remarkable feat of /,

A remarkable feat of surgery was
performed upon Gen. David Barrett, of
Whitehall, N. Y, aged 70 years. len
years ago he was injured by falling up
on pile of boards, and splinter of
wood was extracted from bis side. AT
periods since then he has suffered severe
pains in his kidney, which were ascribed
to overwork. Recently he was taken
with more violent pains in the organ
named, and an investigation showed the
presence of . foreign substance. An
ircision disclosed the head of a ten-pen-
ny nail, and further nse OF the scalpel
showed the surgeon that the nail was
imbedded in the old mans kidney, and
that mortitication had set in. The only
chance Of saving the fatient's life was
ne axcisiop ot the organ. shich was
successfully dene. and. Notwithstanding
bis advanced age, Gen. Barrett has
made rapid and sure progress toward
recovery.

The above is the exact likeness of
Sitting Bull, who il the boss ingin.
OF Mr.. Sitting Bulls early history,
but little is known, though it is very
probable that he was brought up in the
backwoods-some ways back
When he was boy he did not have
the advantages of either free schools or
lunches, and he always served himself
instead of the Lord, whenever he got
the chance. He most always got the
chance
Old man Sitting Bull gave him lit
tie red paint and his blessing, which
was all he had for q start in life. He
ran aEouud naked and chased the fleet
footed antelope; but a fellow couldn't
ran around naked in this neighborhood
tor FIVE inmates, although they call it u
free country.
Sitting Bnll was a child of nature,
and lived on . piece of rising ground
called the Big Horn Mountains. He is
the only game man who ever parted his
hair in the middle.
We have seen handsomer men than
Sitting Bull, but none that were cut
out better for wear and dtear-especially
. tare. But good looks amt what
Sitting Bull brags on.
If Sitting Bull had to live his life
over again he would doubtless improve
many lost opportunities; but there
wouldn't be half as many Indian agents
in good health.
And then we'll bet five to one that
S. B. would draw bigger crowd than
Beecher. And crowds are what
counts.
The biggest crowd S. B. ever drew
at one meeting, was last TALL. Perhaps
you have heard OF it. 1t was on the
Rosebud.
The biggest crowd Beecher ever
drew was nigh onto two years ago. Per-
haps you have heard of that. 1t wasn't
on the Rosebud. It was at court
house.
Like all men OF genius, Sitting Bull
loves whisky. If it wasn't for men of
genius whisky would be borne to blush
unseen, even at ten cents blush. a
real Ingin can hide heap OF whisky,
or most anything else; but they always
find it again, especially the whisky.
Whisky and warm weather are about
all Ingin wants, but even hell would
be . resting place, if it had low tenn
perature and good society.
josh Billings says all good Tngins die
young but there amt grave digger
in the United States who ever saw .
dead young Ingin. IT heaven has to
rely on good Ingins for angels, there
| amt naore'n one angel to two hundred
and fifty million square miles.
We could say more about Sitting
Bull, but they say 'stalk about the devil
and he will appear" We wouldn't
have Sitting Bull appear in Cheyenne
until the walking is better. for half our
interest in the Presidential election

(WHICH FOR VVHO@7

A dozen men-iournaliSts, hunters,
Indian-hghters and miners-sat around
a campfire OH the trail to Deadwood.
Soft flakes of snow sailed in eccentric
course through the night air, and finally
settled down into the spluttering fire or
upon the cold earth.
There were other men on the trail be-
fore and behind. Men rush wherever
the precious metal IS discovered. There
were broken wagons, dead horses, and
human skeletons along every mile of
the trail, and ferce-eyed Indians looked
out from every ravine and down upon
travellers from every hill.
The dozen gathered closer as dark
ness shut down and the enow-fiakes
came faster, and by-and-by an old man
said, at If speaking to himself:
"Custer went in to kill. Il was an
awful thing To tio-to rush 800 men
down upon 5000 reds, but he did it.,
and meant to win. No other man will

And yet one was near by who meant

was his step that he almost entered

A substitute for gunpowder has been
invented in England, in the shape of
paper ilnpregnated with q chemical
compound of chlorate Of potash, nitrate
Of potash, prussiate Of potash and chro-
mate OF potash, coupled with little
powdered charcoal and finder. The
paper is rolled around these latter in
the desired sizes for cartridges. The
advantage offered are that no danger of
explosion exists except by actual con-
tact with fire; the interior of the arm is
not soiled less smoke and less rebound
are made than with gunpoWder. and
less damage takes place from humidity.
Very satisfactory trials have been made
of the new material.

WHEN AND How TO EAT FRUrr.-
When fruit does harm il is because it is
eaten at improper times, in improper
quantities, or before it Is ripened and fiE

ed physician has said that ifhis patients
would make practice Of eating . couple
of good oranges bs8UFe breakfast. from
February to juno. his practice would
be gone. The principal evil Is that we
do not eat enough Of fruit; that we iu-
jure its finer qualities with sugar; that
we drown them in cream. We need

In the Honse of Lords, Lord Derby
gave details regarding the extradition
controversy. He said the difficulty
arose becanse America intipaated she
would try Lawrence who was extradit.
ed tor another offense than the one
named under the treaty, if the first
failed. America communicated in An.
gust that she never intended TO try
Lawrence for the second offense. The
British government, therefore, while
maintaining the construction it adopt
ed. felt there was no reason for longer
suspending the operation of the treaty,
and the surrender of Brent the Louis
vile forger, was unconditional because
the conditions were not required. Ar
rangements are continuing, as before the
negotiations now pending, for a new
treaty.

For few days past pigeons have
been flying over town and along our
river hills, giving everybody the gun
ming fever. We notice sportsmen up
from Oil City every day or two, and
as a general thing they secure good
bags. It is amusing to see some Of our
sportsmen empty their guns at n flock
clear out of range, and then grind
their teeth when, before they have time
to load, large flock flies directly over
their heads, within short range.
Some more rain last week raised
the water SO that our lumbermen have
had busy time of it for a few days
past. Several RATS have gone down

The water has not yet been high
enough for o grand rafting excitement,
some of the lumbermen wanting the
river three feet higher 1t is some
what doubtful whether they get that
much water this fall.
Capt. Knox put new roof on
part of his house last week and would
have re rooted the whole business, had
it not been for the wet weather, which
beside making the thing impracticable,
caused rise in the river and creek,
and called his attention to bis lumber
interests.

Forest county oil news still present
a rather slim aspect. In fact, the price
Of oil just at present is not such as to
stimulate searches after new territory.
However, the low price Of oil cannot,

ture have such an influence, develop

The wells on the Kepler farm have
settled down somewhat, but we canno

not now over a dozen houses in Forest
County where gun Of some descrip-
ton cannot be found. Since the ad-
vent of breech-loading arms, the old
muzzle-loaders are going off at very
low figures. We hear of first-class
double-barrel rifle having been sold
recently for SIS. There are some hun
ters, however, and good ones, too, who
prefer the muzzle-loatlers. We sup
pose that not less than 80 to 40 new
guns have come into the county within
the last six months.
