"a rainbow in the morning
Is the shepherds warning;
But a rainbow at night
Is the Shepherds delight.n

Meterologists tell us that there is
some truth in this popular notion, and
the reasons they give are these A
rainbow in the morning is seen in the
west when the east is clear. 1t is indi-
cative of the advance of the rain-cloud
toward the observer, and, moreover,
from the time at which it happens
morning-it points to the increasing
moisture of the atmosphere. Wet and
stormy weather is the natural sequence
of such coniuncture of circumstances.
On the other hand, when rainbow is
seen in the evening, we have reversal
of these circumstances, for the bow ap-
pears in the east when the west is clear;
the rain-clouds are receding from the
observer, and the atmosphere is becom-
ing dryer. Fine weather necessarily
follows. ga i-7p a t3Ii

A Rainbow.

The time of day at which rainbow
appears is generally regarded by farm
ers, shepherds, and others accustomed
to outdoor work as weather-sign thus,
if it appears in the morning it lis looked
upon as the precursor of wet and stormy
weather, but if it appears in the evening,
then it is thought to precede dry and
fine weather; hence the following dog

The Vanceburg (Ky.( Courier says
there is q rich old bachelor, by the
name of Shaw, who lives on a fve-hun-
dred-acre farm in Lewis county, dresses
like monk of the thirteenth century,
and devotes his whole time, talent and
fortune to flowers and tropical fruits.
His farm is surrounded by high fence,
without gate or bars for ingress or
egress. His house is completed covered
with rare vines; he has fig trees twenty
years old and flowers by the acre. He
never derives a cent from his outlay
of money and labor, but delights in
multiplying curious growths and COM
bining nature and art in wonderful
forms. He calls his large colony of bees
his children, and the birds that feed from
his table his little angels. The birds
follow him through the walks and take
the berries from his hand"
Montana Charlie" O scout, who
lived in the Sioux country for about
twelve years, says there are two white
men in Sitting Bulls camp. One is
Major Pease, who was dismissed in dis
grace from 1.-THE Fourth Infantry of
United States troops in 1861, while sta
toned somewhere in Kansas, since which
time he has been living and acting with
the Indians. He has the full confidence
of the Indians, stands high in the esti-
nation of the great Sioux warrior, and
is to all intents and purposes an Indian
q renegade from and an enemy of his
race. The other man is named John
OBrien, and he was taken prisoner at
the time of the Custer massacre, and is
held in captivity. He has been adopted
into the tribe, and has squaw wife, but
is under the strictest surveillance to
prevent escape. The scout has seen
and talked with both of these men, and
knows that they are with these Indians
under these circumstances. O'Brien is
supposed to be the only survivor of the
Custer massacre. He was wounded
twice, and while lying in the bushes was
saved by squaw whom he knew some
time previous at Fort Abercrombie.

The New York Tribune wakes iocose
about the expectation of American cof-
fins. 1t says: Americans are export
ing coffins to London and putting them
in the market at prices little more than
those charged by her maiesty's native
undertakers. The Yankees began with
sending washing machines, apple-pear-
ers and egg. beaters; then they shipped
windows -sashes, doors, panels and VAIN
scots; within a year they have been ex-
porting ready-made furniture of all
kinds, from the commonest kitchen
chair to the most elegant drawing room
table, and now they are following the h.
less Briton even to his grave, and pack
ing him underground in brand-new
American coffins with patented handles
and reversible lids, vastly superior to
the English-made article,and with prices
to suit the times.

A man at Albany, VT, who had been
a sufferer of dyspepsia for twenty years,
died recently, and some peculiar cir
cumstances in his case led to post
morten1 examination. This revealed in
the lower end of the stomach thirteen
well preserved cherry stones, SO imbed-
ed in the lining of the stomach as not to
be discOvt rable to the eye, and causing
thickening of the stomach case some
three-fourths of an inch. These stones
had worn hole through the stomach,
and death was caused by dropsy, or
drowning. 1t was the opinion of the
physicians that these stones had been,
there for many years.

The following story is told of Mr..

MONDAY MORNING. JULY 1.
Our StimuIants,

some curious statistics as to the consump-
ton OF narcotics and stimulants by the world
IN general are given in late report of Mr.. Jez
hiiiebrew, the commissioner of agriculture in
tennessee. Paraguay tea, it is computed. is
used BY 100000 human beings, coca by 10 ,O00.-
ooo, chicory by 100000, cocoa by 100000,
and coffee by 100,00O.00O. The consumers of
betel are set down at 100, 600 O0O those of hash
ish at 100000. 900, and those of opium in one
or another form at 40O,0O0,O0O. These figures
are, however, eclipsed by the proportions of the
demand for Chinese tea, which is said to be
used by half billion; while the consumers of
tobacco are not only still more widely distribu-
ted, but present the astonishing aggregate of
900. According to q careful estimate
prepared for this report, tobacco is more gen.
orally used than any other single article of
commerce consumed by man. The United
States in 1860 produced more than 100000, 900
pounds of tobacco, but ten years afterwards
the yield of the plantations had dwindled to
about 26O,OOO.0OO. The report does not state
the exact quantity grown in any subsequent
year; but it seems that the exports alone in
1875 reached about 1000, 0C0 pounds, valued
ct more than $25,000000 According to the
United States Bureau of Statistics, leaf to-
bacco valued at nearly $29, 000, 900 was sent ont
ut the country in the year ending, June 80,
1877. These figures would make tobacco rank
sixth in the list of exported staples from the
United States, cotton, breadstaffs, petroleum
and the precious metals alone exceeding it in
Importance. In 1875 the best customer of the
United States for tobacco was Germany, which
Notwithstanding the large quantity grown in
Prussia, took 100000 pounds, while Great
britain, which produces none, took only 81
200 600 pounds.

ST. LOUIS POLICE.



ST.. LOUIS, June 3O.-A state chronic dietur-
bance which has prevailed in East st. Louis for
months past, eliminated this afternoon in
ngnt between part of the metropolitan police
force and the city marshals organized by Mayor
Bowman last January. The metropolitans
under Chief Rensow took forcible possession of
one of the city engine houses and prison cells
which have been used as police headquarters,
and although Mayor Bowman had repeatedly
demanded it to be vacated by them and return
ed to the city, bis demands have been refused
About noon today City Marshal Walsh learned
there were but three of the metropolitan force
in the engine house. Walsh mustered his
deputies at his own headquarters little over a
block away and made dash for it. He was
quickly seen however, and the officers of the
engine house, Geo. Wallace and Gleyre and
Turnkey Chapman barred the door, fastened
up stairs and the two first named officers ap-
peared at the window armed with SPRING
field rifles.
Walsh and his men rushed on armed with
clubs and revOlvers and found Officer Stack
near the door of the engine house, whom they
assaulted with clubs, knocked him down and
three pistol shots are said to be fred at him,
one of which wounded him in the head. Wal
lace and Glere then called upon the crowd to
dispense, when more shots were fired by Mar
shall. Wallace and Geyre then shot into
me crowd and Deputy Marshals Ne
Doyle was wounded. The marshals then re-
tired, taking with them their dead. Mayor
Bowman in the meantime appeared on the
ground and he says narrowly escaped, as one
OF the men in the epgin house, he claims, took
deliberate aim at him and fired, but by quick
jump sideways he avoided being hit, the ball
entering the ground few feet from where he
stood.
While the fight was progressing the alarm
bell on the engine house was rung and the
Metropolitans fastened to headquarters from
all directions, but the marshals had retired and
nothing further was done. The circumstances
which lead to the unfortunate affair are nu-
merous and cover much time and many events
dating as far back as 1867, when the Metropol-
tan law was passed by the legislature. This
law has been pronounced unconstitutional sev-
eral times by the Supreme Court. Further
trouble was apprehended tonight, but to the
present writing all is quiet on the other side of
the river, and the probabilities are that no
further violence will occur.

THE INDIANS.

The SavaRes Going Toward the CoIu mbia
River-The Klamaths Not On the War
Path.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 30.-A Silver CITY
despatch says the latest from the front in
dictates the probability that the hostiles will
leave Rocky Canyon and go in the direction
OF Columbia river through Yokeman Valley
IN Washington Territory and passing along to
Spokane county 10 get to Koolenay. They
will meet with little or no opposition on this
route, there being no troops and few volunteers
to meet except of the latter, such as might
possibly be sent out from Walla Walla. If
they take the route here indicated they will
pass through fine stock country and commit
heavy depredations with the probability of
numbering many settlers.
YREKA, CAL. June 29.-John Hendricks
arrived here this afternoon direct from
klamath agency, having left there Thursday
morning. he says report that the Klamaths
are on the war path is incorrect They have
been off the reservation hunting and digging
roots. The agent sent out runners to order
them to return to the reservation and they were
all coming in. The old Ochos band of Snakes
who left the reservation three years ago on the
war path and are supposed to De the Indians
who killed the men in Warner Valley. Capt.
Adams was intending to start this morning
with "a men from Fort klamath on scout
through Sumner Lake, Silver Lake, Chilean
and Chewanson valleys to look after the
interest of the settlers and stock men. Hen
bricks gives his opinion however from CON
versation with the Indians that if hostiles now
In Warner valley are victorious and drive the
settlers from those valleys The Klamaths
will undoubtedly join them. There is much
excitement in Lake View, Sprsgne river and
Largells valley, and settlers are all endeavoring
to get arms All the families in Sprague river
and Lake View. have come into Linkville and
vicinity.

located within few miles of the present, It
will be about 235 miles from Fort Laramie and
20 miles from Deadwood.
Fourteen Arapahoe scouts were placed on
