Theboldness of this venture upon Britishcoasts in two successive years is ap-parent. Its crowning success was atFlamborough Head, on the memorableday already mentioned, when Jones, inthe Bon Homme Richard, forty-tw- o

lies, the Pallas, Captain Cottineau, andthe Alliance, Captain Landais, descriedthe Serapis, carrying fifty guns, andthe Countess of Scarborough, twenty,convoying a large Baltic fleet, and gavechase. Action was joined on a bright,moonlight night, near - Scarborough,whose people witnessed the combat.We need not rehearse its famous de-tails, nor do more than recall Jones1rally, when two of his old eigh teen-pounde- rs

The following is an account of the Indian

Candahar force, maintained communi-cation by heliograph from Grishk totne JUiojak pass. A certain height isnecessary for the establishment of aminor station, since no obstacles mustintervene to obscure the rays, while itstands to reason that a light on a loftyeminence can De seen at a much longerdistance than one in a less elevated po-sition. Hence it is that our Generals inIndia have usually chosen the tops ofpasses for heliograph stations, andthere is little doubt that if GeneralRoberts can find a suitable spot on thesummit of the Shutargardan he will beaoie to telegraph thence from Cabulwhen he arrives at that city. To Gen-eral Roberts, indeed, we must give thecredit of having introduced the Manceheliograph into the British army.

In India, where our soldiers are most-ly trained, the heads of the army departments enjoy a certain amount ofindependance, and thus it came aboutthat while the heliograph was condemned at home, the QuartermasterGeneral in India, then Colonel Roberts,reported distinctly in its favor. General iioberts little imagined, when heput in a good word for the heliograph,that he would be one of the firstto ' make practical use of theinstrument. His recommendationthat "six or eight instruments be madeand stored up with the telegraph trainat Roorkee, some men of the sappersand miners being kept constantly prac-ticed in the use of the instruments,"shows plainly how well he understoodits importance, especially as he hadfound on trial that the signals given byme mirror are ciear and satisfactory,and that they can be easily read in or-dinary weather without telescopes upto fifty miles." It was these instruments and these trained signalers thatpermitted the Indian army to take immediate advantage of the heliograph,first of all in the Afridi war in 1877-7- 8,

and next in the recent Afghan cam-paign. The code of signals, althoughof a tolerably simple nature, can onlybe read with ease by trained observers,and tms uen. .Roberts fully understoodwhen he pointed out the necessity of"men of the sappers and miners beingkept constantly practiced " in the useof the heliograph. As our readersKnow, the Mance heliograph is now notonly an important item of equipmentin our Indian army, but has been em-ployed to great advantage in Zululand,and it is but the other day that a further dispatch of twelve instrumentswas made to the Cape. Sending sig-nals by means of reflected light is nonovelty, but the construction of a sim-ple apparatus that can be put into communication with a station fifty miles offwithout the least dimculty, and permitsa message to be sent at the rate of tento twelve words a minute, cannot butbe regarded as an innovation in armysignaling.- - We all know that Alexander the Great is credited with havingguided his fleet along the Persian gulfDy means of mirrors, while it is but twoyears since the United States forcescaptured a tribe of Indians the Nezferces of whom the chief is said tohave carried a looking-glas- s, "used todirect military maneuvers in battles bymeans of reflected rays of light. Theirvarious significations, however, havenever yet been found out by the whiteman," we were informed, though,whatever they were, they are not likelyto be very complicated. ; Signalizingby mirror has been employed, too, formany years in. Spain, and Gen. sirWilliam Codrington tells us that whenhe was in Gibralter in 1835, AdmiralSheriff, who was then in naval command at "the Rock," used to communicate to a friend at Tangiers, rightacross the Mediterranean, by flashes.Admiral bherin employed tor the purpose a simple toilet looking glass, andthe signals he was in the habit of sending were read and immediately answered by his friend on the other side of thestraits, in the Unmean war it wasstated that a system of mirror-tel- e

graphy existed in Sebastopol, aid fromthe British lines the working of thisapparatus could frequently be seen.London News.

A Waldensian Pastor.

Desiring to visit the valley of Angrogna, the great retreat during the invasions of the land, and the scene ofthe most terrible battles, I was commended to the pastor of the village.who has the care of the scattered population of the large parish. It was along, hard walk up the valley, and ahot one. ' A very plain little Protestant

temple" and a few poor houses constitute the village of Angregna. A childdirected me to the pastor's door a greatsolid wooden door in a fortress-lik- e

stonewall. Entering, I was pleasantlygreeted by the cheerful mother of thehouse, wno usnerea me into a scantilyfurnished parlor, dean and sunny.Presently the pastor appeared, who received me with the greatest cordiality.and lent himself at' once to my desirefor guidance and information. I haverarely been more impressed in any interview.-- - He told me with the greatestfrankness of the difficulties with whichhe has to contend in eking out a sup-port for his large family in a parishwhere all are poor, and where manycan give nothing to tne support oithe church beyond "cordial goodwishes and the scantiest contributions ' of food. ' A little money isgiven him by the General Synod, but it19 vcijr ilbuc, will uiua ucu a uv.oocuvpastorial' duties made it impossible forhim to ameliorate his. condition by anyform of profitable work. It is to gratify no curiosity that 1 repeat wnat netold me of his circumstances, but ratnerto illustrate by. strikjig and extremeexample the life in these valleys generally. I was regaled in the most hos-pitable manner with the best that thehouse anorded a tnm, simple wine.bread, a hard sort of cheese, and boiledchestnuts, of which I was urered to takemy fill, as I would find no other opportunity to eat during the day's journey.What was given me is tne pest or tneirdiet, and except for potatoes and saladit covers the limit of its variety for allthe secular days of the week. On Sundays they usually, but not always, havemeat. There was no suggestion thatthe diet was rot sufficient and satifac-tor-y,

and the family seemed to be in robust and hearty neaitn. ne pnysicailabor of the pastor himself mnst be verysevere. : His parish reaches for milesback on the mountains, and far up intosteep rugged valleys. - He has threeseparate churches and schools underhis charge,- and his sick and poor arescattered far and wide on every hand.Foot-pat- hs and bridle-path-s oner theonly means of communication, and heis liable, day and night. , winter andsummer, in good weather and in bad tobe summoned forth for a long,- hardtramp to the house of a sick or dyingparishioner. All this he described asmerely incidental to a life of necessaryand useful service, in which he is con-tent and happy. A friend had recentlypresented him with a , young donkey.which is already able to give mmshort lift on his journeys.- and which.as it matures, and as he grows old, willcarry him to Jrra del Tor and back..He was happy over, this acquisition.but anxious as to his ability to nourishthe beast. Regarded in a certain light,there is nothing remarkable about thistale of a robust man's life and otroumstances, but viewed ' with reference tothe stock' to which he belongs, and to

lieved in by the poets, it was the Valeof Cashmere. Here was the abode of

handsome, industrious and happyrace, whose skill and refinement was at-tested by the marvelous products of itslooms. In the most luxurious orientalharem, in the boudoir of the westernbeauty, the possession of the finestshawl of Cashmere was a distinction ofwealth and favor as high as could bepaid. Dwelling high up in the sheltering gigantic Himalayas, in a valley it-

self over 5,000 feet above the sea level,the people of Cashmere enjoyed a fort-unate climate and possessed a soil otalmost unequaled fertility. Fruits grewin abundance, and their cultivation wasso early a science there that we are saidto have obtained our knowledge ofgrafting and budding from the peopleof Cashmere.

This once beautiful and happy region is now the scene of wretchedness.During this year a grievous famine hasstricken the land. The infrequent trav-elers there report the most heartrend-ing scenes, and the sight of a desolateland. Great tracts of land are uncultivated; villages are in decay; starvationwalks abroad; thousands have died;many have made their way out of thevalleys, through the high passes, intoAfghanistan, in a wretched plight, andthose who remain exhibit every sign ofwretchedness.

The cause of this famine and decayis believed to be simply cruel, oppres-sive, and bad government, and to thisfact the attention of the English peopleis now being urgently called. For theEnglish Government, if not exactly re-sponsible for tbe sad state of affairs, isthe titular guardian of Cashmere, andhas tne power ot exacting justice anddecent government there. Indeed, En-gland sold Cashmere to the oppressors,and received her pay in cash. Thestory is briefly this:

At the treaty signed at Lahore in1846, which concluded the first Sikhwar, Lord Hardinge, in lieu of a moneyindemnity, offered a large cession ofterritory, included in which was tneprovince of Cashmere. There was atthat time a soldier of fortune, namedGholab Singh, who had raised himselfto the principality of jummoo, and in ashort time annexed important adjacentterritory. By a treaty subsequent to theone just named it was arranged thatGholab should purchase back a portionof the territory ceded to the English, tobe held by him and his heirs as an in-dependent possession. In this way hebecame owner and ruler of (Jashmere,under the English protection. He paidfor this in cash 800,000, and assumedcertain obligations to help the Englishin war, and to take no other Europeansinto his service. The English wouldprotect him from his external enemies,and he paid annually in token of alle-giance, "one horse, twelve perfectshawl goats of approved breed (sixmale and six female), and three pairsof cashmere shawls.1? He had a goodbargain. He ruled over 1,500,000 peo-ple, had an army of 27,000 men, and arevenue of 1,000,000. In 1837 Gholabdied, and his son Runbeer ruled as ma--harajah in his stead. Since then therelations between Cashmere and Indiahave been of the ordinary kind, and aconsiderable trade has sprung up.whichhas lately fallen away, owing: to thedisturbed condition of eastern Turkis-ta- n,

and the suffering in Cashmere.It now appears, by the reports of

British officers and travelers, that thefamine and suffering in Cashmere aredue almost wholly to the rapacity, cor-ruption, and cruelty of the maharajah.tie and his rapacious rs

have literally sucked the life out of thefair land. As long ago as 1872 thedegradation of the people had becomealmost absolute under these cruel task-masters. This was attested by thehalf -- deserted villages, the neglectedlands, and the groups of listless menand blear-eye- d children clustered be-fore the village shawl-loo- toiling outtheir spiritless lives for the gain of therajah. It is no object for the wretchedtillers of the sou to raise anything, forthey are despoiled of all their crops bythe extortionate tribute-collector- s. Thesame thing happened nere that hap-pened on the upper Nile; the extortionwas so excessive that it did not pay toraise crops the poor people were not-allowed to retain enough of tneir owncrops to sustain life.

That is the state of affairs in one ofthe fairest of the Indian provinces, inthe land of sentiment and song. Thepoor, half-starve- d remnants of the people cry for iSnglish rule. Just now thefinances of India are in no condition tobuy back Cashmere, but the interest ofhumanity will not permit the Englishpeople to be indifferent to the miseryoi tM3 once prosperous land. J he re-sponsibilities of England are wideningyear by year in the east. HartfordVourant.

Monuments in Washington!

The erection of a monument to thelate Gen. George A. Thomas by theArmy of the Cumberland, in this city,early in November, will prove a valua-ble addition to the art attractions ofWashington. The first statue erectedin this city was the colossal marblemonument of Washington now stand-ing in the east park of the Capitol. Thiswas ordered in 1832 by Congress forthe rotunda of the Capitol, and was de-signed by Horatio Greenough. of Mas-sachusetts. It was made in Florence,Italy, and occupied eight years in itscompletion. It weighs twelve tons,and its total cost, including the sculp-tor's work, freight, removal and at-tendant expenses was $44,000. It wasfound to be so entirely out of propor-tion to the interior of the Capitol thatit was removed to the east park, whereit now stands in solitary grandeur. Itbears the famous legend: "First inwar, first in peace, and first in thehearts of his countrymen." It also hasthe following inscription: "This statueis for a great example of liberty, norwithout liberty would this example en-dure."

The next monument erected was thebronze one of Gen. Andrew Jackson, inLafayette Square, by Clark Mills, whichwas unveiled on the eighth of January,1803, atepnen a. uougias deliveringthe oration. Five years previous tothis date the Jackson Monument Asso-ciation, composed of admirers of theGeneral, collected about $12,000 for thepurpose of procuring this testimonial.Congress, in addition, appropriated anumber of brass guns and mortars forits construction, besides voting themoney for the marble pedestal. By afurther appropriation of $20,000" in1853, Congress bought the statue, andmade it the property: of the UnitedStates. Its total cost was $50,000. Itis noticeable as the first application ofthe principle of poising an equestrianstatue without the aid of iron rods andother devices, as in the great statues ofPeter the great, George nL, and thePuke of Wellington.

Shortly after the erection of this figure Congress ordered the erection of amonument to W ashington, costing: $50,000. It was placed in the circle at theintersection of Twenty-thir- d street andPennsylvania and New Hampshire avenues, where it has become a landmark.Congress gave the metal used in itsconstruction, and Clark Mills was thesoulptor.

Savages at Their Toilet.

Wandering about the Indian Fair thisevening, 1 came across the plain In-- :

dians in the act of mating their toilets.It was a queer spectacle. . The first '

camp visited was the Osage. Thosegigantic warriors, who, by the way,realize one's ideal of the typical Indianmore than any tribe represented, if weexcept the Cheyennes and Arapahoes,had evidently just begun their work.Seated about in various attitudes, andutterly indifferent to the gaze of tbe :

curious spectators surrounding them,they proceeded to decorate their tawny.persons in the highest style of the bar-- .

baric art. fainting their faces in theprevailing fashion of the tribe was thefirst thing done, and took precedenceof putting on their leggins. As a con- -sequence of this reversed order ofthings, the herculean Osage . bravestalked about before high heaven, clad '

only in a calico shirt of an abbreviatedpattern, and perfectly nude as to theremainder of his body. In' civilizedsociety such a pattern of undress woulddoubtless create some consternation;but in the Indian Territory it seemedto be a matter of course, and excited no '

particular comment, save as to the pro-- '

portions and inward and outward bendof the braves' legs'. And ibis perhapsonly justice to say that the great ma-- :

jority-o- these members were exceed- - :.ingly straight and well proportioned, abow-legg- ed or deformed Indian beingan infrequent spectacle. The Osages :

began their toilet with a plentiful-ablu- -.

tion, after which two red stones wererubbed together, producing a thin paint.which was beaten in both . hands and .

smeared thickly on the entire face. The '

face of an Indian covers a good deal ofspace. He is large to begin with,: and,in addition, has a fashion of shaving ,

the entire head, save a narrow ridge ,

commencing on the forehead, runningbaek over the crown, and terminating 1

in a long queue behind. Un this ridge -the hair is cut short, until it resembles

cock's comb, standing erect and .

bristly. No streaks or burning suns ,

are added to the red, the Osage coun- - .

tenance presenting only a generally in-- ''named appearance. The next processwas to grease the hair with copious ap-- ;

plications of beefs tallow, after whichthe leggins. the beads and trinkets, andlastly, the red blanket, were donned.

In the Cheyenne and Arapahoe camps '

the same order of things prevailed. Theformer were particularly: attentive tothe niceties of the toilet, and devoted '

fully an hour to the decoration of theirpersons. Their delegations are com-pose- d

, mostly of young men,' which, '

perhaps, accounts for such attentionand detail. Nothing can exceed thevanity of a young Indian. Take himfrom the age of seventeen to twenty-fiv- e,

and the world may be challengedto produce his equal, lie spends unlimited time in the decoration of hisperson; he piles ornaments on everyavailable spot. With the young womenit is quite different. They are the beastsof burden, and entertain a very humbleopinion of themselves; intensified bythe fact that any buck she may meet isprivileged to beat and abuse her. 1 he i

order of civilization is reversed, and thebrother of the family wears all the goodclothes. Muskogee (I. T.) Cor. Cincin-nati Gazette.

Monsters of the Past.

Professor Cope, of Philadelphia, whois spending his summer leisure in Cali- - '

fornia, gave the other day to the SanFrancisco Academy a description of twofossil animals. One of these was an . ,

enormous vertebrate somewhat resem- - ,,

bling an aquatic kangaroo, named the .

camarasaurus supremus, whose neckwas nine feet in diameter, whose hindless were twenty feet long, whose vertebra were fifty-si- x inches across and .

which must have been seventy-tw- o ieetlong by measurements carefully taken.This animal could walk in forty feet ofwater and catch its prey with its forepaws. He also described another simi-lar monster found, whose spinal vertebrae were six feet across and whose ,

hind lees were forty feet long, with car- -

niverous teeth placed in the upper andlower jaws like shears, so as to cut upanimal food by traversing each otherin the most perfect manner. The bonesof the lower half of this animal weresolid and verv heavy, to. keep its feetdown in the water, while bones in the ,'

upper part of its body were built in '

honey-combe- d layers, as thick as paste-board, strong but very light and buoy-- o

ant in water, xnis monster nas oeen ,

named amphicoclias fragilisimus, andmust have been considerably over onehundred feet in leneth. Both animalshave large and powerful tails like kan- -'

garoos, and when catching their food :

in. the water must have appeared as ifon three-legg- ed stools, the tail actingas an equal support of the tripod.aawk-Ky- e.

A Rhode Island Grew Story. ; ..:.-:- .

The following remarkable facts con-- -

cerning the visit of a crow to the prem- -ises of Dr. Round, of Norton, were toldus by a member of the family: A few .

mornings ago the household was awak-ene- d

very early by a strange chatteringtnat seemed to come iruiu we tuui,and. on looking through a skylight, arcrow was seen perched there npon thehousetop, and very earnestly lauung so t

itself. Now and then it would call out" George Shaw" very distinctly, and atother times the word " boy" would beclearly heard. It tried its vocal powersalso at imitating the hens, and after thefamily were astir, it flew down into theyard and took the house dog to task, ,

and gave him a sound scolding. , Whilethere it seized a cocoanut-she- ll dipperfrom the pump and dropped it on thegrass, where it seemed a good aeaivexed because the dish fell bottom up. '

On observing a team driven rapidly ,

past the house, the crow flew quicklyinto a tree and cried out: " Whoa, boy!whoa, boy!" The story of this, re-

markable bird spread rapidly through-out the neighborhood, and many peo-ple came to see it, and several unsuc-cessful efforts were made to catch it.At last it was secured, and placed in ahen-hous- e, but seemed to think the im- -irisonment an insult, and was very sul--;en and silent until liberated, when '.it

flew away, and has not been seen since.Cor. Providence Journal. ,.

'Brigham Young's Estate.

All the difficulties arising out of theestate of the late President BrighamYoung have been adjusted, and thematter will now drop forever, so far asthe courts are concerned, at least. Itbecame evident to all parties concernedthat a compromise would be a far better way of terminating: the legal differences, and with this spirit negotiationsfor such a settlement were resumed withthe happy result here mentioned. Everything has been ready for final adjustment for some time past, but owingto side issues the matter was postponed,and it was fully expected that the workwould be accomplished on Friday; theCourt sat in that expectation. But minor details had not all been disposedof, and so the matter was left over untilyesterday morning at nine o'clock, whenall interested being in Court, a final settlement was arrived at and a decree entered by the Court. By this the sevenheirs received the sum of $75,000 to bedivided among them. The suit of thechurch against the heirs and executorswas also dismissed at the plaintiffscost, and thus it is that the entire mat-ter is altogether out of the courts. Thereceivers have been discharged, andguardians appointed for the minor heirs,who are Mark Croxall, Mrs. Mary V.Young, Alexander C Jryper, Ji. BClawson, Phineas H. Young and AlonzoYoung. The accounts of the executorsare approved, and such new accountsas may be made and business that maybe transacted will date from to-da- y.

The sum paid may seem large, but itis not larger than the plaintitt heirs.through their counsel, had the powerto demand and enforce payment of.Under all the circumstances the settlement has been upon as favorable termsto the defending parties as could havebeen expected. At any rate the adjust-ment is far preferable to a continuanceof the suit, which was proving not onlyexpensive, but had become excessivelyannoying to many people, was a largedisturbing element in the community,and was rapidly descending into pathsthat nobody here cares to see trodden,The executors are not only acquittedand exonerated from all accusationsand allegations of wrong-doin- g in theadministration of the estate, but theiracts up to the beginning of the suit areconfirmed and made forever valid. Thedecree runs against both the seven plaintiffs and the other heirs of the estate,who are " forever barred of, and fremall rights, remedies or causes of actionas to all the matter and- - things allegedor disclosed in the pleadings herein."Bait ijakx tieraui.

her freedom. This sum she consecratedtoward building Lincoln a monumentupon hearing of his death.

The bronze equestrian statue of Gen-eral McPherson stands on the square ofthat name, on Vermont avenue, be-tween I, K and Fifteenth streets.1 Thismonument was erected by the Societyof the Army of the Tennessee, and Wasunveiled Oct. 18, 1876, Gen. John A.Logan being the orator. Congress ap-propriated the cannon for its construc-tion, and its cost was $23,500. It isfourteen feet high, weighs 7,000 pounds,and was designed by Louis T. Robisso,an Ohio sculptor. The pedestal cost$25,000. It was proposed to place un-derneath the statue the remains of theGeneral, and although his family werewilling, the people of his native placeobjected, and the idea was never car-ried out.

Gen. Nathaniel Greene, of revolutionary fame, has been commemoratedin a statue erected upon Stanton Square,Capitol Hill, at the junction of Massachu3etts and Maryland avenues. It wasordered by Congress in 1876, and placedin position a year or two later. Thecommission was for $50,000. which included the pedestal, the latter being fur--msned Dy tne artist.

The marble statue of Lincoln in frontof the City Hall is the work of LotFlannery. Its cost was defrayed bypatriotic citizens. Flannery was a self--taught sculptor, who combined energyand entnusiasm with a slight modicumof genius. Among the proposed stat-ues, other than that of General Thomas,is one yet to be erected to Admiral Far- -ragut, in arragut (square, on Connect!cut avenue, between I, K and Seventeenth streets. The monument is to beof colossal height, of bronze, for whichCongress appropriated $20,000 in April,1872. Vinnie Ream, the sculptor, hascompleted the plaster cast and willsoon mold it in bronze.

John Paul Jones.

We are approaching: the hundredthanniversary of a Revolutionary exploitwhich certainly deserves a place amongthe manifold subjects of centennialcommemoration, although thus far nopreparations seem anywhere to havebeen made to honor it. On the 23d ofSeptember, 1779, occurred one of themost desperate battles between singleships recorded in modern warfare anaval duel hardly surpassed, indeedfor bull-do- g tenacity in the authenticannals of any age. The memorablefight off Flamborough Head, in whichJohn Paul Jones, with the Bon HommeRichard, an old, and, be-fore the combat was ended, a sinkingship, conquered the Serapis, new,more heavily armed and more fullvmanned, was the most brilliant navalengagement of the Revolutionary War.Statues have been set up to heroes ofthat day whose careers were less uniformly triumphant, and monumentshave perpetuated the memory of deedsless valorous.

Indeed, the very luster of this combat has thrown into partial eclipse thefull record of the services rendered byJohn Paul Jones to the Americancause. Many persons tolerably wellversed in the history of the struggle,were wont to look upon Jones ratheras the hero of a single great achievement than as the commander in morethan a score of successful naval expeditions and engagements. Horn in amaritime village of Scotland in 1747his name being originally J obn faul andthe surname Jones afterward added.the outbreak of the Revolution foundhim in Virginia, whither he came inboyhood. Having almost constantly engaged from the age of twelve, in seafaring life, he promptly gave his servicesto the Colonies, his commission asLieutenant dating December 22, 1775near four years before his combat withthe berapis. Assigned as b irst Lieutenant to Captain Saltonstall's thirty-gu-n

ship, the Alfred, flag-shi- p of Commodore Hopkins' Delaware RiverSquadron, he soon after received thecommand of the sloop Providence,twelve guns, witn wnicn ne made nofewer than sixteen prizes in a shortcruise off the North Atlantic coast. Hewas rewarded with a Captain's commis-sion August 8, 1776, and soon after, incommand of the Alfred, ravaged theCape Breton coal-carryi- and fisherytrade, taking tour prizes into Boston.The following summer he receivedcommand of the Ranger, a new eight- -een-gu- n ship (his preceding vessel hadbeen altered from a merchant vessel),bunt at rortsmoutu, jn. ti. in thisship he descended upon the coast ofScotland, his most memorable exploitbeing a bold swoop upon White Haven,and during the cruise he captured thesloop-of-w- ar Drake, with a crew of 200men, largely exceeding the number ofhis own, taking his prize and prisonersinto Brest, where he was received withgreat honor.

The Ranger having been sent toAmerica by the American Commission-ers in France, Franklin, Deane andLee, Jones, in February, 1779, receivedthe command of the Duras, an old mer-chant vessel converted into a war ship,and rechristened by him Bon HommeRichard, in compliment to Dr. Frank-lin's "Poor Richard," already famousin France as in America. In this ship,after some alterations to increase herarmament, he sailed from L1 Orient thefollowing August in command of afleet. Although not a few of the offi-cers and men in this fleet, made up, asthey were, of various nationalities,mostly Europeon, showed signs of
