THE SUTrEE N PIUTE CAMP Sill
yer State of Friday relates the following story
of witchcraft and proposed suffice or vita
burning
For several nights past the walls of the
Indian doctor, who has been trying after the
fashion of his tribe te drive away the disease
or exercise the evil spirit which had taken
possession of member of his tribe named
Jack, have been waited on the breeze from
the wickiup of the sickman, on the ridge
above town. In vain he howled and jesticu-
lated, the spirit OF Jack departed for the
happy hunting grounds. ~Before he died,
however, he requested that his wife and his
wickiup be burned, as he believed that she
had bewitched him, and was the cause of his
sickness After the death of Jack his rela-
tives and those of his wife held council, and
decided to carry out the will of Jack SO far as
the wickiup was concerned, but to modify
that part of it which related to his wife, by
beating instead of burning her They burned
the camp where Jack had died and procured
the willow sticks with which to beat his wife,
but she being informed of their determination,
escaped during the night, and is now supposed
to be with her brother in Paradise Valley.
The Indians, without exception, seem to
think that Jacks death was caused by the
devilment of his wife Susie Jane, and while a
few of the most sensible ones do not approve
Of burning the woman, all seem to think that
she ought to be severely beaten.

NIkorous. The town of Nikopolis, which
the Russians have captured, is place OF
twenty thousand inhabitants, founded by
Trajan, 20 miles northwest of Sistova and so
from Rustchuk. Near this place was fought
the celebrated battle of Nickopiis, September
%, 1896, when Bayazid Iiderim defeated the
Christian army under Sigismund, King of
Hungary. Like Sistova, Metropolis is situa-
ted on two steep hills, and possesses an
ancient castle. 1t has beside few mosques,
better than the ordinary run of such buildings
in provincial towns, and some small trade Of
its own. The Notifications consist of irregu-
lar lines, with revetments and earthen para
pets, surrounded by deep ditch, hanked by
fat bastions. On the opposite Roumanian
bank is Gieh, where the Aluta flows into the
Danube.

As sort of side entertainment to the
principal performance, elsewhere offered to
Sunday Readers Of the MORNING APPEAL, We
present the following anecdote as related by
the New York Tribune
George Francis Train talks at the rate of
200 words in q minute, and occasionally
pauses for breath. These pauses seem to
annoy HIN, and it is ha,it 10 Eli them up by
calling for the yeas and nays. His auditors
always like TO make a noise, and an affirm
ative response follows as matter OF course,
and then the lecturer having gained his
BREATH proceeds with his remarks. An
audience at Rochester on June 9th was be-
trayed by these tactics into very unfortun-
ate expression of opinion. He had been
complaining that Christianity consigned to
peldition such persons as Shakespeare, Byron,
Franklin and Washington, who were not
within the pale of church membership, eff
ever know hareafter," he exclaimed, 81

influence OF these great men, and want to
grasp their extended hands, even if | have
to go to hell to do it. " 'And by the way"
he added, gasping for breath and appre-
hending the approach Of pause, "all those
in favor Of going to hell with me say aye"
From all quarters of the house came mechan-
cally the laundering response AYE" Then |

TRAJAN'S WALL.

The events now Transporting III the neigh
borhood of the Danube bring into curious
prominence the name of the Emperor Ira jan
the buttresses of whose bridge, we believe,
still stand on the opposite banks of the Dan
ube and whose famous wall seems to be the
line along which the tide of war is rapidly
rolling. The bridge thrown over the Danube
by this great monarch was, in some respects
at least, the most remarkable that successive
belligerents have erected for the passage of
their troops 1t was not mere floating
bridge, but permanent structure, carried On
piers 100 feet high and 60 feet wide, and it
comprised 20 arches, extending altogether
over a span of 4,770 Roman feet. This giant
structure, than which ancient history records
nothing of the kind equal to it, seems to have
been intended as fortress as well as bridge,
Standing eighty feet above the water, it is
supposed to have afforded the command Of
the Danube navigation, a garrison posted on
it being, of course, able to damage or destroy
vessels passing under, while they would be
above the reach of retaliation. It was de-
stroyed by Hadrian. and its precise locality
has been the subject of some dispute. Ruins,
which evidently might have formed the but
tresses of bridge, occurring on the line Of
an old Roman road, however, seem to leave
little room for doubt. Trajan's wall is an
other relic of this terribly energetic old Ro-
man. 1t is, strictly speaking, a rampant of
of earth, about thirty five or forty miles long,
and extends from Rassova, Just at the bend
in the Danube, to the shores of the Black Sea.
Though only an earthwork, it is formidable
line of defense. 1t is eight or ten feet high,
with fosse in front of it, while the western
portion of it is still further fortified by deep
lakes and the swampy valley of Kara-Su. In
addition to all this, another rampant of sim
liar character lies just in the rear OF it. This
is known as the south wall. the space between
the two ranparts being from 1000 to 1000
feet.-Loni0n Globe.

San Francisco, July 2S.-The steamer
City of Toxic, from Hongkong via Yokohama
with large Chinese passenger list, arrived at
l o'clock this morning. BY orders of the
Chief of Police the Chinese will not be landed

About 10 o'clock this morning band of

at their work and captured eight of them,
