Tho Ga.ette'a Fort Smith special says: Greenleafnear Port Gibson, in the Cherokee T 'Nation, a point about fifty miles west of Fort Smith, was the scene ol a horrible tragedy on Sat urday. The Creek and Cherokee Indians were having a barbecue prcpartory to nom inating their caudidatc for tho election next week. YYbisky flowed as treely a milk and honey in thu promised land. Two full blooded Indians, Bill Lovutt and Deer Track, became lighting druuk and in their drunkcD frenzy made an onslaught on ion.fi of thu party. Seven men were killed or mortally wounded. Two men, Jim Suiter-wait and his father, were first shot and had their beads completely severed from their bodies by the crazed demons. Tbe murderers are at lurge, no effort lieing nlade to arcst them. Owing to Whisky. Warns Hall, III., July 18.-Whisky is in a fair way to mako tho corner of this county ono of tho wealthiest men in it. Within as many months it has furnished him with four subjects for inquests, and yesterday at Hoodhouso thu preliminary steps were taken which will, in all prob ability, supply him with thu fifth. Ad Currier is about 30 year of age; Lewis: Mc, NEW Gee about 50, and lame. Both reside at RKdhou9e. Suuday they engaged in a fight in a grove near the town. The young man was getting the better one, when the latter drew a knite and nearly disemboweled his assailant. 3IcGee was arrested, aud Currier is in charge of physicians with but slight chances of recovery. WKare pleased to record the following opiniou by J. A. Daniels, Esq., of 3Iessrs. Stogdill & Daniels, attorneys, La Crosse Wis. which appears in the La Crosse Chron icle. Sometime sine I was attactcd with pain and slight swelling in and below one ot ray knee joints. A few applications of St. Jacobs Oil quieted tho pain and relieved the inflamation.' I regard it aa a valuable medicine U-uiii'i pr.ov! i xi sweet as it is insineeiM. It has been devrpod lr the !nd'n board of works that for thn improve-' nient of tbe church-yard of St. Mar garet's, in West mi nstcr, tho sum of 1,000 shrill be expeudd, and tliat a garden shall in fact bo made of the groiiods. Of bile years the historic ciiurch, so intimately associated with sumo of the most famous events in Eiijj'ish history, hns bt'cti sadly and shamelessly neglected. A serious qnr t'on is brought homo to the London church authorities as London expands itself and the population makes its homes further and further away from tho centre of the town. Churches are becoming de;nrt., srid. some of the noblest monuments of tho gonius of Wren are stranded in tho haunts of trade. Horses Three Abreast. Tho American Express Company, s.iys the ditzcllc, has introduced into New York lltn system of I. :it n easing used on tho Loudon oiunibus"S, by wuich ttireo horses are harn-ssed in nearly the sumo way as we hat nes. a team. The change has been made on two of the wagons as an exi eriment, with very satisfac tory results. The wagons ate supplied with two pules instead of uo, and each of the throe horses is attached to a separate whifhVtrefl. This is found to bo a detlled improvement over the system sometimes tned of pulling one horse in Mhufls and another at each side. The harnessing is practically tho same as with two horses, with two poles instead of one. The experiment is tried upon wagous that deliver goods in tbe upper part of the city, not only because tne loads are frequently loo heavy for two horses, but to onable the drivers to make up for lost time,, wilh increased rate of speed when from any cause they are tie laved at the stun. ' tl m i now Sleigh Bells are Mak It ha-, no doui i, hm'ii T mystery to many how tho iron ball inside of sleigh bells got there, and il is said to have taken 'considerable thought on the part of the iliscoverer before Uio idea struck him. In making sleigh btd.'s tho iron ball is pul inside a sand core, just tho shape of the inside of the bell. Thou a mould is made just Ihe shape of tlio outside of tbo beil. 'I bis sand core, wilh Ihe j'ngleftnsitle, is placed in the mould ot the outside, uud tho melted niulal is poured in, which tills up the space between tho tote and mold. The hot metal bums tho core so that il can till be shaken out, leaving the ball wita in the shell, i... . ..i.o., sw'.vtd joints and many other aiticles.are cast in the same manner. This was indeed, an important discovery.

Stead y, so. "Steady it is, father." The first words wera spoken in a voice rendered husky hy wind and came from tin lungs of the bronzed old Captain of the ferry bout Mystic, plying between the li ivorsti'aw brici-ynrds and the miiroad-station of Cruger'a six miles away, on the opposite shore of the Hudion River. 1'hey had no ref. rouee to the wine- of Opoito, but were uttered in the form of instructions to his daughter in ihe pilot-house, who who was steering the boat while her father collected the fares of the live passengers who were crossing from llaverstraw. Tho reply came, with sea-woman-like brevity, from, a pretty girl about 20 years of age, who, with bare arms and dressed in a neatly-lilting gown, was at the wheel. "Does your daughter always steer " the boat?" the reporter asked, when the Captain earn for hU fare. ' Well, no," was th reply,, ' Her brotner sometimes sleer; but 1 mostly steer myself. When the boy is away Hattie comes along, for some one elsa must stand by tho wheel whilo I'm t.ikin' up fares. But Hattiu's a good girl, and knows tho run of the river. She's ' a good hand at the wheel, too, and I feel as safe with her steering as I would if her brother was there aye, as safe, almost, as if I was in the pilot house myself. Let bur off a little, Hat tie. my girl. Starboard now." "Maiboaru it is, lather. "Why don't you lot her collect tho faros, and steer the boat yourself?" V. ell, you see, tho Laptain an swered, ".t requires a sight of experi ence to collect fare-, and 1 doubt H. it tie, though she's a clever girl, mightn't be able to do it," "A man must bo a thorough seaman to collect them properly, I suppose," hazarded the rejMrtei "By thunder, he must know what he's about, "tho Mntic's master replied, turning quickly toward his questioner, "or he's apt to miss one or two. You haven't paid vi.ur's yet." The reporTi castiiy produced the money, ami banded it to the Cap tain, with an apology. "Oh, it's all right," the Captain said "only it just shows you iiov careful even an experienced man must be. Now, Hattie, bo careful. Su-ady." "Steady it is, father." And the Myotic glided into the slip. Tiio streets of Cuiro ar to have their names inscribed in Arabic and French, and the hou-ies numbered. Il will be tho first Mussulman town with such indications. Oar Soap-Maa's Last. That is it was tbo lat 1 heard. I sneak of RnTmnnd, the soap-man of Worcester. Mass. It; -was holding toY, one-evening, praising the quali ties Of his soup, when a man in the cro.vd asked him if it would wash any bettor than any other soap. " Wash!" cried Raytuoud, razing in blank amazement upon the benighted individual in u. ;iuont and then in pity. "Will t wash? Let mo tell you. "Listen, gentlemen. I have never tol l this circumstance, but I will tell it now. You know I went away to Can ada onew, to sell my incomparable soap. Well while on that trip, I had occasion to take passage in a small brig, Hnd while at sea a terrible storm arose. Our skipper declared it to bo the most terrilic storm ho had ever ex perienced. There were six men in the crew, besides the captain. Four of thiso mon wem knocked overboard, and lost, by the jibbing of tho main boom. The other two were swept off by a tremendous sea. "0! it was dreadful. The captain and I were left alone. He knelt down and began to pray. And so did I pray. But, gentlemen, all of a sudden, when it seemed as though every minute must bo our last when the vessel wis tilled with water and ready to go down in that awful moment I thought of my soap. I had a box of it in a cuddy on. dock. I called 'the captain, and wo went in there and stripped stripped to tho skin, gentlemen and then w e lath ered ourselves with that soap. Two cakes did it.
