LAST Friday about forty Indians pass
ed through this village and csainped on
the beach short distance below here.
The Indians belong to tribe that used
to inilabit this vicinity quarter of q
century ago, and there were few
among them, whose heads were gray,
who recognize several of the old citizens
of the place and greeted them with a
broad grin and a hearty "bouzhou."
After twenty five years of wandering
through the forests that lie between
here and the mountains of the West
these wild men of tie woods" have
come back to visit once more their an
cient haunts and hunting grounds

HE members of the Howgate Arctic
Expedition. before they sailed, received
a contribution of $500 from Americus
Symmes, who is the advocate of the
theory that a navigable cavity extends
through the earth from pole to pole.
He says that all the results of previous
expeditions justify this belief, AMI he is
confident that Howgate will be able to
enter the cavity. In o letter to the
Louisville CoWier-Jou1mal, Captain
Symmes says:
'sDid not Captain Waddell go upon
a southern exploring expedition a few
years ago, and find an open Polar sea
as in the North, and when entering it
find his compass had reversed its posi-
ton, and was pointing north when he
Thought he was going southward He
became alarmed and turned back, when,
if he had followed on, as his compass
directed, he would have come out ut
the North Pole, and would have proved
the theory true which says the earth is
hollow; and, no doubt, he would have
found inhabitants within

Mrs. CHISHOLM, the widow of Judge
Chisholm, who was SO foully murdered
by the Democratic White League of
Mississippi some time ago, has written
to friend in Washington stating that
the Probate Court of Kemper county
has peremptorily refused to settle up
her dead husbands estate For this
refusal she says that no reason WAS as
signed. If the prosecuting attorney of
the county together with the judges of
the circuit and probate courts would
only now unite and assassinate Mrs.
Chisholm and her remaining children,
and divide her property between them
selves it would be entirely in keeping
with the history of this awful tragedy
thus far. Mississippi will give large
Democratic majority this fall.

THE st. Louis Globe Democrat was
inspired by the recent convention in
Maine to institutethis sort of a COMPARE
son: "Maine, which gives 10000 Re-
publican majority, and where the prin-
cipal crops are ice and granite, puts mp
5000, 900 cans of corn, much of which
is shipped to Missouri, which gives 5O,-
coo Democratic majority, and which
has a sol. SO fertile that if you stick q
shoe peg III the ground you can raise a
crop of bookstores the next season. A
fertile soil is not the only thing neces-
sary to constitute q State. -

A DISPATCH from Omaha says that
since the river changed its course u
heavy current has been setting IN
towards the Nebraska shore, which it is
thought is endangering the smelling
works and the Union Pacific shops
The Union Pacific Go. are now making
strong efforts to turn this current toward
the Iowa shore by repropping. For the
purpose of hauling stone to the spot,
temporary track was laid, and Monday
morning about O'Clock, about 200 feet
of this track was washed into the river.
A force is kept at work night and day to
avert the threatened danger.

TEMPERANCE.

Our good temperance people are great
~ exercised over the presentation of
banquet by Mrs. Hayes to the German
Schuetzenfest. We are inclined to think
them in error in working themselves into
such heats, for the Schuetzenfest is not
purely lager beer gathering, but is a
national observance, and as such is as
our 4th of July. Though we do much
in it's celebration that is so unworthy
and reprehensible, yet no one on that
occasion would have it ignored. Mrs.
Hayes aud Mr.. Schurz honored the
Sehuetzenfest with their presence net
because lis Germans loved lager but be-
cause they were met together in friendly
contests TO make themselves better abIe
to perform the fighting duties of Amer
lean citizenship should call be made
again for soldiers, and to keep fresh and
warm the memories of their 'Fatlerland. y
The President recognized this beautiful
custom of one of the best portions of
our American citizens, and the preseuta-
ton of Mrs. Hayes was merely the same.
Both might well deplore the lager as
they would whiskey or wine ut their own
table. nd yet consistently attend the
first Our police books show less crime
among our Germans than any other
nationality. and so long rs his beer en-
ables him 10 avoid our Irish and Amer
icaU customs of guzzling bad whiskev
with all its terrible coneomitants, the
President may consistently recognize the
Schuetzenfest as National commemora-

THREE out of four of the German
daily newspapers in Cincinnati support

THE Indian famine is reported as ex-
tending its ravaSes. No relief can be had
until December, or until the crops are
gathered.
New wheat is being received in Mil
waukee, but in limited quantities. The
samples were magnificent, and graded
No weighed 81 pounds to the bushel.
THE Cincinnati Gazette says there is
no reason for believing that Secretary
Sherman's estimate of 10000 Republi-
can majority this fall in Ohio is too high.
Ex-UNIrED STATES Treasurer Wyman
has just settled his accounts, involving
the handling of $74O,0OO,0 900, and they
have been found correct within So of
that vast amount.
LORD DUFFERIN believes no English
man can be said to have completed his
education until he has examined the in

The entire Republican press of Ohio
is enthuastic in support of Judge West

is at loss to find anything to say to
his detriment. This is suspicious.

ed trip through the South during the

The Maine Republican State Conven
ton was held last Thursday, and Gov.

was carried, and thus the matter ended.
On Tuesday afternoon, Henry Craw
ford, youth 90 years of age, of Racine,
and Miss Minnie Jilson, one of Eacines
prettiest girls, who is about II years
old, rode out of town in buggy; and,
as they have not returned, it is believed
they drove to Kenosha, where they were
married, and then left by train for
points south. The affair is creating
quite sensation.
SOMEBODY has started the story that
the public lands available for cultivation
are already disposed of. This is absurd
There are great fertile districts in the
West that have not been surveyed or
explored even. 1t is estimated that not
more than one-fourth of the sur
veyed public lands have been disposed
of, and the unsurveyed public lands in
the different States and Territories
amount to l, 132, 665, 244 acres
DURING the year just closed, the United
States sold 1O5,OOO, 600 yards of cotton
goods abroad, ten times more than was
exported the year before. The sale is
being rapidly extended to every quarter
of the globe where humanity wears any
thing better than unadorned loneliness
and at present the prediction of Mr..
Wheelwright, that the trade will be
quadrupled in two years, stands first
class chance of realization.
