Res0lUcd, That m invitation be adj
! dressed to the Amateur Rifle Club Of
New York to send a team to Ireland in
the present year, to shoot a match on
same conditions as Irish-American
matches of 1874, 1875 and 1876.
have peculiar pleasure in forwarding
this resolution, and I hope it will lead to
another of those friendly contests which
have in the last three years been produc-
tive of much good feeling and honorable
rivalry between two nationalities con-
nected otherwise by many agreeable as
sociations. The month of June is sug-
gested rs the most suitable for this
match, as it will enable those gentlemen
whom we hope to welcome as your rep
rcsentatives to take part in the annual
competition of the Irish Rifle Associa-
ton, and subsequently to visit the camp
of the National Rifle Association at
Wimbledon.
I am, dear sir, your very faithful and
sincere friend, ARTHUR B. LEECH.

Raiding an Indian Village.

A correspondent writing from the
Black Hills region says: have another
victory to report, such as it is. Lieut..
Cummings, with Company G of the
Third Cavalry, dropped i'll uninvited
upon an Indian village Of ten lodges on
Grow creek, near the old Custer trail.
AS a surprise party it was a success.
The Indians lit out with a discreet
promptness, leaving their lodges, house
hold gear, sixteen ponies, 600 head of
sheep, and q herd of cattle in the hands
of the troops. After nightfall they raj
lied and attacked the camp, yelling like
SD many stockholders. The affair was
lively while it lasted, but it was soon
over, the Indians not meaning business,
and being easily driven off. One Indian
was killed; no casualties on our side.
The country is fairly swarming with
redskins. They have Just driven q party
from this camp into the Hills. People
who have a preference for a quiet life
had better wait n while before comingon
here to make their fortunes. &s..T@

A Cure for Diphtheria.

DR.. Chenery, of Boston, has, lately
discovered that hyposulphite of soda is
the specific remedy against diphtheria-
that so much dreaded ailment, which of
late years has carried off many valuable
lives. He reports n very large number
of cases (158' within his WI practice)
saved by the use of this remedy. The
dose of the ~hyposulphite is from five to
fifteen grains or more. in syrup, every
two to four hours, according to age and
circumstances. 1t can do no HARM but
if too much is given twill purge; as
much as the patient can bear without
purging is a good rule in the seyerer
cases. The solution or mixture can be
III ed in doses Of five drops to 'laf a
drachm in milk. The amount for thor
ough stimulation is greater than can be
taken in water. The doctor usually
gives it in such doses MS can be easily
taken in milk, using milk besides as O
food for small children. One fact, how
ever, needs to be borne in mind, namely,
the hyposulphite prevents the digestion
of milk and it should be given in less
than an hour after taking the medicine.
They may be used alternately, however,
without interference, in sufficiently fire.

An Indian Duel.

A citizen of Sioux City, says the
Omaha Herald, who has spent much
time among the agencies of the up-river
Indians, says it is amusing, as well as
touching, to hear an Indian sing his
death song.
Our informant was at Standing Rock a
few months since, and one day he OBJ
served an unusual stir among the In
dians. . Soon two bucks came forth from
different lodges, each with a gun in his
hand. They walked ont some little dis
lance from the rest OF the Indians and
took posts, distant from each other about
fifty yards. 1T Il given signal they turn
ed, raised their rifles to their faces, and
fired. Both fell, wounded, II fatally.
They were Immediately surrounded by
friends, who made no particular effort to
bind their wounds, but simply stood
around talking among themselves and
gesticnlating, while the wounded In
dams, as soon rs they fell, began the
death song. There was little music in
it. 1t was q sort of deep down, I'M
natural tone of voice, kept up for half u
minute or so at q time, when it would
cease, and the sufferers would in the i'll
, term make n confession of all the evil
deeds they had ever done. They would
tell of the massacres in which they had
been engaged; how many scalps they
had lifted from tue heads of white peo-
pie; the number of ponies they had
stolen: together with all corts of impor-
tant and unimportant evil doings in
their lifetime. This accomplished, they
were ready to give mp the ghost.
