At midnight Thursday the Gloucester schooner ran into the en trance of Shelburne harbor to escape the fury of a heavy southeast gale. She an- chored eight miles from the custom house. The storm moderating at daylight, Cap tain Landry hove anchor and was about to proceed on his voyage when he was board ed by an armed guard from the cj^iser Terror and, subsequently, seized for not reporting at customs. Captain Landry protests that the custom house was eight miles distant, that it had ..been closed eight hours before he anchored and would not be open for four hours after he sailed, and that he had no communication with the shore, were of no avail, a line of *400 was imposed by the Ottawa authori ties. Consul-General Phelan wired the minister of customs the trivial nature of the alleged offense, and asked for a reduc tion of the fine. This was refused. But pending the instructions of the Gloucester owners regarding the payment of the tine the Marion Grimes was allowed to ride at anchor under the bows of the cruiser, in stead of being docked and placed in charge of armed guards, as is Capt. Quigley’s habit with captured American vessels. This morning Quigley observed the American flag flying from the mainmast of the Grimes, upon which had been placed the queen’s broad arrow. Quigley was astonished at the yankee skipper’s audaci ty, and immediately sent to Inquire if he had been released from the customs au thorities. On receiving a negative reply he ordered the American skipper to haul down the United States flag, as its display was a gross impropriety when the vessel was in the custody of British offlcials for a breach of British law.' Captain Landry accordingly hauled down his flag. The American skipper went •ashore, conversed with his friends, saw the degradation to which he had been sub jected, and immediately returned to his vessel, and was again iii the act of hoisting the stars and stripes when the Canadian tar once more hailed him, and learning that the vessel had not yet been released by the customs department preempo, for bade him hoisting bis flag. Landry replied that he. had a perfect right to fly his American flag over an American vessel and that Quigley or no other men could prevent him, and he therefore hauled the stars and stripes to the masthead. This greatly enraged Quigley, who im mediately boarded the Grimes with an armed guard and vigorously remostrated with the American skipper upon the fool ishness of his proceedings, which would g robably result in the loss of his vessel and ring about international unpleasantness. Quigley then lowered the stars and stripes from the masthead, unrove the flag hal yards of the schooner and came ashore, j and the Marion Grimes was subsequently brought to a wharf and placed in charge of a guard. Captain Landry is reticent about this ac tion, but Consul-General Phelan became very indignant when the telegraphic re ports reached him this afternoon, and re gards it as the most high-handed outrage yet perpetrated. He immediately tele graphed the facts to Secretary Bayard. LAST OF THE BUFFALO.

This game has been recklessly slaughtered, and now it is too late to preserve the scattered remnant of the groat herds which once roamed from the Atlantic to the Pacific. A few figures in the National Museum and the little hobbling herd of calves in the Wild West show will be the last representatives of the American bison. INDIANA’S WAR EXPENSES. dross Frauds Discovered in tho Settlement o! (Julius. ' W ^,™? NGT0N i October 13.-Third Audi tor Williams, of the treasury department, has addressed a letter to the governor of Indiana, in which he states that in view of the unsatisfactory condition of the records of his office concerning the claims of sev- y approach and recede from the equa torial regions according to the sermons— which, with Mars, are nearly twice the length of ours—much the sumo as they do witli us. Tlie length of the Martial year is liSOtl days. The atmosphere of Mars is dense, proba bly much more so than tiie earth’s, which would conserve the heat by retarding radi ation, while its land and water, instead of being distributed in great continents and oceans, is a net-work of great canals and long, narrow peninsulas and Islands. Its inclination to its orbit is nearly 29 ’, while the earth’s is nearly 24°, making the Mar tial tropic zone 40 wider than ours. All these conditions ure advantages tending to equalize the difference in position relative to the nun, and if not evidence of design is curiously akin to it. As the Martial summer approaches, the snows that come down toward the equator molt away until they are visible only as a small spot around the pole, which would be exposed to the sun for a year at a time, followed in winter by a year of night. This indicates that the heat received by Mars is sufficient to vaporize water and that this vapor is deposited as snow or rain. As there is no spot upon tho earth’s surface eral states against the United States filed ! "’here heat and moisture is present that Is ’ " ' is of the act of congress not luxuriant with life. Mars may almost under the provisions oi me act or congre approved July 7, 1801, to indemnify the states for expenses incurred by them in defense of the United Stutes, and acts sup- plemental thereto, be had found it neces sary to make a t horough examination of such claims iti order to arrive at an intelli gent understanding of their present condi tion. nv_ru iuaui iium itu 111 v . luai n uuty tuiuuab certainly be considered as inhabited with | organized beings of some kind. The length of the Martial day is 21 hours I and 37 minutes. Its diameter is 4300 miles, i while its surface contains but one-third j tho area of the earth. Its density is about I the same as the earth’s, and may, there fore, be considered as composed dr similar The examination of the war claims of I substances in about the same proportion, the state of Indiana under the acts refer- }" ail these respeei-% Mars may well be red to has just been completed, and he ^ er,li ed a brother earth; but aho has two “Will you eat a doomed dainty with me?” said the chief taxidermist of the i National museum at Washington, smooth- ! irig the rumpled feathers of a dove which _.e was deftly skinning. “Don’t care if I do,” replied his visitor, .glancing at the bird in the hands of the naturalist. “What is it to-day—broiled squab?” “No, sir; jerked buffalo beef, a dish tit to set before a prince, and one which, in a short time, neither king nor kaiser will be able to get for love or money. The buf falo in this country have been nearly rub bed off the face of the earth, and the portion which I have in this bag is almost certainly the last which you will ever taste.” So speaking, the naturalist plucked an old canvas *bag from under tho table and •carefully unwound the cord that fastened its mouth. “Look there,” he said, point ing at a little heap of strips at the bottom of the bag, “that is all I have left, and your lunch to-day will be a meal to mark with a white stone. Try a strip,” he con tinued, taking two from the bag and hand ing one to his visitor, while he bit the other with evident relish. “You can nut a little salt on it if you like, but anything else impairs the flavor.” The strip was dingy brown in color, with a little fuzz upon it, which made it j resemble apiece of ancient codfish as much | as a piece of jerked beef. To the unodu- I cated taste its flavor was a cross between | that of an old coon and a freshly killed ! Texas steer. The writer succeeded in j chewing and swallowing the piece which had been handed to him, blit it removed j bis natural regret at the ex inction ol tlie | American bison. Meanwhile the natural- I ist went on eating and talking with unaf- , fected enthusiasm. “This beef is a product of my last hunt on behalf of the Smithsonian Institution. We are anxious to make a good collection of the hides and bones of tlie burtalo be fore the species become extinct. So 1 j made up a small hunting party to go tj the only place in this country where buffalo still linger—the Bad Lauds between , the Missouri and the Yellowstone, the I animal has become so rare that the army agents and hunters whom t met laughed at "my expedition. I remember one old , man, in particular, who is reputed to have been the most successful buflnlo hunter on , the plains in former years. He said to me : when I asked him where X should be most likely to find buffalo: ‘You can t go no whar. Thar ain’t no buffalo.’ Still 1 per severed, but I rode for many days up and down through the country without seeing any trace of a living buffalo. “And what a dismal hunting ground it was!” he continued, smacking his lips re flectively over another dried slip; one monotonous sequence of hills and hollows —not a tree—not even a friendly rook tt shade us in all that barren land, ntreams cut in at intervals, so that we did not suiter from thirst, but the glare of the sun was ^ fiercer than I ever knew it to be_ in India. In less than two days the skin ot our faces and hands peeled off like the shell oi a walnut, and our eyes felt as if they were ; scorched beneath their lids. Everywhere, covering the earth with gleaming white specks, were the skeletons of buffalo- r.x- g ftsure on those weather-beaten hills nan leached them to the whiteness of tine flax. On one tract, not larger than an acre, I counted eighty-six skeletons. I ne Bad Lands are the graveyard of the race. “Did you ride to any particular section of the field?” inquired the writer. “No,” was the answer. “One place was as promising as another, so we rode about almost at random. At length I succeded in killing two buffaloes, one ot which i jpleted encloses for the governor’s information and such action as he may deem advisable an abstract showing in detail the amounts which he says have been erroneously, im properly and unlawfully allowed the state. First, in excess of vouchers presented; second, twice for the same service, and third, amounts allowed without vouchers, amounting in all to .*46,123. CARELESSNESS OR WORSE. The abstract, he said, serves to show gross carelessness or something worse in the settlement and adjustment of these" accounts for whieli some uerson or per sons then in the third auditor’s office are responsible. This, Mr. Williams says, is evident, and continues: Take, for example, voucher No. 130, ac count of O. H. Kendrick, charged on ab stract filed by the state aid allowed by the third auditor for $39.30, whereas the voucher itself called for $2930, thus raising the amount $1000. Voucher No. 3314, ac count of Robert Bennett & Co., voucher for $54. It is charged on the abstract tiled by the state and allowed by the third audi tor’s office at $5425, a difference of $5371. Voucher No. 4611, account of A. Bookwal- tei, amounting to $9.50. is charged on the abstract presented by the state and allowed by the third auditor for $950. There are other like items for smaller amounts which will be observed iu the course of an examination of the abstract. ALLOWED AND PAID TWICE. Mr. Williams says further: The amounts allowed and paid twice by the government will also attract attention. It is assumed, as it win the uniform re quirement, that duplicate vouchers were taken in the settlement of these accounts. It appears that atone time it was the cus tom of the state offlcials having these ac counts in their charge to file one of these duplicate vouchers for ordnance and ord nance stores in the second auditor’s office, which is charged with the settlement or ordnance accounts, where it was allowed and paid. The other voucher was filed iu the third auditor’s office, as a claim against the government under the act of July 27, 1861, and allowed and paid. In a large majority of the claims, however, it appears that the agents of the state, after presenting to the third auditor’s office the single of the duplicate vouchers which was settled and paid, in subsequent settle ments presented the other voucher, and it, too, was audited and paid, thus making double payments to a very considerable amount. The brazen ness of the state offi cials, as well as the facility with which they were enabled to run the fraud t hrough the third auditor’s officers worthy of attention. A CALL FOR RESTITUTION. Auditor Williams respectfully submits that the next legislature should promptly provide for the restitution of this money. If it be said that there is still an unsettled account between the state and the general government growing out of expenses in curred by tlie state iu furnishing troops in the war of the rebellion forwhicli itshould be reimbursed, as provided for by tlie act of congress, the general government has not only been generous to Indiana, but to all the states, in the adjustment and payment of their claims, and that so far as he is concerned lie is prepared to promptly and without delay act just and settle all accounts of the state oi' Indiana where the necessary and proper vouchers are presented, but he is inclined to the opinion that lie ought not -o pass upon a single claim of the slate until this sum of $46,123 is covered into the treasury. The auditor concludes by stating that it is, perhaps, proper that he should add that the erroneous and unlawful allow ances shown in the accompanying ab stract occurred at varfous times—first in the year of 1865 and continuing down to the' year 1871—and that the claims in which tlie errors and overcharges, or whatever else one may please to call them, re discovered appear to have been for- A ..-.a filloA 1...■ f-Jenernl W. 11. H. moons, as different from our moon u.s it is possible for moons to be. Our own moon is half us large as Mars, while the Martini moons are erratic little fellows from seven to ten miles in diameter, and one of them revolving around the planet so swiftly as to have overthrown the respectability of the nebular hypothesis. There are few telescopes powerful enough to exhibit these moons, and with Mars in its present position they ure totally invisible. The inner satellite is about seven miles in diameter, and revolves around Mars from west to east in seven hours and thirty-eight minutes, at a dis tance from the surface of the planet of only 3300 miles. The outer satellite re volves in the same direction iu t hirty hours and fourteen minutes, and is 14,200 miles distant from the planet. The curious feature of a moon revolving around its primary on a much larger circle three times faster than the equatorial regions of the planet is what has destroyed tlie nebu lar hypothesis. The Martial people, if there be any, have the curious spectacle of moons apparently moving in opposito directions, the outer satellite, having a period six hours longer than a Martial day, would appear to rise in the east and set in the west, but moving so nearly at the same rate as the planet that it would not set to the eyes of a Mar tial inhabitant for two days. "The inner moon, moving three times faster than tlie surface of the planet, would appear to rise in the west and set in tlie east, and would , he visible but about two hours and a half, j or, as “Bill Nye” would say, would move i from elevator “A” to the Meridian street I church steeple in an hour. Of the existence of Martial satellites the fantastic speculations of the lost century curiously approach tlie truth. Swift, in Iris “Gulliver’s Travels,” said: “The inhabi tants of Laputa spend the greater part of their lives in observing the celestial bodies with telescopes excelling ours a hundred ; times. They have discovered two satel lites which revolve about Mara, whereof the innermost is distant lrom the center of [ the primary exactly three of its diameters I and the outermost five diameters. The \ former revolves in ten hours and the latter , in twenty-one hours and thirty mintes, so J that the squares of the periodic | times are very near in the same proportion with the cubes of the distances from tho centre of Mars.” So that Swift, in satirizing the speculations involved in the theory of j gravitation, unconsciously demonstrated a ! truth with a realism quite startling, and it i is quite eleur that Prof. Asuph Hall must J divide the honors of tlie discovery of these I moons with Lemuel Gulliver. Voltaire, j attempting to satirize Swift, makes an in habitant of Sirrius and Saturn, as they journey together through space, plainly discern two satellites of Mars revolving around the planet, although they appa rently did not have time to take measure ments. M;tys will be in conjunction again this , winter, and, although it will be many : years before it comes as close as it did two years since, it will be in favorable position | for observation. Its distance from tlie earth is rapidly variable, being at one time each revolution 52,000,000 miles, and at the opposite piiase 232,000,000 of miles from an observer on the earth.
