In the council yesterday the Rosebuds boldly charge that the Ogaliallas have committed as many crimes as they had themselves.

The collection of arms has been very unsatisfactory only 104 having been given up. The news of the murder of Few Tails and four of band and the wounding of his wife has also tended to inflame the Indians. It was discussed in yesterday’s council and denounced by all factions.

If the agreement made | is adhered to, it means without much l doubt that there will be no trust, for Detroit is the stove-manufacturing center of the world, and a trust without representation there would really be no trust at all.

Oglesby is for the second time in his life the candidate of the Republican party of Illinois for a seat in the Senate of the United States.

FOREIGN GOSSIP. Prof. Koch's report describing the composition of his lymph is comparativejly brief. It says the lymph consists of a glycerine extract derived from the pure cultivation of the tubercle bacilli. Prof. Koch says: Since publishing, two months ago, the rer suits of my experiments with the new rem-. " edy for tuberculosis, many physicians who received the preparation have been enabled to become acquainted with its. properties through their own experiments. So far as j I have been able to review the statements ' published and the communications received by letter, my indications have been fully and completely confirmed. The general consensus of opinion is that the remedy has a specific effect upon tubercular tissues, and is. therefore, applicable as a very delicate and sure agent for discovering latent and diagnosing doubtful tuberculosis processes. Regarding the curative effects of the remedy,, most reports agree that, despite the comparatively short duration of its application, many patients have shown more or less pronounced improvement. It has been affirmed that, in not a few cases, even a cure has been established. Standing quite by itself Ts the assertion that the remedy may not only be dangerous in cases which have advanced too far—a fact which may forthwith be conceded—but also that it actually promotes tuberculous process, being therefore Injurious. A violent snowstorm prevails in Madrid, and the weather throughout Spain is extremely cold. In the Malaga district jackals are playing sad havoc with the flocks. In fact, the jackals are appearing in such numbers that they are terrifying the peasants. The snow in the northern sections of the country is already five feet deep in many places. , FRESH AND NEWSY. The British steamship Yoxford has arrived at Baltimore, having on board the rescued crew, twenty-two-, persons, of the British steamship Carlton, which foundered at sqg. The steamship Oceanic, which has just arrive*in San Francisco from Hong? kong via Yokohama and Honolulu, made the passage in seventeen days and six, hours, including stops, which is the fastest time on record for trip. Several days ago Colonel E. J. Po-, cock, of the Seventeenth Regiment Ohio National Guard, tendered to the War Department the services of his command in the Indian trouble. He has received a dippatch from Secretary of War Proctor' saying thd necessities of the campaign were not so pressing as to require the presence of State troops. Iquique (Chili) papers which have been received announce, that when the Chilian navy revolted against the GovI erqment, it was expected that it would i be seconded by the troops in Antofagasta ■ and Caldera, but the soldiers remained | faithful: Several prominent members ; of Congress are said to be with the revI plutlonists.

i R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of ’'trade says:

| How far the situation and prospect may be changed by the passage of a .Free Coin- ; age bill by the Senate is as yet mainly a I matter of conjecture. Reports of the state of trade at different points reflect mainly a | prior to that vote, ’and show gen- , enal improvement in the volumy of business, easier money markets, and a more cheering outlook. The exports of merchandise heavily exceed imports in value; at New York for January thus far the increase in exports over last year has been 81,400,000, or about 12 per cent., while the imports here show a decline of $2,900.I 000. or about 15 per cent. The preliminary reports of exports of cotton, breadstuffs. I provisions, cattle, and petroleum in De- | cember were almost unprecedented. Hence i it appears that the excess of exports in Dei eember was very large in spite of the de- ! cline in movement of breadstuffs which ■ higher prices tend to prolong. For the I last week, With wheat 1" cent higher, I corn and oats practically unchanged, and | cotten three-sixteenths higher, exports of i whjeat have been only about halt of last I year's, of flour less than a quarter, and of j corn only one-eighth, whpe the exports of cotton show a decrease for the xjjeek in spite I of a considerable increase in receipts. I Pork has not changed, but lard and hogs are I lower, oil is IJI cents lower, and the specu- ' laiive markets are generally weak outside f bf those above mentioned.

Monster Bails. ' New York is distinguished every season for its monster masquerades and fancy balls. In spite of gas, music, flowers and gay costumes, these gatherings, if we are to believe the reports of many who “assist” at them, are at once dreary and disgusting. The multitudes of mock Kings, Knights, Duchesses, Scaramouches, Pickwicks, Cardinals, Indians, Clowns, Columbines, Pantaloons, Hidalgos, Sailors, Punchinellos, Plower-Girls, and what not, who meet upon a common level upon these occasions, are nothing more than promenading £nd gyrating dummies. The world may be a stage, but these ladies and gentlemen show very clearly that all the men and women are not players —not one in 500 of them having the slightest idea of personating the character whose outer husk he or she assumes. These monster balls are said to be principally remarkable for three impossibilities, viz: the impossibility of dancing, on account of the crowd; the impossibility of getting any refreshments without fighting for them; and the impossibility of obtaining access to the dressing-room except by force of arms. Fifteen dollars for a ticket and a hundred dollars for a costume may not be too much to pay for six hours of discomfort; but by riding in the city railroad or elevated cars for the same length of time, you can get shoved, jammed and hustled about almost as thoroughly for much less money, and you needn't pay anything extra for costume, either. Her Tact Did the Business. “Engaged? And you have only visited her twice?” “Yes. Couldn’t do anything else; such a fine, lovely girt The first evening I went to see her it kept me nervous watching the clock on the mantel and and when 10 came I took my hat and left.” “Well?” “Well, last night when I called I noticed the clock had been removed from the room.” — Philadelphia Times. Prayer Among the Mongols. On the tops of all the houses were little prayer wheels turned by the force of the wind, a simple arrangement like an anemometer placed on them catching the air and so keeping them in motion. In the hands of most of the old men and women were bronze or brass prayer wheels, which they kept continually turning, while not satisfied with this mechanical way of acquiring merit, they mumbled the popular formula “Om mani peme hum,* the well-known invocation to Avalokiteshwarai, the would-be savior of the world.— Cenr tury.
