No word has yet been received
from Capt. Fisk and his beleagured
wagon train. The last report left
them surrounded by hostile and
well armed Indians. On Sept. IL
the force under Col. Dill, 900 men,
left Fort Rice for their relief. This
force will reach Capt. Fisk in eight
days, which would make their ar
rival fifteen days after the date OF
the captain S letter, which said he
was able to resist the Indians for
twenty days. The Minnesota por-
ton of the relief consisted of 100
mounted men from Brackets bat
TALON, 100 cavalry from the Second
Minnesota, and 200 infantry from
the Eighth regiment. Gen. Sully
is waiting at Fort Rice for the re-
turn of the relief party.
A member of the Minnesota bril-
gade with Gen. Sully, says of the
''Bad Lands; ''To attempt to cross
these volcanic sierras with an army
and it's cumbrous transportation,
in which the foot of white man has
never travelled, seems almost i'm
possible, and but one of the hum
dreds of Gen. Sully's scouts, con-
sidered the passage feasible. He is
a noble genius of the Blackfoot
tribe, was familiar with every pass
of these fearless gorges, and he
was willing to risk his life on the
success of the attempt.

Canada or other parts unknown
since the announcements that draft

order from the governor general Of
Canada which shows that these
skedaddlers have only jumped from
the frying pan into the fire. 1t is
that ''all persons from the federal
states of America who have taken
refuge in Canada since Aug. /,
1861, and are fit for the perform
ance of military duty, must report
Immediately for enrolment into the

government. All persons falling to
comply with this order will be sub
ject to summary arrest, fine and i'm
prisonment. Refugees and exiles
must lend their aid to strengthen
the government giving them pro-
lection.
There is a great row over the
question of colored children attend
ing the schools. Inspector RamaIey
reported to the board last evening
that there were seventeen colored
children in the Adams school, and
many parents were taking their
children away on that account. It
also led to many fights between the
white and black children. Supt.
Mattocks stated that under the law
they cannot be excluded. Inspector
Combs alluded to the fact that there
was formerly a colored school in
the city, and introduced a resolu-
ton ''That the committee on schools
be authorized to open a school for
colored children, if, in their judg-
ment, sufficient number be found
in the city.

A new stage route is about to be

CITY OF SEOUL.

Where Russia and Japan Seek SUI
premacy in Province of Chosen.
Seoul, the capital of Chosen, Is built
amid a network of hills Is miles from
the sea. 1t Is an ancient walled city,
fortified in the strongest way by smells
that would drive any but an Asiatic
army forthwith into the ocean. 1t is
poor In appearance, but rich in fleas.
On autumn nights tigers frequently
contest the right Of way with belated
pedestrians, and this is the chief rea-
son why one has the entire street to
ones self in a moonlight stroll after 8
o'clock. Metaphorically, one can scarce
ly see the town for the bald, Dubious
and, bullet-headed Buddhist priests who
fatten on the superstition of the pop
ulace and lead licentious lives in the
adjacent monasteries. Barring an oc-
casiOnal court function marked by
street professions, Seoul is triumph
antly devoid of sights interesting to a
traveller. The streets lack entirely
those picturesque characteristics of a
Chinese or japanese thOroughfare, and
vista across the Korean housetOps is
one of appalling monotony. One seeks
in vain for attractive souvenirs. In
the small shops of Seoul Japanese
beer, matches, cigarettes and cheap
crockery form the chief stock in trade,
while long-stemmed Korean pipes and
metal banded Korean knives are of
fered in the most pretentious shops.
Here, likewise, can be had the really
unique Korean fans, made of silk or
paper, finished in oil and covered with
curious native designs. These fans are
dipped in water before they are used.
and the little breeze produced by them
is astonishingly cool.
The wall surrounding Seoul. from
which kites are ever flying, is but a
pocket edition of the great Chinese
wall that leads down to the sea at
Shanhaikwan. Piercing this Korean
copy are the city gates-picturesoue
assageways-which are promptly and
lrrevocably closed with the setting of
the sun. The west gate will be en-
tered by the tourist on reaching the
capital from Chemulpo, and should he

A Thrilling Rescue,

An amusing story is told of an old
seaman on one of the United States
cruisers in the North Atlantic squad
ron. He was not person of wide af-
fections, but he had a warm place in
his heart for young ensign who had
been kind to him in many little ways.
One day a landsman fell from the
rigging to the water. and as he could
not swim he would have been drowned
but for young officer who sprang in
after him and held him up till assist.

Later the young officer received a
complimentary letter from the Secre
tary of the Navy. Every one rejoiced
but the old seaman; he coveted the let
ter for his ensign.

"wag the dog" The corn and the
wheat of the country are grown here,

West is also beginning to make its
presence felt in manufacturing. They
make the agricultural implements
with which the world tills its fields,
and not long ago the writer heard an
Eastern shoe dealer say that he could
get better and cheaper shoes from
Ohio than from Massachusetts. These
are only few of the straws that show
which way the wind Is blowing.
The Middle West is still inha bited
by a pioneer people; they have been
SO busy getting things going that they
have had scarcely time to acquire all
the refnements (sic) of the East, but
they are doing their best. 1t Is true
that no Western football team has yet
succeeded in downing the elevens of
the Eastern universities; still we have
reason to believe that Western colleges
are fairly efficient, and turn out men
whose scholarship Is not unworthy.
When we have a great educator say
ing that the public schools of Indian
apolis are better than those Of Boston
the West need not greatly lament its
savagery, nor resent the occasional
cOndescending smile which comes to it
from the Alleghanies. The East must
do not mind. They go on building
schoolhouses and roads and making
their cities beautiful.
Here is a little story which may
serve as an apologize. 1t is of a New
Yorker who called a Missourian pro
vincial." you are the provincial"
was the retort. Everybody in Mis-
souri, knows all about New York, but
mighty few people in New York know
anything about Missouri" l suspect
that the man who made this tale was
a New Yorker, and that his hearers
considered it a joke. l leave my read

home ideas from the outside world,
and turning them to account in her

love the West less, but that they are

PhiIadeIphia's Potato Patch.

An adaptation of the Pingree potato
patch idea is said to have met with
success in Philadelphia. 1t Is in
charge of the superintendent of va
cant lot farming" His annual report
shows that the utilization OF vacant
lots by partly disabled and decrepit
or by otherwise idle people has
brought good returns. Over 5000 peo-
pie, including 140 orphan children,
were given employment on these va
cant lots last year and brought re-
turn of $500 on each quarter-acre
garden at a nominal expense of 5000,
each dollar invested In instruction,
tools and seeds yielding a return of
from So to ST. The usual obstacle in
the way of success of this scheme has
been to find people who were willing
to make use of the opportunities Of
fered.
