Mr.. Radtord, in the north Of Devon
some years ago, was fond Of having
convival meetings in his parsonage, which
often ended uproariously. Bishop Phil
potts sent for him, and said, 'Mr. Rad
ford, hear, but / can hardly believe it,
that men fight in your house" "Lor,
my DEAR" answered Parson Radford, in
broad Devonshire, 'doant y believe 1T.
When they begin fighting, ! take and turn
them out into the churchyard." )" The
Bishop came one day to visit him with
out notice. Parson Radford, in scarlet,
was lust about to mount his horse and
gallop off to the meet, when he heard
the Bishop was in the village. He had
barely time to send away his hunter, run
upstairs and Jump, red coat and boots,
into bed, when the Bishops carriage drew
up at the door. "Tell his lordship I'm
i'll, will yeI' was his injunction to his
housekeeper. as Mr.. Radford in =
asked the Bishop. "He's i'll IN bed
said the housekeeper. Dear met I'm
50 sorryl Pray ask him if may come
up and sit with him." The housekeepe'
ran upstairs in sore dismay, and entered
the parsons room. The parson steal
thily raised his head, above the bed
clothes, but was reassured when he saw
his room was invaded by his housekeep
er, and not BY the Bishop. please
your honor, his ludship wants to come

FORT BENTON

The Indians were only a few hundred
yards behind and gaining upon them every
moment, and to make matters worse the
pilgrim saddle girt broke, and not daring
to rein up, he was obliged to ride with the
uncomfortable feeling. that he was likely
at any moment to be left on the roau at
the mercy of his pursuers.
But in spite Of the great exertions made
by the Indians to overtake or shoot them
down, the party reached the ravine without
a scratch, and were still far enough ahead
to Justify them in continuing on to the
point, which they also reached ahead of
their pursuers. They found the cabin de-
serted, but the doorway was guarded by
two large cottonwood trees, which with the
addition Of their saddles formed a very
strong barricade.
When the Sioux dashed up and found
the strong position of the foe, they charg-
ed upon the doorway and poured a volley
of bullets and arrows directly at the bar
ricade. A powder horn belonging
to Jerry Potts. was pierced though and
through by all arrow, but none Of the brave
little party were hurt, and they returned the
fire with such deadly effect that the Indians
were compelled to fall back and continue
the fight only at long range.
It would perhaps weary the reader were
l to enter into all the details Of the battle
between these brave men and their mum
erous foes. The fight continued at inter
walls all day with great loss to
the Indians, while Sleeping Thunder
and his companions sustained no in
jury other than the loss Of horse. The
Indians never attempted to charge the
barrcade after the first repulse, and bat one
effort was made to enter the cabin, and
that resulted in the death of the unlucky
redskin who attempted it. At length when
night came, Sleeping Thunder, by an
ingenious stratagem, captured one Of the
Indians horses, and under cover of the
:, darkness the three men succeeded in es
Gaping from the cabin, and before morn
ing were beyond the reach Of the foe.
Fifteen years have passed away since
the incidents above related occurred, anc
the long haired hero is no longer called
Sleeping Thunder. He is now GEORGE
, SrEELL, the prosperous merchant Q

We can see some pleasure, if no reason,
in the convening Of q baby show, but We
confess we could never see the slightest
cause, reasonable or otherwise, for fat
mems convention, unless it be the fact that
misery loves company. For fifty or hun
dred men, whose several weights range
from two hundred to three hundred pounds,
to hold convention simply because Of SO
much surplus avoirdupois, is absurd to say
the least. It becomes doubly 50 when we
reflect that obesity IS a disease. What
would we think Of as many persons
emaciated by consumption holding q con.
vention to compare their relative weights
There IS but one ground upon which we
would advocate another fat mems eonven-
ton, and that is that they will meet to
discuss the merits Of Allan's Anti-Fat, the
only known remedy for obesity. lt i safe

While my heart is filed with pain.

For one word we meet as strangers,
To be forgotten when I'm dead.

The Third District Case.

The Barton Monitor prints the article
from the last CaLedOnian upon the Third
District, carefully eliminating the nub
of the same, which was the suggestion
that Gen. GrOut now withdraw from the
canvass and give chance for the Re
publicans of the District to elect Judge
Powers. The other two prominent Grout
papers in that District-the Free Press
and Newport Express both as silent
as death upon the future course of the
Grout party. All this is ominOus. 1t
is well to think the matter over care
fully, but time is passing, and the 'Tdes
of November" are in the near future.
We still think Judge Powers is the only
man in the District to beat Barlow !;
and if the Grout party cling to their
honOrabiy nominated candidate, or at
tempt to join with the Democrats and
elect either Mr.. Phelps of Burlington,
or Mr.. Edwards of Newport, they run
great risk of seeing Mr.. Barlow seated
in Congress.

YELLOW FEVER.

The yellow fever has spread rapidly
in the Mississippi valley the past week.
1t has become impossible to give the
number of deaths accurately, because
the overworked physicians in many
cases have been unable to report to the
boards of health and relief committees
the number of cases that have come
under their charge. There has been
some confusion about the figures at New
Orleans, but the most trustworthy
statement makes the number of deaths
to date $40, while Memphis, Tenn,
has had 1,137, Vicksburg, Miss, be-
tween $50 and 300; Grenada, Miss,
200; Port Gibson, La, 70; Greenville,
Miss, ~ and Plaquemine, La, q. This
would make the whole number over
$500, and there have undoubtedly been
over 200 deaths at other points, The
fever has attacked several of the smaller
towns the past week with great vio-
lence, while at Memphis it is yielding
more readily to treatment, the force of
nurses having been improved. The
people of the country, North and South,
continue to respond with remarkable
generosity to the appeals for help, and
the past week has perhaps added $780,
900 to the $1,000 that had been pre-
uiously given. New York city has Civ
en- more than $131 900. Boston about
$32, 900, and the other large cities have
given correspondingly, while the num-
Der of offerings from the smaller towns
is very great.

The Maine Election.

The Greenback element swallowed
the Democratic party in Maine on Mon
day, and there was no election of Gov
ernOr by the people. Although the
Senate is strong Republican, up to
present writing the indications are that
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT combination
has one majority in the lower house.
If this holds, the next Governor OF
Maine will be either IA Greenbacker OIL
Democrat, as we understand the Senate,
although Republican, will be obliged to
elect one of the two candidates sent it
by the lower house.
1t now looks as though the Republi-
cans had elected four of the five Con-
gressmen. Eugene Hale is defeated in
the fifth district by Murch, Green
hacker.
The defeat of the popular and brave
Gen. Conner for GovernoI-if he is de-
feated--will be cause of very general
regret. He has been Governor for the
past two or three terms, and his failure
of an election would seem to indicate
that as foolish and dangerous as this
greenback craze is, it is bound to sweep
the country.

Yellow Fever. What It Is.

Medical authorities say that yellow
fever originated in the West Indies.
Its name is derived from the fact that
the disease changes the skin to a vel
lOwish color. 1t is one of the most
virulent pOisOns known. The general
belief is now that the disease is caused
by living miasm or germ, which under
favorable conditions is rapidly spread
and multiplied. 1t is not contagious
like measles, and cannot be communi-
Gated by the breath or emanations from
the body. The "germs," or seeds of
the disease are imported, and may lie
dormant for months or even years, in
walls, furniture or clothing, or in the
ground /; and then, under certain con-
ditions, may generate the most fatal
poison. The conditions most favorable
for this disease are high temperature,
moist atmosphere, filth, decaying vege-
table or animal matter, want of drain
age. The disease never prevails upon
high ground or in cold climate, and
always declines on the approach of
frost. Unlike the cholera, it is no more
likely to attack the dissipated than
other classes. Formerly it was believed
that the colored race and children were
nearly exempt from it, but this year it
is no respecter of color or age. People
never have this fever but once, even if
they recover, which is the case general
ly with One-half or more of those who
have it. Only those who have had the
fever should care for fever patients.
Persons fatigued and exhausted become
easy victims, as well as affrighted ones.
Death comes so sudden-frequently in
twenty-fOur hOurs-that the fears of
the people cannot be controlled. Pre-
ventiOn of the disease is cleanliness,
thorough drainage, and the destruction
of the poisonous germ though how
that can be done is not fully stated.
