IdIeness, as has been truly said, is the
mother of crime; and it is the true road "a
poverty. We are all so constituted that
our minds must be employed. Persons
brought up in idIeness and luxury often
acquire bad habits which they never throw
of through life and which aid in prema-
ture death. The associations in life are
various, and all ought to be employed in
some useful calling, and to faithfully dis
charge the duties Of that calling.

LET IT DRY.-Mr. Spurgeon once went
to preach in church little outside of
London. The day was wet and muddy
and the pants Of Mr.. Sturgeon were plen-
tifully covered with dirt. A good deacon
in the vestry said. Brother Spurgeon
let me get Il brush and take off ONE rf
that mud; You can't 90 into the pulpit in
that state Don't be foolish, deacon y
said Mr.. Sturgeon, in his usual good-hum.
ored way, " don't you ste the mud is wet
and if you try to brush it off now. Won will
rub the stain into the cloth9 Let it drv
and then it will come off easy enough and
leave no mark There is an admirable
hint here for every one. When evil spoken
against, as we may be for the sake of trntb
and men throw mud at US, don't be in a
hurry abont brushing it of. The great
eagerness in this respect is apt to rub the
stain into the cloth. Let it drv and then
BY and by, if need be, it can be removed
by Il little effort.-Chiid's World.

The town of Taunton, in England,
contains. according to the last census, n
population OF Is, 466 souls. Two of these
souls are its mayor and vicar. The
mavor's name is Jacobs, and the wears
name is Mr.. Smith. Mr.. Smith has
distinguished himself from several other
gentlemen bearing the same cognomen,
by writing to Mr.. Jacobs the following
extraordinary letter:
"TAuNToN, July . 1877.
"SIR- 1t appears to be very generally
supposed that you, who have become our
mayor, are an unbaptizeG person, and
consequently not a Christian. If, as !
hope is the case, there be no truth in
this supposition. will you authorize me
publicly to say so, and thus relieve very
many persons in our town from an
exceedingly painful and distressing
impression? 1t would also be an act OF
Justice to the aldermen and councillors
who have elected yon, to free them from
the imputation under which they now
rest of having knowingly chosen for the
chief officer, and, in some sense, repre-
sentative of our town, one who does not
believe in Him whom they themselves
profess not only to believe in, but to
worship as their Lord and God. ] pro-

THE INDIANS.


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 will 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 trail. He will 60 through to Mis-
soula as speedily as his command can
move. lie will have in the neighborhood
of FIVE 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 will push down to Missonla, where
they will Join General Howard. 1t is
expected that Howard and Wheaton's
detachments will reach that point simul-
taneously. Wheaton will command
about four hundred and fifty or five hun
dred troops, and his detour through the
Spokane country will be made at the re-
quest of lndian-lnspector Watkins:
There are number OF tribes squatIed
through that region who wish to be
placed on the reservation. Inspector
Watkins has been authorized to Sc
lect suitable reservation and locate
the Indians. His principal object
in passing through that country is to
make 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 q
large force of troops through there will
have a very beneficial effect on the In
dians. Most of them are peaceably dis
posed toward the whites, while some are
inclined to be turbulant. The dctach
ment will not leave Lapwai for weeI
or more, and any struggling bands of hos
tiles which may have broken away from
Joseph or White Bird, and attempt tt
reach the Spokane country, will be inter
cepted by Wheaton and c'lt off. Thi'
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

learn that on our left General Scobelof
was very severely handled, having lost
three hundred men out of his single in
fantry battalion.
The correspondent of the Daily News
with Prince Schockosky's force, tele-
graphing from Simnitza, under date of
August lst, gives an account of the ro-
treat. He thinks the whole force lost
between six and seven thousand men in
killed and wounded A brigade of the
Thirty second division suffered most
heavily. Besides the terrible loss of men,
it sacrificed the imperial banner of one of
its regiments. The whole of the thirtieth
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 Constantinople. The road was
numbered with broken and retreating

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
Sistova. They were mostly carried in
ox-carts, the severe cases in ambulanccs,
and a large number tramped on foov. I'm
mense 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 twenty-tours
wounded as they were. Nearly all Of
these wounded however, consisted o.
men who had somehow managed to walk
out of the battle bad cases were mostly
left where they fell.

An Elopement and a Vendetta.

About two wseksago terrible tragedy
occurred on the Calcssien river,
Ii,tle above the southern line of this
narish. A young lady name d Gunter
had eloped with a young man named
Bass. Her father and brother pursued
them to the residence of a neighboring
magistrate, where a few minutes before,
they had been married. The father en-.
tered the house ut one DOR aud the son
at another, and immediately the former
discharged double-barrled gun, loaded
with buckshot, into Bass breast. The
latter, though mortally wounded, re.
turned the fire by two shots from a revol-
yer, both taking effect in the elder Gun
ter's head. Both parties fell to the floor
and young Gunter plunged bowie-knife
repeatedly into Bass body killing him
instantly. Young Gunter then took up
his father-who is likely to recover from
the pistol shot in the head, as they were
glancing shots and fed. Being pursued
by the sheriff and posse, he turned on
his pursuers with a revolver, and was
shot by the posse, diving from his WOUNDS
a day or two after. The elder Gunter Is

Grenad ne is full dress for all but

Moonlight-blue 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
merly.
Thin white dresses are to he 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 grcnadine 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 a'shoe- buttoner
with 4 long handle above the hook, 20
that it is not necessary to stoop down to

The latest style of ladies slippers and

prettiest is the box.toed slipper of the

FOREIGN,

In India famine of unprecedented
severity prevails, involving vast extent Of
country and an immense population. The
Marquis of Salisbury, the secretary of state
for India, admits "that the prospects, in.
stead of Frightening, have, during the past
few weeks, become more gloomy" lie adds
that "the physical circumstances are such
that even il we cannot prevent any wide
spread suffering from actual famine-which
very much doubt-there can be no doubt
that severe epidemics will follow and com.
plete its work." As the New York Herald
says, the canals are dry, the rivers at their
absorbed much Of the wealth of the country
in their construction, though cleverly laid
down for purely military purposes, do not
convey food to the helpless inhabitants
Wallachians and Bulgarians accom-
pany the Russian army in bands, calling
themselves avengers. General KembalI tel
egraphs, under date of July 3Stb, that the
massacre at Bayazid is confirmed, but the
atrocities at Ardahan are quite untrue.
Official papers laid before parliament
contain the following: The English consul
Mt Slivno informs Minister Layard, under
date of July l4th, that the Russians stir up
the Bulgarians and arm them, and that they
tore out the eyes of the Mussulman whom
tbey killed at Sistova and filed the sockets
with bread. Minister Layard telegraphs
Lord Derby, under date Of July oath, that
the sultan had sent him message entreating
the queen to use her influence with the car
to stop the shocking crueltles committed by
the Russian troops. Men. women and chill
dren are outraged and murdered in horri.
ble manner. The sultan can scarcely be-
I;sve the car wishes the war 10 become one
of determination and war OF brigands. The
sultan's aid.de.camp gave Minister Layard
an account Of the revolving atrocities which
| he witnessed, and which Layard says are in
a great measure confirmed by advices from
consuls and other sources. Minister Layard
also transmits July 2s) several consular re-
po,ts of outrages and massacres by the
Bulgarians, and says there is truth in them,
although they may be exaggerated.
