Our Surplus Wheat.

It is generally conceded that the
foreign demand for our cereals will
be enormous. Says the New York
World: with the shortness of the
crops, or even an average crop in
Central and Western Europe itseems
therefore, that at least two-thirds Of
the wheat usually shipped from Rus
sia to England and France will be
called for from this country. The
Importance Of this virtually new out
let of our surplus may be judged
from the fact that the export ofwheat
from Russia to England alone for the
five years named above was Of the
average value of 910,000,000, or al
most the same as our own export OF
wheat for the same years. Such an
access to our trade as a doubling Of
our export of wheat would be Of great
importance toius Mt any time. AT
this time it is of vast Importance.
OF our own ability to meet this in
creased demand the assurance Of our
magnificent wheat crop leaves us no
doubt. 1t is the opinion of careful
experts that the surplus Of this crop
available transportation will be be-
tween eighty and one hundred mil
lions of bushels. The promise of u

intercept the Indians in their attempt
to cross towards Salmon River again
The boys will give them sharp fight,
should they come up with them.
4P.M.
Mr.. Rudolph has just returned from
Towards camp and reports that the
Gen. learned this morning from KAMA
Indians that the Indians had gone to
KAMA and asked that he pursue them.
Rudolph says the whole command have
gone in that direction. They further
learned that Howard had killed 70 In
dams and captured large amount of
stock, they found many horses killed
by the shells. We were also informed
by our scouts that Col. McConville is
with his command back on the bluff
from Kama and we hope for further
good reports. Howard burnt their
camps and much plumber.
In haste.

From the foregoing it appears that
Joseph is much crippled and is being
driven with much loss of both men and
stock and other supplies. 1t is barely
possible that he will not again attempt
to come south of Clearwater. Most of
the fighting during the three days above
named has been done on the reservation,
and near the KAMA Agency.

A Dash IVrO1t0h Fire.

Recently travellers on their way from
Paris to Lyons met with an alarming and
extraordinary adventure. On approach
ing Moulins the guard perceived that
the line was obstructed by an immense
flame, which rose high into the air and
enveloped the spot for distance of sew
eral hundred yards. A fire had broken
out in the Faubourg Chaveau, bordering
on the railway, and in a few minutes
assumed formidable proportions. The
position of the train was most critical.
Stop there it could not, without a Ger.
tainty of being run into and smashed
by the express. So the guard ordered
all the windows of the compartments to
be closed, covered up the luggage wagons
and then the train dashed through the
fire. The train, on getting out of the
flames and smoke, was again stopped
and examined, but beyond the fright Of
the passengers and little scorching Of
the wood of the compartments, no harm
was done. The train then continued
its interrupted course, while the fire
ragged away. The prefect, the bishop
and all the authorities were soon on the
spot, but in spite of the prompt attend
ance of the fremen and the efforts o.
the military, such was the iIfammable
nature of the materials ON which the
fire played that before it was extin
guished nine houses, sixty barns, and
forty-seven stables were burned down
A great number of animals perished il
the flames.

1t is the rich who want most things.
Towers are measured by their shadow,
and great men by those who are envious
of them.
We must do quickly what there is no
hurry for, to be able to do slowly what
demands haste.
He who wishes to secure the good OF
others, has already secured his own.
The court is like the sea-everything
depends upon the wind.
What pleasure it is to give! There
would be no rich people if they were Ca
pable of feeling this.
The rich find relations in the most re-
mote foreign counties; the poor not
even in the bosom of their own families.
Who is the greatest liar? He who
speaks most of himself.
When song gives much fame, virtue
gives very little.
For him who does everything in its
proper time, one day is worth three.
The way to glory is through the palace
to fortune through the market; to virtue
through the desert.
The truths that we least wish to heal
are those which it is most to our advan
tage to know.

in relation to an attempt of the Treasurer
OF Clinton County to collect tax on cars
passing through the county. The commune
cation recites that they have filed bill in
equity in the United States Circuit Court,
and have notified the Treasurer that ON
Saturday they will apply to the Court for a
restraining order against collecting tax on
cars passed over the Marietta & Cincinnati
road, and that this will be made test case.
February 8, there was no quorum in either
branch of the Legislature, a call of the
House showing only forty-two members,
while the Senate could muster but twelve.
In the Senate nothing was done besides a
little routine business, except the introduc-
tion of a bill by Mr.. Beatty, to provide for
the registration of voters, and prescribing,
as condition of exercising the elective
franchise for non-registered electors, resi-
denee in a county $50 days, and in township
or ward $50 days. The Senate then ad-
journed till Monday. The morning session
in the House did not exceed ten minutes in
length, and nothing whatever was done.

Alire in an AEf-TIght Coffin.

The body of man who went to Cali
fornia to regain his health was recently
shipped in metallic coffin for his former
home in the East. When the Central
Pacific train arrived at Ogden Junction
the corpse was consigned to the Union
Express Company, and placed in charge
of Express Messenger Frank Burgess.
While the train was in the western part
of Nebraska, Mr.. Burgess heard sounds
from the coffin that led him to believe
that the dead man had come to life. 1t
was in the night, and he heard the
sounds as he lay doing and half asleep.
Again tine noise was heard, and the at
tention of the Messenger was riveted to
the coffin, and the horrible possibility
that the dead might be alive thrust itself
upon the Messenger so forcibly that he
called the attention of other employees
to it, but, after listening moment, they
merely laughed at him. The convictions
of the Express Messenger, however, were
so strong that he had heard means from
the coffin that he had the case opened
when the train made its next halt. The
weather was very cold and upon the in
side of the glass plate of the coffin there
had accumulated thin film of frost,
such as might have been deposited by
the breath of per.on confined in such
narrow quarters. The face was also
drawn up against the glass plate, and
other disturbances indicated life. While
Burgess had no doubt that the man,
though dead then, had been alive in the
coffin, the other employees explained the
accumulation OF frost on the glass as
natural exhalations of the dead body
and the disturbances of the corpse as due
to the movements in shipping.
A private dispatch, received from
Chicago last night, says that when the
coffin arrived at its destination and wa
opened unmistakable proofs of the terri
Bile truth were discovered. The hand
we've clenched, the lips bitten and tn
mouth filled with bloody froth. Th
man had been alive, and it was hi
moaning that had been heard. but no
recognized.

Sirteen Thou sand Dollars Paid for
1tcO Pink Vases OF Ofd kecres.


In the drawing-room of the Marquis
of Durfort, at his chateau of la Feire-
Saint-Cyr, a pair of vases with covers, of
pink old Sevres, have stood on the same
table for over a century. A bat, not
long since happening to get into the
drawing-room, and dashing round and
round, after the manner of those disa-
greeable creatures when they find them
selves caught in any inclosure, threw
down one of these vases and broke the
cover, which was mended as neatly as
might be. The incident attracted the
attention of visitor to these vases,
which nobody had noticed previously.
A few days afterward a dealer in curios-
tiles called on the Marquis, bringing a
letter of introduction from the friend in
question. and told him that he had come
from Paris expressly to see the two vases,
which he was accordingly allowed to
see, and which he examined with all the
air of connoisseur. The dealer would
fain have bought them, but the Marquis
was not dealer in porcelain.
A day or two afterward he received
letter from the man entreating the Mar
auis to fix his own price for the two
vases. Several other letters, repeating
the same request, arrived at short inter
walls, until the Marquis, annoyed at the
dealers persistence, consulted his in
tendant on the subject, remarking: "We
must really do something to discourage
this prosecutor; what reply had better
make to him."
Tell him he may have them for sixty
Thousand francsp' said the intendant,
with laugh.
The Marquis, amused with the idea,
replied accordingly to the persevering
dealer, supposing that such reply would
put ,n end to the correspondence. But,
to his astonishment, he received next
moming telegram saying, "The vases
are mine. 1 am ON the road to your
chateau, bringing with ME the sixty
thousand francs"
/ wrote in joke" said the Marquis
to the dealer, when the latter arrived,
"otherwise l should have replied to
your propositions by repeating my re-
fusal to sell these vases at any price.
But have never allowed my signature
to be protested, and can not do SO now.
The vases are yours he continued, as
the dealer laid the roll of bank notes on
the table before him, "but hope you
win explain to me why you have bought
them"
"Most willingly, Monsieur lie Mar
quis," replied the dealer. "Sir Richard
Wallace's collection of old Sevres por-
celain was incomplete: it lacked pre-
cisely the pink shade; these vases are
just what he needs to complete his col.
lection, and l have sold them to him for
eighty thousand francs"

awoke from his stupor, he found his
faithful dog lying near him. Dhu had
fallen over some little distance from his
master and had dragged himself, severely
cut and injured, 10 his masters side.
MacGregor spoke to the dog, who strug.
gled to rise and answer him. As his senses
grew clearer he saw that his only saliva
ton depended upon his dog if he could
only reach the nearest house they would
understand and follow him to the place
where the accident had happened. Lay
ing his hand on the dogs head, Mac
Gregor said slowly and clearly, HE,
fetch them, Dhup' Dhu looked in his
face, unwilling to leave him. The order
was repeated and the noble dog strug-
gled to his feet. Finding place where
he could scramble up, he started as quick
as he could down the brae. At last he
reached the small public house, some
eight miles down the glen, where Mac
Gregor was wont to water his horse. He
reused the people by barking, and on
opening the door they found him sunk
on the ground againstit, quite exhausted.
They recognized him at once and knew
some accident must have happened.
They carried him in and endeavored to
restore him little as he was indispensa.
BILE for showing them the way. When
all was ready they carried him out and
put him down on the ground. Dhu
seemed to know all depended upon him.
Gathering himself up, he turned to the
steep brae, down which he had previously
come, now marked with blood. The
storm ragged fercely, and they could only
make slow way. The gallant dog held
steadily on till he reached the place
where it was possible to descend. 1t was
inky dark by this time, and as the men
looked over the edge, they could see moth
ing but the CLEAN of foaming water be,
low them, and hear nothing but the wild
shrek of the wind. By the light of their
lanterns they cautiously followed Dhu,
clinging to the grass above them as they
clambered down. Presently the dog
quickened his pace and disappeared
round the jutting ledge of rock. A
few steps brought them to the object OF
their search. MacGregor was by this
time insensible, and as they turned their
lanterns on his face, they thought him
dead. He was a sight not often seen.
Living with his head on his masters
breast lay the body of the brave dog who
had guided them so truly. The neces-
sity for exertion was over; his work was
fully done, and death had released him
from his pain. MacGregor's life was
saved, though he never recovered the
effects of that awful night, in which he
used to say, "he had lost the best friend
he ever had" "Only a dogT-aye

he had to give-his answering fidelity

A WRITER in the indianapolis Sentinel

A WRITER in the indianapolis Sentinel
has cast gloom over the community
by computing the cost of dying. He
reckons that there are 1, ,423, ,917 900 of us
on this terrestrial ball, of whom 43, ,455,-
060 die every year. 1t costs about 800
properly to put away Christian, so if
all the world demanded a Christian
burial, the funerals would cost every
year about twice as much as our national
debt. And the worst of it is that all
this falls upon those we leave behind us;
we never pay for our own funerals.
Something must be done. We must
either go in for cremation or give up
| first-class funerals. To be sure twill be
hard on undertakers, and the hackmen
will mourn, but must we continue to die
that they must live? The reform must
! be started, but where and by whom?
