KILL EAGLE

He Surrcnders 10 the Military.
Chicago, Sept. 2o.-News was re-
ceiyed at military headquarters here to-
day that, on the 10th instant, John
Grass, head chief of the Blackfeet band
Of Sioux, was arrested by the military
authorities for exerting his influence to
prevent hostile Indians from coming in
to surrender and for other ~offenses. He
will be kept in custody until the charges
against him are investigated. The In
dians since this arrest have become
very respectful and friendly. 1t will
be remembered that this chief, John
Grass, was after his arrest paroled by
the authorities that he might attempt
to secure the surrender of Kill Eagle
and his force. This was accomplished,
and XIII Eagles band laid down Their
arms, as has already been declared in
official dispatches. John Grass was
highly complimented by Gen. Carlin,
commanding at Standing Rock, for bis
services, and in return made an elo-
quept speech for his brethren, and
humorously handed over a worthless
fint-lock rifle, to be sent to the Great
Father in token of submission.

Philadelphia, Sept. 20.-The atten-
dance at the Centennial is steadily in
creasing. AT l O'Clock to-day the paid
admissions numbered 81, Isl. The num-
Der present on the opening day is now
Appropriated every day, and the pros
pect is that still greater crowds will
come as the close approaches. The
crowd in attendance yesterday was the
largest of any fifty-cent day during the
season.
The demolition of shanties is ordered
to commence on Friday.
The street parade of the Odd Fellows
to-day was a splendid demonstration.
1t is estimated that $1,000 men were in
line and the streets along the line of
march were thrOnged with spectators.
The most remarkable display of the
building, and certainly the n that at
tracts the greatest attention is that of
California fruit. Brought east in re-
frigerator cars, it is in fine condition,
the fruit is unequaled and..the quality is
very fine. The peaches are very large
and luscious. Clusters of grapes are
shown which, in this part of the coun-
try, seem fairly enormous, and the
beauty of them has been highly praised.
The apples, pears and plums are al
most equally remarkable.

Salt Lake, Sept. 20.-In the Beaver
court, this morning, Judge Foreman, in
the course of his charge to. the jury,
said: 1.-THE prisoner, j. d. Lee, stands
before you charged with being a par
ticipant in one of the most atrocious
massacres of human beings, of men, wo-
men and children in Mountain Mea-
dow in 1857, that was ever known in
any civilized part of the world. The
evidence shows that the persons killed
were emigrants. For several days a
combination of Indians and white men
had been making attacks upon their
encampment. The Indians and white
men WED with each other in the fiend-
ish work, destroying over M hundred
and twenty men, women and children.
1t has been alleged that the prisoner
shot one m with q gun, one with
a pistol, cut the throat of another, and
told an Indian not to spare a young wo-
man whose life the savage asked him to
spare.'
The jury retired at 11:45 a. M, and
at $3.50 p. m. returned with a verdict of
murder in the first degree.

4 Horrible Story.

Atchison, Sept. 20.-About 8 O'Clock
yesterday morning Il man named Patten
appeared in Sterling, Rice Co. covered
with blood, having IA bullet hole through
the back of his head, the ball being
lodged in the neck, and another through
the upper lip. His story is substantial
ly as follows:
Himself and a companion, Douglass,
were arrested for DEMONSTRATING and en-
route from Wichita to Great Bend in
charge of a deputized officer. They
were lying in a wagon shackled together
an officer riding on horseback be-
hind. About sunrise on Monday n
Of the officers rode up and shot Patten
through the back of the head. Douglass
jumped up, begging for his life, and was
shot through the right temple, killing
him instantly. The bodies were then
thrown out of the wagon, but seeing
that Patten breatbed, another shot was
fired at him, the ball passing through
his lip and lodging in his cheek-bone.
The bodies were then dragged towards
the Arkansas river about two hundred
yards and the murderers took their de-
parture westward. When they were
out of sight Patten waded the Arkan-
sas river. His arrival at Sterling Great
ed quite a sensation. A party of citi-
ems went out and found the body of
the murdered man. Patton was COM
pletely exhausted from loss of blood al d
now lies in a very critical condition.
Patterns story is that he belonged to a
gang of horse thieves and peached on
them and that the nan who shot him
was the captain Of the band. Great
excitement exists in Rice County over
this bloody affair.

Bismarck, Sept. 2e.-Gen. Terry ar
rived here with his staff to-day, en-
route to st. Paul.
The dash by the Seventh Cavalry and
a battalion of the Sixth Infantry upon
Wolf Point Agency to intercept inca
papas attempting to cross at that point
was a failure. The troops failed to
overtake the Indians, who succeeded in
fording the river and escaping to British
territory. Employees at the agency who
saw them cross represent the number at
several hundred. The Indians con-
fessed that they were in a destitute o
dition, and had thrown away their
lodges to facilitate their flight. They
offered -extravagant prices i'll ponies for
ammunition.
The troops left in the cantonment at
Tongue river are making good progress
in building huts. The other battalions
are all Ell route for their respective
posts.
A Fort Sully telegram says Chief
Bull Eagle, it is reported, when called
on to surrender his arms and ponies,
sent word to Gen. Buell., at Cheyenne
Agency, that he would do nothing of
the kind, and that he wants all the SOL
diers to cross to the east bank and keep
their rations, as the Indians will take
care of themselves.

An UnparnIIelea Invention.

Take away our improved Machine and ma
chinery and the articles of utility, comfort and
elegance which emanSte therefrom, and what
would be the result? The reply is obvious and
the contemplation not at all pleasant The
prosperity of our country is in measure largely
due to invention directly but indirectly our
people a whole are entitled to a large share
Of credit, as the liberality of our patent laws
compared with those of European Government
and the eagerness with which we receive new
articles and invest money in their purchase, hal
called to the shore of America the finest inven.
tive genius Of the age. The principle Of sewing
by machinery has been in practical operation oil
over quarter Of acentury, but the proper ap-
plicatiOn of that principle has been a subject
which has engrOssed the attention of the whole
people as well as the master mechanical mind,
and vast amounts Of money have been layishly
expended in the constant anticipation that ere
long the acme OF perfection might be attained.
That such is the case we cannot deny when we
witness the crovning points of mechanical ge
MUS as developed in the New American Sewing
Machine, few Of which are the self-threading
shuttle, the first and only one the world has
ever seen; self-setting needle points Of superior
excellence which save time and ANNOYANCE TO
the operator, being especially favorable to those
whose eyesight is impaired; unusual lightness
and ease Of motion, natural result of the sim
plicity Of lts action ; durable being made from
the best material the country can produce and
one that will last you lifetime. For the past
ten years the New American sewing Machine
has withstood the tests Of the severest criticism
and malignant abuse from rival agents who
have done their utmost to prevent the introduc-
ton of machine 30 superior in all its parts
and which possesses so many valuable and i'm
| portant improvements. The rapidly increasing
demand for the American wherever it is known,
fully demonstrates the popularity and efficiency
of this unparalleled invention. The American
| Sewing Machine Company have recently,opened
Branch Office in San Francisco at ia Fifth
street. to supply want long felt on the Pacific
Coast All those who contemplate purchasing
a Sewing Machine will consult their own inter
ests in examining this latest and eminently su-
perior invention, which surpasses in points Of
excellence any Sewing Machine manufactured.

How TO DEAL WITH HIGHwAYMEN.-
The Paris newspapers chronicle an ex-
ample of presence of mind which it
may be we'll to quote for the benefit of
belated travellers. The other night,
says Figaro, one of our friends was
passing by a dark and lonely boulevard
on his way home. He was walking on
one side of the walk, his cane in his
hand, and unconscious of any danger.
Suddenly one of those rascals cut out
for the house of correction, came out
from pile of building materials, armed
with big stick, advanced upon the be-
lated stroller, and at last planted himself
before him. I" want your money, said
the rough, addressing our friend.
Chow much do you want?" 81 must
have twenty francs" "The duce you
must" remarked the victim: eff 1
give You twenty francs that other fellow
will ask for as much more" "What
other fellow?" asked the thief, turning
his head to see whether there really was
q rival behind him. Seizing the mo-
ment when he turned, our friend in
flicted master stroke of his cane upon
the side of the thiefs head, which stun
ned him and laid him out then ran
away without losing a moments time.

The Story of a Book Agent.

A book agent lately met with a seri-
GUS accident in the suburbs. He was
walking along the railroad when a
freight train came along. The unfor-
tunate man was struck by the engine
and knocked directly across the track,
some tifty-three cars passing over him.
He was then tumbled down bank eight
hundred feet high, over stones and
stumps, and just as he got to the edge
Of the river he struck against pile
driver that was at work, and his head
lying on top of the pile for minute or
two, the ponderous hammer descended,
striking him on the cheek, bruising his
face somewhat. The shock rolled him
into the river just as an up-river packet
was passing, and by some mishap the
unfortunate mau was entangled in one
of the wheels and whirled round and
round for an hour and half before he
was discovered and released. He was
picked up nearly senseless and removed
to the cabin, where his wants we're sup
piled. After he had eaten a hearty
meal, he was approached by the cap
tain, who asked:
els there anything you would like
to have?"
No, no." replied the canvasser,
" there is nothing but this"
What! what" calculated the cap
tain; "what is it ?"
The book agent smiled sweetly as he
produced a subscription-list, and said :

A SINGULAR REsCUK.-One of the
most singular rescues ever reported, oc-
Cured, the South Australian AdUertser
reports, during the voyage of the Ma
Marole from Fermantle. The schooner
was running at the rate Of ten knots per
hour, before heavy westerly gale, when
the alarm was given of a man over
board. One Of the South Sea islanders
had been relieved from the wheel, and,
In heavy pair of boots and an oilskin
coat, was going forward, when he was
knocked overheard by sea which came
over the side. The waves we're running
mountainously as he dropped astern,
but the report was no sooner made than
the schooner was rounded 10 in the
bare hope of saving the unfortunate
man. She came to the wind under a
press OF sail, made short reach, and
was soon about on the other tack. To
judge of the time on such occasions is
difficult, but the master considers that
q quarter of an hour elapsed before the
position where the man was lost over
board was regained. A sharp lookout
was kept, and on heading over an i'm
mense sea the voice Of the man was
heard above the roar of the gale. The
way Of the craft was at once stopped,
and the man swan up to the side and
was taken on board. He had thrown of
the heavy boots, but brought the oil
skin coat back.
