Relics of Clusters Command.


Mr.. Street, who has recently returned
from prospecting trip, Travelled several
days on the trail taken by Clusters COM
mand in 1876, when on the road to that
fatal field from which the majority of the
glorious Seventh Cavalry never returned.
Up toward the Rosebud, while encamped,
he noticed a little bunch of grass. Think
ing it n birds nest, he proceeded to exam
inc it. Tearing the tuft asunder he found
small silver watch, Swiss make, lying
face downward. The grass beneath it
was withered and made ~ dry bed, while
that around had formed little shelter over
it in such peculiar manner as to attract
his attention. There is nothing about the
time piece to indicate its owner. Upon cx-
animation the works were bright and clean,
and to-day the little relic of the lost COM
mand keeps as good time as it did five years
ago. Searching further, Mr.. Smith discov-
cred n six-shooting Smith & Wesson re-
volver with unfired cartridges in it. The
weapon was much corroded with rust, but
after considerable cleaning the works were
made to operate, and three of the six shots
went when tried. No bones or any remains
could be found that would indicate man
had lost his life, and how these valuable
articles came to be left where they were
will never be known.

The good people of Rock Island, ILL.,, are
greatly excited over the story of Il promi-
ncnt Methodist clergyman's racket in the
room of local hotel, in which deacon's
pretty wife and bottle of whisky played
an important part. The facts of the case
are, that Oh Tuesday evening woman ap-
peared at a Rock Island hotel, engaged u
room, and asked to have her brother sent
up when he arrived. A sleek young man
soon came, inquired if his sister was there,
and was shown to her apartment. A bottle
of whisky was ordered, and the next thing
heard from the pair was the noise of
boisterous revelry. The landlord interrupted
the diversion, and threatened to turn the
disturbers out. The young man, who was
very drunk, sobbed out in maudlin way:
"FOr Gods sake, don't do that; I'm Meth
odist preacher. l am really; my names
Meredith" He told the truth, for he was
the Rev. George Francis Meredith, re-
markedly popular pastor of church ut
Kansas City, and the woman was deacon's
wife,

A CLASSIC pRuNKARp.
How He Managed to Take n Drink
and Defy Fate.


If the Providence Journal states the fact
correctly, the bar-keeper was about to close
up. He had said SO several times, and had
put out all the lights but one The old
fixtures had shook the sawdust from their
feet and reluctantly directed their footsteps
homcward. Only a stranger remained, a
dark, saddencd man, who sat dcmurely on
q stool and kept his thumbs revolving
around each other like white mice turning
wheel.
When the coast was clear he stepped up
to the bar and said softly: "May whisper
word in your carp" HYou may, mister,
if you will be quick about it" replied the
drink-mixcr, with his hand on the lamp
screw.
1 want you to fill me flask of your best
whisky for family sickness" said the
stranger drawing out an ancient wallet with
twenty fathoms of leather string wound
around tia well-worn wallet, that looked
rs If all the waves and billews of bad luck
had beat upon it, and gone over it and
through it, and fattcned it, and washed it
out clean.
The barman filed him up pint, showed
down the cork until it squeaked, wiped the
bottle dry and set it upon the counter.
"The autumnal air Is getting trifle tar
! fish, soliloquized the stranger. "Would
you have any objection to my taking II
little liver-padder from my bottle?"
He filled the tumbler quite full, took it as
he did parcgoric in the days of his infancy,
and then remarked:
perhaps, on the whole as the night has
far waned, and my family are on their
spiral springs end in their trundles, you
had better put my bottle away on the
upper shelf and when PhGbus Apollo
begins to canter his golden prancers along
the avenues of the purpling east, will
call for 1t, and you may then assess me the
appropriate amount of ducats.
The bar-kecper sprang over the bar and
began to kick him.
"What he said, sweetly, "you kick me
after / have drank? Don't you know bet.
ter than that? Kick me with both feet
cannot feel you even then. Before took
that glass, if you had but shook your fist III
me you would have wounded me-hurt me
but now scorn the physical punishment
Good night, F" he said, as he stood on the
doorstep. 81 see by the shadow on the
sidewalk that you have kicked me again
You should remember, my irascible publ
can, what the dear old poet said Fate can
not harm me now; / have lined to-day.
So say l. / have drunk tonight. Coco

Dissccting Carl schurz.

Chicago Inter-Occan, (Rep.)
Carl SEIZURE is the Simon Tappertit of
American politics. He has underworld to
lead revolutions in two hcmisphercs, in 1S4S
and 1872 and now begins to show symptoms
of another outbreak. He demands "A new
party" The Republican party was good
enough for him as long as it kept him in
the Senate, but as soon as his term expired
he attempted to persuade people that a new
one was necessary for the good of the Nation
and himself. When he was given another
Office the necessity at once ceased, and the
crying need that existed from 1872 to 1876
was temporarily supplied. Butnow, us soon
as his salary stopped, he is ON his legs again
with the same old story. The issues are
dead, he says; the old parties are rotten.
What the Nation wants is n new political
organization and an Office for Carl Schurz

THE temperance element is said to be
very strong in Texas, and prohibitory
liquor law was very nearly carried at the last
session of the Legislature. A correspondent
of the New Orleans Democrat writes: "As
little as you may think, should it ever be
squarely placed before the people, whisky
will be voted down in Texas. 1t would be
more easy to carry prohibition law here than
in the old States, for mono of them-no other
people on earth-haye suffered SO many
woes from its use. Its blight is upon almost
every household, its victims in every prison
and graveyard"

Mr.. vennor's second Guess at July.

Mr.. Henry G. Vennor, in letter to u
newspaper in Ottawa, Can. of the 23d in
slant, says: 81 believe that the present sum-
mer is one in triad of similar summers,
probably the middle one. 1t is likely to
resemble that of 1880, and to differ in some
of its minor details. The approaching month
of July will give great deal of rain, as in
1880, over large portion of the United
States and Canada, while in Great Britain
the weather will in all probability be like
wise stormy and wet. The storms of wind,
thunder and lightning are likely to be Sc
we're and frequent. The heaviest rains for
New York and vicinity would locate after
the Goth, and probably on the 21st or ed
dates between the 10th aud 10Th days IN
exceedingly hot term is likely to be ex-
perienced in both the United States and
Canada. Within few days from the close
of the month, probably about the 9th or
28th, u cool wave will occur, carrying frosts
in Canada and cool weather generally, with
storms of wind and rain throughout the
United States. Where storms have been
severely felt in the Western and South
western States during June, there also will
the severe storms of July be experienced.
Notwithstanding these frequent and severe
storms during the month, frequent altera-
tons of fine hot weather will counteract to
a great extent the damage done to crops in
general in the West. The entrance Of July
in Canada, and also to II considerable extent
in the United States, will be cool and
shOwery, and the present lookout for the
Fourth is not very promising one.

If we may believe latest reports, French
enterprise promises to undertake the accom-
plishmcnt of third great engineering feat
in cutting canal through the Isthmus of
Corinth, which, both in ancient aud modern
times, has formed an obstacle in the way of
commerce between the Adriatic and the
Egean. When the tower of Corinth was at
its prime, IL was the one drawback to it's
happiness the single element of weakness
in its prosperity, that it was compelled to
have two separate harbors-one for the
gulf and the other for the Egean. With
the view mitigating, as far as possible,
the Inconvenience that arose from this cir
cumstance, the Corinthians constructed
across the isthmus u polished roadway, over
which vessels could easily be hauled and,
from the purpose with which it was built,
it was called the Diolcos. After Corinth
was destroyed by the Roman General Mum
mius (B. c., 145), and restored by julius
Caesar, the Emperor Nero bestowed some
notice on this once favored city, and de-
voted his attention to the question of cut
ting canal through the isthmus. The
ruins of the works which he
caused to be erected are still shown.
1t is said that Nero wished him
self to strike the first blow, or as we
should now say, lay the foundation stone;
but q mutiny detained him Mt Rome. The
work then languished, and either want of
money, as reference to Suetonus would sug-
gest, or the difficulty of piercing the hard
rock, led to the abandonment of the design.
The Emperor Justinian, who was initiated
at later periods by the eastern Emperor En-
manuel, and also by the Venetians, erected
Notifications across the isthmus; but no one
attempted to renew Nero's abandoned canal.
The Notifications did not avail to protect
Corinth against either the Herulians or the
Cloths, whereas the canal would have added
greatly to the welfare of that city and ofthc
neighboring peoples. 1t is appropriate and
suspicious that the foundation of modern
kingdom of Hellas should be so speedily
followed by an attempt to perform one of the
few tasks neglected by antiquity. With u
cutting through the isthmus more will have
been done to restore the prosperity of Cor
inth than has been even so much as at
tempted since the age of the Caesars.

THE LINE OF DEFENsE.-The plan deter
mined upon by the defense in the Star-route
cases was stated to-day by one of those in
terested. 1t is not believed now that the
cases will come to trial before December,
and then great number of witnesses, in
GLIDING Congressman, Cabinet officers and
others in high official position, will be called
to testify as to what induced the general
expedition of the service Another feature
will be the summOning of all the journalists
either correspondents or editors, in whose
papers assertions of fraud have been made
These men are to be put upon the stand and
asked for the facts of their own knowledge
on which the assertions printed were based
1t is not believed by the defense that one in
fifty of the persons who have written these
statements can substantiate their assertions
upon the stand. This will be relied upon
to weaken the prosecution and lay the
foundation for the claim that the charges
have been instigated by interested parties,
and that the men who wrote them know
nothing of the flcts-T. 4. Richardson's, in
