The metropolitan archbishop of Moscow
thinks the Car Of Russia makes great
mistake in secluding himself. and advises
him to come out from his hiding place and
let the people see him. The Gar does
not take kindly to this sort of advice. He
regards it as inviting him to walk right
into the meshes f,he Nihilists.a and appar-
emily feels resentful towards the arch
bishop, inasmuch as he made inquiries rs
to his power to deprive the latter of his
ecclesiastic position and power. The
Gar lives, as il were, in state of siege,
and has SO lived since the assassination Of
his father. A ruler in whose person is
vested all the power of government, he
enjoys less liberty than his poorest subject.
He seems TO have become apathetic. as
there are no outward signs on his part of
any efforts to alleviate the condition Of
himself or his country. The archbishop.
perhaps. hoped to awaken the Car TO a
realization of the fact that he owes some-
thing to the country and the people over
which he is autocratic ruler. When the
present Car ascended the throne he was
credited by many with liberal, progress
sive spirit. in keeping with the present
age. but unfortunately he has not mani

Quartermas,er General Meigs of the
army, who is nothing if not practical in
his ideas. suggests the use of the bow and
arrow as a life-saving adjunct of fire ap-
paratus. The bow. he says, instead of
being simply toy, may be made very
useful. From modern bow weighing
thirty pounds he has shot an arrow over
the Washington monument when its top
was $50 feet above its base, and high
above the old derrick masts which so long
rose from its summit. With 50-pound
bow, he declares, an arrow might be shot
into the highest window or over the
highest roof in New York City,
and carry with it light. strong fish
ing line or cord, by which a
knotted rope Of sufficie mt strength to bear
the weight of two or three persons could
be hauled up. Such a rope, Gen. Meigs
thinks, is far better fire escape than a
rope ladder. which is most troublesome
thing to manage Experience shows us
also, he says. that the owners and occu-
pants of business buildings will not toler-
ate long, even if on some public excite
ment they provide. rope or rope ladder
to every upper room; but it is a simple
matter for the fire department to place on
every hose carriage or truck coil of
fishing line and hickory or lancewood
bow weighing fifty pounds, half dozen
blunt arrows and knotted rope

Traders Stories VS.. Soldiers Facts.
ST Danl Dinpoor proer


There have been many reports on the
dangerous character of the Sisseton and
Wahpeton Sioux, who, it has been claim
ed, are liable to an outbreak any time.
This has been regarded rs false, by many
who are we'll acquainted with the Indians
and some scheme has been noticed in
reports by which money was to be made
by the interested parties who have spread
the reports. The ideas of the friends of
the Indians is confirmed most decidedly
by Lieut.. George H. Roach, who was
last night interviewed. Lieut.. Roach
leaves to-day for Sisseton. He says that
the Wahpeton and Sisseton tribes are
not making any disturbance, nor have
they been, all the reports to the contrary
Notwithstanding. The Indians are peac-
able and quiet, apd no fear OF an out
break need be felt. The stories IN regard
to the trouble have been made by inter-
ested traders, who wish to have troops
at there post, as there is considerable
money made on the whisky sold to sold
iers when stationed in the vicinity of a
reservation. The Indians are at present
engaged in harvesting their crops, having
been very successful in agriculture, and
seeing the good results of labor, have
gone hard to work. They have also man
ifested considerable interest in educa.
tional matters, and are anxious to learn
from the books of the white man and
receive what good they can. These in
terests the Indians regard as purely sci.
fish aud say they IRE desirous of growing
rich and learned tor the sake of their
children.

Tue creditors of Yankton county hit
upon what they hattered themselves
would be q successful scheme to "get SER
vice" of the Judicial mandate on Yankton
county. County commissioners were to
be chosen Sept. 8. The creditors hired
some expert detectives to watch the pro.
ceedings, and as soon as the commission
ers qualified to bring in the marshal
with the courts mandate. The detect.
ives were vigilant, watchful, secret,
ubiquitous, omnipresent. and the first
thing they found out was that the COM
missioners had secretly met, levied tax
for ordinary county purposes, and de-
posted their designations, in accordance
with their territorial act of Feb. II, 1881,
oil within the space Of fifteen minutes
from the moment Of their appointment!
When they learned this the watchful
officers quietly made up their minds that
the skill OF Virginia readjuste,s in the
fine art OF "doing" public creditors is not
equal to the skill OF Yankton comfy
commissioners and Dakota Legislators in
that delicate art.

New York. Sept. 14.-Mr. Tilden has
been attacked by disease from which
his physicians say he cannot possibly re.
cover. He may linger while, but his
early death is certainty. The present
trouble is disorder of the nerves, and in
plain fact an incident in the progress of
softening OF tue brain. A consultation
of physicians has been held, and the
horelessness of the case ls now under.
stood alike by the medical men and the
patient. Mr.. Tilden was sometime ago
made aware Of the danger he was in, and
the erection and decoration of his mag.
nifcent new house in New York city,
were meant by him for diversion to
keep his mind from more cngrossing SUBJ
jects. A gentleman IN intimate relation
ship to Mr.. Tilden says that in conse.
quence of the development of this neces-
sarily fatal malady, he has resignedly
laid down his life work and put himself
in waiting for death. As yet his mind is
clear, but lie has scarcely any control Of
his nerves, and the physicians say that
the brain, already seriously affected, will
speedily degenerate. He may live sev.
ernl months aud he may die within q
week.
