Omaha, June 23.?Prominent frontiers? men and army officers express the opi? nion that there will be great trouble with tho Sioux, Cheyennes and Arapnhoes this summer and fall. At least five large war parties have left tho reservations during the last two weeks. The cavalry in this department are unable to keep them on the reservations, through limited numbers. It willl bo impossible for the soldiers to guard the Black Hills and at? tend to the Indians. Washington, Juno 23.?Tho following despatch has been received at the. Indian Bureau from Prof. Janney, dated Camp on French Creek, near Harnev's Peak, June 17, 1875: To the Hon. E. P. Smith: I have dis? covered gold in small quantities on the North bcrid of Castle (/reek, in terraces or bars of quartz gravel. Arrived hero yesterday. About fifteen miners have located camp on the creek above here, and have commenced working. Gold is found from Castle Creek Southward to French Creek at this point, and the de? posits are almost wholly in Cacotah. The region has not been fully explored, but the yield of gold thus far has been quite small, and the reports of tho richness of the gravel bars are greatly exaggerated. On French Creek tho deposits of gravel are very unfavorably situated, the water supply is small and failing, and tho grade too little to admit of tho tailings being carried oft' by tho stream. The prospect at present is not such as to war? rant extended explorations in mining. New York, Juno 24.?Tho steamship Andes, at this port from Maraeaibo, brought further particulars concerning the recent terrible earthquake, which destroyed the town of Cucuta, in Now Granada. From a person who had reached Maraeaibo from Cucuta, shortly before tho steamer sailed, it was learned that tho Ions of life and proporty was much greater than at first supposed. Cucuta and all the surrounding villages within the radius of twenty miles wero completely destroyed by the severity of tho shock. Many serious losses of life and property were also occasioned by the rain and by bands of robbers, who organized immediately after tho shock had passed away, for the purpose of plundering. The custom house and cofieo warehouses, situntod in Los Cachos, were first attacked by tho ma? rauders, but they wero driven off before nny serious damago had been done by them, and forces have been organized in most of the neighboring cities and towns and sent to tho scene of the disorder, for tho purpose of protecting the lives and property of those who had escaped the effects of tho shock. Specie shipments to-day $300,000. Providence, R. I., Juno 24.?A large woolen mill and buildings, contiguous to Mystic Bridge, Conn., wero burned to tlay. New York, June 24.?Judge Donohuo issued an order, returnable Monday, for | a reduction of Tweed's $3,000,000 bond. Counsel claims tho bail excessive and ' unconstitutional. The Court has decided not to open the Bcocher case. Judgo Neilson, after in? structing the jury upon the nature of the ovidonce, concluded with a long resume of the evidence, and the jury retired. Washington, June 24.?Tho Secretary of tho Treasury has called in $5,000,000 of tho fourth series, dated May 1, 18G2, upon which the interest ceases on Sep? tember 24. Probabilities?For the Gulf and South Atlantic States, stationary pressure and temperature, South-west to South-east winds, clear and partly cloudy weather. Tho mails for the "Navy Department from the South Atlantic States have not yet arrived, though they are hourly ex? pected; therefore, the department has no official advices of the existence of yellow fever on United States vessels in those waters. A private letter, received here to-day by an officer of the navy, from a brother officer at Bio, dated May 23, re? ports that the yellow fever was raging at that place, and the number of deaths daily was from fifteen to twenty. During the first half of March, 192 deaths were reported on tho United States steamer Lancaster. Surgeon Denby and Assist? ant Surgeon Fassig died?the former on the 3d of April, at Bahiu, Brazil, but the date of the death of the latter is not men? tioned. There had been much sickness on board of that vessel. On the Brooklyn, several cases of fever were reported, and two sailors died in April. She arrived at Rio on tho 20th of May, and was then reported by the surgeon in good sanitary condition. There were a few cases on the Monon gahela, but no deaths mentioned. When she left Rio, several officers and seamen remained in tho hospital on shore, but all had recovered except Assistant Sur? geon Waugh. It was expected he would soon bo able to start for home. Work on the public buildings at Chi? cago has been stopped, on account of the unfavorable report of the committee regarding the foundation and material. The Indian Bureau does not credit the report that all the Sioux are on tho war-path. They believe that neither Spotted Tail's or Red Cloud's men are engaged in anv warlike demonstrations, and feel confident that if any Sioux are mixed up with the lawless movements, that it is only a few roaming raiders, who are not under the control of those chiefs, and it would hardly be fair to hold the Sioux, as a nation, responsible for any raids or depredations committed by theHe lawless bands.

An Eccentric Russian Count.?It may he perhaps new to many to learn that the late Comto Paul Demidoff, whose wealth was immense, passed for a savage at St. Petersburg. He lived quite alone. He never allowed his servants to handle any? thing intended for him unless they were gloved, and his valets had to wear gloves when dressing him. He even washed the bank notes in a golden vase, ami hung thehi up to dry on a line, as would a laundry-maid her linen, before putting them into his pocket-book. An attaches of the French Embassy on one occasion dined with the Comte, and when tea was served in tho Salon, he was so occupied in a discussion on magnetism*, that he unconsciously placed his hand in the sugar-bowl when handed to him by the servant, and took a morsel of sugar; the Comte called the servant and ordered him to throw the bowl and its contents out of the window; the attachee was the least disconcerted among the consterned company, and when the discussion was over, he quietly finished his tea, and, approaching the window, slowly threw cup, saucer and spoon out, apologizing to tho Comte that ho was not aware such was the custom of the house. That at? tachee is now the new cnibnssador to England. The train boys think they haven't much of an opportunity in this world. One of them tells the New Orleans Picayune that there is but one way in which they can impose upon their em? ployers: "You see each boy is furnished with just so much fruit, so many books and papers, and he is either obliged to show them up at the end of the route or else turn over the money for which they have been sold. The only way it can be done is this: We sell a book, say, to a passenger for a dollar and a half. He roads it and then we give him a new book worth fifty cents for the one he has read. He is generally willing to make the exchange, and reads the new one. This, when finished, he is ready to swap tjpr a ten-cent paper, which paper he leaves in the car when he gets out. This paper we pick up and put back in our pile, having all our books and papers and SI.50. That is about the only show we have: without it. wo could not make a decent living." Firn: in Anderson.?A tire broke out Wednesday morning, about 3 o'clock, in the second story of the building owned by J. B. Cochran?complete loss. The lower story was occupied by the harness shop cd' Hehlman, whoso stock and books were consumed. Senator Coeh ran's loss in building and goods is esti? mated at $5,(1(111; partly insured. At a recent Washington breakfast, fruit was served as the first course, with arti? cles of jewelry enclosed in the stones. Tho ices were in the form of celery stalks and cars of green c orn.
