HONESTY'S SMALL REWARD.

The London Telegraph of July G
says: Leysand, a little village in the
department of the Ain, has for some
time past been agitated by small TO.
nance OF it's own. Its parish priest,
or cure, died suddenly, and q Young
man was appointed in his place. The
new incumbent, soon after entering
upon his cure began to rummage about
the parsonage-ifw we may so call it
and more particularly explored the
cellars. French priests are, as a rule,
no mean judges of the good things of
this life, and they are especially noted
connolSseurs of choice vintaees. tt
may be that the new conner expected
to find hidden in a corner some more
than usually precious flagons of old
Barsac, or a few bottles of priceless
Chateau Iquem, or small but of full
bodied Larose.. G. AS it happened, how
ever, among heap of empty bottles
ne alighted on a couple of small oak
chests, or, to speak more exactly, box
es heavily clamped. Forcing these
open, he found them stuffed with gold
pieces amounting to total of $4,000
francs, or, as nearly us may be, f72O.
Nothing would have been easier for
him, OF course, than to have held his
peace about the matter.
Instead of this, however, BEING q
young man, and consequently well bal
lasted with conscience-a comrnoditv
which is apt to wear away as Life adj
vances-he betook himself to the viii
lage marie. The deceased cure was
VIGOROUSLY a person of economical,
not to say misery, habits, and t}stre
was good ground for the belief that it
had been his practice for many years
to- accumulate and secrete his savings.
Such habit is common enough in out
of-the-way corners of England. ANY
country lawyer in ordinary practice
can tell us OF Enthusiastically old men
or women-who have considerable
sunas, partly in bank notes and partly
in money Of every conceivable denomi-
nacson, slowed away in a teapot. or
the heel OF an old stocking, or beneath
a bDSck in the floor, or under the thatch,
or lle some other equally improbable
hiding place. In France this kind of
thing is not so common as UNIVERSAL.

case there could be little doubt. if any,.
that the money found in the cellar was
the property of the outgoing cure, and
it was accordingly handed over by the
MARIE to- the personal representative
OF the deceased ecclesiastical miser.
That gentleman with 4 liberalitv
worthy OF the occasion, took the Is, 600,
franks, and, by way of showing his
gratitude, made the young priest, to
whose honesty he owed this unexpect-

THE GENTLE SAVAGE.

The Cheyenne Leader tells the follow
ing fearful story of how some Grow
Indians mutilated and tortured a
wounded Sioux whom they captured
On the morning after the battle of the
Rosebud, as the column was moving
away from the place of bivouac, there
suddenly arose among the red allies a
singular excitement. One of them
had ridden up to a dark object lying
beside the stream and sat and gaZed at
it, and after othe~s had joined him,
they all chatted as wildly together as
the South American monkeys when
they discover the propinquity of. a
snake. After gestures ant yells they
dismounted and brandished knives.
Approaching them, there was seen
lying on the fresh dewy grass, under
the gentle shadow of a STOPPING will
low, the most horrible object that
could meet the eye. A dusky human
writhing unler the knives of the mer
CHESS victors. The object was a Sioux,
who in the latter part of the fight, had
been wounded by a snake, scalped, and
left for dead. In tearing the tuft of
raven hair from his head a portion OF
the bone, fractured with stroke of
the tomahawk, had chung to the flesh,
and the brain was laid bare. And yet
in the morning, the savage was still
alive, and hearing the tramp of horses,
and believing his tribe had beaten the
whites, he had crawled out of the gull
ley in which he lay and called, s'Min-
ME y, (water) to a Crow who had pass
ed, and who he undoubtedly thought
was Sioux. The Grow turned, and
his face kindled with a fearful Joy.
Six shots'were fired into the PROSTATE
figure. The head and limbs were sew
cred from the body, and the flesh
hacked land the bones hewn until there
was nothing. recognizable as human.
Infamies too shameful and disgust
ing for record completed the CHASTITY
climax of horror. It was an illustra-

STEMMING THE TIDE.


There was an exciting time last night
about half past 6 o'clock on the Mis-
sissippi river opposite the city, The
evening was cool and rather pleasant
and quite a large number of people
were walking by the river side. Up
the river in the s'great bend'' where
the Mississippi comes sweeping round
the bar just below the mouth of the
kaw river. The boat was loaded with
cord wood and was manned by two
men and q boy. The boat was coming
along quite rapidly, borne on the rapid
current which at the bridge is as wild
as a cataract. The two men were
handling the sweeps or oars, the boy
was at the helm, and Us the current
bore them toward the bridge it became
evident THAT q cillision between the
boat and the middle pier was inevita-
BILE. Another minute and the boat
struck the pier and the boat went over
with its crew beneath it. \ loud cry
OF horror went up from, the people on
shore, and the next minute the boat
went whirling past, bottom up, in the
boiling, rushing current. The boy
came to the surface, clinging to a
plank. One of the men, whose name
was found to be Marion Tucker, floated
past the bridge, chnging to piece of
cord-wood. The third person, the
owner of the boat a man named Moth
ersett, residing in Harlem, swan to
pier No. 8, where he caught hold of a
drift log and so kept himself above
water.
Policeman Collopy, who witnessed
the accident from the shore, Jumped
into one of the Joe Burns boats, and
with another person whose name is
unknown, rowed out into the river and
saved the boy Holiday, who is the son
OF widow residing near Plankinton &
Armours packing house. Joseph Burns
and an assistant started out in boat
and soon overlook and rescued Marion
Tucker, who was floating past the city,
clinging to a stick Of wood. Then
some attention was given to Mother
sett, who still chung with the tenacity
of a drowning man to the middle pier
of the bridge. The current rushed
past the pier with such velocity that
it was impossible to reach it and the
drowning man with Il boat. A rope
ladder was let down from above, but
the man was too weak to climb on it.
He finally succeeded in fastening him.
self to the ladder and was drawn up,
and all were saved. The credit be-
longs mainly to Joseph Burns, the
noatkeeper on the levee. He offered
the use of his boats, manned them,
and not only saved the crew, but fol-
lowed the flatboat down the river and
saved it ut Randolph.
