 Judge Purifoy was seen and in rep.y to interrogatives replied he had nothing to make public. but the rumor that he had wired the governor was incorrect; he had showed several of the bondsmen, who are interested parties the report he had made out.
 Collector Lott was seen at his house, but had nothing to say. His son. Milton Lott. said there was certainly mistake somewhere, as the examiner could not possibly have checked up the books and made out statement in the time he had been at work. Said no such a state of affairs existed as indicated by the credit ed statement made by MT. Purifoy to the governor He further said there had been no conference with the bondsmen and his father so far as he knew He insisted that the governor had given his father until Sept. i to settle, and that set tlement in full would be made at that time.
 Tax Collector Lott was present during a portion of the interview with dis son, but had nothing to say.
 Several other persons were interviewed, but as they withheld the use of their names their statements are not given.

Kickers Cpllsd Down.

Pittsburg, Aug. 1e-There was open re- bellion among the miners at Sandy Creek scamp today. Some fifteen or twenty for ! eigners, who were dissatisfied with ths commissary, complained to Captain May and demanded better food He told them that the man in charg e of the coinmis- siariat was doing albright and they were being well treated. The foreigners then threatened to march and Captain May ordered the deputies to arrest them if they did not keep quiet. This had the desired effect and the foreigners returned to their quarters. There was no trouble at the other camp.

S0ldiers' Beds.

The soldiers bed varies notably in the
different European armies. According
to Dr.. Viry, the following are the prin.
cipal varieties, in which, perhaps, we
may see the reflection OF national char
acteristica In England the bed is hard.
The soldier lies on thin mattress that
rests on canvas stretched over frame.
In Spain the soldier has only straw
bed, but he is allowed besides this pill
low, two sheets, two blankets and q
covered quilt. sometimes even cover
for the feet It is almost sybaritic. In
Germany and Austria he has simple
straw bed with one or two covers,
neither sheet nor mattress In Russia,
until recently, the soldier slept with
his clothes on on q camp bed. but now
ordinary beds begin to be used the re-
suit OF contact with more civilized
countries. After this it cannot be doubt
ed that the French soldier s bed is the
best Of all, with its wooden or iron bed
stead, straw bed, wool mattress,
sheets, q brown wooden coverIet and
an extra quilt for cold weather Thus
the bed Of the French soldier is the soft
est Of all soldiers beds, as that Of the
French peasant is acknowledg also TO
be the best Of all European countries.

the paper asserts that advices show the

probably above the average. In this
connection the Mark Lane Express says
that information regarding the Ameri-
