THE IDAHO WAR.

The Indian war in Idaho seems to
have been brought to a sudden close
for want of foe. The hostiles have
taken themselves out of that Terri
tory into Montana, with the evident
intention OF escaping to the north
ern wilds where no troops will follow
them. A dispatch dated Helena,
July S31, says: "Advices from MIS-
s. ula to A. NJ, of the 21st, report
eighteen lodges of hosties in the val
ley, having come over the Lolo trail
from Idahn. The indians are conf 9
IN fast. Ali the settlers are moving
into stockades. The Indians appear
to be trying to escape through the
upper end of Bitter Root into the Biz
Horn country. There is no doubt
that they belong to Joseph's band.
The mail rider says it is reported
that quite number of TIE Indians
are wounded. A company of soldiers
lett Fort Ellis for MIssouia yester-
day. Others will follow from other
posts as speedily as possible"

HE New 1"rk sun Furnishes
some facts connected with Horace
Greeley's last days On earth which
have never before been printed. It
says that the blow which Frustrated
Mr.. Greeley and led to his death
WAS the exclusion from his OLD pos,
of editor of The Tribune. After
having given mott g through The
Tribune Of the 7th of November of
his resumption of its editorsnip, he
was misrepresented and abused
in the columns of his own paper,
and attempted in vain for three days
to have a correction inserted. 1t
then became evident to him that he
had been deposed from the control
of The Tribune, and he was shortly
after conveyed to a private insane
asylum, though this fact was con-
tradicted by The Tribune. The
Sun says: "For tue first time Mr..
Greeley felt that he was utterly
helpless. He bowed his bead in
misery and despair, YEARLY wendell
hia way to his desolate home. and
steadily sank into insanity and
DEATH" Almost his last coherent
words were: THE country is gone,
The Tribune is gone and 1 am
gone" According to late accounts
The Tribune has not prospered
under the men who cheated poor
Horace Greeley ont of the control
of the great journal which he
founded, and whose name they
warily placed at the head of its
columns.

A Retired Butcher.

A STORY is related of a worthy trades
man in the butchering line of business,
who, having amassed considerable fort
une by means of a snug family trade in
Shoreditch, disposed of his shop, and re-
tired with his family to villa residence
at Clapham. But somehow the luxury
of idleness did not agree with him, neither
did the brisk air of Clapham- common
agree with his health as did the more sub
stantial atmosphere of the back end of
Bishopsgate. He grew so dull and mop
ish that his friends were alarmed, and a
temporary migration to Margate was re-
solved on. 1t was at the height of the
season, and the select watering place in
question was crowded with mixed COM
pany of visitors, including butchers, both
retired and still on active service, and for
time Mr.. Shortribs quite recovered his
spirits. But on returning to Chaplain
his spirits sank again SO rapidly that it
seemed not improbable that he would
terminate mis- career in melancholy mad
ness. At last, one day, he amazed his
wife by announcing his determination to
return to Margatc for few weeks alone
He felt sure, he said, that, although it
was now the depth of winter, the sea
breeZes would revive him; and he more
over promised to return to Chaplain at
the end of each week, and pass Sunday
with his family. He went, and 10! the
very first week saw change in him that
was almost miraculous. His eye was
brighter, his flesh tirmer; there were even
indications of return of that roseate hue
to which his cheeks had long been stran-
gers. Another week, and he returned
fresher than ever Still another, and he
was the Shortribs of old, with a jovial
laugh. ready joke, and an appetite he
seemed to have lost irrecoyerably when
he quilted Shoreditch. Still he ex-
pressed no desire to settle down once
more at Chaplain. He pleaded for an
other week, and yet one more, until his
wife, with fond woman's foolish mis-
givings, began to suspect that possibly
there might be something more in it than
appeared on the surface. The next time
that her husband, gay and cheerful, set
out with his bag on Monday morning,
she-well, there is no use in mincing the
matter-she caused him TO be watched.
And with a most astonishing result. 1t
was all subterfuge as to Shortribs 60
ing to Margate. He had never, during
the whole period since his health and
spirits began to improve so astonishingly,
been further than Camdentown. There,
at the shop of trustworthy brother
butcher, sworn to secrecy, he had passed
the pleasant time, busy with knife and
steel from Monday morning until Satur-
day night.-AW the Year Round.

CONDUCTOR BRADLEY.

CONDUCTOR BRADLEY-always may his name
Be said with rcverence--as the swift doom came
Smitten to death, a crushed and mangled frame.
Sank with the brake he grasped, just where he
stood,
To do the utmost a brave man could,
And die if need be as brave man should.
Men stopped above him; women dropped their
tears.
On the poor wreck beyond all hope and fears
Lost in the strength and glory of his years.
What heard they? Lo the ghastly lips of pain,
Dead to all thought save duty's move again
" Put out the signal for the other train
No nobler utterance since the world began
From lips of saint or martyr ever ran
Electric through the sympathles of man.
All me how poor and noteless seem to this
The sick, bad dreams of weak selfconsciousness
Our sensual fears of pain, and hopes Of bliss.
Oh, grand. supreme endeavorl not IN vain
That last brave act of failing tongue and brainl
Freighted with life and Mountaineering train.
Following the wrecked one as wave follows wave,
Obeyed the warning which the dead lips gave,
Others he saved, himself he could not save.
Nay! the lost life was saved. He is not dead
Who in his record still the earth shall tread,
With Gods clear aureole shinging round his head.
We bow low in the dust, with all our pride
OF virtue dwarted the noble deed beside.
God give us grace to live as Bradley died

in any one of them, and great care is taken
to prevent either man or animal espe-
cially cat or dog-from stepping across
his body, as otherwise, in the opinion of his
family, he would turn into vampire and
be continual nuisance to them and to
their neighbors. 1he body is buried
without any coffin, in shallow grave,
and left there for three years, during
which time many offerings of food and
wine are placed upon it. At the end of
the third year the bones of the dead man
are dug up, carefully washed, put in a
linen bag, laid before the altar in the
village church, and, after receiving the
blessing of the priest, are finally buried
for good.

Her hand still rested on Toms arm
and they made their way into another

OF that old and exciting game, Button!

the players.

"No, sir; I've got it myself" shouted
a merry, blue-eyed girl, betrayed into
letting out her secret.
A little scene of confusion followed
and then the game went on.
Lucy Ware had looked up at Tom in
surprise. What made you say that?"
she asked.
Because it is true" he answered,
looking at her with mischievous twitch
of the eye.
Miss Lucy looked puzzled.
"Do you want to see itg"
Yes" she answered, with doubtful
look.
He reached in his pocket and held
something out in his hand.
Why" she exclaimed in amazement,

serious again. He had to screw his cour-
age up to the sticking point to utter the
next words.
81 kept it because loved your he
whispered.
"Ohw And Miss Lucy hid her face
in her hands, while her heart beat vio-
lently.
"And I haven't got over it yet" he
said, boldly.
This was very audacious remark, and
Tom had to take breath after it. Miss
Ware also breathed audibly But she
did not spurn him with indignation no,
far from it. Tom finally said, in voice
tritle unsteady:
" l made VOW that morning, part of
which was to work my way out of that
greasy machine shop. I've done that.
The next part was to keep the button
until its owner cared enough for it to
to-repay to-that is, to give herself to
me as condition of its restoration"
Miss Ware looked into his face with
swimming eyes, yet out of the depths of
which still welled up fountain of ire
pressible roguery.
But my sacque has gone out of fash
ion now, and the button will be of no use
to me" she said
Tom looked at her earnestly.
And, besides, think you ought to
be willing to give more than button for
what you ask"
Tom flushed little at this, but sud-
denly seized her hand and exclaimed with
energy:
can give the whole love of an undi-
vided heart-a lifelong devotion-a love
as unchanging and untiring as the sun
that shines! Will that do?"
" l don't know but it will" came in a
faint murmur.
And so the old, old game was played
and who shall say that hearts did not
win?
