Passage 81 . sing 0lar Body Over the
Face Of Jupiter.
TpiffShr Z.

A very curious and interesting phenome
non was observed on the night of the 1ltl
INST, by James X. Gemmell and Joseph
| Wampler, OF Mckeesport, in the system ol
the planet Jupiter. 1t was first seen by
| Mr.. Gemmeli at about 10 CLOCK, with .
two and half acbromatic glass, and ap.
pesred like notch or indention on tn.
eastern edge Of the planet He left his tele.
scope and hurried to Mr. Wampler's Office;
q short distance, and the iive-inch achro-
matte glass was Immediately in readiness.
Ii was then five minutes past ten O'Clock,
and on the eastern margin Of the disc of
Jupiter was seen 4 very dark, round spot,
just above the northern belt. 1t soon NOV
ed rapidly westward, Just touching the
and passed off the face Of the planet at LA
o'clock a. IN. Of the 18th. Its appearance
while passing across the disc of Jupiter was
that Of a perfect sphere or globe much lar
ger than any OF Jupiter's satellites. 1t ap-
peared to stand out in space between the
planet and the observer, was well and
shapely defined, and most Intensely black
1t r, ilected no light aud was not seen either
before or after its passage across the planet.
Now what was ii? IL was not spot on the
globe Of Jupiter, for it passed over its disc
from first internal contact to last external
& intact of margins in three hours and nine
ten minutes, too little time for the passage
of a spot. Ii was not satellite nor the
sha,r = Of one, because all the four satel-
lites we're in full view all the time. One
OF them went into tran,it at Ills o'clock,
and presented no unusual appearance; its
shadow followed the dark object westward
The gentlemen named have been waiting 10
hear from other observers, but have not,
and are anxious to get some light on this
dark subject.

The Fitz ,hn Porter case is still going

Indian News.

washington, d. C., July 24.-The
United States Iudian Agent, at White
Earth agency, Minnesota, writes the Com
missioner OF Indian Affairs, under date OF
July 10Th, as follows: A reliable half
breed, who has just returned from visit to
the Sissitan agency, Dakotah, says that
while there he met and conversed with
some Sioux Indians from Standing Rock
agency. They were couriers sent with to-
bacco from the Sioux of the plans to in
vite the Sissitan Sioux to Join them in the
hostilities against the whites, that
already different bands of Sioux
had joined the confederation
and that Sitting Bull himself had made a
visit, this summer, to Standing Rock agen-
cy, where he spent three or four days in dis
guise; also that the Government had
threatened to take ponies from some Of the
Sioux Indians, On the Missouri which would
be resisted by all Of those tribes and that a
general Sioux war was imminent and would
soon be announced. Whether there is any
truth in the statement made by the Indians
from Standing Rock agency or not, can
not tell, but they certainly made such q
statement to half breed OF this reserve.
The officers If the Indian Office con-
slider the above as purely sensational and
entertain no fears Of the Sioux tribe Joining
tie hostiles.

Of his sons came into the Chicago office and

knowing of anything wrong, he gave it no
