The United States government has de-
cided to bring the wandering Indian
tribes to the Missouri River this winter
and measure off their lands to them next
year. With view to carrying out this
intention, the Indian posts and commits
sary stores will probably be removed to
the river, and the tribes will be COM
PEELED to come to them for subsistence.
Indications are not favorable to an early
settlement of the Indian troubles.

Ex.seccetary Sawyer has been tried in
Washington for completely in securing
the passage of a fraudulent cotton claim
for Parkman, Brooks & Co., of Memphis,
for $4,000, and he, with F. W. Brooks,
of the above firm, were convicted and
sentenced to one year in the penitentiary
and one thousand dollars fine. Sawyer
was to receive one thousand dollars, but
the proof did not show that he ever re-
ceived anything, and hence the jury re-
commended him to mercy. The defen.
dants have taken an appeal.

may have destroyed the success of MIR.

he has killed the Republican party, and
as his Senatorial term is shorter than Mr..

The trial of the Louisiana Returning
Board was to have begun on last Monday
in New Orleans. Wells and Anderson
are to be defended by distinguished coun-
sci, and the fight will no doubt be long,
protracted one, if they do not succeed in
disposing of the cases on preliminary
motions. One turn they are seeking is
to secure the transfer of the indictments
to the United States Court for trial. It
is presumed, however, that this will fail
and that the trial will go on.

The Old Man Who Smiled.

One time there was good old man living
in Detroit. His hack was bent, his step was
slow, and men who gazed on his snowy locks
end wrinkled face whispered to each other:
"He is good old man who has not long
to live"
The old man had been well off in his
day, but when he found himself on the shady
side of life, wife dead, he said to his only
son :
"Here, William, take ALL have and let
your home be my home until die"
The son took the papers-you bet he did
and the father was given cozy corner, a
big chair and corncob pipe. All went
well for a year or So and then the son and
the sons wife began to make it uncomforta'
bic for the nice old man in the corner. They
threw out hints, deprived him of his com
forts, one cold day in winter he was told h,
that he had better go to Halifax-Noyi
Scotia.
The old mans heart was sore as he wen
out in the world to battle against hunge
and cold, and when night came he cowere
in doorway and wept like a child.
"Who is making that chin-music u
there ?" called reporter, whose steps ha
been arrested by the sobs, and he went u
the steps, patted the old man on the heaC
and by and by the story was told,
Come down to the station with me, sal
the reporter, taking the old mans arm
"Your son is the first cousin to the man VIII

Famous Weddings and Brides.

History and tradition have handed down
to us wonderful accounts of the magnificent
ceremonials and the gorgeous raiment which
has sgnaIized the weddings of by-gone days,
though some OF the high born danes have
stood at the altar simply appareled. When
Louis XIII. married Anne of Austria her
robe was white satin, and her hair was sim.
ply dressed, without crown or wreath. Isa-
bella of Portugal, as the bride Of the Duke
of Burgundy, wore a dress of splendid em-
broidery, a stomach of ermine, tight sleeves,
cloak bordered with ermine falling from
her shoulders to the ground but she had no
ornaments, and her head dress was white
muslin. When Anne of France, finding
the Archduke Maximillian tardy in his
wooing, gave herself and her dominions to
Charles VIII, she appeared at the imposing
ceremonial of her marriage in robe of
cloth of gold, with designs in raised embroi-
derry upon it, and horrered with priceless
sable. James |. nearly ruined himself in
order to celebrate t marriage Of his daugh-
ter, the Princess Elizabeth and great and
determined was the opposition shown by his
subjects to the marriage tax he raised to de.
fray the S5S, 294 it cost. The ceremony
took place at Whitehall with SO much pomp
that it has formed the precedent for all 9th.
er royal weddings in England which haye
followed. The train of the brides dress,
which was silver cloth, cost one hundred
and thirty pounds. Her hair foated on her
shoulders, intermixed with pearls and dis
monds, and crown of gold was on her
head. Perhaps, however, the marriage Of
Henry l., with Matilda of Scotland, carries
off the palm SO far as outward splendor i
concerned. Bishop Anselm performed ths
ceremony in presence of all the beauty and
chivalry of the realm. The marriage Of
Edward l., in Canterbury cathedral, va,
little less magnificent Margaret Tudor,
when married to James of Scotland, stood
proudly at the altar as her noble lineage
, warranted, crown on her head, her hall
hanging beneath it covered only by caI
of gold, with pearls about her neck. Th,
ill-fated union of Philip and Mary was sol

A Fat Mems Race.

The New York World says: The "Eques
trian games and Field Sports" at the Hippo
drome were enlivened last evening by a fat
mems foot race, open to anybody capable of
turning 200 pounds, and mercifully-or un-
mercifully-separated into three heats The
heavy-footed having been weighed and hav-
ing stripped down close to their pillowy
proportions, ambled forth ponderously upon
the track. First came Joseph Dearsley, who
had no belly to speak of, but who made
224 pounds by fabbness disposed over
considerable length and breadth he had
the pole.
James Huber came next-if anything Sec
opd may be intimated of James Huber Es-
timating from his front extremity he had
start of one quarter of the track, but his
back was plumb with the scratch, and he
promised he would start from that side, He
weighed 3l6 pounds, and if he had lain
down would have been tall man. Patrick
Tansev, iacrtousy called Gin and Bitters
bv the starter. followed with 263 pounds,
and after him John Hoh with 229 pounds OF
stomach rolled up like suet pudding in Il
strained and dstended undershirt. There
were several Others also among them Dan
Regan, who was not fat at all, but who had
| bone and muscle enough to turn the scale at
2l5 pounds. Several who did not weigh 2OO
pounds with their overcoats were ignomini-
ously dismissed.
With the word "Go" each lifted up his
stomach with both hands and moved. Jas.
Huber was by all odds the most attractive
pedestrian, and was encouraged and hound
ed on by the entire Hippodrome. He made
more sxertion than all the Others combined
but owing to the quantity Of him, he had
only achieved few feet when Regan passed
the scratch on the third round, and the gong
rang declaring the heat finished. Huber
came back in an utterly exhausted condition
and they put lemons in his mouth, just a:
they do in the market. But John Hoff KEEP
on and after he made the third round hi
claimed the heat, because, he said, the 9th
ers had only gone around twice. The claim

4 Cool Conductor.

don't know whether you would call it
coolness, or brazen impudence, and perhaps
it don't matter; but for what your French
man understands BY nonchalance, in its most
perfect form of development, commend us
to Pete Frost, aforetime connected with the
Portland and Buckfeld railroad in Maine,
but now serving the B. and p. running from
Boston. 1t was years ago, when Frank o.
J. Smith had put the Buckland branch into
running order, and had built steamer to
connect with Mexico and Rum'ord on the
AnGrusroggin. FROST WAS Que Of the first

the habit Of driving the North Waterford
to collide with an engine and tender be-
tween Mnot and Hebron, by which both en-
gnes were essentially smashed His next
brilliant exploit was close to Bucktield, when
he ran plump into a freight train.
Mr. Smith thought that would answer,
and he dropped polite note to Frost, in.
forming him that his services would be no
longer required on that road. Away posted
Pete to Portland finding Frank o. j. at the
old Elm house.
"Mr. Smith," said he, plumply and un'
blushingly, 81 wish to be reinstated on your
road"
"Whatr' exclaimed the governor. "Put
you back on that road?'

The widest and most improbable of Jules
Vernes' Scientific Romances" contains
nothing more thrilling than an accident
that has occurred at Dunmore, Pa, the great
shipping centre of the Pennsylvania Coal
Company. The coal trains are hoisted up
series of steep plains over the undulatinH
mountains that intervene between Scranton
and Hawley, bya finely regulated and nd.
mirably equipped system of machipery
and where gentle slopes and long 'levels"
occur are sped onward by gravitation, under
control of an experienced corps of brakes
men.
A runaway train down one Of those sharp.
ly sloping places is rare occurrence, every
precaution possible being taken to avert
such an accident Yet, occasionally, there
is runaway, and its headlong fight 10
somewhat terrific. The train of which I
speak consisted of four cars laden with coal.
They were drawn up the plane by stout
wire rope, and were preceded by small
truck known as the "balance car" Just -
they had reached within few feet of the
head house the fastenings gave way, q mo
ment's pause and the coal train commenced
its wild career down the mountain side, stri-
king terror into the hearts of the workmsa
at the engine house as they saw 1t speed
away Down, down it dashed with rush
like whirlwind, gaining in momentum -
it went until it neared the foot of the plane.
| A workman named Durkin, who was On.
gagged pushing a car along branch track
at the foot, Immediately in the way Of the
runaway, saw it approach him and was par
alyzed with awe. 1t was yet several yards
distant, and he made desperate effort 70
escape. But with velocity almost As great
as that of cannon ball it struck him and
the car by which he was standing, sweeping
both distance of 200 yards until Durkiu
and the car collided with large coal train
lying on the level. The scene that ensued
battles description. The crash was followed
by thick cloud of coal, pieces of wood and
iron, and in the midst of the destructive tu.
multi poor Durkin was torn to pieces.
