reached Omaha he gave this information.
Another passenger, man engaged In
business at one of the indian agencies,
also recognized Collins. A day or two
preceding the killing OF Collins and ms
companions detectiye entered the camp
of the robbers at O'Clock in the
morning while they were asleep ana
learned that there were six wcll'armed
men and that they were still in posses
sion of the plumber. He identified Col
Inns and two others. He departed unob-

learning these facts and that the men
were likely soon to separate, Clark tele-
praphed General Pope TO have troops
scout along the line OF the Kansas Pacific
and endeavor 10 intercept them. This
was done with the result as stated. Buff

ton of France as prosperous in the en-

In Ohio there are fifty railroads, eXclu.
siye ofthe narrow gauge.roads-eight of
which did not pay their running cX-
penses during the year 1875. Thirteen
paid no interest on their bonded indebt-
sdness. Seven are in the hands OF recclv-
srs. The gross receipts OF these roads
for 1876 amounted to $34, 1900, while
the operating expenses were S2i ,404, jGj,
leaving S9,7l4,4SI. The total cost OF
these roads, including all debts, was
S3l7. 222 ,232, showing that the net earn
ings are trihc oyer three per cent. OF
the invested capital. The total bonded
Indebtedness OF these roads is Sl70,000,-
900, all OF which bear six per cent. inter.
est or more, so that the net earnings will
not be sufficient to pay the interest on
the bonded debt and leaving nothing for
the millions invested by stockholders, of
which there arc 1900. If this is the

How 20 Cure sIoepleogpess,

Thousands suffer from wakefuluess who
are otherwise in good health. 10 some of
them this becomes q habit, aud too often a
growing one. Some resort to soporiho
drugs, and this is how the opium crave is
often initiated. Others find wine or spirits
occasionally effectual, and are thus induced
to take alcohol every night, and not o few,
it ie to be feared, have in this way laid the
foundation of intemperance. There have,
however, never been wanting people who
have found way OF going to sleep without
resort to sueh measures. The mesmeIists at
one time were popular, and from them host
of people learned that locking ct any fixed
point steadily would often succeed in in.
duoing sleep. In the dark, however, this is
in Braidism, which consisted merely in
closing the eyes and trying to think they
they were watching attentively the stream
of air entering and leaving the nOstrils- 1t
was asserted that whoever would will to
see this stream as If il were visible would
infallibly fall asleep. We have known the
plan succeed, and it is evidently the same
n principle as fixing the attention on any
single visible object. Another plan has
lust reached us, proposed by an American
physician, DR.. Cooke, who tells us that in
numerous cases Of sleeplessness it is
only necessary 70 breathe very slow
ly and quietly for q few minutes
to secure a refreshing sleep. He
thinks that most cases depend on hypere-
mia of the brain, and that in this slow
breathing the blood supply is lesseued
sufficiently 70 make an impression. Ger.
tainly, when the mind Is uncontrollably
Rctive. and so preventing sleep. We have
ascertained from patients whose Observa
tiOns wa9Worth Trusting, that the breath
ing was quick and short, and they have
found they became more disposed to sleep
by breathing slowly. This supports DR..
Cookies practice, but at other times his
plan quite failed. II is certainly worth
any ones while, who ls occasionally sleep
less. to give 1t trial. In doing 60 they
should breathe very quietly, rather deeply,
and at long intervals, but not long enough
to cause the least uneasineas. In fine, they
should initiate person sleeping, and do Il
steadily for several minutes Medical Er

The Cherokee Indians have an alphabet
Of their own, the invention Of one of their
tribe named Sequoyah, who, himself unable
to read in any language, appreciated the
value of the white mans way of trans
mitting intelligence by writing, and, se-
eluding himself In bis hut, evolved from his
inner consciousness the alphabet which Is
now used for printing the Cherokee Ian
guage. This alphabet is phonetic. SequO-
yah discovered that the entire Cherokee
Language consisted Of different combina-
ti0ns OF eighty-eix syllablee, and so con-
strucfed his alphabet of eighty-six charac-
tsrs, each representing one Of the eighty
six sounds in the language. These char
actsrs Or letters any lad Of ordinary intelli-
gence can learn to distinguish and pro-
nOunce il . Week, and when the alphabet is
learned the pupil can read anything In the
Cherokee language. The ease with which
the art Of readiDg In their native language
may be acquired has led the principal man
in the Cherokee nafiOn 70 encourage its
study Ia various ways, believing that many
Of thsir tHiba could be induced TO read In
Cherokee who would never attempt the ac-
eomplis1ment nf 90 dificnlt 6 task 90 learn
