ANOTHER EXPRESSION FROM CARL Sch UNZ.— Since some peopie and still pro- fessing to bave donbts of Mr. Schurz’s views, we take the liberty to dispose of them by printing the followiug extract from a Etivate letier just received from Senator Seburz:—“There is astriking coutrast be- tween the hard-roft money mixture in the democratic platform and candidates, and the Strong, fearless assertion of moral duty tn the fipa@ncia! paragrayh of Governor Hayes’ letter of acceptance. The views he expresses about the elvil service for the most eompre- hensive, most clearly defined, and in every respect mcst satisfactory civil service reform programme I ever sw uttered in a few words; and that programme is accompanie1 by the pledge of an honest man that, if he is elected, it shail be faithfuily carried out in its completeness, and that no personal am- bition shall interfere with the work. Never had civil service reformers a better opportu- nity to fight with a chance of real success—I mean the success of the cause, and not only the success of a candidate or bg ee A Ishail support Governor Hayes artily and actively, and I have never felt. more clearly conscious of doing the right thing for the best interests of the couuiry.”—[.V. ¥.

STARVING LABoRERS—A Threat.—A large romber of laborers assembled yesterday morning opposite Mayor Yates” office, in Newark, and the five men appointed as a committee to represent their grievances en- tered the office. The spokesman, John Mc- Qoade, said that they represented a arge number of men who were at starvation point. Street Commissioner Morris had not treated them right, as he bad a number of favorites to whom he gave constant em- ployment, instead of dividing what work Where was among them in turns. If the city took the work into Its own hands, instead of giving itout to contractors, it would be bet. ter for the workingmen. The mayor said he Would consult with the aldermen and see what-onid bedone. He had no power him- self to give them work. He was sorry to bear tbat there was distress among them, and thanked them for their orderly beha- viovren the evening previous. The tnter- view was then concluded, Me(uade thank- ing the mayor for his good intentions. Just as they were going away, John Coyle, oneat the committee, said: “We were peiceable last plight because we thought you woalddo something for us we may not be ao at quiet if we get nothing todo.”—(N. ¥ Sun, ° ith, MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF AN HEIR TO LakGr EsTATES —Among the passengers on the steamship Abyssinia from Liverpool, recently, was S.

He exercises tbe most absolute control over his followers of any single Indian on the continent. I say this after a tolerably extensive observation of Indian character and tribal government, and illustrate it by the following incident: A number of the former followers of Sitting Bull, who had beea induced to come to; temporary agency, where it was hoped S! Ung Buil himself would follow, were giving their ideas and estimate of his character, some of them freely expressing the opinion that his courage and centrol had been very greatly overestimated, and that he Was in fact @ rather contemptibie fellow, whom no oue feared or looked up to. In the midst of this somewhat informal talk, Sit- ting Bull bimself stalked into the group with six chiefs, to the evident surprise and con- sterpation of the whole company, and glanced about haughtily on his recusant foliowers. In an instant every indian in the group plucked the*‘coup feathers” from their heads and thrust them under their blankets, asa group of soldiers would hastily salute if their general should suddenly appear in their midst. It was @ mark of respect seldom seen among Indians, and it gave the lie to all their contemptuous talk about him, and showed the feeling of reepect and fear in the most striking manner. His whole bearing during his brief stay was haughty, defiant, and implacable towards the whites, thongn | he offered no violence to the fouror five | Whites who were present. He contented himself with telling them that he would ac- cept no favors from them, recelving none of thetr presents, and that they might spare theméelvesgtbe trouble of ripe | to induce him to be a party to any treaty of peace. It bas been customary among newspaper correspondents to ridicule the power of tnis terrib'e chief, and to treat his existence as a chimera of Indian agents and contractors. But Gen. Custer has met him in battie be- fore, and found him a foeman not to be des- pised. It is to be feared that this whole campaign was planned on the theory that Sitting Bull was much less powerful than be régily is, and that to this misapprenen- sion the “mistake” of Custer, as Gen’i Sheridan calls it, we are to attribute the de struction of more than one per cent. of the entire American army in the recent battle.— ( Corre: pondence Cincinnati Commercial.

SomMETHING Hor.—Writing from Calcut- 8, India, in 1837, Macaulay said: ‘We are annually baked four months, boiled four more, and allowed four more to get cool if Wwe can. At this moment the gun ts blazing like @ furnace. The earth, soaked with oceans of rain, is steaming like a wet blan- ket. Vegetation is rotting all around us.

Within this fence stood the stately trees which overshadowed the roofs, and rows 0 @ slim and graceful bamboo, growing not in clusters further south, but in single stems. The little plot between the house- nd the paling was planted with let- tuces and other vegetables. The Chinese husbandma™ grodges even a corner to gar- den fowers; but here and there bloomed a few asters or chrysanthemums which would put our Temple garden shows toshame; and once in @ way, the gorgeous crimson of the gigantic Chinese cocktcomb glowed against the dingy backgrounds of the farmhouse wall. The first tints of autumn were already deepening on the leaves, and ricn yellows, browns and reds added cotor to @ picture which would otherwise have fy too great a sameness of hue. The dwellings invariably faced the esplanade, and filied up an interval in the fence, which joined them ateitherend. We willdescribe one. It was long and low, without an upper story. The principal room was in the center and was entered by wide folding doors. Within it the members of the family who were not in the flelds could be seen at meals, or at in- door work. Some few perhaps were weav- ing long strips of coarse cotton cloth on the esplanade in front. Ata window was an aged dame whirling a spinning-wheel, or turning the rollers of the simple machine Ubat irees the white tufts of cotton from the seeds. A sharp twanging sound Issued from the chamber at the side. By inquiry we learned that it was caused by young lads “‘teazing” the cotton into thin flakes With a quaint implement like @ fiddle-bow. The hegre was received with civility, or rather with that absence of civility which seems the sum total of politeness am ong the Chinese.

The children and the younger woren retreated within the gates, or back to the farther corner of the room, when the strepge face of the “barbarian” was seen approaching. The former had already donned their winter clotbing, as early and late ihe autumn air was fresh and nipping. The blue blouses and leggings, quilted and stuffed with cotton, were piled on one above snother, till the little wearers looked like Tolniature balloons. The gait of the women With their poor pinched feet, according to the universal custom in these Nortuern Provinces, was ungraceful in the extreme, and they toddled avout in so uncertain a | manner as to excite astonishment at their | untiring industry in the fielas.

There was littie to at- tract the stranger to stay, or to induce him | to investigate the style and processea of the | native farm. Foul odors assailed his sense of smell a8 soon as he approached one of | these latter. The ditch between the home- | stead and the felds was but @ fetid sewer. Unutterabie horrors were collected beneath the windows by the wayside, and the flith Of the garments Of men, and Women and the children was such as must be seen to be believed. The comfort, and even abundance, of which 80 many signs were evident, was overlaid by a superlativeness ofdirt which tre squalor attexdant on the most abject Poverty can bardly mateh.

Such cumulus clouds always precede ani characterize a local summer storm or shower. When the warm horizontal current from the South, as in winter, meets with the cold cu. sents of the north, it slopes upward over the cooler current, and forms strips or bands | of stratus clouds along the horizon. These Stratus clouds indicate to the observer | the fact that a warm current is coming northward.

Thus is produced the combination of cumulo-stra- tus cloud, which ie characteristic of pro- gressive summer storms.
