In relation to the troubles in the Indian Territory, General Sheridan says, that in his opinion the Arapahoe tribe was peaceably inclined, that the Cheyennes alone were likely to rise, and that the occasion of the whole disturbance was the encroachments of colonists and cattlemen on Indian possessions.

CALCUTTA, July 14.-A severe shock of earthquake lasting several minutes was felt here this morning.

An envelope received from a person who habitually took large quantities of morphia hypodermically was reclosed by the person who opened it by licking the adhesive surface, with the result of making him violently sick.

If this could happen, obviously there must be grave peril of the transmission of disease by such It is not likely that many persons would even incidentally reclose an envelope in this way; but the incident may serve to show how desirable it is not to run the risk of even taking in the impurities of new adhesive matters from, stamps and envelopes. It is very easy to avoid the practice. The danger only needs to be pointed out.-Lancet.
