A MATERIALIZED HOLE.-Take q sheet
OF stiff writing paper and fold 1t into q tube
an inch in diameter. Apply IL TO the right
eye ard look steadfastly through IT, focus
sing the eye on any convenient object; keep
the lelL eye open. Now place the left hand,
held palm upward, edgeways against the
side of the paper tube, and about an inch or
two above Its lower end. The astonishing
effect viii be produced OF q hole, apparently
OF the size OF the cross section of the tub
made through the left hand. This is the
hole In which we propose to materialiZe
another and smaller hole. As we need a
genuine aperture, and 1t would be incon-
venient TO make one in the left hand let q
sheet OF white paper be substituted therefor
and similarly held. Just at the part of the
paper where the hole eoualling In diameter
the ortnce of the tube appears, make an
opening inch in diameter. Now stare in
tently into the tube; and the second hole
defined by Its difference of illumination will
be seen floating In the first hole, vet both
will be transparent. The Illusion, for OF
course IL is one OF those Odd pranks our
oinocular vision plays upon rs Is certainly
one OF the most curious ever devised. Be-
sides, here Is the actusl hole clearly visible,
and yet there Is no solid body to be seen to
denne Its edges. 1t Is not q mere spot OF
light, because, IL q page of print be regarded,
The lines within the boundaries of the little
bole will not coincide At all with those sur
rounding IL and extending to the edges of
the large apparent aperture. Each eye OBJ
viously transmits an entirely difYerent i'm
preston to the brain, and that organ unable

some distance In pursuit of plants. He re-
turned shortly and reported tnat there were
Indians near al hand. He was as cool as n
cucumber, and didn't show sign OF auexiety

he replied that while he was engaged in ex-
amining fossil specimen, he heard grunt
behind him. and on looking aroun4 dis

which bad been placed against a rock. Tne
Indian drew bead on him. and In retaIia-

squaw. After capturing them they ex-
amtned the vicinity in which the Doe or hsd

tiOus retreat to the canyon. But alas! for the
frailty OF human nature; his footprints in
the canyon were eight feet apart, by measure

preached the camp. The Doctor ackuowI-

IFRoN SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUSE.i
OLD Fort RENO, W. T., March 21.-The Big Horn
expedition returned to this point to-day, aiter
marching over 400 miles in ii days, encounter
ing unusually severe weather, and destroying an
active and pestilent Indian village which has
troubled the Wyoming frontier. The details OF each
DAYS marching and the results OF the expedi-
ton, as well as tho character OF the country
through which the troops moved, are gwen
herewith. The Indians who have caused tho
most mischief along the frontiers of Nebraska
and Wyoming who have stolen the greatest number
of horses and committed the largest number of MUIR
ders. have been badly punished on the Powder
River, and their families left without shelter,
provision, orclothing. Moreover, immense quanti-
ties of powder caps, and other ammunition have
been destroyed, so that they have little material
yberewith to 60 to war again. Each tepee IN the
encampment which was surprised was small ar
senal. in which was stored large supply OF war
material. This was all obtained from the worthy
agents and traders at the various Indian agencies,
especially at Red Cloud and Spotted Tail. The ex-
pedIton has demonstrated that the number Oh
hostile Indians in this northern country has been
greatly overestimated. Instead of 10000 OF 2Oo0o'
there are probably not over 1000 all told. This
command, in the country which was covered by Its
marches and which was supposed to be the seat OK
powerful warlike tribes, has not seen over ooo
Indians. These probably constitute half OF the
hostile Indians now OF their reservations. Doubt
less during the Summer this number is increased py
young bucks whom the agents permit to leave their
agencies, and who materially assist the predatory
excursions of the openly hostile; but that there Is
in this region warlike population large enough
to endanger the general peace OF tho
frontier is ono of those humbugs which
Indian agents find profitable to perpetuate'
At Reno the wounded were transferred to ambu-
lances. and the whole command took q breathing
spell In two DAYS the column Will set out iof
Fort Fetterman whence the troops will return 70
their posts to prepare for other campaigns durnsths

IsLArs q DEMOCRATTC-A REPUBLICAN con-
GB AN IN THE THIRD DISTRICT.
A storm ragged throughout Connecticut yesterday,
interfering somewhat with the election IN the rural
towns; but extremely large vote was polled IN
the State at large. The Democrats reelected their
State ticket by from 1000 to 5000 majority. and
carried the Legislature by larger majority than
last year. when they had SO on joint ballot. This
secures the election of the United States Senator to
them. The only Republican victory of any cOnse-
quence is the election of Col Wait TO Congress from
Eastern Connecticut by about 700 majority.
