A New Indian War.

Advices from Fort Keogh received at mill
tary headquarters in this city are that the
Crows, Flatheads and Pigeans are at war. But
the war is not yet very destructive, only one
Indian having been killed. It appears that
the northern Indians came down from the
Mussle Shell lately and stole lot of ponies
from near Junction City, at the mouth of the
Big Horn. The Crows accordingly declared
war against the northern Indians, and as soon
as the Yellowstone froze over, after the late
thaw, bands of their braves started out on the
war path. The Indian bureau is entitled to
the sympathy of the public.

questioned by his attorney, George L. Otis.

At the meeting Of the prison inspectors
when the bids were presented and opened, they
asked witness what business he proposed to
carry on, and he answered it would be manu-
featuring, but not the same as now, and
said he would expect the privilege
of using the machinery outside the prison
walls. Told them his bid of 5000
a year sent, meant for legitimate use
and argued that as the machinery was un-
doubtedly perishable the renting it for nine
years would be substantially purchase. But
this was informal talk and witness was told the
contract was not yet awarded

and inspectors explaining his position as to
the use of the machinery. Afterwards he re-
ceived the formal notice of acceptance of his
bid.

Representative Lapham, who counselled op.
position to any apportionment bill which
would disturb the relative strength Of the
two parties, particularly any basis ofIappor-
tionment by which the Republican States
north would be affected disadvantageouly.
He believed 319 to. be as low number as
should be adopted. Mr.. Briggs and Butter.
worth favored the proposition. Mr.. Haskell
strongly advocated S2S as the most satisfactory
number to the Western States, but was willing
to compromise on 319. A general discussion
ensued, Frye, Hawley and Robinson believed
S17 fair compromise, which might safely be
agreed to. The majority of the speakers
strongly opposed any number less than 319,
and resolution was finally offered by Haskell
that the Republicans refuse to vote for any ap.
portionment bill which fixes the number of
Representatives at lessthan 319. The resolution
was carried with few dissenting votes, and
the caucus adjourned.

Vampire Bats of Brazil.

Probably no part of Brazil is more af-
ficted than a portion of the province of
Bahia, with the scourge OF vampires.
Whole herds of cattle are sometimes de-
stroyed by this venomous bat. 1t was long
a matter of con jec ture how this animal ac-
complished this insidious and deadly work;
but scientific men have now decided that
the tongue, which is capable of considera-
BILE extension, is furnished at its extremity
with a number of papille, WHICH is so ar
ranged as to form an organ of suction, the
lips having also tubercles symmetrically
arranged. Fastening themselves upon
cattle, these dreadful animals can draw the
blood from their victims. The wound,
made probably from the small, needle-like
teeth, is fine, round hole, the bleeding
from which it is difficulttostop. 1t is said
that the wings of this deadly bat fly around
during the operation of wounding and
drawing blood, with great velocity, thus
tanning the victim and lulling while the
terrible work is IN progress. Some of
these creatures measure two feet between
the tips of their wings, and they are often
found in great ndmbers in deserted dwell
ings in the outskirts OF the city. The ne
groes and Indians especially dread them,
and there are numerous superstitons among
the natives in regard to them.
