The Cloud Removed, A cloud has rested upon the title of a small strip of land about 150 feet wide and running w0 a point which lies between the two *‘eighties”of the soutneast quarter of soction four, being the land npon which the South Ouwaha stock yards stand and the parcel of land adjoining it, which also belongs to the stock yards company, This land was pre-empted years ago by Fred Drexel and L. A, Walker. After they had occupied the land for some time a gov- ernment survey was ordered, which was very imperfoctly avne, leaving the Lnes in an irregular shaj This survey gave to Walker about three acres more than his quarter should coutain and deprived Drexel of the the same number of acres. Walker sold hisland to Balthas Jetter, and described tho land in such a way as to leave out these three acres. Jetter sold the land 1o the Stock Yards company, describing the land in the same way. This left three acres the |m:}-crly of Wuikor, The discrepancy was discovered when tho Stock Yards company came to_survey their land for the purpose of laying it off intw lots, and an effort was mado to get Walker wo f:ol«l thew the three ucres, which he refused do. Mr. Walker has been in the city for some time, and pressure has been brought to bear on him 10 induce him to muke the deed. Hon. John A. MoShane informed a Her reporter last night that the Stock Yards company had received tho deed yestorday, and that thoy now had & cloar title to the property. e Buarned to Death, Sioux Ciry, Ia., July 11.—(Special Tele- gram w Tug Bes]-The residence of B.

Ho acknowledged the embezzle: ment and turned over his residence property and some otber roal estato which he owned hore, but is yet bohind $500. Wilcox has boen a trusted employe in the bank for the past three years, aud his purloining began at tho time the bank opencd and continued until about two months ago, whon he resigned his position, It is a question as to what he did with the funds, as he lived plainly and never gambled. Mr. F. B Will- iams discovered the deficiency sooa after taking possession, some three months ago, by a careful persual of its business from the time the bank opened. No arrests have been made, and Wilcox and his family have left the city, but it is possible he may be brought oack. W. L Farley and W. H. Streeter, who have been interosted in the bank -during the past three years, placed implicit confidence in Wilcox, and he was trusted with the workings of the bank in its entirety.

Save us ‘from‘'the neighbor who hinks herself; infimate enough to be privilezed to_ éntet . qur houso without knocking, says Texas Sifting: can nev foresee. when she down upon you. Do you stand before your mirror, razor in hand, in shirt sleeves, with face covered by lather? Then it is that she glanced in with a smirk, *“‘Just to say good morning,” and ruffies your temper and demolishes your senso of dignity. Is your wife without a cook or maid, and isshe in the kitchen flushed, and verspiring, and untidy, getting up a hasty meal? The intimate neighbor is dead sure to run in unannounced. and, when you beg her to step into the sitting-room, coolly pusses you and surprises the mis- tress of the house over the hotstove. Then, too, sec the wretched efforts the latter makes to appear at ease, and to make the vuigar visitor feel that it is delightful forone to be surprised with her hands in dish-water and a soot spot on her check, is enough to give one the lock-jaw. And as for the misera- ble man who tried in _vain to stop the lady in the parlor—his actions in the cy of the bedchamber are those of a wiid and desperate creatu 1s there no remedy for this most intolerable of all nuisances? ———— Hot Weather Maxims. The Listener has three tried and trustworthy maxims for hot weather conduct, and outside of them he knows no trick or device by means of which the dog star can be circumvented, says a writer in the Boston Traveller. These maxims are: 1. Wear as light and loose clothing as you dare. 2. Take plenty of exercise, but in a calm way 8. Drink no alcoholic or effervescent beverages. The clothing quostion is easily settled. With $15 & man can at least get certain articles of clothing that will make him very comfortable on a hot day, as far as clothing can go. In exercising, the great point is not to be afraid of the heat, but not at the same time to choose violent diversions. Tho youth or mai- den who is in the habit of playing base ball or lawn tennis, aud quite accus- tomed to the exercise, may play it on a hot day as safoly as ever, and people who are in the habit of walking a fair amount have nothing to fear but every- thing to gain frdhieeping uptheir cus- tomary exercise i’ summer. But ex- coptional physical pests should certainly be avoided under a burning sun. -t One of the Old Familles. The 800th anniVersary of the oldest reigning house iff 1rope, the house of Waettin, the ruléts'of Saxony, was cele- brated with Krmq gplendor in Dresden June 18, They olaiwm to be the oldest sovereign family fa/urope, three cen- turies older than,4hb Hohenzollerns or ‘Hapsburgs; oldet é¥en than the Wit~ tolsbachs of Bawif#a, who celebrated their 700th anni ry last year. The Guelphs are uldfi; ,han the Woettins, though their onl" ale representative in Europe is the Duke of Cumberland. The Prince of¢Wales is a Guelph through his mblher and a Wettin through his father. The Emperor of Germany was present at the fete, of which one feature was a procession of 12,000 persons, covering in its chavac- ter the entire period of Wettin domina- tion. It began with knights in armor and ended with gay costumes illus- trating the Dresden figures. e Doparted Glories of the Tullories, The site of the Palace of the Tuiler- ies was thrown open two weeks ago, says a Paris dispatch, as a public gar- deéu.

(via Chambor- lafn, Dalk.,) July 11.—[Special Telogram to Tie Bep.|~The commission left here this afternoon for Chamberlain, where they take their car for Pierre, arriving there about Saturday evoning at 8 p. m. Considerablo work has been done with the Indians during the past twenty-four hours by General Crook and Governor Ioster. All yesterday afternoon the general was in consultation with the londing Indlans, but found they were playing the commission for what they could got out of them. They advanced ideas, but the general arove them out of every po- sition they assumed until evening, when he had so far brought them into line as to make them anxious to come to some terms. In the evening Governor Foster went out to where they were holding & council and dance, with the intention of using the Ohio political idea with them, but it seems that this idea is not one that can be worked suo- cessfully here, for this morning found the Indians in an entrenched position, ready to Argue the questior. One bundred and twenty-scven have signed here and the lists wero loft in the hands of the agent for further signatures. General Crook says it is a mistaken idea t0 be in any way familiar with tho Indian or lead himn to believe you are at all anxious to make him proposals, but, on the contrary, to wait proposals from 'him and conceds slowly to him what he wishes if in reason. The general expressed himsclf as more dis- couraged this morning than at any time since these neyotiations began. He is not entirely hopoloss of success, but thinks thay more time will be needed at the upper agencies, and he may return w Pine_Ridgo o complete the work there, where he still has hopes of succes: Soge NOT QUirE LOST. Chambers’ Journal: Tn the spring of 18— I was ut one of the islands on the vest coast of Africa,anxious to take the first chance that offered of getting back to old England. One of the huge cape mail boats was due in about a week from the time my story commences— boats which combine the comforts of a fi ass notel with the nearest ap- proach to absolute safoty that persons trusting themselves to the meroy of the sea can reasonably expect, I did not, however, intend to wait for the mail- bout if any other yoessel offercd o chance of getting to England before her. One morning a steamer came in bound for England, She was a cargo boot, but carrying a few passengers, and the cap- tain said he could make room for me. Beforn taking pussage in this vessel I had a good look at her, and I came to the conclusion that, though the not many comforts on board, at an) she looked like a good, safe seaboat. She had plenty of freeboard; indeed, I found out afterward that her cargo was a light one, consisting of wool and raw hides, so that she was higher out of water than usual, and she had good beam for her length, I wenton board about 8 o'clock on a Friday evening. The weather was beautiful. The deep blue sky—set off by the still deeper blue of the sea, only broken here and there by the smallest of ‘“‘white horses,”—and the island glowing in all the beauty of tropical sunshine, made a picture not casy to forget. The passengers consisted of cighteen first-class und ton stcerage. Amongst the former were two ladies and four little children. The crew mustered about twenty men all told. After dinner 1 went on deck to smoke the pipe of peace and think of wife and children, who were being* brought nearer to me by every throb of the pow- erful engine: All the cabins were on the upper deck, the hold being devoted to cargo, with the exception of one small cabin for tho stewart. The vessel was steered from the bridge, but there was another wheelhouse right aft, for use in case of emergency. She carried two masts, and was square-rigged on her foremast. Next day when I turned out wo we out of sight of land; the weathei still fine, though there was a little sea, caused by the northeast trade wind, which was blowing steadily, though not very strongly against. us. All went well until the evening. At 6 o'clock the cabin passengers dined, the cap- tain, a ruddy faced smlor, who leoked as if he had no cares in the world, tak- r the head of the table, and the doc- tor, a self-possessed, wi Iittle man, taking the other end. A dinner went on the flow of small talk increased, till, toward the end there was a regular hum of conversation, and wost of us were looking tolerably contented and hapy Suddenly the whole scene changed; firsh came a crash which secmed to shake the whole ship from end to end; and then serape, thud, hammer, as th engines continued to me olutions before they were stop; we were at least 200 miles from any land or shoal water, I knew instinc- tively that the screw shaft was broken, and that in all probability those last two or three revolutions had done ter- rible mischief. We ull made the best of our way on deck. The passengers were not very much alarmed a8 yet: but I noticed u look of great anxiety on the captain’s face as ho hurried awsy. It soon trunspired that the shaft was broken, and the broken enas hammer- ing against each other before the en- gines could be stopped, had broken the after-bearing where the shaft passes out through the ship, and water was pouring in there into the tunnel (50 or 60 feet in length) leading to the engine room, along which the shaft passes. The well was sounded—about a foot of water was found, ana preparations were at once mude to get the pumps at work, 1 must now recount, » noble deed, which under any other circumstances might well haye earned u Victoria cross, The tunnel which I have just mentioned ended st the engine room with u water- tight door in a so-called water-tight bulkhead. The chief engineer, ing at once what had bappened, and finding a large body of watcr coming out of the tunnel, called for volunteers to go with him up the tunnel and tr to stop the leak. The danger was very great; the tunnel was already half fuil of water, the rush of which wus 80 strong that it was difficult to walk against it, and at the rate it was rising it seemed al- most impossible for men to get to the end of the tunnel and back again before it was full of water, in which case they must have been drowned. One man only responded to the appeal of the chief; and these two brave fel- lows, regardless of everything but their duty, dashed into the tunnel, carrying blankets and ropes to secure over the leak. They metually gotto the end of the tunnel and succeeded in placing the blankets over the hole; but before they could secure them the rising wuter kuow- | forced them baok, Just filling the tun- nel as they were dashed back into the engine room. Then, with groat dif- cully, the wator-tight door was closed, and the fires not having been put out, though the water had nearly risen up to them, they wero able to work a pow- erful steam pump with which the vessel was fitted, soon reducing the wator in the engine room. The water-tight bulk- hend was still leaking badly in several places, and it required all the skill of the ohief engineer to make 1t suffi- clently tight to peovent the water from gaining on the pumps inside the engine room, Abaft the engine room the vater was ravidly rising. Somo of the passongers had boen set to work at a hand-pump on deck, but being a noor pump, it was worked very hard with little resalt. Wa took the work in two gangs, twonty minutes off and on, and 1 found myseif smoking my pipe between the spolls with considerable comfort. The well was sounded again, and five feet of water found in it. Shortly after this, the captain told me |)r‘w‘n|flf)‘ that there was no chanco of saving the ship, and he was shortly going to give the order to prepare th: bonts for leaving hor. Thiaorder was soon given; and then appoared the only sign of a panic which 1 saw from first to last. Some of the orew, which was composed of men of several nationalities, made n dash at ono of the boats. with the intention of etting away in her by themselves. The night was dark, the moon not hav- ing yet risen, so that they were not no- ticed for a minute or two; but when the mates found out what was going on, !}my bundled them out of the boat in no time. About this time I had occasion to go through the saloon; the stoward was there; and although he knew that or- ders had been given to leave the ship, he was bysy dusting some glasses in a rack, and had u\'idsntl{ been round the snloon putting everything in perfoct order, 0 that it might go to the bottom tidy. 1 suppose habit was second na- ture to him. On going out I passed the cabin where the four chil('lmn were peacefully steeping. I could not help peeping in; but it was sad to look at the rosy cheeks and penceful faces of the little ones, and to think what a small chance they had of surviving a long boat-cruise. The vessel was well found in boats, six in all—four large ones and two light gigs. [t was decided to use ouly the four large hoats, as they would take us all; and we set to work to get them swung out and provisioned in a hur It was an exaiting time! If the vessel had been sinking quickly, we should not have got one bout away, Nothing would work easily; the davits stuck for along time and resisted all our efforts 10 turn them; and the falls jummed in the blocks. Moreover, the boat I was told off to had been painted the day bo- fore and was all over wet paint, whizh made it more difficult to handle her, besides leaving a reminder on ono's garments. However, it was done at last; and tinned meats, biscuits and water put into each boat. As toour water-cask, it was so rotten 1t could not hold water at all and we had to content ourselves with filling a few bottles. The captain then ordered the women and children and one sick man into the boat he was going to take charge of; and in they got the boat still swinging at the davits. One old man brought all his heavy boxes from the cabin, and placed them beside the boat he wus going in; and when told he could only take some wraps, he quietly dragged them to the cabiu. Just as the order was going to be given for all to leave the ship, and even the man at the wheel had been called away, the chief engineer came on-deck and said to the captain: **Don’t you leave the ship, sir; I believe we can save her.” He explained that though the engine room bulkhead had leaked considerably, he and his men had made it nearly tigiit, and what little water came into the engine room was easily pumped out again; and though the water was still rising abaft the engine room, it was not rising so fast as it did at first; and the vessel, in his opinion, was suro to float for some hours yet, if she could not be kept afloat altogather. The captain consented to wait till daylight, and we men went back to the puinps, though the poor women and children were still kept swinging at the davits, the captain being afraid to take them cut of the bhoats for fear there would not ba time to get them in again. But after about two hours of it he let them come out. The dreary night wore on. Cocon, and once & drink of rum, were served out to the men at the pumps, When the rum came—a wineglassful w every two men—the man I started with was a grimy stoker, and he had first druvk; for a moment T hesitated when my turn came; but the claims of exhausted nature were not to be denied. ‘The moon was up now. We got some sail on the vessel, and headed her for Madeira, which was abut two hundred miles distant, and the wind fair, As far as we could see no vessels were in sight; but some rockets were tried, Only one of them, however, went up, the rest be- ing damp and useless, Sunday morning broke at last. A sad Sunday!” We anxiously scanned the horizon; there wus notu sail in sight anywhere. “I'he bulkhead, which was keeping us up for the time being, was amidship,but nov quite, it being a_ little aft of that position, so not quite half the vessel was at the mevey of the leak. Shortly after daylight there wasa con- sultation in the captain's cabin as to what should be done. 1t was decided to take the hatches off and throw over all the cargo abalt the engine room that could begot at, There was a steam- winch available, and a derrick was soon rigged up. The cargo we could get at was all wool, in bales of about one thou- sand weight cach, and,as bale after bule went over the side, we made a long wake of them, as they did not sink at once, The weather still kept fairly fine, Had iv not been for this we could not have taken off the hatches, as the after- port of the vessel was by this time rather low in the water, and we should in all probability have been unable to save the ship. j The steward had not neglected his duty, and had prepared s good a break- Tast a8 he could manage: and mochanie- ally we went to it, notthat anybody had | any real wish to go to broukfast, but as & matter of habit. It was an uncanny thing, alsn, to take a meal in a eabin which one felt almost sure would be at the bottom of the seaibefore tho next meal time came round. Yet, in we went, the captain taking the head of the table as usual; but he conld oat nothing, and even his jovial ruddy face } was much altered. Shortly after breakfast, one of the sailors who was on the lookout cricd 'Sail ho!” We talily saw what ap- peared to b a sail; but it disappe and again u{.murevl in a curious man- ner. Everybody brightened upat this news, particularly the poor women; hut after careful eximination through the gluss, it turned out to be only some whales spouting. Ten feet of water being in the hold by the afternoon, the stern of the v sol wis very much lower in the water. | Towurd evening, us tha light was be- zinning to fade, we saw & steamer; but its masts and funnel. Wo had an old carronade whioh had probably lnst been fired at the battle of the Nilo, This was_loaded, and with groat diffoulty fired; but it took such a long time that the steamer_was but of sight before it woat off, and no result followed. We | also tried one or two more rockets, but it was of no use. Sundny night. All the cargo in the | after-hold that could be got at had beon thrown overboard, so, by.way of using the stoam-winch, o large cask was ri god up and lowered into tho hold, filled with water, hoisted up avd tipped over- board. This could be done about twice a minute, and helped considerably to keep tho water down. The stonoh from the hold added now to our discomforts, « as the raw hides and wool began to fer: ment, owing to the action of the water combined with the heat of the weathor. But that was a small matter. And so the socond night went on. The grent ship looming agninst the star-lit eky with her dark, square smls sot on the foromast, her stern nearly lovel with it, and threo rod lights on hor foremast—signals of distress— looked like some huge monster out of a fairy tale stricken nigh unto death, but struggling on while life lnsted, There were some ocurious Lraits of character exhibitod on the part of both crew and passengers, though most of thom did thoeir duty’ quietly and man= fully. One man, a stoorago passenger, took to his berth aflter the accident happened. When the second mato went to rouse him up and make Rim take his turn at the pumps, he said ‘*ho was not going to pump; he knew tho vossel was going down. and he would die comfortable in his borth. In fact, he was left there, as the mate had no time to waste over him. Another manarmed himself with & revolver with the intention of shoot- ing himself if the worst came to worst, a8 ho said he preferred shooting to drowning. The revolver was taken from him At 8:30 on Monday morning, just be- fore the first glimmer of daylight ap- peared, we sighted another steamer. 0 rockets were left, but fortunately there was a roman candle, and this was supplemented by a blue light. The vessel was about three miles away, and passing us at that distance. For about two minutes after the blue light had died out, we all strained our eyes in anxious silenco, but the stranger was keeping & good lookout, and at the end of that timo & bright light appeared from its deck for a moment,and vhen up into the clear sky shot & majostio rock- rocket, and bursting at a great height, showered down its colored bails. 1 have seen many rockets, but never en- joyed the sight of one so much as I did then. A deep sigh of relief pnssed through all the assembled watchers, ana almost immediately thereufter we could see all three of the steamer’s lights, showing that she was steoring straight for us. She soon got along- side a8 nearly as she dared,and her cap- tain having areanged to tow us to Ma- deria, distant about 190 miles,if we could keep our vessel afloat, we were taken in tow. To manage this we had to lower one of our bouts; and the trou- ble vie had in getting that boat safely afloat gave us some idea of the difficulty and danger there would have boen, n the state of the s in getting overy- body safely away in the boats. Y e had two more nights and days of pumping and bailing, the wator still gradually gaining on/us. Once or twice we managed to lower it an inch or two, but wo soon 108t the advantage we had gained. So matteis went on. The last night, before we got in, I nor ticed that every now and theh Little dark shadows fliitered across the deck, which I wasat a loss to account for, The mystery was explained the next moraing, for one of the children hap- poning 0 go into the after-wheelhouse which was not used in a geneeal wa found nearly all the rats in the ship as- sembled there. They had forsaken the hold, either becauso they considered the risk of drowning was too great there, or possibly with some desperate hope of being able to leave the ship be- fore she went down. We made a raid on them and eleven rats came to an un- timely end; “‘the rest they ran away.” Having sighted and pussed the inhos- pitable island of Poalo Sauto, we ar- rived off the east end of Madeira. By this time there was fourteen feet of water in the aftor-hold, and the stern of the vessel was still lower in the water. There is a considerable raco off the east end of the island, caused, I suppose, by unequal soundings: and the way the poor ship rolled in this broken water was sickenin She would make a heavy roll, suy, to port, and then she would stop, and as the weight of water followed the roll, she would continue to roll the same way as before, 1ill you felt sure sho was go- ing to capsize; then she would slowly right, and go through the same per- formance the other way, However, wo soon got under the lee of the island and into smooth water. Our steamor had come from a South American port which the Portugese are pleased to consider unhealthy. Though thero was nobody ill on board, and the vessel had left that port somo three weoeks or more, she was obliged to hoist the yellow quarantine flag on nearing Maderia. As we passed the signal staff a lot of little flags went up. I was stand- ing by the captain at the time, and heard him mutter somothing in which the word “fools” was noticeable. I asked what the signal meant. The ques- tion asked was: **Are you in distrosst” A brief **Yes” was the reply. Again up went the littie flags from “the station, and this time they said: **Do not anchor if you can help it,” and that because we were flying the yellow flag. These un- hospitable Portugese, ratier than run the most remote risk of disease, would have allowed us to go to the bottom without any help. Our captain an- swered: ‘*Must anchor, or beach her;” and shortly ufter we did anchor, But not n seul was allowed on bourd to halp us, and a guard was set over us to pre- v ||;,.m|_\' of the passengers or crew from \ding However,we gotsome help at last, The people of Maderin are noted for their powers of swimming and diving. No diving dressos were to be had; but without them, we got two of the best divers 10 come off, und though not als lowed to come on board, they were als lowed Lo work outside the ship, The, had two boats made fast ustern, an they dived iv turn, taking a header with a lump of onkum in one huud and in the other a short, thin pi of wood to drive in the oakum. They bad a depth of twenty feet to dive to get to the leuk; still, each time they man- nged to drive in the lump of oakum bes fore coming up, and after a time they so far stopped the leak that the pumps begun 10 guin on it. This was ail that was wanted, and six bours after the water was so far reduced that the en- gincers were able to get at the leak from the nside, Two or three days longer we wore kept prisouers on board a vessel thap could not move, and then one of the huge Castle line of steamers came in, to which T joyfully transforred myself and luggage after o hearty goodbye to the captain and others, Thus, by God's help and the oare and pationt perseverance of the captain and his otficers, not a life was lost or & per- son injured, and the good ship herself was Kept afloat. Four days laier [ t was hull down, and we could only see reached Plymouth.
