Mr.. Tinker is gentleman, and NO one

THE SIOUX conrMBsToN.

A special from Washington dated July
49, TO the Pioneer Press, says: "The
friends Of Dakota who are interested in
the opening Of the Sioux reservation
iseem well pleased with the composition
Of the Sioux commission. The commits
sion'is composed of Messrs. Pratt, Wright
and Cleveland. Captain Pratt has had
considerable experience with Indians as
superintendent of the Carlisle school.
He has the full confidence of the Indians
who have been educated under his guild
ance. He will find among the Sioux a
large number of young men who have
been educated at Carlisle and who will
aid him in many ways in gaining the
confidence of the Indians on the reserva-
ton. Judge Wright, as chairman Of
the Northwestern Indian commission,
has gained pretty thorough knowledge
of the Indian character, and while he is
unknown to the Sioux has his task SO
well in hand that he will no difficulty in
entering intee confidential relations with
the Indians. Rev. Mr.. Cleveland, APP
pointed a member Of the conanaission, is
notiaabrother OF the PRESIDENT but J. W.
Cleveland, an Episcopal minister. and
formerly missionary at the Rosebud,
Dakota, agency. He speaks, the Sioux:
language fluently., TIE commission is
not oyerbupdened with money, il that is
to be used to influence the Indians, asst
has but $4,000 to,earry out the entire
work with. The expenses OF the COM
mission cannot fall.far short OF $4,000,
and it is,proposed to- distribute certain
presents among the Indians looking to
securing favorable impression toward
the project. As theme are about $4,000
Sioux, the money will not go great
ways. Still it is believed to be enough.
The enemies of the law are alert and
active, and the Indian Defense associa-
ton, including General Denver, DIR.
Bland and Dr.. Sunderland, will be in
the field about as, soon as the committee
stirring the Indians up against the pro-
posed reduction of the reservation. Still
Secretary, Villas is determined to score a
success, and seems quite sanguine of the
result. If it; be true, as certain Pierre
state, that agents and officials
at the various agencies are responsible
for, the ''moonsAine" reports which have
reached the war department relative to
alleged hostility among the Indians, it
will go very hard with those individuals.
Villas will stand no such interference.
The commission will meet in Bismarck
the latter part of next week. Work will
be begun. at'the Standing Rock agency.
The other agencies will be visited in their
regular order az they are reached in
down the Missouri river"

How to Cure Hiccoughifg,

4 company of young people who
had evidently visited the Wild West
exhibition on Staten Island, board
cd the train at the South Ferry sta
ton. They were a jolly set, and pass
ed the time in joking and jesting
until the train reached Grand street
when one of the young women was
seized with violent hiccoughing. The
attack was so aggravated that it see
med as ifthe girl would choke.
Various suggestions as TO methods
of relief were offered. One told her
to hold her breath as long as she
could. She attempted it and did as
directed until she became actually
livid, but she could hold out no lon
ger, and gave vent to mighty hic-
cough which sounded like an explo-
sion.
"I've got a sure cure" interected
one of her companions, "and ifyoull
follow my advice will guarantee
its efficacy.
VIII you do it ?"
She hiccoughed an emphatic as
sent
He then stood in the aisle and
bado her to face him. She obeyed
implicitly.
Next, he raised his arm straight
above his head and placed his hands
so that the tips of the fingers of the
other hand touched.
The blushing but desperate
maiden did likewise much to the
amusement of the people in the car.
But the cure was effected, for
moment after her finger tips had
touched the spasm passed, and had
not returned when the party alight-
ted at Twenty-third street.

Wedding Rings.

In speaking of wedding rings, we
learn (says the New York Jewellery
News) that these important symbols
have not always been manufactured
from that precious metal gold. We
are told that in lieu of ring the
church key has often been used; and
Walpole tells of an instance where
a curtain ring was employed. The
Duke of Hamilton fell so violently
in love with the younger Of the cele-
brated Misses Cunning, at party
in Lord Chesterfield's house, that
two days after he sent for a parson
to perform the marriage ceremony !;
but us the Duke had neither license
nor ring, the clergyman refused to
act. Nothing daunted, Hamilton
declared he "would send for the
archbishop" At last they were
married with Il ring of the bed-cur-
tain at halfpast twelve at night at
Mayfair Chapel. Forgetful bride
grooms have been reduced to greater
straits than this even; in one in
stance leather ring had, ON the
spur Of the moment, to be cut out
ofa piece of kid, from the brides
glove. A tragic story of forgotten
wedding ring is told in the "Lives of
the Lindseys." When he should
have been at church, Colin Lindsey,
the young Earl of Balcarres, was
quietly eating his breakfast in night
gown and slippers; when reminded
that Mauritia of Nassau was waiting
him at the altar, he hurried to the
church, but forgot the ring. A friend
present gave him one, which he,
without looking at, placed on the
brides finger. After the ceremony
was over, the Countess glanced at
her hand, and beheld a grinning
deaths head ON her ring She faint
ed away, and the omen made such
an impression on her, that on recov-
ering she declared that she was to
die within year. presentiment
that probably brought about it own
ful6llment for in a few months TIE
careless Colin was widower.

In s.. Oswald's church, Winwick
on the western side of the tower
there is a stone ON which is a cary
ing of a pig, which is said to have
been placed there to commemorate
the story that when the first church
was built in the time of King Os-
void, the foundation-stone was laid
ON the site of a pigsty, whose occu-
pants being angry at the disturb
unce, removed the stone to the pre-
sent position of the church, and
their angry grunts are said to have
formed the word "Winwick p The
eiligy of the pig remains the story
may or may not be believed.
The story the other day about the
pious little boy who tried to walk
on the water in the bath tub, re-
calls another on an equally pious lit
tie girl. She was eight years old
and lived in the country. She had
started one day rather late for school
with another little girl about her
own age. On their way they caught
a glimpse of clock dial through an
open door it lacked five minutes of
20.
"Oh dear p exclaimed the pious
little girl. "It's five minutes to 8
and we'll be late to school"
"I'm afraid we will"
"Jennie, " said the pious little girl,
impressively. an tell you what we
must do; we'll kneel right down
here and pray that we won't be late!"
"H'm !" said the other. 81 guess
we'd better skin right along and
pray as we goP'
They "skun" and got there.
