A GAINESVILLE, w. Va, signer of
the Murphy pledge went to Wheeling a
few days since, and, after transacting
his business and while waiting for the
train to take him home, was induced to
forget his pledge to such an extent as to
get drunk. He fell asleep as soon as
the cars started, and the conductor had
no easy task to awaken him. After he
was aroused, instead of presenting his
ticket he handed the conductor his
Murphy pledge. The conductor
punched the pledge and wrote on it,
lone drunk" The GAINESVILLE gen.
tleman's dismay may be imagined when
the next day he exhibited his pledge
that he was a Murphy man.

Chief Joseph's Band-The savages Sur
rounded and Compelled to Lay Down
Their Arms.
The special correspondent of the Chi
cago Times sends from Fort Benton,
Mont, the following particulars of the
surrender of Chief Joseph's band of
Nez Perces savages:
"The capitulation occurred at o'clock
on the afternoon of the 9th. The saw
ages gave up their guns and ammuni-
ton, passing in silent review before Gen.
Miles, and accepting an unconditional
surrender The troops at once occupied
the Indians intrenchments and the first
victory over the redskins during the past
two years was signalized. In the charge
upon the Indian camp on the first day
sixty-four officers and men were killed
and wounded. After the camp had been
surrounded, and the soldiers had secured
defensive positions, only four casual
ties occurred The soldiers closed in
upon the savages slowly but surely, after
the first day all the time extending their
line of rihe-pits. 1t was the purpose of
Gen. Miles to lose no more men in the
attack. How admirably the plan sue
ceeded is already known. On the last
day of the fight the troops had succeeded
in securing a position which commanded
the stream which flowed in front of the
rifle-pits occupied by the enemy,
and had the battle lasted another
day their supply of water would
have been exhausted and a sur
render have become imperative
On the fourth day of the fight
Joseph raised the white flag for the third
time, and, through an interpreter who
surrender, provided they were allowed
to keep their guns. Miles sent word |
back that he must surrender without any
reserve, and the battle was taken up |
again. The white flag was displayed |
again on the fifth and last day of the en-
gsgement, when Joseph appeared in
front of his lines and advanced to meet |
Gen. Miles, to whom he rendered his
gun. He was followed by sixty warriors
who also turned over their arms |
and shook hands with Miles as
they passed. When the troops entered
the rifie-pits forty warriors were discov-
cred disabled by wounds. They were
removed to the camp hospital, and re-
ceived all the attention which was given
to the troops. The number of Indians
killed is not known, as they had already
buried their dead. 1t is supposed that
they lost an equal number with the
sioux. Gen. Miles left al noon yester

Teresa TItienA.

The great artist, Theresa Titiens
almost the last of the noble school of the
old masters, Garcia and Clement, which
gave to the world such singers as Pasta,
Persiani, and Grisi, is dead, and one of
the grandest voices in the world is
silenced forever. With the details of
her ailment the public is familiar. She
was afflicted with n cancerous tumor,
that cruel and hopeless scourge of
woman. Repeated operations had been
made by the most skillful surgeons In
England, which were borne with heroic
fortitude. AS in all such cases, they
raised hopes on the part of her friends
that her life would be saved, but the
horrible malady was too deeply implant-
ed in her system to be eradicated by the
surgeons knife. Each operation afford
ed temporary relief, but at each recur-
renee it ragged with renewed severity,
until death has kindly come to the relief
of the poor sufferer. Madame Titiens
was born in Hamburg in 1884, and APP
peared In opera in her native city at the
early age of 10. She was engaged for
three years at Vienna, removing thence
to England, where she has since resided.
In 1875 she paid brief visit to this
country. She possessed a noble soprano
voice, tull of passion, remarkable for its
breadth, and always grand and imposing
in its delivery. Her dramatic ability
was no less remarkable than her vocal.
She occupied upon the lyric stage the
same position that Rachel occupied and
Ristori now holds upon the dramatic,
and her presentations of the most power
full tragic creations deserve to rank
with theirs.

The Game Of Euchre.-An Arkan.

There is genuine humor in the idea
that an Arkansas man finds the most
natural expression, even of parting ad-
vice to his son, in the language Of the
card table, and the manner. in which the
terms of the game of "euchre'' are there
6tted to the game Of life, is ingenious.

strange parts. You're going to throw
me out of the game and 60 it alone

in style, and his daughter, Mabel, a child

to enter an eastern school. One day lit
