Seal Fishing.

Quite q number of vessels are en-
gagged in seal fishing at Cape Flattery-
six schooners or sloops being engaged
in the business. The Indians at Cape
Flattery are the most successful seal
fishers; they often make from eight to
ten dollars per day. The sealing
grounds are from twenty to forty miles
outside the Cape, and as the Indians
are fearful of going too far to sea SO
early in the season when the weather
is so treacherous, they pay these
schooners- usually from three to twelve
tons burden--to take them out to the
"grounds," where, in case of storm,
they have a refuge. The seals are
taken when sleeping ON the surface Of
the water. The Indians approach
noiselsssly in canoes, and when near
enough-anywhere within thirty feet
they throw their spears, with a small,
stout cord attached, and hauling the
seal alongside their canoes, dispatch
them with q club made especially for
the purpose. The white men who en-
gage in seal fishing use rifles entirely
in hunting them. The objection to
this mode Of operation il that the 70
port of the shot awakens all the game
within hearing distance, when they
quickly take alarm and make their e.
cape. Some Of the Indians at Cape
Flattery have in ready money from
81 900 to 81, ,0O0--one old chief who
answers to ths suphonious title Of
'CApt John" having . greater sum
than the last named mount--Seastlt

March, 24.-Yesterday the societies
and clubs Of the city gathered in pro
cession, and, with music and banners
marched to the cemetery to adorn the
graves of the insurrectionists killed in
1848. The procession was headed by
the surviving veterans, with music and
banners On passing the military
quarters some four hundred soldiers
made charge upon the Republican
club, which numbered some 1000, and
attempted to take away the banner on
which was inscribed "God and the
People" In the melee two men were
dangerously wounded by bayonets, and
a large number slightly cut with swords
and bruised under the feet of the cav
airy. One man had his ear cut off by
sabre aimed at his skull. The citi-
zens had no arms, and were powerless
to resist or fly from the impetuous
charge. Twenty-seven of the leaders
were taken to prison.
The officers of the army had received
orders from the minister of war at
Rome to seize all banners and devices
carried by republican clubs in all pro-
cessions and meetings-and the clubs
deeming the order wanton violation
Of personal rights, determined to disre-
gard it and take the consequences.
The city is in ferment of excitement,
and the press and people, almost with
out an exception, denounce the gov
srnment in strong terms.
A similar scene was enacted in Flor
ence yesterday on the occasion Of pro
cession got up to influence the reduc-
ton of the price of flour, which is reg
ulated by law. The military charged
into the procession and injured many
very severely before it was broken up.
About the same hour there was riot
ing and violence in Venice, of which
have no particulars.
Trouble and discomfort has been on
the increase ever since the Carroll cab
met was driven to resign by the reac-
tionists. The Depretis ministry is de-
servedly unpopular, as it exhibits only
capacity for blundering.
1t is proper to say that the republi-
can clubs have carried their banner for
two years unmolested, and within two
weeks past it was borne in the process
sion that celebrated the kings birth
day. Z. BEEsoN.

A Tribune Washington special says:
Nothing more horrible has ever been
recorded than the ravages of the
plague now ravaging in Morocco. A
letter to a gentleman in this city
from the United States consul at Tan
giers, dated March 10Th, gives the
following account Of suffering from
famine and from starvation: All who
can are now running away from this
unfortunate country, where famine,
cholera and typhus are more than
decimating its population. AT Tan
giers alone we are having from thirty
to forty cases Of typhus per day; and
at the city of Morocco the daily NOR
tality from typhus is from 200 to 250
persons. The ordeal of death is COM
plete. Parents eat their children, and
at Mayador, Saf and Casebianca the
starving Arabs eat their dead. The
atmosphere was impregnated with the
deadly poisons emanating from the
thousands that are half buried and
the many left out exposed to the sun
and rain. European residents take
every precaution; nevertheless, nearly
half have already succumbed to the
dreadful disease. The fatalist Mos
lens ridicule all such expedients to
avoid the contagion, believing that
all is written by God, and they must
die if so decreed.

A letter from Camp Bidwell in the
Winnemucca .Silrer State, indicates
that the Indians in that section are
getting sensitive as the warm weather
approaches. Five Indians were ar
rested at Bidwell on the 9th inst,
for threatening to make trouble and
kill some one. The correspondent
gives the following account of the
arrest of fifteen others for like con-
duet: "From information received
on Thursday last Lieut.. Garvey, with
one Indian and seven men, started
for Guano valley, where they arrested
fifteen Indians the same day they left
the post, having gone their fifty-two
miles in eight hours, through a bad
country and over horrible roads.
Nachez and Indian Sam were there
in advance, and Nachez had deter
mined to take them over to McDer-
nit. The Indians did not wish to
come over here, but Lieut.. Garvey,
having left two men about 100 yards
in the rear, went into their camp, and
using the suariter IN n,odo let them
know that he had the ,tortier IN re in
reserve thould they refuse to give up
their arms. The former prevailed
and we have a guard house full of
Indians"
The Silcer State thinks that this bad
conduct and threats against the whites
shows that there is probability of
another Indian outbreak this spring
among the bands which range from
Modoc county Cal, through North
western Nevada and Southeastern
Oregon, and that the greatest vigi-
lence on the part of the military is
necessary to prevent the Indians from
committing depredations and murders.
Some persons claimed that the pa
troll boat on the Columbia during the
recent Indian troubles did more harm
than good; that friendly Indians were
fired upon and killed, etc. Friendly
Indians might have been fred into,
and positively the hostiles were, as
the following letter from Willard
Herren, of Heppner, to his brother
George, at Salem will show:
Last Monday down at the mouth
of John Day chuck lot of us boys
found some Indian caches and opened
them for the purpose of getting
some buck skins, etc. Finally We
found large one and thought we
had made killing. On top were
beaded arrow quivers and fancy
blankets, but when we got down q
little ways we found three dead In
dians, one OF which must have been
. chief from the way he was fixed up.
There were three white scalps tied
to his belt, one Of which was a white
woman's. She had light, nearly blonde
hair, somewhat curly. His rifle and
six shooter were buried with him,
also broken up Wells, Fargo 4 Co.'S

been killed by the patrol boat last
summer. As | was not hunting dead
Indians, l did not examine all the
things.

About 4S3 persons wendell their way
yesterday to the depot TO take the special
train for Appletonwhere the Sunday school
pupils of the city held their annual pic
mic. Almost everyone bore basket
filed with ''good things" and almost
every face was bright with anticipated
pleasure. Round trip tickets were sold
for 80 aud % cents and those whose
means did not warrant this expenditure
were furnished with tickets through the
benevoience of some gentlemen instru-
mental ID getting mp the excursion. The
day was continuous delight to the lit
tie folks and the older ones seemed also
to have mingled joys" The picnic
was not held in the same park in which
it was last year.
A number Of our summer visitors &C.
companied the picnickers for the purpose
of viewing the famous water power,
known wherever manufactures are
mentioned, and their words of admira-
ton would increase the local pride of the
most inveterate Appletonian.
The train returned to this city at 6 P.
NJ, bringing back the excursionists after
day spent pleasantly. Not the slight
est accident occurred during the whole
trip, which speaks well for those manag-
ing the affair.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

The building used by August Hartung
in the Ord ward as a dwelling and saloon
was struck by lightning on Monday
night about 1890. The bolt seemed to
have first struck the chimney leyeling it
down to the roof, it then followed the
rafters tearing ont two, SCATTERING one to
pieces, and scattering the shingles in
every direction. When it reached the
room occupied by Mrs. Hartung, it
struck the ceiling stripping it of its plas-
ter and tearing off the laths, and then
following the gutter pipes reached the
earth. 1t seems almost miraculous how
any person in the sleeping room escaped.
It was occupied at the time by Mrs.
Hartung and two of her children. The
floor, bed and cradle were literally COW
cred with plaster, and after Mrs. Har-
tung recovered from the shock the child
rem were completely covered with the
debris. Hartung, who was in an adj
Joining room received such 4 shock as to
be for the time deprived of the use of
his limbs. The shingles were knocked
off the roof at various points, showing
that the building was struck by more
than one bolt. 1t was take it all in all
the ''closest call on record"

THE yellow fever has finally been de-
clared epidemic in Memphis. It has
spread all over the city every effort made
to confine it within the limits of the por-
ton first afflicted having proved unavail-
ing. The number OF cases is also rapidly
increasing and cases outside the city
limits are reported. The police arrest
unacclimated persons who enter the city.
No efforts are spared to check the dis
ease. Efforts are being made to induce
clergymen to discontinue services SO as
to prevent the spread Of the disease.
The means of fighting the disease are to
leave no material on which it can work.
\ lady in st. Louis became sick and was
sent to the quarantine hospital it being
thought suspicious case. Louisville
has had one or two cases. Cairo still
escapes. At Havana. Cuba, the fever
seems to be on the decrease, but 90
deaths occurring from it last week.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1879-08-14

II last weeks issue we spoke of an
intended visit of Madame Janauschek to
Manitowoc and the failure OF the agent
to make terms with the trustees Of the
Turner Hall. We have since learned
that the trustees never ask more than
ten dollars for the hall, and that in other
places where accommodations and atten-
dance are no better the price asked is
double that much. 1t does seem that
ten dollars for the use of a hall, scenery
and lights is quite reasonable and should
deter no company from visiting our city.
The trustees say that in many instances
when the audiences were small they have
taken as low as five.
