A World Wolf Rapid dispatch says:
Bill C~ulverson, a Government scout,
was the cause of Sitting Bull being
turned nj of Canada. II occurred in
this way: British officers aud sitting
Bull had a council, after which the
tribe performed the usual dance,
Culverson, who is a young half breed,
joining in. After it was over, he be
came excited, counted his scores, and
said to Sitting Bull, Look! 1 have
killed SO many OF your hostile red
skins!" Sitting Bull drew his revolv-
era movement initiated by Culver
son, but before either Of them could
shoot, Major Walsh, with his revolver
drawn, sprang between them and told
Culverson to put his pistol away.
Turning TO Sitting Bull, he said; Il
want you to understand that you can
not commit any of your deviltries
here a. you did in the United States.
| will give you and your tribe five
days to cave this country. If you are
not gore then, or if you ever return, 1
will fight you. If you are ever caught
here again, or il you shoot this man,

river. The hacienda OF Signor DonoZs
is in ruin. The very soil is gone. OF
the place of Signor Larrea, nothing is
left. The river carried off 500 head OF
cattle at pasture in the fields. The
Aluques river overlooked and caused
great damage. The Cutchico over
flowed, carrying everything before it.
| A splendid machine shop went down
like a card-house at the first rush OF
the waters. So did various mills. The

1000 head of cattle have been destroy

The Tribune. referring to ex Treas
urer Parker's disclosure of ring rob
berries in South Carolina, calls atten-
ton to Parker's evident vindictiveness,
especially toward Chamberlain, and
thinks his statements duplicating
others in the villainy which he o
fesses for himself should be received
with caution. Parker's statement is
the first made pretending specifically
to implicaie Chamberlain, who calmly
denies the single improper transaction
charged to him.
The heavy orders from the West and
South now burdenipg u merchants

fact that local rates for railroad freight
in the South and West are frequently
higher than through rates from the
seaboard.
