Special Correspondence Daily NEWS: BRAZIL, Aug. 31. A. J. McCullough has formed a purr

Jgl akh

nership with Dellaflcld in the undertaking business. The firm is composed of active and energetic men and will doubtless drive a thriving business.

The meeting at KnigUtsvilie to-night will be one ot the big allalw of the campaign. A large delegation from this place is expected to go and th* R.^ will turn out in a body. A hundred uniforms have arrived ar.d will be furnished to all members of the club wishing to go. Delegations will also be present from Harmony and Jackson township and from Cardonsa and Ben wood and north Vau Buren township.

The Vandali a is laving a double track between this city and Knightwille for the accommodation of the coal trade.. The work is under.the superintendence of Pat O'llannon. A number of new switches have also been put in iu the vicinity of .Ivnightsville,

It is time the Republicans were taking under advisement the project of raising a pole, 2s"o move in that direction has yet been made.

Alight rain fell in this locality yesterday, and there is a prospect of more today.

Mrs. Barrick and Miss Jessie, of Terre Haute, arc here, the guests of Charley Barrick.

An unusual number of drunk atid dia orderly cases, and other petty misdemeanors, were before the Mayor's Court during the past few days.

The Briclgeton fair begins next Monday, and will be patronized by a number of our people.

The fair closes to day, after a week ck rather disastcrous experience. The attendance has been very small during the entire week. On Thursday there was a large number of people in town, but after over $4,000 And over 8,000 people went t6 the show there was but little left for the fair. It Is not probable that the receipts will near equal the expenditures.

Arrangements will probably be made to run a trian of flats to Koight&ville this evening to carry all who wish to go to the rally at that place. It is desired that every uniform in the possession of the club be represented. Hon. J. R. Q. Pitkin, of Alabama is to make the speech, and he comes recommended as an orator of more than average ability. Brasil should send a large delegation and make It one of the big meetings of the cam* J»algo.

A Terrible Indian Onslaught Upon a Herd of Buffaloes* Ax officer of the regular Army, who left Fort Keogh, Montana, ten days ago, arrived in the city on Thursday evening, and is a guest of friends living on Prairie Avenue. The officer traveled by

buckboard71 from the Yellowstone River to the end of the Northern Pacific Railroad, near the Little Missouri, and thenoe eastward by rail.

Couriers had arrived at the poet before his departure, bringing the latest intelligence from the Crow Indians, who were then absent from the camp, or Agency, upon a grand buffalo hunt. The news brought in by the couriers was very exciting. They related that after riding over mountains for two day» the Crows come upon a fine herd of buffaloes in a narrow valley near by the Yellowstone. There were four hundred Indians and four thousand buffaloes The Crows had been forced by f«ar of starvation to take to the chase, and the keen hunger they were suffering only sharpened their eagerness for a tilt with their old fellow-nomads, the noble bisons. The game stampeded down the valley in the direction of the Yellowstone. The chase was hotly followed, half a hundred buffaloes biting the dust before the river was reached. One of the most vehement of the pursuers, who had distinguished himself for bravery in two or three fights with the Sioux, fell from his pony in the midst of the flying herd, ana was trampled to death by the frantic beasts.

The Yellowstone, a roaring, rushing river even at the lowest tide, was booming with the regular summer freshet,the outpour of the melting snows in the high mountains. When the river was reached the game made a bold stand, and for a time it seemed doubtful which held the mastery but the incessant fusilade from four hundred rifles, together with the desperate proximity of the formidable battalion, drove the herd in dismay into the roaring torrent. Beside themselves with the excitement of the moment, the Indians urged their ponies into the stream, unwilling that even a flood .should spoil their frenzied sport or cut thera off from their game. The terrific current, made tumultuous from the huge piles of rock here and there, in the channel, whirled buffaloes, ponies, and Indians along at a bewildering velocity, until the thousands of beasts were rolling ana writhing in inextricable confusion. In the dizzy evolutions of horses and riders, the latter were left to struggle for themselves in the water, and to be jammed to death between the surging masses of drowning beasts. Some who foresaw the danger in time, and turned shoreward, found safety on terra firma, but those who ventured far enough to be embraced by the sweeping, resistless tide, and to become involved in the tangle of struggling animals, were all drowned. The story brought to the post was that thirty Indians and fifty ponies wore drowned, tesides fivo hundred or a thousand buffaloes.

Inquiry at military hoadquarters in this city elicited from Col. Sheridan the information, oorroborative in part of the forogoimr narrative, that the Crow Indi-

ans had eaten up ali their food and had gone out after game. Tho dispatch conveying this intelligence to military headquarters gave no particulars, but intimated, that the Indians were desperately hungry.—-.Chicayo Times.

Dldu't Work Well.

MR. PIGWEKD bas had a terrible time of it. He resolved to set a pistol in his safe, before leaving home for th§ summer, so that when anybody opened the door of the receptacle the pistol would be discharged. However, it puzzled •him a good deal to find a tfay to set the pistol with the door shut, and if he set it with the door open there was no way to make the thing go off when the door should be openea again. So he finally set up the pistol inside the safe ana cocked it, and then putting his hand inside closed the door all'but a crack, just sufficient to admit his wrist. Then he fixed a loop from the door to the pistol trigger, so that when the door was opened any wider the pistol would be discharged. Then he attempted to draw out his hand, but found that while he had left the door sufficiently open to accommodate his wrist it wouldn't let out his hand without being opened wider, ami that would discharge the pistol into his stomach. There was nothing to do but to take off the loop and put on a little longer one, and when he attempted to do that, he found that though he had been able to attach the loop, he couldn't reach quite far enough to detach it again. Then the awftilness of his position came upon him. He was imprisoned and could only release himself at the price of a shot in the atomacK. He beffaa to scream wildly for help, and at last help catt-te, anil the first man who •arrived w*s about to yank the d«or open before Pigweed could stop him, and it gave the victim's nerves a terrible shock. Finally they got smiths and tools and went to work to get in at the back of the safe and remove the pistol, and they had to work very carefully so lis not to explode the pistol by the jar.

It was an all-day job, but finally after Pigweed had newly died from exhaustion, and his hair had begun to torn gray from fright, they go: at the pistol and found that when he put it In there, had forgotten to load it, so he have yanked his hand out at any

The Araucano Indians—ChllPs Native Foe. W* 1 S

THS Araucaso Indians occupy the southeasterly portion of the Chilian territory, bordering the Andes. They have never been conquered, and continual skirmishes take place between them and the Chilian troops on the line, where there has never beea peace since Chili beaune tree from Spanish role. A line of fort#, garrisoned, is maintained on the borders, and every few yean the line i* suddenly advanced into the interior, drivin& the Araccano back and taking poaaeiMfoa of him lands This advance is loBowe* op by aetilers, who purchase large kscfeiMhsof lie Government. So far, the acquired ponseaatoas have proved exceBent for agrkmitwre and grazing purposes.

veray tne reports ot woadertul gold and silver deposits. The Indians have resisted till efforts to civilize them, and the Catholic Church has failed to subdue their stubborn will or establish a church and-missionaries among them. Upon one occasion a young prisoner was taught Latin, educated by the Church, and made a curate. He eventually asked permission, and obtained it, to visit his people, bat failed to rettirn. Some years afterward he was Sgaiii taken prisoner, fighting bravely witnliis people. Being recognized, he was once more placed in the hands of the priests. He lived but little over a year after his second capture, and died pining for his home and of a broken heart. At is asserted that they worship the sun, and believe in evil spirits, somewhat after the manner of worship of the old Incas.

So little is known of the Araucano Indians and their customs that but one attempt has beer made to ptiblish an account of them, and it has since been found out that the work was full of errors and misrepresentations. But very slight information can be obtained of their history, and they are very reticent regarding their own customs, mode ot living and religion. They purposely mislead one when questioned, and no two of them agree in their accounts. Thev rarely admit strangers into their territories, though occasionally ft tirader penetrates a snort distance to some friendly cacique (or chief) who may treat him with ope* hospitality but, upon the least suspicions or want of confidence, the trader's goods are stolen and his life sacrificed to savage Cruelties. Of course, few like to run these risks even for money." -The men are well-built, strong ana healthy, of average height, brave, of cruel dispositions and treacherous their complexions of a copper color. The women die smali, arid with ugly, coarse features and large mouths. Both sexes have coarse black hair and beautiful white teeth. It is said that one tribe exists of lighter complexion and lighter liair, tli^ tradition being that they are. descendants of a long-since German colony: but this is loubtful, as no traces are left of the lanfuage or customs of such predecessors.

Hark Twain's Account of the

Cham-

ois."'

WE left the train for Switzerland,and reached Lucerne about ten o'clock at night. The first discoverv I made was that the beauty of the lake nad not been exaggerated. Within a day or two I made another discovery. This was that the lauded chamois is not a wild goat that it is not a horned animal that it is not shy that it does not avoid hunian society and that there is no peril in hunting it. The chamois is a black or brown creature, no bigger than a mustard seed. You do not have to go after it it comes after you. It arrives in vast herds, and skips and scampers all over your body, inside your clothes. Thus it is not shy, but extremely sociable. It is not afraid of man on the contrary it will attack him. Its bite is not dangerous, but neither is it pleasant. Its activity has not been overstated. If you try to put your finger on it, it will skip a thousand times its own length at one jump, and no eye is sharp enough to see where it lights. A great deal of romantic nonsense has oeen written about the Swiss chamois and the perils of hunting it,whereas the truth is tnafc even women and children hunt it, and fearlessly. Indeed, everybody hunts it. The hunting is going on all the tame, day and night, in bed and out of it. It is poetic foolishness to hunt it with a gun. Vdiy few people do that. There is not one man in a million who can Hit it witn a gun. IF Is much easier to catch it than it is to shoot it, and only the experienced chamois hunter can do either. Another common piece of exaggeration1 is that 'about the scarcity of the chamois^ It is the reverse 6f scarce. Droves, df 100,000,000 chamois are not unusual in the1 Swiss hotels. Indeed they are so numerous as to be a great pest. The romancers always dress up the chamois hunter in fanciful and picturesque costume, whereas the best way to hunt this game is to do it without any costume at all.

The article of commerce called chamois skin is another fraud. Nobodv could skin a chamois. It is too small. The creature is a humbug in everyway, and every thing which has been written about it Is sentimental exaggeration. It was no pleasure to me to find the chamois out, for he had been one of my pet illusions. All my life it had been rav dream to see him in his native wilds some day, and engage in the adventurous sport of chasing him from cliff to cliff. It is no pleasure to me to expose him fcow, and destroy the reader's delight in him and respect for him, but stall it must be done, for when an honest writer discovers an imposition it is his simple duty to strip it bare and hurl it down from its place of honor, no matter who suffers by it. Anv other course would render him unworthy of the public confidence.—" A Tramp Abroad

—Custer was the name of a Newfoundland dog that belonged to a New Jersey girl. **'We trained Km to hold the halter in his mouth and lead the horses away," she said. "He could carry two eggs in his huge mouth and never break one. He could tarn a knob as well as any one, and on entering a room would always turn around and put jiis paw on the door to close it. If this failed, he would jump upcrn the door, taking eare not to scratch with his nails. If any one sat down in the house without doffing his bat, Custer would steal stealthily up behind him and pull it off, then dropping it on the floor at the aide of his chaar would walk quietly away gad lie down, as one who had performed a doty
