A General Strike Predicted.

The following telegram from Reading,
Penn, evidently forshadows sad state OF
affairs :" That the various trade union organi-
zations throughout the country, assisted by the
Knights of Labor order, have determined to
create and inaugurate great and general ag-
gressive movement against capital, is without
question positive fact. A prominent official
of the Knights of Labor organization, whose
name is suppressed at present for prudential
reasons, says that the order he belongs to,
and all the labor unions distributed ut all the
great industrial centers of tho country, have
been planning for an organized and determined
campaign for a shortening of the hours of labor,
with an increase of the ruling wages wherever
any extraordinary improvement in business
will warrant it. For some time, and, from
the correspondence that has been going
on recently, 1t is believed the promi-
nent wings of the Knights of Labor
in the East and West are ready to give
the signal for n grand, general and conoen-
trated uprising. The labor element of the
United States, it is said, was never before in
the indsutrial history of the country so united
and harmonious in its action, and so well pre-
pared, financially, to undertake contest with
the capitalists at this time. 1t is estimated,
after close and careful computation by the
| agents Of the Knights of Labor, who have been

Cant. Pnynes Command Safe.

dispatch from General Merritt, October 5,
on Milk River, was forwarded to General
Sheridan on the night of the sth. 1t says:
" We reached Capt. Payne's command at 5 80
this morning. We found the command much
as reported in the original dispatches. The
casualties were twelve killed and forty three
wounded. All the animals of the command
were kilied except twelve mules and three
horseeofShe four companies ofcalvary. Capt
Dedge, with his company, arrived on the list
inst in Capt. Payne's intrenchments, but all
his horses were killed by the enemy. Too much
praise can not be given this gallant officer and
his command for the very praiseworthy act in
the re- enforcement of Payne. Words fail to de-
scribe the scene in the vicinity Of this wretched
intrenchment Over 500 dead animals are lying
outside the breast works, the stench from which
is something horrible. The wounded are doing
we'll. Capt. Payne and Lieut.. Paddock are
both improving. l can not give too much credit
to my alIant officers and men for their admir-
able conduct during the march. In something
like forty eight hours my command has marched
about 170 miles over miserable dusty road, the
worst ever travelled

A Glass Mountain.

Another marvel recently brought to
light in the Yellowstone Park of North
America, is nothing less than noun
tain of obsidian or volcanic glass. Near
the foot of the Beaver Lake band of
explorers came upon this remarkable
mountain, which rises.in columnar cliffs
and rounded bosses to many hundreds of
feet in altitude from kissing hot springs
at the margin Of the lake. AS it was
desirable to pass that way, the party had
to cut road through the steep CLASSY
barricade. This they effected by MAX
ing huge fires on the glass to thoroughly
heat and expand it, and then dashing
the cold water of the lake against the
heated surface so as to suddenly cool and
break it up by shrinkage. Large frag-
ments were in this way detached from
the solid side of the mountain, then
broken up small by sledge hammers and
picks, not however, without severe
decorations of the hands and faces of the
men from flying splinters. In the Grand
iCemon of the Gibson river, the explorers
also found precipices of yellow, black
and banded obsidian, hundreds of feet
high. The natural glass of these locali-
ties has from time iimmemorial been
dressed by the Indians to tip their spears
and arrows tf+tts -..t4

Poisoned by Eating Tea.

The Veterinary Journal reports the
case of the poisoning of Lord William
Beresford's horse by tea, which it pro-
nounces unparalleled in the annals of
veterinary or even human texicology. A
staff cook having left some pounds of
tea in sack, Kaffir groom filled it
with corn, and serving out the contents
TO troop OF horses, gave Lord William
Beressford's charger the bulk of the tea,
which was eaten greedily and produced
the most startling results. The animal
plunged and kicked and ran backwards,
at intervals galloping madly around,
finally falling into donga, where it lay
dashing its head on the rocks, and was
dispatched by AN assegai thrust through
the heart. The post mo- tenn appearance
indicated extreme cerebral congestion.

The Governor of Colorado Uneasy,

=
A special from Denver says 1t is curious
fact that though the Indian scare prevails
throughout the state, no casualties are reported
since the Thernburg fight. Governor Pitkin,
appealing to General Pope for aid, says he
needs fifty thousand rounds of ammunition,
and that dispatches from Leadville say tn
indians are driving miners from camp within
thirty miles from there. He had ordered
picked rifiemen out to defend settlers, and holds
the militia at Leadville until it is apparent
what the Indians intend to do. The Governor
says there are no Government troops at Denver,
and he receives appeals for arms and troops
which he cannot supply.
General Pope telegraphs that he will cover
the country with troops in twenty four hours.
Nobody knows at present what the Indians
are doing. 1t is believed, however, the worst

The Unhappiest Man.

New YORK If1bune.
The unhappiest man in Birmingham a
fortnight ago was F. Underwood, coal
merchant. He quarreled with James
Palmer, lost his temper and sacrificed his
dignity. Palmer had him sarrested for
using vituperative language, and not
satisfied with gaining his action in court
by the help of witnesses who knew
nothing at all about the matter, told
him that he would be the death of him,
that he would smash him, and that he
would put document in the paper that
would ruin him. This threat was exc
cuted in a novel way. He inserted in a
city journal an advertisement asking
"donkeys for picnic party" telling all
whom it might concern to "apply, with
donkey" at the addresses of Underwood.
The result was that Mrs. Underwood
was besiged with donkeys. 1t was in
tolerable;, life was not worth having
with a whole herd OF. donkeys braying
around her door. The, magistrate, how
ever, declined to interfere between Under
wood and the donkeys, but advised him
TO take a summons out against Palmer
for the threats he alleged had been
uttered.

THE Indiana State House, although
just completed, has been seized by the
Sheriff, taken apart and slowed away in
building in Indisnapolis. This disas-
ter, however, has not overtaken the real
State House of which that city is 80
justly proud, but the miniature of the
same, which has been on exhibition in
indianapolis for come time. There was
dispute about the ownership of the
model of the State House and there is
likely to be law suit about the little
building, which is valued at $500. The
strange part of the affair is that any one
would pay twenty-five cents to see a
model of the State House when he could
go out and see the original for nothing

An Editor Instructing Artemus Ward.

the following laughable anecdote:

acting as city editor of the Star, published
at Schenectady, N. Y. While | was
city editor of that sheet / met Artemus.
/ was standing on bridge at the time,
and in talking about newspaper work
was about to say something in regard to
my heavy editorial responsibility, but
Ward checked me by asking: g

Matrimonial Misery.

A Philadelphia lady has left her hus-
band, wealthy Reading lawyer, two
months after marriage. On the second
day after the wedding he charged her
with flirting. After Wedding tour of
ali the fashionable watering places the
couple returned to. their home in Read
ing, where she confesses Size was provided
with horses and carriages and unlimited
pin money. Just before she left him she
went on visit to some friends in the
country, and on her return she found
her husband searching her trunk.
He had found letter. which she had
written to a gentleman accounting her
grievances. She endeaTored to snatch
this from his hand, and in doing so says
she pushed him down and planted her
knee on his breast. He, in turn, forced
her from him, and told her then that he
wanted nothing more to do with her. By
the advice of her mother, deaf and
dumb lady, she left him. She denies
that she took $4,000 of his money, but
says he won't get rid of her until she gets
more than that 10 ..ss

A Desperate Tragedy.

The Burnet House, Cincinnati, was the
scene of terrible tragedy few days ago, the
result of a woman's love. The woman was
Florence Mcdonald, of Syracuse, N. Y, the
man, Sylvester NJ. Hickey, one of the managers
of the Mary Anderson Combination. The
tragedy is described as follows: " The recep-
tion room is on the ground floor of the house,
Vine street side, reached by the ladies' entrance.
M. p. Donnelly, a hack driver, entering
the house this way, when he heard two shots
fired the shots that were directed at Hickey.
He then heard another shot--the one with
which the wsman killed herself. He did not
see the shooting. He saw Hickey stagger out
and fall to the floor. Thos. Mccormick, one of
the walters Of the house, heard two shots. He
ran from the porters' room, distance of thirty
feet, to the reception room, and found Hickey
coming out !" on all fours.'' He looked into
the room and saw the woman pick the pistol off
the, floor, where it had fallen, place it to her
head and fire. He heard Hickey say that
| Mollie Mcdonald had shot him." Upon the
woman's person were found sJiletto,
| laudanum and pistol. In diary which the
woman kept is the explanation for the com
| mission of the deed. Dated at Syracuse N.
Y, September 26th, is found the following:
26th.--He came last night, and told me about
| his plans and how he loved this woman, and
| how much he would do for her. And 1 listened

He showed me what blessing his love is

Then the following of a later date:

Miss Mcdonald died within twenty minute
after she shot herself. Hickeys escape from in

BY new rule of the Postoffice De-
partmhet, sanctioned by the Treasury,
any person may order a book from
abroad by mail, and the duty, if any,
will be collected by the local postoffice
where the work is delivered. Hitherto
the duty has been collected through the
nearest Custom House, thus subjecting
importers of single volumes and persons
unacquainted with official red tapes, te
much trouble. The postmaster hence
forth will remit to the Custom House
the money collected. The new rule
will be convenient alike to regular i'm
porters and to private purchasers.
