Chinese Culinary Mysteries,

Americans who dine with the Chinese
are surprised at the perfection to which
they have carried their cooking. During
a recent Chinese banquet at San Fran
cisco an orange was laid at the plate of
each guest. The orange itself seemed
like any other orange, but on being cut
open was found to contain within the
rind five kinds of delicate jellies. One
was at first puzzled to know how the jel.
lies got in, and, giving up the chain of
reflection, was in worse quandary to
know how the pulpy part of the orange
got out. Colored eggs were also served,
in the inside of which were found nuts,
jcllies, meats and confectionery. When
one of the Americans asked the interpret
er to explain this legerdemain of cook
cry he expanded his mouth in hearty
laugh and shook his head and said:
" Mclean man heap smart-whY he not
findee out2"

FORT BENTON, Mont, Oct. Q.

FORT BENTON, Mont, Oct. v.
The capitulaton of the entire band of
Nez Perces under Joseph occurred at two
o'clock on the afternoon of Oct. 5. The
savages gave up their guns and ammuni-
tion, passing in review before Gen. Miles,
and accepting an unconditional surren-
der. The troops at once occupied the
Indians intrenchments, and the first vic.
tory over the redskins during the past
two years was signalized. After the In
dian camp had been surrounded and the
soldiers had secured defensive positions,
only four casualties occurred. The
soldiers closed in upon the savages slow
ly but surely after the first day, all the
time extending their line of rihe-pits. 1t
was the purpose of Gen. Miles to lose no
more men in the attack. On the fourth
day of the fight Joseph raised a white
flag for the third time, and through an
interpreter offered to surrender, provided
they were allowed to keep their guns.
Gen. Miles sent word that he must sur
render without reserve and the battle
was again renewed. The white flag was
displayed again on the fifth and last day
when Joseph appeared in front of his lines
and advanced to meet Gen. Miles, to whom
he rendered his gun. He was followed
by sixty warriors, who also turned
over their arms, and shook hands with
Gen. Miles. When the troops entered
the rifle pits forty warriors we're discov-
cred disabled by wounds. They were
removed to the camp hospitals. The
number of Indians killed is not known,
as they had already buried their dead
Gen. Miles left at noon on Sunday for
Tongue River, taking with him his dead
and wounded and the surrendered band
Gen. Sturgis did not arrive in time to
take hand in the fight, and the glory
of the victory rests with Gen. Miles, Gen.
Howard, with an escort of seventeen men,
arrived on the field on the morning of
the surrender. His presence there was
not understood, and he made no attempt
to assume command. He left his in
fantry at the Missouri River and with his
cavalry proceeded to the scene of the
battle. The intrenchments occupied by
the Indians consisted in all of over 1850
riae-pits, which communicated with each
other so that assistance could be rem
dered if necessary. The squaws fought
by the side of the warriors, took care of
the wounded and buried the dead.

The comments on our defeat in Ohio
are prompt and various. So large field
for inference and conjecture has not been
offered to the political theorists for some
time, and they are improving the oppor-
tunity. The New York Tribune thinks
that while the direct bearing of the Ohio
contest on national issues was very slight,
1T may indirectly have an excellent ef-
feet upon the Western Republicans"
1.-TWO years ago." says the Tribune,
they met their adversaries in Ohio on
the high ground of national honesty, and
after hard fight they beat them glOri-
ously, This year they have fallen back
from the noble position which they then
conquered, and they are overwhelmed.
Another year they will perhaps under
stand that honesty is the best policy"
The Tribune, like most other Eastern
newspapers, exaggerates the Importance
of the financial issue in this years can
vass, Not that the Ohio Republicans
are any less sound on that subject than
they were two years ago, but resumption
is not live issue. Two years ago we
carried the State on it, and settled the
question so far as Ohio is concerned.
The Republicans of Ohio understand
that resumption Of specie payment is
! coming on the LIST Of January, 1879. They

Little Isaac.

The trec-frog cannot be called an insect
reptile or one of the winged host; he has
four legs, the two foremost short, with
claws as sharp as those Of a squirrel; the
hind legs five inches long, and folded by
three joints. His body is about as large
as the first joint of man 3 thumb. Under
his throat is a wind bag which assists him
in singing Isaac all night. When it
rains and tits very dark he sings the loud
est. His voice is not so pleasing as that
Of the nightingale; but this would be a
venial imperfcction, if he would but keep
silence on Saturday nights, and not con-
tinually prefer I-sa-ac to Abraham and
Jacob. He has more elasticity in his long
legs than any other creature yet known.
By this means he will leap five yards up
tree, fasten himself to it by his fore
legs and in moment will hop or spring
as far from one tree to another. It is
from the singing Of the tree frog that the
Americans have acquired the name of lit
tie Isaac. Indeed, like certain part of
them, the creature appears very devout,
noisy. arbitrary and phlegmatic, and as
sociates with none but what agree with
him in his ways.-Peter's History Of Con-
nccticut.

THE CONFLICT IN THE OLD WORLD

The London Post authoritatively de-
MES that Col. Baker and other English officers
have been sent to Constantinople. An Erze-
roum dispatch says: Mukhtar Pasha is SAFE
He occupies strong position at Yenikoi
west of the saghanludagh. 1smail Pasha's
retreat and junction with Mukhtar are Sc
riously menaced. Russia has ordered the mo-
bilization of all Cossacks not yet in active SER
vice. They will amount to 81 regiments. A
correspondent at Biela reports the czarowitch
is pushing forward against Rasgrad, leaving
one corps to operate against Rustchuk.
Several accounts concur in stating that
the Turks have commenced vigorous bonn
bardment against the Russian positions in
Shipka Pass and have already sileneed one
Russian battery. A correspondent at Ras-
grad states that the Egyptians, before their re-
moval to Varna, suffered drcadfully, three or
four hundred going into hospital daily with
dysentery.
Sulieman Pasha telegraphs under date
of Oct. 25, as follows: To-day twelve battal-
ions of Russians with cavalry and artillery, at
tackled the works of Rustchuk. The Turks
made sortic and forced the Russians to retire
into theiricntrcnchmentsa at Pyrgos, with loss
of $50 killed and wounded Four Russian di.
visions attacked the Turkish line on the Lom,
and were repulsed with loss of eight hun
dred killed and some prisoners. The Turkish
loss is one hundred and sixty -four killed and
sixty wounded.
The impression is that since the rain
the Russians are CONVINCED of the impossible
jty Of wintcring in Bulgaria, and Will make a
desperate effort to reduce Plevna and defeat
Suleiman Pasha's army before retirement into
Roumania. Turkey is about to negotiate a
newloan of five million pounds: interest se-
cured by the e2S0,0o0 Of the Egyptian tribute
1t is reported that the Russians pursu-
ing Ghazi Mukhtar have advanced as far as
Khorassan, and Mukhtar has retreated to
Kaprikoi, between Khorassan and Hassan
Kaleh. Erzeroum is preparing for siege.
The inhabitants are arming, and reinforce
ments are fastening up from Trcbizond.
Ghazi Mukhtar, however, reports that the
Russians have not advanced further than
Melidoo, on the Western slope of Loghatner
Dagh, which is more probable than the first
statement. Doubtless state of panic pre-
walls at Erzeroum, giving rise to all sorts of
unfavorable rumors.
