The St. Paul Pioneer-Press has a special from Bismarck which says that Gen. Miles had a successful fight, after an unsuccessful council, with Sitting-Bull on the 91st and 32d, on Cedar Creek, killing a number of the Indians and wounding many others, his own loss being two wounded. He chased the Indians about 60 miles, when they divided, Sitting-Bull going toward Fort Peck, and Gen. Miles following.

Gen. Ilazen has gone to Fort Peck with four companies of infantry, and rations for Miles. Sitting-Bull crossed the river below Fort Peck on- the 24th, and had sent word to the agent that he was coming in, and would be friendly, but wanted ammunition. London dispatches 'of the 31st say that the Emperor William's speech at the opening of the Reichstag has produced an uncomfortable feeling in that capital as well as in Paris and Vienna, on account of its apparent indication that the triple alliance is not considered to be firm. The French papers accept it as a direct menace to France.

The great maritime canal, connecting the city of Amsterdam with the German Ocean, was opened on the 1st with imposing ceremonies. The canal is 16 miles and has at the sea end a harbor covering 250 acres, which, however, is not quite completed. The first Colorado State Legislature convened on the 1st. Webster Anthony was elected Speaker of the House, and with which he is threatened and may at anytime be prostrated.

MINOR NOTES. The United States Government has enter ed suits against Gen. O. Howard to re cover 179,000, as a defaulter In respect to funds entrusted to him in connection with the Freedman's Bureau and Howard General Howard asserts that he has a complete defense.

Dr. Arthurs. Copeland, a well known turfman of New York City, and connected editorially with Wilkef Spirit, committed suicide on the 31st on account of domestic troubles. John II. Lick has commenced proceed ings In the San Francisco courts to set aside the trust deed executed by his father, on the ground that the trustees and others used improper means to Influence the deceased against bis son.

The legitimacy of John H. Lick will be made a prominent feature in the contest by the trustees, and the Im pression prevails that it will be difficult to prove any action on the part of his father by which legitimacy can be established. Two large buildings of the Miami Powder Mills, located 14 miles from Springfield, 0., blew up with terrific violence on the afternoon of the 1st. Michael Deneans was blown to atoms, and several other persons were severely injured. The concussion bo great that windows were broken miles distant.

Walker, one of the publishers of the Iowa Farm Journal, of Des Moines, was found dead in his office on the morn ing of the 29th ult. The cause of his death was a pistol shot in the abdomen, evidently by his own hand, but whether by accident or design it was impossible to ascertain.

General Augur received a dispatch from Artesia, on the 2d, stating that a meeting there on the previous day ended in a free fight, and the wounding of six ne groes, one mortally.

United States troops were called upon by the citizens, and their prompt appearance prevented further dis turbance. The citizens requested the troops to remain to prevent a repetition of the riot. General Maney, Independent candidate for Governor of Tennessee, announced his withdrawal from the canvass on the 2d. The Bishop Allen monument on the Cen tennial Grounds at Philadelphia was un veiled on the 2d. Eugene Catchtngs and Bill Payne were hanged at Kaufman, Texas, on the 3d, for the murder of John Love, near Terrell, in Kaufman County, on the 17th of May last.

Catchings was the son of a Mississippi planter, and was only 22 years of age. Payne was a mulatto, aged about 23, born and raised in Illinois. John Love, for whose murder they were hanged, was an Industrious gar dener from Pennsylvania, 65 years old Robbery was the incentive to the crime. A party of negroes broke into a residence near Aiken, S. on the night of the 2d, and murdered Mr, Hanslam and his nephew, named Postman.

After robbing the premises the murderers fired the dwell' ing.

Ugh there it goes again. Of course that scratching and tapping is the result of those confounded boughs sweeping against the pane, but the result is as sleep-destroying as 'though it were a veritable Fox family rapping seance.

In the pause, the wind being momentarily hushed and his breath bated, he heard a foot step coming along the hall, which end ed with his apartment. 'forestalled, ana pleasantly, too," said Roland, aloud. Come in, don't stand shivering outside alone when you can shiver in good company within." He was certain that it was his ci-devant brother-in-law's in sandal clad, that he heard, and gave him quick welcome.

The door opened of that he was sat isfied, though he found it locked when he went to it next, and recollected then turning the key with a mental hope that no one would come to cause mm the bother of unlocking it. The room was very light, for, looking to the south, was a vast window reaching from ceiling to floor, the heavy drapery of which was looped high up and apart. The moon, in the full, was declining, and wept almost every loot of the floor with her beams, so bright that one might have read an ordinary book in the flood. The door, however, was in the shadow, and Roland continued his greeting. "Is that you, BobP Hurry up: you move as slow as a spook." jno reply was vouchsafed him, and the footfall was quite noiseless on the heavy pile ol carpet.

Roland strained his eyes and presently saw in the edge of the moonlight the bottom folds of a woman's black dress, a white under skirt, and light-colored shoe or slipper. ine idea of its being a ghost never entered his head he thought the visitor a somnambulist, and having heard of the danger of suddenly awakening one so circumstanced, fie held his peace. The woman moved slowly into the full moonlight, stood looking toward the window, then laced about, presenting her profile, clear as a silhouette, to Ro land, wba recognized his visitor at once as Adelaide Munthrope. She remained standing a moment. then seated himself at the table and seemed to grope over its surface, at first carefully and then rapidly, as though disappointed at finding no writing materials.

Presently Roland's diary fell under her hand, and opening it and drawing the pencil from its sheath, she wrote for, maybe, two minutes. Re placing the pencil, shutting the book, and putting it where she found it, she rose, looked toward the window again, and went out, closing the door after her. Roland heard her footsteps dying out down the long echo-breeding hall and sprang from the bed with perspira tion oozing irom every pore of his body. He lit his lamp, drew on drawers, slippers, and dressing-gown, thinking meanwhile that there was something queer about Adelaide Munthrope's presence in the Grange while the owners and occupants seemed so worried and desirous as to her whereabouts. Hasti ly dressed, he took the lamp and walked to the door.

It was locked hard and fast even a chair, which he had moved when he had entered his room, stood in such position that the door could not have been opened without striking and pushing it. Roland gave a low whistle, siuck. ins KnucKies into nis eyes ana Pshaw what an ass I am. But it was the most realistio vision I ever experienced. 'It reminds me of many psy chological oddities I have read of, but never imagined would enact my own proper person." so satisfied was he that it was all a dream, that he did not touch his diary, but extinguished the lamp and went directly to bed and to sleep.

in the morning he spoke of his "dream" to Bob, and -declared his wonder at the exactness and order of the whole affair. Have you looked over your P' asked his mend. "Oh dear! no. That would be to disturb mv vivid recollection of the scene. If 1 found all blank in the book the dream would take rank with those absurd ones that every man has gone through, as well as myself, wherein I have found myself picking up no end of gold and silver coin, and never a pocket to put It in and those others that have distressed me by pict uring my noble form parading the public streets, full dressed, except as to tne important con sideration of breeches." let's look it over, said Mr.

Robert Bullen. description is jolly and if we discover that you were walking your self and did some writing, while fancy ing a proxy, It will be a stunning tale toteii." Roland produced his diary rather re luctantly, and proceeded to turn over tne leaves. Following his own entries, which were few, for the year was still young, about a dozen blank pages had been scanned, when he let the book fall into his lap, and turned pale as a sheet, He looked at Bob, and said slowly and unaer Dream "By Jove, Bob, It was not a dream it was an apparition. Don't laugh at me but my nerves have got down about my heels; 1 never supposed that would be the victim of one of those ao cursed visitations." "Lst ms geo," cried Bob, as he message, and in a woman's writing, plain as print and steady as though written by daylight: I am In Blrndalo Asylum. Come to me at once.

Sunday never seemed so unwelcome to me before." "I know the conductor of the freight running into the city this afternoon, and we can get down on that by 6 'Clock." Good. I can get the necessary let ters of introduction to gain us admis sion, and in the morning we can go over to the asylum by the time the doors are open." Doctor ijuriing was delighted to meet Messrs.

Bullen and Mitchell. The hon or, not to mention the opportunity to oblige the gentlemen from whom they bore letters, and whatoouid he do for them. This superintendent was one of those smooth-faced, plausible, sleek, Oily Gammon sort, that oiler civilities with an expression of fool you if I can, fool you as much as lean," pervading their countenances, actions, and speech. He was continually "washing his hands with invisible soap, in imperceptible water," or touching his Chin with his long, white linger as he period ically cleared his throat with a modest, self-deprecatory "Hem-m-m-m." Roland saw at a glance "that if there was foul play anywhere he would not get much aid from Doctor Gurling to clear it up. He abandoned the straightforward tactics he first resolved on, and asked quietly Have you any objection to showing us over your much-admired and widely-celebrated institution?" "jNot at an," replied the superin tendent.

"What particular feature are you most interested inP" The ques tion also conveyed the sentiment it you are browsing around here to find any thing more than 1 want vou to know, you might as well bundle out at once. "No particular department," replied Roland, "we simply desire to look through the asylum." "Very well, gentlemen this way." Birndale is a very handsome and a model hospital for the insane its architecture is modern, its accomodations ample, its arrangement orderly and neat as wax-work in short, it gains un limited admiration from all wlio inspect it. Robert Bullen was lost in its many winding stairs, branching halls, involv-i ed grades and unexpected turnings and twistings but Roland was a natural geographer he never lost his sense of lo cation or comparison, and when, at the end of three hours' investigation, they reached the doctor's private apartments and sat down to cake and wine, he knew that there was one little wing ust over and back of where he was sit ting, tnat they had not been shown but he had studied the doctor too thor oughly to hint at the omission. When they left the hospital Robert said, with a mournful shake of tLe head Wild goose In the words of Ham let, this spirit you have seen may be a devil, and the devil hath power to as sume a pleasing There are no creatures but mice in Birndale we have not looked over." lioli, Adelaide Munthrope is in Birndale, and, for all we know, more like her, hidden away, in the name of law, without public process, secure from even official intrusions, and subject to horrors that make the memory of Tor-quemada and the Inquisition actually holy." "If there, we must have seen her. Hardly a lust conclusion.

Doctor Gurling knows his business too well, However, 1 have a plan of finding out. I noticed a little saloon up from the station quarter of a mile or so if there are any tipplers among the guards or attendants we will meet them there and if I think money can buy one of them, I'll go to high figures rather than miss a point." For three days Roland hung about the place, taking precious good care that ur. tiuriing should not run across him nor his tracks, and, at last, his patience was rewarded. He found his man, and paid smartly for his intelligence. Adelaide Munthrope was in liirndalo the man had charge of that secret wing where patients were confined whose safety and removal from the world were matters of interest to the Doctor.

They were kindly, nay, tenderly treated, for their death ended their contribution of revenue they were mostly sane, at first, said the keeper, and mostly went mad after a while. The mad ones always lived the longest, for the others pined and died, in spite of good food and considerate treatment. The keep er could not get her out, nor devise a way to do it, but he could give her' a letter and bring a sort of an answer "And I'll pay postage one thousand dollars a letter," said Roland, and if roa are connected with the affair and ose your place, I'll make it five hun dred a year as long as you live, if the lady is released." "Make it sure," said the keeper, "and I'm yours truly." 1 our days afterward the man reoeivcd from Roland all the assurance that legal documents and crisp cash can convey, ana received a reply to the letter he bad sent to Adelaide, in whioh he advised her to make a formal complaint of her immurement and those party to it, Adelaide's letter was simply a piece of brown paper, full of pin-holes. To have been detected writing would have upset every thing, but the shrewdest guard at the asylum saw nothing sus picious in a patient sitting by the grated window of tne ward, apparently prick ing holes in a scrap of papor. Thank God for one ray of hone I the answer read.

Adelaide Mun thrope, appeal to all who have any idea of the horror of conlinement, save among the insane, to release me. Why I am kept in Birndale I know not, but pray to God, to the law, all honest, hoii'. rabie men, to give me enlargement. Armed with this missive, 'tho two friends sped 'away to New York and laid the case before one of the Judges in Chambers, easily procured a writ of habeas corpus and a detail of two clever detoctives to serve it. They also swore out a warrant for illegal detention, to prevent Dootor 'Gurling from playing any little game to defeat thoir search and success.

One Wednesday morning tho smooth Doctor was surprised at another visit from Roland and his party. In reply to the Doctor's What gave him the honor," Roland said We have come- for Miss Adelaide Munthrope, and to make matters brief, allow me to introduce these gentlemen, officers of the court in Now York, provided with a writ for her custody." Dr. Gurling reflected a moment, and said: Well, gentlemen, I suppose I must submit. 1 will give you no trouble, and explain the whole reason of her detention on the understanding that I am not De moiesiea, or ineaiiair not winu to the injury of the institution." "We can make no sucn bargain," replied Roland, except with the consent of Miss Munthrope." At the Doctor's order Adelaide was brought to the parlor, and, after con sultation, she agreed to the Doctor's terms, and that worthy unfolded the following villainous plot Adelaide Munthrope's father, Na than's elder brother, went to California in the early days, and was reported, and currently believed, dead, lie was a rascal it seemed to run in the family -rand originated the report to save bimsolf from prosecution for a series of forgeries he had committed in New lork. lie lived in California, ana amassed great wealth, and died in the arly part of 1872, leaving all his possessions to Adelaide, naming his brother Nathan executor.

Nathan kept his counsel about the legacy, had Ade laide too easily committed to the asylum as a paying patient, and was living in enjoyment of her inhentance. lie had taken Dr. Gurling into his confi dence, and had paid magnificently for her detention. Adelaide consented to the arrest of her uncle, as the surest means of estab lishing her sanity and recovering her property, but the smooth superintendent was true to his patron ana too quick ftr Roland and the officers. He telegraphed to Na han Munthrope that af ternoon, and the rascal gatberea up whatever he could of value, and ab sconded.

Out of Adelaide's fortune of nearly half a million she recovered more than three hundred thousand, and had the. search for her uncle abandoned. She had no recollection of any of the eircumstances attending the means of thu revelation made to Koland at the Grange. When shown the handwriting in the diary, she confessed that it was hers. That night she had thrown herself into an agony of despair upon her bed, dressed she woke in the morning with a sense of hope and relief, but was unable to account for its inspiration, and was not surprised when the keeper of the ward in which she was, bo slyly handed her Roland's letter, and suggested the manner of reply, so that it must be classed with the cases of dual- ty of existence and palpable presence, of which there are many other indisputable evidences on record.

Koland and Adelaide were married about six months ago, at the same time as Robert Bullen and Roland's pretty sister, Mary. May they live long to tell of their wonderful bringing together. Withdrawing Leisurely The Elko (Nev.) Independent tells the following While traveling through Arizona in 1849 with an exploring par ty, we made our camp one evening near a canyon, the bottom of which was covered with fine sand that had drifted from the neighboring plains. While employed in arranging our camp, the botanist of the expedition, Dr. wandered some distance in pursuit of plants.

He returned shortly and re ported that there were Indians near at hand. He was as cool as a cucumber, and didn't show a sign of anxiety or alarm. In answer to our hasty inqui ries, he replied that while he was engaged in examining a fossil specimen he heard a grunt behind him, and on looking around discovered Indian who had seized his gun, which had been placed against a rock. The Indian drew a bead on him, and in retaliation he drew his revolver and signaled the Indian, retreating at the same time toward the canyon, which was close at hand. bred.

un reacning the canyon he walked leisurely into camp. A party immediately set out to determine the possibility of danger, and discovered two Indians and a squaw. After capturing them they 'examined the vicinity in which the Doctor had met with his remarbable adventure. They found his footprints, which signified a cautious retreat to the canyon. lsut alas for the frailty of human nature, his footprints in the canyon were eight feet apart, by measurement, and not exactly indicative ot tne leisurely manner in which he had approached the camp.

The Doctor acknowledged the and remarked tjhat that was about as leisurely as he. ever wished to walk under similar circumstances. Since rock orvstal has become so much employed in optics, the search for it has grown very active. The Alps are the chief field for this industry The searchers generally prosecute their work alone, in order to avoia having to divide the spoil. It involves great la bor and risk.

DaHy feeding and caressing, these had won the pullet'B heart; Following close her master's footsteps, seldom they were far apart; And bis love grew deeper, stronger, with the passing of each day Wiser far than any woman wicked Blobbs was wont to say.

Near by rose a wondrous structure architects their brains had racked Cross between a Chinese temple and a cruet-stand, in fact. This the pretty pullet's dwelling; here she hastened every night; Perched on high, became a rooster, till the dawning of the light. One sad day a Yankee peddler, glib, persuading, passing by, Gazed at Blobbs and that poor pullot with a calculating eye. From his wagon's deep recesses drew out, smiling wickedly, "Johnson's Patent Hen-persuader;" then to guileless Blobbs said he: 1 Here's a marvelous invention I In the box you Bee a nest; Hens at once will lay an egg here, lured to do their very best. Then behol 1 1 Hub sliding bottom lets the egg drop out of view, And the hen somewhat bewildered, lays at once egg number two!" 'Xwoald be ubcIcss to repeat all that this wily peddler said ThiB suffices.

Blobbs, unwary, by his specious tongue misled, Bought the "Patent Hen-persuader" sat his snow-white pullet on, Locked them both within the hen-house ere he went to town that morn. Business then engrossed him fully, till, with num'rous cares beset, Who can wonder that the pullet and her nest he should forget? Nothing all day to remind him; but returning late at night, Flashed a sudden recollection, and his cheek grew pale with fright. Bushing madly from the station, straight he Bought the hen-house door, Called his pet in tones entreating. Ah I she'll never answer morel Full of gloomiest forebodings, In he dasr.es; finds the nest Overflowing with its treasures yes, she's done her level best. Forty-seven eggs I and near them head and tail and wings still lay, For the poor, ambitious pullet thus had laid herself away I Novemhtr Marper'i.

ADELAIDE'S DOUBLE. The absence of Adelaide Munthrope had grown into mysterious disappearance the evening that Roland Mitchell dined with the Bullens, and, retiring to his bed in a distant chamber of the Grange, found himself unaccountably interested in the questions and surmises started by the young lady's probable fate or whereabouts. He knew Nathan Mimthrope, Adelaide's uncle, well, and had casually met her in society, making her acquaintance in an uninterested sort of way, and regarding her so indifferently that reallv he -could not determine whether he was in company with her twice or thrice after introduction. The family was nothing more, to him than merely friends of the Bullens one of whom had married his and a younger one, a college chum, wag to marry his sister. So very slight was this bona 01 union, that Ko land lay awake full two hours, wondering why his mind should be so engaged with Adelaide Munthrope's affairs, and why he should lie awake considering them.

Miss Munthrope was a slightly built, pale, feeble-looking; creature, with a certain prettiness of feature, the chief charm of which -was a large, liquid, blue almost -gray, fringed with long, black lashes. Her forehead was too high for a woman, and combing down her wavy hair, to contract its area, only served to make her angular, sunsen cheeKs all the paler by contrast, She had wonderful self-possession, an indomitable will that never would brook contradiction, and a fervid imag ination, whose vagaries often tended at once to amuse, delight, and shock her mother and the companions of her Mot habits were au 'precise she was methodical, taciturn, quiet, an determined, and had a knowledge of men and motives, arts and events, far beyond her years. It had become so generally understood that she was cut oat for an old maid that the announcement of her marriage and departure for Europe gave every body the utmost surprise. People in general thought it singular that no pint 01 marital inten tion should have got abroad but Na than Munthrope gave such positive as-suranoes and as there were no grounds for objection, contradiction, or dispute. the matter was acquiesed in for six whole months." At the end of that time no word had come from Adelaide to relatives nr lcnuaintances.

and Gossip shook her head, while Rumor let all her tongues loose at onoe. This was the situation, when Roland went up from New York to the Grange on Saturday afternoon in Januarr, 1873, and heard the theories and queries called up by the very singular aspect of Miss Munthrope case. It was 11 o'clock: when Roland re tired, ho heard the lock strike one, as be tried, for the fiftieth time, to dis W. W. Webster, President pro tem.
