AGAIN THE BENDERS.

Topeka, Kansas. Sept. 80. Upon re-
quest of the county attorney of La Bette
county, Gov. st. John to day issued
another requisition for the notorious
Bender family, who committed the many
atrocious murders at their cabin near
Cherryvale. The governor declines to
give the name of the state upon which
the requisition is issued. as It might de-
feat the object of the writ. From repre-
sensations made to him by the La Bette
county officials, Gov. st. John expresses
the belief that there is no mistake this
time, as was the case with the Nebraska
affair of few months ago. BE is firmly
convinced that the whereabouts of the
Blenders have been revealed, and that
they will be speedily brought to punish
ment. 1t is certain that he would not
make this assertion unless his belief was
well grounded.

GENERAL NEWS.

Tucson, Sept. 80. Two miners report
that Gen. Carr had fight with small
party of Victoria's band, eighteen in
number, in the Hatchett mountains,
killing them all.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. IA Philadel-
phia man whose little son disappeared
from home the other day, and who had
been searching for him increasingly, was
induced to explore weed covered piece
of land known as "the lots," on Second
street below Mif1in. He had not pro-
ceeded far in the swamp when he discov-
cred a thin column of smoke arising from
a rnde hut, almost. .obscured by rank
vegetation, and on going up to the place
he was astonished to find his own boy
and dozen other lads who had run away
from home and were living free and
easy sort of life. The fond parent took
his erring son home, and the police broke
up the rest of the gang.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 3o.-A special
to the Pioneer Press says that Indians
have arrived at Fort Ellis, in full war
paint, with scalps hanging to their belts,
bringing news of bloody fighting among
Maudreli. Stony and Salteaux Indians.
The. iiaulrells raided the camp of the
Salteaux and killed nine persons. \ band
of Sateaux, under Ocean Man, gave
chase and killed nine of the Maudrells
4 band of Stonies is also following the
Maudrells aud more fighting is expected.
Another account says the village attacked
made a desperate resistance and killed 10
Maudrells. The whole border is in a
blaze of excitement. Fleeing Maudrells
are making their way to American terri
tory, whence they came. 1t is thought
the Stonies and Salteaux will pursue
them to this side, and it is expecte / the
scene of war will be transferred to the

COMICAL TELEGRAPHlC
BLUNDERS.

Some person writing about teie-
graphy has given a few amusing
instances in which a slight error In
spacing, or the running of dots INTO
lines in the Geographic signs, has
occasioned strange mistakes In the
message. A gentleman who had
gone to the country to find summer
location for his family, telegraphed
to his wife, "Home tonight The
wires rendered this into "Come to
night" and so the wife posted into
the country at once, while the hus-
band was making his way in con-
trary direction. The writer omits
some of the most comical errors on
record. Not long since a message
came to the principal of business
house in this city from his travelling
agent, who had reached Philadel-
phia-"Am at Continental Hotel
Send some hash by mail" The
agent did not intend to reflect on
the food at the hotel, but wanted
"cash" sent by mail. An affection
ate uncle was informed by telegraph
-"Mary is to be buried on Wednes-
day. Come sure" Mary, who liv-
ed in Chicago, was his favorite niece,
and, as he had not heard of her i'll
ness, the sad intelligence gave him
severe shock. He dressed himself
in deep mourning, and made hur-
ried journey to the West to find a
iovial party assembled at Mary's
wedding. The wires had arranged
for her to be "buried" instead of
married" Probably the worst
blunder ever occurred in the case of
St. Louis merchant, who, while in
New York, received a telegram in
forming him that his wife was ILL
He sent a message to his family
doctor, asking the nature of the
sickness, and if there was any dan
ger, and received promptly the an
swer: "No danger. Your wife has
had child. If we can keep her
from having another tonight she
will do we'll" The mysti6cation OF
the agitated husband was not remov.
ed until second inquiry revealed
the fact that his indlsposed lady had
had had a schill.'

THROWING THE RATCHET.

In the fourteenth century, the situa
ton of public executioner to the city of
Florence became vacant, and, as it was
place of consi lerable emolument, there
were three candidates. A day was APP
pointed for public display of their sever
al abilities. The first candidate, with a
knife, cleverly separated the head of the
victim from his shoulders. He was out
done by the rapid stroke of the second,
whose glIttering broadsword struck ter
TOR into the hearts of the surrounding
multitude. The third, and least promis-
ing, held in his hand short Ratchet,
and, when the victim was extended with
his head on the fatal block, approached
him, and in low whisper inquired if he
was a swift runner, and if he could swim
well. On being answered in the affirm
alive, he desired him to spring Oh his
feet and cross the river. The execution
er then put on fierce look, swung his
weapon round his head, but, instead of
making it descend on the devoted crea-
lures neck, struck it with great force
into the block Shouts of execration
rose from the crowd, and the trembling
wretch. astonished at his wonderful es-
cape, had nearly gained the opposite
bank of the river before any steps were
taken to pursue him. He had scarcely,
however, gone ten yards on dry land,
when the executioner, taking steady aim,
threw his Ratchet with such affect that
the body continued running some time
after the head was Off From this rather
improbable incident the common phrase
of throwing the hatchets is said to be
derived.

OUTWITTING A CANNIBAL

One of the wealthiest settlers in
New Caledonia is a gentleman from
Australla-we will call him Mr..
Brown for short-who went there
some ten or twelve years ago with
but a small capital, and had become
enormously rich by raising cattle
for the markets of Noumea. Mr..
Brown was proceeding on his way
through the bush from one of his
outlying cattle stations, to another,
when he lost his way entirely. He
wandered about till near nightfall,
and then came upon large native
village. Here he was Hospitality
entertained, we'll fed, and most de-
ferentially treated by the great chief
whose village it was-the Chief Atai,
l think, whom some persons regard
as the chief mover and leader of this
years revolt against the French
Atai was all courtesy to his white
guest, and when night had fully
come, conducted him himself to the
hut set apart for his nights repose.
Fortunately, Mr.. Brown was &C
quainted with the customs of the
country, and among them, knew the
common method of putting an end
to travellers preparatory to feasting
upon them. 1t is as follows: The
traveller is kindly received; nothing
occurs to shake his confidence in his
host; he is allotted a cabin to him
self to sleep in. The native huts
usually have one opening, which
serves as a door and window both.
When the traveller is supposed to be
well settled in his cabin, this one
entrance is set on fire. Being that
ched and made altogether of light
wood, it burns very readily, and the
traveller is cooked as well as killed.
Then the feast begins.
Being acquainted with these de-
tails of New Caledonia life, Mr..
Brown knew the cabin to which the
venerable Atai so courteously led
him might probably become for him
10th tomb and a cooking stove
unless his wits could save him. He
entered the cabin of the chief, meet
ing courtesy with courtesy, till they
were both fairly within. Then
Brown, in the prime of life and ath-
letic, Atai old and infrm, the En-
glishman knew he was more than a
match for the savage. He closed
the door within the hut, planted his
back firmly against it, and sitting
thus with his hand on his revolver,
and his other weapons ostentatiously
continued his conversation
with the chief. The situation re-
manned unchanged throughout the
night. A terrible night it was, no
doubt, for the Englishman, and al
most as bad for the chief, who again
and again requested permission to
Mr.. Brown as frequent
ly declaring he could not part with
him-he should not feel safe except
in his company. When daylight
was fully come, Mr.. Brown felt as.
sured that Atai would not venture
to allow his people openly to attack
an individual so well known in the
settlements as himself, and both
issuing forth together from the hut,
he gladly accepted the escort of a
native guide, and was safely con-
Quoted to the French settlements,
where his adventures were the theme
Of considerable interest.
