England and Our Indian War.

In the British House of Commons, on
on the 21st of July, Sir Edward William
Watkin asked the Under Secretary for
the Colonial Department if he could
give any information regarding the con-
flict between the United States troops
and the Sioux Indians, many of which
tribe are British subjects, and whether
the origin of the conflict was not breach
of treaty regarding an Indian reserva-
ton and subsidies, which may provoke
a widespread antagonism between the
Indians and whites on both American
and British territory. He asked whether
the Government proposed to tender its
good offices in the interest of the Indian
subjects of Great Britain and humanity.
Mr.. Lowther replied that, so far, no in
formation had been received, md he
could not express an opinion as to its
origin or possible consequences. He
had no information tending to show
that any British subjects are connected
with these events. As at present adj
vised the Government has no intention
to interfere.

An interesting article on +" Presidential

A Prison that Has Kept the GallOws
Rusy.

The last report of the Warden and
Directors OF the Connecticut State Prison
shows 252 convicts in that institution,
of whom 121 were received within the
past year. The number last year was
$50. Sixty-eight are of foreign birth.
A reduction in the price of labor of the
prisoners, who are engaged in cigar,
shoe, wirework, and rule making, from
sixty to forty cents day has so far de-
creased the income of the prison as to
leave deficit of $2,S74. The more
humane system of discipline introduced
by Warden Hughes is maintained with
satisfactory results. A striking com
mentary upon the cruel discipline for
merly in vogue there is the fact that III
thirty years there has been only one
hanging in Connecticut for crime COM
mitted outside of the prison, but that in
the same period there have been four
executions for crime perpetrated within

Indian Strength Underestimated.

Sherman and Sheridan certainly un-
derestimate the strength of the hostiles.
Sitting Bulls band, before it was joined
by Crazy Horse, numbered 1,S00 lodges
over 6, 900 effective fighting force-and
Crazy Horse has proven himself strong
enough to defeat Crook in every engage
ment without the aid of Sitting Bull.
Col. Burke, the agent at Standing
Rock, who certainly is well informed and
not disposed to exaggerate their strength,
estimates the fighting force of the Sioux
at 10000, and it should be remembered
that women and children are not ele-
ments of weakness, for every 9-year-
old boy will handle gun, stone, mallet,
or bow to better advantage than major
ity of recruits handle their muskets.
Squaws do the camp drudgery and are
ready for the battle if their services are
needed.-BiSndrck Cor. NeW York

He had presentiment that he should
find his wife in the New World, and his
presentiment was fulfilled.
He fell in love at first sight with Irene
Wolf.
The night of his arrival was the night
of Irene's beauty. In whatever degree
she faded from her perfect brilliancy af-
ter that, his kindled imagination sup
Piled the defect. He saw her first in the
apotheosis wrought in her by the one
cruel moment of her life. He never al
tered from his faith in her bright su-
premacy from that time forth.
For a fortnight he studied her unob-
served and "afar off; then he asked to
be presented, and from that time he de-
voted himself to her with an increasing
devotion.
At the close of the season their engage
ment was announced.
The refined prejudices of the young
lord were not disturbed even by q pro-
longed visit in the Western home OF
Papa and Mamma Wolf. He found
there what he esteemed most, the aris-
tocracy of heart,

Irene took, and for many months and
even years she had no visible part in her
first-loved Western life. But her image
was idolized in that home. MY little
girl was the theme of incessant delight;
and dearly as her affection chung to those
who had filed completely her childish
faith and trust, she never repented her
choice. She loved her husband as truly
as he loved her.

John Collins. talented London pick

and Sankey meetings, and after the de-
parture of the evangelists became pop
nlar singer and exhorter. His piety was
not questioned by his fellow workers,
and his friends among the thieves did
not expose him. Thus he was enabled
to pick pockets with great facility, often
taking the watches and pocketbooks of
men and women while praying at their
sides, or while explaining to them the
way of salvation. Continued success.

9rom the Knoxvilie Tribune.

In the last issue of the Baptist Re-
Hector we notice a communication
from Rev. DR.. D. NJ. Breaker, in
which he speaks of the doings of one
"W. A. Graves alias Gray" in a
manner by no means complimentary.
He states that Graves represented
himself as a Baptist minister at
Chattanooga, about a year -
"his being bin" .,.o,., -, - An, anu

,,-.yuIes of the people, and he was
treated with great kindness" He
also ''preached few times at diff
ferent points in the city, but betray-
ed such an amount of ignorance that
his services were not sought after
wards. Subsequently, he visited sew
eral points in Georgia, particularly
Atlanta, where he obtained liberal
contributions"
He claimed TO be in the employ of
| the Domestic Mission board, but that
body repudiated him. Meanwhile
his conduct had excited suspicion of
his truth and honesty, and a meet
ing of ministers was held, before
which he appeared, but his statements
were so conflicting that he was con-
sidered guilty of falsehood. DR..
Breaker concludes his letter as fol
lows:
Two weeks ago he was published in
J the Christian IldeU as an imposter lie Is
! reported to be at Knoxville, under the
name of Gray, where he is following his
old habits. His wife is a member of thu
