Rlorors. One night last week num-
Der of mine bank men got the full strength
of our Local Option drinks on board and
they acted in manner in every way I'M
becoming, 80 much so in fact, that no
stranger witnessing their behavior could
ever have been convinced that this was
other than the most literally licensed To-
caliiy. They sang ribald songs, INDUCED
in profanity, threw porch benches into the
street and smashed bottle against n
house; all of which proves that Local op-
ton with the wine and cider privilege is
a delusion, a chmcra, a hornswogglcmrnt.

The balloon that made an ascension
from the Fair Grounds at Frederick ON
"Wednesday last reached an estimated alt-
tudc of two thousand feet. What was pc
culiar of this ascension was, that the bal
loon met with no decided current of air in
its ascent or descent and reached the
ground at a point not over two hundred
and fifty yards from where it started. II
is no, probable that such an utter absence
of currents in all that height is found once
in one thousand asCcnsions.

HEROES OF TIE PLAINS. Mr.. j. ".
Buel the well known author and traveller,
spent large part of the past summer
among the Indians of the West, and dur
ing the time visited the renowned Chief,
Sitting Bull at Standing Rock Agency,
Dakota. While there he obtained from
Sitting Bull and his principal Chiefs full
account of the massacre of Custer and his
men in 1876 This is the first and only
time the Indians have their side Of the
story, which is more intensely interesting
because one of Clusters men lived to relate
the horrors Of that unparalleled massacre.
Mr. Buel has added full history of this
great historical event, and his own expert
ences among the savages, to his celebrated
book, Heroes of the Plains" with fine
portraits of Sitting Bull and his principal
