plant. He won't allow the mahouts to
trim his toes.n
What does the mahout say to him
that makes him trumpet so lOudly?" l
l. asked. 5@5a
1.-THE mahout asks him whether he
will give In and lie down to have his
feet trimmed. When the elephant
shrieks so loudly, it is an answer of de-
fianee, meaning that he won't give in"
replied the Sikh; ''but if he don't give
in soon, he will have to be punished"
Being curious to see an elephant
punished, waited for an hour or so,
pacify the refractory elephant and have
him submit without punishment, But
he wouldn't yield. His only reply to
the mahout's words would be shrill
trumpet of defiance.
At lenght the mahouts saw that it
was no use coaXing him any further.
So they called by name to pair of the
biggest elephants in the troop, that
were now eontendedly stripping the
leaves off green bOughS with their
trunks, and transferring them to their
mouths,
The two huge animals, in response to
their names, left their comrades and
came slowly toward the mahouts. TAX
ing them up to the angry elephant
chained to the tree, the mahouts gave
the culprit one more chance to repent;
but he was angry to stubbornnesS, and
gave vent to shrek that evidently in
tended as defiance to the two elephants
which he knew were coming to punish
him.
The two elephants now received Or
ders to bring their inSubordinate COM
rade to his senses. A cOolly as though
they were dealing with big block of
gutta percha. instead of one of their own
species. each elephant took position
by their erring brothers side and pro-
ceeded to fog him across the loins with
their trunks. AS the heavy blows
rained down upon him the culprit
shrieked with rage, but stood and took
his punishment without any attempt to
strike back.
1t appeared to be clear case of stub
bOrnneSS with him, and he didn't seem
to have any ill feeling toward either the
mahOut or the elephants that were fogg-
ing him. Two or three times the pun
iShers were ordered to let up OH him.
and the mahout would again speak to
him, but he wouldn't give him.
AS last resource. the two big fellows
to understand them thoroughly, too, for
he Shrieked angrier than ever, The
Furnishing elephants then drew back
few steps, and butted him smartly with
their heads, both at the same time.
They butted him several times, each
time little harder, until it seemed as
if he must indeed be made of india
rubber, not to have his ribs crushed in
by those ponderous rams coming to-
getheI.
Six times they butted him, and then
his trumpeting struck humber key.
The mahouts ordered the two elephants
to cease. The culprit had at last been
brought to terms; but as he followed
them to the trimming place, he was, as
said, crying like child.

Gen. Schofield's Command.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The President will, Monday, issue an order placing Maj.- Gen. Schoteld in command of the army He will be directed to continue in com mand of the Division of the Atlantic until further orders. Some arrangement will have to be made to relieve Gen. Schotield Of his present command. At present this can only be done by adding it to the command now held by some other general officer. The hope prevails In army circles that Gen. Schofeld by special legislation will be made Lieutenant General. This would cause promotions all along the line. Gen. Schofeld will bring his personal staff, Co.'s. Pitcher, Bliss and Sawyer, here from Governors Island. The staff of General Sheridan will be assigned to other duties in few weeks. Col Kellogg will soon re- join his regiment, the Fifth Cavalry. Col. Sheridan will remain here and will work on the Memoirs of Gen. Sheridan. Col Blunt may continue at army headquarters, not as member of the staff, but on duty in connection with army rifle practice.

SHERIDAN LAID TO REST
THE LAST, SAD DUTY TO THE
 GREAT SOLDIER.

The President and Cabines Follow to the Grave--Mrs. sherldan'e Visit to tho
 Church---AIone With Her Dead.
 As we go to prea5 the last sad duty that can be paid to Gen. Sheridan had nearly been discharged, and by the time this IS read all that is mortal of the great war General and hero of Winchester will have been returned to mother earth.
 w WASHINGTON, Aug. I.-Yesterday Mrs. Sheridan accompanie by General and LIrs. Fucker her father and mother). Col. Sheridan, and other mem- bers of the family, entered St. Matthew's Church, where the remains of the dead General lie in state. She leaned upon the arm of her father. A special requiem mass was celebrated by father Berwick. After the service the church was cleared, and Mrs. Sheridan remained alone with her dead. As she left the church the guard re- sumed their places, and visitors Wer again admitted. A steady stream of people poured in and out of the church all day. They included all classes, Members of Congress and laborlng men in their everyday clothes looked upon the
 
 commander. In accordance with the wish of Mrs. Sheridan the simple effect of the casket, covered only with the American flag, was not broken by placing floral trib- utes upon it. Such flowers were re- ceived were placed on the step inside the altar rail. 4 wreath of ivy leaves, with palm branches, arrived at the church this morning from some unknown source. It was thought to have been sent by the President.
 The church was cleared of all pers ons last evening, including the guards of honor and the casket was opened in the presence of Dr. O'Rellly, Col. Blunt, and Klein, the Generals body servant, to allow John Sheridan, the Generals brother from Ohio, ao view the remains. The Generals face is said to have very natural appear ance. Gen. George Crook Gen. Tompkins, Gov. J. M. Rusk of Wisconsin, and seven members of his staff arrived here last eve ming to attend the funeral.
 Gen. Schotield accepted the offer of Sec- retary Whitney to place the marine band at his disposal for service in the obsequies and he assigned it to a position at the head of the foot batteries. It was the only band in the procession. The President and Cab met accompanied the funeral procession from the church to the cemetery.
 The church remained open as usual until 8 o'clock that morning. The usual paro- chial mass was celebrated at 7 o'clock. All pos stoff1ces were closed at 10 o'clock to-day to remain closed until 2 o'clock as a mark of respect to the memory of General Sheridan.
 The salute at the grave will consist of first, seventeen guns from the light bat terles, and, second, three salvos of mus ketry from the battalion, followed by taps from a cavalry trumpet.

THE INDIAN CONFERENCE.
Tie Governments Ententfons Were Honest
 but the Indians Failed to See It.

Tie Governments Intentions Were Honest
 but the Indians Failed to See It.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 1L.--The latest ad- vices here are that the negotiations for the opening of the Sioux reservation have failed. The Sioux, for the moment, have been successful in defeatlng the good in- tentions of the Government and of some of their best friends. There never has been i q bill more carefully drawn in the interests Of the Indians than the one authorizing the treaty which the Sioux chiefs have rejected. Provisions which the delegations from the Northwest spent the whole winter hero endeavoring to have in- corporated in the bill were rejected by those who are especially friendly to the Indians, on the ground that they did not afford the Indian sufficient protection or give hlm a voice in the disposition of his land. The bill which was passed was se- | cured by mutual concessions between the two houses.
 i It was as just measure In the interests of the Indians as could ever be passed, and in rejecting it the Ind ians have done more than temporarily to defeat the desires of the Government. They have unquestion- ably prepared the way for new depart ure in the treatment of the tribes by the Government.
 There is no doubt that bill could now | pass bnG FLO uS9 WIGu llGGl6 QlTQculGY, which should direct to be done the very things which are provided to be done in tho bill that the Sioux have just rejected, with the difference that the opinion of the Sioux would not be asked about 1t; and there is but little doubt that measure could pass the Senate. The tendency in Congress will now probably be to treat these Indians as wards, and not as foreign nations which have the treaty-making power; to decide what is best for them; and to see that such measures are put into effect, whether they like them or not. Con- gress some years ago made a law that in the negotiations with Indian tribes hereafter there should be no treaties, but agree ments. Technically this plan has been fol- lowed, and treaties are now negotiated with the Indians as treaty making powers ; but this distinction is of no effect; the In- dians do not recognize it, and still insist that they are powerful nations whose chiefs can dictate to the Federal authori.

A Confederation oE all Glasses of Railroad
 Workmen Planned.
 ST. LOUIS, Aug 1.-The Convention of Engineers adjourned last night, and the federation scheme was carried, notwith- standing the protests of Chief Arthur and the conservative Eastern engineers. The effect of the Burlington strike hes been to increase Ahe radical element in the order, and this federation scheme is their pet pro- jeot. Arthur and several other leaders fought hard, but they were voted down and routed completely. The scheme of cooperation is something like this: A grand advising committee is to be formed composed of two members from each of the four brotherhoods. When a grievance against railroad is submitted and a con- f1ict comes, a strike can only be ordered by 8 majority of the Advisory Board and a majority of the four brotherhoods en1. ployed on the line. Each of the brother hoods will remain intact In their organ izatioh, but will cooperate. This plan will be submitted to the annual eonvsn- ton of the engineers, fremep, swltchmen and brakemeg, which takes place in f8w weeks

At home we'll hear the sweetest noteA From prima donnas silvery throats; The finest orchestra will play Concerts and operas all day. We'll hear the grand pianists pound; Lectures and speeches will resound; The greatest actors will declaim, And all the preachers known to fame. We'll hear loved voices from the toml Without spirit" in the room In fact, we need no longer roam, For we'll be entertained at home. All agents who have things to hawk Will leave photograph to talk, And lovers can the question pop With this machine without a stop. Wax figures with tLis thing inside, And with machinery to guide Their life-like motions, will be found In country pulpits all around. So every little church unknown Can have 8 Talmage of its own, With waxen Pattis in the choir To all the rustic souls inspire.
