King Of France, took for his standard
the cope Of st. Martin. Under Philip
Augustus the royal standard was while,

VI. carried 4 blue standard. divided at

revived the white standard, which in
Il 50 gave place to the tricolor. Its ori-
gin is curious. Camille Dcsmoulins iiav-
ing sratched a poplar leaf from tree in
the gardens of the Palais Royal, held il
:loft as q raliying point, and suggested
green rs the national color. But it was
then remembered that the livery of the
Count dArtois, the most unpopular
member of the royal family was Of that
color. SO il was then resolved to take
the colors Of the city Of Paris, red and

u The wife Of IL Eiiucr in Hopcwc}I,
Pa, had yellow hair of wonderful
length and abunAauce.It was so heavy as
to be a bother, but her husband would
!:ot let her cnt it OF, even when offered Il
good price by dealers in hair. Lately
work became scarce with him, and he
did not know how to make Il payment
soon coming due on his little house. The
loss of his home seemed probable. Then
a stranger came along and offered $500
for the treasured yellow hair. That
amount of money would raise the mort
gage on the homestead, and the husband
reluctantly made the sale. He could not
help shedding tears wher he saw the
strangers shears dcspoiling his wife 5

she looked at herself in the glass; but
they consoled themselves with the crisp
bank notes, and the buyer went q way
with the hair. A few Gays afterward
the miner went to pay the debt, and
learned that tho bills were all counter

TIE NEWS IN A NUTSHELL

Jacob Abbott, the distinguished author, died
at Pennington yesterday.
Gen. Joseph Hooker, died very suddenly at
Garden City, L. l., yesterday. He was in his
usual health to within short time of his
death.
An old lady residing in Sanford named
Parker died Dot 18th, under circumstances
which gave rise to the suspicion that she had
been poisoned. On Thursday her remains
were exhumed and the stomach sent to the
State Assayer for analysis. She was possessed
of considerable property and desire to get it
is supposed to have been the motive for the
poisoning if poisoning there was.
The Utes are anxious for conference with
Gen. Merritt. The people of Colorado are
very much excited over the Indian question
and demand the exte animation of the savages.
The Cabinet yesterday decided to issue an
order forbidding the importation of Canadian
cattle into the United States. The order i
issued TO offset the order OF the Canadian
council forbidding the importation of Amer.-
can cattle.
The recent gale in Nova Scotia caused great
loss of shipping. Many American vessels are
reported lost.

SUPPOSED POISONING
An Old lady in Sanford Dies I'M
der Supicious Circumstances.
HER BODY EXHUMED AND AN IN
VESTIGATION TO BE MADE.

PORTSMOUTH, n. H., Oct. 31.-Sanford, Me-,
is excited over the sudden death of Mrs. Eliza
beth Parker, aged rs years, wife of B. G. Par
kerr to whom she was married about three
years ago. Her death occurred while sitting at
the breakfast table ON Friday, October IL. The
fact that no physician was called, that she was
buried the next day, that she had about $4,000
in the bank, left her by a former husband, and
which it is alleged Parker and his nephew had
tried to obtain, led to the suspicion of foul
play, and an application to the proper authori-
ties for all official investigation Accordingly
on Thursday, Coroner NOVEL; summoned a
jury, had the body exhumed, and held an in
quest. Drs Day and Merrill of Alfred made a
post-mortem examination and had the stomach
with portion of the liver removed to be sent
to the State Assayer at Portland for analysis.
An examination of the heart and brain showed
no trace of disease sufficient to cause death.
The hearing was continued for two weeks,
when the report of the Assayer will be made.
Witnesses We're examined and all particulars
of the sudden death ascertainod. 1t is stated
that no one was with Mrs. Parker except her
husband when she died, who sent for a doctor,
the nephew, however, stopping him from go
ing. The couple were in the habit Of quarrel
ing over money matters, it is said.

THE INDIANS.
Hostile Utes Asking for Reace.
The Colorado People Demanding the
Savages' determination.


NEW YORK, Oct 31.--A Rawlins despatch
states that $50 hostile Utes are camped on
Grand River, so miles south of Merritt's camp,
and Chief Jack is anxious to treat with Merritt
for peace, but Merritt cannot receive any OF
the Indians as ENJOYS. Jack says the reason
of the outbreak was that Meeker told the In
dams that those who were bad would be
hanged when the troops arrived. The In
dams told parties recently there that the Nor
mons allotted them in their hostilities, and the
Indians expect open aid from them. There
are only % ties ct the Unitah agency. Gen.
Merritt has sent for two more companies OF
cavalry. 1t is doubtful if Mrs. Meeker sur
wives the hardships she has been through.
A Denver dispatch says: The Denver and
Colorado press are Rejecting the great excite
ment prevalent here over the Indian war.
They want the Indians killed and the reserva-
tions confiscated and thrown open to miners
and settlers. The crusade assumes political
aspect and will play an important part in the
Presidential campaign and the next Congress.
The hostility against the Indians is something
unparalleled. "No quarter" is the cry, and
the only Utes who have any show for justice
are Ouray, his wife, Chepeta and his sister
Susan, theswife of Douglas The mines of the
Ute reservation are richer than at first sup
posed, and the Governor will be pressed to
call out the military to quell the war which
will follow if the miners crowd, hunt and
bushwhack as they threaten. The outlook
for the Indians in Colorado is serious. The
people declare they must go.
The Army and Navy Journal has private ad-
vices reporting great suffering among the men
of Gen. Merrjtt's command at White River,
and corresponding impatience among the Off
GERS at the situation in which thoy are placed,
witt, no forage and but lutte grass for horses,
and the soldiers half clad, with but single
blanket for a man in this coolest of all cold
climates. The character of the country is
shown by the fact that Lieut.. Weir's body
when found wassfrozen.
WINNEPEG, Oct. 31.-The situation of the
Indians at Saskatchewan is grave, owing to
the scarcity of buffalo, and if supplies are not
furnished, it is feared they will forcibly take
provisions from he settlers. Large numbers
of Indians have emigrated to Prince Albert
district. They were all we'll armed Settlers
ask government protection.
SANTA Fee, Oct. 31.--Advces from Wingate
state the fort has been reduced to ashes by the
Navaios and all the stock stolen. Nothing
stated about the killed or wounded.
RAwLINs, Oct. 31.-The Utes send word they
wish to treat with Merritt, being dissatisfied
with the Adams conference.
