McNlchols, special Indian agent; who was detailed to investigate the recent fight between Indians and the Wyoming sheriff and posse at Lightning creek, Wyoming, has been- received by Commissioner Jones and substantiates former reports that the whites were entirely responsible for the trouble. McNlch-ols- s account of the incident says the sentiment of the community, from which the posse' was sent is very bitter against Indian Agent Brennan,' who telegraphed particulars of the incident to the department, and added that the whites were to blame. The trouble arose, McNlchols says, over the question raised by the whites that the Indians were unlawfully slaughtering game, and Sheriff Miller of New Castle, Wyo., was sent to make Inthe arrests. He met twenty-eigh- t dians at Lightning creek and ordered them to accompany him back to New Castle. McNlchols says he has not been able to ascertain whether an Indian or white man fired the first shoL hut & fight followed the meeting, in which Sheriff Miller, Louis Falkenburg and four Indians were killed. $30,000. Plans are being made for the establishment of, & Bohemian club in Salt Lake. Many of the doctors, lawyers, artists and others are interested in the idea.

The short service was followed by an excellent dinner, and the men and women, full of eager questions and innocent mirth, filled the Swaffham parlors, and made a fair picture of hospitality sobered by great interests and great events; Some of the guests lingered for two and three days, but Dr. Verity would not be delayed. The next morning he enrolled sixty men and then he was resolved .to ride with them as far as York. "And if Neville comes, send him quickly after me, he said. He thought he might be four days, but I will give him seven, and then wonder if he keeps tryst. . There will be many things in London to delay him. In fact, Neville was so long delayed, that Mrs. Swaffham was certain he had been sent back to Scotland at once on Mrs. Cromw-ellorder, and that he would probably be with the Lord General before Dr. Verity. After a week or more had passed, all expectation of his visit died out, and Jane began to wonder why Matilda had not been to see her. As she was speaking there was a slight stir in tae passage and Jane smiled at her mother. It was .only an illustration of the old law they had been talking of Matilda, because she was approachirg them, and had sent her thoughts in advance.

They also agreed that whoever had news first should send a swift messenger to the other, no matter what the tidings should be. When they parted, Jane kissed her friend, a token of love she had not given her for a long time and Matilda was so affected by this return of sympathy that she covered her face with her hands and wept. Oh, Jane! she said, I have been so lonely! And as Jane answered her with affectionate assurances, there came into her heart a sudden anticipation of intelligence. Without consideration, with no purpose of mere she said confidently: There is some one on the way.

I mean to stay here until the Generals messenger Joins me. He sent a letter to London by the young Lord Cluny Neville, and he took the direct road there, so we parted very early in the day; but he calls here for me on nis return, and we shall go back together, if so God wills, to Edinburgh. I never heard you speak of Lord Cluny Neville before. Because I did not know him before. Cromwell has set his heart on the youth, and shows him great favor.
