Our Washington correspondent makes some
interesting suggestions concerning the inter-
pretation which the United States Government
would be likely to put upon the phrase
"poliuca offence in case England demands
the eNtradition of Sheridan and Walsh. Inc
argument is based upon the attitude winch the
President and the Senate assumed last lall III
NEGOTIATING treaty with Belgium. In
one of the clauses of this agreement 1t -
declared that an attempt against the lie OF
the head of a foreign Government or any m"ih-
Der of his family shall not be regarded as
political offence If the surrender of Walsh
and Sheridan should be asked by the british
Government and their defence should be tha
the murder of Burke and Cavendlsh was a
political crime the United States, OF course
would have to be governed by the Ashbulon
Treaty entirely. But this latest declaration OF
the Governments position in the Belgian Con-
vention gives a hint as TO how the more OBJ
scue points of the AshburtOn Treaty might be
interpreted.

rare blood dressed with gay collar and
ribbons. Just alter them came a negro
girl, lust such Il one as may be met half
a dozen times on any block i'll South
ern city, bearing in her arms child
about eighteen months Of age: The
little fellow was yelling with all the
strength of lusty pair Of lungs, and the
nurse, though kind and patient, failed
to soothe him with caresses and soft
words. Gen. Butler took him, and the
youngster screamed louder and kicked
more vigorously. The general triedto
tell him baby tales. He iondled him,
handled him on his knee, and sung the
entire libretto of Mother Goose, from
'Hi, Diddle Diddle," to "Ride Cock
Horse to Banbury Cross and still the
youngster yelled, and would not be COM
forted. Finally, clasping him closely, the
general with great good humor said:
"Young man, l have coaxed you and
sang to you in vain; now you will have
to kick and yell it out" The screams OF
the little fellow became less piercing,
his kicks subdued in vigor, and finally
he sobbed himself to sleep. His sorrow
had been washed away in transient tears.
Upon inquiri1g we learned that the
child was that of Mrs. Ames, the daugh-
ter of Gen. Butler, and had been that
night parted from his mother for the
first time. The patience kindness and
good humor displayed by Gen. Butler
made us think better OF him.

condition that in April only about 500
were alive out of 5000. Pagett then
shifted his outfit to a range near Benton,
and has lately come into notice by hav-
ing large amount of money up on horse
racer at Miles City, and running one of
his thoroughbred animals in the scrub
races. When Pagett first came to Mon
tana, like all adventurist Englishmen, he
become greatly excited over the sport Of
hunting the wild Bison Soon after his
outfit had established their winter camp,
on Tongue river, herd of these noble
animals was sighted, and Pagett at once
mounted a cow pony and started in pur-
suit. After riding abont ten miles he
came up to the band and at once dis
mounted and fred. The only visible
effect his firing had was to scare his pony
which started on a run for camp, leaving
"My Lud" to foot it back. The next day
he determined to take swifter animal
and when the buffalo came in sight, had
one Of his thorough-breds saddled. He
soon overlook the band, and taking aim
fired, the ball passing through the horses
neck and killing him instantly. Not at
all disconseitcd he went out on foot next
day and at the first shot killed an old
bull. The animal was skinned and its
imnenso hood waa cnt off entire tn he
stuffed and sent back to England as
trophy of the chase. 1t was hung in the
cabin directly above Pagett's bed and
during the night fell down, almost kill
ing the nobleman, who for several weeks
was confined to his bed, 1t is very evil
dent that his lordship has not made
much money in Montana, but has had a
sufficient amount of adventure, to ap-
pease the appetite of an adventure-loving
Englishman.

A Lot Of Sioux Jokers.

It has often been remarked by those
families with the Indian characteristics
that the Sioux possesses keener sense
of humor and a greater degree Ofimpu-
dence than any other of his race. An
incident which took place during the re-
cent visit of an army officer at Camp
Poplar river certainly goes far to sustain
the assertion. 1t appears that the In
dians at the agency at Camp Poplar
creek have become dissatisfied with
Major Snyder, who has recently assum-
ed charge as the successor of Mr. Porter.
Whatever the reason whether Mr.. Lo
was more carefully watched and was UNI
able to leave the reservation to run off
the stock of the settlers or steal the
ponies of his hereditary enemies the
Crows, or whether the rations did not
agree with him, at any rate, there was
tsouble in the teepee and change of ad
ministration was demanded. But how
to do this with the soldiers near at hand
was the problem. A council was held
and delegation was sent to interview,
Capt. Read, in command of the troops at
Camp Poplar river. On their arrival,
after the usual formalities, the spokes-
man of the delegation asked Capt. Read
what he would do in case the Indians
should kill the agent and burn the build
ings at the agency. There was so much
of grim humor in the question and at
the same time so much dead earnestness
in the manner and look of whole dele
cation that the captain was Tor mo-
men. somewhat taken aback, but for a
moment only. He quickly recovered,
and told them in plain language that he
would at once order out his troops and
kill every mothers son of them if they
attempted such an outrage. He also ad-
vised them to return at once to the
agency and to behave themselves. 1t is
needless to say the Indians departed.
It is also reported by the friends of the
visiting officer that he concluded his
business and came eastward, where such
ghastly jokes as burning house and
scalping its occupants are seldom OF
never perpetrated.

Another foreign opera singer hasland-
ed in New York. Her name is Nine.
Sembrich, and she comes to sing in the
company organized by the erratic Mr..
Abbey. 1t seems entirely needless to
remark that before Nine. Sembrich had
been in this country fifteen minutes she
was in state of ecstatic and rapturous
delight over America and Americans,
and had developed a deathless affection
for everything within her sight. They
always have these affections of the heart
when they come here-these susceptible
opera singers. They come into the har-
Dor on steamer, and when all they can
see Of America is the Battery and some
of the wharves,they declare to the repor-
tiers who come down in tugs to meet
them that they are delighted with the
country. They land from the steamer
and become enraptured, probably at the
sight of the customs officers, and the
piles of lumber and the smell Of decaycd
fish. Then they 60 up to hotel, where
they have the prospect of blank brick
wall and the magnificent expanse ofa
twelve by fourteen court, full of slops
and uncleanness, and are Immediately
thrown into such state of frenzied ad-
miration that it is positively dangerous
for any reporter without the unmistak.
able dialect of County Mayo, or the odor
of pretzels and stale beer, to approach
them. "America is dear, delightful
country, and its people are the most gen-
erous and warm-hearted in the world.
The ladies"-they have seen the cham
berrnaid and two colored laundresses-
"are the sweetest and lovliest I ever saw
in my life. And New Yolk"-and the
sweet children of song pass into spasms
of ineffable admiration. 1t is, of course,
exceedingly gratifying to have America
and its numerous beauties appreciated
by these sweet, tender-hearted things
who come over here to sing for pure love
of the land and 81 800 a night and ex.
penses; but the intensity of the wild, in
satible, unquen chable passion which
they are now manifesting for Americs
may we'll cause some apprehensions
| After q while affairs will arrive at sucl
a pass that foreign opera singers will
have to be manacled and kept under
guard during their stay here to preyen
eloping, in the mad frenzy of love, with
the whole country.

HOW CABLE MESSAGES AXE RE-.
CEsxED.

A recent visitor to Hearts Content
describes as follows the method of re-
ceiving messages at that point:
The recorder is horseshoe magnet,
electrified by the usual circles OF fine
wire, and attracting a small metallic
coil. The coil is hung between the
magnetic poles, and by a light lever
and thread almost as fine as the 8 and
of a cobweb is connected with delicate
siphon hung in little reservoir OF ink.
The ink is electrified. so as to produce
arepulsion of the PARTICLES, making it
fiow more readily through the siphon,
which outside is about the size of
darning needle, and the interior tube
scarcely larger than hair. The lower
end OF the siphon rests against paper
tape playing perpendicularly through
rollers. The whole machine Is almost
of gossamer fineness and fexibility, 50
as to minimise the electric strain neces-
sary for working the cable. Let US
imagine now that coming message has
been signaled from far across the
ocean at Valsntia. The operator at
first opens the simple machinery that
works the brass rollers. On the
center OF the tape, as 1T passes
between the rollers, the siphon at
first marks only a straight line. Sud
denly the line swerves To the right or
left. The message has started, aud the
end of the siphon has begun its record
Worked by two keys. aud positively
or negatively electrified, the coil swings
the siphon point now to one side, now
TO the other, along the tape. Respon'
sive to the trained hand Of the OPERATOR
the filament OF ink marks out one notch,
two uotches, three notches; then sud
denly it may be high elevation or
depression, until the delicate line traced
on the tape looks like the tiny outline
of a mountain range. But it is range
whose every hilltop, peak aud valley
means an alphabetical symbol to the
.tslegraphers eye. The recorder is the
invention of the famous electrician, Sir
William Thompson. How delicate an
interpreter it is may be inferred from
the fact that ten jars work 800 miles
of cable between Valentia and Hearts
Content, while twenty-five jars OF the
same electric power would be needed
to work $50 miles of land wire; or in
other words, the recorder is more than
twelve times as efficient for it's purposes
rs the ordinary Morse instrument.
The recorder traces its characters on
the tape about as fast as . slow pen
man copies a letter. Besides its deli
cacy of work, the recorder, as its name
imports, has the merit OF leaving the
record of the message. Il Scientific
