Another strange freak of Mexican justice

had no SI,OOO, and no way of earning it in
the county jail, he was turned loose at the
end of the three mouths.
Jake Wallace, who was one of Curly Bill’s
lieutenants, and has been frequently illus
trated in police papers as one of the men
who make tenderfeet dance to the musical
accompaniment of a six-shooter, used, when
he was in a good humor, to tell a very good
story on himself. During the time that San
Simon was the headquarters for the rustlers,
it was a favorite amusement when a passen
ger got off the Southern Pacific train, to
make him stand drinks, dance, and other
wise amuse the rustlers, miners and cow
boys. One night they had a stag buile, or
ball, and Jake noticed a rather well-dressed
young fellow laughing at his attempt to
dance a polka. He approached the tender
foot and said:
“Now, young feller, yer don’t, like how I
dance. You just get out thar and dance
yourself, and lively, too.”
Jake had him covered with a six-shooter;
there was nothing for the tenderfoot to do
but to obey. At the end of the dance Jake
asked him to come into the adjoining saloon
and have a drink. The tenderfoot at once
consented. Like all Western men of his
type, Wallace was a dude as to his weapons,
and his Colt’s revolver was ivory handled
and beautifully inlaid with silver. While
they were drinking the tenderfoot kept ad
miring it, and wound up by asking how
much he paid for it. Jake told him ho
paid S3O.
“Well,” remarked the tenderfoot, “I am
a drummer for a gunmaker’s firm myself,
and I can sell you a better pistol than that
for SB.”
“Bet ye yer can’t. Just ye look at it.”
And Jake pulled the pistol out and handed
it over to the tenderfoot. The very moment
the latter’s hand closed upon it he covered
Jake and exclaimed: “D—n you, you made
me dance for your pleasure and now you’ve
got to dance for mine.”
“Did you danceT’ I asked Jake.
“Of course 1 did,” he replied; “the fellow
had the drop on me, an’ it was just my
blamed luck. I took the feller as havin’
come from the East, when he hail just come
straight from California.” > C. A. M.

“They’s a good size to it,” sez I. “How

“I cud git four on the pants, four or

FREAKS OF THE INSANE.
The Queer Fancies of People Who Are
Crazy.
From the Baltimore Herald.
Doubtless one of the most interesting
fields for human research is that which em
braces the hallucinations of lunatics. By
what psychological power insane persons
are enabled to believe themselves potentates
or criminals or the victims of the passions
of others is a mystery; and the manifold de
lusions to which such persons are subject—
no two cases being alike—onlv increase
what no mystagogue or physiologist has as
yet fully explained.
Every reader will recall the case de
scribed by Dickens in “David Copperfleld”
of poor Mr. Dick and the trouble lie en
countered in writing his memorial of Charles
1., and tliat other case, described by Eggles
ton in “The Hoosier Schoolmaster,” of the
lunatic Andrew Jackson, whose head was
one-half sound and the other half “tater.”
Such illustrations of the freaks of in
sanity are to be met with in real life every
day.
For some time past a reporter has been
collecting information concerning the
freaks of the insane patients confined at
Bayview, Mount Hope and Spring Grove
Asylums; and he has also been the recipient
of a large correspondence from the keepers
of almhouses throughout the. State, wherein
liauper lunatics, subject to the milder and
less violent forms of insanity, are cared
for. From hundreds of eases investigated
the following are selected. For obvious
reasons they are given without being at
tributed to the particular institutions where
the victims are confined:
An unfortunate, sjioken of by an alms
house kw'jK'i' of one of the Western Mary
land comities, imagines that he has been
elected President of the United States and
that he is restrained from assuming the
functions of his office by his twin brother,
who is endeavoring to pass himself off as the
the one chosen by tlie electors. The patient
is greatly pleased when he is addressed as
“Mr. President,” or “Your Excellency,”
and instantly becomes violent when liis
right to the title is dlsputed-or ridiculed.
Another similar case to the above is that
of a patient who believes that he is the com
mander or a vast army. One day he es
cajied from his cell, and when found was
standing upon a high hill a few miles from
the asylum, whence a view of a large tract
of the surrounding country could lie had.
His right hand grasped a stick, which he
wielded above his head like a sword and
shouted:
“Form fours 1 Drawsabris! Charge!”
He imagined that he was ordering a
charge of cavalry. Upon being told tuat
his troops had achieved a great victory he
suffered himself to be earned back to the
asylum without making resistance.
A familiar figure upon the streets of Balti
more is an aged man with a quick, erect,
military step, and wearing a “G. A. R.”
cap anil blue army coat. He fancies that
the civil war is still raging, and that he is
home on a furlough, which is extended from
time to time. His mental delusion is the re
sult of a wound in the head received in the
rifle-pits before Richmond. /
At an asylum near the city is confined a
patient who thinks he is a distinguished
military officer and requires every person
coming near him to make a military salute.
A numerous class of lunatics are those
who imagine themselves in communication
with spirits. The minds of those have gen
erally become diseased by religious enthu
siasm and influences. One of this class
firmly believes that everything he is request
ed to do is in direct opposition to the tenets
of the Episcopal church. When told to eat
or to dress himself he refuses to obey.
Another holds imaginary conversation
with unseen spirits, which continually hover
around him and give him an account of
events in ths spiritual wuirld.
Mrs. R is perfectly sane on all sub
jects, save that of spiritualism. She be
lieves there is a spiritual citj in the centre
of the earth and that when a person dies his
soul is conveyed below, where everything is
the same as it is on earth. She is in the
asylum under oath, waiting for her father,
the angel Michael, to call her back to her
former home, which she left 38,000 years
ago, to relate her impressions of the asylum.
Her mother is Queen Victoria.
M W alw'ays fancies in the
morning that he w r as the first man who
lived on earth; that;he is now 1,700,000,000
years old, and has the same number of years
yet to live; that the entire population of the
globe are his lineal descendants. In the even
ing he believes liimself to be the Saviour,
and says that he was crucified three times.
T B thinks he is King Solo
mon. If not watched he eats and swallows
hisMotlies, saying that after being received
interns stomach they are fashioned into ap
parel for his hunilreds of wives.
A demented inmate of a county almshouse
has not spoken for years. He is, during
ids waking hours, W'aging a continual war
fare with imaginary beings who attack him.
In the Dorchester county pauperhouse is a
lunatic who fauces that he is the smartest
man alive, all others 1 wing fools. For hours
he will speak upon some scientific subject,
and, if his hearers manifest any impatience,
will scold and abuse them.
In the same institution is a crazy phren
ologist, who delivers lectures upon his fa
vorite science and insists upon giving every
person whom he secs phrenological exami
nation. His favorite “organ” for lecturing
upou is veneration, and if his subject have
it well developed he will talk to him for
hours. However, he will have nothing to
do with a person whose developments fail to
suit him. He has written several thousand
pages of a work on phrenology which he ex
pects shortly Ur have published.
A female patient is a county almshouse is
possessed of the delusion that she spent ten
years in heaven and was sent on earth as a
missionary.
A man in the same almshouse believes
that because of his sins, which are many,
he was killed by a thunderbolt from heaven;
that he was raised from the dead, and put
in confinement to repent.
Another inmate, a female, is the owner ol*
Maryland and the wife of President Lin
coln! She often leaves food for the “Union
gods,” and because they do not get it is
greatly distressed and fears they have been
destroyed.
One of the patients met with atone of the
eity institutions is a believer of witchcraft.
The witches annoy her in every conceivable
manner, but she gets rid of them by trump
ing on them. Hhe ulso fancies that attempts
are made to poison her, and that the resi
dent physician visits her room ut midnight
and stabs her.
Another patient thinks the asylum is a
large boarding-house tor celestial spirits and
that sh# has the authority to discharge all
the servants and uttenilants; also that a
great many jieople are drowned in a deep
well near the Imilding and that she has pre
viously met every stranger who calls.
Many female lunatics were met with
whose afllictions appeared to be connected
with an unfortunate mniTiageorlove affair,
and the reporter was told that this class
comprised the larger portion of the female
patients.
E. H. G declares tliat her husband
has deserted her, after robbing tier of her
jewelry, and that she wants to go to Cris
iiold to see hoi - only daughter, tThis patient
was never married, her family having
broken off her engagement a week prior to
the date set for its consummation.]
Me vend unfortunate! were met with who
protested that their liusliands had placed
them in the asylums in order that they might
marry other women.
R. 'H says her husband is iqistairs,
and that she is not allowed to see him. At
times she becomes violent and thinks he has
bwn killed and his remains sent to New
Zealand for interment.
F. W. M talks incessantly aliout her
mother-in-law. and avows that her sister-in
law has been shut up in a dungeon, where
she is being torn piecemeal liy infuriated
bloodhounds.
Mrs. B imagines that ns the cock
crows every morning three men with ho sis
over their turn* come through her window
and attempt to kill her child and then her
self.
Mrs. A— - thinks that her husband is
dying for the want of projierly cookwi food,
aiid she wants to go home anil attend to pre
]wiring his meals, of which his constitution
requires eight a day.
Mrs. MeC ’s hallucination is that her
husliand is jealous of her and that he has
had hereoniined and has briliod the physi
cian to administer slow poison to her.
Miss O— is haunted by pci-sistcnt lov
en! who seek her hand in marriage, hut sho
is compelled to refuse them because of a
proviso made in the will of a deceased uncle.
Sometimes she thinks of disobeying the be
hest, and then her uncle’s ghost visits her.
R. L is insane on the subject of base
ball. He will often play a game by himself,
and at the end always imagines that his
eluti is.benton because of the unfair rulings
of the umpire. Then ho becomes violent
and will assault aiiy person he can. An
nother base hall craiiK offers to si'll him
self to the visitors for $35,000 for the sea
son.
H. G nbominates the face of a wom
an and raves and curses when one comes
near him.
E. L believes that he has lost the
power of locomotion and crawls on his
hand and feet.
N. H. E fancies that his internal
anatomy is constructed of iron and en
deavors to eat any substance upon which he
can lay tis hands.
C. T. M owns everything in the
world. He makes money out. of tissue ] taper
and offers it to bo distributed among the
poor, of whom he believes himself to
tie the only benefactor.
T. H crows and flaps his arms and
imagines that he is a fowl. He disowns all
who claim to be his relatives and seems per
fectly happy.
R. H is a pugilist, and draws pic
tures of men in fighting attitudes on the
walls, and then punches at the pictures with
his lists.
Mrs. G thinks that the resident phy
sician has her face and will not restore it to
her, and consequently she is unable to leave
the asylum.
Although the above is only a partial list
of the many reports of the vagaries of in
sane persons in the reporter’s possession, it is
believed that they will afford an entertain
ing view of an interesting subject.
THE DUDE AND THE BEAR.
Bill Nye Again Rouses Up the Inter
state Commissioners.
From tlie New York World.
Under the interstate commerce law a dog
cannot ride on the elevated road, but this
does not apply to other wild or domestic
animals.
This is the reason that a dude yesterday,
accompanied by a young bear, weighing
about forty pounds, successfully evaded the
ticket taker and rode down-town on one
ticket.
The dude wore one of those short-waisted
and sawed-off ulstei-s, commonly called Nor
folk jackets, but the cub wore nothing but an
air of defiance.
The two sat down near each other, but
the bear was restless. Finally he jumped
up on the seat near a lady who was riding
down town, and she went into another car.
There wa.s a gixxl deal of room then near
the dude, but nobody wanted any of those
seats.
There ought to be some ruling on this
question of liear transportation. It is a
matter which interests all of us. Can wild
beasts and reptiles be classed as peoplo, while
dogs are ruled out? Can a man accompa
nied by a small dog be barred out, while the
owner of an elephant or an active hornet’s
nest may take his property with him on his
journey'?
Here was a clear case of a wild beast,
whose youth alone prevented him from eat
ing people, for he looked hungry enough to
eat the hind legs of a railroad frog.
The question to be submitted to the Inter
state Commission is, whether the railways
by thus leaving down the bars are not, as
common carriers, to admit a gentleman ac
companied by a hyena, a pet goat, an alli
gator or a rhinoceros. Unjust discrimina
tions cannot be made to the prejudice of any
one.
It is to be hoped, however, that further
complications may be avoided by leaving

A Painter’s Boyhood.
From the London Globe.
Sir John E. Millais last night distributed
the prizes to the successful students of the
Sheffield School of Art, and took advantage
of the occasion to narrate several eventful
episodes of his life. Fifty years ago his
parents brought him from Jersey to South
ampton and thence to London. As they
approached the metroisilis on the top of a
mail coach, ho remembered that he observed
a great red glow in the sky wiiieh was new
to him, and he usked his mother what it
was. “My boy,” she said, “those are the
lights of London”—the London in which lie
was to sink or swim. Two days later he
was taken by his mother to Sir Martin
Archer Shee, then President of the Royal
Academy, who received them with old
fashioned kindness and jxiliteness. His
mother,who was a clever, practical woman,
(and here he should like to suy that he owed
everything to his mother) lost not a moment
in telling the President the object of their
visit. She told him how their neighbors
and friends in Jersey thought greatly of his
talents, that he would not trust to the opin
ion of friends, and so she had come to fiiui
to ascertain from the best source whether it
would be prudent for his father to bring
him up as an artist.. The first remark
which Sir Martin Shee made he should
never forget. He said: “Madam, you had
better bring the boy up to lie a chimney
sweeper.” They could imagine that his
hopes looked very black indeed Nothing
daunted his mother replied: “But surely.
Sir Martin, you will look at the boy’s draw
ings before you decide.” Thereupon a port
folio was brought up from tlie hall and
opened and inspected by the President.
After giviug the drawings some careful at
tention the President turned to him, placed
his hand upon his head and looked
him steadfastly in the face,
saying : “You did all these
drawings yourself, my little man?”
He was too frightened to answer, but the
President evidently thought he was not an
impostor, for turning to his mother he said
emphatically: “Mo/lain, it is your dutv to
bring this boy up to the profession.”
Following this advice he was at once
placed with Mr. Savs, in Bloomsbury, but
Mr. Mass was unfortunately ill, and he must
say he got little or no instruction from him.
But he was placed among companions who
were much older than himself, some very
clever draughtsmen among the numlicr,
and he improved by looking at their work
and obtaining their criticism upon his own
work. He eould not too strongly insist
upon the advantage students might lie to
one aiinthor. At Mr. Mass’ he workoil hard,
very hard for so young a Isiy, and made
great priigress. From that school he went
into the Royal Academy as a probationer,
and after passing a qualifying examination
he became a student. /Vs the youngest stu
dent he reirieinbrrod one duty
in connection with those early days.
He was told oft by the other stu
dents daily to obtain their luncheons for
them. He had to collect from 'lO to 60 pence
from his coin] anions, and go with that nourd
to a neighboring baker's and purchase as
many buns. He liod an eye to business even
in these days, for ho got u commission upon
the transaction. He always got n bun lor
himself gratis, and the good-natured Imker
gave him his liest, Imn —a bath him, value
twopence. In the very first year of his
stud ntship he enten*d for u prize, a medal
given for the bust drawing in the antique
ami failed by oue vote, so that he could
thoroughly sympathize with those students
who were not taking prizes that night. The
next year he ugam tried, mid to lux joy ami
astonishment lie won a first of three prizes.
Since then he had tried for many mmlalx,
and he hoped they would not think it hn
iii'xloxt in iiim to say that he had always
won them, because it Was a simple fact.
LETTER FROM GEN. JACKSON.
A Hitherto Unpublished Epistle of
Great Interest’
A Decatur, (Ala)., letter to tlie Missouri
Republicans ays:
From a gentleman who now lives In Flor
ence, Ala., I obtained letters written by Gen,
Jackson that are incorporated below, and
also others that will hereafter appear in
print, os fast as they can lie arranged for
publication. The letters were written to the
father of the gentleman who gave them to
me. The recipient of the letters was the
intimate friend, the occasional business part
ner, and the political lieutenant of Gen.
Jackson. He was a man prominent in poli
tics, eminent in finance, renowned in state
craft and exalted in society. The letters
were left among his private papers in the
care of his wife, and by her, till the ilay of
her recent death, were treasured as relies
from which links were made chaining the
past to the present. They’have never Loan
made public, and were given to me with the
expressed condition that the name of the re
cipient and donor lie suppressed. Not on ac
count of any unpleasant associations con
nected with their publication, but simply
that the family do not desire newspaper no
toriety. As to the genuineness of the docu
ments I refer you to any reputable citizen of
Florence.
The different, letters cover a period when
events were happening that formed tho early
pages of our historv. England had received
her breakfast of indigestible American man
hood, her dinner of tho same food and was
again receiving her supper, after which she
went to sleep and left America in peace.
This country was then in its swaddling
clothes; her Institutions were infants; her
finance crippled; her credit in danger; war
was going on by ocean, lake and land. The
Spanish were contesting the right to the
Mississippi river; France possessed Ameri
can territory; England was arousing the
savages to bloodshed, rapine and murder;
the lJey of Algiers was robbing Ameri
can merchantmen and Decatur w r as sent
to Tripoli to thrash the Algierian pirates.
WORDS WERE THEN BEING UTTERKII
that live in history and song to-day, that
were uttered when order blossomed as a
flower from chaos, and will end only when
time slips into the bosom of eternity. The
gallant Lawrence was crying from the deck
of the Chesapeake:
“Don't give up the ship;” Perry sent the
message, “Wp have met the enemy and they
arc ours;” Francis Key wrote his soul-stir
ring song, “The Star Spangled Banner;”
the grand idea of “free trade ami sailors’
rights” was being expounded; the Semi
lioles were driven to Lake Okeechobee, and
the Indians on the Canadian frontier were
allowed to rove without a bridle in their
murderous invasion; Dick Johnson hail slain
the groat Tecumseh, and Andrew Jackson,
the writer of these letters, was waging war
against a foe more bloodthirsty, relentless,
venomous and deadly, more wily, stealthy
and dangerous,, who wore foraging upon the
inland birders of advanceng civilization.
The dangerous Creeks, led by the dauntless
warrior chief, Witherfurd, were tievastat
ing pioneer homes and committing murder
ous depredations against the people of the
interior. With a handful of Tennessee
volunteers and the rawund unarmed militia
of Georgia and Alaliainu, Jackson was sent
to suppress the Creeks. That ho did so, tho
battles of Callabee, of Antossee, Tallushat
chee, Talladega, Ennickfau and Tohopeka'
or “Horseshoe Bend” all testify. It was at
Tohopeka that Chief Witherford delivered
his defiant defense to Gen. Jackson in
words that be spi ike the man, and that should
sound, their sentiment in every ear to-day
as they did then. Driven into a narrow
bend from which there was no escape, he
delivered himself of the following worils, as
reported by Gen Jackson himself:
“I am in your power. Do with me as you
please. lam a soldier. I have done the
white people ail the harm I could. I have
fought them, and fought them bravely. If
I had an army I would yet fight and con
tend to the last. But I have none. My
people are all gone I can do no more than
weep over the misfortune of my nation.
Once L could animate my warriors to battle,
but I cannot animate, tne dead. My war
riors can no longer hear mv voice. Their
bones are at Talladega, Tallusatchee, En
nickfau and Tiihoixilc. I have not surrmul
ered "myself thoughtlessly. While there were
chances for success I never left my post nor
supplicated for ]>eaee. But me people are
gone anil I now ask it for my nation and my
self.”
TO THE TENNESSEE TROOPS.
Below will bo found a letter written by
Gen. Jackson, Jan. 5, 1814:
Headquarters Fort Strothers, Jan.
5. 1814. —To Col. Leland’s Regiment of East
Tennessee Troops: Maj. Gen. Coke has re
ported Ui me that your term of service ex
pires on the 14th instant. I therefore as
sume no elnim upm your services beyond
tliat period. But, although I cannot demand
the further continuation of your services
as a right, I may nevertheless hope to obtain
it when I nppeal to your patriotism. For
what pur]>ose was it that you quittod your
homes and penetrated tho country of the
enemy? Was it not to avenge the blood of
your fellow-citizens, inhumanly slain by
that enemy, to obtain security in future for
our extended and unprotected frontier,
to signalize the valor by which you were
animated? Will any of these objects have
been attained by abandoning the campaign
at the present period? Not one. But an
opportunity shall soon lie afforded you of
attaining them all. If you have really beun
actuated by the feelings and governed by
tho motives which, your commanding Gen
eral presumes, influenced you to take up
arms, none of you tail resist tho appeal nor
hesitate to embrace with eagerness the op
portunity which is about to bo offered you.
The enemy, more than half conquered, but
deriving encouragement and hojxi from the
tardiness of our operations and the distrac
tions which have prevailed in our camp,
are again assembling below us. Another
lesson must be furnished them of awful
admonition. They must again be made to
feel tlie weight of that power which they
have so uuprovokedly incensed to war, and
to know tnat though freemen may lie slow
to take up arms they never finally lay them
down until the objects are attained which
urgoil them to the resort; but an admonitory
lesson is about to lie furnished them. In
less than a week I shall have tlie encamp
ment to meet them. Will any of you ac
company me? Are there not many among
you who, at such a moment as this, would
think it a sacrifice to tile feelings of honor to
tiave them measured by tim computations of
time? What if the period has expired for
which you tendered your services, is this a
consideration for the patriotic sons of Ten
nessee, who came forth to redress the in
jured rights of their country and to acquire
for themselves a name of glory? Is it a con
sideration with you when those objects have
tieen lmattainecf, and when an opportunity
for attaining them is no near at hand? Did
such men enter the field like hireling soldiers
to serve for pay alone ami U feel no further
obligation to their country, themselves and
their families after tho expiration of the
term for which their services were engaged?
Will it b* sufficient gratification to their feel
ings tiiat they served out three months with
out seeing the enemy, and abandoned the
campaign when the enemy was in the nigh
borhoou and oould lie seen and conquered in
ten days. Under such circumstances, can
they hereafter take any pride to themselves
for the sacrifices they have made and the
service they have rendered? Can they here
after hear the very name of the Creek war
at feeling shame and com
punction of heart, and being overspread
with a suffusion of blushes? You say that
you only engaged for three months' service,
and that period being expired, you are not
bound to serve any longer. That is true,
you are not tsiund by tho law to serve any
longer, but are you Ixiund by nothing else?
As honorable and high-minded men, do you
in such an emergency as this feel no other
obligations thou t hose which are imixwed by
the taws? And did you enter the field only
to escape disgrace? Had you not some ob
ject in view —some more positive good to ob
tain? It would he doing you a groat injus
tice to suppose you bail not, and no less in
justice to behove that you will abandon the
field without contributing vour exertions to
attain them. Your General is far from enter
taining either Ur lief Relying upon the mo
tives which governed you in quitting your
homes and upon the determination with
which he presumes you arc still animated,ho
calculates with great confidence that many
of you will remain a short time longer to aid
in the conquest of the Creeks. He asks not
for your services longer than twenty days,
and who, for the benefit of their country
and their home would not with the utmost
cheerfulness submit to such a sacrifice —who
in the present condition of our affairs will
even reckon it as a sacrifice! The present
fort must tie retained and defended when
we set out to meet the enemy, and if any of
you will remain for this purpose for twenty
days afterwards you will render service to
your country no less essential than if you
marehed to the field of battle, and one which
your General will as thankfully accept and
acknowledge. Tuesday next is the day fixed
upon for taking up the line of march, and in
twenty days thereafter he calculates with
great confidence on being able to complete
the object of thdexoursiou and return to this
place. Thus long as patriotic men he would
ask you for your services, and thus long he
entertains no doubt you will cheerfully
afford them. I rejieat that after the 14th
inst. I have no legal claims upon your ser
vices, but for a short time beyond that
period those services, for the reasons men
tioned, will he more needed than ever; and
the commanding Genera! jiorsuades himself
that you will all lie anxious to return to your
homes, not only with the consciousness of
having done your duty, but having done
something more than your duty.
Andrkw Jackson, Major General.

•SMOKE.”
A Touching Story of the Custer Mas
sacre.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean
When you hear this story you will see how
appropriate his narno is. The small, well
built terrier lying there on the Turkish rug,
in a spot of sunlight that brings out the sil
ver in his dark hair beautifully and makes
the parting on his head like a fine lino of
silk. Smoke, old boy, look up. Where did
you come from? Who are you, Smoke? Do
you remember the Captain’s whistle? Ah'
food old fellow, good dog; of course you do!
here now, lie down again and shut your
eyes while I tell the young people your story
and how you got your name.
Gen. Custer hod started forth on that last,
tragic march of his. .Smoke’s mistress, the
wife of Gen. Terry's aid-de-camp, has just
lieen telling me of the strange, siul morning
when she and some other ladies of the
camp stood and watched the line going out.
Tlie sound of the march came in a peculiar,
pitiful, wild music from the Indian scouts
who headed the little army. They were
singing their death song, with which they
always go to battle, anil it must be heard to
be appreciated, so weird and strange and
wild it is, and while the scouts with their
varied colored flags flying, ride by, crooning,
chanting,singing, one can fancy a plain dark
ened by contending enemies, death riding
fiercely and cruelly, victor hero and there,
contending grimly with life on every side.
All you who have read the story know that
Custer and his forces, contrary to first,
arrangements, pushed on and met tin'
Indians at Big Horn—meeting slaughter as
well. The battle, nearly all of whose
records the grave holds in il.s grasp of etor
nnl secrecy, was fought, and two days later
Gen. Terry’s troops, marching down upon
the valley, found only the dead emblems of
the fight. There lay their dead comrade
silent and alone, not ft creature to lie seen t'; > r
or near, hut away in the distancea shad".-
outline marks the vanishing Indian foi
Capt. G , Gen. Terry’s aid-de-camp, w .
one of those who marked the deal and gave
them burial with all the means of identifica
tion imssilile, and it was while he was en
gaged in this sad occupation that looking
up ne beheld near him a small dog—fierce in
expression for a terrier, not supplicating or
wistful exactly, but bright eyed and angry.
The Captain would have caressed the little
creature, but it trotted away. He followed
and was led to one of the Indian tents,
whom, stark and cold lay the dog’s master
—an Indian who had crawled there to die.
It was impossible then to coax the dog
into any show of friendliness, but lute in
the day the Captain saw him again ap
proaching—this time the oyos had lost their
fierceness they wore subdued into some
tiling pitiful and pleading, as disregarding
the other officers, the little dog ran up to
his first, friend and held out, his paw. Then
the Captain discovered that a
cactus thorn had been embedded
in it,, and the dog, with quick
instinct, had sought him to procure relief.
The thorn and all the prejudices were re
moved together. There was no further
question of conciliation. The Captain
adopted the dog then and there arid sent
him home to his wif6, who, because of the
fires ho had come out of on the field of bat
tle, christened him “Hmoke.”
Bo yon see Smoke is a sort of hero now in
his Westem home, and is enjoying an old
age of comfort and honor, although the de
tails of Ids career before that day of battle
can never be known. He is a pure blooded
Scotch terrier, quick, alert and sagacious,
with one peculiarity. Nothing will induce
him to make friends with strangers. Loyal
and devoted to his mistress ana her imme
diate family—dignified and tolerant of out
siders, yet he is under no circumstances to
tie beguiled into demonstrations of any sort
away from home, and at the suggestion
oven of a caress from a stranger’s hand
will rise from his reeumlient posture, give
himself a little shake, and in the most dig
nified manner stalk away, leaving you witli
a sense of your own impertinence In having
attempted'anything like intimacy with so
exclusive a canine sovereign Do you hear
all this. Smoke, old boy? Ah I there, you
are realty enough to get up and wag your
old tail and run to the window, for liorotha
nnd Margarette are calling to you. Doro
tha’s eyes are eager, her littlo golden rings
of hair (lancing in the breeze, and I am sure
Smoke realizes that she, too, is a “Child of
of the Regiment."

A Philadelphia dispatch to the New York
Star says: Chief of Detectives Kelly was
startled from his reveries the other morning,
while seated in his private room, by the en
trance of a female in male attire. She was
got up in the latest style. A high, glossy
silk hut adorned her head, a fine gray heavy
overcoat of the true masculine cut covered
her body, while upon her feet she wore, as
Chief Kelly termed them, regular Yankee
toed shoes. In her hands she carried a silk
umbrella with u . fancy oxydized
head. It was Dr. Mary Walker,
and she wanted a private inter
view, which the official could not escajie ac
cording her. To the chief, without much
ado, she made known the purpose of her
visit. She Haid she wanted assistance, and
she knew that she could liest obtain it
through the detectives. Then she went on
to say that some time ago she noticed a
iMU-agraph in a Chicago paper purjiortingto
be a dispatch from New Orleans, which set
forth that a man named Charles 11. Walker
had died in the last-named city, bequeath
ing ti'i.OOO to Matw Walker.
• Years ago,” she said to Chief Kelly,
“while living at Oswego, N. Y., I there
knew a man of that name. I was then
alsait graduating, and he took a great in
terest in me. It is for that reason that I
think it must be the same man. I have
written to the Chicago pu|>ors, but I can
get no reply. I have also written to the
Pr iliate Court at New Orleans, but the an
swer I received from there Ido not like. It
is all written in one luuid, and the language
is slangy. The writer says, among other
things:’ ‘Somebody has been giving you
taffy. 1 Then it is signed ‘Jules Verne, Clerk
of Probate Court.’ I don’t like that.”
The officer promised to aid her in every
possible way, and she retired after bestow •

desk.
