Tne General Terry Hits a Pier and Goes Down. umaiia, June ii. iwclve years ago tlio Fifth infantry, regular troops, were Btitioned ut Fort Leavenworth. That was during the Custer campuign in the Hlack Hills against "Sitting Hull" and his warriors, un J the regiment, by orders, was forced to the front. They went by the samo steamers in which they landed yesterday for a few hours in Omaha to "btock up' with provisions. About six o'clock the usual screathing of whistles were heard, and soon after the stern wheelers Helena and General Terry tied up at the foot of Douglas St 417 Bun-burned frontier soldiers, mclud ing officers and musicians, were on board of the two steamers accompanied by the wives and daughters of the officers. When the two boats landed it was evi dent that the men desired to land, but it was out of the question at that time, but later providence interfered, and their wishes were gratified. Officers from the Headquarters who were dh hand to meet the new comers were informed of the ar rival by Lieutenant J. M. T. Partello. who was the first to come ashore. He stated that the party had, through the means of a field glass, sighted a Hug at half mast and it occurred to them that General Sheridan had died. When the lieutenant was informed that the emblem of death was in respect to the memory of a departed Union Pacific railroad official, and was displayed from the quarters of the road int-tead of the government, Par tello by voice communicated to the com mander Colonel George Gibson, who in turn notified his command, who immedi ately sent up a cheer of thanks which was re-echoed by the throng ashore who had gathered. The band struck up a lively, inspiring air, and as the sun set in the west the hawsers were cut and the boats floated towards Kansas City. They were n'yt destined to reach that village on time, however, and it will be many days before the General Terry again floats. The Helena ran under the Union Paci fic bridge all right, but when the General Terry was passing under the second span the strong current swung her sidewi?e against one of the old piers standing in the river, tearing a hole in her side some eight feet long and six feet high, which filled her with water so that she sank in about seren minutes from the time she struck. As soon as the accident occurred Pilot Mackev signalled his engineer to go ahead" and ran her within a few feet of the shore, so that she grounded, as it were, in about eight feet of water. At the time of the accident all was in confusion, the ladles and children scream- ng while the men was for the time panic stricKen an it was witn uimeuity that a ew of the officers who retained their wonted cooliuss could control them. As soon as the boat grounded the gang plank was fhrown out and the Helena notified by whistle that the General Terry was in distress. She steamed back and in the meantime the latter boat had been tied to the shore and all hands at once set to unload her. The ladies were taken to he hotels andmade comfortable. The loss is estimated at $25,000. of which a great portion consists of proper ty belonging to the officers and families. runks containing elegant dresses and ewel boxes of silverware, etc., were lost while all the furniture was greatly dam aged.' On board the sunken steamer were compnnies 1), F, G and A. The four companies and thj band number about 475 men, and are destined to points in Texas. Curiona Case of Deafbess. Some time ago an engine driver on the Little Miami railroad was suspended be cause, after having been examined by Ur. Clark, he was found to be quite deaf. The engineer claimed at the time that he could hear everything while running his engine; but the doctor found that in a still room he could not bear ordinary con versation a foot away. The engineer lives at Cincinnati, and received treat ment in that city for his disease, but without any special benefit. After being suspended eight mouths the engineer again came to Dr. Clark and insisted that he could hear perfecdy while on a mov ing engine. The doctor thought he would test the case, and, accompanying the man to Cincinnati, made a number of experiments with him on engines. The result was tliat the doctor found the engineer was not only telling the truth in regard to the matter, but also that the deaf ijian pould hear low remarks and whUers on a moving engine that even Dr. Clark's keen ear failed to catch, The engineer was reinstated in liis former place.

"The business of Interior decoration, and especially of paper hanging," suid an uptown artist a lew days ago to a reporter, "during me pasc row years has unUi r-one a complete change." "Do you refer to the style of the material or workmanship?" "I refer to both. The chance fu stvle. bow ever, has not been the work of the producer oi tne material. Had it not been for the ad vane made in artistic arrancrement of ma terial placed In the bands of twiper bangers interior decoration would still be largely con fined to the simple papering of walls and sur mounting them with a border of the conven tional type, only changing in width, like the Drim or a silk hat. from season to season." "You think, then, the artist who banes the paper, and not the designer, was the chief i actor in the reformation!" 'I know it. The demand was created before the supply came to band. For veara the ex pert paper hanger struggled along, weaving oia aesigns into now combinations before the manufacturers followed in bis footsteps. A lew years ago such a thins as a naoered ceil ing was unknown, and now they are almost as common as paper on the walla." How dose the change affect vour nrofes- siunr vastly for the better. A successful naner uanger or today must be an artist by nature. An apprentice now is not a mere wielder of a paste brush but little removed from the bill poster. In fact, the brush is one of the last things put in his hands.

A Chicago photographer is about to per petrate a joke on his contemporaries which is worthy or the severest reprehension.

JUMl'IXG TIIK HOPE." HUCKERY BUCK," "SKIP THE GAR RET" AND "CHASC TH; FOX." Turning the Itopo u a Test of Temper A Ixug IUipo und an Kusy Motion A Common and Uaugerons l'itiro Vari ation. Thero are various gomes at jumping the rope. The little girl who begius with the sport has much to learn, itinl she im:fct work her way. She begins thus early in life to learn that there is a prico to pay for nhnoct everything. Tho i.i ico that a little girl pays for learning to jump tho rojo isthatshoiniiht spent a good deal f time in turning tho ropo. To the ousual eye tho tuViiing of a rope is about as much fun as the jumping. But when tho turning is mac Id a jeiia!ty, a girl naturally does not like to turn. ()ii-oin a great while there is a girl who likes to turn a rope, but she is a rarity. OJ ton, when sho begins by liking to turn, sho grows to di.slike it because sho linds that tho other girl divs not hko to turn. -mo way ,s jiiUmo (.oiuru liiu ripe is this: Where several girls are playing the one who trips must take her turn nt tlio r.j.. 1 his is a great test of a girls temrier. I f sho doesn't "play fair" she will deny it when she trips. Then tho other girls get mad, ::i:d they won't play, or they put her out cf tho game for cheating. Then she learns the value of truth. If sho is not caught in lying, how ever, she is very apt to try it again, nud may in time become an adept at siv lying. But the chances are that tho other little girls w,ll Cud her out if she docs not fib with great skill and discernment. Truly, it is a very great temptation to a little girl to ttll stories under such circumstances, but liko ull other temptations, it is one that a good littlo girl will learn to resist. She will take her t-nd'wf tho roie with resignation when her turn comes. CUTTING A CLOTliES Li:E. Most little girLj can persuade parents or relatives to purchaso for them at the toy stores nice jumping ropes with neatly turned wooden handles. But, when such rones aro not to be ha 1, bad littlo girls have been known to steal parts of their mothers' c!othe3 lines. When a little girl who lias cut a clothes liua falls and gets hurt, she is apt to bo looked upon as tlio victim of a special providence. Yet it must bo admitted that many good girls who aro not skillful often trip and fall, so that the final cause of trip ping is still a bono of contention among both philosophers and theologians. "Pepper, salt, mustard, cider, vinegar," is one of the games. First two girls are chosen by lot to turn tho rope. Tho other girls jump by turns, saying, with increasing rapidity, "Pepper, salt, mustard, cider, vin egar." Tho ropo is turned with increasing rapidity, until finally it goes so fast that a girl must trip. Then she is so tired that sho is willing to rest herself by turning for tho others, "Chase the fox" is another game. Two girls turn the ropo. Tho first girl who jumps is tho fox. All the girls follow. "When tho last girl gets on tho sido of tho lino where the fox is sho must jump back. If sho trips she must take tho ropo, end the lost girl is the fox. A variation of this gamo is called fox and geese." "Huckery Luck," or "buck a buck," in nn- tber gamo. Two girls turn tho ropo and tho others jump in and jump out as quickly us they can, and tho rope is turned vory fast. iloek tho cradle" is a gamo where the ropo is not turned over completely, but has a pen dulum motion. A girl must jump nt tho exact moment and get out very quickly or she trips.' 'Going a visiting" is where one trill 1 uvii:; the rope over herself and the other girl jui.ips in to jump with her, and jumps out without stopping tho rope. "Change liedrooms" is a pretty game. Two girls tarn tho rone and t wo others iumn in. They must bo able to change places while tho ropo revolves. This is a somewhat dirUeuit ftat, and the oco w ho trips takes her turn at the rope. LOXO ROPE A:D SLOW MOTION. Tho favorite game is whero a lonsr roro ii used and two girls turn with a slow, easy motion, and a dozen or more girls msh in and all jump together, sometimes changing places, jumping out to make room for others or from fatigue. Often thero is a disnutp as to whether a girl tripped by her own fault or through tho fault of the girls who turned the rope. T hose wrangles ere probabl v ilev i.sed by a wiso IVovider.ce to rive the rirls a needed rest, which would not bo othcrwiso taken. Going to school" is a very pretty wav ot jumping tho rope. Two girls lock arms, or take hold of each other's waists. Kach takes one end of tho rope and they turn and jump together. They can talie a variety of steps, jump fast or slowly, keep in one spot or walk alon:' "Jump the garret " cr "shin tho garret " is a game where the ropo is turned very high, and the girl must ba agile indeed who does not get tripped. Eako the bread" is tho gains in which the jumper tabes m with her a stono or stick, and wbiie jumping drops it and picks it up with out tripping. 'Skip the ladder" is a peculiar ster. wherein the jumper lands first on one foot and ucrt on the other. A common and dangerous practice is for a girl to turn for herself and jmyp as long r.s she can. Somo girls jump into the hundreds and drop with exhaustion. It U an exceed ingly dangerous amusement, and often lavs the foundation for years of after tufTering. Sometimes the girl dies a few hours after she has stopped jumping. The jar and jolt of the internal organs is a terrible strain, even on the strongest system. There aro many pretty ana graceful motions with the &kii ping rope that may be practiced without irt- j jury.
