'Yellow Fever.
Mobile, Ala., July 26 The English
bark K. K. W. Wood has arrived at
quarantine, thirty-six miles below Mo
bile, from Havana, with yellow fever on
board. The second mate, W. A. Patter
son is very ill, and everybody on board
has been down except three men. Two
men died, the last one yesterday morn
ing, and their bodies were buried at sea.'
The captain and two sailors are now
convalescing.
A Woman Speculating.
There are aome men who make it a
rule never to lend any money to a
woman, and say that however honest a
woman may intend to be, she is natur
ally destitute of ideas of business fair
ness, and ungrateful for favors. A Ban
Francisco stock broker bus about that
opinion of his landlady. She was crying
to him about her troubles one day, as
some communicative landladies are apt
to do, and said she wished she was rich.
He asked her how much money it would
take to make her consider herself rich.
Hue said she would be happy with $2000.
So he went down to the 'Change, bought
twenty shares of Consolidated Virginia
mining stock, which was going up at
the time, and held it till it realized a
profit of $4000. This he handed to the
old lady with his best regards. She
wept for gratitude, wanted to kiss him,
and then asked him to reinvest the
$4000 for her. He advised her to be
satisfied with what she had, and warned
her not to speculate in hope of getting
more. Hut she insisted, and as business
was business, he took the job, invested
the $4000 in something that tumbled,
and lost $2000 by the operation. She
was furious, said it was all his fault, and
actually sued him for the $2000 . lost,
though she still had $3000 with which
she had formerly declared that she
would be perfectly happy.
Leadvllle on Sunday.
On Sunday in Leadvllle every store is
open. It is the chief day with the places
of amusement; the smoke of the smel
ters perfumes the ambient air a little
more villainous than usual, if possible,
and the streets are crowded. The church
bells gather many worshipers, but they
are not missed from the thronged
streets. The miners come in from all
directions, from shafts and tunnels and
prospect holes, swarming in the streets,
crowding the corners, filling the bars of
the numerous saloons with a coming
tide of humanity. Many come to buy
their weekly supplies at the stores,
whose clerks know no holy Sabbath
rest; others come to talk over their
strikes and finds, or to bring in their
samples for testing. Crowds throng the
more than a hundred gambling dens,
from whose wide open doors the sounds
of piano, violin and flute mingle with
the shrill voice of the dealer at the faro
table, calling, " Make your bets, gentle
men," and the curses and vulgarity of
the players taint the sacred Sabbath air.
The gambling-house knows no Sunday,
and though the law of Colorado express
ly prohibits the opening of drinking or
gambling houses on the Sabbath day, it
is as dead as though it had never cum
bered the leaves of the Btutue books, and
the polioe stand idly by watching its
violation. Blear-eyed and bloated deb
auchees, in whose besotted lives honor,
decency and manhood have long since
'died, bandy ribald Jests with the lost
. characters who carry the liquor to the
tables. Thieves and pickpockets watch
ing with keen eyes for the victim and
and opportunity mingle with bustling
crowds and Jostle you as you pass.
A Trap for a Mother-ln-Law.
John Wiltee, of "EHzabeth, N. J., dis
liked his wife's mother and forbade her
visiting his home. He occupied apart
ments over a jeweler's store. He
ascertained lately that .his injunctions
were not obeyed by his wife's mother,
but that she was in the habit of calling
while he was at work and concealing
bereelf in a closet while he was at din
ner. He kept his knowledge of these
facts to hlnmelf and secretly removed
the flooring from the closet on Saturday
morning last. When he entered the
house at noon be heard retreating foot
steps, aud an -instant later there was a
scream and a crash. Mrs. WHtse'a
mother was not much hurt, but Wiltse
will have to pay for damage done to
five clocks, and for the repairs to the
celling.
Mistaking msWife for a Dog.
I3itAiK0itD,!Fa., July 28. Ephralm
Miller of Hampton, Pa., has a great
terror of dogs. Recently he and his
wife were returning home from a neigh
bor's, after spending the evening there.
The night was very dark. Miller stop
ped to put up the bars of a fence around
his yard. Mrs. Miller walked on to
ward the house. She wore a white
apron. When her husband started to
follow her he saw what he supposed was
a big white dog running along ahead of
him. He shouted to his wife to look
out for the dog. She became frightened,
and turned and ran back toward her
husband. He could only see her white
apron, which he had taken for a dog.
As this came rapidly toward him he
supposed the dog was about to attack
him. He drew his revolver and fired.
He killed bis wife.
After Many Years.
Eight years ago the wife of the janitor
of a publlo school in Pittsburg mysteri
ously disappeared, and as time wore on
and nothing was heard of her wherea
bout a, the husband mourned her as dead.
She had beeu picked up in the streets,
however, in a demented condition, and
sent to the poor farm, where she remain
ed until a few days ego, when her reason
suddenly returning, she asked for her
husband, which resulted In her identity.
Her reception by her astounded and
overjoyed husband can hardly be de
scribed. Terrible Cruelty to a Horse!
Bradford, Pa., July 28. William
Finch of East Otto had a valuable
yoirog road horse. While driving it on
Saturday he became angry, because,' in
switching its tail to drive off flies, it
brought the reins frequently beneath
the tall. Finch and two other men tied
the horse's feet, threw it down, and cut
out a large piece of the cord of the tall.
When the horse was untied it attempted
to get up. It raised to its forefeet, but
could get no further. Its rear part was
helpless. The animal struggled several
times to get up. It then fell over on its
side and died in a few minutes.

he was elected a delegate to the Chicago
Convention, received an Incendiary let
ter threatening the destruction of his
property in that State if he took an ac
tive part in the impending canvass. A

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. 0., July K, 1880.
Tbe President has ordered that, In addition
to bis dntles as General Commanding tbe De
partment of tbe East, General Hancock shall
assume temporarily, command of tbe Depart
ment or the Booth. This action has of course,
no bearing npon the candidacy of the General,
but, as It forcibly presents tbe fact that the
necessities of the service may at any time
require that he be assigned to duties, In the
performance of which be might be compelled
to Increase or decrease bis political prospects,
It will probably strengthen his determination
to resign from the army.
At tbe Treasury, it is said there will be a
very slight reduction of the debt for the month
of July If any. This Is not because of less
receipts, but of larger payments of Interest and .
other expenses.
Cabinet meetings now-a-days, are not meet
ings of tbe members of tbe Cabinet. Two
only were present yesterday, and one of them
postponed bis departure from the city in order
to be present. It has been suggested lately
tbat,as the stated meetings generally are of no
consequence whatever, tbey be dispensed with,
at least during the hot weather, the President
summoning bis advisers only when there Is
need of advice.
The sad case of tbe Ponca Indians Is now
attracting tbe attention of many who desire to
see justice and humanity exercised in tbe treat
ment of the " Nation's Wards." Tbe history
of this case may not be familiar to your read
ers, and I will give It In a few words.
Tbe Ponca Indians owned by treaty a
tract of land In Dakota. Their claims to this
land was and Is as good as tbat of any prop
erty bolder in this country, and was recogniz
ed and approved by a Senate Investigating
Committee. But tbe Indian Bureau with' no
shadow of law or Justice to favor tbem, drove
tbe Indians off, and compelled them to settle
in a sickly portion of tbe Indian Territory
where they now are. Since settling there one
third bare died from climatic diseases, and 115
determined to enjoy tbe benefits of their lands,
left tbe reservation In the Indian Territory,
returned to Dakota, and on their own lands
have cultivated more gronud than the 400 re
maining In the Indian Territory. The Indians
brought suit to recover their lauds, but their
counsel Is not allowed to communicate with,
nor are tbey allowed the legal favors sbown to
the most abandoned criminals. Tbe Indian
Bureau made Inquiries as to tbelr condition in
the Indian Territory, and received a report
from the Agent that they were happy, content
ed and anxious to remain. Tbe investigation
ended here and the outrage continued. It is
known now, and was suspected when tbe
Agent so falsified tbelr condition, that these
Indians were and are ntlerly broken spirited
and helpless nnder the outrage committed
upon them that the money appropriated to
make tbem comfortable bas been nsed by the
Agent to build floe bouses for himself and bis
assistants while the Indians are compelled to
live In miserable huts that ha has abused bis
lawful authority and established a despotism
among these defenseless savages disgraceful
alike to the. civilization of the age and the
boasted liberties of our government. He has
not stopped even at murder, as npon a slight
pretext be shot one of the Chiefs In hit flies.
Tbe attention of tbe Indian Department has
been called and again to the facts In this
case, but without avail. After a while young
men in charge of the Department will realize
the mistake tbey have tnado.
