulatto has seen Charley since the
latter's s abduction, and this fact alone
made the bereaved father anxious to
fully test the mans statements. These
were never very definite, except in
one particular that he (the mulatto)
had had charge of Charley Ross for
about nine months, and knows where
he is now, and could get him if proper
measures were taken. He. did not
seem very anxious to get money from
Mr.. Ross, whom he meyer asked for
any, but simply said it would take
about $40 for himself and those
who were to accompany him to make
the trip where the child is.
The general impression is that
''George" should not have been left to
come and 60 at his own will and pleas
ure. If he was a 'beat,'' and his oh.
ject was to make money he deserved
imprisonment for attempting to extort
money, and if he really knew any.
thing important of the whereabouts of
Charley Ross he could have been, con-
victed on his own statements of con.
cealment of the child and imprisoned,
as Westervelt has been. In either
event imprisonment would probably
soon have revealed his true character,
and if guilty Of duplicity and attempt
ed swindlings he would we'll merit his
punishment, while, if his statement
were honest, he would be compelled
to- divulge his full information on the
u!ject.

EADS' JETTIES.

From the mass of evidence regard
ing the success or failure of the ex.
pensive improvement of navigation at
the mouth of the Mississippi river,
the following seems to be the bottom
facts obtainable:
The work on the South pass ietties,
Mississippi river, was commenced by
James B. Eads in the spring of 1875
and has been vigorously pushed until
within a few months. Mr.. Eads in his
contract with the government agreed
to secure 20 feet least depth of water
and channel 200 feet wide for that
depth over the bar at the South pass,
and from the Mississippi river to the
Gulf of Mexico, before receiving any
money for his work, and to receive all
his payment in proportion to the
depth of water secured. Mr.. Eads
from the very first advertised his
work extensively and, it would appear
as we look back over the history of
the work from It's commencement to
date of writing, without much regard
+ for the truth. - When his proposals
for the contract were yet pending the
action of congress he continually as
serted his individual ability to build
the entire work before receiving any
remuneration whatever from the gov
eminent. After the contract was SO.
cured company known as ''The South
Pass Jetty company sprang into ex.
istence composed mostly Of parties
in St. Louis.
When, last spring, Mr.. Eads began
to proclaim his success as sure and
that he had already almost secured %
feet Of water at South pass, several
lines of steamers attempted to use
that passage entirely. Those of light
draft experienced no difficulty, but
those of Is to l8 feet of draft often
grounded, both on the bar and on the
shoal at the head of the pass. The
last deep-draft steamer that attempted
to use South pass, was the Morgan City,
from New Orleans to New York. She
drew II feet forward and II feet aft.
On July Sd she grounded on the shoa]
and in the channel at the head of South
pass. She remained there for about a
week and had finally to be lightered
Off. She then went to sea by way of
the Southwest pass. No ship drawing
over 10 feet has since attempted to
use South pass, and all lines of steam.
ers have returned to Southwest pass,
where the government dredge-boats
keep a constant channel of 10 % 10 1-2
feet at high tide. TO obviate this
shoal water, or "middle.ground," at
the head of South pass, Resident Jetty
Engineer G. W. r. Bayley, in com.
munication to New Orleans paper of
July 20, 1876, suggests in order to util.
ize South pass with a less depth over
the bar than at Southwest pass, YES.
sells lighter over the shoal at the head
OF South pass. This would be all right
for the jetties, but unfortunately fo1
them, shlp-oWners prefer sending their
ships to sea through a 10 IL feet chan.
mel at the Southwest pass without
lighterage, than to lighter through =
IA feet channel at the head of South
pass, and then send their ship to Sea

Cincinnati Times, Feb. 4, 1876.

Many'who are suffering from the eff.
tects of the warm weather and are debilitat-
ed, are advised by physicians to take 1noder-
ate amounts of whisky two or three times
during the day. In a little while those who
adopt this advice frequently increase the
number of 'fdrinks," and" in time become
confirmed inebriates. 4 A beverage which will
not. create q thirst for Intoxicating liquors,
and which is intended especially for the ben
eft of debilitated persons, whether at home
or,abroad, is DR.. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic.
Containing the juices of many medical herbs,
this preparation does not create an appetite
for the Intoxicating cup. The nourishing and
ite-supporting properties of many valuable
natural productions contained in 1t and well
known to medical men have most strength
ening influence. A single bottle of the Tonic
will demonstrate its valuable qualities. For
debility arising from sickness, over exertion
or from any cause whatever, a wine glass full
of See Weed Tonic taken after meals will
strengthen the stomach and create an appe-
tite for wholesome food. To all who are about
leaving their homes, we desire to say that the
excellent effects of DIR. Schenck's seasonable
remedies, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake
Pills, are particularly evident when taken by
those who are injuriously affected by a change
Of water and diet. No person should leave
home without taking supply of these safe
guards along. For sale by all Druggists.

Murder in Dunn County, Wisconsin.

Murder in Dunn County, Wisconsin.
On Friday last most unprovoked
and brutal murder was committed in the See
settlement near Menomonee, the murderer
being one Edward Jump, and his victim
Thomas Van Vert. The circumstances as
related by Jump himself, are as follows: A
colt belonging to jump had broken into Van
Weft's grain, and the latter caught it and
tied it in his shed, sending word to Jump
to come and pay charges and take it away.
Jump started Immediately, taking a young
man with him and arming himself with a
pitchtork. Arriving at Van Wert's place, he
found nobody at home, Van Vert and his
wife being in the meadow making hay. He
took the colt, put his companion Oh its back
and started tor home. Mrs. Van Vert saw
them and informed her husband, who
jumped on horse and started in hot pursuit.
Overtsking them, he slid from his horse and
caught the colt by the halter, and stopped it,
when Jump rushed up behind him and dealt
him . murderous blow with the fork on the
top Of his head, crushing the skull and 1ell-
ing him to the ground. Not satisfied will,
this he continued to beat his victim with the
fork, fracturing the skull on the side also,
and otherwise badly injuring him. Van
Vert was able to get up, and with Jumps as
sistance returned to his home, where he took
to his bed and died about 4 p. IN. of the same
day, six or seven hours after the assault.
Jump was arrested the same evening, and
after an examination was committed for trial
on charge Of murder.
Discouraging News from the Indian War.
The Steamer Carroll, from the Vel
low Stone, arrived at Bismarck on the 6tl
inst. with rather discouraging news from
Crooks and Terry's commands. The Indians
had captured and burned large amount Of
forage, principally corn and oats, at the
mouth Of Powder river, and burned it. Gen
Terry had been forced to retreat 80 miles t.
the north. Crook was marching nortl
TO form a junction, but was so harrassed
by the Indians that he could make but
six miles day. The grass is burned
in every direction, and it is very diff.
c7lt to get forage for the animals.
The steamer Far West, with supplies, was at
tackled at the mouth OF Powder river, and
Col. Moore, who was on board with three
companies of troops, waa dared to land and
meet them. Moore ordered few shells
from twelve FOUNDER to be fired, which
scattered the Indians, after which the pilot
with two scouts went ashore to reconnoitre
They were surrounded by the Indians, and
madeA running fight for the boat, in which
one Of the scouts was wounded in the lungs
His companions returned to him and found
the Indians about to scalp him, but they
killed one, drove off the others and brought
in the wounded man by the aid Of eight
men:e Col. Moore all this time, gave no aid t
thebrave men, and it is asserted, forbad.
