THE ZUNI CHIEFS ASTONISHED.

WASHINGTON, April 8.-Mr. Gushing
and his company of Zuni Chiefs invited
as many of the citizens OF Washington
as could be seated in Wizards Hall to a
final reception this evening. The inter-
esting life story of the Zuni tribe, ex-
tending back into remote antiquity, was
told by Mr.. Gushing, after which the
Indians sang and danced. In conclusion
Mr.. Gushing told the audience something
of the opinions formed by the chiefs in
regard to Americans and their civiliza-
ton. The usual formal speech of the
principal chief was translated, when Mr..
Gushing said he >could never persuade
the Zunis to talk to their audiences as
they did among themselves, and he gave
the following examples:
sWhen / brought them to the railroad,
they understanding that it was to be the
means whereby they were to come east
ward, did not finch IN the least as the
locomotive passed them, although three
of their number had never seen the rail-
road. They entered the cars, sat down
and Immediately got up again, every one
taking my hand and breathing on it, and
again sat down and began to pray. The
substance of their prayers was that moth
ing should come between them and the
Americans; for the people who could
make such a powerful horae of iron could
annihilate their little nation. After we
had travelled eastward three or four days
took one of them aboard the locomotive.
He said that he wished me to wait. He
had seen enough to impress him with the
grandeur of the Americans, and asked
me at the same time: Pray, boy, pray
When he had finished his prayer he re-
marked "These Americans are gods,
only they have to eat material food
"When 1 took them through the wire
works at Worcester, where half mile of
wire is drawn from steel bar, they
watched the process, compared the bright
wire to one of the lightning gods of their
mythology, and then as I took them
through the warerooms they said: Here
is enough wire to spin the web of the
great grandfather spider who connected
the land of everlasting summer with the
land of everlasting snow or in other
words stretched his web from one end of
the world to the other. When I took
them up on the tower in Boston they
said: This is the country of houses.
Wonderful! wonderful wonderful Mans
words cannot count them, and if all the
Nations of the world joined together, who
can say the last word-the Americans2
nobody! When l took them into the pub
lie institutions of Boston aud showed
them our school system they said: How
these Americans do love their children,
to build great houses in which simply to
teach them the marks that mean words
When / brought them from Boston to
New York ard took them aboard that
beautiful steamer, the City of Worcester,
they said: AT last no longer are the
Americans like the gods, but they are
gods and we have been mistaken in say
ing they are like gods. VIII not the
gods get jealous of these Americans if
they keep on2

TOSSED BY A BUFFALO.

Usually buffalo hunting is easy. and
the only personal risk is that your gall
Ioping horse may stick his foot into a
gopher hole and pitch you head foremost
to the ground. But sometimes the hunt
er meets with an exciting adventure, such
as this one, described in the Denver
Tribune:
There was no time to be lost, as / was
not more than twenty yards from him.
So refining in with jerk and turning my
horse broadside on, raised my gun, in
tending to hit the buffalo just between
his neck and shoulder.
Could | have done so, it would have
| knocked him down, or, at any rate, made
him swerve. But my horse, instead of
standing steady, as he had always done
before. commenced walking forward,
though he did not appear to take any
notice of the buffalo.
There was no time to put my hand
down and give another wrench tn the
bride which 1 had let fall on the horse S
neck J. and l could not get a sight with
the horse IN motion.
A charging buffalo does not take many
seconds to cover forty yards, and in an
other instant his outstretched nose was
within six feet of me.
Lowering the gun from my shoulder,
pulled it off in his face, at the same
time digging the spurs into my horse 3
sides.
But it was too late, for as he sprang
forward the old bull caught him full in
the flank, pitching him, with me on his
back, into the air like dog.
The recoil of the heavily charged ele.
plant gun with which I was unluckiiy
shooting, twisted it clean out of my
hands, so that we ell, horse, gun and
man, fell in different directions. My
horse regained lis feet and galloped a.
way Immediately.
The buffalo, on tossing the horse, had
stopped, and now stood with his head
lowered within few feet of me. I had
fallen 10 sitting position and facing my
unpleasant looking adversary.

had not much time for speculation,
as the brute, after glaring at me few
seconds with his sinister looking blood
shot eyes, finally made up his mind and
with grunt, rushed at me.
threw my body out fiat on the
ground, and just avoided the upward
thrust of his horn, receiving, however, a
severe blow on the left shoulder, nearly
dislocating my right arm; also a kick on
the ipstep from one of his feet.
Luckily for me he did not turn again,
as he most certainly would have done
had he been wounded, but galloped
away.
The first thing to be done was to look
after my horse, and at about one humid
red and fifty yards from where he had
been tossed I found him. The buffalo
had struck him, making an awful wound,
and as the poor beast was evidently in
the last extremity, I hastily loaded my
gun and put him out of his misery.
There I was, left alone with only my
gun for company, and the nob-backed
buffalo cantering away toword the hori-

A QUEER case is reported in the Hospi-
tai Gazette OF Paris. A doctor was call
ed to see a patient dying from cholera.
In order not to discourage the man, the
doctor prescribed three doses OF ipecac
powder, to be given every half hour.
The nurse misunderstood the directions
and instead Of giving the drug by the
mouth gave it to snnff; this produced a
violent sneezing, which was followed by
favorable reaction. The circulation
was quickened, the skin was warmed. and
the patient was on the way to recovery.
When the doctor called the next day he
was amazed to find how he had taken his
medicine, and thai he was ont of danger.

Mr.. PARNELL took the early train for
Doyer this (Tuesday) morning in order
to avoid the demonstration which would
have been made had he taken his depart
IRE on the Continental train from Char
ing Cross in the evening. Corversing in
private with a friend he said he had little
to complain of in regard to bis prison
treatment. He hoped the other suspects
were as well cared fer, and said he had
reason to doubt that they were. His i'm
prisoned followers regarded the recent
outrages with the greatest Indignation.
Mr.. Paruell expressed belief that the
state of things in ireland wonld improve
if the government would introduce bill
to relieve poor tenants of arrears of rent
and amended The clauses of the Land act
regarding purchase SO as practically to
assist tenants TO become owners of their
farms-a result which he thought would
go q long way to restore peace and order.

THE LION AND LADY, Mrs. Lincoln,
who raised and petted pair OF lion cubs
in Boston few years ago, on Thursday
paid q visit to one of them, the lion EN-
peror. The huge beast recognized her
and manifested bis delight by the most
extravaganza demonstrations. He licked
her hand, sprang mp aud, placing his
paws on the grating, tried tn force his
head between the bars. Mrs. Lincoln
laid her face against the vast Jaws and
put her arms through the bars around
his neck, and the monstrous animal pur-
red like great cat. He put out his paw
to sshake hands at his mistress's com
mand, and then, as if overcome with joy,
laid down and rolled over and over. ut
tering meanwhile queer little grunts and
growls and behaving altogether like a
frisky kitten.

things on the delegateship, to-day has
the following:
"No fifth.rate, potha ~ dishonest

might secure q nomination but they
cannot be elected. The votes of north

the southern Idaho voter must have a

honest, upright democratic candidate,
rather than further the chances of the

sound this note of warning to the re-
