CANT STAGER, on Torrys' Lake, Wyo.,
August l2-Nia Fit. Washakie.-It was
determined last night to move our camp
this morning n few miles, TO where there
would be more abundant grazing for the
horses and mules, Accordingly, at $3.50
a. M, every one was in the saddle and
started up the valley on the right bank
of Wind river. Owing to the rain yes
tcrday the trail was in splendid condition
for comfort and marching. The sun was
obscured by clouds, with the temperature
below 50' Fahrenheit all day. At the
end of IN hours travel over hill 8 and
rolling land the Wind river was reached
at a point where it passes through COR
geous masses of rocks, known as Red
Buttes. The first crossing was made by
fording IN a diagonal direction up the
stream where the water was so rapid in
its flow that ones neighbor seemed to be
moving up the river with the speed of q
running horse. Soon, by a short ford, the
river was recrosseda and nj the end ofanother
mile the western boundary of the Sho-
shone reservation was reached. From
this point our travel was a very. Interest,"
ing but not so difficult journey, over a
series of lofty divides to escape the pre-
cipitous banks and small streams flowing
from the mountains into the river. In
descending one of these it was necessary
to dismount and lead the horses. On the
highest divide we halted to take in the
view, covering scores of miles up and
down the river with the snow covered
peaks of the Shoshone mountains in
front of us and those of the Wind River
mountains at our backs. Here we took
II last look at the great land mark,
Crow Heart butte, thirty miles away,
which had been in view since leaving
Fort Washable. "Wallowing Buffalo,"
one of III Arapahoe guides, tells us that
1T got its name after u great battle be-
tween the Shoshones and Crows and was
celebrated by burning the hearts of dead
Crows on the summit of the butte.
After n ride of twelve miles we reached
the banks of some beautiful lakes which
are called after Capt. Torrys, formerly an
officer of the army, but now owning
large cattle herds on the range neal by.
The lakes are said to abound in large
trout, and we expect to spend tomorrow
fishing. Game is not very abundant in
this neighborhood, but our hunters
brought in two antelope yesterday, and a
few mountain grouse were killed on this
march to-day. Shoshone Dick, a white
member of the tribe, who was captured
probably from an emigrant train when so
young as to have lost all recollection of
the event, is one of our Indian party. He
has gone off to look for signs of game and
we hope for a good report from him. Our
cam, is named Scamp Stager," in honor
of General Arson Stager, of Chicago.

II IMPORTANT EVENTS OF LAST WEEK.
New York, August l2.-Thefollowinp
is theSun's London cable letter:
A bitter opposition is continued against
the measure providing that native tribu-
nails i'll India may try European offend
ers. Mr.. Bright addressed a large meet
ing during the week in favor of the meas
ure, and was followed bya native Hindoo
lawyer, who spoke with much ~eloquence,
and in such perfect and musical English
as to amaze and delight his hear
ers. There is u cloud gathering
in India, and uneasy murmurs denote q
growing dissatisfaction and unrest. The
attitude of the resident English toward
the Ripon llbart measures, tEeir arrogant
hostility against the social advancement
Of refined and highly educated Indians,
the late arbitrary and tyrannous impris-
onment Of a native editor, for q harmless
and unintentional libel, and the abrupt
and unexplained refusal of redress by the
higher tribunal at home, all tend to pro-
woke II dangerous feeling.
The Indian pension list alone amounts
to owe thirty millions dollars yearly, and
the drain of taxation is already so bur-
densome as to be of itself almost unbear-
able A population, on the other hand,

ciples, growing enormously, is beginning
to think for itself on English principles,

ter upon the subject in which he says;
"Under the law it will be necessary to
determine specifically what is meant by a
gambling device. A gambling device
prohibited by this law is any machine,
instrument, article OIL thing upon which
money or othor valuable articles may be
risked upon mere fortune or chance,
such as cards, dice, wheels,
and checks. 1t is intended not to pro-
hibit games where success depends upon
skill, experience, practice Or accuracy of
the person who plays, such as imple-
ments upon which to exhibit skill i'll
pitching rings or quoits, shooting targets,
guns, rolling balls and test of speed in
horses, but even upon these devices bet
ting should not be permitted, but pre-
miums for speed in horses or for the
most skillful or accurate person only may
be allowed without violating the spirit of
the law. The general statutes make the
officers of the fairs liable to
severe penalties for permitting
gambling upon the grounds. These
laws apply to officers of fairs and fair
grounds the same as any other premises
and officers allowing it, who may be in
dicted and punished rs other persons,
and any person losing money within the
fair grounds upon any game permitted
by the fair officers may obtain judgment
for his losses and sell the fair grounds

Cost of the Channel Tunnel.

The probable cost of n Channel tun-
mel has always been a very obscure
question, and Sir Edward Watkin has
hitherto been very silent about it, Yes
terday he felt himself in a position to
give some figures on this particularly
important point. He is making tun-
mel, somewhere or other, through one OF
the hardest stratified rocks he knew.
This cost E38 yard, and that means
roughly EOS, 900 q mile The channel
tunnel would be about twenty -four
miles Instead of taking the cost at
Eos, 900 a mile, let them assume that il
would be E100, 900 mile, and that
would represent a cost of II 400, 900 for
the tunnel under the sea. That is his
estimate of the cost of the actual tun-
nell Next. he believed the estimate OF
E350. 600 for the tunnel to connect the
Chatham and Dover and the Southeast
ern railways would not be exceeded.
The entire cost of the work, therefore,
came to only $4,000, 900. With an or
iginal outlay of this modest kind Sir
Edward was no doubt justified in de-
scribing the project as likely to be one
of the most profitable ever undertaken
if profitableness were the only thing
to be considered. But then, in this
modest estimate nothing is included for
the cost of Notifications at the English
end of the tunnel, every penny of which
should fall upon those who have made
them necessary. Pal MaH Gazette

The Use and Abuse of Bathing.

Dr. Dudley A. Sargent, medical di-
rector of the Union gymnasium, gave
the fourth in his talks on physical train
ing at the Union ball last week, taking
for his subject. Bathing; Its Uses and
Abuses" He gave general rules for
bathing as follows: "A warm bath with
liberal use of CASTLE soap, is best for
cleanliness. and night the best time.
Twice week is often enough Too fire.
quent warm baths debilitatc the system.
A cool sponge or wet cloth bath should
be taken daily for its tonic effect and al
ways in Il warm room. If strong and
vigorous, the best time is i'm the morning;
ii not strong, the cold bath had better
be omitted, and the tepid substituted.
After exercise, it greatly fatigued, take
no bath, but rub down vigorously with
a dry towel Ii thoroughly warmed up,
but not tired. take n tepil sponge bath
standing, Never take tub bath except
when bathing for cleanliness. warm
shower bath followed by cool sprink-
ling is preferable TO a cold bath after
exercise. Vigorous exercise renders
Turkish and hot baths unnecessary;
those should be reserved for medical
eases. Skin disorders are frequently
caused by excessive bathing and the use
of too much soap Although general
rules for bathing could be given, every
man must be guided by his own physical
condition and his occupation. . Boston
