John 3. Cough tells touching story
of two street Arabs, who were at the

die, and you'd never have hunger any

THE INDIAN WAR.-Gen. Mcdowell
announces that Col. Miles struck the
hostiles at Umatilla, Oregon, on Tues.
day morning OF last week. After a
stubborn fight OF seven hours the entire
command, including Bcndire's and n
company OF cavalry, charged the hos.
tiles. driving them in confusion several
miles. The troops had two wounded,
none killed. The indians had five kill.
ed and large number wounded. The
Stake chief, Eagan, is reported killed.
A Boise City dispatch says: ut is not
true that the Umatillas have joined the
hostilcs. On the contrary. 100 warriors
have joined Col. Forsyth and fought the
hostiles Tuesday. bringing in % scalps
and 500 horses. Last week thirty hos.
tile Bannocks and Snakes crossed the
lower end OF the Umatilla reservation,
stealing and driving away stock. They
shot at boy on horseback, who return.

the boy escaped by hard riding"

In lovely Vermont village has curlod
up at the edges and been torn to shreds
like an old circus bill on a country fence.
A few weeks ago a young man. wall
educated. beautiful, rich-at least Inc
said he was and the son of an English
baron. arrived in the village in search
OF quiet resort where his parents and
their numerous attendants might spend
the summer. The hotel pleased him.
and he engaged large number of rooms
for his fathers family. Now there

full. accomplished and romantic. A cor.
respondent OF the Troy Press tells what
happened. The sweet girl willingly &c.
cepted the young mans invitations to
ride, and walk, to visit the hillside.
the grove. to linger by the brook-side.
as the water came fresh and cool and
ran among tile leaves and MOSES. Tie
young lady became the affianced OF the
baron's son. The voting MAN went To
the pastor OF one Of the churches and
said tue bafon would be there on a Ger
tain Sabbath. and was fond OF good
preaching. The son engaged band OF
music to escott the baron from the de.
pot to the hotel, borrowed considerable
money OF the landlord, which with
the livery and board bill made pret-
~ penny. He received telegram
stating that his father would ar
rive on a certain day. On the day be
fore the great event he drove TO neigh.
boring town to be absent for few
hours. in order to leave two gold watch
es at jewellers TO be repaired. Those
timepieces belonged to his prospective
mother.inslaw and the bride.elect, whom
he had kissed with particular fervor
when he had started on his ride. lie

rive. Who will pay the little bills

The Responsive Chord.

Rev. j. VIM. Jones; Id Al sddres. Ia.
fore the National Sunday School Con.
vention at Atlanta, Georgia, tclated the
following incident: I'm the early spr;no
OF 1868. when the Confederate and Fed.
erai armies were confronting each other
on the opposite hills OF Stafford and
Spottsyivania; two bands CHANGED one
evening; Mt the same time, to begin to
discourse sweet music on either bank of
the river. A large crowd OF the soldiers
OF Doth armies gathered to listen 70 the
music, the friendly piclxets not interior.
ing. and soon tho bands began to an /.
swer each other. First the band on
the northern bank would play Star Span.
gied Banner, Hail Columbia. or some
other national air, and at its conclusion
The "boys in blue" would cheer most
Justify. And then the band on tho
southern bank would respond With Dix.
ie' or Bonnie Blue Flag. or some other
Southern melody and the "boys in grey"
would attest their appreciation with an
"old Confederate YELL" But presently
one OF the bands struck up in tile sweet
ana piaintive notes which were waited
across the Rappaliapnock, wero caught
up at once by the other band and swell.
ed into grand anthem which touched
every heart, "Home, Sweet Home 4"
AT the conclusion Of this piece there
went up simultaneous shout from both
sides OF the river-cheer followed cheer,
and those hills. which had so recently
resounded with hostile guns, echoed and
re-echoed the glad acclaim. A chord
had been struck responsive to which the
hearts OF enemies-enemie thcn-could
beat in unison and on both sides OF the
river,

Tho report Of the exploiting expcdi;

For THE FEET. Among the first
things that strike the traveller in Japan
are the wooden sandals worn by these
36,0O0,000 OF people. They have a
separate compartment for the great toe,
and make clacking noise on the street.
Straw slippers are also worn, and a
traveller setting out on journey will
strap supply Of them on his back,
that he may put on new pair when
the old ones are worn out.
They cost but three farthings a pair.
and, leaving the foot free 10 the air, VIC
never see those deformities Of the foot
In Japan which are so frequent in this
country. They are never worn in the
house, being left outside the door,
Passing down q street you see long
rows OF them at the doors, old and new,
large and small. It is surprising TO see
how readily the Japs step out OF them
and pick them up again with their feet,
without stopping, when leaving the
house. Constant habit makes them
dexterous.
