dian atrocities are simply unmeaning ex-
hibitions Of brutality; that scaIping, for
instance, Is simply a form OF torture. In
that you are mistaken. The Indian be-
lieVes that no man can go to the happy
hunting round-heaven we call it-who
has been deprived OF his hair. Their mo-
tive In scalping a victim Is to carry out
fiendish hatred to its happy hereafter.
Therefore to deprive an Indian of his scalp
is to rob him of his hope of a happy here
after. My men never kill an Indian with
out scalping him, and the Indians know
that. The forty men / will select for this
expedition are unerring in their aim with
the rife. They can shoot sixteen shots in
sixteen seconds, and every ball means a
dead Indian, and every dead Indian means
a scalp, and every scalp means a warrior
deprived eternally of a chance of ever
reaching the happy hunting ground. My
forty men Will walk from here to Fort G.
f. Smith without firing shot"
'Incredible," said Gov Smith.
True" said Capt. Smith.
What was the result?
Forty men walked the go miles from
Bozeman to Fort c. f. Smith. Indians
watched them on every side. BY days
their progress was signalled by circling
columns OF smoke and by night by fire
from mountain tops. But not a shot was
fired When they got within sight of Fort
c. r. Smith the 1000 whooping Sioux who
held the garrison in siege fed and the
forty frontiersmen from Bozeman
marched i'm and escorted the 200 union sol
diers back to the territorial capital with
out the loss of a life. Not a shot had been
fired Not a scalp had been lifted.

COST OF A FRENCH CIRCUS.
Good Ones Are Numerous, But Their
Expenses Are Not High.
IRON the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
In France there were up to a short
time ago. four frst-class menageries-
Biders. Planets, Redenbach's and
Pezon' s-besides fifteen smaller ones.
Each of the four large one represents a
capital of from $4,000 to $4,000, exclusive
Of about forty horses, material, tents,
cages, ETC., which, in all probability, make
the total up to 100000. Pezon's was I'M
fortunately burned out a few months
back.
All the circuses named above have given
ND keeping elephants or camels on ae-
count of their remarkable capacity for
breaking the roofs of the carriages in
which they are transported from one town
TO another. The last elephant owned by
Pezon, while passing In front of the opera
house at La Villette one night, thought
he would like to explore the Cafe de la
Paix he entered 1t and broke half dozen
chairs, and several hundred wine glasses
and china saucers. This little piece of
amusement cost Pezon 500; and during
the last few months that he owned the
beast it ran up bill of $1,000.
I One would think that the animals would
contract diseases and die prematurely on
account of the narrowness OF their cages.
They are all, however, in superb condition,
their names and hair are thick rheuma-
tism does not stiffen their limbs, and quite
a lot of them have lived to the age of 30
>
forth young, which is a very rare thing,
even in the geological gardens Pezon
sold about $4,000 worth of lions In one
year, all of which were his own breeding
The daily expenses of one of these me-
nageries Is approximately $50, made up
as follows: Personnel $40: food, 1880;
light and rent. from so to $25. The star
is counted under three distinct headings:
Ring, orchestra, and management. The
seven or eight ringmen are charged with
the care of the animals: they drive the
teams, and take 1t in turns to keep watch
at night. They sleep among the beasts,
and some even in the cages The wages
of these men are from $ to $3.50 a week,
and the foreman of the gang gets $40 a
week. The musicians get $1.25 day,
while the bandmaster gets $3.50, and the
manager the same as the bandmaster.
The lighting is usually by electricity.
The cost of the lighting for one evening
Is from 81 to lbs per lamp, according
to the locality; but it is also necessary
to include the installation of the wires
each time the menagerie moves. This
comes to about $50.
In Paris rents are very high. The price
is fixed by contract by committee named
by the municipality and chosen from
among the inhabitants of that quarter.
II generally amounts to about $3.50 for a
fortnight.

PHILADELPHIA First In.

The BOurse building in Philadelphia
which extends from Fifth to Sixth
Street below Market, was opened with
public ceremony on the last two days
of the past year. 1t is an immense
building where it is designed to have
offices OF banks, manufacturers, and
commercial exchanges all in one build
ing, and exhibitions of their goods for
the convenience of purchasers and trad.
ers. 1t is the biggest building of its
kind in the world and marks a notable
event in the commercial history of Phil.
adelphia. Several addresses were made
at the dedication. John F. Lewis, the
solicitor of the corporation, in his adj
dress gave the following historical
events for which that famous city is
noted.

Not Ruined.

The Standard editor who claims the
wooden manufacturers are being ruin
ed by the Wilson free trade tariff,
which is far from giving free trade, as
it gives an average protection of 4l'f5
per cent on the value of goods in fore
ign countries, should read the report OF
the American Wool and Cotton Reporter,
which states that 81 new wooden factor
les have been started in 1895, an in
crease OF 16 oven 1894. Men don't in-
vest their money and build new factor
les when the old ones are being ruined.
Postmaster General w. l.. wilson,
author of the Wilson Tariff bill, has
received a letter from Frank Wood
man, proprietor Of Kanawha wv. va
wooler mills which says: "In these
times, when you and your tariff bill are
the victims OF so much abuse, 1t occurs
to me that you may be glad to Lear OF
a West Virginia wooden manufacturer
who does not pretend to be ruined.
Our profits on the business of 1893 are

better than they have been at any time

tariff legislation now pending will not

On Tuesday in the U. S. Senate MI.
Vest spoke of the wool schedule as be-
ing the chief element of vitality in the
protective system of the Republican
Party, and said that he had voted for
the Wilson bill because it provided free
wool, And he asserted that free wool
had done more for the wool growers
and for the wooden manufacturers than
II legislation ever enacted by Con-
gress. The price of wool had increased
under the Wilson bill, and the wooden
mills had had a year of prosperity such
as they never had before. So far from
the Wilson bill having, as charged,
''assassinated" wool, the prices had
gone up. and 40, 900, 900 pounds of wool,
foreign and domestic, had been consum-
ed in 1895, by American WOODEN manu-
faeturers-more than ever before. lie
had a table, he said, which showed a
vast increase in every department OF
the wooden industry. Aud the best of
all was, he said, that wooden clothing
was cheaper now than ever before, so
that free wool had been q ~benefaction,
not only to the wool growers and WOOL
en- manufacturers, but to the poor and
humble.
There never had been so good an ex-
application of the unquestioned truth
and correctness of the Democratic posi-
ton on the tariff as the wool schedule.
He knew that the signatures of wooden
manufacturers would be got in favor
of a duty on wool, but accompanied by
a compensatory duty on wooden goods.
There was ''the honey in that hive;

The Legislature.

The New Jersey Legislature will
meet in annual session next Tuesday
when there promises to. be a lively
scramble for the offices. Senator Fcs-
ter NJ. Voorhees,, OF Union, the young
reformer claims the Office of President
of the Senate and is entitled to- it by
eminent service and ability, but as the
Republicans now own the State and all
the fairness thereof, there is no need OF
putting such an independent man to
the front as Mr.. voorhees, and Senator
Lewis Thompson, of Somerset, an old
Sewell ringer, is mostly likely to get
put in command. Senator Stokes, OF
Cumberland, is working hard for Voor-
hees while Senator Rogers, of Camden,
is hustling for Mr.. Thompson.
Senator Ward has declared in favor
of Thompson for President of the Sen-
ate in accordance with a promise made
last winter,
There is a hotter fight for Speaker OF
the House being wsgei between Assem-
blymen A. +. Skinner, OF, Essex, and
L. F.. Derousse. of Camden, Both
claim a majority of the eaueus vote and
an election, but the Essex man is likely
to get left as he has not the solid dele
CATION from his own county supporting
him, while all the corporation lobbyists
are working for Derousse. AS Camden
rarely gets left Derousse is most likely
to command the Assembly and make
rich picking for the lobbyists.

Secretary CARLISLE has called for q
loan of 100000 GOD in gold in exchange
for bonds. The foAy of u financial
laws may be seen wen we state there
is now about sl70 10000 in the U. S.
Treasury. The people cannot take the
bonds because the call is for gold only
while the people only have greenbacks,
silver certificates or bank notes. The
bankers who have accumulated the gold
will get The bonds. The paper dollar
in u pocket would only be worth fifty
cents if the government does not get
this gold. The eason the President
has to borrow this is because Congress
will not change the laws as he has ask
ed them for two years to do "a. Don't
blame him but Congress, who by not
acting, is favoring the gold men, while
the President is acting in the peoples
interest.
