How Ward Caught Fish.

President Fish Of the exploded Marine bank
Of New York says Of Ward:
Within the past several months Mr.. Ward
has represented to me that he had a conflden=
tial understanding by which he furnished to the
government the supplies I supposed that
through the Grant family, or the friends of the
Grants, he might have some such contracts.
He said it would be good thing to get con.
tracts for government supplies, and mentioned
Elkins and Chaffee, and thought they were q
portion of the scheme, and that their friend
ship and knowledge had been of advantage to
Ward as the partner of Mr.. Chaffee's son-in-law
and of Gen. Grants son. am now satisfied
the whole thing was an invention and myth.
do not believe he had any kind of contract
don't suppose now Gen. Grant knew anything
about it. But before these disclosures did
think that Grant or Grants friends might have
given Mr.. Ward the opportunity: Mr.; Ward
saw the advisabilty Of his having brought the
Grants into business relations with us. He re-
ferred to the matter of these confidential con-
tracts.

rode proudly at their head. They dis
mounted and gathered in semi circle
about the parade-ground.
On the porch, facing them stood
either side Geronimo and the other
most desperate chiefs stalked forward
and seated themselves on the porch, cx-
pecting to intimidate Mr.. Clum by their
near presence. Their looks we're black.
threatening and defiant They felt that
the little party was in their power, and
it needed but word to bring on a fierce
attack. Agent Clum showed no arms;
but as he stood on the porch, one hand
rested on revolver in his side pocket.
This was trained directly upon Geroni-
mo, who had crowded up so close that
he could almost touch him.
Such was the situation when Clum
began to speak. He said,-
II have come long way to talk with
you. If YOU are careful: none of you will
be hurt"
Scornful and derisive was the reply
of the Indian chiefs. Neither will YOU
be hurt" they said, "if you take good
care of yourself" Then they began to
handle their arms in way that meant
danger.
Agent Clum gave a signal, and sud-
denly the door of the Commissary build
ing opened, and the reserve of Indian
police poured out upon the parade
ground and surrounded the renegade
warriors. The latter now sat in sullen
amazement. They had believed that
there were only twenty police with
Clum, and now they saw force larger
than their own coming from the build
ing and encircling them. Some of the
warriors attempted to stink away. But
the chief of the police, brawny, dare
devil South Carolinian, who had been
scout during the war, raiyed his rifle
to cover them, and ordered them to
come back, With = shrill scream =

Manners OF tho Moors.

Ernest Won Hesse- Wartegg, the
correspondent of the Sun at Tangier,
mentions number of curious Moorish
customs: ITO honor a person. he says,
the European arises and removes his
hat; the Mussulman remains seated
with his head covered. When enter
ing place of worship or a house. in
stead of removing his hat, the Mussul-
man takes off his shoes and leaves them
outside the door. We consider the
right side as the place of honor; the
Moor the left. When inviting friend
to enter his house the Moor steps in
first and let's his guest follow him. Kis-
sing the hand is sign of respect with
US; the Moor, when saluting, kisses his
own hand. It would not be very Dig
nified for European king to carry an
open umbrella when in kingly attire; in
Morocco the umbrella is the emblem of
imperial majesty, and no one else is per-
mitted to carry one. AL this is only
matter of custom. There are many
habits, however, which would never be
brought to correspond with our own.
| hardly need mention polygamy, the
secrecy with which females are sur
rounded and hidden from view, nor the
existing slavery. which cannot be
stopped We take our meals by day
light and sleep at night; in the month
of the Rhadaman, the great religious.
and may say social. festival of the Mo-
hammedans. they partake not of a drop
of water nor of morsel of food in day
light. They take their meals at night
and spend the night in extravagant
feasts and orgies. We undress for our
night rest; the Mohammedan sleeps in
his daily dress. His day Of worship and
rest is Friday instead Of Sunday. We
write from the left to the right; he
writes from right to left. We begin TO
read book on the FIRST page: his first
page is our last Herr Won Hesse-
Wartegg finds in fact that the European
and Moorish civilizations have nothing
in common.

worn by nearly all the women of the
island tribes, and are a mark of age

and give hideous look to the
wrinkled, blackened old crones who
wear them. Nose rings and ear rings,
silver rings on their fipgers and brace

something more barbaric than shawls
