The past few weeks in Dodge have been one
dormant-s lying in. pending grand voy-
age, or calm before the storm. 1t is the
era Of balls-the dress ball, the mack ball,
and the high ball. In suspended business
animation the dancing amusement holds. A
proper cultivation OF the heels il an excel
lent thing-it saves the wear and tear OF the
brain and affords innocent recreation. There
are two and three balls every week and high
bal every night. The high ball vo,ary is
not dancer. 1t is we'll to remark that the
high ball is a poker game. balls numbered
instead Of cards determining the game. This
game has become fashionable. and every
we'll regulated establishment has high ball
attachment. High hall yanks the bun-it
catches the unwary.

Eqyptian Matters.

Cairo, Oct. 2l.-It is believed the
following will complete the chief counts
of indictments against Arab Pasha:
First, That in violation of the rights
of nations he hoisted a white flag in
Alexandria, and, under cover thereof,
retired with his troops and gave up the
city to fire and pillage.
Second, That he excited the Egyp-
tians to arms against the khedive.
Third, That he continued the wal in
despite of the news of peace.
Fourth, With having melted civil
war, devastation and pillage in Egyptian
territory.
Cairo, Oct. 21.-The state of the
natives is most unsatisfactory, as their
superstitious fear overlies among them
their deep hatred of Christians.
Geneva, Oct. 21.-Naret, Arab Pa.
sha's European adviser, declares that
he received no rewards for his services,
and he a prove that the evacuation
of Alexandria and the defense of the
country were ordered by the ministry
and sanctioned by the khedive.

Washington, Oct. 2I.-Commissioner
Price, of the Indian Bureau, has trans
mitted to the secretary of the interior
his reports for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1882.
The Commissioner says: Land has
been opened for cultivation, houses for
Indian residences built, schools opened
and operated, and in many cases and
in various ways the cause of civiliza-
ton has been generally advanced.
The commissioner says il 81 ,00o, 900
for educational purposes we're given
now it will save several millions in the
future. 1t is wise economy to give
s. 1000, 900 at once, and not dole it out
IN small sums that do but little good.
The evils of cash annuities are COM
mented upon, and an instance given

Utes, 8 1000 were spent for firearms,
ammunition and whisky in Salt Lake

gress for the support of the Indians
proved entirely insufficient, mainly
owing to the high price of beef and
flour. The total number of Indians i'll
the United States, exclusive of Alaska,
is G2,366.
The commissioner comments in Sc
we're terms on the iniquity of liquor
traffic among the Indians, and quotes
many instances of trouble arising from
it. He recommends greater stringency
in the laws on the subject.
Exclusive of tine five civilized tribes
the whole number of Indian pupils at

fires, extending from Finland to the

and to include within its circumference
the town of Gatschina, where the en-
peror now is. The fires are in woods
under which are turf pits, and they may
last tor a long time. They are attrib-
uted to Nihilists.

Chicago, Oct. 2l.-In the Scoville
insanity case, Fanny Scoville-H Harper,
the daughter, this morning testified
that she intercepted a note from George
w. Earle to Mrs. Scoville, the contents
OF which were very improper, and had
seen her mother kiss three men whom
she had no right to kiss, and had heard
Of many others that she had kissed.
She declined to give any nam es.
DIR. A. McFarlane, of jacksonville,
ILL.,. who was %subpGne1 but did not
testify in the Guiteau murder trial, and
who has been for 26 years in the hospl-
Illinois, said that ID years ago Luther
W. Guiteau brought to him an insane
sister for treatment. From Guiteau's
talk, which was very peculiar, he set
him down as a crazy man. The i'm
preston w4s very strong on the witness
and he readily saw how Luther's son
could get into the state of mind neces-
sary to kill President Garfield. He met
Mrs. Scoville in Washington last winter
and had a fierce controversy with John
w. Gulteau about the witness testi-
mouy. John declared that nobody
should testify that his father was in
sane. Mrs. Scoville said he should tes-
Jify, and said all the family were pre-,
disposed to insanity. He believed Mrs.
Scoville's ~fainting and epilepsy were
sure to produce insanity, her being a
chaste and loving wife until recently,
and her sudden change was evidence to
him. He held, In short, that the whole
family, including John W., were OF
unsound mind and insane.
