According to the latest roster, there are now
serving in the department of Dakota, Gen. Al
fred H Terry commanding, the following regi-
ments:
Cavalry-Second and Seventh regiments,
twenty-four troops.
Infantry-Third, Fifth, Eleventh, Fifteenth,
Seventeenth, Eighteenth and Twenty fifth regi-
ments; seventy companies
Artillery-Light Battery F, Fourth regiment.
Allowing seventy men to each cavalry troop,
sevepty-five to the light battery, and fifty men
to each infantry company, the total strength of
would be- 1 $50 The allowance to troors and
companies is large enough to include the reg1-
mental bands and members Of the non
commissioned staff. If each regiment
had it's full complement of officers present
for duty there would be, in the department
exclusive of the officers attached to depart
ment headquarters-95 second lieutenants, ia
first ieutenants, IS captains, Ii majors, 9 lieu
tenant colonies and colonels-33335 in all
Each cavalry regiment has IA first and IL
second lieutenants, and each infantry regiment
12 firsts and 10 seconds. A cavalry regiment
has three majors and an infantry regiment one.
The extra first are the regimental
staff officers-adjuta and quarter
masters. Each battery has one second and two
first ieutenants. If all the commissioned and
non commissioned officers and enlisted men
were on duty, therefore, the department could
show total strength of 4,59O-a far larger
number than any other department could
muster.
Gen. Terry promulgates decision by Lieut.
Gen Sheridan, that there is no regulation
which prohibits an army officer, while on leave
of absence, from visiting Canada or Mexico.

Lively Court Scene in California.

The court room, at San Francisco during the
trial Of the Sharon divorce case on Wednesday.
the 9th, was scene of great commotion. Mrs
Shawan, witness for the defense, was on the
the stand Judge Tyler, attorney for Miss Hill,
was subjecting her to severe cross examina-
ton. He said he proposed to show that the
witness had dined in disreputable places and
visited an designation house with strange men
Mrs. Shawan manifested intense excitement
and hurriedly put her hand in her pocket as if
to draw a revolver, but was checked by coun-
sci for the defense, who implored her to
keep cool During the excitement which pre-
vailed McCune Shawan, q man about twenty
two years of age, and son of the witness, ap-
proachod Judge Tyler, but was stopped by the
fatter's son, who threatened to shoot him down
if he attempted to draw pistol Judge Sui
Ivan ordered the witness and her son removed
from the court, and Immediately after declared
a recess. At the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion the judge refused to hear further testimony
in the case until assured that one in the court
room was armed, and would require certif-

Common-Sense and Hygiene.

Said friend, whose vacation in the
country had been cut short by case of
diphtheria manifestly due to foul sur
roundings, II should think common
sense would teach men the danger of
such things"
But common-sense, after all, is, doubt
less, only right ideas so commonly ac-
cepted as to be generally acted on with
out concious thought.
This, however, comes of prior intel
igence.
Think of the common-sense of India
in hygiene. where the very filth IS al
lowed to embody itself in a pestilence
which every decade sweeps round the
globe.
Think of the common sense of our
British ancestors, when rotten straw
within the house, and narrow, dark and
damp streets with open cutters perpet-
ually flowing, made the Plague fixed
inhabitant for over seventy years, that
at length, some more than two centu
ries ago, bacame famous vas
the Great Plague by it's desas |
Think of the common-sense even OF
our own fathers, who filled the land
with cesspools, with not thought of
the wells into which their contents
leached; and their cellars with all
sorts of decaying vegetables; and who
looked on all contagious epidemics SIM
ply as visitations from God for sin with
out once suspecting that it was for the
sin of transgressing that divine law
which demands purity of water and air,
as we'll as of heart.
Take this Casa beautiful residence,
with its natural hygiene perfect; it's
owner and occupant, the learned Pre-
sident of literary institution the only
access to it's cellar, a door from the CEN
trail hall, and the cellar stored with win
ter's supply of potatoes and of veget-
ables generally; at some distance cess
pools, and stables for horses and COWS,
and long passage, covered on every
side, fully connecting them with the
dwelling, and ensuring free flow of
miasm to the latter, and-the venera-
BILE president sick with typhoid fever.
Take another Casa clergyman's
house, stable, pig stye and vaults prac-
tically under one roof; child dies of
diphtheria and the father of typhoid
fever,
Neither of these cases date back forty
years; in both the men were far above
the average for intelligence.
Think of people going into the coun-
try or to the mountains for pure air and
then sleeping in close rooms.
The fact is, it is only within few
years that men have begun to study and
apply the laws Of hygiene. The results
of this study must be the improvement
in health of all civilized nations

Mitchell, Oak, special Telegram, April GA
cold-bloodod and unprovoked murder was COM
mitted at Hank Lewis saloon at o'clock this
morning, the victim being Capt J. T. Pierce
city marshal, and the murderer being Hank
Lewis, the saloonkeeper A city ordinance re-
quires all saloons to close ata designated hour,
and Lewis announced that he would break the
law with impunity, and bidding defiance to ar
rest, and threatening to shed the blood of the
officer who should arrest him Lewis saloon
was open at three o'clock. and officer Eller,
of the night police, ordered him to close, but
he refused, saying he was going to murder the
policeman who undertook his arrest Eller
undertook to arrest Lewis, and would have sue
ceoded had it not been for the Interference Of
outsiders. Knowing Lewis desperate charac-
ter and his defiance of law, strengthened by his
success hitherto in avoiding punishment for
his crimes, Officer Eller sought reinforcements
in City Marshal Pierce and some citizens.
Capt. Pierce went to the saloon and spoke to
Lewis; Lewis, what is the mattery Why
won't you close the saloon and obey
the lawsg" Lewis replied, "rll fix
you," supplemented with vile oaths. Capt
Pierce then stepped into the saloon, and told
Lewis that if he would not obey the law he
would have to arrest him. At the same mo-
ment Lewis stepped back and picked up shot
gun. Capt Pierce told him to put down the
gun, but Lewis, as quick as thought, with
steady nerve, levelled the weapon deliberately
at Capt. Pierce's head and fired, striking
Pierce on the right side of the head and par
tally blowing his brains out Capt. Pierce
fell backwards, and with commissions and terri
bic groans, expired in pool of his own blood.
Officer Eller and citizenssoverpowered Lewis
before he could use his revolt
yer and handcuffed him. There were
a number of low women in the back
part of the saloon, and after the murder they
added to the horror of the scene by demoniac
screams. Lewis was marched off to the jail
and secured behind the bars At an early hour
this morning the news of the murder. was
generally spread throughout the city, and
citizens began to flock to the scene, and loud
cries of 'Lynch the murderer" 'sHang him to
a lamp-post" went up from the crowd; but
the officers were prompt in quelling any effort
in that direction and better judgement soon
prevailed for time.
murder; Lewis is one of the worst characters
that ever came to the territory. He has always
been successful in avoiding punishment, but
there now seems to be no barrier between him
and justice. Later in the afternoon strong
threats of lynching were made, and extra pre-
cautions were taken to guard the prisoner.
Capt Pierce formerly lived at Manchester,
Iowa, where he was engaged in the creamery
business, but removed to this city about two
years ago and had acted as city marshal for
about year, giving the best of satisfaction.
He served in the war of the rebellion, and was
prominently connected with the Grand Army
of the Republic. He was married, but leaves
no children

The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser
says it has the authority of an educated
and accomplished violinist for the asser-
ton that the popular belief that the
manufacture of superior violins is a
lost art" is sheer delusion. No bet
ter violins are made, OF ever were made
than the best of instruments now man
ufactured in this country. The collec-
tors and relic-mongers put fabulous
Bnices on Stradivarius because it is q
cdrio and not because of its instrinsic
merit as a violin or of it's superiority in
anything but age, to the finest modern
instruments. No trained and compe-
tent Judge of violins in this country ever
thinks of importing an instrument
from Europe or would give straw
more for genuine Stradivarius, SO far
as use is concerned, than for q first rate
instrument of heme manufacture.

Destructive Fire at Hampton, Va.

A fire occurred at Hampton, Va by which thir-

in store occupied by G. N. Bridgeman. With
a high wind blowing from the northwest, the
whole town was threatened with destruction,
and the fire engines from the Soldiers home

scene During the progress of the fire num-
Der of persons were injured, and for time the
greatest excitement prevailed. In order to, as
far as possible, prevent any serious Disturb
ance, Judge Booker ordered all barrooms
closed and the military has been ordered out.
In August 1861, Hampton was burned by Gen.

tury in the Original Greek" which he
has published, with notes and comments
on its origin and commences. Some
chapters Of the document have bsen pub
lished in English, and they are credited
by judges Of apostolic writings. The
title is Teachings Of the Apostles, and
the date fixed is somewhere between
100 and 100. It is claimed that Glenn

DEATH SUPERSTITIONS.



Rowling Dogs and Other Signs OF Dissolu-
ton.
II think people are getting to be bet
ter educated, and, as consequence, are
less superstitious than they used to be, :"
said Patrick Drake, the undertaken, in
talking about the matter "I've heard
lot of these things in my time-I ought
to, I've laid away nearly 5000 people
but never remember them. OF course
you've heard that the bowling of dog
is sure sign of death; that seems to be
generally believed in. The guttering
of candle is another. To bring q
dead body into house means that
some of the people who
live there will shortly die; if a corpse
after death is not laid out straight some
people also believe that another death
will also follow. There are a great
many more of these things but never
charge my memory with them. It is
now only in the lower and ignorant class
that you find people who believe in
them, and tits growing harder to find
them every year. Waking among the
lower Irish is also less common. The
most superstitious races are the Scotch
and Irish, the Germans and English
somewhat, and the Americans least of
ALL"
"No, sir, I don't think anything about
it, but know that some of these signs
are sure forerunner OF DEATH" said
George w. Latimer. II can't explain
why it is that dog bowls when per-
son is dying, but guess there must
bs something in the air which
tells him of it, and makes him feel it.
If we we're to study these things it
