concer ned, though inquiries will be
continued privately concerning sun
dry matters. The proceedings last
night were mainly devoted to Pinney's
cross examination of LAGrange, by
which nothing Of special interest was
elected. The most important point
made during the session was in the
testimony of Frank Levine, who has
been employed III years In the Mint.
and who Testified to the following eff

seated, leaving the door ajar and

conversation, of which the principal
points were as follows: Pinney said

soldiers and the 80 Bannock and Sho-

directly on the hostiles' trail, M days
march in the rear. l marched with
him one day and left him IA miles
south of Henry's lake. which place he
intended to reach the same day. The
hostiles are badly demoralized. There
are not to exceed 200 fighting men Of
them. / found freie hters and ranch
men along the Montana stage road in
a very demoralized condition. Freight
FRS who we're on the road between
Sand Holes aud Pleasant Valley at the
time the hostiles struck IL, had left
their wagons where they happened TO
be, in most instances loaded with valu-
able freight, and had taken their stock
to places OF safety. In n Instance !
found two agons one loaded with
metallic cartridges and the other with
powder, but the bostil.s had not dis
iurbed them. As soon as l had passed
over the road, f%reiyhters commenced
moving again. | believe the hostiles
have disturbed no freight on the road.
Howard was pleased to get the Indian
scouts, and thinks they will DO him
good service. Howard and his COM
mand are having a severe campaign,
but all seemed to be- in good spirits,
hoping to finish the hostiles in a short

CONE to think OF IL, it has been a
good while since We received tidings
from the Herald's commissioner"
in the wilds of Africa. An Eastern
exchange thus accounts for his pro-
tracted silence: STANLEY, the Afri-
can explorer, has not been heard from
for several months. His letters, no
doubt, have been interrupted by the
great railroad strike on the Yimyim-
YIN Branch OF the UJiijjji line."
THE telegraph brings news of a fear
full hurricane ut Omaha. Two spans
of the splendid bridge over the Mis-
souri, river At that point were prostrst-
ed; also the telegraph wires; which
accounts for the meagerness of u
Eastern and foreign dispatches.

The nice young man who acts as

was doing a thriving business. He was
a thorough adept at the business, car
ried letters of introduction from PROM

rate politician can resist giving his ap-
proval of any nice young man, elabor-
ately dressed, kid gloved, and carrying
a gold headed cane, when he is the
bearer of letters from Thurlow Weed
and Horatio Seymour. This fellow So
licited subscriptions for an %up-country
newspaper and did a thriving business
procuring money from Schell, Hatch
and Belmont and a host of others. But
he came to grief in the postofice de-
partment. After 'sbiting" several, he, in
turn, got bitten. What will they do

Do you suppose such prominent men
want to be dragged into a police court

s"Ah," said one 'of the bitten ones to

while; it is wonderful. Me prosecute

catch it at my club, and besides it is
too much trouble. He is smart enough
to get along in the world and some day
