An exciting incident. illustrative of
Western life, occurred, the other even
ing, at the Globe Variety Theatre, at
the town of Sidney. on the Union Paci-
fie Railroad. The Theatre was crowded
with back Killers, bull-whackers and
others. During the performance, big
bury Dutchman, who chad his keg
full of lager yelled out to a bull
whacker:
"Say, mister, bull down your vest, uf
you b'ease."
"What's that, vou --
-" replied the bull-whacker spin
ming out a string of oaths as long as
his arm
"Oh, now, wipe your shin off, said
the Dutchman.
The butI-whacker then pulled cut a
revolver about foot long, cooked il,
and pointed it at the Teutonic slang
singer, who leaned over and coolly
said:
"Mien freund, vas list das? Ist das
elm stomach bump, amt it?
The bull-whscker couldn't stand the
impudence any longer, bnt fired, the
ball grazing the Germans ear, going
through another mans hat, soaring a
scantily dressed beer-ierker almost to
death, and finally lodging in mans
shoulder, causing a slight wound. A
general stampede from the theatre fol-
lowed, and shortly afterwards, the bull
whackef was arrested, and he now
"pulls down his vest' and "wipes of
his CHM in Sidney jail.
The play was resumed after the ar
rest, and everything went on as usual

PRoF. SEELYE, in his speech at the
Fifth Avenue Conference, advanced the
opinion that the country ought to be
cong. atulated that the Democratic
drag-net had caught SO few dishonest
officers. The net was so ample, and
had been pulled SO vigorously, that the
only explanation TO be made of the fact
is that there were few to be caught.
This view of the case is borne out by
the statement just made to the Senate
by the Commissioner of the Custom as
to the receipts and disbursements and
the balances outstanding in the Treas
ury Department. The statment hows
a deficiency In receipts from Customs
for thirty years before 1860 at the rate
Of S25 in 10000, and tor the following
fifteen years of only SO in 100000.
On disbursements the deficiency tor
thirty previous to 1860 was S26 in
$4,000, while for the next fifteen years
it was only S54 in S100, 900. This
indicates that we are not going absolute
| ly to the bad, and that while we might
! be better than we are, we are consider.
ably better, in some regards. than we
| have been.

Dom Pedro Meets am nndlan.

A correspondent who accompanied
Dom Pedro IL. and the brazilian impe-
rial part west from Salt Lake City, re-
lates the following incident in the San
Francisco Chronicle:
At each station where the train
stopped tor any length OF time the
Emperor jumped nilnbly from tho car
and strobe up and down the platform,
gazing at every thing there was to be
seen aud returning the stares of the lit
tie throngs with interest. At Hum
boldt station the most amusing occnr-
renee OF the trip took place. Natchez,
chiet, of the Piutes, who with number
OF his followers had ridden the train
from Winnemucca, pressed with leer-
ing grin up to the side of the imperial
car and hailing the conductor, cried
out, sHie, you! where you capiten?
You savee. look him; me capiteD,
too"
The Emperor emerged from his car,
and observing the Piute chlet, with the
grinning face laughed audibly and ask
ed him what tribe he belonged to.
Natchez answered the qestion civilly
and smilingly reciprocated with the
following: "You savee, what tribe
YOU capiten ?"
The Emperor did not deign to COM
municate the desired information, but
answered with chuckle. He asked
him how many papooses he had, illus
tratiHg his preston with q motherly
undulating movement of his locked
arms. Natchez held up two OF his
fingers. and with true Indian persist
ence asked the Emperor the same
question:: "Capiten, papoose you bow
muchee :"
He was answered only by an imper-
ial laugh which evinced hearty APP
probation of the hnmor OF the scene.
The Emperor continued his enquiries,
most of which were aimed at the num-
bers, condition and disposition of the
Piute nation, and ended with inqulrin'y:
sNatchez, how many squaws you
got p
The Indian chief distended his eyes,
and, throwing up his arms with a ring
ing laugh, remarked to the bevy of by
staniers:
sOh, he capiten, he bad man, he
talkee squaw; he heap bad man.''
The Emperor returned into the
privacy .ot his car amidst roar of
laughter, above which tile melndious
roar OF Natchez was readily distinguish
able.

a Puzzle for Medical MEN.

Says tile New York Setaa: The as
tonishing cure of supposed fatal dis
ease by the manipulation of the hands
on the body of the patient is reported in
the family of Mr.. Charles II. Benson,
one of the editors of the Jersey City
Lce,si3ag Journal. I he patient was
the eldest child of Mr.. Benson, a girl
of 8 years. Her recovery from a dam
gerous illness, and her complete restora-
tion to health, as described by ner
parents, may be considered by some as
manifestation of spiritualistic power,
and by others as the result of animal
magnetism. Mr.. and Mrs. Benson say
that their daughter was prostrated by
acute bronchial affection IN the early
part OF last August. She had all the
symptoms of consumption. Her cheeks
showed the hectic flush of disease, the
pulse was quick and irregular and night
sweats and daily levers reduced her
body to skeleton. A hard, racklng
cough at night, aud constant expectora-
ton in the day, marked the case.
Three physicians said that she could
not possibly live.
EarIy in January, when the girls
death was daily looked for, Mr. Will
liam Winslow Bennett, next door
neighbor of Mr.. Benson's ard an avowed
believer in spiritualistic manifestations,
called into Mr. Benson's house at 362
Fifth Street, Jersey City, and said that
the little girls cough kept him awake
at night, aud he desired to have it stop
ped. He said that he could hear her
coughing III the room where he slept
| Mr.. Benson told him that the noise OF
the coughing would not trouble him
much longer. Mr. Bennett replied that
he had come to cure the child through
| the aid of spirits, and he asked the par
ents' permission to lay his hands on the
invalid. Not having any faith in spir-
itua ism they refused to consent to his
mode of treatment.
Mr.. Bennett renewed his offer with
such persistency hat both Mr. aid Mrs.
Benson decided to let him try his
powers. He at once went to work.
He first bathed his hands in salt and
water. The child was placed OH his
lap, after being clothed in loose gar
ment which would admit OF the manipu-
lations, over the flesh. Said tire
medium, Il will not move my hands
but will await the action of the spirits
who are present"
In few minutes his hand began to
move around the throat Of the sufferer
That night her cough was not so bad
as it had been.
Mr.. Bennett continued his laying OF
of hands every night for three mouths
He began his operations regularly at
| o'clock. One evening he was twenty
minutes late, and he said that he coult
not move his hand, as the spirits wer,
not in the room.
Mr.. Benson says that his daughter i
entirely we'll
1t is said that Mr.. Bennett has mad
other equally astonishing cures, one be
ing that OF ex-Congressman Lawrence
OF Ohio who had pneumonia.

A startling rumor comes from Paris
that long gloves reaching nearly to the
