Children Carried OTby Wolves.

A correspondent writes to the Indian
Pioneer :. "The wolves are carrying
off children at a terrible rate. A poor
little child was taken away and eaten
(only the lower part Of one leg being
found) from the lines of the Twenty
seventh Punjaub infantry a short time
ago. Another child was carried off
and eaten (only the head being found)
from the door of the house of poor,
old, half-blind coolie. Last night an
ayah's child was carried off from inside
a walled inclosure in an officers COM
pound, the wolf jumping over two
children and taking third lying close
to its mother, who, poor creature, ran
shrieking after it. The children are
apparently always seized by the throat,
SO their cries are not heard"

unfit to breathe. City people,
as q rule, are far more careful in
their physical habits than country
people, but no attention to minor
details can compensate for lack of
exercise, pure air and the vigorous
appetite that insures sufficient physi-
cal repair. City people may display
roster faces and brighter eyes than
their country cousins, but consump-
tives, at certain stage Of theirmalady,
can outdo either. The test of health
is endurance, and, judged by this,
either mental or physical, the city
man is the inferior Of the countryman.
The rage for athletic sports among
city youth is good as far as it goes, but
it dses not 60 far enough; Of the
members of boat clubs, ball clubs and
similar organizations about one in ten

think it sufficient sport to thrust their
hands into their pockets and look on.
There are plenty of ways of overcom.

Of city life, but the fact that few
people avail themselves of them shows
that the city man does not ever know

SITTING BULL AND HIS FAMIL-

Story Told by n Government
Scout 10 DR.. j. G. Merrill,

American Antiquarian

American Antiquarian
Bad spirits are sometimes sent back
to earth in the shape of animals to
undergo penance for their sins; they
are believed to be in the wolf and
the bear, although some Indians say
they have talked to their friends in
the shape OF buffalo, others in a
deer, and in general if bad woman
dies she turns into deer or owl. In
British America / saw an Indian con-
versing with some one on a hill-that
is, | saw the Indian making motions
With his hands and now and then
bowling like wolf. | went to him
and saw him talking 10 a large wolf,
and apparently the wolf understood
what he said, for whenever be would
make the sign for DO you under
stand?" the wolf would throw up his
head and howl. After both had thus
conversed for a half hour, the wolf
threw up bis head, gave a few bowls,
and trotted of. Judge of my surprise
when found it was Sitting Bull, with
whom | was living at the time. He
told me he was making medicine to
find where the main herd Of buffalo
we're, and whether it would rain or
snow before the hunters got back; he
said the wolf was the spirit OF a great
hunter, and always gave him warning
when there was any danger close at
hand. This time it was told him the
buffalo were all on the Long Knives
soil, and he must 90 to them aud get
some meat for his children to eat; that
it would snow very deep before be
could get back (Which it really did,,
and the camp would be without meat
Two days. another thing he prophesied
true. Sitting Bull also said: "The
night before Long Hair General Gus
ter) attacked me / was warned by this
same volt. knew should be victO
rious, and knew who was goingto be
killed, and | made preparations; aud
if any Long Knives (Americans) come
here to attack me, my brother, the
wolf, will warn me.

shelby Republicans.

COvinEton Call, ~
The Republicans Of Shelby. in the
adoption Of the platform Of principles
TO guide them in the coming State
canvass have acted in way that Is
gratifying to the conservative voters
OF all parties in the State. 1t shows a
spirit OF resistance 10 a slavish rule OF
party bosses which is Worge than tho
legalized bondage from which the col
ored people escaped at the close Of the
interstate war. The men who pro-
pose TO fasten the State debt upon the
laboring people will, if successful, re-
viye slavery in enother form which
will consume the fruits Of their labor,
and make them as hewers Of wood and
drawers OF water for generations TO
come. We believe the masses Of the
colored people will not submit longer
TO the dictation Of a few men 10 their
party, but will take a position along
with the white people, and settle this
overshadowing debt question in an
equitable and just manner. They
know that they must pay their pro.
portion VI the taxes, and we believe
that had IL not been for the national
contest, Governor Hawkins would now
be chewing the cud Of sweet and bitter
fancy instead Of scbemiBg in the in
teregt Of railroads that owe the debt,
and Issuing calls for extra sessions Of
the Legislature.

THE IMMORTAL.
The Philosopher Jumps Hunt
ingtOn and Leaves His Idea
Stationary.

The philosopher J. N. has left an
unfavorsble impression in Hunting
ton IS will be seen from the following
from the Republican:
An old crank with long hair and a
wild eye, calling himself the immortal
j. N, who proposed to remove the
prejudices Of the late war, and who
has sacrificed bis very name until his
mission could be accomplished, called
on us Monday OF last week and bull
dozed US into advertising him for a
lecture at the courthouse Friday
night, where he was to lift the veil re-
move the pressure, and reason all pref
udice away" After making satifac-
tory arrangements here the old dead
beat" moved on, making other ap-
pointments. On his return to this
place be informed US that he had
sealed Atlanta for the 18th and left
the idea jumping" When tie hour
arrived for j. N. to ill his appoint
ment here the citizens seemed indif-
ferent, and the philosopher withheld
his views. After awhile J. N. grew
boisterous and his conduct had now
developed the philosopher into a con-
spicuous nuisance, and from the move
ments of some OF our citizens the
immortal philosopher apparently con
ceivsd the idea that a committee was
about to wait upon him and read per-
emptory resolutions regarding his
departure; so j. n. put his muscles of
locomotion in operation and steered
eastward. and when we last heard Of
]. n. 1.-THE idea" was stationary and
the philosopher himself was jumping.

Dangerous Glasses AT the West.
New York Hsrald.l
Reports of the scenes around the
remains OF the outlaw Jesse James
throw bright but unpleasant light
upon some sections Of Western society.
At least one noted desperate, with a
select party of friends, dropped in to
view the remains, and nobody molested
him, although the Sheriff who effected
the outlaws death was present with
his deputies. The remains were
carried to the bedside of the outlaws
brother, who was lying at the poil t
of death, but who, nevertheless, was
able to indulge in some touching re-
marks. The sheriff who had been
chasing the redoubtable Jesse had an
informal chat with the dead man s
mother, and although the old lady
used some hard language public sym
patty seemed about equally divided
between her and the sheriff. Among
the six pallbearers we're at least three
who had taken part in the work
Of hunting the outlaw down, and
the burial service began with the
hymn what a friend we have
in Jesusl" Mr.. James children,
like good little children everywhere
else, say their prayers every night,
and among other petitions they always
put up one that their Uncle Frank,
who is no SLOUGH in the outlaw bust
ness, may be saved from the officers of
the law. AS every one above men,
toned was in most serious earnest,
the question naturally arises as to how
much security there is for life and
property in a country where a, dead
rufian is held in higher regard than
any living man in the neighborhood
could hope for.
