His plan is close by the tab ; Liszt to the swashiDg, the splatter and splash ; He composeth the -Rub a dab dab." The game of poker is very old. Shakespeare says: "I'll call thee, Hamlet" "Of the people, for the people, and buy the people," is the motto of some politicians, - - What the Democrats wish to know, before the next campaign opens, is whetherSamuel J. T. is single or double oarl'd. The srrpent left his trail in the Garden of Eden, bnt the general belief is that Eve's dress-pattern was too scanty to enabla her to do likewise. "Do yon keep ' arjy Hamburg edging?" asked a timid miss. "Not if we can sell it," was the pert reply of the clerk. He kept some that day. A mnd-tortle can neither fly, sing, gallop, laugh, cry or go blackberrying; and yet if they are left alone they can get along j net as well as the young man who tries to be tunny at a lawn party. We have just been shown a steel engraving of Adam and Eye, and are surprised that two such homely old dodes laid the foundation for such a sweet and pretty man as Koscoe Conkhng. "What's peaches?" asked a lady of a farmer at Washington market one morning. ''Fruit," he promptly answered. Bat it wasn't so funny when she as promptly jammed his hat down over his ears with her umbrella. It makes a mothei's heart revert to her J'ouneer days when she comes into the paror next morning after her daughter's beau has been around and finds only one chair in front of the fire-place, and the others sitting along the wall, as if they hadn't been touched for three years. "In the fourth place," said the preacher to his drowsy audience, "those of yea who are awake will notice " etc There was a pause, a sudden straightening up of almost everybody in the congregation and a general appearance on nearly every face as if to say, "Why don't you fellows keep awake better?" A new boy at a Twelfth ward school diverted the minds of the other pupils from their books by munching peanuts, where upon the teacher relieved him of his edibles and reprimanded him. Next day the master received a note from the new scholar's mother, which conveyed this information: "If mi Boy kant eat peanuts oat load in ekule, I'll edicate him miself at home." "W , do you know why you are like a donkey?" "Like a donkey?" echoed W , opening his eyes wide. "'No, I don't" "Do you give it np?" "I da" "Because your better half is stubbornness itself." "That's not bad. Ha! Ha! I'll give that ty my wife when I get home." "Mrs. W , he asked as he sat down to arapper, "Do you know why I am like a donkey?' He waited a moment, expecting his wife to give it np. But she didn't Bne looked at him somewhat commiseratingly as she answered: : "I suppose because you were born so." Getting into a railway carriage one day last week, I found two gentleman earnestly discussing the question of the present stagnation in trade. "Ah," said the one, "you may have suQered, but look at me. I have bad to put down my horses and my carriage, t give np my house in town and take a am all place down in the country." I ventured to join the discussion and casually remarked that I feared it would be the cause of driving many people to an early grave. "Not at all," remarked my lugubrious friend, looking quite savage at me for my suggestion. I dared not venture another observation, but as the indignant gentleman left the train at the next station, I remarked to his friend, "In what business is that gentleman?" "Oh, be an undertaker." An old colored man made hisappearace at the ferry dock just after dinner the other day, and after he had taken several close looks at the river a band on a ferry boat called out to him, "Looking for a boat to come down, uncle?" "No, sah; I was look in' far de ice to come down," was the reply. , "What! Ice come down the river with the .thermometer 95 in the shade?" "Den it bezn't come, sah?" "Not much." "An' it i won't come, sah?" "I guess not not before December. You must be crazy." "0, too, sah! It's all owio' to dat nephew of mine. He tole me dis noon dat de ice war all gwine outer be ribber, an I fought I'd come 'long down an' see." "Well, the boy tied."

Jewish Citizenship, The New York Observer, a Christian publication of marked ability, lately printed an article on the prospect of the Jews in Palestine, in which it is stated that the number of Jews at Jerusalem baa increased to 13,000, and that the number of charitable inatitu- ' tions has largely increased, the German Jews having no lets than 16 of these institutions, and intimating the opinion that the Jews throughout the world are preparing to return - to the Holy Land. The Hebrew Leader points . out the absurdity of such a movement or apposition, and remarks: In New York there are over 70,000 resident Israelites and very few of tbem are dependent on charity. No one that is sble to work is ont of employment If it takes 16 charitable institutions to support those Jews in Palestine who are Germans, we would be temp'ed to believe that nearly every Jew resident in the Holy Land is wholly or par- , tially supported by charity, and from all that we can gather this is largely the case. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been expended in charity that has only serve! to create a race of beggars and idlerr. For there are always those who will not work so long as somebody will leea ana clothe them, and we all know that idleness is eontarioos. Now, then, compare the condition of the Jews in New York, in London, in Paris, or in Vienna, with the condition of the Jews In Jerusalem, and then consider if there is any possible inducement that would imoel the Jew who has made bis borne in one ot these cities, and acquired citizenship
there who hat assimilated himself to the laws and habits of the country and grown t be a leader in society, in art, in business or in politics to pull up hi stakes to remove tn t-i desert fields and sterile plains ot Pal
estine? It would add nothing to his com., fort, his position, the future welfare of hij. self or his family. It would be tht destruction of home and n., Ixenship. As well might one pect the descendants of the Dutch, Eng'J8h, 8weds and French, who came to thi country 300 years ago to pull np their st'kee and go back to the countries from vhich their fore fathers emigrated. But the editor of the Observer is no more of. an American citissn, and no more attached to his native land, than the humblest Jew who will cast his vote in November. This is a truth that we are forever striving to beat into the heads of men who eeem to be sensible on every other point but this. Until it is understood, and tally, there will not be a final extinction of prejudice and entire justice will not be done to our people. All that we have ever asked is that we shall be looked upon and treated just like other citizens and that our religious tenets shall not be dragged into the every day matters of our lives, or into the published records of little petty crimes or accidents. As citizens of the United States we ask to be" considered simply in oar civil and political relations and that oar religious tenets should be let as severely alone as any religious sect or denomination. We are proud of our citizenship in this Republic, for which we and our fathers have always been ready to sacrifice life and treasure, and we have the right to ask that our citizenship shall be fully acknowledged in public and private. This will come sooner or later it should have come before this. A Scoundrelly Trick. Lexington Intelligencer. This paper in its issue of August 23 contained the following editorial paragraph: "Come to Missouri. We have good soil, improved farms, good schools and churches, good roads, plenty of railroads and rivers to insure cheap transportation, and a generous, hospitable, kind people, who desire immigration, and who will extend the right hand of fellowship to all who come with honest intent Come." Some unmitigated scoundrel has garbled this paragraph so as to make it read as follows, and printed it, credited to the Intelligencer: "Come to Missouri. We have good soil, improved farms, good schools and churches, good roads, plenty of railroads and rivers to insure cheap transportation, and a generous, hospitable, kind people, who desire immigration, and will extend the right hand of fellowship to ail who will sot attempt to cram their politics or notions down the throats of our people. Come." After the word "hand" the above is a forgery, and the man who perpetrated it is a scoundrel, who only lacks the opportunity to become a thief. No each language ever appeared in the Intelligncei We see the garbled extract credited by the Register of this city, with comments, to the Moberly Monitor. We can not believe the gentlemen connected with the Monitor, whom we have known and .esteemed, guilty of such an act as this, and hope they will be able to assist us in finding out the guilty party. Missouri journalism is of too high a standard, we hope, to tolerate such practices, and the man who could be gui'ty of tbem should be known. The St. Louis Times-Journal was led into copying this forgery, as was the Register of this city. The latter paper should have known better, as it has a file of the Intelligencer. Instead of such bigoted utterances the Intelligencer has contained, week after week, good words for Missouri and Lafayette county, and invitations to all honest people to come among us, regardless of political opinions. We append two recent paragraphs: "Assertions that people are persecuted for the political opinions they hold are not true of Lafayette county. Everybody thinks, talks and votes as he pleases here, and there are none to molest or make them afraid." "Every intelligent perso i from the East or North now a resident of this county can render .valuable assistance in encouraging immigration to our midst, by writing letters to the local papers at their former homes descriptive of our great resources and the hospitable people who desire good citizens from everywhere to move into their neighborhoods. Try it and see." No mistake was made in the forgery above pointed out It is too broad. We hope any f our exchanges which may have been led to copy or comment on it will do us the justice to set as right. The Intelligencer is a liberal, progressive paper, and does not desire to be classed among the bigoted and narrow-minded. Only Christians. John Wesley was once troubled in regard to the disposition of the various sects, and the chances of each in reference to future happiness or punishment A dream one night transported him in its uncertain wanderiogi to the gates of hell. "Are there any Roman Catholics here?" asked thoughful Wesley. "Yes." was the reply. "Any Presbyterians?" "Yes." "Any Congregatlonalists?" "Yes." "Any Methodists?" by way of a clincher, asked the pious Wesley. "Yes," was answered to bis great indignation. In the mystic way of dreams, a sadden transition and he stood at the gates of Heaven. Improving his opportunity, be again inquired : "Are there any Roman Catholinj here?" "No," was replied. "Any Presbyterians?" "No." "Any Congregationalists?" "No." "Any Methodists?" "No." "W Jit Hon ' V,i mA. Inst In wonder. who are thav inside?" 'Christiana:" was the jubilant answer. One dav a Newfoundland doe and a mas tiff bad a sharp quarrel over a bone. They were lighting on a bridge, ana over mey went into the river. The banks were so high that thr y were forced to swim some distance beiore they came to a tanaing piece. It was very easy for the Newfoundland, he was as much at home in the water as a seal. But not so for poor Bruce; he struggled and did his best to swim, but made little headway. The Newfoundland dog quickly reached the land, and then turned to look at hts old enemy. He saw plainly that his strength was fast failing, and that he was likely to drown. So, what did the noble fellow do but plunge In, seiss him gently by the collar, and, keeping his hose above the water, tow him safely into port! It was funny to see these dogs look at each other as they shook their coats. Their glances aid as plainly as words, "We'll never quarrel again." Many fruit growers make the mistake of allowing a tree or Tine to carry the maturity all of the fruit which seta after blossom, the consequence, in most cases, being a large yield of inferior quality and size. Careful experiment has shown that the results tiave been more profitable when the svstefn of thianing out the young trait at least -one-half has been adopted, producing large, 'fine, perfect specimens, which will always com niand a remunerative price, even when the market Is glutted. Apples, peaisand peaches should receive this attention before tbey become larger than ordinary ' marbles; crape dusters may be thinned while la blossom, and plum trees, by a vigorous baking, can be relieved of their unnecessary orpins.

The following particulars were obtained from the courier who brougnt the dispatches from Captain Payne, after the fight of Major Thornburg's expedition against the hostile Ute Indians: When within 70 miles of the agency they halted for the night of the 26m lrslant, and the major sent Grafton Lowry, one of the scouts to the ageocy, to communicate with Ag nt Meeken and see how matters stood. He found the utmost excitement and confusion prevailing. The Indians had sent all their old men, women and children south toward Blue river. The warriors were decorated and painted in the usual war style. They were about to murder Mr. Meeker, but Mr. Lowry prevailed on them not to commit the deed. Mr. Meeker told Lowry that he attempted tole-tve tue agency with his family, bat waa prevented by the Indians; that the Iudlans signified their readiness for war, and seemed anxious for the approach of the troops. They then made another move to kill Meeker and fire the buildings, but were a second time prevailed ou to desist. Lowry now attempted to return to the command, and waa Informed that he must remain; but after hiving them a number of assuiances of his peaceable mission, he waa allowed to depart, but was accompanied by about SO warriors, who rode with him a number of miles, and then left. Lowry arrived at the command, then near Milk creek-, on the evenlug of the 28, and gave Major Thorn burgh the above Information. The next mornlug, September 29, the command advanaed nnder the guidance of Joe Rankin, who is well acquainted with the country, and about 9 o'clock a. m. Rankin disooverau fresh Indltn Big us. and having arrived at the canon through which the road parsed, and which would atlbrd an excellent opportunity for an ambush he led the command around over a hill, over au old trail well known to htm. i y this movement he saved the lives of the oo imnd, for on arriving on top of the hill he discovered Indians lu ambush on either aide of the canon tbrouu which the road passed. Thorn urg formed hitmen in line and awal'ed the attack. He avaa urited to fire on the Indians, but persist ently refused to do so, snying his orders would not justify an attack, two Indians now roue up to within ltd yards, dismounted, aud ' with a savage yell fired, shooting Captain Payne through too arm. At this signal the Indians gave a war whooD and the buttle commenced. Thorn banc now found that he was surr ounded. He ordered a charge, which he gallantly led In person, and sucoeeded la culling bis way out, and when within about 6uo yards of his wagon he fll dead with two bullets through his brauu- Captain Payne now took command, and the battle was carried on no til 8 o'clock p m, the troops using wagons and animals as breastworks. The Indians fell back a short distance and went into camp. During the engagement Lowry was killed. The casualties are ab-jat as follows: Major Tsornburg, Lowry and 13 enlisted ,11)11, WagonmasterMcKinstry and one teamutey killed. Captain Payne, Captain Lawsou, Hurgeoii Grimes, Lieutenant Spaddock and Wolfe Bud men were wou tided. Major Thornburg's . body had not been recovered When Rankin left with the dls?tab" Captain Payne had fortified bis position and thought be could possibly bold it until the arrival of reinforcements in case they were sent promptly. About 150 head of mules aud horses were kilted by the Indians. General Merritt will arrive to night, aud leave at once with a good loroe. LATER It is now reporteu limb mnrhur wm faml'v and all the am oloyes have been mur dered, aud the agency buildings destroyed, bat tbii report lacks confirm tllon.

In addition to these, there will be five companies o' cavalry from other posts in the department, and four companlea of Infantry, Hie grester number of which Will ,'ke Ht Rawlins hoinra davlieht In the . morning. From the Cheyenne depot a full equipment of wagon transportation, as well as a large pack train, departed to-night, iniormaunn believed to ha 'aulhentlo waa re ceived here to-night that General Tyner, assistant postmaster general; Governor Ho) t, of Wyoming, and military esoort of eight men are now with TKornburg a command on Milk river. THE CA'Wr'ArGI A:aXl.STTHEUTES MOVEMEBT of TKoors. rWAHA.'Oct 1 - As n wrona Inference rosy be drawn respecting the management of the campaign againstrtbe Ute Indluus, the following explanation Is given: The Utea are to mountain Iudlans wbat the Cheyennes are to theorafiyand wily plain Indians. They are feared by all other tribes who can 111 combat with them in Uieir own noraea. -ine country which the Inhabit is verv rugged and moan famous and heavllv timbered, and last the place mrambdheadea. Old Indian fighters are united In saving that the Ute are wily, bard fighters and ferocious the beet at planning atubuscades. They ara at the same lime treacherous to the areatest dearee. and though Malor Thornbunrh expected they would rem.m rvir-a.lm. rnnorted that he was oever tbeleaa most vigilant and caattua. There la notolng to lead lo the Inference that he waa otherwise than brave and IntrepiJ, yet was caution iiK-lf. aud never linDeti.ous. Hla early training in the service, amidst soeues
Calculated to school him to become a eau loua leader and good judge in such matter, have commat-dod o la attention and titled aim for Jnst this sort of , work. As Yaymaater and . traveler, he has been in varied scenes, tending to nerve him. add keep hlna well balanced, winning for ilmself a high reputation as a scout and Indian lighter. Therefore, the only Inference that can be drawn. Is that Tborabuigh, did not blander, bat fell Into one of the most earefaljy laid ambuscade, and could Dot extricate the brave fellows he had with htm. The courageous act of the conrier who brought the news deserves honorable men lion, tor though under the cover of darkness. It may be a difllouit task to eat off from the lines, yet on snch nights as these, with the bright moon shining oat, the deed is attended with greater hazard. Military authorities are nnanlmous in the belief that the worst has now been told, lor Lieutenant Payne, strongly entrenched near water and well-provisioned will further fortify himself by throwing up earth works .which, with the wagon teams, will enab e him to hold his own uui II ruluforceinentssppear, which will be soon. The courier brought the news direct to Rawlins, and by 8 o'clock intelligence had been flaflhed to Fort Omaha. General Williams, In less than a quarter of an hoar, was at work giving orders, consulting General rook, who Is in Chicago, and ordering matters forward. General Merritt, at Fort Ruasell, Cheyenne, was telegraphed to and ordered to the command of the expedition. The message was carried by the operator, - wbo received a it at the latter place, to the general at his beadqaarters on horseback at a breakneck speed. General Merritt at once began preparing for the expedition. The same was true of arrangements at Camp Douglass, Salt Lake, and no time waa lost, but everything perfected at short notice. At Fort McPhen-ou and Sanders, this activity was duplicated. The Union Pacific railroad worked in harmony wi'h the military, and troops are all now en route to Kawllns, from wbtch point succor will be sent. A special train of lour cars of troops from Camp Douglass le't Ogden at 2 p. m. to-day. for the scene of the late outbreak. The train waa under orders to make fast time. Three hundred men and 600 horses left Cheyenne to-day for Rawlins. One company left Fort Sanders, and two companies of cavalry lea Fort McPherson to-day for Fort Steele. The inter had their horses, baggage, etc, with tbem. Troops have been ordered forward from Forts Fettterman and Robinson, and will leave tor the seat of war as soon as they can reach the railroad, by special train. General Merritt, to whom tbe command of the expedition is given, is one of the best Indian fighters in the conn try. At 11:15 o'clock this afternoon be telegraphed General Williams that he would be ready to start at 4 o'clock to-iuurrow morning with a force of nearly 650 men. As the animals and provisions are plenty a rapid march will be loroeri, and relief will soon reach the men In peril. Ms I or Thornbnrgh'a body, as first mentioned, has not been recovered, bnt Ilea In front of his commandand can not be procured. Major Tbornburgh waa a very powerful man, fully six feet two Inches In height, active and muscular to a great extent, a magnificent shot and daring horseman. He leaves a wife and two children, who are at Fort Steele, whither bU father-in-law, Major Clark, Jourueved this morning. THH DEWS AT WASHIHRTOK. Washigtox, Oct. 1. Hon. S. W. Downing, delegate to Congress from Wyoming Territory, telegraphed to Postmaster General Key to-day stating that First-Assistant Postmaster General Tyner and party were traveling through the Ute Indian conutry, and were in danger of being attacked by hostile. The telegram also requested that authority from the war
department be dispatched to Fort Saunders to have the party lulnrmed of their Immediate danger. General Kuapp, chief clerk of the postomce uepartment, at once obtained the necessary autnority Irora the war department, and Downey was notified that tbe commanding officer at Fort Sanndara would afford any factlties possible for the proiwwiiu ui any parties in nie t.'icoHniry. 'rne following diispalch was received this evening: Rawumb, Wy., Oot 1. To E. A. Hoyt, Commissioner of Indian Affairs: Since the arrival of the mall from White River agency a special messenger has arrived, and reports Msjor Thornburgh's command having been attacked by Indians on Milk creek, 18 miles north of the agency, and the major and la men killed. I fear Agent Meeker and employes are all massacred, as tne teams and wagons transferring Indian supplies from here have been destroyed bv Indians. . (Signed) James Frasce, Out In the Indian Country. Rawliics, Wv., Oct. 2. No news has been received fiom Payne's command to-day. Tbe mail-carrier from the Ute agency, who le porta to night, has not yet arrived. All sorts of rumors are afloat, bat the only reliable Iniormatlon received is a statement of a ranchman named Morgan, wbo arrived to day from his ranch oa Snake river. On t he morning of the 30th. the day after tbe fight, he heard heavy firing In tbe direction of the battle around. General Merritt, with &0 cavalry left here at 10:30 this morning, and will be followed by the infantry to morrow. Merritt was accompanied by the scout, Rankin. Great excitement prevails here. The settlers from the vicinity of the Ute reservation are arriving hourly. Many white meu, freighters and Hunters, are known to have been in tbe vicinity of the Ute agency, and fe ats are entertained lor their safety. The Trouble With the TJte Indians. Dksvsk. Col.. Oct 2. The causes of the TTta outbreak, as stated from Washington, 1 a mis take, mere nss oeeo noencroaebmentson the reservation. Prospectors never went to Washington to urge Congress to disregard the treaty. The Northern Utea who attacked ihornonrg were not interested in the demand of the Los Pinus Utes. Tbe csuse of the out break was probably failure of the Government to pay the 179.000 due under the treaty of 1873. by which the Sao Juan; mining region was ceded by the Utes. The Colorado Congress and Colorado people have never asked the transfer of tbe Utes to the Indian nation, Tbe following Is a list of those at White Rtver agency: Probably Agent N.C. Meeker, wife and daughter; Joseph. K poire, aged 21; Frank and Harry Dresser, B. Mansfield, W. H. Post, Mr. and Mrs. Price, and two children. Fred Sheooard. George Eaton and a boy named Thompson.
