months in the center Of their great haunt,
near Port Darwin. Mr.. Spalding showed
me the head and horns of one Of these buff
faloes that made its way eastward in the
direction of Charters Towers, and was shot
there some two years ago. The horns are
most remarkable, being square at the butt
and four inches thick. They rise in a semi
circle, but incline backward, so that the
animals, when they charge (Which they do
furiously), have to put their heads between
their forelegs.
The horns are extremely coarse, CORFU
gated, and of dirty brown color Mr..

Messrs. Palmer and Purcell as to the buff
faloes being very numerous-in many
thousands-Gt Port Essington, Rallles bay

engaged for a number of years shoot

iarly known as mud" buffalo, having
very little hair on their bodies, which are

Troops Number 5000 and the Hostiles,
Including Women and Children, $500.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The situation
as summed up at the interior depart
nent is about as follows:
There are in all about 10000 Sioux
Indians, men, women and children, on
the northern reservations. Of this num-
Der l6, 800 are accounted for, as they are
living on the reservations in peace, and
not taking part in the present disturb
ance. This leaves about $500 men,
women and children to face the earth
works, the howitzers and the 5000 men
under command of Gen. Miles.
The hostile camp is located about sew
enteen miles north of the agency, and
the Gordon of troops surround the hos
tile camp with the exception Of the
south side, the object being to drive the
Indians into the reservation. There is
constant communication between the
hostile camp and the agency.
The hostiles are well supplied with
beef, but luey have no sugar or coffee,
except as they are supplied by the
"fricndlies,' ~ as the reservation Indians
are called. While the situation is re-
garded as a hopeless one for the Indians,
yet it is believed that they haveno inten-
ton Of surrendering. 1t is predicted by
some who are on the ground that there
will be battle on Sunday or Monday,
When the hopelessness of the situation
Of the Indians in fighting against such
odds is pointed out, the only explanation
given is, The Indians are crazy
From reports received at tho interior
department the situation is believed to
be tense, and the people at the agencies
are very much disturbed.

A MUSICAL PRODIGY.
Wonderful GIFT of an Uneducated Girl to
Play ANY Instrument on SIGHT.

Play Any Instrument on Sight.
PARIS, Ky, Jan. 10.-The north end
of this county, Bourbon, is wrought up
over the appearance in their midst of
musical phenomenon in the person of
Miss Ollie Day, Of Robertson county.
Miss Day is an nneducated girl of eigh-
teen summers. The only musical instru-
ments she ever saw are the violin and
accordion, until her visit to Bourbon,
yet she readily performed upon the
piano, organ, colmet and French-harp
with the ease and skill of a master. Not
only can she play the instrumental part,
but will render the words Of 4 song upon
hearing them read once. Her wonderful
gift was first brought to notice i'll a
singular manner.
Miss day was performing upon the
accordion, her fayoTite, when she was
asked, "Can you play the piano. Sac
replied, II guess so; never saw one"
She was thereupOn taken to the instru-
ment, when, after expressions of wonder
and admiration at its size and shape,
she calmly seated herself and unhesitat-
ingly played several difficult pieces A
young lady present picked up Schubert's
Serenade and hummed the tune for her
and then read the words rapidly. Miss
Day at once played it without an error,
and accompanied the instrument with
the song. She can play the most diff.
cult pieces upon hearing them once, and
competent critics declare that her
touch" surpasses any they ever noticed.
The young lady never went to school but
some fifteen months in her life.
