INDIAN UPRISING.
News OF an Alarming Character Re-
ceiyed From Skeena Forks.

NeWe OF An Alarming Charaotef Re-
ceiyed From Skeena Forks.
OTTAWA, 0ST., July 25.-News of an
alarming character has been received here
regarding the safety of the expeditionary
forcs which has been sent out from Vic
toria to aueli the Indian uprising at
Skeens Forks, British Columbia. 1t ap-
pears.that, when too late, after the troops
had embarked on board the man-of-war
Caroline and started for Fort Esslington,
the Government discovered that owing to
the state of the water in Skeena river, the
transport Of troops by this route in canoes
would be attended with great danger, not
alone on account Of the tremendous cur
rent but mainly because nearly the whole
Indian population, learning that the
troops were coming. have entrenched them
selves in high bluffs which overhang the
narrow river on either side, from which
impregnable position they will be able to
shoot down the advancing troops without
the loss Of a man.
Couriers who have escaped from Hazel
ton report the banks OF the river alive with
hostile Indians, armed with Winchester re-
peating rifles, awaiting in ambush the ar
rival of c battery, which, it is feared here,
will result disastrously to the troops unless
some other route is taken. Couriers report
that there are passes on the river bankswhere
Q dozen Indians could annihilate the whole
force, as yet numbering only 125 men,
without exposing themselves Hazelton
has been shut out from communication
with the outside world for ten days, and it

the Indians TO massacre all the white set

New silver Field. pi.cov.r.d.

SroKASE Falls, W. T., July 25.-The
discovery of q rich quartz mine, six miles
from the town of Palouse, is the famous
agricultural and blue grass valley of the
Palouse, has caused much excitement in
that nsighborhood. A small expedition set
out for the scene of the discovery, and 8
large quantity of the quartz was brought to
Palouse. The assay reports gave ~ to 78
ounces of silver and the widest excitement
soon took possession of the people. In q
short time Palouse was deserted save by the
women and children. Returning parties re-
port fully 500 men are now on the grounds,
and little digging brings the happy owner
Of mine down TO the shining metal. The
section of the new strike lies in the old Sal
mon Diggings, which had a population of
$4,000 not many years ago. In those days

Tnnics of Conservation.

More than six months ago an English
magazine offered prize of three guineas
for the most original and suitable topics
of conversation on the four occasions of a
morning call, before dinner, in the draw
ing room, during dinner Gn the dining
room and in the train. Either this three
guinea prize was no temptation to in
ventive conversationalists, or else the task
proves 10 be impossible, for believe the
project has fallen through, and we must
go on without the discovery Of a royal
road to brilliant talk What a blessing
few sparkling suggestions would be to
those of us who only can berate the
weather when the supply of gossip falls
short. In these days when money buys
everything, the demand for appropriate
topics of conversation really ought to be
furnished regardless of expense. The
trouble with the editor of this magazine
in question was, not that he didn't mean
wen, but that he didn't make his prize
worth the trying for. Three guineasi

A Curious Nerro super.tition.

There is an old ''darky" superstition
which still holds place in the minds of a
great many of our colored population.
When the first thunder storm of the year
comes the superstitious negro makes a
beeline for the nearest river or creek. He
may be seen watching the rolling waters
for some time, till at last he spies dark
object on its surface. He grabs il as il
floats near the bank. With one exulting
exclamation he binds the object around
his wrist and goes his way in peace, Sc
cure, as ne thinks, from the rheumatism
and kindred ailments. What was the
object, The skin of u water snake. Snakes
are said TO shed their skins when lightning
first appears, and the negro believes that
winding a snake skin around his wrist at
this time exerts a counteracting influence
on nearly all diseases. Charlotte (N. C.)

When Japanese children Die,

We stopped one day at pretty and
rather modest temple shrine, where sat a
clean polled, benevolent looking priest,
with big trimmed spectacles astride his
little nose. Before and above and about
the shrine hung little children's frocks,
their tiny shoes, pretty little belts, dolls,
and other playthfngs.
''What is this." we asked our guide.
"When little children come to die their
mothers bring their dresses and play
things here, and pul-a little money in this
box. Every day the priest offers prayers
that the little ones may be made happy
after death, and have nice things and
pretty playthings when they go to stay
up there with God"
As we talked, heart stricken mother
came and tossed her coin into the box,
and as she placed the little bundle of her
dear ones pretty clothes in the tender
priestly hand, we thought there was but
one thing better than this, the saying,
''Suffer little children to come unto me,
and forbid them not. Japan Letter.

inches In diameter, tearing it into splinters,

the six feet intervening between the other

A few days ago Boston lady was In

flowers had been left at the door for her
Being occupied at the time, the lady told the
servant to open the box, sprinkle the flowers
with water and put them on the ice, adding
that she would attend to them when she
went down to tea. The box really contained
Q new spring hat which had been ordered,

was Immediately developed that Ohio is as

she is In statesmen and military leaders.

and pertinently stated (by the Ohio State

(then of Toledo. but now OF Canton
should form a third of the twins" and
that the combination should be known as
the triplets. Then the Dayton Journal had
another singer to add to the group. In a
note to the editor of this paper, from Mrs.
Sherwood, accompanying a copy of q
charming little book OF verse entitled

distinguished friend writes: ~ think,

be brought out in good style, with nlustra-
