Blaine, Secretary Of State, has re-
piled to the last letter from the Italian
government. The Secretary does not
withdraw in the least from his orig.

take its course and cannot be hurried;
that idemnity will probably begranted
the families Of the men killed at New
Orleans, in cases where it is proved
they are Italian subjects and entitled

Indian Troubles Brewing.

A dispatch to the Ogden Standard,
dated Eagle Rock, idaho, April II,
says:
There is considerable trouble on
the Indian reservation and q great
deal OF excitement among the people
as to the safety of their lives. Monday
Robert Hull, living north of this
place, and his nephew VIM. Hull, Of
Cache Valley, were returning from
Utah and had camped on the Little
Blackfoot river. They were preparing
their meal when dreaded red devil
who had been filling up on fire water
approached the wagon with q Win
chester rifle in hand, took aim and
fired, piercing the nephew through the
back and heart. He then fired at
Robert as he looked up shooting him
through the head. Both Elen dropped
over dead in each others arms. The
Indian gavea war whoop and flourish
ing his rifle and tomahawk over his
head, disappeared. Fisher, the Indian
agent at Fort Hall agency, dispatche |
the IEdian police with instructions to
bring the murderous Indian in either
dead or alive. They returned with q
dead Indian. He resisted the police
mon and true to the instructions
they sent leaden missive into his
body. They reported to Fisher and
he instructed them and also sent out
the report that the Indian committed
suicide. The remaining Indians how
ever finally found out that no had been
killed and are becoming very warlikc.
The people are coming in for fear the
Indians will murder all the white
people. This morning the stage was
fired upon by Indians, and this after
noon a posse Of citizens started for
the agency, all heavily armed, it being
found that Agent Fishers life is in
danger. A detachment of State mill
tia is located at the place, and they
have been instructed to hold them
selves in readiness for immediate
movement. There are grave fears
! that there will be much bloodshed.
, The posse will hardly reach the
agency until late, as it is twenty miles
off tho railroad.

Herrmann's Orders.

The genius who fills the position of
necromancer-in-o to the Ameri-
can public is possessed of some re-
markable peculiarities. Hermann, as
the public sees him, couldn't have
helped being magician if he had pre-
natally so desired. He was born for
the occult--at least for as much of it as
these degenerate days and the search
light of popular skeptical investiga-
ton allow to remain. The professor is
Mephistophelian in looks and Chester
fieldian in manners. Probably the lat
ter quality has been developed by asso-
citation with kings and princes and
counts and other people of profession
ally polite habits. Hermann is a
joker, however, and does not care how
lofty the mark of his amusement is.
The king of Italy once commanded
the magician's presence on the occa-
sion of court reception. Hermann
went and on his breast wore the blazing
order of Chevalier of Russia, the year
previously conferred upon him by the
car. After the usual feats of sleight
of hand, as finale, Hermann called
the kings attention TO the order on his
breast, made pass over it, and presto,
the Chevalier of Russia wore in its
stead the jewel of Chevalier of Italy.
The order being very exclusive one,
the king looked on in wonder, glanced
at his own uniformed breast, and lol in
place of the missing order of Italy he
wore the insignia of Russian Cheval-
Ter. $50 dexterous a feat deserves re-
ward" said the delighted monarch.
" Take back your jewel and kneel,
Chevalier of the Car" The profess
sor obeyed. "Rise," continued the
king, "Chevalier of Italy as well, and
retain the jewel as a souvenir of me. -

The Marseillaise.

Let me tell you of the origin of The
Nsrseilaise, though some of you may
already have heard the story. France
was in danger, her people were called
to arms, and they responded nobly. In
the house of the mayor of Strasburg a
friendly dinner was going on, at which
men swore to die for liberty against the
allied kings of Europe. Some one
spoke of those heroic songs that stimu-
late the ardor of the soldier, and la
mented because France had not one
such. Rouget de Lisle, an officer of
engineers, was at the table; it was
known he dabbed at poetry and music,
and the mayor asked him to compose a
new march for his fellows. He set
about the work Immediately. The
night was superb; he took down his
violin, played and sung. Air and
words came both at the same time; the
subject transported him. 1t was as if
the soul of La Patrie was passing
into his own, as if through his mouth
liberty was uttering her enthusiasm
and her generous anger. lie wrote, he
sang, he improvised, but it was the
soul of France that dictated. In the
morning six verses were completed,
and, vibrating with patriotic excitement,
he read the " War So, 9 of the Army
of the Rhine "-its first title-to his
friends, who became electrified by the
manly accents. The new hymn was
sent to Luckner, commander of the
army of the Rhine, who distributed
manuscripts of it throughout Alsace,
and it was executed on the public
square of Strasburg. Thence it trav-
eled over France and south to Mar
settles, which town told it to her vol.
unteers, and they sang it when they
entered Paris on the 10th of August,
1892, and took the Tuilleries. That
was how it got the name that will
cling to it forever. 1t was played in
the army, and generals said it was
worth 10000 men. Copies of 1.-THE
Marseillaise were ordered when
acquisitions were made out for weapons.
The aristocratic captain was desolate at
having contributed the part which
"The Marseillaise " had taken in over
throwing the monarchy, for he never
intended his hymn should be a republi-
can anthem. Later on, when pro-
scribed as a royalist, he was fleeing
over the Alps, and heard its strains.
What is that hymn called?" he asked
his guide. The peasant replied: "The
Marseillaise," and it was thus he first
learned the name of his own great
eomposition.-PdriS Correspondent Of
Chicago Herald.

Felt the Lions Breath.

whispered to the other children to
lie still, because we had no place to
hide in, nor was it any use to try to
climb a tree, for the California lion
will climb like a cat. So we saw the
lion finish his meal on our OK. 1t
grew very light, near sunrise, before
he took any notice of us, where we sat
under the oX-cart. AS soon as he saw
rious, wondering expression on his
face, and went all about the cart, look
ing us over, and making a purring
sound. We sat close and had our arms
about one another, but we did not say
word. He then came up so close
that felt his breath on me, and finally
he put his nose against my ankle. |
had no stockings on, only home made
shoes, and his nose felt very strange
and made me expect to be eaten up at
once. But l thought it best to lie
still and not cry out. After what
seemed long time, the lion went back
and lay down by the dead OK, about
hundred feet distant, keeping his eyes
on us most of the time. He sometimes
walked around the OK; then he went
off little way to a spring; then he
came back and walked around the cart.
AT last he lay down again by the OK,
shut his eyes and seemed asleep. The
sun was now high, aud we were very
hungry and thirsty, but when we
moved a little to rest our limbs the
lion opened his eyes and looked very
bad. We lay there under the cart all
the morning, and until about the mid
die of the afternoon, and the lion lay
under the shade of a tree, watched us,
ate some more beef, and went to the
spring as often as he chose. Then
about three O'Clock mother and Jose,
the con, came down from the coast
way, and when they were on the ridge,
they could look into the canon and see
the whole situation at a glance the
lion, the dead OK, the cart and the
three of us huddled together under it,.
Jose ran forward and fired two shots,
wounding the lion, but he got away in
the rocks.-Century.

A Monkey Fireman.

The following anecdote proves con-
clusively that animals do reason. A
friend of the writer owns a monkey,
which answers to the name of JockO."
The children of tie house and Jocko
are boon companions, and of summer
afternoon enjoy froic together upon
the lawn. One day, some one threw a
match down, and the grass ignited,
making little blaze. Jocko saw it.,
stopped and looked, then glanced all
around, and, seeing a piece of plank
not far off, ran for it, crept cautiously
to the fire, all the time holding the
plank as a shield between himself and
the flame, then threw the plank on the
fire, and pressed it down and extin-
guished it. What child could have
reasoned better and done more? Al
though, perhaps, no danger could have
come from the fire, still no one knows
what the result might have been; and
the monkey evidently believed that
prudence is the better part of valor.-
