AS stated recently, the manager
of the asylum for the deaf, dumb
and blind at Flint have reinstated
the pupils who were expelled from
the institution week or two ago,
for refusing to sing "mass' at an
exhibition. The results Of the in
vestigation are thus tersely present
ed by the Detroit Evening News:
"First in showing that at least
two of the trustees practically
knew very little about what was
going on there second, that the
rules of the institution were gem
orally made up as occasion demand
ed or caprice suggested; third,
that there was just religion enough
mixed up in the pupils to make
rows; fourth, that one pupil was
expelled for not singing, whereas
she could not sing were it to save
her neck-and necer had been ask
edit sing fifth, that Father Haira
and Trustee Aldrich hate each
other magnifcently; sixth, that
outside of its teachers dah6ling IL
religious matters the asylum is
well managed institution; and, las
of all, that the exercise of little
common sense and manly courtes,
all around have made the investiga
ton unnecessary"

The raid into the Indian territory
seems on the decline. The Chicago
Times reporter in the territory re-
ports that the families of sqnatters
are retiring before the soldiers, bag
and baggage, and are returning to
the places from whence they came
Most of them went into the terri
tory in good faith, believing the
land was subject to entry. Many
of them are ruined by the mistake
and will have nothing left when
they get back. Some of them even
are having hard scratching to get
enough to eat. There are from
seventy-fve to a hundred families
of them and nearly all are leaving
No more trouble is anticipated IL
keeping the territory clear of then
for the present, though many o
them say the land, climate am
everything are so fine that the In
dams who cannot appreciate then
must eventually give way for thos
who can.

HindOstan Troubles.

Robbery by armed gangs has be-
come quite common in Deccan, In
dia, especially in the Poona Dis
trict. For some time past bands
of dakoits have been securing the
country, committing daring attacks
on houses and villages. They
seem to form part of regular or
canization under command of one
Wassado Bulwund, lately clerk in
the Financial Department. They
are suspected of having set the
fire which destroyed the Govern
ment school, Boodwar Palace, law
courts, post office, and fifty houses
in Poona on the night of the 18th.
In their remarkable manifesto
to the Bombay Government, threat
ening another mutiny and to put a
price on the head OF the Governor
unless the distress is relieved, they
inform the government that unless
extensive public works are at once
opened, employment provided foi
the people, native trades encour
aged. taxes reduced and salaries
of highly paid Europeans cut down
they will not cease to plumber ant
will extend to Europeans wha
they have hitherto confined to the
natives. They will kill the Govern
or of Bombay, hang the Judge o
the Court of Sessions OF Poona
carry murder and rapine through
out the country and engage il
massacres OF the Europeans. Th
manifesto ends by warning tn
Governor that unless he at ono
complies with the acquisitions, tn
price of one thousand rupees wi
be put on his head. Four per
sons. including Wassado Bulwun
append their signature to the man
ifesto and seals.
The government, which at frs
was inclined to leave the matte
in the hands Of the local police,
now taking more energetic meas
ures. A considerable number @
troops patrol the country, and a re
ward OF one thousand rupees ha
been offered for the capture O
Bulwund.

A Sad Sight to Behold"

Some fourv eeks since IA man, or rath-
er n walking skeleton came into CRIT
TENToN's Patent Medicine Depot, No.
Sixth avenue, New York, completely
exhausted, just riding from Fourteenth
street, near Ninth avenue. He took u
chair, and after regalning sufficient
strength, Informed Mr.. G.. that he had
been given up by his physicians to die,
from what they termed to be u severe
case of Consunption--One lung being
entirely gone, aud the other more or
less affected. He says, "Mr. Crittenton,
will yorr article, which have seen all
vertised (meaning HALE's HONEY OF
HOREHoUND AND TAR), cure, or give
me relief" / gravely Informed him
that it was q very bad case, and one
which / was afraid had run too long;
but advised him to try one bottle, AS IL
certainly could do him no harm, and
see the effect; explaining, at the same
time, that HONEY OF HOREHoUND
soothed and catered all lirritations and
infiammations, and the TAR Balm
cleansed and cleared the throat and air
passages leading to the lungs, and that
the additional ingredients Kept the Or
gans cool, moist and i'm healthy action.
He took my advice, boughta bottle and
went away. On Saturday he again
came into the store, with light step
and smiling countenance; stated that
he used the first bottle, found so much
relief that he felt encouraged, aud at
different times since he sent for seven
more bottles, which he had used, and
believed himself permanently cured;
said he should recommend it to all of
his friends and acquaintances, which,
as he said, were many, as he was a man
of wealth and influence. The price Of
Hoie's Honey Of Horehound and Tar is
only fifty cents a bottle. Thus you will
see this gentleman was cured for S4,
after paying hundreds of dollars to
physicians. Sold at all drug stores at
90 cents and 81. Large size much the
