Sitting Rull Flees to the Mountains.

Advices have been received at Gen. Terry's
headquarters in st. Paul, that forty lodges OF
Indians under Sitting Bull, have left the mouth
of Milk river where the military expected to
capture then, for Canada, and as they have but
about seventy miles to go, are now across the
line. Thomson. a deserter from the Canadi-

dresses and lies as we'll as the worst OF them,ln
fuenced Sitting Bull to take this course. Sitting

now captured, and at Fort Buford AS many
more are on the way to surrender, so that Sit

he should remain on Canadian soil, and the Brit

compel him to return where he will be between
two fires and an easy prey.

Another Railroad Holocaust.

Last Saturday night train on the Erie rail
way was thrown from the track five miles from
Owego, near Tiago Center. The passengers
were not seriously injured but the postal car
fire, and burned like gun powder. The oil
lamps used probably exploded and added fuel
to the fire from the stove. Every man in the
car was roasted to a crisp. The remains OF one
who weighed over 200 we're gathered up and
put in a small box. In the express car was
messenger, Henry R. Brewer Of Elmira. Eff.
forts we're made to relieve him. The names of
the dead are Joseph Reidenger, mail agent;
Henry c. Brewer, express agent of Elmira;
Ingraham of :Binghamton and mail weigher
Fox of New York. The remains were taken to
Owego, where an inquest was held.
Five men in all were burned, but no passen-
gers were injured. The men in the postal car
must have persisted very quickly, as not sound
came from the wreck except the cracking
flames.

PRAYING FOR THE PREsIDENT.-The
class of 1866, of which President Gar
field was a member, had gathering at
this Commencement. In a meeting to
pray for the Presidents recovery, one
of his classmates rose and said:
"Twenty-six years ago tonight, and
at this very hour, our class were on the
top of Graylock to spend the night of
the Fourth of July. AS we were about
to lie down for sleep, Garfield took out
his pocket-Testamen and said: i am
in the habit of reading chapter every
night at this time with my mother.
Shall | read aloud 2 All assented, and
when he had read he asked the oldest
member of the class to pray. And there
In the night, on the mountain top, We
prayed with him for whom we have now
assembled to pray"
The incident, under the circumstances
was very affecting.

THEOLOGY FOR CHILDREN

What shall we teach our children to
believe, in order that when they grow
up, they may find that later experience
shall not alter what they have learned
when they were young? We must teach
them that beyond and above what they
see or feel or touch. Goodness, kind
ness, modesty, courage, unsel6shness,
these are the best things in the world.
1t is true that goodness and courage
have no faces that We can kiss, have no
hands that we can clasp, yet they are
certainly there in the midst of our work
and our play and this goodness, which
except in outward acts, we cannot see,
is something which existed long before
we were born. 1t is from this that we
have all the pleasant things in this
world. The flowers, the sunshine, the
moonlight-all these were given to US
by some great kindness and goodness
which we have never seen at all; and
this goodness, which is everywhere, is
that great power out of which all things
come. And we call this great power by
the name of God and because God is
so much above US, and is so good to US,
we call Him also by the name which is
the most dear to US and the most above
US of all the names on earth-we call
Him our Father When the father Of
children goes away from home, still his
children know he is somewhere though
they cannot see him. And so it is with
the great unseen Father of us all. Lei
US, then teach our children that God il
goodness and love- Let US teach then
that the rules which He has laid dowr
for the government of this world are Hi
will and wish for us. Even the fros
and cold. even sickness and pain, ar,
for our good and we must trust tina
He has sent them to us for some goot
reason to make US strong and health,
and brave. Thus you will see in West
minister abby, on the monument of 81
John Franklin, who was so long shut u
in the ice, the words, 30 ye frost an,
cold, o ye ice and snow, bless ye tn
Lord and magnify His name forever.
This is one way of expressing our belle
in our Father in heaven; but this high
ness, goodness and kindness is like VIVA
we have seen aud heard of in the WORLD

PoLLED CAttle.-An experience Of
fifteen years breeding polled cattle has
taught me that horns are not only dan
gerous appendage, but too expensive. l
can keep an increase of twenty per cent.
of polled cows over cows with horns, same
in size, on the same pasture or fodder,
and the polled ones will keep in the best
condition. There is not single objection
to the polled cattle that will bear investi-
cation. The peace and quiet and comfort
to be enjoyed by the breeding and keeping
and caring for herd of cattle without
horns can be known only by experience.
A man that would beat sword into a
plowshare or spear into a pruning-hook
would with equal propriety knock the
horns off his herd.

WINESOMENESS VS.. BRUSQUE-
NESS,

Sincerity and candor are virtues that
are worth while cultivating, but there
is danger sometimes of our getting
wrong conception of their meaning, and
so coufounding them with brusqueness.
To be honest, frank and open, avoiding
any appearance of deceit, are attributes
of conscience in themselves most excel
lent, but we should not cultivate them
to such an extent that in our manner
we may become repulsive and disagree
able. Courtesy and politeness should
be shown at all times and under all cir
cumstances, and to be polite does not
require the slightest Infringement Of
truthfulness. A sweet, winesome, agree
able manner is more to be desired than
an abrupt, brusque one, and if not yours
by birthright, is well worth the acquir-
ing. Seek it, girls.
