A Bumper That Bumps.
Chicago News,

d
Last week division of the Loyal Legion
was organized in Minnesota, and among other
congratulatory kilograms received on this Oc-
casion was one from R. B. Hayes of Ohio to
this effect: "Heres a bumper to Minnesota. !"
We can imagine the surprise-not to say pain
of the Minnesota brethren upon reading
this convivial message from one whose pre-
tensions as temperance reformer have be-
come notorious. But what puzzles is the ex-
ceeding Indebtedness of the dispatch-the
vagueness which opens the door for an ocean,
so to speak, of conjecture. Mr.. Hayes says,
Here's bumper" but does not say what it
is bumper of. 1t may be, as the New York
World suggests, a bumper of buttermilk; or
it may be bumper of the poisonous liquor
retailed at 10 cents per glass in each of the
eighty miserable doggeries now in full blast
in Mr.. Hayes own town of Fremont, o.; or it
may be a bumper of the burning liquid which
has been sold for whisky in all of the saloons
on Mr.. Hayes Omaha property for the past
six years; or perhaps it is combination of
all these eements-a strange, fiery punch,
brewed from the three beverages. The doubt
the suspense Mr.. Hayes words leave us in is
simply agonizing.

PHILADELPHIA has an abduction case SINH
lar to the one in this city, only in the Phila-
delphia case two children were kidnapped,
and by the step-mother, who is divorced from
her husband. The fathers name is ROBELON,
wealthy music dealer. A little over q
year ago he was married to a Wilmington
belle and heiress, who was his second wife.
A few weeks ago the husband obtained a
divorce from the wife because of her extrava-
gance and fast life. Last Saturday Mr..
ROBELON was called away from his house for
about five minutes, leaving his two children
playing in the yard, When he returned the
children were gone, and upon inquiry he
learned that the late wife, in company with a
man, had taken the children into carriage
and driven off. An advertisement appears in
the Philadelphia papers Offering large re-
ward for the arrest of the kidnappers.

Sinnular Coincidence.

New YORK, June 15.-Sarah Rutter, the
widow of James II. Rutter, president of
the New York Central & Hudson River
railroad, died yesterday morning of infam-
nation of the brain at Sing Sing, where she
was under the care of DR.. r. L. Parsons
Mr.. Rutter died On Friday last The death
of several dear friends and the anxiety
about her husbands serious illness in 1881
so affected Mrs. Rutter's mind that it was
deemed advisable to put her in charge of a
physician. On Wednesday last she had an
acute attack and shortly afterward she be-
came unconscious. Thus both the wife and
husband were dying at the same time, but
neither knew anything about the others
condition.

WINNIPEG, June 5.-ChippeWayan Mis-
sion, Portage, Beaver river, june Is, via
Pitt.-The Chippewayans have surren-
dered, being induced to do SO by Father
Legoff. 1t now appears that some
OF them were in the fight at French
mems Butte. A board of inquiry is
investigating their case to-day. The guilty
ones will be sent to Battleford. Scouts have
been sent out on foot to recOnnOitre Big
Bears position. One hundred men of the
Winnipeg Light infantry, under Col. Smith,
leave to-day for points forty miles
down the river, to prevent Big Bear
from crossing. The Midland battalion was
recalled and will guard the trail east. A
courier Is just in from Middleton with in
structions to continue the chase, he having
returned, owing to the difficulty in follow
ing Big Bears trail. When Big Bears pO-
sitiOn is once located we will advance

BIG BEARS CAREER.
QUEBEC, June ia Mrs. Dubois, liv-
ing i'll st. Mauveur, an adjoining munich
pallty to Quebec, claims to be cousin of
Big Bear and says his proper name is Ed
GUARD Lambert and that he is son of Louis
Lambert, a farmer in Marie Frechetts
OF st. Nicholas county of Lewis, who
is therefore cousin of the poet laureate,
l.. ID. Frechette. She states that when Ed
GUARD was 20 yeals of age he left ST. Mich
olas for the United States with two friends.
Nothing was heard of him by his family for
twenty years, when a letter was received
stating that he had been taken prisoner
by the Cree Indians, and that they
guarded him so closely that he was
unable to escape. After this, by acts of
bravery, he won the admiration of the
Indians and was consequently obliged to ac-
cept the daughter of the chief as his
squaW. Upon the death of the
chief he was chosen to succeed him by
the tribe. To substantiate the above Mrs.
Dubois states that one of Edouard's broth
ers subsequently visited the Northwest and
recognized Big Bear as his brother. The
Identification was unmistakable from GER
tain life marks which, despite the Indian
paint, were observable.

ing to Sir Leonard Tilley's calculations
when he made his budget speech in
the early part of the session, this will leave a
deficit for the fiscal year, ending the Both
day of June, of 100000 The revenue,
however, during the past three month has
largely exceeded his estimates, and it is
quite probable that after providing for the
extraordinary expenditure, the finance
minister will be able to announce small
surplus.

GEN. GRANTS DISEASE.

l.
Gen. LOGAN has been to visit Gen. GRANT
and makes the most sensible diagnosis of
the old generals disease that has yet been
made He says it is not cancer but that it
is ''scrofulouS affection of the throat"
While Gen. LOGAN is unskilled in the use of
language and consequently not familiar with
technical and scientific terms his simple ex-
PLANTATION of Gen. GRANTS trouble will
strike common-sense people as thousand
fold more satisfactory and Ineligible than
all the doctors have said or written about
it. The disease is scrofula and everybody
knows what that is. That it will prove
fatal there can be no question. The change
to the mountains may possibly bring relief
to the eminent sufferer, but the chances are
that it will hasten his death. it is prob
able that GRANT is going up to
the mountains to die just as GARFIELD was
taken to the Seashore to breathe his life
away. The fact that the mind of the
patient is unsettled and wanders back to
the most stirring scenes of his eventful life
is of itself pretty sure indication OF rap
idly approaching dissolution. There is
hero'S delusion, that he is back on the field
of battle at the head of his victorious armies
again. For moment the wasted form OF
the invalid soldier is fired with the old-time
life and energies of war. Again he sees
''battle's magnificently stern array" the
diapason of the cannonade falls upon his
ear, the Kissing death shots fly through the
81, 1,o ho
after column advances to the combat, and,
all aglow with the excitement of the mar
tial scene, he extends his hand as if it bore a
sword and shouts to the advancing column,
''COme on, come on, forward, steady"
Overcome by the delirious excitement, the
exhauted invalid sinks back into his chair,
but the feverish mind still dwells on the scene
fected throat shoots along the side of his face
and as the feeble hand is quickly raised, he
is heard to mutter, 81 have been struck by
a she'll" It recalls the scene of NAPOLEON
BoNAPARTE's death on the lonely island of
st. Helena when the soul of the great SOL
der started on its eternal voyage through
the gloom and storm shouting, ''tete
darmee." Or that of the famous STONE
WALL JACKSON, the Christian soldier,
whose military skill and soldierly courage
were only surpassed by his deep-seated
piety, whose mind in its delirium, like
Gen. GRANTS, wandered to the army he
had commanded, and, after giving various
| orders to his subordinates about the DISPOSE
| ton of their respective commands, sud-
denly, as if experiencing a feeling of pity
| for his veterans who were worn out with
long and tiresome marches, softly uttered
with his last breath the command: 'Let
| us pass over the river and rest under the
shade of the trees"

THE BIG STEAL.

1t appears that Mr.. ELKINS knows more
about the industrial problem than people
generally supposed. The revelations made
by Land Commissioner SPARKS in regard
to the MAXWELL land grant indicates that
it was because Mr.. ELKINs had been indus
triOus in gathering in enough of the public
domain to satisfy any reasonable man be-
fore he made public announcement of the
proposition thatthe further requirement of
the public lands by Syndicates ought to be
stopped. The MAXWELL land grant in
New Mexico originally embraced 90, 900
acres. But by some sort of hocus-pocus
the claimants managed to get patent from
the governmental 1879 for 1000, 900 acres.
The land office proceedings by which this
$4,000 acre grant was raised to an empire
are pronounced by Commissioner SPARKS
''to have been of an extraordinary char
acter." Before the claims were
confirmed many complaints were
forwarded to the interior department
by citizens who asserted that adj
ditions to the area of the original grant
had been made by fraud, and that the rights
of settlers had been ignored. No investiga-
ton concerning these allegations was made
by the land office, so Commissioner SPARKS
says, and 1.-The claim was carried through
by official readiness without regard to the
interests of the government or the rights of
citizens of the territory who were actually
occupying the land" 1t is further stated
in Commissioner SPARKS report to Secre-
tary LAMAR that, although a secretary of
the interior holding Office some years earlier
had made a decision-which should have
been regarded as finaEthat there were only
$4,000 acres in the grant, the land commits
sioner reopened the case and allowed
patents to be issued covering the a,OoO, 600
acres, according to boundaries marked out
by survey made by brother of the chief
owner OF the grant. Mr.. SPARKS says that

The revival of an old ANDREW JACK

suit from the proposed action of the treas
ury department to reduce the amount of
government money in the sub-treasuries,
and to distribute it among the banks. The
plan is urged on the ground that it will pre-
vent the repetition of the recent defalcation

Trunk railway to carry messengers and

The railroad had refused to carry such ms
ter, and said it could not do its own express

that railroad cannot discriminate in favor
of itself. 1t can do express work, but must
grant the same privileges to others.

remove the danger of defalcation, as the
latter sum is sufficiently tempting if any
one in the sub-treasury should be disposed
to default. If the plan be adopted it will
be revolution of old Democratic ideas and
doctrines, and will be in direct antagonism
to Democratic principles. 1t has more the
appearance of having been suggested for
the benefit OF, the banks than anything
else. 1t seems to look to q perpetuation of
the national debt, for the security Of the
system depends Oh the debt only. The
sentiment of the people will be against it,
and it might be the wisest course for the
present administration to take hold of it
with the same caution that man would
exercise in handling hot iron.

Cur Bogus Army.

Gen. Middleton seems to have given Big
Bear up as a bad job and to be on his way
back to civilization. AS far as any results
are concerned the United States forces might
as well do the same in their campaign against
the numbering Apaches. for the latter continue
to kill and steal, easily avoiding the soldiers.
The only case i'll which they have come in
contact with any of the latter was that of
small detachment of the Fourth cavalry under
Capt. Lawton, in which they killed five of the
soldiers and captured the supply train. 1t is
very humiliating to be compelled to admit
that handful of these murderous redskins
are more than a match for the entire United
States army, but up to date they seem to
have had the war all their own way.

PROF LANGLEY says that the sun is really
blue. Hehas learn ed through that wonderful
instrument, the spectroscope, that it is the at
mosphere of the earth, which tempers its heat
and color into white light, and that the blue
sky is the real light of the sun, unaffected by
the earth's atmosphere. He says our miscon-
ception of the white light of the sun is the
same mistake the fish at the bottom of the
ocean would make in imagining that the
suns light is a pale green. We live at the bot
tom of sea of air, and by looking up through
it get a wrong notion of the true color of the
sun. Of course by the same token the moon
and the stars must be blue also.
