aged, though still hoping that something
to their advantage may yet turn up
through the excitement and exaspera-

refusal of Governor Hartranft and the
Board of Appeals to recommend stay

who have attempted to shield the perpe-
traitors of southern outrages by pointing
to similar atrocities committed in north

CHICAGO, June l6.-A despatch from
Winnipeg, Manitoba, states that dis
patches from Fort Walsh say that Sit
ting Bull is settling between there and
Wood Mountain. He claims to have
won many victories over United States
troops Of which the public know nothing.
A Bismarck special reports the return Of
Rev. Abbott Martin from a conference
with Sitting Bull, held at the latter's
camp in the British possessions May %.
Mr.. Martin was accompanied by six
Sioux Indians and an interpreter. Sitting
Bull was courteous, very hospitable, and
attentive. He told the same old story
of his wrongs in an eloquent and ferv
speech. The conclusion reached was
that Sitting Bull would not return to
the United States, but would remain in
the British possessions. He could moi
bear to surrender his ponies, arms, &c.
besides he feared for food. Father
Martin thinks the band is better of
where they are, and recommends tha
they be encouraged to remain. He be
lieves that the Indian war is over.

SERIOUS FIRE AT woLcoTT.

A most disastrous fire broke out in
the new store Of S. A. Fife, in Wolcott,
about two o'clock on Tuesday morning.
The fire began in the attic, and there
are suspicious that it was the work of
an incendiary, though suspicious have
not settled upon any one. The store
was not yet completed, having been but
recently plastered. An alarm was
given, but, as at Plain6eld, the town is
without a fire department, and the
flames had their own way. After des-
troying this store, the fire spread to the
grist-mill of William Hamilton. which
was also destroyed; attached to this
was a saw-mill, and this was burned.
The flames then devoured a double ten
ement house belonging to Ezekiel Gift
ord. and tenement house occupied by
]. j. Robinson. On the opposite side
Of the road from Robbins was the store
of E. D. Pinney, and this also was
burned. A large pile of lumber neal
the saw-mill, belonging to H. S. Peck
was damaged to the amount of on,
thousand dollars. Luckily there wa
no wind prevailing at the time, which
fact was the only salvation for Fair
mans block. The fire came within
short distance of tie block, but fortu

A LEVEL PRESIDENT.

81 have no quarrel with any Repub-
lican, says the President, "and the fact
that Republican differs from me on
one point should not divide us on others
on which we agree" There is a coed
deal of wisdom, both worldly and celes-
tial, in this position. Accompanied by
a sincere purpose and hearty manner,
it readily explains the success of the
President in disarming opposition. Were
the President less judicious, less sincere,
or less firm he would be at war with his
own party and his Administration would
be drifting to inevitable destruction.
Conscious not only of the rectitude but
of the wisdom of his course, the Presi-
dent can afford to be good natured and
patient. Hence he has no quarrel with
anybody, and as it takes two to make
quarrel nobody can have any quarrel
with him. Attacks on him or on his
policy are vain. He has no click back"
He sheds blows as ducks back sheds
water.
The President is winning by tact.
Thousands of men fail just there. Lin
coin won by it. The Adamses failed
for want of it. Wilson had it. Sumner
lacked it. 1t is better than brains to
the politician it is worth more than
much of his knowledge to the statesman.
The man of tact is harder to beat than
any other man. and if he gets beaten he
is pretty certain to turn his defeat into
victory before his enemy knows it.
The opponents of the President may as
we'll give it up. He is man of destiny
because he is man of tact. His whole
life has been a steadily charging sue
cess. He has thought, health, and pa
thence besides. He has endurance, and
the men who buffet him will die before
he dies. Says shrewd politician
"Hayes has his friends secure; row he
wants his enemies" He will get them
The latter fellows who think they can
worry him or trick him will be dangling
under his arms or peeping from his coat
pockets before they know 1t. He will
use them when he wants them, and they
will be harmless until he does use them
"Honest Ways" wins with the people
and trumps the politicians. Tact neve
succumbs to trickery.-Nashwa Tele

Russia for protection against Moslem

WEIGHT OF THE BoDY.-The weight of the
body is no criterion of tbs valre of the food
taken because while the weight remains
constant or even increases, water may in
crease in the tissues and albumen and fat
diminish or there may be an increase of
weight and deposition of fat, while there is
also, at the same time, elimination of the
albumen of the body. Badly-nourished peo-
pie are usually not lighter than others, but
their bodies contain more water and less albu-
