WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...SEPTEMBER 29, 1877. KNOW NOTHING. We confess to a sneaking liking for the brilliant but erratic Pixley, the senior editor of the San Francisco Argentine. He is a scholar, of good impulses but exeercable judgment, and with a mind that years around like a weather-cock in a gale of wind. Every once in a while he gets a new hobby, which he rides beyond the bounds of discretion and harps upon until some other idea takes possession of his rattle-headed pate. But notwithstanding these superficial defects in his mental equilibrium he is clever enough to command respect and honest enough to win encomiums even from those who differ with him. We notice that his last hobby is a bitter opposition to everything foreign and everybody foreign-born. Nothing good, he believes, can come out of Nazareth. At the last election he opposed every candidate of foreign birth, irregardless of his qualifications or of the un-qualifications of his opponent. If the unfortunate office-seeker had the unspeakable misfortune to have first opened his eyes under any other flag than the Stars and Stripes, it was enough to blast him irredeemably in the Pixleyan heart. A close observer will have little difficulty in discovering that this Know Nothing tendency is harbored among Americans to a greater extent than is generally supposed. Nor is it confined to members of any particular political party. Republicans as well as Democrats are imbued with it. But as the despised foreign-born are a political power in the land it would of course be the height of imprudence to openly proclaim Know Nothing convictions. Few people have the hardihood to publicly state their opinions on this subject, as does Mr. Pixley. During the political campaign which has just passed we had the honor of being entertained by one of the candidates with a history of his political career. He dwelt with THE JOINT EXPOSITION. In times past, the Gazette has animated severely upon the controlling spirits of the Southern California Agricultural Society, because of their utter neglect of what should be the chief feature of county fairs, viz., a display of its agricultural productions. Whether our arguments had any effect in determining the powers that he to have such a display this year, is a matter of little import. It is enough to know that they have recognized the propriety and necessity of such annual agricultural fairs, and that competent committees have been appointed to see that the arrangements are properly carried out. The Fair will commence on Wednesday next and close on Friday night. The place selected is the old railroad depot on Alameda street, a spacious building which has been fitted up in fine style for the occasion. The railroad company have agreed to forward and return free of charge all articles intended for exhibition, and we believe the Express Company has made a similar liberal offer in regard to small packages. With all these advantages a county of such boundless agricultural wealth as Los Angeles should make a famous showing. The opportunity is given to make such a display as will direct the attention of thousands to our resources, and will contribute not a little to our material wealth. And it is reasonable to suppose that such display will be made, because a clamor for an opportunity to display their products has gone forth from our farmers for years, and they would be strangely inconsistent if they failed to take the advantage now offered them. The oratorical display will not be the least attraction offered. The address on Wednesday evening will be made by Dr. J. C. Shorb, of San Francisco, on Thursday evening by Stephen M. White Esq., of Los Angeles; and on Friday evening by Prof. Eugene W. Hilgard, of the State University at Berkeley. BY TELEPHONE Supplying the San Francisco Directory.

Nor is it confined to members of any particular political party. Republicans as well as Democrats are imbued with it. But as the despised foreign-born are a political power in the land it would of course be the height of imprudence to openly proclaim Know Nothing convictions. Few people have the hardihood to publicly state their opinions on this subject, as does Mr. Pixley. During the political campaign which has just passed we had the honor of being entertained by one of the candidates with a history of his political career. He dwelt with special unction upon the prominent figure he cut in politics during the palmy days of Know Nothingism. The purpose of his vauntings, of course, was to ingratiate himself with the writer, which he would have succeeded in doing but for one thing. We are foreign-born. That circumstance, perhaps, prejudices us a little when discussing this question. THE RAILROAD MEETING. The probabilities are that the railroad mass meeting to be held in Los Angeles on Monday night will be what is commonly termed "a rouser." Whether this popular indignation at the attitude of the railroad monopoly, and determination to no longer submit to its extortions, is a natural, spontaneous outburst, or whether it is fanned and encouraged by secret agents of Tom Scott, does not in the least alter the situation. It would be a foul stain upon our manhood if we allowed the monopoly in its arrogance to assume the role of dictator, without entering a vigorous protest. And as it is evident that no permanent relief is to be obtained from the evils complained of, except by means of a competing road, the sooner practical steps are taken looking to that end, the better. The public are now in a state of mind to give substantial encouragement to such a project, and it would be well to begin operations while that feeling exists. Be assured that the Southern Pacific managers are not idle, and that they are even now at work trying to stem the current of public opinion and produce a reaction. HEAVY DAMAGES. The authorities of the county of Alleghany, Pa., have been making a careful estimate of the damages inflicted by the railroad rioters at Pittaburg, and their final awards are said to be about as follows: Railroad Company.....$1,500,000 Freight destroyed.....1,000,000 Elevator.....150,000 Keystone Hotel Company.....109,000 Pullman Car Company.....80,000 Private individuals.....199,000 Total.....$2,030,000 We remember seeing it stated that at the time the riot was in progress the citizens of Pittsburg looked on at the destruction of property with open satisfaction, and would render no assistance to check the riot, because the treatment they had received from the railroad authorities had embottled them against the corporation. But the feelings of products has gone forth from our farmers for years, and they would be strangely inconsistent if they failed to take the advantage now offered them. The oratorical display will not be the least attraction offered. The address on Wednesday evening will be made by Dr. J. C. Shorb, of San Francisco, on Thursday evening by Stephen M. White Esq., of Los Angeles; and on Friday evening by Prof. Eugene W. Hilgard, of the State University at Berkeley. The New Senator. [From the Argonaut.] If we could have our way in politics, we would send Judge Wallace to the United States Senate from California. He has many qualifications that fit him for the position. We name them in the order of their importance: He is a gentleman, is an honest man, possesses learning, and has general sense; he is a man of dignified bearing, would look the Senator, and is socially respectable and rich. The Hon. Frank McCoppin would make a good Senator, and we should not regret to have this honor fall to him. He has filled every position to which he has been called honorably, and from our knowledge of him we feel assured that he would fill the position with credit and dignity. Neither of these gentlemen are likely to be distinguished by an appointment to the place. Democracy delights to honor other kinds of men, to elevate material of another character. The time has gone by when the Senatorial office is awarded to men of highest qualifications. It comes from intrigue and political bargaining. It comes from purchases and promises. The man who will not plot and lie, plan and promise, put up primaries and conspire for the election of legislators, is not considered as eligible to the United States Senate. The Democratic party has abundance of good material for Senators, but it will not avail itself of its best men simply because its worst men will crowd to the front; will take rooms at the capital, will keep open house; will use money, and do such things as honorable and high-minded men will not do. After an election secured in this way comes the wild scramble for appointments. Around a Senator so elected assembles a ring. The Senator who secures his place by dishonorable means alienates from him all honest men, while all the low-minded, vulgar rascals of his party gravitate toward him and fasten themselves upon him. Like parasites upon the oak, first they are lifted up by the Senator, then they cling to him and hold him till he dies, and then oak and parsnite, politician and panderer, all fall and rot and moulder together. The Democratic majority is so large that we hope it may select a Senator in deliberation, and not in secret party caucus. There is a great political stake to play for. The next Presidential election will be closely contested. California in the next election, as in the last, may decide the result. There is only one way by which this State can ever be won over by the Democratic party, and that is by honest, manly, honorable, open political conduct. If the Democracy will give us Governors as honest as Irwin Mayors as honest as Bryant, and Senators like those we have named—if it will stop sending low, foreign-born and native blackmards to the Legislature, thieves to the Board of Supervisors, and ignorant bigots to become members of the Board of Education—this State might cast its electoral vote for a Democratic candidate for President. This possibility will become a probability if President Hayes much longer refuses to destroy and remove products has gone forth from our farmers for years,and they would be strangely inconsistent if they failed to take the advantage now offered them. The oratorical display will not be the least attraction offered. The address on Wednesday evening will be made by Dr. J. C. Shorb, of San Francisco, on Thursday evening by Stephen M. White Esp.,of Los Angeles; and on Friday evening by Prof. Eugene W. Hilgard, of the State University at Berkeley.

But the feelings of these foolish people can be easily imagined when they awoke to the stern fact that the law made the county responsible for all losses by mob violence. The taxpayers of Alleghany county will have to foot this bill of nearly three million dollars—a rather expensive bill to pay for the gratification of revenge for real or fancied wrongs. A MONEYED FIGHT. There is every indication that the approaching Senatorial struggle is likely to be what is generally termed "a moneyed fight." Some of the aspirants are men of great wealth, and there can be no doubt as to their willingness to be bled freely in the attempt to secure the prize. While this, of course, is all wrong, both morally and legally, it will afford some of the bucolic legislators a chance to "get even" on their campaign expenses. Masonry in Indiana. [From the St Joseph Herald.] A Masonic lodge in Indiana was presided over by a Master who had an exaggerated notion of discipline. One night he met his lodge in called meeting (not a member absent) to instruct them in the work. Teaching them the use of the gavel, he had just called them up with three knocks, when he leamed too far back, fell through a window to the ground—four stories—and broke his neck. Picked up next morning he was buried decently, but not a Mason came to his funeral. More strange still, no Mason appeared any more in that village. It was explicable. Forty women left willows, 220 children left orphanage, eighty-four merchants left in the lurch with unpaid bills. Twenty years after that somebody went up to the fourth story, broke open the door, and held the lodge, a lodge of skeletons! Strange but true, they had strictly obeyed the orders of the W.M., and waiting for the knocks to seat them, starved to death. Each was standing in an attitude of respectful attention, "looking to the East," and had no pitying citizens taken them down, they would have been standing there still. Fifteen Cent Dinners for Families of Six. [From the New York Sun.] Miss Juliet Corson, superintendent of the New York Cooking School, at 8, St. Mark's place, is circulating free 50,000 little books called "Fifteen Cent Dinners for Families of Six," and she is ready to furnish additional copies to benevolent societies or individuals at the cost of printing and paper. The work contains directions for buying food at the lowest price, and for cooking it economically. She tells as follows how a family can have enough to eat during four days for $1.20: "Put one and a half pounds of salt pork (cost eighteen cents) in three quarts of cold water; bring it slowly to a boil and skim it well; when it has boiled fifteen minutes, put in with it a twooor three cent head of cabbage, cut in quarters and well washed, and boil both steadily for half an hour. After dinner carefully strain the pot liquor, and put it in an earthen pot until an hour before supper. Then put it over the fire, and when it boils throw in it half a pound of well washed rice (cost five cents), and boil fast for fifteen minutes, or until the rice is just tender; try the seasoning, and then pour both broth and rice into a strainer set over an earthen pot or bowl. As soon as the rice drains shake it out into a dish, and use it for supper. After supper strain the broth, and keep it overnight in an earthen pot. In the morning heat it. If it is too salt add a little more water, or season it more if necessary. While it is heating to two pounds of bread (cost six cents), cut it in small square pieces, and throw it into the broth. As soon as it is hot use it far breakfast. Corned beef, fresh beef, and mutton can be cooked in the same way, using cabbage with the corned beef, potatoes with the fresh beef, and turnips with the mustard; for the supper dishes penna beans, and pearl harley, with bread broth for breakfast. The bark Cricket, with 7,400 bags of coffee for Baltimore and New York, has been lost near Rio de Janeiro. Loss, $200,000. Insured. BY TELEGRAPH. Supplying the Destitute. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24. In view of the destination prevailing amount a portion of the population of the city, the Youth's Directory, A.P. Dietz, manager, announces that on application at the office of the Directory, 1417 Howard street, every day at noon, persons in need, especially women and children, will be supplied with bread free of charge. News from Alaska-Alarms in Sitka PORTLAND, Sept. 24. The steamer California has just arrived from Sitka. Chaplain Collins, of the United States army, brings information of the deplorable state of affairs at Sitka, since the withdrawal of the troops from that place. There is not a semblance of law, either civil, military or naval, and no power whatever to restrain the lawless elements. At present there are not more than fifteen white residents at Sitka, besides their wives and children; and to oppose this number are several hundred Indians. Since the departure of the soldiers the Indians have become very boll and impudent. They get drunk and swagger around town day and night, and have no respect for the rights of the whites. Several residents informed Chaplain Collins that they were in hourly fear of their lives and property, and that they intend to abandon the country as soon as possible. The Collector of Customs at that port is powerless and his authority is utterly disregarded. Already the Indians have begun to plunder the Government building, carrying away doors and windows, tearing down and burning for fuel the stockade about the deserted garrison, and there is no authority to interfere and prevent the demolition. Sitka Jack, a leading Indian chief in that Territory, has notified a number of northern tribes to come down to Sitka where they will hold a grand pow-wow about the 1st of October. Among the settlers it is feared this meeting of Indians will be the signal for a general plunder of the town and the probable massacre of the inhabitants. The Government steamer was at that port only a few weeks ago, but the Indians regarded it with the utmost contempt, saying that they could very easily capture it if they desired. A general feeling of insecurity has completely paralyzed the business of the Territory, and unless the Government specially offers protection to settlers it will be totally abandoned. Sonoma and Marin District Fair. PETALUMA, Sept. 24. The Eleventh Annual Exhibition of the Condensed Telegrams. Streams efforts are now being made in Washington to consolidate the friends of the Texas Pacific Railroad in making and from Congress for its construction. A systematic plan of operations is matured, into which enters the subject of the election of a Speaker of the House favorable to the project. A London telegram says: Patiful stories of the condition of the Christian population south of the Balkans are beginning to create indignation in Europe. The dispatch of Ahmed Veltk to Adrianople, at the instance of Minister Layard, has not had the effect of putting a stop to the executions. Italian Consuls are sending to their Government fearful accounts of the doings of Ottoman officials. They may executions and transportation are depopulating Boumelia. The Italian Consul at Tripoli states that 2,000 Bulgarians have landed at Tripoli from Turkish transports, and have been sent to the borders of the desert. A correspondent with the Relief Agency among the Bulgarians sends an account of the hideous state of the province. He is at Cariova, on the southern slope of the Balkans. In this place, out of a population which must have been nearly 20,000, there is not a grown man left alive. For six weeks the place has been at the mercy of the irregulars of the Turkish army. There now remain among the ruins of what was once a beautiful and flourishing town but five or six thousand women and children. These poor creatures hide themselves, as best they may, dreading the outrages of which nightly some of them are victims. They can hardly be said to have shelter, clothing or food, and have sustained life by furtively gathering roots and vegetables from their ruined gardens. The same correspondent, writing about the Gasholfa, merchants of Phillipopolis, and well known in England, who were sentenced to death on a charge of treason, says their case was taken up by the English and American Ministers. Three days before their arrest one was appointed American Vice-Consul, but owing to formalities necessary, the papers only reached Phillipopolis on the 2nd instant. As exaggerated statements relative to the annual consumption of opium by the Chinese in the Pacific States have obtained wide circulation, the Chief of the Bureau of Statistics at Washington furnishes the following official figures: Opium prepared for smoking, imported into the United States during the fiscal year 1877, and on which a duty of $6 per pound was paid, amounting to 47,428 pounds, costing at the port of shipment $502,662, of which 46,615 pounds, costing $494,236, came into San Francisco. During the preceding three years the average value leap for agriculture has been enlarged and improved. Henry Copeland, of Walla Walla valley, has harvested 12,150 bushels of wheat from down to Sitka where they will hold a grand pow-wow about the 1st of October. Among the settlers it is feared this meeting of Indians will be the signal for a general plunder of the town and the probable massacre of the inhabitants. The Government steamer was at that port only a few weeks ago, but the Indians regarded it with the utmost contempt, saying that they could very easily capture it if they desired. A general feeling of insecurity has completely paralyzed the business of the Territory, and unless the Government specially offers protection to settlers it will be totally abandoned. Sonoma and Marin District Fair. PETALUMA, Sept. 24. The Eleventh Annual Exhibition of the Sonoma and Marin District Fair opened this morning under most favorable auspices. It is impossible to give a description of the situation of the Fair Grounds at this early hour, but the activity apparent in the city and at the grounds indicate the best exhibition ever held here. An addition of forty feet has been made to the Western end of the pavilion, and the extra space will undoubtedly be filled to the utmost capacity. Important improvements have been made to the grand stand, and the track is in good condition. Numerous entries of horses are particularly noticeable, and the other departments of stock are rapidly filling up. Every detail of the exhibition seems to have been provided for and the pavilion and grounds present a fine appearance. The races for the week promise to be very interesting. Particulars of the Fire in the Patent Office. WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. The Patent Office fire originated from spontaneous combustion among a lot of non-patented chemical matter stored in the attic on the Ninth street front. No fire had been made in the conservatory nor in the building during the day. The principal loss falls on the Patent Office. The original copy of the Declaration of Independence and the relics of General Washington were saved; also the Franklin printing press. Nearly all the specifications and the original drawings of the Patent Office were saved, and from these models can be reproduced if necessary. Many clerks of the Interior Department, Land, Patent, Indian and Pension Offices were ordered on duty last night, assorting books and papers, and drying those which had been damaged by the water. The military were on guard duty at the building, where they remained until the records and public property were secured. None of the Land Office records were destroyed, but many were seriously damaged by water. The records of the Application Division of the office, which first receives applications for patents, and of which papers no copies were made, were saved. The most valuable models saved those relating to sewing machines, fire-arms, printing presses, locks, etc. Models of reapers, mowers, and various agricultural implements were destroyed. A temporary room will be erected at once. The damage to the building is variously estimated at from $300,000 to $500,000, while that from the destruction of models and other valables belonging to the Patent Office is almost incalculable. The arches which formed the ceiling of the second story, and upon which the floor of the third story rested, are so badly damaged by heat and water that many of them must be torn down. The marble of the outer wall was considerably discolored and cracked. It is supposed that the fire had been smouldering beneath the room, which was not fire-proof, for some hours before it was discovered. Two or three fires occurred in the neighborhood caused by sparks, but the loss was small. The total number of models destroyed will not exceed 60,000. Three days before their arrest one was appointed American Vice-Conan, but owing to formalities necessary, the papers only reached Phillipopolis on the 2d instant. As exaggerated statements relative to the annual consumption of opium by the Chinese in the Pacific States have obtained wide circulation, the Chief of the Bureau of Statistics at Washington furnishes the following official figures: Opium prepared for smoking, imported into the United States during the fiscal year 1877, and on which a duty of $6 per pound was paid, amounting to 47,428 pounds, costing at the port of shipment $502,662, of which 46,615 pounds, costing $494,236, came into San Francisco. During the preceding three years the average value of opium for smoking which entered into consumption in the United States, was a little less than $600,000 per annum. The addition of duty and freight largely increase the cost of this article, which will not exceed $1,000,000 a year. The cost to consumers at retail will, however, considerably exceed that sum. A Cheyenne dispatch says: At Dawson's Camp, forty miles from Laramie City, last evening. Tim Ryan, foreman for Dawson, was shot and mortally wounded by one Charley Cowan. A third party, named Snodgrass, then struck Cowan on the head, felling nim. Ryan then arose, took Cowan's pistol, and beat his head to a jelly, after which he fell and expired. Rutus Hatch, the well known stockbroker of New York, has failed. A Richmond, Ind., dispatch of the 25th says: This morning the Rev. F. C. Haliday and the Rev. Dr. Bayless, old personal friends of Senator Morton's and leading ministers of the Methodist Church of this State, called upon the Senator in obedience to instructions from the South-Eastern Indiana Conference and presented him with a series of resolutions passed by the Conference at their session yesterday, together with a letter from Bishop Haven. The first resolution declares that the Conference regard the Senator's condition as an event of such grave importance as to demand from it formal recognition. The second puts upon record their high appreciation of the eminent services the Senator has rendered the State and nation during the war, which have commanded their high respect and prompted the wish that his life may be spared. The third declares the calamity which has overtaken him is one before which the clamor of parties should be hushed by the voice of the patriot's prayer. The fourth and fifth state that Bishop Haven led the Conference in prayer to God that Senator Morton may be spared; and that two persons accompany the Bishop to this city to present these resolutions to the Senator in person. The Bishop's arrangements prevented him his accompanying them. But he sent an autograph letter expressing his deep regret at his illness and the hope of his speedy recovery. The Committee informed the Senator that the Conference has requested the Rev. J. P. Newman, of Washington, D.C., who was in attendance upon the Conference, to address the Senator a letter expressing the feelings of the Church at his affliction. A London dispatch says: Gen. Grant, replying to various addresses which he received at Sheffield-to-day, referred to the American tariff, and reminded his hearers that the United States had to raise money to pay off a great debt incurred by the war. The revenue from imports was regarded solely as a means of importing that end; that if the United States were to abolish the revenue from imports, foreign bondholders would very soon cry out when their interest was not forthcoming. We got along well enough with the payment of our debt and will compete with your manufacturers in the tin box and each ofthe girls ate two ofthe fish. In a short time thereafter all four ofthe girls were taken sick. Great prostration followed, and one ofthe girls had severe convulsions. A physician was called, and upon examination ofthe sardines he declared that she contained strychine. The lives ofthe girls were saved though had it not been for prompt medical attendance it is said that all must have died fromthe effect ofthe poison thus innocently swallowed. The San Francisco Echo, a staunch and able Democratic journal, has been enlarged and improved. Henry Copeland, of Walla Walla valley, has harvested 12,150 bushels of wheat from 290 acres, an average of 45 bushels per acre. A machine threshed 2,450 bushels of this crop in one day.

In Conkling Preparing Himself. CHICAGO, Sept. 24. The Times' Washington special says that Senator Conkling is preparing an exhaustive speech upon the subject of the President's civil service order. He will not assail the President's motives but will claim that the President has no more right to circumscibe the action of Federal officials than he has to prescribe what they shall think. Mexican News. CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. 25. The voluntary subscription towards the payment of the American debt proved a failure, only $10,000 having been realized throughout the Republic. One hundred and forty deaths from yellow fever occurred at Vera Cruz during August. Charged with Murder. PITTSBURG, Sept. 27. This morning Major General A.L. Pearson, commander of the State troops during the late riots, was arrested on a charge of murder. The information set forth that General Pearson and others, whose names were unknown to deponent, on the 21st day of July last, had command of a certain regiment of State troops at the 28th street crossing of the Pennsylvania railroad. It states that General Pearson gave an order to fire, and by this fire, complainant's father, Nicholas Stoppel, was wounded and died. It stated that deceased was sitting in his own doorway when the volley was fired, and was in no way connected with the crowds gathered at the railroad crossing. General Pearson waived a hearing and was committed to jail. "Traps Baited with Orphans, or What is the Matter with Life Insurance?" is the suggestive title of a book, by Elizar Wright, an ex-Inurance Commissioner, in which he plainly points out the reform needed in life insurance. He says "If the policy-holders only understand their own rights and would act in concert for their own interests, the errors and defects of the present system would be corrected without cataclysm." A white Norway rat has been caught at Santa Barbara. A London dispatch says: Gen. Grant, replying to various addresses which he received at Sheffield to-day, referred to the American tariff, and reminded his hearers that the United States had to raise money to pay off a great debt incurred by the war. The revenue from imports was regarded solely as a means of attaining that end; that if the United States were to abolish the revenue from imports, foreign bondholders would very soon cry out, when their interest was not forthcoming. We get along well enough with the payment of our debt and will compete with your manufacturers in the markets of the world. The more of your merchants and mechanics that go to America the better. Nothing pleases us more than the immigration of the industry and intelligence of this country. We have room for all, and will try to treat you as you have treated me to-day. The General was loudly cheered. A fire at the Ohio penitentiary damaged the property to the amount of $200,000; insured. The Chicago Journal's Washington special says: It is the current talk here, among those opposed to the re-election of Randall as Speaker, that Col. Scott intends to take a hand in the fight and do all he can to defeat Randall, unless the latter pledges himself to assist the passage of the Texas Pacific Railroad subsidy bill. A dispatch from Santa Rosa dated the 26th says: This morning G. L. McCoy, of Healdsburg, attempted to assassinate Judge A. Thomas, a lawyer of this city. The two met on Fourth street, when McCoy, saying "You have robbed me of my wife and property and shall die," or words to that effect, fired a shot from a Sharp's four-shooter, which took effect in the Judge's abdomen. The Judge attacked his assilant with a cane but parties quickly separated them. McCoy was taken to jail and the Judge to his residence, where he is now resting easily. The wound is probably not fatal. Judge Thomas had been attorney for Mrs. McCoy in obtaining a divorce from McCoy and a division of the property, which was the occasion of the attack. A Committee of the Grand Jury of the Third District of Utah having made repeated efforts to examine the records and files of the Probate Court of Salt Lake county, with a view to the ventilation of the illegal divorce business of that Court, and having been refused access to said records and files by the Judge of Probata, High Priest Elisa Smith, who, in addition to his judicial position, is the Adam of the Endowment House, the District Judge found the High Priest for contempt, and ordered the United States Marshal to arrest him if he continued in contumacy. That passage thereupon weakened and the records are being examined." A rich mine of divorce corruption" will, it is said, be opened up. At Camp Robinson, Col. Bradley, commanding the District of the Black Hills, ordered the prisoner confined in the post guardhouse, and Capt. Kennington, the officer of the day, was charged with its execution. The interpreters seemed to anticipate trouble and noticeably absented themselves. Taking Crazy Horse by the hand, Capt. Kennington led him unresistingly from the Adjutant's office into the guard house followed by Little Big Man, now become his chief's worst enemy. The door of the prison room was reached in safety, when discovering his fate in the barred grating of the high windows, the liberty-loving savage suddenly planted his hands against the upright casting, and with great force thrust himself back among the guards, whose gleaming hayonets instantly turned against him With great dexterity he drew a concealed knife from the folds of his blanket, and snatched another from the belt of Little Big Man, turning with them upon Capt. Kennington, who drew his sword and would have run him through but for another Indian who interposed. Many of them were dismantled and were crowding around the guard house door, some protesting vehemently against his confinement, while others coolly insisted upon non-interference. Crazy Horse had advanced recklessness through the presented steel, the soldiers fearing to fire, and gaining the entrance he had a leap to gain the open air. But he was grappled by Little Big Man. This Indian, his name implies, is remarkable both for his small stature and great strength; his death joints would secure him distinction, as well as competence in the arena. Crazy Horse though powerful, was held as in a vice until fissuring his right hand; he was observed thrust a long, keen blade into the man's ear arm of his antagonist; who avoids full force of the blow; by a backwash movement, reversed the hand which contained the dangerous weapon, and once men grasping Crazy Horse as he made a second NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

Olympus wasn't one of yer kyoters in sheep's cloth, what goes a sneakin' among the ewes of the flock, makin' more Blocher animals in one week than yer can wash out in six months by papyrus inter 'em with the biggest hydraniel in the mountains. No; that wasn't his style. He walked uprightly before the Lord, an' was happy as the day was long, with his own comely little wife an' half a dozen little Jumps. He wasn't one of yer high oddicated, rose-water, butter-mouthed sort, Olympus wasn't. He had the gift material, right from the Lord, an' when he unbuttoned his shirt-collar and began to talk in dead carcet, it made a felter think of a string of boulders thunderin' down a ground sluice under a big head of water. Olympus Jump wasn't one of these new-fangled sort of preachers what stand up before you Sunday after Sunday, never showin' up the color of the Word o' God nor givein' you a single mouthful of the bread of life. Not a bit of it! He'd drifted and crevicted all through the Bible, panels' out bushels of chickpeas and scores and scores of great nuggets of gold. With these he was leaded clean up to the muzzle, an' when he turned loose an' began to fire scriptur' into an adjunct, he might've been called the mountain howitzer of God. He was full of the Spirit, an' when he went forth to labor in the Lord's diggins, he allures men business. He was one of them kind o' prayers whose prayin' is just a little sneakin' drizzle that only weds the earth here an' there, washin' away none of the dust of liquity—never caress a single seed of good to sprout or raisin' up the droopin' head of a single wilted plant! Na. The prayer of Olympus was like a cloud-bust on a mountain; it swept down through the dark canyon of ash and sent all the miners therein end over and down the tall-flowers of the devil, till they was glad to grab the fast branch of the tree of life that hung in reach, and haul themselves ashore, high an' dry on the Rock of Ages. Olympus wasn't one of yer stuck up kind of laborers in the Vineyard, as couldn't preach without a morroco-bound, gold-clasped Scripture, and a pulpit as grand as the gates of the New Jerusalem. Not a bit of it! Why, fellers, he'd jist haul his little old pack of house leaves of Bible out'n his pocket, shuffle it up, give it a cut, draal out a text, and then jist hammer him—it's belts out'n all the sinners on Sucker Plat! That was a preacher for yer, and an' we shall never look on his like again! Fill up yer glasses, fellers, let's all drink to him, though he's now safe on the other side of Jordan."
