division has been smitten sorely. All the
three brigades of Schockosky's command
are for the time in state of disorganiza-
ton. A dispatch from Alexandria says
it is reported and generally believed that
six thousand more Egyptian troops are
going to COnstantinopIe. The road was
numbered with broken and retreating
troops, wholly destitute of order; officers
without soldiers and soldiers without
officers, without cohesion and mostly
without arms. At a narrow bridge near
Bulgareni there was wild confusion and
complete. Tumbrils ambulance wagons,
provision wagons, officers, calesches,
horses and carts, were filled with the
wounded; all were jammed in indiscrim-
mate chaos. There had been wounded
found all along the road, but the bulk of
the wounded began a little way beyond
Bulgareni, and extended in an unbroken
line for seven miles along the road to
SstOya. They were mostly carried in
ox-earts, the severe cases in ambulances,
and large number tTamped on fooU. I'M
nlense numbers of wounded had tramped
the whole way from the battlefield, and
were already entering Sistova at six
o'clock yesterday evening. They must
have walked forty miles in twehty-fours,
wounded as they were. Nearly all of
these wounded, however, consisted of
men who had somehow managed to walk
out of the battle; bad cases were mostly
left where they fell.

THE INDIANS.
Seneral Howard Waiting for Reinforce
meRts-Nhat he Proposes to do when
Sanford ArrIVes-Tn the Meantime
Old DOE is Having EverythfuE



Portland press dispatches state that
General Howard is at present at Kamia,
awaiting the arrival of Major Sanford
As soon as that officer joins him General
Howard viii take all the available force
and push vigorously after Joseph and
White Bird, who have already crossed
the Bitter Root mountains, by way of the
Lolo trails He will go through to Mis-
soula as speedily as his command can
move. He viii have in the neighborhood
OF i've hundred men. Another force under
command OF General Wheaton will leave
Fort Lapwai and, moving north, pass
through the Spokane country and cross
over into Montana through the Sahon
Pass. After crossing the mountains the
troops viii. push down to Misson1a, where
they will join General Howard. 1t is
expected that Howard and WheatOn's
detachments will reach that point stimuli
taneOusly. Wheaton will command
about four hundred and fifty or five hun
dred troops, and his detour through the
Spokane Cotntfy will be made at the re-
guest of Indian-Inspector Watkins.
There are a number of tribes squatted
through that region who wish to be
placed ON the reservation. Inspector
Watkins has been authorized to Sc
lect a suitable reservation and locate
the Indians. His principal object
in passing through that country is to
make a personal inspection of the char
acter and disposition of the Indians, the
nature Of those regions and to designate
where reservations are to be located. 1t
is also thought that the marching of a
large force of troops through there will
have a very beneficial effect on the In
6ianc MOzL ~ 4hov,, vooaoollvy die
posed toward the whites, while some are |
inclined to be turbulant. The dctach-
ment will not leave Lapwai for a week |
or more, and any struggling bands of hos
tiles which may have broken away from /
Joseph or White-Bird, and attempt to /
reach the Spokane country, will he inter
cepted by Wheaton and cut off. This |
movement will, it is believed, crush out |
the strength of the hostiles, and bring |
peace to the whole region of country
west Of the Bitter Root mountains, and
with the capture or annihilatiOn of
Joseph's and White-Bi bands of rene
gades, bring the war to a close. Colonel |
Green, with force of cavalry, will re-
main in and about Kama, to protect the
and to cut off all struggling
squads of Indians he can find.
Captain Wilkinson received dispatch
in regard to obtaining the Warm Spring
scouts to accompany General Howard,
through the Lolo trail, to the mountain.
The Indians have mostly gone after fish
and game. have called council for
Monday, the thirtieth, and will send |
word Wednesday night as to the result.
If any scouts are obtained they will come |
to Dallas as soon as possible, and be con-
veyed to the front. General Howard, |
having dispensed with a part of his
scouting force, is very desirOus of secur-
ing number of Warm Spring scouts. |
These scouts, it will be remembered, per |
formed gallant and effective service |
during the MOdOc war.

The yacht Sappho, with the Louisians
state engineer corps on board, has just
completed a voyage of inspection of the
Louisiana levees. beginning at Grand
Lake, Ark, and from that point down.
The ridge between Crank Lake and
Bayou Macon was examined. Also the
Ashton and Bars crevasses; also the
Willow slough cave. These latter were
found to be the worst breaks and lines
for new Ievees were run for their recon
struction. The surveying party were

neer; Major II. B. Richardson, Col. T.
:. Hardee, assistant state engineers; II.
B. Thompson and S. +. Lewis, assistants
To engineers. Gen. J. Floyd King and
Mr.. Shields, of Concordia parish.
The New Orleans Picayune says that
the police iuries afforded all the aid
which they could to the engineers, in the
way of furnishing means 70 employ chain
men and assistants and transportation.
Carroll voted $500 and Tensas $3.50 TO
pay contingent expenses. 1t is not
probable that the mouth Of the Red
river will be surveyed until fall, owing
to the height Of the water. At the last
session Of the legislature a sum Of money
was appropriated TO clear away the OBJ
structions at the mouth Of this river.

That's business.

You should never judge by appear
ances. The other day a weazen~tdCed
little man, wearing So. so suit of clothes,
went to one of the big hotels and regis
teriflg his name as from Texas, asked for
a room, and if breakfast was on the table
The Olympian clerk gazed at him
scOrnfully for a moment, and languidly
remarked:
Any baggage ?"
Ono" replied the guest.
g In that case, replied the clerk, the
rules of the house compel me to insist on
payment in advance"
q Very well, ," said the guest, without
hesitation or appearing offended, take
two days board out of this" and from a
wad OF greenbacks as big as his arm he
produced a 800 note.
81 beg your plrdOn," stammere1 the
abashed clerk, " but we are so often taken
in, and your face not being familiar 10
me l."
" No ofeDse," cheerfully answered the
guest business is business, and rules
are rules 1t does look a little odd to be
without baggage, but as cattle dealers
amt much on style, and"
"That's all right" said the clerk.
" Put up your money, we know gentle
man when we see him. jim, show the
gentleman to 146. Call for the best in
the house. General"
The Old man slowed away an ample
breakfast, got the clerk to give him
small bills for fifty, and asked where
Billy COolbaugh, the banker, had his
office, inquired when they had dinner,
desired the clerk to tell Mr. Farwell, if
he called, that he would be back at two
O'Clock, then went, and hasn't been seen
since. The clerk subsequently discov-
cred that the $50 WIS bad. The sad event
cast gloom over the hotel Office.

gether unsuitable to smoke with a pipe
shorter than two ellis, while the handi-
craftsman, or the official of a lower
order, would be deemed presumptuous
if his pipe-stem transcribed the measure
of that habitual with his class. The gran
dee, in contact or contrast with the man
of low degree, can parade his pipe 10 its
full length; but the man of low degree,
mOdestly thrusting aside or concealiDg
the instrument, must not show more of it
than the mouthpiece, which he holds in
his hand. The pasha can, like the Chin
ney of a steamer, throw forth clouds of
smoke, but the subordinate must only
allOw-small circles of smoke, light as
zepbyrs, TO flow from his lips, and he
must so in his humility c0ntrive it
that the smoke does not go in front of
him, but turns backwards. In the pres
ence of a grandee, not to smoke is re-
garded as a testimony of respect. This
sign of respect a son Is likewise expected
to show towards a father; and a we'll
trained and well-mannered son is he
regarded who, spite of the repeated re-
quest of his father, refuses to smoke

Fashion GOssip.

Grenad ne is full dress for all but
young girls.
Moonlight-bIue is the new shade for
lawn dresses.
New linen collars and cuffs have the
edges embroidered with red, blue or gray.
Pale blue batiste dresses are the novel,
ty for midsummer.
Linen collars are higher and turn
back further from the front than for
merry.
Thin white dresses are to be worn over
skirts Of pale blue or rose colOred lawns
Black silk dresses for summer wear
are trimmed with knife pleatings of
grenadine.
Black canvas grenadiDe made over
silk and trimmed with knife -pleating, is
the fashionable dress for summer mourn
ing.
Linen busters for ladies retain the
Ulster belt in the back, but are less
baggy than the ungainly garments worn
last summer.
An excellent novelty is shoe -buttoner
with a long handle above the hook, so
that it is not necessary to stOQp down to
button a boot.
The latest style of ladies slippers and
low shoes are real lively. Among the
prettiest is the box-tOed slipper of the
finest kid, with a dainty French heel,
straps of the kid, on each side Of which is
a buckle reaching above the ankle, show
ing the bright colOred stocking between,
The mousquetaire cuffs of lace to be
worn outside the sleeve have been her
aided for some time and are now found
among the imPortatiens. They are six
inches deep, and square, or else they are
closed in gauntlet shape for the hand to
be slipped through. At present they are
only shown in the wl-ite and cOlOred
fOrchOn laces that are worn with summer
costumes. Accompanying these are
broad collarettes that fasten behind and
have long jabots in front.
Among the rscent impOrtations, colt
fures are black, and white Spanish, and
lama laces are among the most notable.
They are from twelve to eighteen inches
wide, Obtusely pointed in front and back,
with long rounded lappets, to tie under
the chin. For out ofdOors evening wear
at summer resorts they supply, with an
elegant article, a want long felt by our
fashionable ladies. A still more CONVEX
lent article. of larger and more cOmpTe-
hensive style, combines both a light
mantilla and,the head dress, and the effect,
when gracefully arranged, shows the
wisdom Of the Spanish ladies in adher-
ing to the mantilla.

The Rain Tree.

The consul Of the United states Of
Columbia, in the department of Loreto
(Peru) has written from YIrimaguas TO
president Prado, informing him that in
the woods adjacent to the city Of Moyo-
bamba exists a ee called by the natives
Tamia-caspi (rain tree), which possesses
some remarkable qualities. 1t is tree
of about fifteen metres (abOut FIVE feet)
high when at maturity, and OF about one
metre in diameter at the base, and has
the property of absorbing an immense
quantity of humidity from the atmOs-
phere, which II concentrates and subse-
duently pours forth from its leaves and
branches IN a shower, and Ia such abun-
dance that IN many cases the ground IN
its neighborhoOd Is converted into a per
feet bog. It possesses this curious prop
erty in its greatest degree in the summer,
precisely when the rivers are at their
lowest, and water most scarce, and the
writer proposes that it should be planted
in the more arid regions of Peru, for the
benefit of agriculture.-PaHdn1a Star

Concerning Battle Pieces.

An old soldier has been passing some
hOmely criticisms upon one of Mrs. But
ier's battle pieces. He says the mems
faces look too clean after a days firing
For our own part, the greatest fault We
have to find with the battle pieces of our
great artists is that in too many cases the
uniforms appear to have been made with
some vague intention of fitting the SOL
diers who might wear them. We don't
know how it may be in other countries,
but in the United States army quarter
master who would furnish a uniform
that would fit an infantry soldier any
better than it would a COW, would be
instantly dismissed from the service.
This is a strict law, and there has never
been a strict dismissal under it yet.

ROBINS BAIN-SONG.

o Robin, pipe no more OF rainl
It's four days since we saw the sun,
And still the misty window pane
Is loud With drops that leap and run.
Four days ago the sky was clear,
But " hen my mother heard you call,
She said, That's Rsbin's rain-song dear:
oh, well he knows when rain viii fall"
Fair was the morning, and I wept
Because she would not let me stray
Into the woods for flowers, but kept
Ny feet from wandering away,
And was vexed to hear you cry
So sweetly of the coming storm,
And watched with brimming eyes the sky
Grow cold and dim from clear and warm:
1t seemed to nae you brought it all
With that incessant, plaiutive note;
And still you call the drops to fall
Upon your brown and scarlet coat.
How nice to be a bird like you,
And let the rain come altering down.
Nor mind a bit to be wet through,
Nor fear to spoil ones only gOwnl
But since 1 cannot be a bird,
Sweet Robin, pipe no more of rain ;
Your merrier music is preferred
Forget at last that sad refrain!
And tell us of the sunshine dear
I'm wild to be abroad again,
Seeking for blossoms far and near;
o Robin pipe no more of rain J

shoes with metal sOles are worn at New

one hotel at Long Branch, and one at
SaratOga. The talk about a political
meeting at White Sulphur Springs has
helped to fill the hotels there. The verv
latest fashionable thing for a Young wo-
man to do on a crowded Saratoga piazza
" is to start and amble along in front
suddenly give her head a toss over her
left shoulder, as If expecting some one

down in a reflective manner, then turn
and go back as fast as her pull-back will
permit, looking as busy and as abstracted
as Ifs she had two minutes to paw q note
