master Of the department OF Dakota.
Thereare plentiful rumors every day Of In
dian and army movements, but no serious en-
gagement mas since taken place. 1t is stated that
the real cause of the trouble was the dis
covery of valuable coal mine at Hog canon,
forty miles from San Carlos, by Tiffany, the
Indian agent at the San Carlos reservation.
Tiffany induced the chiefs to sell to him, or
believe they had sold to him, the property con-
tanning this coal mine, and he paid fifty chiefs
sale only npOn the assurance of Tiffany that
the United States government requi, ed
the property and had instruct
ed him to negotiate its purchase.
When the Indians discovered that the govern
ment did not authorize Tiffany to buy their
property they naturally became very much in
censed and terrible scheme of revenge was
the result The action Of Tiffany's was the
real cause of all the trouble, and the massacre
| shows how fearfully the scheme OF vengeance
has been carried out

English Dinner. and Drink.
Edward Kings Letter in Boston Journal

Edward Kings Letter in Boston Journal
[ thought the country folk-the parsons
and their wives and innumerable daughters,
and the provincial aristocracy, whom We
saw assembled at dinner took the heat
rather philosophically. could not OBJ
serve that it made the slightest difference
with their consumption of claretand cham
payne, Of which they drank floods: Don't
tell me about the twelve millions Of bottles
of Zoedone drank in Great Britain last
year! tell you that England is thirsty for
alcohols, and that men, women and chill
dren consume them in enorm GUS quantities,
from morning to night, and well into the
night. How it would make good Massa-
chnsetts Puritan, who has never travelled,
stare TO see the sums which an English
family Of means will spend on its elmer {;
And then after dinner they trundle of, ,
parsons and all, to theaters. where they
have paid $3.50 each for seats at per-
formances which begin q little before 9 land
are over before H. And then they came
home to the hotel, and have supper-and
lots of it. No ices, save now and then at
dinner, no iced teas, waters, or sparkling
thinness; but wines with bodies, and liquors
with spirits, powerful enough to overcome
the will of ST Anthony. Itseemed to me
that the dinner was badly served, but as the
heat quite took my appetite ! refused to be
guided by my Impressions on that particular
occasion. The English initiate, to the out
ward seeing, in these days. the continental
fashion Of dinners at fixed rates, served in
courses, but careful inspection shows that
the cooks regard the entrees as Of no con-
sequence whatever, and concentrate all
their attention to the inevitable roast beef
or mutton. The fish, even at the grandest
in these London hotels, is almost always
detestably served; soups, divided for the
convenience of the walters, suppose, into
athick land aclear" are rarely first class;
roasts Of game only fair. And in fruit, Lon

has always been a strong temperance wo-

In Imerlna, her central province, a new
prohibitory law has just been promulgated,
which, if she shall be able to enforce it,
ought to result in the strictest sobriety.
Under penalty Of fine of ten oxen and
ten dollars it prohibits the manufacture ami
sale of Intoxicating beverages and punished
with lighter penalties those found drunk
carrying the liquor, whoever may have sedg
them. If one convicted be unable to pay
the fine, he must suffer imprisonment, one
day being regarded as equivalent TO a six
pence of the fine. a ccde Of laws regulat-

has been prohibited The owner only can

wishes of the cabinet, will address . letter to

true of g section Of the Atlantic road, and also

The man was in Jail in Atchison subsequently,
and made his escape about q year ago. and has
not been seen since. though the government Of
Dakota offered 81, 900 reward, which is still
up, for his capture.
At the Minneapolis fair, John Burnhaul, an
elderly gentleman from Milwaukee, accompan-
led by his son, came to police headquarters
and reported that his watch and chain had been

officers as the party who had his pocket picked
at the last fair of $500. His watch and chain
he valued at $500, and as he left the station
remarked that this would positively be his last
appearance at any fair.
At Denver, the police arrested five women and
three men belonging to notorious bana of

Tbs passengers tell substantially the same

The process Of 50 bdiyiding the large
plantations into smaller farms is going on
steady in the south. In Mississippi, for
instance, there were A., $40 plantations in
1860, and the average number Of acres in
each was $40. Ten years later there were
t68,O23 farms, the average area of each
being 1913 acres. In 1880 the number Of
farms was &c, 205, averaging 1876 acres each.
While the area Of cultivated land is less
than it was in 1860, the production Of cot
ton is nearly twice as great. The census
of 1880 will doubtless show still greater
change in the domestic economy Of the
south by the subdivision.
