After the adjournment of the meeting, the
warehousemen got together informally, Messrs.
Van Dusen, Barden, Pratt, 6terrett, Boyden,
Cargili and others formed the party. They
resolved upon nothing in formal way, but
using 'the sealed half-bushel measure in
receiving and storing grain. The unanimous
verdict was not TO use it. All agreed to go
right along, just as they were doing, and not
mind the requirement to use the measure. If
any farmer wanted it used, he would be denied
the privilege, and if he didn't like it, he could
go elsewhere with his wheat. It was remarked
that by an act of the legislature in 1869, an
iron half bushel measure and scales were re-
quired. But who of the party had them in the
warehouse. To this pointed question, only
Mr.. Pratt replied in the affirmative. That old
law had been ignored, and there was no reason
why this one couldn't be treated in the same
way. Such seemed to be the idea or hope gen
erally entertained.

A CHIEF WITHOUT CASTE.

Sitting Bull No Longer AbEe to Influence
HIS Tribe-DeniaL by the Canadian Of
JiciGls of HIS Reported Preparations for
War.
New York World, April IL
A dispatch to the World from Ottawa
says that Col. Macleod, commander of the
mounted police in the Sitting Bull region,
has just arrived there. The colonel says
that many of the stories recently sent to
Washington by scouts and trad
ers about Sitting Bulls movements are
false. Sitting Bull, with his Uncapapas,
is encamped near the boundary line
on the White Mud river. He is we'll dis
posed toward the Canadian tribes, and his
hostility to the Americans is not shared by
his head men. About Christmas the police
heard that he had sent messengers to the
Grows asking them to accompany him in the
spring on an expedition against the Ameri-
can troops. Sitting Bull admitted to the
police that he had entered into ne
gotiations with the Crows, but it turned out
that they had rejected his overiures,
and even threatened him with violence if he
attempted to cross the line. White Bird and
other leading men among the Uncapapas de-
nouncsd Sitting Bulls warlike projects, and
said they had enough of fighting single
handed against the Americans, and that q
confederacy of all the Indian tribes was inn
possible. The police are satisfied that the
counsels of White Bird win prevail. Sitting
Bull has lost caste with his people, and
many lodges have moved out of his camp
northward. These say that he is tyrannical
and that he is always Matching wild schemes
and urging his people to undertake impossi-
bilities. On the goth of February five
Uncapapas from Sitting Bulls camp went
hunting across the boundary. They camped
in the Grow country, when o band of
Crows attacked them in the night,
killing Hairy Bear, wounding his four
companions and carrying off horses and
provisions. Spotted Eagle, Teton Sioux
chief, Immediately started from Sitting Bulls
camp with 200 young men, pretending that
they were going for Hairy Bears body, and
to get some buffalo meat they had
cached. They returned on che
9th inst, but started out again ON the
10th. Maj. Irvine talked to Spotted Eagle,
but as his explanations were not satisfactory
it was deemed advisable to warn the officer
in command at Fort Benton. This, it is be-
lieved, was the basis of the sensational re-
ports sent to Washington. Spotted Tail and
his band, however, returned quietly on the
22d inst, and are now in camp ct Cypress
hills.

TNew York Journal of commerce]

We have been asked by several cor
respondents to repeat our publication
of Miss Catherine Fanshawe's enigms
upon the letter H, but were unable te
respond at the moment, our manuscript
copied from the Deepdene Album (in
which Miss Fanshawe wrote it in 1916
while on: a visit to the late Thomas
Hope, ESQ, at Deepdene), having been
destroyed in the fire which consumed
our library. A friend who has preserv-
ed a COPY of our original publication
has supplied it, and. we hope that all OF
our readers who may wish to refer to it,
will be careful to preserve 1t. It has of
ten been ascribed to Lord Byron, and,
indeed, has been published in cheap
edition of his poems. A recent extract
from it, contained in the Worlds ques-
tions, is from a garbled version of il
which found its way into several differ
ent. publications. The following was
copied from the original:
Twas whispered in heaven. twas muttered In
hell,
And echo caught family the sound as 1t fell!
On the confines of earth twas permitted to
rest,
And the depths Of the ocean its presence con-
fest;
Twill be found In the sphere when 'tis iiven
as4pder,
Be seen in the lightning and heard in the
thunder;
Twas allotted to man with his earliest breath,
Attends at his birth, and awaits him at death;
Presides o'er his happiness. honors and health {;
Is the prop of his house and the end Of his,
wealth,
In the heaps Of the miser tits boarded with
care.
But is sure to be lost by his prodigal heir.
It begins every hope. every wish 1t must bound
With the husbandman tolls; with the MON
arch is crowned.
Without it the soldier, the sailor may roam.
But woe to the wretch who expels it from
home!
In the whispers of Conscience its voice will be
found,
Nor cen In the whlrlwin of passion be drown
ed &N
Twill not soften the heart; though deaf be the
ear.
Twill make 1t acutely and Instantly hear;
But In shades let rest like q delacate flower;
All breathe on 1t softly-it dies In an hour.

NEVER GET ANGRY.-It does no good.
Some aims have seeming compensation
or arology-a present qualification of
some sort-but anger has none. 1t is
really torment, and when the storm of
passion has cleared away, it leaves one
to see that he has been a fool, and has
made himself a fool in the eyes of others
too. An angry man adds nothing to
the welfare of socity. He may do some
good but more hurt. Heated passion
makes him fire-brand, and it is won
der that he does not kindle flames of
discord on every hand. Without much
sensibility, and often bereft of reason,
he speaketh like the piercing of sword,
and his tongue is an arrow shot out
He is bad element in any community,
and his removal would furnish occasion
for day of thanksgiving. Since, then,
anger is useless, needless, disgraceful,
without the least apology, and found
only in the bosom of fools, why should
it be INDUCED at ali.

"Full many a shaft at random sent
Finds mark the archer little meant"
If Hiram Lynde had been en- Irish
| man, he would have been amply salts
fed with his position as gardner and
hostler for Mark Harrington, Esq,
which yielded him good wages; but he
was a staunch Northern Vermonter,
who found 1t hard to realize there Is q
wide social distinction between the em-
ployer and employee in the suburbs of
New York. To be considered al upper
servant, and to be forced to eat in the
kitchen with Bridget Malene and Ann
McCarty chefed his pride terribly.
Every Sunday, Hiram harnessed .
pair of superb black horses in q costly,
soft cushioned carriage, and drove the
Harrington family TO church. While
they were worshipping within he wait
ed outside or rode slowly around the
streets to pass away the time, but was
always promptly back when the con-
gregation dispersed, to take them home.
Month after month went by. Bitter
feelings in the meantime had gained the
mastery in Hiram Lynde's heart, and
angry mutterings were often on his lips,
which he found hard to suppress.
One fine morning he drove with the
Harringtons to church as usual. As they
slowly ascended the steps, and disap-
peared within the sanctuary, strange
light shone in his eyes, and shaking bis
hand fiercely after them, he exclaimed
proud hypocrites! There they 90 tc
worship God and advertise their fine
fortune, through their velvets, silks and
laces. They put money into the contri-
button box for the poor with jeweled
hands; but nary farthing do they care
for the souls of one of them. Nearly o
year have brought them regularly to
church, but nobody has saida word about
my going in. If preaching is good for
them, why isn't it good for me, too? All
I'll try an experiment. I'll bring theil
fashionable religion out in strong light
or prove 1t all q sham. Ha, ha! yes
will"
Four days passed. A purpose had
ripened in Hiram's breast and he long.
ed to put it into execution.
One morning as he was wedding in
Mr.. Harrington's garden, he saw Joe
Phelps leaning against the gate.
"Hello, Joe! come here" he called
pleasantly.
Joe skipped up the gravel walk to his
side. His mother was hard-toilins
widow, who earned scanty livelihood
for herself and six children by washing
Joe's clothes we're so worn that great
patches covered his knees and elbows
and only great skill in mending anl
darning held them together. Hiram
surveyed him closely.
"Prstty poor clothes you wear; hard
