Sitting Bull.

Maj. S. NJ. Walsh, superintendent and
inspector OF the northern Canadian
mounted police, passed through Omaha
on tho Sth ms, en- route for Canada, to
attend tho opening of the Dominion
parliament. He has come as direct as
possible from Fort Walsh, at the head
waters of Milk river, in the British pos.
sessions, where he has three hundred
mounted police under him. He says
Sitting Bull is corralled in camp, and
has not been misled by trappers who
did not know what they were talking
about. Sitting Bull is lame, and not in
fighting condition. His fghing chiefs
are Long Knife and Little Mountain,
while he simply acts as counselor.
Maj. Walsh say he would not not have
been permitted to cross the line into the
United States. Had no done SO he
would have been brought back.-Lcav.

The Marshal County News talks as
follows about Congressional matters:
Atchison will probably unite on Guth-
RE for Congressman. The Anthony in
Auence at Leavenworth will insist on
the reelection of Phillips, while the
Public Press faction will favor Guthrie.
The Doniphan delegation will present
the name of Colonel Cyrus Leland, OF
Troy. He is a good man for the posi-
ton, and it is very probable that the Mar
shall county delegation will vote for him.
J. S. Merritt of Pottawatomie county,
will be candidate, but it is not proba-
bic that his vote will be moro than
complimentary" on the part of Clay
county. There will be close contest IN
Saline county between the friends Of
Phillips and those of Hon. Tom Cavan-
augh. This is the situation on the next
Congressman, and will not be materially
changed until after the Republican Con-
gressional convention. We have assur-
ance that majority Of the Republican
Congressional committee will favor
holding the convention at MarysvilIo.

O'Clock p. NJ. His last words were
"Guard tile church l loved SO we'll and

the most remarkable men of this or any

Of the long line of Popes. Steps are be,

seems probable, viii! be one Of the 1tal-

the most intelligent classes, from states
east of us, who have energy and enter
prise to overcome all obstacles met
with in new country. The land ager Is
here are doing good business, consid-
ering tho winter, but expect to reap
quite harvest the coming season. In
the vicinity of Russell will be found as
good lands as at any particular point
along the line of the Kansas Pacific.
Russell has the advantage of two
very, very good hotels, but if We are not
mistaken she will want another before
the coming summer is past. We stopped
al the Russell House, found it crowded.
However, the genial host made room for
us, and we were we'll cared for during our
sojourn A daily stage leaves here for
Cawker and Osborne cities on the SOL
onion, and from the way emigration
is setting in toward the Soloman valley,
the line will be doubled in the Spring.
We will have to qualify our remark,
that generally speaking emigrants are
all intelligent (; this may be true with
some exceptions. Among the ar
rivals at the Russell house, We noticed
two young men just out from New Jer-
sey who seemed to be very tImid of
everyone and everything. 1t was some
time before the proprietor could induce
them 10 register. They could not see
the necessity of signing their names, and
showed so much reluctance it was quite
amusing. 1t was quite evident they had
never been away from home before,
and no doubt they thought in 80 doing
some undue advantage would be taken
Of them. We often meet with such ad.
ventures in our western towns, but o
few months residencelwill soon brighten
their ideas and give them an insight INTO
Western character and customs.

SYMPATHY FOR ANDERSON.

Secretary Sherman, Matthews, Gar.
field, Hale and White have sent dis.
patch to Gen. Anderson, condoling with
him for his conviction on the charges
against him. They consider it IA great
injustice, under color of the forms OF
law. Here is the document:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 4. 1878.
To GEN. THOMAS G. ANDERSON,
New Orleans, Louisiana:
The undersigned feel it due to you
under present circumstances 10 assure
you of our unhesitating belief that in
the matter wherein you stand charged
you are altogether guiltless of any Of
tense against the law; tina: you are false
ly accused and maliciousiy prosecuted |;
that the proceeding against you, though
in the form of law, is without the SUBJ
stance of justice; that we hereby express
our hope that tho sense Of justice and
love of peace Of the people OF Louisiana
will protectiYou and not permit the best
interests of the whole country TO be dis
turbed by a revival of sectional animosi-
ties. In any event We are confident
that the American people will redress
any injustice of which you may be the
victim.

England and the Terms of Peace.

For the first time IN the history OF
Great Britain, q treaty between Euro
pean powers, involving the recognized
rights and privileges of nations, has been
made without her knowledge, her advice,
or her consent. No incident in her his
tory, from the beginning of her enlarge
ment, so strikingly marks the radical
alteration of her influence ; none could
more clearly describe the loss of her
prestige and the decay of her moral
power. That Russia should impart to
Austria and Germany the terms of peace
with Turkey, consult with them, and, on
the advice of the former, make conces-
sions-the nature of which does not APP
pear-to the latter, is an affront to En-
gland which is simply amazing, when
viewed in the light of British predomi-
nance in the past, and of English preten-
sion in the present. More than any other
power, England has made the Eastern
question peculiarly hers; she has always
insisted on her paramount right to have a
voice in controlling the relations between
Russia and the Ottoman empire; more
than any other power, she has insisted
that her own commercial interest in the
TeIuOte Iidsb uldut utT III luUeTtSueu anu
ESSENTIAL party in all the affairs in which
either Russia or Turkey participated. In
view of these claims, so persisteptly put
forth, 80 vast in their scope, and so deter
minedly backed heretofore by real or sup
posititious military and naval strength,
that Russia should deliberately ignore
her in the settlement of the Eastern
question is the most stupendous fact in
political history since the overthrow of
Napoleon Bonaparte. 1t is not trivial
incident in international relations; it is
not mere episode, surprising in its
form and transient in its effects. 1t is
the closing of one book of European his
tory-the history of British supremacy
in European politics; and the opening
chapter of a new book-the beginning
of Russo Germanic combination which
will undertake in due time new align
ment of European states in order to adj
just them for the further ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
of two powers, the one of which is am
bilious to overshadow Europe, as the
other already dominates Asia, and has
now practically annihilated the Ottoman
nation as an organized empire in both
continents. -Chicago Times.

We have, says the Rural World, in
former years, again and again urged
farmers to pack and cure aud prepare
for market their own pork. The combi-
--ations among the city packers this win
ter to pay only very low prices for pork
makes it very important that farmers
should kill and cure their own hogs.
1t is true last year the packers paid good
prices, and lost money. But this year
they have combined to pay low prices
and make money. They intend to make
up the losses of last year and double the
money they invest this year besides.
Now, if farmers can kill and cure
hogs as we'll as men in the city can,
when the pork is sold they will double
their money, too. What one man can
do another man can do. If one man can
cure pork well in the city, another man
in the country can cure it equally well.
But he must try to qualify himself to
do it. He must talk with those who
have good success in curing meat, and
draw out all the information he can. He
must read everything ne can find on
the subject. He must make the proper
arrangements at home for doing it well.
ne uust iedIu 10 CuI huu tIlIu LID DdCOu
nicely. He must keep it neat and in
good order. He must not have it toe
salt nor too fresh. He must get good
recipe and try it, and his own experience
may induce him to modify it somewhat
in future operations. He must talk with
his neighbors, watch their practices, and
perfect himself in the business, and
cure his pork as well as any other man,
and he can sell it as we'll. When mar.
ket day comes, if the city packer makes
money, he makes it, too. If the city
packer loses money, he does not, be-
cause he has produced, not bought, his
hogs, and well-cured pork will sell at
paying prices always.
Good pork always buys work on the
farm. 1t always buys goods at the store
in town or city. It always commands
money, because people must eat. The
better the quality, the better the price
and the more easily it Is sold. 1t is the
best that pays best. Put up your own
hogs. Don't send them to the city and
nearly give them away. Deduct ship
ping expenses. commissions, etc., and
but little is left. Put up pork at home,
and you have what will command money
all the time.

Death Of a Leper king.

The Honolulu papers announce the
death of William p. Ragsdale, Governor
of the leper settlement on the island OF
Molokai. Ragsdale was a Hawaiian by
birth, and was at one time a prominent
LAWYER and the most noted orator of the
kingdom. He discovered that he was
afflicted with leprosy, and voluntarily
retired to the leper settlement. Here
he found about 800 lepers, and num-
Der of others who had exiled themselves
to be near unfortunate relatives and
friends. He introduced many reforms,
and made the saddest community in the
world one of the most cheerful.

swered the President, Except, perhaps,
the business relations of the towns and

at least, is over. look next for better

Five Tell.Tale Skeletons.

On tie Goth of October last ranchteo
in search of stray horse came upon a
group of five skeletons, firmly bound in
standing position TO so many mezquit
trees in dense chaparral near the Iona
de Borregos, within a short distance
from the high road, about one days
journey from Matamoros. The skele-
tons were tied to the trees with strips OF
raw hide, and from their peculiar posi-
ton it was inferred that they had been
partially stripped and tied up alive, and
had been left to starve. The skeletons
were all close together and in the flesh
less jaws of each a gag of rough mezquit
wood was firmly fastened. The victims,
therefore, were in full view of each other,
and must have persisted without even the
poor consolation of calling out for aid
and encouraging one another during
their agony.
1T the feet of one of the skeletons q
valuable gold watch and several papers
were found. One of the latter was a
certificate of deposit, signed by we'll
known firm in Matamoros, for 81, 900, in
the name of Mrs. Rita Chapa de Men,
doza. By means of this clew the identi.

Upon inquiry in Matamoros it was
learned that about the middle of Sep
TENDER last Mrs. Rita Chapa de Men
dozs, accompanied by Miss Rumualda
Cara Oria and Miss Damiana Cara,
and her coachman, Gregorio, and Au-
gustin Cullen, her footman, set out
from Matamoros for the interior. Moth
ing was heard from the party after their
departure, but no uneasiness had been
telt on their account, as it was thought
that they had reached their destination
in safety. 1t was known that it was
Mrs. Mendozas practice to carry hel
valuables in her bosom, and it is sup.
posed that the robbers were frightened
off before they had time to search hel
person thoroughly, and in that way
failed to get the watch and the papers.
| There is no doubt as to the identity Of
the remains, for by the hair yet remain
ing on the skulls, and part of the
clothing found, it was ascertained tha
two of the skeletons were of males, and
three of females.-La Epoca of Merico

F, Their away, other forms could be seen,
still dim and indistinct, yelled by the
mist of driving sand.
Suddenly Mustapha gave start.
"My father" he cried, in an excited
whisper, cit is Solimin l do not mis-
take What other camel ever resem-
bled Solimin ? Do you not see his lofty
hump-his arched neck !? Does not the
| bell tinkle as with the voice OF home =
Then, half raising himself, he gave,
with all the power OF his voice, the we'll
known call.
Solimin-for it was indeed he
paused as the sound caught his ears,
and snuffed the wind. Again came the
call he wheeled, plunged, threw his
rider, dashed forward, broke through the
bushes, and in second was on his knees
before his old master.
"Up, up, my father there is no time
to lose u cried Mustapha, grown stronger
in a moment, Sup, up for the robbers
are close upon us !"
In fact, wild cries and clouds of dust
showed that the foe had taken the alarm,
and were hurrying on. But already
Ahmed and Mustapha were mounted,
and Solimin, like ship at full sail, was
speeding away with them. And where
was the camel could overtake him, even
when he was loaded double? Fast and
swift his long, swinging trot bore them
onward, and, before two hours were gone,
all traces of the pursuers had disap-
peared behind them, and they were free
to turn their course toward the
brown tents where rest, and food,
and welcome had waited so long for
their coming, and where, after little
time. their hardships and sufferings
seemed to them only like bad dream.
AS for Solimin, he hardly could be
more tenderly treated or beloved than
before this adventure; but if the
freshest water, the pricklest furze-
if bowls of sour milk - if
a triple necklace of shells-if
brushing and grooming-if soft pats
from childish fingers, and sweet names
murmured III his ears by girlish voices
can make camel happy, then is Solimin
the happiest of heries. Solimin no Ion
ger, however. His name is changed
to 1.-the Blessed" in memory OF the day
when, like stately ship, he came over
the desert sea, and bore his starving
masters to home, life and liberty

Ministerial Salaries.

Some light is thrown on the important
topic of ministerial salaries in our coun-
try by the statistics of the Illinois Meth
odist Episcopal Conference. There are
in the conference 203 churches and
Al, 494 members The ministers are I'll,
whose average income was $3.50; the av-
erage deficiency (sum less than was
agreed to be paid them) was $S7. The
highest salary paid was 81, 100; the low
est, 1892. Fifteen preachers received
81 500 or more; IA, 81, 200 to 81 300;
and 81 from 81, 200 to 81, 200. This
conference is fair representative OF
those of the Central West in the Meth
odist Episcopal Church.
