An exchange says that doing busi-

is one little difficulty about this state
ment: A man who don't advertise doesn't
do any business to speak of, and pretty
girls are not in the habit of wearing gog-
giles.

A correspondent tells the story of the
cause of Sitting Bull leaving the British
Possessions. He says: "The British Of
ficers and Sitting Bull had council and
after the council the tribe performed the
usual dance. A young half breed, Bill
Culverson, at present Government scout,
joined in the dancing. After it was ovaf
he became excited, counted his scores
and said to Sitting Bull: Look, l have
killed as many of your hostile redskins
Sitting Bull drew his revolver. The
movement was initiated by Culverson,
but, before either could shoot, Mai
Welsh, with his revolver drawn, sprang
between them and told CulversOn to
put his pistol away. Turning to Sitting
Bull, he said: want you to understand
that you cannot commit any of your dew
iltries here as you do in the United States.
l will give you and your tribe five days
to leave this country. If you are not
gone then, or if you ever return, will
fight you. If you are ever caught here
again, or if you shoot this man, I'll have
you hanged by your neck until you are
dead Sitting Bull left the next day

Tweed's Rings.

The Tweed investigation was contin-
ued to-day. Tweed said nearly every
person who furnished supplies had a
friend in the ring; the Supervisors di-
rected said friend to put Is per cent, on
the bill, and this percentage was kept by
the ring; in 1870 this percentage drifted
entirely into Tweed's hands; he made an
arrangement with Ingersoll, Watson s.
Co. and Garvey for the percentage; the
bills were raised 20 per cent, of which
15 per cent. went to the ring; during the
last few years Cummings approved GER
tain bills, and when paid handed the
percentage over to witness; of the six Su-
pervisors, whoever received it divided it,
giving 81 per cent, to each; bills for ma
terial by Cornell & Co. and Eastchester

molly, Ingersoll, Garvey, the Erie Rail

5000, 900 for that purpose; also gave
Senator Winslow $506,OO0 to be dis
tributed between him and other Re-
publican Senators at $4,000 each.
Witness also approached Democrat
ic Senators as well about the bill;
gave some of them money and put the
friends of others on the payroll. Tweed
testified that he paid Hugh Hastings
$40, 900 for his services as lobbyist fol-
the bill. All the Republican Senators
voted for the bill and all the Democrats
except Genet. Connolly AID witness haC

The Huron Disaster.

The United States man-of-war Huron" Geo
p Ryan commanding, with one hundred and
thrty-eight officers and men on board, went
ashore about one o'clock Saturday morning at a
point the North Carolina coast eight miles south
of Kitty Hawk, small settlement between Cape
Henry and Nags Head, few miles from the lat
ter vast sand bar runs parallel with the coast,
and along its whole length even when the sea
is comparatively calm there is fierce line of
breakers, to the dangers of which a very swift
and treacherous current adds greatly. The YES
sci had been out from Hampton Roads, Virginia,
only about twelve hours, and was proceeding To
join the West India squadron. The disaster is
attributed 10 arrangement Of the compass
caused by change in the position of the guns
with which she was armed
The storm had been very severe, The topsails
were set close reefed and also the reefed courses
with the fore and aft sails, but such the vio-
lence of the wind that the canvass WAS blown
from the yards in ribbons and 1t was at once ev-
dent that nothing but the anchors could prevent
the vessel from going on shore. The lead was
hove. and fifteen fathoms of water were reported
As soon AS she drfted into ten fathoms the
anchors were let go, but the violence OF the sea
was such that the stout chain cables parted as II
they were pack thread, and at about one o'c clock
little later the Inflated ship struck broadsde
on An effort had been made previously to get
her off before the wind and run her up on the
beach, but this was rendered abortiye from the
fact that the head sails had previously blown away
As soon almost as she struck she began to thump
heavily, the sea making clean breach over her,
and she soon bged and heeed over on her side.

SLAVERY ABoLIsHED.-In this time of
great events in Europe aud Asia it is not
well to overlook what is passing in the isles
of the sea. Chief of these items of interest
is the fact that the queen of Madagascar
has abolished slavery within her dominions
The proclamation announcing liberty in all
the land was read by the prime minister of
the realm on the Goth of June last, and all
traffic in slaves in the future was strictly
prohibited. la a great assemblage of peo-
pie, and with solemn and impressive cere-
monies, the royal decree was made known.
aud received with shoutings aud rejoicings,
even by those who had been shareholders.
The most significant fact connected with this
act of emancipation is that it was expressly
founded upon the precepts of the gospel, and
was done because the queen was Christian,
and her government Christian govern
ment. So goes the gospel of Christ on its
way to its great and benefcent triumph.
