James Dare and his wife were made the
recipients of an interesting visit from their
relatives and friends, on the 18th inst, the
25th anniversary of their marriage. The
party numbered between sixty and seventy,
including all the living children and grand
children. Good feeling and enjoyment ex-
listed throughout, and the feast of reason
and good things was enjoyed by all. The
fathers feelings of thankfulness took the
shape of ascr ibing his happiness in life to the
Supreme Being and to woman; with the
caution to the single, of his narrow escape
from being an old bachelor, he having re-
manned single until nineteen years of age.
One of the features of the occasion, was an
essay, which was prepared and read by
Richard Dare.

both were arres ed By 4a.s police on charge
of disorderly. Early yesterday morning
the good woman solicited and OBJ
timed the escort of Officer Soulen
until she could raise the amount
necessary to bail her husband. This was
accomplished by borrowing few dollars
from neighbors and collecting arrearages due
her for labor performed. When she had
made the deposit, and the unworthy liege
lord was brought out of the cell he had oc-
cupied all night, she said to him: s'Now,
John, you can easily raise what money is
necessary TO bail me; SO will go back to my
cell and await your speedy return. Now
don't be gone long, please" John waited
until the door closed behind his wife, and
then left to continue his spree. This morn
ing when the twain were brought
into court, Mrs. Gardner, upon her hus-
bands advice, united plea of guilty to
one entered by him, and Judge Mallory i'm
posed fine of $40 and costs each or twenty
days in The E.,nse of correction. John used
portion of the bail money that had been
deposited for him to pay his fine, pocketed
the balance, and when asked to make up the
amount necessary to keep his wife out of the
house of correction, replied with the utmost
hearlsssness. ''Oh, she can go there,:' and
walked off. Mrs. Gardner was accordingly
toted to the house of correction in the Black
Maria, along with half dozen hard-looking
male wretches. Meanwhile, the good-for-
nothing husband is reported by the police to
be finishing his spree on the balance left in
his hands. He is said to be a peddler of
medicated SOap.

Vera SAssulitch.

(Cable special June g. to New York Tribune.
Vera Sassulitch arrived at Geneva, in dis
guise, two days ago. She relates an extraor-
dinary story respecting her adventures after
her acquittal at St. Petersburg upon the
charge of shooting Trepof, ,prefect Of police.
During the riot which followed her acquittal,
she was siezed by some secret agents of po-
lice, who we're disguised as medical students,
and who persuaded her they were friends.
They hurried her through an unfrequented
passage way to carriage standing near, and
she was driven with them to house in the
suburbs where she found herself detained in
a sort of honorable confinement. ..rrr r.
At length, it was intimated to her that she
was to be transported to Siberia, but the
same informant told her that for a certain
consideration, which she consented to give,
he would arrange for her escape.
She was provided with the attire of Sis
ter of charity, and with papers showing that
she was authorized to visit Paris on q mis-
sion, she managed to cross the Russian from
tier and to find her way to Geneva. Her
arrival was made known to certain Russian
exiles now here, and caused some excitement.
AEsupper was given in honor of Vera
Sassulitch last night, at which she sat
at the right. Z. of Henri Roche
fort. She made a speech, in which
she declared she had given herself, body
and soul, to the cause of revolution, and
that, in her opinion, it's triumph was moi
distant. The Russian people, she said, were

GROSSLY EXAGGERATED.

The Indian Bureaus Claims as to the Was
on the Frontier.
Washington, (July 9,) Special to Missouri Re.
= publicaa.I
The officials at the Indian bureau say the
reports from the Indian campaign are gross
exaggerations, so far as they pretend to re-
late to the Indians engaged in hostile move
ments in the Northwest. They assert that
the people in Oregon, Idaho and Washington
territory have been worked into grand scare
over the rumors as to the numbers of Indians
on the ,war-path. Three officials say
that there are not really more than
200 Indians now turbulent, and in
support of this statement produce letters and
kilograms from the agents at the agencies
from which Indians are reported in the press
dispatches as having; become hostile, stating
that these Indians are peaceful and iobedient.
Such was the dispatch received to-day from
the agent at the reservation of the Sho
shones in southern Idaho, which Indians
have been reported as joining the hostile
Bannocks. A like dispatch has been received
in regard to the Nez Perces farther
north who were also reported as among
the hostiles. In regard to the dispatch in
the morning papers stating that l 900 war
riors are strongly fortified near Canyon City,
the Indian bureau answers that there are
not that many warriors in that section of the
country, leave alone among the tribes which
have been reported as on the war-path.
That numer of warriors represents 10000
Indians, and the last census shows in
all tribes in the infected region but about
five thousand Indians, men, women and
children, and the bureau people stoutly in
sist that hardly any of the reported tribes
are in the fight. /, They account for the e1ag-
gerated reports by the fact that Indians who
are moving about peacefully are seen at sew
'eral points and consequently counted sever
al times. There is certainly big discrep-
ancy between the Indian bureau and the war
department reports and the dispatches
sent East by the Territorial and State off,
cials. When asked what their explanation
would be in the event q battle should be
fought; between the troops and any large
body Of Indians, the bureau officials merely
answer that there will be no such battle, but
that the Sensational dispatches from the
Northwest will gradually ,subside and tho In
dian war win be then over. They laugh al
the dispatches Of this morning announcing q
fight between Indians and company ofvol-
unteers. in which forty Of the volunteers
were killed. t.1

A Hasty Conclusion.

It was announced that Baron Theodore
Won Jasmund, editor of the Detroit Folks
blatt. was missing from Detroit. Soon after
the body of man about so was found on
the track of the Great Western railway near
Komaka, Canada. In the supposed suicides
hat was part of a letter in lady's hand
writing. in which the words 'Wabash avenue
927, Chicago In the pockets were found a
lady's gold watch, wedding ring marked
with initials and the date, ''May 20, 1873"
The dead man was identified as Theodore
Won Jasmund of Detroit, and the residents
of the Wabash avenue house furnished a
history. Jasmund had become infatuated
with dashing young widow of Detroit,
Mrs. Overton. He told her his family
standing in Prussia, and history,
proposed to marry her, and she ac-
cepted. His brother is Sec
retary of the German emperor's cabinet; the
family estate is Jasmund, in southern Prus-
sia, and he was born to the title of baron.
He had been sixteen years in this country
and wanted to marry the pretty widow and
return home to his family and estates. he
was to marry her as soon as he received
some expected money. But the money did
not come as expected, and the widow fear
ing she had been deceived by the "nobleman
dodge" took alarm and went to Chicago,
27 Wabash avenue, to consult with some
friends there. She stayed with her friends
three weeks, and corresponded with the
baron during that time. At length she con-
cluded not to marry him-wrote him let
ter to that effect-left his presents to her,
watch, ring, &C., with the family, informed
him of the fact, and started off for Grand
Rapids, Michigan. Immediately after she
had gone two packages came addressed to
her, one containing $500 and the other
81 600. They were from the baron. A lady
of the house then wrote to the baron inform
ing him of the arrival of the packages and
also package of his letters, the watch and
rings, &C., which Mrs. Overton had left there
for him. The baron went in person and re-
claimed his property. He was very much
detected and said that he had nothing to live
for now. In . day or two he left for De-
troit; left his va]ise in his room, bade his
roommate goodbye and disappeared. It
seems he went over into Canada to die. He
is supposed to have thrown himself from q
train on the track. IF the widow had waited
just.a little longer she might have been .
baroness. E & III Ia gtA& ~

and doing well. During an unnecessary ex-
citement there may be 600 hostiles in the field.
There seems to be determination On the part
of many whites to have war here, cause or no
cause. A dispatch received at the Indian Office
to-day from Agent Rhinehart reports,
under date of Canyon City, Oregon. July
Z: all the Indians belonging to Malheur
agency are with the hostiles, except forty of
Nevada. Agent Bag gley of the Seletez agency,
Oregon, in reply to a telegraphic inquiry of the
Sd inst reports to the Indian office, under
date of July 9, that there are $50 of
his Indians off their reservations, working fo r
white settlers, but you remain. He adds; Il
hold the Nastuella Indians here to ask that l
may purchase supplies for the in
digent and those who are at work to
the amount of $500 l can keep the Indians
peaceably employed. There are no Salitz In
dians hostile. The deslred authority to pur-
chase the supplies was communicated by tele-
graph.to-aay.

bled do resolve:
F1Rsr-That the United States is one nation
not 4 league of independent vereignties,
under the combined working of the National
and State governments the equal rights OF
every citizen should be secured, and protect
ed at home and abroad, and any failure on the
part of of the General or State Governments
to secure such protection to all its citizens, is
a criminal neglect of solemn obligations.
SECoNp-The Republican party which has
preserved the government stands before the
world as the representative and Of the great

equality of civil rights, without regard to
party affiliations, nationality, color or pre-

the Democratic party to cripple and render
inefficient the army and the navy Of the u
nited Ststes
Fifth-That the experience Of the country
has demonstrated the soundness of the finan-
cial policy of the Republican party, and the
wisdom and sagacity OF the resum ption act;
and that no brighter page adorns the annals
of any party than that which records the
financial triumphs of the Republican party
during the last sixteen years OF our cOuntry's
history.

he could make the trip without freezing to
death. But he managed to make it, loaded
down with clothes and piled over with robes.
He camo near dying with cold in DIR. Webb s
office, and the doctor built great fire and
partially thawed him ont. But the new
physician could make nothing Of the case
and sent the patient home. 1t was on the
trip homeward that James Knox froze to
death under the hot son of the south. His
cold became unbearable, and he jumped out
of the wagon and ran. The driver caught
him, brought him back, and drove on rapid
ly. Presently the patient became quiet and
sank in a stupor, and James Knox actually
froze to death and lay corpse in the wagon,
bed under the blazing sun of Mississippi
with the temperature at 80. It is an
anomalous case for the books.
