The letters and devices on the nniform were so strange that I asked the policeman what meant, and he told me they were the usual insignia of the New Orleans police. I asked him what he was doing in Chicago, and he said he wasn’t in Chicago, he wa in New Orleans. “It was some time before he could con vince me of that. I realized then *liat i must have wandered off in a daze, and 1 found out the day and date. Then I recol lected that I had’a friend in New Orleans named Joseph Otearie, whom I had met several years before. 1 found a dir. norl and hunted u], his address. When 1 went into his office there was an old friend there from Chicago. Thomas WalL-pr. wlm l,nd told Otearie about inv disappearance and probable death. They both started up and turned pale when they saw me, us it i were a ghost. When t convinced them that I was in the flesh they took me to a hotel and called in physicians. The next day Mr. Walker started for Chicago. I arrived here yesterday. “When I started from my Chicago so>re sealskin cap. In New Orleans 1 found my self wearing a new silk hat with the stamp of a Baltimore hatter in it. I haven’t the vaguest idea in the world where I got it. There was also in one of my pockets the card of the Everett House, Jacksonville, Fla. Whether I was in Baltimore and Jacksonville I know no more than you do, I found that I had slept the night before at the Phillips House, in New Orleans, but I don’t remember it now. When I reached TWO 8CENKS IN CONTRAST. Among these were Zeb Vance and Joe Brown, new members of tho United States Senate; Gov. Letcher, of Virginia; Dennis Mahoney and other Knights of the Golden Circle; lion Wood, John T. Ford, Junius Brutus Booth, Wirt and Belle Boyd, the "rebel spy.” During these five years three men were hanged in the court yard bnck of the old capitol prison, and two others, deserters, were shot. Among the former was Henry Wire, “the monster of Andersonville. Wirz was executed on the other side of the building from that where the inaugura tions of Madison and Adams took place forty years earlier and within 100 feet of the spot. I met to-day a man who was confined in the old capitol prison at that time, Gen. Van If. Manning, ex-Congrcssman. now a lawyer in this city. During all the war, up to being shot through the bins in the battle of the Wilderness, lie led fifteen com- n.iuics of Arkansas soldiers*. While in hospital, after his capture, he resented what he considered an assault from the surgeon and was sent on crutches to the old capitol ns n punishment. “I didn’t linve a very bad time In tho J| lp old capitol,’’ ho said to me, “for. friends ., ’ I were good and Col.

Sbosiione Indinns DUpofic of an Old Squaw by lluriiiiiR Her to Death. From the Cheyenne Sun. A horrible crime and one of the most din. bolical ever committed in Wyoming, occurred last week in the northwestern portion of the Territory, not many miles from Fort Washa kie, and on the Shoshone reservation. An Indian woman, who was probably regarded as a burden by the balance of her band, was unfortunate enough to meet with an accident whereby she sustained a fracture of one of her limbs. The bucks, who Appear to have everything their own way, counelled to gether ami came to the conclusion that the best thing to do with the poor old woman was to put her to death. In pursuance of this plan, after divesting her of every garment that could protect her from the cold, they drove stakes in the ground and tied her to them, and left her to freexe to death. At the expiration of two days and nights both of her arms were frozen solid, but she was not dead. Concluding that some more expeditious wav matt be adopted, they gathered a lot of ofd blankets, them on fire. The result of this terrible torture was tlmt her body was so badly burned that the inner organs were left exposed. They then let the fire go out and left ner again to frebze. At the expiration of twenty-four hours death nt last came to her relief. The affair has been reported to the Indian agent, and it would seem that if ever the per* petrntors of a horrible crime would he visit ed with condign and relentless punishment, the actors in this horrible drama are the ones —and, if in meting out justice vengeance taxes ctats the ibajorit fcwg t—v..

The action taken by the loealassembhes of the Knights of Labor in 1 hiladclphm, last night, endorsing the onto °I «• Reading convention for a general strike ol Reading railroad employes, did not ma terially aflhet the bnauwa ol the Reading company. The men did not quit work with till" alacrity which the lendersi an ticipated, and in many cases they refused point-blank to strike preferring to renounce their allegiance to the Knights of Labor.
