H. was awakened on M ondav sight in his room by a tramp who de­ manded his money, at the same time presenting a loaded pistol and threat­ ening to blow tfut his brains. Cot-ting directed the tramp to a bureau where lie said was $700. The tramp went for the money, laying down the pistol, which was picked up by Cotting. who •hot and killed the tramp.

The police think the child has been drowned, but Mr. Sullivan firmly believes in the ab­ duction theory. Children answering the description of the lost one are seen In various localities, and the anxious parents arc informed only to be disap-, pointed on seeing the child and finding It is not their own. j|^The ability possessed' by the Signal Bureau to foresee remarkable events in the weather, particularly those of a dangerous nature, was again demonstrated in the case of the Texas cyclone last week. That terrific storm, which originated from agencies in the equatorial belt of atmosphere, was pre­ dicted at Washington at least twenty four hours before it began, and its presence somewhere in the Caribean •ea was known and indicated several days be fore it appeared in Galveston. That information, together with the aid of barometrical observations, (if made,) should have alarmed the whole ••ant, and put its population on the lookout for the gales which followed, if not for the inundating tide which iaVaded the borders of the gulf* From the Waufcegan Daily Gazette. AX OM» SETTLERS MEETING. iThe people of Mcllenry are moving for a grand re-union of the old settlers of Lake and Mcllenry counties, to take place at McHenry on the 14tli of Octo­ ber. Bills ahnoiining the-fact came to this county on Thursday, and on Thurs­ day evening an impromptu gathering of old settlers was held at the "Gazette" office, at which some 25 persons, repre­ senting nearly every town in the comi­ ty, were present.. Messrs. C. B. Curtis and David Smith, of McHenry, made statements of what had been done in that village. ' John G. Ragan was chosen Chairman, and S. 1. Bradbury Secertary. Michael Dulanty, L.

If was ordered that 1,000 circulars be printed and distributed, notifying the people of the county of the Re-union, and inviting them to jjarticipate therein. J. Y. Cory was elected Treasurer for the occasion. • • Now then old settlers, and citizens of the county, generally, go in for a good time. McHenry comity will fur­ nish the roasted oxen, and do every­ thing to mdke the occasion a pleasant one. As the dinner will be a picnic, one, each person Should take their basket with them. Let us all attend Further particulars next issue. The Texas Cyclone^ j The Troy primes says that careful ob­ servation and comparison of the path of the recent cyclone and those in pre­ vious years have developed some cu­ rious facts. To be^in with, cyclones never cross the equator. Those on this continent begin a little $bove the equa­ tor and follow a parbolic curve. That of week before l&st began near the Bahamas, took at first a northwesterly wurse, entered the Gulf of Mexico, where it remained about two days,-and then proceeding in an easterly direction followed the gulf stream. The ey* clones have two motions. One, is a progressive one, whereby the area of low barometer moves forward. The other is a gyratory motion. The wind tends toward the centre of the cyclone, where the barometer is at its lowest. Its direction is not, however, straight, but curved. The course of the gyratory motion in the northern hemisphere is in direction opposite to that of the hands of a Clock. In the southern hem­ isphere the motion is in the opposite direction. On September 33, while the gale was at its height, the wind at Galveston moved with a velocity of 56 miles pet hour. The barometer sjood at 29.10 both in the Gulf of Mexico and along the eastern coast of Florida. The Barbaric War on Cuba. A rumor, with strong vouchers for **» truth, says that Caleb Cushing, Uni­ ted States minister at Madrid, has presented-to the Spanish government a protest against sending any more troops to Cuba. The communication bftse$,the objection, it is said, on the inability of the Spanish government to suppress the rebellion, and a desire to prevent anymore bloodshed. The Troy Times frankly suggests that he has taken this step, whether in a pri- Tfitc or in an official capacity it is,not stated, in view of the intention of the Spanish government to send 20,000 Additional troops to Cuba to continue the work of murdering and devastating without much probability of putting dowp the rebellion. The horrors of the war are undoubtedly but little known off the island, but enough reach­ es us, to warrant the conclusion that a more barbarous warfare has not dis­ graced civilization for generations. Cushing's protest is only an initatory step of what should invite all civilized nations to^put a stop to the Cuban tragedy. 8€^The Chicago Evening Journal Of Friday last says: "There is serious ttouble in the air out on the Sioux ltdiaii Reservation. One day in the litter part of last week, after the ab- fnoeof both Red Cloud and Spotted ail from two of the council meetings, J|bowfc{i,O0O mounted and armed Indians Unrromtded the tent of the Government jbmiisaioners, acting in a most threat- tptlng maner. One Indian, Little-Bad- Jpaa--he who has previously threatened capture at least one Commissioner's iealp--acted especially hostile, loading fcls rifle and riding around in range of IJjelCommissioner's tent on a fleet horse. At the request of the Commissioners H; friendly body of Indian horsemen i|as placed between the Commissioners jfid the wild Indians, by Young-Man 4.fraid-of-hifc-Horses, and an outbreak The Commissioners were, Jjoubtless, much alarmed, and any one acquainted with the Indian characters apustsee that their situation was, still is, an exceedingly dan­ gerous one. Reinforcements of Gov­ ernment cavalry have been sent for jnd are expected before next Friday, fjrhen another meeting of the council fji to be held. The Indians may be re- gttratned by fear from dosng the Com- gaissioness personal injury, but it is a Question of much doubt whether they vill agree to any terms for a new G©y- #nwe«* treaty.
