Thero has been a fearful pull back on lasses all the summer. Sketch of Hr. Randall- Saniuel Jr Randall, the new speaker, was born in Philadelphia in 1828. His father, Josiah Randall, was an eminent lawyer. Young Randall chose a nier cau tile life; and was very successful botli in business and politics. . Ho be gan his earnest political cireer iif n Democrat, and as such was elected to the City Councils, the State Senate, ;and finally, in 1BG2, to Congress. It was not loDg beforo, his value became . ap parent, and his constituents appreci ated it by re-electing him seven tirars. Mr. Randall has been a member of every Congress from tho Thirty-?ighth to the Forty-lift h, and in the fourteen years of his service he has always been known as an earnest worker, the clmru pion of honesty, and ,the friend of4.hc workiugmeu. The latter Mr. Randall has proven himself to bo by his advo cacy, almost a'one, of several" measures in which workingmen were interred for their, rights. For sometime pivst many have regarded. Mr. Randall as the leader of the Democratic sidj of the House, and last year there waa a hard strtigghfor the .nomination for speaker between his friends and those of Ir. Kanyjkvho was successful. itf i;jg appointed Chairman of tlu C ua mittee of Appropriations, he f adop: d "Retrenchiiient for the j)eople s sace" as his watcltword, ami went to cutting down the expenses of the Govemm nt. This he didjto the extent of $3(),(Ui), 000. Throughout, the session the pp position made him the principal Jfiuf of attack; but lie'stbod lns'gronihl well throughout! Mr. Randall is regarded, as' the ablest parliamentary tactician in CVingress, aiul probably in the country and in the position to which he has been elected he will have ample scope to display his ability in this respect He is also distinguished by his readi nss in debate, his courage in assuming and sustaining a position in the face of great odds, -his great regard for the Constitution, and his Lonsty of pur pose, fact and foresight X Sad WxicNixo. Wheu a Chrouicle man lias taken his usual OlJorning rounds he is accustomed. to meet about 087 "men, who grab him by tho coat tail, lead hijn to one side arul proceed to nsk him about the latest news from Florida and Louisiana. This sort of thing has hu ii jjoing on a couple "of weeks, and is slightly verging upon monotony, f This morning about 10:30 it sandy-complexioned mau rudely stopped a Chronicle reporter iu the strt-et, dragged him into a doorway, and asked him to give the exact ligures on the reuiainiug thirty-six parishes in Louisiana. The reporter paused a moment, prayed to be forgiven,'1 and thn setit six shots from a self-cocker into the man's bowels. He died with out a struggle and will hi : buried this afternoon at 11 o'clock. He was in most respects an exemplary citizen, and al ways paid his taxes like a man. His wifu and'nino children will be cared for during the winter by some of our benevolent societies.

Stokes, the murderer of Fisk, . made lots of 'money while in prison. The attendant who locked and unlocked his fetters for he was ironed while at Sing Sing brought him the stock quotations every morning and took his orders for his brokers in New York. In this manner he recovered all "that his defense cost him. . ' , On Monday morning;, August 21st, four, white men, while out! hunting about two miles from Dead wood, kill ed a deer, and, while they were skin ning it, one of them saw an Indian approaching .them, leading his pony. He Was probably trying td surprise them, but being uncertain of their ex act position, he had approached too near, and they discovered him first; one of the party snached up his shot gun, loaded .with buckshot, and." fired both barrels, bringing down the Indian and his pony. The confident manner, in which tl3 Indian had walked to ward them had led them to suppose that he was supported by a number of others, and so they quickly retreated toward Dead wood for re-enforcement. A party started out to scout the couu try, on reaching tho spot where the: deer lay, the men saw the body of the Indiau by the side of his pony, and thinking him dead, they rushed for ward. This action was fatal to one of -the party, for a shot from the Indian's rillo struck him in tlie heart. A volley from :the others killed the Indian in stantly, however, and ; his body was quickly surrounded by the white men.' Tli e Indian had been almost; riddled with buckshot, one shoulder aud both! legs having been broken, yetihe man- aged to bandage his legs and to take uuerriug aim with his wounded arm. Kn;ying. thaLhis life.would bo taken: without doubt, he had prepared to sell it as dearly as possible, anil, lying, on! his i back, he 'rested his rille on his wounded legs and shot dead tho fore-j most of his assailants. In his 'mouth was another cartridge ready to reload His ritle was the best and latest breech-j loading arms issued to the army in 187o, and it was probable . that; he ob tained it in the Custar er Reno fight, sinco an old bullet mark, in the grip of the stock showed that it had been in action. r "My son," said a father to his hope ful son, "you did not saw any wood forj the kitchen stove yesterday, as I tol you to; you left the back gat open and let the cow get out; you cut off eigh teen feet from the clotlics line .to make you a lasso; you stoned Mr. Robinson's pet dog aud lamed it;, you put a hard shell turtle in the hired .girls bed; you tied a. strange dog to Mr. Jaeobson's1 door-bell; and painted red and green1 stripes on the legs of old 3 Irs.

The) father replied, sternly: . "No trifling, sir. No, I have several reports to re-i ceive froin others of the neighbors.' j "Then," replied the boy, "you will not be justified in proceeding to ex treme measures until the official'' count is in." Sbortlv afterward the election was thrown into the hoase; and before half the votes were, canvassed it was evident, from the peculiar applause that the boy was baulv beaten. v- Flowers.
