About two o'clock on Friday morning tho wind veered lo tbe north went. The waves then became chopped. Houses were washed nwuy or tumbled to pieces. The wind to wards morning began to lull a little, the water getting lower until the wind veered north.

The policy agreed upon as best calcula Led to advance the interests of the party in the present Assembly is a continuous de mand for a plebiscite, which will leave the final derision as to the form of government in tho peoples hands.

THE GREAT IN MAN FAIR j Events of the Second Day—Races of' Indian Girls —Novelties of the Ex hibition. Muskagce, Indian Territory, September 10.—At the Indian International Fair to day over three thousand persons were present. The first prize in racing lor In dies was awarded to Miss Mary lirouiar, a Cherokee. There were seven entries. The second prize was contested for by a color ed delegation, thirteen entries, and ivo. warded to Miss Jatie Hawkins. The race for the third prize was ridden by three full-blooded Indian ladies—Wahahn, a Comanche; Mineyea, a Cheyenne, and Ashaha, a Comanche. They rode in na tive costumes, with Dowi. quivers and full feathered iron-pointed arrows slung over theii shoulders In their gay blankets a"-' shawls, and riding in thfe manner of their male companions, they attracted gr. at at tention. Indians from the plains hud been selected as judges, but when the riders were brought up to tho stand to receive the award the judges declined to get, fnar ig that their relationship might prejudice ihcir deci-i r n. Other judges were substi tuted, but thoy failed to decide upon the first trial, and tho contestant* were ro quired to exhibit for a third tirno, much to the delight of the spectators. I'U prize was finally awarded to Alineyea, u Chey enfte—the yot,ng wlfo of McKuslter, an in . terpruter.

HIGHEST Plllt ES P i nil l of (Jrain, and country Produce inkiii in . < "" change far guQdt, be jmitjisjju, A Mu mo t* Ggrsxa.—This story of the unexpected suecees of n Michigan inuii who won Luring for water is told by the Murine City (Michigan) Gazette. Thu scene waanbout four uiiloa west of lliut place. Mr. Jiamph liahti who live* iwiine three or four tulle* vest of Murine City hurt heen for gome lime engaged in sinking an artesian well. On JMon day night the linger had {mite(rated to a depth of 125 ft, and the neat morning an air or gam-hiuiiber was reached. Then occurred a phenomenon which the hy • tandem will not he likely soon to for get. In the twinkling of an eye, upon the removal of the auger, the wooden tnhlug shot out of the well like a stone driven from u catapult, followed hy a volume uf gaa, wuter, gravel and mud that rv*e fully 2ta) feet iii the air, while the trembling earth, the roaring turrrnt and the descending debris inude Mr. Ilalin ami hi* eo-laborers think they •11 ait at ruck the region* infernal. Ktonew j weighing from ten to twenty pound* < re projected into the air, and some of tin-in fell trashing through the r>wifof I .Mr llahu'a houae near hy ; in fad, the I family vu re obliged b> a--k nhelter at a 1 neighbor's, for hntnan life was not safes laomeut in the farm hout. In the neighborhood of Mr. llahn's farm a -tone, largo or Mindl was rarely found, but now thoy can be taken away by the carload. The heavy log chain binding the derrick was i ut by the flying missiles into dozens of pieces, anl one of the tim bers w,v* blown away as by the breath of a cyclone. The discharge of mud and water soon began to overflow the fields and In-ar rain upon tbe poor man's crop*; it was as if a water sjmut bad burt, and the flood* of heaven let loose. For eight or ten hours this extraordina ry well kept emitting mud, water, gas and stones ; all around, on field, barn ami house, had settled a leaden hue ; the corn was Lrckcn ofl' and uprooted hy the flood ; the bouse and barn were , riddled by fulling stones; destruction | was visible on every side. It was then noticed that the subterranean monster was pretty well blown ; and although it ■till kept up a furious howling, its force was sj-ent. It is estimated that aome i-ight hundred cubic yards of clay and Ixiuldcr* were cast out of the well. Hun- , ircds have been out to m-c it and bun trcds more will probably go.
