fishes a statement to the effect that Gen.
Crook narrowly escaped assassination at
the hands Of Crazy Horse, on the occasion
Of the recent disturbances at the Red
Cloud Agency. Crazy Horse had been
working to breed discomfort among the
Indians and urging them TO 60 on the war
path, but could not succeed. Among the
Northern Indians he had been pretty
powerful, but when he came 10 the reser.
walton he found go many chiefs who were

influence and became angry and ill.na.
tured. Gen. Crook sent word that lie
wished to talk with him, and had started
out with Mr.. Clark, an Indian agent, and
interpreter, 10 see him. On his way dowu
to his camp Crook was oyertaken by n
courier, who stated that Crazy Horse, in
conversation with his men, had said that
he intended to talk pretty saucy to the
General, and in case the General should
object he would kill him. Gen. Crook
and his companions, who we're uuarmed,
thereupon, abandoned the idea Of having
a talk with,Crazy Horse, and the pIotter's
arrest and death followed.
Red Cloud, Spotted Tail, Little Bad
Man, Man Afraid Of His Horses, No
Water, and others will go to Washington
the last Of this month.
General Crook left for the East this
evening and will be in Washington when
these chiefs arrive there.

The Rochester Democrat (Rep), whose
editor is a personal friend Of Senator
Conkling, launches out into a long article
giving its views in regard to civil service
reform and its objections to the Custom
House removals in New York city, in the
course Of which il says: =
"ln heavens name then upon what con.
Struclion Of our new civil service order
are these removals TO be justiiied-the
removals Of three OF the most prominent

Interesting Experiments with
The TelcplFOne.

Yesterday afternoon, at the request OF
lessrs. List, Davenport & Parks, we
visited their wareroOms to make a test
Of Prof, Bells telephone. We found
fastened against the wall a small box,
with a mouthpiece like an ordinary
speaking tube, and hanging by what ap.
peared to be n silken cord, but which
was really a wire covered with silk, was
an instrument somewhat bell.shaped in
appearance. We were told to place the
latter to our ear and speak through the
larger box.like telephone, for such 1t was.
In response to our "Helloap there came
in faint but distinct tones, "Helloa, Mr..
Frew, how are you? which we recog.
niEed rs the voice Of our old friend
T. B. A. David, who in fact was at Full.
ton, and with whom we held some further
conversation.
The distance by the route Of the line
was about two miles.
As much as we had read about the tel.
ephonc we were not prepared for any.
thing like the perfection attained for
practical purposes.
The principle on which it works is
briefly this: Inside the wooden portion
OF the instrument is small permanent
magnet, around the end of which are a
few wIndinGs of fine wire wrapped with
silk. The dlaphram at the end of the
mouth piece, vibrating in response to the
voice, induces a current Of electricity,
exceedingly small in quantity, but of
high tension to penetrate the covered
wire and force itself to the other end Of
the line and cause the diaphram Of the
telephone at that end 10 vibrate and re.
produce the sOunds-the talking made at
the speaking end.

GERMAN IN THE SCHOOLS.
Another Letter from Judge Coeh.


What has been said since the action Of
the Board Of Education regulating "Ger.
man in the schools" can scarcely be called
4 controversy rising to the dignity Of a
discussion Of that question.
BY most wicked and depraved arti;
Gle, n Mr.. Gutenberg, a comparative
stranger here and not citizen Of this
country, attacked the personal character
OF individual members Of the School
Board, and at once made the controversy
personal, by pretending that he repre-.
sented the Germans Of The city in that
attack. While he isperSonally unworthy
the attention shown him and the no.Ori.
ETY. he has attained, itSeemed 10 be duty
to the German citizens that they should
see where this fellow, calling himself a
German editor and teacher, was trying to
lead them.
l shall not reply to the recent article
Of some anonymous scri6bler who fur
niShed the brains and EUglish Of the ar.
tiCle, but used the name Of u. Gutenberg;
nor allow myself TO be diverted by his
attempt to give me the personality Of a
liar and Slanderer.
This community is just now more in
terested in knowing who and what Mr..
Gutenberg is, in order to determine
what weight to attach 10 what he says Of
the well known citizens OF our city, and
on questions Of public concern.
In order that he may be measured in
his own half.buShel, aud that the public
may see what q figure he cuts on a Ito
him) foreign heath, let him be put ihe
witness stand in the case Of Gutenberg
against Gutenberg by extracts from the
articles Of G. Gutenberg, written in his
various moods and lenses.
As he feigus to be, or really is, too stu.
pid to understand the force and effect Of
the words written by, and concerning,
himself, / utterly despair working in him
that reformation and modesty which he
80 sadly needs. Hence these words Of his
are only reproduced for the benefit Of
curious public awaiting its turn to be
"marked" and clicked" by the champion
kicker Of Wheeling.
Alter your readers have read these cx-
tracts from his pen let them turn to their
dictionaries and examine the definition
Of these words used by him in speaking
Of citizens OF this city, viz: iniamy,
hatred, enemy, tyrAnnize, repreSs, narrow.
minded, inimical, dishonor, contempt,
degenerate frightful, kick, falsehood,
inglOrious, Scorn, mistrust, shame, swim.
die, foist, hater, disgusting, malignancy.
lfaiter reading these words, his articles
and the face OF their author, they can
believe that he has mo vindictive-
neis in his heart" that he did
not in effect "advIse Germans to
stop business and social intercourse"
with these gentlemen; that he never wrote |
or said anything bad; that he is tin favor
Of harmony" though he will not "lake

Senator SIorton's Condition.

RICHMOND, IND, September 49,
Knowing the extreme weakness OF Sena.
tor Morton many citizens feared the re-
suit Of the excitement attending the PTesi.
dents visit to-day. His medical advisers
and the Senator's family believed that il
the visit was private, without confusion
or unusual demonstration at or near Gov.
Burbank's, that the mental advantages
would by far overbalance the physi.
cal injuries, and the result, so far as
apparent, has proved the wisdom Of their
judgment, one Of the difficulties, which med
ical science could not overcome, was the
unusual depression OF the Senator's spir.
its. He has been for him so long inact-
i've, mentally and physically that at times
even his indomitable will has almost
given way. The Presidents visit and
the cordial, hopeful greetings Of the dis
tinguished guests has removed much OF
his fears that perhaps his paralysis
would render him more Of an invalid than
formerly. That complication Of the de-
sease, which might affect his mind, has
apparently been allayed, and he has
rested since his friends departure and is
in much better condition than since the
attack. At the usual hour tonight DR..
Tompson retired, and the Senator's tran
quill sleep has been almost entirely un-
broken since 9 o'clock up to II o'clock,
with every prospect Of a beneficial nights
slumber,
