The Socialists.

It has been stated in public prints that
members of the socialistic party have been
drilling in St. Louis for some time past. An
interview with Mr.. Curtin, city editor OF the
ITelks Stemna, organ Of the German Socialists,
and who was very active IN the riots last July
in that city, and was arrested and imprisoned
therefor, verified the statements. He said
some 26O members of tho socialistic Working
mems Protective Association, have been drill
ing once week in Washington hall, and they
expect to have another hall soon. Their arms
are Springfield rifles They have but about
two hundred yet, but expect more shortly.
They arc purchased mainly by subscriptions
but they have received some contributions
from the east. When asked what these arms
proposed to do, he said they would protect
the meetings of the socialistic workingmen
from police power to arrest without warrant
of law of men who have constitutional right
to assemble and discuss their grievances.

The Girl Everybody Likes.

She is not. beautifuEOh no! nobody
thinks Of calling her that. Not one of a
dozen can tell whether her eyes are black
or blue. If you should ask them to de-
scribe her, they could only say. "she is
just right" and there it would end. r
She is merry-hearted, fun-leving, be-
witching maiden, without spark of en-
Wy or malice in her whole composition.
She enjoys herself and wants everybody
else to do the same. She has always a
kid word and pleasant smile. for the
oldest man or woman, in fact, I can think
of nothing she resembles more than a
great sum- beam which brightens every
thing it comes in contact with!
Ali pay her marked attention, from
rich Mr.. Watts, who lives in the mansion
on the hill, to negro Sam, the sweep. All
look after her with an admiring eye and
say to themselves. ''She is Just the right
sort Of girl..' f. = - :
The young men Of the town vie with
one another as to who shall show her the
most attention, but she never encourages
them beyond being simply kind and :jol.
ly; SO no one can call her a firt; no, in.
deed, the young men would deny such
an assertion as quickly as she.
Girls,-wonderful to relate--like her
too for she never delights in hurting
their feelings Or saying spitefulr things
behind their backs. She is ALWAYS viii:
ling to join in their little plans and assist
them in any way. They 60 to her with
their love affairs and she manages adroit
ly to see George OF Charlie, and drop 6
good word for Elite or Minnie, until thcil
little difficulties are all patched up and
everything goes on smoothly again.

Gen. Sherman received, May list, re-
port from Gen. Miles, dated headquarters of
the district of the Yellowstone, fort Keog:2 I'M.
T., informing him that Sitting Bull and IA
men, all head soldiers and chiefs, had sent
a half-breed of Gen. Miles inquiring what
kind Of peace the United States would make
with them, and saying the Great Father was,
of course, too rich to expect the Indians to
give up their poor cattle, ponies and their old
guns. Gen. Miles in reply informed Sitting
Bull thatif he desired to stop hostilities peace
would be made which would end all trouble
between the whites and Indians. When the
Indians give up their ponies and guns they
will receive cattle and other property OF
great value in place. When peace is made
the government will provide for them as it
does for all friendly Indians.

was about changing Of, and the stones are at
such times permitted TO run dry, the millers
raising the stones as soon as the wheat in the
hoppers is exhausted. 1t is presumed that
some one Of the millsrs, through carelessness,
neglected to raise the stones in his CHARGE that
friction was generated, which communicated to
the dust box, the draft from which
is downward. A similar fire occurred
in the dust box on the other side
of the mill some two months ago. The draft
from that box is up, and not down, as in the
case of the box on the east side, and an ex-
plosion Of the box itself would not have been
sufficient to create the disaster which followed.
But it is the theory Of Mr.. Christian that the
gas was drawn downward; that from the lower
floors it passed through the numerous elevator
ways and openings insall parts of the mill,
filled the great structure, was perhaps rarifed
by the heat Of the fire, and which was finally
ignited, the explosion following. It it his be-
lief that the mill was shut down as bad been
provided for in the rules which prevailed when
the explosion occurred. The night being cold
the windows were closed and the gas was unable
to escape Through the natural openings.

NEWS OFTHE WEEK.


The opening Of the international exhi-
bition took p ace with great pomp and sue
cess. At 9 o'clock in the morning it was rain
ing, and it was feared the ceremony would DC
greatly interfered with, but at 9:4b the rain
ceased, and prospects that the day would be
fine began to appear. AT 1880 the clouds had
broken, and the sun was shining brilliantly,
and the temperature was rather warm. The
ceremony of opening the exhibition began at
2:3O in the afternoon, at which time IL was
showcring, but at o'clock the sun was shin
ing brightly again. The crowd was immense
and enthusiastic, in spite of the alterations
of rain Throughout the proceedings cries
were heard everywhere OF "Vive .republi-
y>c," "Vive Ia France" Marshal MacM.aon
arrived in the state carriage escorted by his
military household A procession was formed
which marched from the grand arcade to the
platform overlooking the fountain, and COM
manding q view Of nearly all the buildings
and grounds Here, Tresserne de Bort, min
lister of commerce, welcomed the Marshal in
short speech. The Marshall then declared
to exhibition opened. One hundred and one
guns from the Invalides Montvalrien and
island in the Seine followed the announce
ment. At the same time two military bands
struck up, all the fountains played and the
soldiers stationed by the haSstatfs ho;sted the
flags Of the nations on the roof OF
,ae two palaces and anneXes.
Owe hundred thousand strangers are in the
vi,y. Most of these are English and Ameri-
cans. Words fail to give an adequate picture
of the scene at the time. Everybody who
could get within the Exposition grounds was
there. The American section, though um-
finished, compares favorably with others:
The department Of manufactures shows the
best progress. The American art department.
is the best ever thown abroad by America.

AnticiDated Indian Troubles.

Approximations in several quarters Of
serious trobles with the Indians this summer
are not thought to be groundless. The war
department is in receipt of a communication
from parties whose opinions are entitled to
earnest attention, to the effect that warlike
movements arc clearly discernible on the part
of several tribes. 4 long letter to this effect
was received by Secretary McCrary within the
past week, and referred by the secretary to
the general of the army. =.
