The Tongues Indications.

a furred tongue is not necessarily an
alarming symptom. According to late
lecture by DR.. Howship Dickinson, the
tongue not only changes its aspect and con-
dition with often inconsiderable deviations
from ordinary health, but it presents many
differences within this state in different
persons, ard in the same persons at diff
ferent times. To some persons it is normal
to have a clean tongue, and TO others equally
normal TO have a coated one, so that it is
impossible to fix any degree or limit OF coat
ing as necessary accompaniment Of perfect
health. --Arkansaw Traveller.

GEN. SHERIDAN DEAD
A Deathbed Scene that will Make
 Many Sad Citizens.

NoNQUlTT, Mass, Aug. 5.-General Philip H. Sheridan died at l0.15 tonight.
 When the general left Washington he was considered by the army physicians who were sionally had been called into consultation as in precarious condition, and the voyage to Nonquitt was taken only as a last hope. For the first eighteen days after his arrival the change of climate and surroundings worked g fictitious improvement, which the physicians eagerly seized upon to bulletin to the world as the normal and healthy stages of progress in his case which would lead to ultimate recovery. The physicians themselves were either deceived in the progress of the patient, or recognized that there was no hope of saving his life.
 Dr. Robert M. O'Reilly, who has been in charge of the case since the first attack, &C., companied him to this place, but he remained only few days. He returned to Washington charge. few days ago it became evident that the general was really retrograding instead of progressing The reaction which had been oc- casiened by the change of climate had been exhausted and symptoms of rapid decline were noticed. Dr. O'Reilly was hastily summoned and on his arrival acknowledged that the case was hopeless. He at once sent for Dr. Pepper, of the University of Pennsylvania, the special ist, who had been called into the case when the general was at Washington and dissolution seemed imminent. It was, however, given out to the public that Dr. Peppers visit was not occasioned by any alarming change in the gen. erals condition.
 It was believed by those who had followed tackled with sudden relapse, and that heroic methods were necessary to prolong his life. Colonel NJ. " Sheridan, brother of the Gener- al had been reticent about the condition of the patient since his arrival here, but to-day he admitted that the general was in bad way. This was really the first intimation which bad come from the sick man 8 cottage of the serious condition of the general. Throughout Satur-

Fleeing From the MOrmons.

A pale.faced little woman, giving her name as Elizabeth Turnhill Rutter, for merly of North Shields, England, was picked up in Chicago apparently faint ing from hunger. She claimed to have had nothing to eat on her four days trip from Ogden, Utah, on the way to her old home in England. She told a terrible story of experiences among the Mormons. Her son, she stated, had been induced against the wishes of his parents to join party of emigrants organized by Mormon missionaries in England. The father, frantic with anxiety, fol- lowed to Utah. He found employment with a Mormon, Joseph Holbert, but was unable to save enough to help con- tinue the search until he pretended to join the Church. Then he got money and sent some to her, but all his letters telling of the condition of affairs in Utah were intercepted, and others sub- stituted urging her to como to Utah with the missionaries. Rutter was mur- dered shortly after she joined him. He had inadvertently given a young Mor- mon an inkling of his plans to find his boy and escape with his life. The Nor mons assert that Rutter's death was ac- cidental. She was defrauded by Hol- bert of her husbands savings, but flee ing to Ogden, she earned enough money working in a hotel to pay her passage home. The amount of railroad fare was larger than she expected and she had de- prived herself of food on the long jour- to Chicago.

A FLOUR TRUST.
A St. Louis Despatch Tells of It's
 Coming Formation.

Circulars have been issued by A. H. Smith, Secretary of the St. Louis Millers' Association, calling meeting of millers of Missouri, Hi nois, Kansas, Indiana, Tennessee, and of all winter wheat states for the purpose of forming 8 flour rust The meeting is to be held in St. Louis Aug. 31. An agreement has already been signed by all the prominent millers of st. Louis, the St. Louis Association having capa- city of 17,0OO barrels per day. The agIeem mt is very rigid in its stipulations. It is proposed to call the trust ''The Gen. tral Millers' Association" the object being to secure for the members legiti- mate profit in products. In italics will be found the following stipulation in the agree ment: "Absolute submission to authority, of which the individual member is only an in tegral part. The power of the directors is made absolute. They are to fix prices, may order reduction in output or closing down of mill contract with brokers to act for members of the association; credits are not to exceed 30 days mills at points tributary to St. Louis, Detroit or Toledo shall not pay over the cur rent prices for same grades of wheat or flour in those markets, less two-thirds of the freight rates thereto. All sales of less than car lots must be 10 cents higher than current minimum prices"
 The trust proposes to control absolutely the output, price and sale of flour in the territory it will govern.

The Zulu Marriage Laws.

A Marriage among the Zulus is as binding as any nuptial ceremony in En- gland, and man cannot put away his wife without valid cause approved by the councillors of the tribe. Infdelity is punishable by death, both to wife and partner in guilt. Constant and sys- tematic disobedience or incorrigible idleness is punished by divorce. If the woman thinks she is at all ill-treated she can return to her father, who can keep her by repaying the number of COWS paid for her, the children, being re- garded as solely hers, going with her. If 8 wife prove childless she Is divorced, or the father gives another daughter with her without further payment. In that case if the sister have children the first two of her offspring are transferred to the first wife, and are considered as her children. When twins occur one is always sacrificed to avert ill luck. If a man wishes to take more wives he must always obtain the consent of the first or queen wife. In fact, the Zulu laws of marriage resemble the old Mosaic laws, and their social condition is sim liar to that of the Israelites when the divine law was first given them.-Lo1a- doaa Fiyaro.

The Gold Dog.

Prof. McAllister, the prestidigitateur and ventriloquist, happened to be travel ing across Lower Idaho some years ago on his way from one town to another It was in the days of early stage coach ing, before railroads were quite so plentiful as at the present time. The Professor one afternoon, before the show commenced, in wandering about the streets of, I think it was Lewiston, encountered on the outskirts of the town small band of Indians Two or three companions were with him. While chatting together, looking about and observing things generally, McAllister became quite familiar with mongrel dog owned by the redskins, whom he proceeded to pet nonchalantly.
 Zine dog," said the Professor.

THE PEOPLES LANDS.
Probable Conflict of Federal and
 State Authority in Minnesota.

conflict of State and federal authority seems certain to arise under the decision re- ported by which settlers who are on the Northern Pacific indemnity lands were en- joined from attempting to make final proofs in the United States Land Office. Judge Sleeper is reported to have decided the whole case of the validity of the Northern Pacific's title and to find that it was good, whereas the federal officers at St. Cloud deny that the State Court has any jurisdiction in the matter; at least the pre-emptors, wlo were restricted from at tempting to make proof are advised by those land officers to proceed regardless of the Court, and that they, the register and receiver, will issue their final receipts if the usual proof is properly presented.
 Nearly the entire body of pine lands that the northern company owns, or is supposed to own, under its indemnity selections is in- volved. Not less than five hundred settlers are believed to be under them. These went in ard made their filings under the depart ment's order last fall offering these lands to settlement. Their time of occupancy-six months-is generally elapsed, and if they make the final proofs they will get the whole body of those lands at from SIPS to $2.50 per acre. The pine alone on them is estimated at two hundred and fifty million feet, worth as it stands S500.t %, and the land is worth as much more. There are about one hundre1 persons coming under the action as already taken, but the service was only got upon twenty or thirty so that under this attitude of the local land office the danger of at least a serious cloud upon the title to the land is very great.

General GNrfield,S Dog.

In the summer of 1880, when the first delegation of enthusiastic politicians came dropping up from the Mentor station through the lane that led to "Lawnield," :" in order to congratulate Gen. James A. Garfield on his nomination for the Presidency, there was one member of the Garfield household who met the we'll meaning but noisy strangers with an air of astonishment and disapproval, and, as they neared the house, disputed further approach with menacing voice.
 This was "Veto," Gen. Garfeld's big Newfoundland dog and not until his master had called to him that it was 'all right" and that he must be quiet, did he cease hostile demonstrations.
 After that, whenever delegations came and they were of daily occurrence Veto walked around among the visitors, looking grave and sometimes uneasy, but usually peaceful. Gen. Garfield was very fond of large, noble-looking dogs. Veto was puppy when given to him, but in two years time had grown to be an immense fellow, and devotedly at tached to his master. He was named in honor of President Hayes veto of 8 cer- Gdlu DIlI III Uuo SpIlIlS5 Ol ICto.
 The bill was for abolishing the office of marshal at elections. It did not meet with the Presidents approval, and he returned it to Congress unsigned, an ac- tion which greatly pleased Gen. Gar field, and suggested the name for his dog.
 Although quiet, as he had been bid den, Veto was never reconciled to the publics invasion of the Mentor farm. He was dog of great dignity, and could not but feel resentment at the familiarity of the strangers who, on the strength of political prominence, overran his mas ter's fields, spoiled the fruit-trees, peered into the barns and poultry yard, and were altogether over-curious and intru- sive. He had been told that it was "all right" but these actions by day, and the torchlights and hurrahing by night, wore on his spirits and temper. This evi- dent unftness for public life caused a final separation from his beloved master for when, in the following spring, the family moved to Washington to begin residence at the White House, they thoughtit was not best to take Veto with them 50 he was left behind in Mentor.
 Poor fellow! all his doubts and fears for the safety and peace of him he loved and guarded were indeed well-founded. That first invasion of Lawntield was but the beginning of what was to end in great calamity and bitter sorrow. Veto never saw his master again.-St. Nich- O7oe
