Father Genin gives the following account
of the battle of the Rosebud, at which Gen.
Custer fell, as it was given to him by Sitting
Bull. Sitting Bull imagined that the force, of
which the Custer command was part, had been
sent out to exterminate his people. He re-
treated from the advancing white men for
eight days, and then, being wearied, he set up
a mock village, left his fires lighted, and ar
ranged number of efigy figures so as to de-
oeive the whites. He then gathered his
braves, and, under cover of the hills to the
south of the Rosebud, marched to intercept
Clusters advance. lie did not wish to fight,
and so sent out messenger with a flag of
truce, who was shot down. After seeing this
man fall from his horse, he called God TO wit
ness that he was not responsible for the blood
that was to be shed. Custer galloped ON to-
ward the empty village and Sitting Bull closed
in behind him and to the right and left.
Father Genin possesses the tOmahawk with
which Custer was dispatched.

The novel feature in the celebration of the
Fourth of July, the present year, was the eve
ming display on the river at Concord, Mass
1t consisted of procession, full half mile
in length, of illuminated boats, nearly fifty in
number. Each boat was decorated with lines
of Chinese lanterns, in innumerable numbers
aud in great variety of arrangement. These
were generally on poles or lines in front and
rear and along the sides above the boats and
in addition to these, there was a large variety
OF appropriate transparencies, emblematc and
historical. The chief marshal led and piloted
the procession, and other marshals kept boats
in line and regulated the movements. The
water was smooth, and the lanterns were bril-
liantly reflected on the surface. There were
fire works, more or less extensive, in the whole
length of the line and the whole scene was
one of the most brilliant that can be imagin-
ed.

DECISION IN A PATENT SUIT.-At Rutland,
last week, Judge Wheeler decided what is
known as the Strong patent suit" in favor of
the Howe scale company The case was
brought in favor of Messrs Prime Meacham
aud Luce of Brandon, who purchased from
Francis NJ Strong what they claimed to be an
outstanding title to a patent, and those patent
extensions, used by the scale company in its
business. They brought suit to compel the
company to pay them for the use of the pat
ents upon all scales made since the extensions
were granted Zone in 1871 and two in 1879
and to prevent the future use. The company
claimed in reply that it was entitled to use the
patents under contracts between Strong and
John Howe, Jr., made long ago, and that the
plaintiffs ought to assign to it whatever title
they got from Strong. The court now de-
cides that the title which Strong gave Prime,
Meacham and Luce was worthless and can
not he enforced against the company, ut the
same time deciding that they cannot be COM
PEELED to reconvey, by reason Of the circum-
stances under which the extensions were OBJ
tanned. This leaves the parties Just rs they
were before the suit was brought, and the
business cannot be interfered with. 1t is said
that the plaintiffs will enter an appeal to the
United States Supreme Court.

UP GOES Chamberlain will not be SO high

pressve to the needs of our own people, but
it will certainly be sufficient TO make producers
and carriers reasonably happy. One hundred
million dollars worth will be wanted in France,
as the Ministry already declares, because of a
bad year in that country; and one of the ex-
plantations given in the British House of Com
mons of the distress in England now felt, is
that the year has been very bad one with
the farmers, Throughout Europe there has
been all summer unfavorable weather and as
this is the real source of the trouble in Eng
land and France, the same trouble, deficient
harvest, though We do not now actually learn
the fact, will perhaps be found to have been
experienced as widely as the common cause
has prevailed. Our year, ON the contrary,
will be an extremely good one and as the
greatest part of the deficiency in Western Eu-
rope will certainly be made up from this side,
we shall be able TO send to the people beyond
the sea all they need without such drain
upon our resources as to make grain dear for
our own people.-N. y, Herald

A VARIATION OF THE OHIO IDEA PROPOSED 4
WASHINGTON.


Especial to the Baltimore Americana
WASHINGTON, April S.-Thc movement Of
Ohio Democrats here TO secure an alliance
with the GrcenbackerS for the fall CANT
paign has much wider significance. than a
mere effort to carry Ohio. TWAS conceived
by the friends Of Senator Thurman and in
his interest for the presidency, as against
Senator Bayard and the eastern hard-monev
wing OF the party. 1t was held by the
Thurman men that if the Democrats
could be brought to endorse a plat
form demanding the substitution OF
greenbacks FOR national-bank circula-
ton and free coinage Of silver, and placing
silver bullion on an equality with gold,
it would then be easy TO capture the Green
back party, and by running pronounced
inf1ationlst like General Ewing for Cover.
nor the Democrats could carry Ohio. Such
a success, it is held by the friends of Thur
man, would. in view OF the importance of
securing the electoral vote of Ohio, compel
the eastern Democrats to accept Thurman,
who it is intended Shall be The most prom-
nent speaker in the coming campaign as Il
candidate for the presidency. Those who
are ct work in the movement believe that by
this coalition they can forestaIl the action OF
yield 10 The western democratic ideas OF
finance. Heretofore eastern Democrats have
held that the necessity OF securing the eccto-
raj vote OF New York in order 10 cleo; u
Democratic President would obligc western
Democrats to waive their soit.money here
sizes and support candidate acceptable to
New York. This move Ct the Thurman
men Is Tor the purpose OF turning the table
Oh the eastern Democrats. and claiming that
as the Grcenbackers and Democrats at the
West bave agreed to act together, they will
uuited!y constitute controlling element in
the party, and that the East must yield and
accept such candidate as Thurman and
tsuch platform as will secure the capture
OF the Grecnback organization. The Thur
| man men claim that marked SUCCESS in
Ohio by union with the Green bac kers
would be notice to the eastern Democrats
that no such man as Senator Bayard could
be elected President il nominated.
