The Worthin General Miles Vindicated. [Boston Advertiser.] The story of excessive cruelty charged upon Gen. Miles in his attaek upon the Ban nock Indians is fully answered in the follow ing private letter: STUDIO I N O BOSTON, Nov. 5,1878.— I send to you a cutting from one of the morning papers which does great injustice to one of the most gallant officers of our army, and, if not contradicted, might do him a serious injury in the minds of bis country men. Having accompanied a body of cav alry which joined Gen. Miles the morning after his fight, and knowing the preceding movements of the troops toward the 'body of Bannocks, who were marking their path toward the British possessions by burned ranches and murdered families, I feel it my duly to •ay that the Bannocks accompanied by scouts came to Gtn. Miles with propositions to surrender. The information of their presence came from Oapt. Egan, Second cavalry, who was following them in an east erly direction. After an arduous march, with one officer and twenty-seven enlisted men, Gen. Miles discovered the Bannocks' camp in the afternoon, without being per ceived by them, and keeping hid all night, attacked them the next day at daybreak, on a foggy morning. lie knew the column which joined him afterward was within some sixteen miles, but delayed by the using of the rivers, which made the fords impassable. Fearing that they would perceive the pres ence of the troops and scatter over the newly settled valley of the Yellowstone, he attacked them with his little body of men without waiting for the others—who were marching westerly from Fort Custer—to come up. took all their horses, thus depriving them of the means of further mischief, and captured some thirty-six prisoners the others scatter ed through the sage brush, which was very tall on the battle field. Gen. Miles showed every kindness to tho wounded and captured. He has in all cases been both just and firm in his treatment of In dians. Last year, after the cap ture of Chief Joseph, with his band of Nez Ferces, he deprived his own troop3 of much of their necessary transportation to make the captured Indians more comfort able. If you will give publicity to the de nial of the charges against Gen. Miles I shall esteem it a great favor, and an act of justice to an officer whose career is laborious and troubled enough, without having his successes counted as crimes. Gen. Miles lost in this fight one officer, Capt. Bennett, Fifth infantry, and two scouts killed, and one pnvate wounded. Yours, vory truly, GEOBOK BOOTH. NOT DOWN IX THE BILLS. Sensational Performance of a Dog in a Jlilw aukee Theater. Considerable excitement was aroused at a performance last Sunday evening in the Grand opera house, Milwaukee, by the ex traordinary behavior of one of the principal members of the company. The piece was Miss Lm a Tetterhorn's sensational drama, "Tina, the Milk Vender," which has been rendered with some success in English. This time it was given its original German. In the principal scene a large dog is intioduced, hauling the milk wagon of Hartina, the heroine of the play. This dog understands English thoroughly, but, having Lad only the advantage of a single rehearsal in German, he became somewhat mixed as to his business,—not understanding the Ian guage, and of course mistaking his cue. When tbo comedian comes on and says "Har tina, are you here?" it is the dog's cue to stand still until Hartina and her lover em brace and then sing a duct. Then he foi lows Hurtina around the stage with the milk cart, and so on. On this occasion, when the words "Hartina, bist du hier.J" were uttered, the dog made a jump for tho comedian, who took fright and is oft tho stage. The dog followed, barking furiously, and scattering the milk pails all over the Btage. Hartiua screamed and took refuge among the oppo site wings. The. dog presently reappeared, and spying the prompter seated in his half oioon in front of the footlights, he made a plunge for him. The prompter dropped his book and dived through the trap door. The dog, now thoioughly aroused, went after him, followed by the milk-wagon and what was left of the cans. Amid the yells of the audienco an effort was made to rescue the unhappy and affrightered prompter. Seiz ing the tnilboard of the cait, some of the people gave a strong pull, and a pull alto gether, when up camo the wagon, and then the dog, and fiually the prompter—the latter in a helpless condition with the fangs of the lnfunated animal firmly fastened to that part of his garment which was tbe last to disappear from sight. A muzzle was pro cured, and the deg was led from the stage, yelping at the prompter, and looking daggers in the direction of the comedian. Order was eventually restored, and the piece pro ceeded.

Fourth, receive silver dollars upon deposit only under special contract to withdraw the same in kind. Fifth, to prohibit the payments of balances at the clearing house in silver certificates or in silver dollars, excepting as subsidiary coin in small sums, say under $10.

The Pan-Handle rateB to New Yoi and Philadelphia have not yet been reduced below $5, but this will no doubt follow its opponents with decreased charges. Tickets sold at these prices are re bate tickets, and speculators have no oppor tunity to take advantage of the reduction All agents report good sales, and know noth ing of the retarn to former prices.

ATTEMPT TO A6SAS6IATE THE KINO OF ITALY The king and queen arrived in Naples on the 17th inst., and were enthusiastically received by Immense crowd*. Several per. IKlH'-.s 3'dfl sons on the Strada Carbocana presented a petition to their majesties. A man at this moment rushed upon the king with a dagger and succeeded inflicting a scratch upon his left arm and slightly wounding SignorColr oil In the left thigh. The king displayed great coolness, and struck the assassin on the head with his sword and Signor Coiroli seised him by the hair. The assassin was immedi ately taken to the guard house. The queen and sou, who were in the carriage with the king, displayed much courage. The assas sin's name is Gcovannl Passauante. He says he does not like the klmr. Fifty thousand persons with flags and bands of music soon after the news reached Rome, assembled on the Corso to manifest their joy at the escape of the king. Another demonstration has been made before the house of the syndei. The crowds everywhere demand prompt justice. The Austrian embassy was illuminated and the crowd cheered the ambassador. THE ARMY.

The report concludes as follows: In conclusion I beg to state that from personal inspection and from official reports, I am sure the army is well and economically supplied. Its discipline and instruction are as good as could be ex pected from its scattered condition, and from the vast amount of labor necessarily impos ed on it that it has met cheerfully every call of dutp and hardship, and it has accomplish ed an amount of work which, as Gen. Sher idan has well said, "no other nation in tne world would have attempted with less than 60,000 or 70,000 men. BLEEPING CAR BURNED. A lamp over-turned in the St. Louis sleeper on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, westbound express, at 2 o'clock in the morn ing, about seven miles east of Cumberland, Md., setting fire to the curtains.

Owing to the darkness that fills our deep mining-shafts, our miners are less conscious of tbe dangers of their trade than they would otherwise be. A miner standing on a bit ot plank thrown across a shaft, 1,000 or 1,500 feet in depth sees little of this pit yawning beneath his feet. The darkness ris"s up until it almost seems to form a floor under the plank, giving a placeon which his eyes may rest, and preventing an unsteadiness of the head. Place tbe same shaft on the surf ace of the earth, and let it tower 1,500 feet into the air and broad light of day, and the miner standing on his single plank at an elevation three times as great as the tallest church-spire would be unable to move—would be paralyzed Looking down through the awful depth below, he would clutch the nearest timb ers, afraid to make a move in any diiec tion. Make for him doors on each side of the abaft, representing the openings t'i tl at the stations, and he would not be like to leap from door to door across the yawning shaft, as he does underneath the ground, where the dark rises up and makes a seeming floor between the doors. It is undoubtedly the darkness that be numbs the senses of the miner to the danger to which he is exposed when pass in to and fro across shafts and winzes, or when climbing the interior of their compartments, trusting to the scanty hold for hands and feet aflorded by the nar row ledges of their timbers projecting from the walls. I N I N A N EXGZAVIXG W at I Costs he U. S. The annual report of the bureau of en graving and printing shows that the aggre gate expense of operating tbe bureau during the year was $538,861.33. In the labor and expense account less than one-fifth of the amount appropriated was expended, leaving $652,836.17 in tbe treasury unexpended at the close of the last fiscal year. During the present fiscal year the expenses in July were $7,145.45 in August, $11,952.25, and in September, $14,082.66. Since the 1st of October, 1877, the bureau has executed all the work upon United States notes and nationel bank cur rency, the only amount paid to private com panies during the year being about $13,000 to the Columbian bank note company foi work done prior' to October, 1877. Tne number of impressions by plate printing was 20,244,490, against 18,989,427 during the preceding year. The number of sheets for customs and internal revenue stamps and of United States securities delivered in the fis cal year ended June 30,1877, was 9,820,0."J9. The number of sheets of the same class of work during tbe fiscal year 1878 was 12,518, 339. The value of notes, bonds and mis cellaneous securities turned oat during the year ended July 30, 1877, was $708,414, 645 the values of the same class of work during the fiscal year 1878 were $1,010,451, 380. Eight hundred and twenty-two per sons are now employed in the bureau, the number having been increased during the last few months on account of the demand for the 4 per cent, bonds. Daring the year no counterfeit has appealed on any of the work engraved by the bureau. The report is signed by the late superintendent, Hon. Edward McPhersou, and in concluding it he speaks of the efficiency of the force em ployed in the bureau and that the employes have always responded to the demands upon them and showed themselves faithful and re liable. THE GHOULS. A Confession of One of Them. [Cleveland (Ohio) Special to Chicaso Tribnne. An interesting case of attempted grave robbery has just come to light. Joiner, one of a gang who robbed Mr. French's grave last month, made a confession of an attempt upon the grave of Miss Critchlow, of Bed ford, a young lady who died in Auguot last of consumption. Upon ainvmg in Bedford, which is a suburb of tho city, the robbers did not know whera the cemetery was lo cated, and at length concluded to find the village doctor to ascertain from him. Joiner accordingly feigned sickness, and, stopping at a store, the doctor was sent for. By some signal the doctor was given to understand the state of affairs, and, going to one side with tne robbers, he told them that he did not know where the grave was located, as he did not attend tbe funeral, but his daughter did, and, if they would call later, he would find out and tell them. They did so, and he directed them to tbe grave, but warned them to be careful, as it was located next that of old Mr. Patter son, father of W. D. Patterson, superin tendent of the city workhouse, and, as this body had been buried a year, it could be of no value. They went to the spot, and did make the mistake warned not to. Upon reaching the body they pulled at one of tho cars. This is the test which is employed to see whether the body be good or not. If the ear comes off it is too much decomposed. The ear came off, and such a stench arose that all were made sick, and decided to leave the lot to get something to drink. When they returned it was too late to get the other body, and Mr. Patterson's grave was refillcj. This story coming to Supt. Patterson, he went to the cemetery yesterday, and, open ing bis father's grave, found the coffin broken open and the ear gone from the corpse, as described. The doctor who as sisted in this work, named Streator, died about a month ago. He was a leading mem ber of the church, and much respected. he Bosto W it in Schools. Formerly all American schools were whittling schools but tbe art was prac ticed surreptitiously, trie soft piue desks and benches furnishing the only whittling mateiial. With the advent of highly fin ished hard wood school furniture, all jacknife practice in school was rigorously suppressed: and for a generation or so the art has fallen into decadence. I has revived, however, under improved con ditions, the natural spirit of construchve ness—usually called destructiveness—in cident to boyhood, being made the basis of systematic training of the most enjoy able and useful sort The pioneer institution is the Boston Whittling School, a private enterprise housed by the city. Th school-room has been fitted up "with work benches, divided into four foot sections, and each boy is furnished with such tools as he may need. Thirty-two were admitted the first year, their ages ranging from twelve to sixteen. Th school report says that perhaps twelve ot them had received some instructions in the use of the jig saw and knife, but none had had any previous training in wood carving or the use of the chisel. There wei more ap plicants for admission to the school than could be received. I any boy was absent two successive evenings, his place was taken by another. A rank list was kept and parted on the wall, and each boy knew how bis work was estimated by consulting the list. A course of twenty four lessons in wood carving was prepared with special references to secure the greatest amount of instruction with least expenditure for tools and material. It was not designed to make finished work men in wood carving, but to take ad vantage of he natural inclination toward handicraft, the Yankee taste for whittling which belongs to most boys, and to de velop it and guide it to useful applica tions. Th experience of the founders leads them to the belief "that it would be easy to establish, in connection with all our grammer schools lor boys, an annex for elementary instruction IU the use of the half dozen universal tools t. e, the ham mer, plane, saw, chisel, file, and square. Tnree or lour hours a week for one year only ot the grammer school course be enough to give the boys that intimacy with tools and that encouragement to the inborn inclination to hanaicraft, and that guidance in its use, for want of which so many young men now drift into over crowded and uucongenial occupations, or lapse into idleness and vice." Northern and Central Europe have been doing this or similar work for years and such teaching has done very much to hasten the industrial dcvelopcment of tbe countries that have tried it.—Scientific American.

"She is one of the arsenic-eaters." "One of our patients?" N I never saw her before. Bu her vice and folly are written on her face so plainlv that he who runs may read." '•Why does she eat arsenic?" '•To make her pretty, as she fondly im agines. A it does seemingly do so temporal ily. I will tell ryou*-,tlf£* signs by which you r*fey S«o\i arsenic-eaters, and you will be astfiilished &t the number who are addicted to the vice. When you see a woman with a swollen skin and puffy eyelids, plump and with a milky whiteness of complex ion, you niay be sure that you have a case. They think they are plump, but it is fictitious plumpness. Instead of good adipose tissue filling out the skin there i3 only a watery secretion. They have brought about a dropsical condition of the skin. An the first mott prominent place in which it becomes apparent is in the eyelids, first the lower, "then the up per. Examine the skm and you will see that the pores seem enlarged and the skin between them swollen and of an unnatural whiteness. An this is not confined to the face alone, you understand. I speak of the face simply because that you can so And when you look for the transparen white color their faces, don't be ceived by a delicate tmg of red. I tho brow and nose have that coipsey white, the red on the cheeks is paint. An n« woman who uses aisenic can do without paint." •'Are there manv arsenic-caters in N York?" "A vei great many," the aged physi cian replied. "They are two classes, actresses and the ladies ot fashionable society. After arsenic has been taken for a long time," the doctor continued, "it is demanded by the system. I not only affects tho skin, but it lessens the excre tion of carbonic acid and urea—checking the retrograde metamoiphosis—stimulates the cerebial functions, induces a sense of well-being, and in some subjects causes decided mental exhilaration. Further more, cessation of its use permits the wa ter distended suin to collapse, and then wrinkles Rnd yellowness follow instead of plumpness and transpaiency. What woman could you expect to accept that change when nothing more than her sanity and life was in danger? It is also said that the sudden stoppage of tho habit will produce all the symptoms of arsenical poisoning, aud even result fa tally." A Icadinc physician says: "It is true that many women, especially profession als, become artcmcophajd through phjsi ciaHs1 prescriptions given ior the cure of cutaneous disorders induced by the pois on of lotions and washes for the l?ce, but 1 assure you, of my OTn positive knowl edge, that an infinitely greater number of women oif the stage employ this poison to heighten their charms. I can tell an arsenic eater at si ht unerringly. A Indian painted for the war path is not a worn conspicuous object to a physician's eye than a woman who habitually uses arsenic. Th puffed, wstery skin is un mistakable Fowler's solution, which is a very common form in which arsenic is taken, is the arsecite of potassa. Each fluid dram contains a halt grain of arsen IOUS acia—each drop, say the 1-12 ol a grain—and when it i3 administered medicinally the do3e is three to live drops three times a day. Some patients and others accustomed to it ci.a lake, how ever, forty five drops per ciiem. Dono van's solution is the iodine of arsenic and mercury, and is much weaker, only about one thud as s'rong, if I lemember aright. De Yalangin's solution is the t» chloride of arsenic, and is only three eighths as strong as Fowler's solution. Th weakest preparation of all is Pearson's solution, the arseniate ot sida, which is generally used externally only. "I e&teern arsenic as a most valuable remedial agent, but it must he used with care, and beyond a doubt it lb an exceed ingly dangerous thing to addict one's self to. Bu what can you say or do to prevent its use by ^oinen. creatures who use belladonna ana atropm and morphine, and every other dcfdly drug they imagine can be made to serve to heighten their p!iysicial fascinations or give them a temporary semblance of vivacity? tell them, 'it will give you loathsome and atrnost incurable cuttaneous diseases, your scalp will become scurfy, your hair will fall out. you will become puffed up andgdrcpsical ofjform,' and they simp ly leply, with a self-satisfied smirk at the mirror, while poision still gives them a fictitious beauty, 'An, well, we will stop it before we come to that It is not an easy thing to leave off. Th arsenic hab it is almost as ifficnit to put away as the opium habit. Its victims do not dare to stop it. I could tell you of one bright little lady who only a few years ago was a most charming soubrette on our N York stage. Sh had a pretty face, a beautiful sopiano voice, and a vivacity that fairly electrified her audience. Bu she was very tain. Sh was So thin that to conceal her meagaeness in the days ot 'ti'tmg' hoops she used to wear her pads all the time, even in summer. She took to using arsenic. She is now too big to dance: her voice is no longer clear, but muffled, as though by fat in her throat. Sh has brought about a physical conduion that has ciowded her out of her line ot business, and threatens soon to retire her altogether from the stage, and yet she dare not leave off the use of the drug that lias wrought the change in her. An she will keep on gettiug stouter and stouter, or rather more and more dropsical, until it kills her, probably, if she cannot renounce the habit. "It is true that woman can get arsenic at almost any drug store with very little question I is sufficient for Mrs. A to know that Mrs. B. gets an arsenical solu tion from a particular drug store, and go in there, to say. 'Put me up an ounce of the same arsenical solution that you furnish Mrs. B.' Ninety nine chances to one she gets it, without prescr ption and without difficulty I would astonish you were I to tell you of the number of fashionable women who, to my certain knowledge, go habitually to leading drug stores, stop their carriages at the door, enter, and get their ounce or two of Fowler's solution just as readily as you could procure a glass of soda-water in the same places."—N. Y. Sun. A lady reached tbe passenger depot in Dayton, O., the ether day, just as the train she intended to take was leaving, and as she stood almost crying with vexation on the platform, a gentleman arrived at the depot on a full run, with his carpet-bag in his hand, his coat on hie arm, and his face streaming with perspiration.
