The commission appointed by the Uni
ted States government to proceed to
Fort Walsh will be afforded every facility
Tor making treaty with Sitting Bull for
his .peaceable return TO the reservation
with his tribe. While in Washington
lately, Hon. Mr.. Mills fully explained to
President Hayes the Canadian system Of
dealing with the Indians, and the presi-
dent expressed his intention of adopting
a similar line of policy, and give the
management of the outposts to expert
enced army officers and do away alts-
eether with agents. The Canadian In
dians of the northwest are fercely jeal-
GUS Of the advent of the hostile Sioux,
and it is feared may at any time make
war upon them if their removal is not
secured. 1t is expected the new policy
toward the Indians, about to be adopted
by the president, viii bring about
withdrawal of the American Indians
from Canadian territory.

Miller in the case of J. K. Place & Co.,
of New York, is an instance when law
and equity have Joined hands to protect
the shorn creditors from the wiles and
devices of dishonest business men filing
voluntary petitions in bankruptcy. Like
hundreds of others before him, Place
had taken money from his business, had
invested it in real estate, and had set
tied the same upon Ills wife. Without
doubt, both of them had concurred in
the idea that it would be good thing,
while business was prosperous and credit
good, to build nice home, and secure
the same against all possible contingent
cies of the future. The plan was accord
ingly adopted and carried out, the fine
residence was erected on Fifth avenue,
properly transferred and secured Gas they
thought), and then Mr.. Place and wife
were ready to submit to the inevitable
reyerses of fortune with reader grace
and more submissive will. But the
over-bold creditors stepped in just here,
and very forcibly questioned the right
of Place to thus use their money for his
own personal purposes without as much
as saying By your leave" Or, in other
words, after Place & Co. had failed, the
creditors insisted that the Fifth avenue
property should be sold, and the proceeds
reckoned in with the other assets of the
firm. Whereupon Mrs. Place, through
her agents, objected, and the case was car
ried successfully through the local dis
trict court, the circuit court, and then
up to the United States Supreme Court,
from which decision has been given
that said Fifth avenue property, mas
much as it was purchased with money
taken from the business, rightfuily be-
longs to the company's creditors, its
t-ansference to the wife in the meantime
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
This decision, coming as it does from
the highest legal tribunal in the land,
and therefore final in its nature, becomes
very important to the wives of all busi-
ness men who may be fancying that
property thus secured to them by their
husbands is safe from all further mo-
lestation by legal processes. 1t is also
very important to business men them-
selves, showing them, as it does, that all
such gay and festive schemes to defraud
their lawful creditors of that which has
been intrusted to their management and
care for the time being, will be sure
henceforth to gang aft agley. ~ Chicago

Notwithstanding the Rigid Restrictions
Enforced 'Uith Imported Cattle.
Inc cattle-plague committee of the
British house of commons have agreed in
their report to recommend that al i'm
portatioUs from Germany, Russia and
Belgium be absolutely prohibited, and
that cattle reported from all other coun-
tries be killed at the place of landing;
that stock in the metropolitan markets
should only be removed for slaughter;
that all movement of cattlei in the infected
districts be prohibited; that fairs and
markets be stopped; that the infected
farms be subjected to quarantine; that
the compensation for pleuro-pneumonia
be the same as for the cattle plague; that
all cattle-sheds in towns be subjected to
registration and inspection. Notwith-
standing these stringent measures, the
disease is on the increase in London and
its environs. So infectious is the disease
that it is dangerous for cattle to pass the
infected districts or to breathe the air of
hay or straw from those districts, or to
drink from the pools or fords where dis
eased cattle haEe stFayed. Sheep may

SULPHUR IN SCARLET FEVER.

The marvellous success which has at
tended my treatment of scarlet fever by
sulphur induces me to let my medical
brethren know of my plan, SO that they
may be able to supply the same remedy
without delay. All cases in which fused
it were very well marked, and the cpl
dermis on the arms in each case came
away like the skin of a snake. The fol-
lowing was the exact treatment followed
in each case: Thoroughly annoint the pa
tient twice daily with sulphur ointment; +;
give five or ten grains of sulphur in q
little Jam three times day. Sufficient
sulphur was burned twice daily (on Goals
on a shovel) to fill the roem with the
fumes, and, Of course, was thoroughly
inhaled by the patient. Under this
mode of treatment each case improved
Immediately, and none were over eight
days in making complete recovery, and
| firmly believe in each it was prevented
from spreading by the treatment adopted
One case was in a large school. Having
had a large experience in scarlet fever
last year and this, feel some confidence
in my Judgment, and am of opinion
that the-vsry mildest cases ever saw do
not do half 30 we'll as bad cases do by
the sulphur treatment, and, as far as ]
can Judge, sulphur is as near a specific
for scarlet fever as possible. London

THE GREATEST eoUaE EoNRECoRD.

How some people will charge when
they get good chance is well illustrated
by the case of the ship Gov. Morton,
laden with cotton, recently partially
burned at New Orleans. There were
4,4OO bales on board, of which only $500
were damaged, and they only partially,
as they were afterwards sold for twenty
nine and thirty-two dollars per bale.
The remainder were uninjured. All the
cotton was sold for about $4,000, and
the various persons interested in the
salvage have put in their claims. Two
thirds, or $4,000, are claimed BY the
towboat company as salvage, and $4,000
in addition for towing the ship to the
cotton press. Besides, this association
claims two-thirds of the value of the
vessel. The cotton press then puts in a
claim for s., 900 for storage, or five dol
las and half per bale. Two inspectors
claim enc dollar each per bale, or$8,00O,
while the auctioneer's commissions, mar
shaPs fees and court charges will reach
about $4,000. The total is $120, 800,
leaving the cotton in debt eight hundred
dollars. If the cotton had been entirely
burned up, the owners would have been
eight hundred dollars better of, showing
that it does not pay to have a partial
misfortune at New Orleans. 1t is no
wonder the New Orleans papers charac-
terize these bills as the greatest gouge
on record.n -------- 80.

The house was packed from pit to dome
With the gallant and the gay,
Who had come to see the tragedy
And while the hours away.
There was the ruined spendthriftI
And beauty in her prime;
There was the grave historian,
And there the man of Thyme
And the surly critic front to 'front.'
To see the play of crime.
And there was pompous Ignorance,
And Vice in hOwers and lac;

And the music played apace
But Of all that crowd only saw

When her breath was like the new-mown hay,-
Or the sweetest flowers that grow;
When her heart WAS light aud her soul wa

And there she sat with her great brown eyes
They wore troubled look;
And read the history Of her life

And saw her soul, like Shiny thing

With diamonds on her wrist,
And on her brow cleaning thread
Of pearl and amethyst.

On laugh, and wine and woe,

The play was done, the bitter play,
And the people turned to CO.
And did they see the tragedy?
They saw the painted sceneG
They saw Armand, the jealous fool,
And the sick Partisan queen.
But they did not see the tragedy

-A-Schoolboy or C0rns.

COrns are of twO kinds-yegetabie and
animal. Vegetable corn grows in rows !;
animal corn grows on toes. There are
several kinds of corn; there is the uni
corn. capricorn, corn dodgers, field corn,
anditie corn which is the corn you feet
most. 1t is said, believe; that gOphers
like corn but persons haying c0rns do
not like to 'gO fur" il they can help it.
COrns have kernels, and some colonies
have corns. Vegetable corn grows OH
ears, but animal corn grows on the feet
at the other end of the body. Another
kind of corn is the acorn; these kind
grow on oaks, but there is no hoax about
the corn. The acorn is a corn with an
indefinite article indeed. Try it and see.
Many man when he has corn wishes
it was an acorn. Folks that have cOrns
sometimes send for doctor, and if the
doctor himself is cOrned, he probably
won't do selwell as ifhei isn't. The doc
tor says ,cOrns are produced by tight
boots and shoes, which is probably the
reasOnsw why when man is light they say
he is Stofficd. 1f2a farmer manages well
he can get Il COOL deal of corn on an
acre, but know of 4 farmer that has
one corn that makes the biggest acher on
his farm.4., The bigger crop of vegetable
-cOrn-a man raises the bettrr,he likes H.;
but the bigger crop of animal corn he
raises the better he does not like it,. An
other kind of corn is the corn dOdger.
The way it is made is very simple, and is
rs fOllows-that is if. you want to know:
You go along the street and meet a man
yOn know has q corn and a rough char
sacter; thcn'yoll step on the toe that has
a corn on it. and see if YOU don't have DC.
c;lsion to dodge. In that way you will
find out what Il corn dOdger is.
