Two CITIZENS of Chicago have re-
turned to this country after an en-
forced absence OF twenty years.
When they went abroad in 1872 they
embarked in extensive financial trans
actions, making the Bank Of England
their base of operations. After a
brief period Of prosperity their ca
reers as tinanciers were abruptly ter
minated, and they were compelled to
resort TO the business OF Oakum pick
ing, which was not so. agreeable as
bank plucking, though attended with
less risks They would be picking
oakum at this time If it had not
pleased the British Government to
grant them tickets-of-leave, which
have enabled them to secure greatly
needed recreation. 1t is possible, of
course, that Messrs- George and Aus
tin Bidwell have sincerely repented
of the crimes which condemned them
TO penal servitude for life in British
prisons. All things are possible, and
their repentance may be included
among the possibilities. But moth
ing in the conversation OF the Bid.
wells points to penitence. Austin
Bidweu is reported as even boast
ing of their crimes, and he take:
pride in the fact that "they taught
the great mOneyed institution OF the
enemy of their country a lesson" Ne
one certainly would desire to inter
fere with honest efforts by these meI
to accomplish a reformation of theil
lives, or to atone as far as possibl,
for the mistakes Of the past. But i
is not out Of place to suggest tina

no harm by being a trifie more mod

which have made them notorious
An affected modesty, no matter hOV
patent its insincerity, would becom

which they indulge.

IT Is Absurd.

KNeFIstEA, o. T., April 15.-The reports
that all the best lands of the reservation have
been taken by the Indians is absurd. The
Indians located along living streams where
there was more or less timber without re-
gard to the character of the land, and in
many instances completely overlooked the
finest bottom lands for allotments of inferior
rough lands to be near their friends, for it is
Indian like TO be located by families and as
nearly together as possible. This is from
Official sources. An Indian is not a farmer
and has no desire TO become one. Wood and
water, aud mighty little at that, is all an In
dian requires or seeks, and he would prefer
rough lands, where the splendid blue-sten
grows, than the bottoms with less succulent
grasses, for he wants pasture, and as he Ii
not permitted to sell his land for twenty-five
years he does not choose his allotment with &
view to speculate.

One Hundred and Twenty-Five
Lives

JACKSON, MISS. April 15.-The water in the
Tombigbee river is now falling. The num-
Der of drowned has reached 125. When the
waters have subsidized entirely it is thought
that other bodies will be discovered. 1t will
be several days yet before the river gets inside
its banks. In many places it was upward of
ten miles wide. The loss to both life and
property has been greater by far than any
one at FIST believed could be possible.
Mounds that have never before been over
flowed were under six and eight feet of water.
To one of these which had never heretofore
been overfi0wsd Mr.. Evans carried 200 or 300
head OF stock, including several head of
mules and horses. The mound went several
feet under water and all were drowned.
Houses in numbers were swept away like
so much chaff before a whirlwind. The
humber cannot be even estimated until the
overiowed districts get into communication
with the outside world.
The water is also falling in the Big Black
river and the fears expressed for the hne
bridge of the Alabama & Vicksburg railroad
are allayed. The worst may be considered as
over.
One of the severest losses will be the dam
age done to the crops. Ali work put on them
will be entirely lost. In the overlooked dis
tricts many farmers had almost finished
planting both corn and cotton.

Mutlnv In Tennessee.

Coal CREEK, Tenn, April ia mutiny is
the latest thing in the camps Of the Army of
the Republic, stationed on the mountain
overlooking the convicts stOckade and works
of the Knoxville Iron company at that place.
Twelve priYates have been holding little
secret meetings, and they formed a clique
called the dirty dozen,' with documents
drawn up swearing allegiance to one another.
An attempt was to have been made to over
power the guards and hang two of the non
Commissioned officers, who, it seems, had
won the dislike of these rebels.
One of the men weakened and gave the
whole thing away to the officers, and now
eleven of the twelve are IN chains, under
heavy guard, awaiting court martial.

Clash Between Cattle Men and a
Governor.

DESvER, Col, April 16.-Some tune ago
Governor Barber, of Wyoming, issued de-
cree prohibiting the shipping of cattle from
New Mexico and Texas into Wyoming, by
train, to be unloaded there and driven over
land to Montana. Southwestern cattle men
have been trying 10 induce him to resclnd
this decree, but without success.
The stock men have held counsel together,
and have resolved to despite the governor OF
Wyoming and his militia, to transport their
cattle by rail to Oren junction, on the Union
Pacific, or some point the Burlington,
and to drive the remainder of the way into
Montana. If the governor attempts to inter
fere in this plan, the courts of the states will
be appealed to, and the governor will be
mandamused into inactivity.
The cattle owners are almost desperate IN
the matter, and declare that under no cir
cumstanees ought the governor to INTERFERE
with the movement OF cattle.

Twisted Wires.

KANSAS CITY. No., April ia Chinese
puzzle was what the telegraph system in the
great range of country to the Rocky noun
tains, west of the Missouri river, was turned
into by the wind.
Rain, snow, sleet and terrible winds played
havoc with the wires. Tangled, broken
strings were patched into temporary circuits,
where possible, bnt the scanty facilities they
eked out seemed far more of a heart-breakeI
to the struggling operators and wire-men
than an adequate outlet for the huge accumu-
lation of private messages and newspaper
dispatches.

Petards in a Procession

was public procession of worshippers, and
priests bearing religious emblems and relics.

confusion the villains who threw the petardi
made their escape.
A number of the prOcessionists were more
or Less injured by the explosion, but foTtu

procession originally came, and offered VI
thanks for their escape from death.

Preparations for Kansas Veterans.
WAsHRGroS, d. c., April 16.-Hon. A. R.
Greene, department commander of the Grand
Army for Kansas, has been very busy secur-
ing quarters for the Kansas boys who will
attend the encampment next September. He
was taken in charge by the district commit
tee on arrangements and after being shown a
number of halls and buildings, suited for
barracks; he selected two school buildings
| located near the center of the city. These
will accommodate about 600 comrades and
should II appear later on that more room Is
/ needed, arrangements have been made with
| the committee to meet the emergency. De
| partment Commander Greene has secured
| for himself and staff rooms at the Oxford,
/ located at the corner OF Fourteenth street and
/ New York avenue. 1t is q splendid location,
| elegant rooms, and will certainly give salts
faction to all. This will be the headquarters
/ for Kansas.
Four Kansas comrades were appointed
/ members of Commander Greene's staff. They
/ live here for the present, but belong to Kan
/ sas posts. They were added TO the stan for
/ the purpose of looking after matters here,
/ and will be relied upon to attend to detail
arrangements as the time approaches for the
encampment. Their names viii not be made
| public until appearing in a general order
| from the department commander. The stan
| will be composed of about twenty-five men,
mounted, and some of the arrangements for
this have been completed
Commander Greene assured the Washing
| ton committee that he would have the finest
color-bearer to head the Kansas column down
| Pennsylvania avenue found in the line. He
tells story which he says has not reached
| print.
| While he was being congratulated at Atchi,
son over his election as department com,
mander, a man six feet five inches high came
| up to him and asked for a word. He said he
had carried the flag on a number of battle
fields and marched down the avenue with il
at the grand parade in '65, and the only thing
he asked now was that at the encampment
he might be allowed to head the Kansas col
uInn with the colors, and Greene sized him
up as a magnificent looking fellow and al
once caught the idea of beating the Other
states on color bearer and promised him the
distinction, and the fellow, with tears
thanked him and promised to be on hand.
Commander Greene estimates that ] ,20(
comrades will be in line in the parade, as he
expects all here to march down the avenue
again
