at the End OF the Rainbow J
From III The Year Round.

According to popular belief, the
extrcnitics of rainbow always
touch streams, whence it draws
water, by means of two largo golden
dishes. That is why it rains for
threo days after the appearance of q
rainbow, because tho water must
fall again on the earth Whoever
arrives at the right moment at the
spot whore the rainbow is drinking,
can take possession of the golden
dish, which reflects all the colors of
the rainbow; but if nobody is there
the dishes arc again drawn UP into
the clouds Some say that the
rainbow always let's a dish fall.
This once happened at Reutlingen,
in Swabia. 1t broke in several
pieces, but the fpder received 4
hundred gulden for it. At Tubin,
gen, people used to run to the end
of the rainbow, which appeared to
be resting over the Neckar or the
Steinlach, to secure the golden dish.
Usually it is considered wrong to
sell the dish, which ought to be
kept as an heirloom in the family,
for it brings good luck. A. shop
herd in the Swabian Alps once found
such dish, and he never afterward
lost q sheep. An unfortunate
native of Heubach, who sold the
treasure ut high price, was struck
dumb on the spot. Small round
gold coins, marked with cross or.
star, are frequently found in
Swabia, and the peasants declare
that these were manufactured from
tho rainbow dishes by tho Romans
when they invaded Germany. In
the Black Forest, tho rainbow uses:
n golden goblet, which is afterward
dropped. A shoe thrown into
rainbow comes back filled with
gold. Tho Sorvains havea theory
that passing beneath q rainbow
changes the AmenE become
women and 0ice uersa.

AT this moment, comes courier
to General Terry from General
Niles camp on Snake Greek, an
nouncing an event which arouses q
cheer in the tents which will be re-
echoed throughout tho country.
Miles has sublucl the Ncz perces.
Hurrah A Drawer band Of Indians
never upheld tho fame and prowess
of their aboriginal race.
Daring the charge on tho first
day, i'll which the companies of tho
Fifth infaatry and Seventh cavalry
p.rtici pntcd, the number Of killed
and wounded soldiers was sixty
seven. More than fifty warriors too
bit their last morscl from the dust
OF the ravine, where they were con-
fined i'll holes and burrows for three
days and nights. They stayed all
through the day and night previous
to the surrender with untiring per-
tinacity. Their scouts had gone to
Sitting Bull for assistance, but had
not succeeded i'll returning to the
Me- Pcrccs camp. Twice Joseph
had offered to surrender, and once his
dlspo5itlon was opposed by his high
est chiefs. White Bird objected TO
surrcndering, because he anticipat-
ei that he and all the tribe would
be rcSa- ded as prisoners, and put in
handcutls. Mo no get il trap"
SAID this redoubtablc copperskin !;
''no use prison bettor die But
on the 9th, Joseph made treaty.
White Bird and tho rest of the
minor che were by this time no.
whore. Their followers were us
wiling to surrender as Joseph was
and the secret Of the capitulation
must be sought in a total error
on the part Of the savages rs we'll as
III the gallantry of General Miles
troops. The Indians did not dream
at inst that they were fighting any
other than General Howards
troops, which they had before en-.
countcrcd. Joseph had not yet
learned that he had General Gibbon
at Big Hole. In fact, tho Indians
all OF thcm had SO insufficient a
knowledge of tho action of the
United States government that they
were 50 surprised when they found
Il ncw general i'll front of them that
they took him for u guerilla. They
did not identity him with the nation.
Overwhelmed, defeated and starving,
they at length sl!ccumbcd.

TIE SURRENDER.

General Miles had 50 carefully
placed his troops that not man Of
his command WIS killed after the
assault on the first day, but the
slvaSes, notwithstanding all their
arts, continually suffered. On tho
5th, the day whon they surrendered,
there remained about tilrce hundred
and fifty men, sqnaws and children
in the Indian pits. OF these about
one hundred and sixty were warriors.
At half-pas5 .wo in the afternoon Of
THAT day Joseph came into Con-
cral Miles camp, and shook hands
and proposed surrender, which
was instantly granted. When tho
scouts left, General Miles was re-
cc}ving personally the arms and ANS
m,lnition from each of tho Indians.
Each warrior, as he passed, said,
"How," and rendered his trophies.
One added the words, "Bad medi-
cine better next time"

INDIAN KINDNESS TO AN ENEMY.

Up to the last hours of tho fight
the Indians never ceased to belle all
the stories that have been told of the
savage. Ono Nez Porces chief ap-
preached u wounded soldier at mid.
night and said in broken English,
"Poor boy, you're too young to go
to war. I no kill YOU" Then he
put n blanket under his head and
left him. General Miles in return
ordered all the wounded Indians to
be well cared for His surgeons
arc as alert with our own brave
wounded. One soldier exclaimed
on tho evening Of tho 9th, "God
damn the arm. Let that chief have
his leg off first. Hos q boastor." ;"
Tho soldiers wound in his arm
proved to be mortal.

wounded of his command and Of

TIE SALT LAKE Iri6asgsespublishes
a list of the divorces granted by the
Probate Court of that place. and it.
foots up in the thousands. It, u.s.
estimated that quite 5000 divorces
have been granted by the twenty
Probate Courts Of Utah, and most
of them were to. parties in tho
States and somo in Canada.
Among them is Brick Pomeroy,
whose matrimonial ventures seem
to have been unfortunate. It has
been going on for several years,
and has been SO quietly conducted
by professional divorce lawyers in
the leading cities, who had the
necessary legal connections in Utah,
that the public had no knowledge
of tho Wholesale separation of ILL.,
assorted married pairs that was
fourishing among tho Mormons.
It's some satisfaction to know that
these divorces have been set aside,
by the courts of tho States WHOM.
over brought to the judicial test.

lecture on the Unconstitutional Government OF tho
United States aud the Duties OF Citizens Under 1t"
was delivered last evening by the Hon. Enoch l..
Fancher, Judge Of the Court OF Arbitration, at Dr.
Rogers church, Twenty first street and Fifth avenue
The lecture delivered under the auspices OF the
New York Association tor the Advancement Of Science
and Art. which held meeting in the first instance
and elected officers and trustees for the year.
Judge Fancheri took OCCASION to advocate strongly
respect Tor constituted authority, pointing out Tint
revolution was unJustiabe when the redress Of
wrongs could be reached by other MEANS and also
shat II should not be resortcd to unless success was
probable. II was the duty OF Americans, he said. to
be always true to the righteousness Of their consttu
ttonal government thor never to- be. gotten
heritage as a Christian nation.
Ex-Governor Hoffman, IN scconding vote of thanks
10 the lecturer expressed his approval OF the lecture
generally. However, 1t was possible, he said, that
Judge Fancher might cohcede that the right OF
kings and governors to rule, and in ruling Cypress
the people, had long ago been superseded BY the
divine right oil The people TO overthrow unjust rulers
