Sibley to punish tl\o Indians for their barbari^ lies in Minnesota and Dakota, and drive tliein back to the Pocky niountnin plains. Among the many inei tuunufoi tno friok'y expedition against tlio Sioux which are still afloat in Da- | kota. is tin? following: (lis the return | tho camp.; were usually made on the banks of a lake or river, aiul frequently when the men learned where the camp would he some of them would rush forward and have a hath; this iv: 1 up the water and made it unlit ; >; camp );ui'poses. This action so incensed (Jen. Dihlcy that he issued an order prohibiting bathing until the otliccr of the day should* announce that the water had been secured for camp purpose:; and the stock had been - " watered. One flight the camp had been made on the banks of a small lake. Cant. Horace Austin was tho o'llcer of tno day, and he sent a detail to the lake in charge of SorgL B. I'. Chi Ids, now of Mankalo. to see that the general's ^?? order W'"5 obeyed. Chiids saw a man conic dawn to tlio lafce alium, loots at 'tlio water, step back behind u bush and commence undressing. Boon he wars disrobed and walked to the edge of tho water and dipped his foot in it as if to see how cold it was, when Childs | yelled "Halt!" "What is tho matter?" asked the would he bather. Tho sergeant replied the general's orders were mat no bathing should be allowed until tho oliicer of tho day had announced sutficiont water had been scI cured. Tho man remonstrated, and finally said that if Childs knew tno order ho ought to have informed him before ho undressed. "Yes," said Childs, "I knew it. but the order docs not prohibitdisrobing." The man who wanted to bathe was Gen. Sibley himself, and i Childs knew it, hut ho didn't bathe then.?Fargo (Dak.) Argus. Shopper*' llcailocho. Many Indies after an afternoon spent in shopping return homo with a dull headacne, which docs not completely lcavo them until after a night's sleep. This is called shoppers' headache, and i3 becoming moro provident. There aro a number of causes which produce this condition. Dad ventilation of stores, which are crowded with peoplo and goods, producing a foul condition of tho air, is a prolific cause. Foul air lingers about and clings to dry goods especially, and the practico of ilea pirn? remnants and other goods upon Jong tables accessible to the crowds and constantly handled by them, is not conducive to health. Tho strain of looking for hours at different colors, often bright, and tho effort to decide which among tho many articles should be selected, produce a congestion of the brain tissue, which causes shoppers' ljcadacho. Long continued observation necessitates an effort of the mind, which, although perhaps not appreciable at tho time, is a cause of tho disease. Fatigue has a great deal to do with it, fatigue of muscle as well as brain. Hours of languid locomotion and upright position, varied and frequent movements of the head, restlessness of the eyes all produce it. The muscular strain involved in half a day's shopping is considerable, especially where ladies are not in tho liabitof using their muscles very much |W at other times. Fatigue of mind and body is thoeauseof the shoppers' headache.?St. Ixiuis licpubiie. When "John" Toole to Washing. Thcrffnre no laundrymen in China. No linen is worn there.

A Terrific Flj;lit lletwcen n l'ack of tlio llrutoi unit Two Farmer*. The facts have been made public of an occurrence which would not have been believed possiblo by the residents of the neighboring towns. Two men, with their guns and a dog. wero out hunting near Fergus Falls, when they entne across a deserted abin in thn woods in a lonesome^spot about seven miles from the city. On approaching the shanty the dog began to show signs of tear, and finally, with a yell of terror, turned and ran away. The moil wero surprised at the dog's behavior, and one of thorn stepped to tho window and looked in. Tno sight lie beheld was n startling one. In tho middle of tlie floor lay a man with his clothes torn completely off and his body lacerated in n tcrriblo manner. In one hand was grasped nu ax covered with blood, and around him lay eleven huge gray wolves. Ono of tho beasts was not <jiiito dead, and lay snapping and snailing at the newcomers until silenced by a shot from a revolver. In a corner lay tho partially eaten body of another man, who grasped mi empty revolver in one hand and a bloody knife in tbo other. The first man was'still living and soon after lie hail been removed to Fergus Falls and had received medical treatment ho told his story. Ho was William Emory, a farmer. Accompanied by August "Mel lock, he had gone on a hunt, and on reaching the vicinity of theenbin he had heard wolves howling. The two hunters wcro not afraid, for, as a general thing, the beasts will not attack a man, and Emory and Mcllcck thought thuy would try to kill ono or two for tho bounty on their scalps. Emory shot ono, .whereupon tho wholo pack, instead of running away, made a furious attack on tho men, compelling them to run for refuge into tho cabin. Tho door was broken r.o that they could not shut it, and tho snarling hungry brutes followed them into tho shanty, where a desperate light for life ensued. Emory struck one of the animals with his guu, breaking it. and then seized an old ax which lay on tho lloor. But for the death of his companion ho would have undoubtedly come out of the light without serious injury. Mcllcck killed two wolves with his revolver and wounded another, and then began fighting with his knife. Tho animals made a rush at him and ho slipped down on tho tloor, when they all pounced on his prostrate-body, and Emory saw his companion torn to pieces without beinj* able to render him any assistance, as lie was being attacked in thosamo way by tho others. Emory remembered killing five with his ax, and disabling others, after which he fell to tne iu-m- (who exhaustion, am! know no more until ho loiino nnt-.. . i? ^.v ground with llio men pouring water on hl? fnco. llo will ultimately rc eovcr, although one of hi? hands has been amputate;!, the wo!vis having eaten tin; llosh to the bone.

The carcasses of twelve wolves were secured and the murks on tin ir bodies were proof of t!ic terrible batilc which bad nigid i: 1 tb.o lonely cabin. Tlio bounty on their scalps and the value of their skins will suflicc to pay Emory's doctor's bills. These wolves have been a constant menace to fa:mors, liavhig carried oti'a large amount of stock, and on several occasions have clm&cd children, 'l his is probably the last pack in this section, which was formerly overrun with them, and tho farmers will raise a purse for tho injured man, who lias succeeded \u lidding the neighborhood of them. --Minneapolis Cor.

Terrified Farmew Wutelieil Illm as tie , Turned Up the Soil Perfectly . In the northwestern corner of Lower Morion township, Montgomery couni ty, Ph., n terrible hubbub has been i raised by a phantom farmer, tvho is ; | nightly seen plowing in a field. The J apparition was first discovered nlxwt threo weeks ago by a farm hu::d who was returning late from courting a pretty maid. lCmorging from a wooded pathway that ski: t-d an old forest for miles, this rustic was startled to hear a sepulchral voice commanding a team to hf.lt. lie looked in vain about (he place for a moment or two, and was about moving on again when the same sound fcil on his ear. A shiver crept down his spinal column as he heard the croaking of an unseen harness, and this terror was far from beiuc alkived bv the whinnv of .1 horse almost ditvSUy -Mm;?iw-~ tlial moment the now moon stolo over the neighlairing live tops, nnd in its ' miMy light the rural strain plainly saw the - phantom farmer. It was ( clearly outlined against the dark bach ground, and its two hands liold in . steady grasp the projecting handles of a plow. Before it marched a pair of spirited horses. dimly outlined in tho misty light, their 1 icads erect and their eyes Hashing lire as they moved hastily along Tho young man waited another moment to reassure himself, ami was about to take to his heels when plowman, horses and plow suddenly vanished. Then ho, too, lied in wild alarm. At Silas Brown's corner grocery on the night succeeding this the young man. Albeit Cooper by name, told this startling story. .Brown, like many of tho loungers in the store, smiled incredulously, and advised Cooper to "reform." A discussion arose, in which Ifot' words Wcro exchanged, and several bets were made that Cooper was drawing the long bow. The upsnot of the matter was that the crowd adjourned to the alleged sccno of tho ghost's operations to verify or disprovo Cooper's tale. They had not long to wait. Without tho noises that had warned Cooper the night before, the phanton farmer appeared before the eyes of tho seven men who sat upon the fence, or to be more accurate, who almost fell from it in terror. His long white hair nnd heard streamed in the passing wind. No hat was 011 his head nor could any portion of his face !k> seen except the cyrs. 1 ncse snoi out Iroin a height of moro than seven feet from the ground, indicating (hat tho spectral granger was taller than (ho averago of human kind. About his body, winch could not well bo traced, there was a phosphorescent glow which dazzled the eyes of the terrified spectators and shown far ahead of tho steadily moving horses. Tho plow lie ie:mc?\ w.. . J;j- s;;(.>clon framc, but it loastv.1 oil (Tie as easily as a stviuner furnsthonvTr ? waves. On lie came, ilic hoifics s?iur ing to exhale lire, their heads e.rcct and arching, and footfalls as Urm and clear ns any tho wuichers ever hoard. At the corner of the field they turned obediently at a word from their spectral driver, and again passed before the affrighted spectators, who thereupon (leu in haste. On tho following morning a crowd of rustics determined to go to tho (ield and see whether any trace of tho farmer could be found. As they came in sight of the inclosure one of the number exclaimed in astonishment: "I'll ho durned if tho tiling doesn't plow, sure enough." lie was right. One-half of tho lield had been gone over, evidently by no novice. The furrows were not quite so broad ns llioso made by an ordinary plowman, but they were less ragged and mora deep, and were as straight as tlTo most experienced cyo could make t hem. A day or two after the samo group went out to view llic fields again, antl this times they found that tho phantom had finished his work. The owner of the lieid was one of the number, and ho too!: a solemn oath that ho had not turned a sod in the inclosurc.?St. Louis Globe-Democrat. An Old Piano.

A Chicago Man Who Dreamed That B? Dreamed of Committing Roieitle. "Ever have a dream within a dream nnd get the two all mixed up?" asked tlio man at the club whose specialty is dreams. "Well; I had one the other night that has made me think some about it 6ince. 1 thought I was walking west in a mi^ty disconsolate frame of mind and wondering if, after all, life didn't cost pretty much all it was worth when I came to the Madison street bridge. I stopped and looked over tho rail and fell to calculating how it would feel to take a plunge in tho slimy depths, and how much attention it would attract If I were to cliiub over the side and jump. I Iftul always thought that' anybody who evor contemplated suicide was a great fool to ever start for the other world by way of the Chicago river, but i didn't seem to hang quite bo closely to my Tortiun-Tm-j, j was looking down at tho block in a rather friendly way when somebody stopped at tho rail a fow feet away from, me, heaved a sigh, and put his foot up on the lower board. "At a glance 1 saw tho man was a friend of mino whom 1 hadn't seen for several years nnd who I supjiosed to be in 'Frisco. 1 spoke to him and ho turned h-;n. . 1"?-?i? n IVU c?

IIo looked at me as mournfully as tho spirits in tho 'Inferno' did at Dante, and said: " 'I'm going to jump over this rail Into tho river.' "1 asked him what ho Intended doing anything so foolish as that for, and he told mo with tears welling up to his eyee that tho girl ho loved wns dead. "1 sympathized with him with all my heart becauso I was in a precisely similar fix, but I told him ho was foolish and that whilo it was natural for him to fco) like that for awhile lie would soon realize that it was Iho height of folly to Attempt to remedy matters by dodging out of tho world in this irregular and altogether disgraceful fashion. 1 brought ail the philosophy I could muster to beat on tho case and plumped it all at him, but ho never wavered, no shook hondc with me, told mo to walk on and leave him, and turned to look over into the river again. Of courso I didn't comply with Ids request. Tho horror of allowing a human being to rush to death overpowered mo with a shocking sense of realization, and I remember thinking how differently things nfleet persons when applied to others than the same conditions applied to ourselves. "I persisted in my efforts to dissuade tho would bo suicide from his raah act, but he was obdurate, and, finally, seeing that I wouldn't relent, ho made a spring and threw one leg over the ruil. 1 grabbed him to drag him back, A'^d,ll?9n hggan n. struggle. I saw ?QBsall^Ji ' tiffuud of bjp?^ loosened my grip on tfio fillip of Cuty* ni nio over rivcrward and toget'ivffrfnn It seemed like we were center of the earth, and. I felt the cold sweat 6tand out all over mo. Then we struck tho water and?I awoke. 1 held my breath Involuntarily as I went down, which as a swimmer 1 was bound to do, nnd when 1 came up I had an excellent opportunity of testing my ability tc swim with all my clothes on. I saw the people running down the stairs to the dock to help me, and I struck out valiantly for tho shore. Whon 1 reached It a ropo was thrown mo and I was dragged up on tho dock, where the bridge tendei nnd several others prococded to abuse mo for a blankety-blank idiot, who ought to have been left to drown. "I tried to tell them that it was all a dream, nnd that I didn't know tlio first thing about it till I struck the water, but they looked at mo with tho most profound disdain and said: 'Oh, you weakened! You an't got no more nerve 'n a rabbi tr "Then tho bridge tender grabbed me by tho dank neck of iuy dripping coat and took mo up the steps and turned me over to a policeman, Who called a wagon and loaded mo into it. I was rattled away to tho station, while tho officers in tho wagon sworo at mo and tho people on tho streets turned to look after me curiously. At tho station I was introduced as a 'blank blank fool who jumped iu tho river and then changed his mind and yelled for help.' 1 hadn't yelled for help, and I knew it, but I thought I'd let mac pass, mosinucn as i nau oeen in the river. Tho desk sergeant asked me tny namo and put it iu his book with a eiiargo of disorderly opposite, and I was hustled down stairs to be locked up. On tho way down tho officer gavo ma a shove, and I tripped and fell hcndlong down ftvo steps and struck my head. "That was when-I did awako. Everything was Sark, and it took as much as a full minute to realise that I was in my own room, but half out of bed. The part of mo that was in bed was my feet. The rest of mo had fallen out and my head had collided with a'box of books sitting nt my bod's head. Luckily the bruise was on the back of my head, where it didn't 6how.
