1t awakons q very lively interest
in the Typographical featurosof the
country, when you know that any
hill or rayine may conceal a party
Of the enemy, There is little rear
Or front in the usual Indian fight.
In fact it is all front, for they oircu-
late on all sides, and shoot from
every point which offers a place of
concealment. When the Sioux at
tackled General Crook in the valley
of the Rosebud, just before the Gus
ter disaster, the fire opened in the
rear, front and Aanks within five
minutes Of the time the first shots
were heard. There are no nom
eombatants in such an affair. One
place is as safe or unsafe as another,
and every man who has a gun goes
in to use it if he wishes to save his
scalp. It is entirely a mistake,
however, that only the cavalry are
Of use in Indian fighting. The in
fantry, carrying rifles which SHOOT
closer and further than the cavalry
carbine, have driven the Indians
from positions which cavalry were
unable to carry. The sayage'

but they will make a bold stand
against both. Artillery, however,
is the thing that demoralizes them.
Let a shell explode among a lot Of
rocks in which they have been max
ing stand against the musketry,
and there will not an Indian remain
a moment longer than is sufficient
for him to jump and run. Brave
as the Sioux are, and they are the
bravest of their race, they will never
stand against field guns but, with
small arms alone, it is the opinion
of officers here who have fought
them, that it requires man to man
to thoroughly thrash them. This
may seem strange talk to people
who have been accustomed to be-
lieve that one white man was equal
to any three Indians, but | give the
opinion of gentlemen Of unques-
toned courage who are thoroughly
acquainted with the Sioux.

American Register.
A letter was lately thrown into
the London postofice containing
100000 in bank-notes, without any
address. The astonishment Of the
clerk in the dead-letter Office who
opened the letter, at so large a sum
being, as it were, presented to the
public treasury, may be imagined.
1t appears, however, to be no un-
common occurrence in London for
money to be thrown away in this
manner, although rarely, Of course,
in such large sums as in the case Of
a man who could act in the way
described, must be very extraordin-
airy; apparently money was a drug
in the city on the day that the
owner of 10000 put them in the
Ipublic letter. box without inscrib-
| ing their destination on the enyel-
ope. Any person, however, who
has seen the careless way in which
letters are posted in London toward
the hour for dispatching the mails
will scarcely be surprised even at
this act of carelessness. A crowd
of persons, principally boys, fling
the letters over the heads Of other
boys into the letter boxes, and a
scene of confusion ensUes which
cannot be described 1t is easy to
comprehend that a junior clerk told
to direct letter containing money
at the last moment might forget to
do so, and the boy sent with it to
the postoffice would no more dream
of looking to see if the letter was
addressed than he would Of flying
through the air. On his arrival al
the postoilice the letters would b,
flung into the letter-boxes in tn,
manner of missiles darted at thl
heads of invisible enemies. If thD
approaches were guarded by polio,

thing like order and method intro
duced into the vast crowd throng
: ing to the postolfice toward pos
: time, we suspect that there woulC
be fewer cases of letters throw
? into the boxes without address.

There is a shedding, down Frank

the boys congregate at twilight, and
have plenty of fun. OF late they
nave been practicing throwing the
lariat, and washlines have been
missed by the dozen since the Mex
lean troop of riders appeared at the
fair ground. 81 tell you, boys, l
don's want you to throw any more

he heard that his two sons had
nearly choked a neighbours little
girl to death. 81 warn you to stop
it at once, and if | catch you at it
again I'll whale you, depend on it"
Last evening the boys sneaked
out of the house, leaving their father
in the kitchen helping to can to-
matoes, He went up town for some
more cans, and it was about half
past seven when he came back. His
bows, with the rest, were on the
shedding, but they could not see
who was coming. "Here comes a
gnoozer; let's get on him" said one
of the boys, and when the father
passed by there was a whizz and a
thud, and he was brought up with
round turn with the loop under
his left arm.
"Away she goes" cried the boys,
as they gave him a run. The tin
cans scattered, and the boys shouted,
"Golly, he's a tin buffalo" Two
minutes later the ringleaders dis
covered that they had lassQod the

The production of artificial clouds
of smoke is common appliance
against frost in France aud Ger
many, Monsieur Wizard has rec.
commended plan which is perfectly
successful, aud which consists in
carefully mixing gas-tar with saw
dust and old straw, and piling up
this mixture in large heaps in the
vineyards. The mixture remains
inhammable more than fortnight,
in spite of rain and weather. When
required for use smaller heaps are
made from the large ones, about
two feet in diameter, and distrlb-
uted in and around the vineyard.
If there is little wind these heaps
burn freely for about three and a
half hours, and produce a very
dense smoke. The artificial cloud
which thus enwraps the vines con-
siderably decreases the radiation

vents frost, which is greatest TO-
