Wishes to Return it- Other Note*.
The signs of the polities! zodiac arc hopeful
For twenty*five year* they have been in tbo
head and neck of tbo republican party. Ariel
the ram and Tauru* tbo bull have been
butting around generally. Tbo bull toned us
up and when we struck the ground and
tried to rite again to a perpendicular, tbo old
ram took ui from behind and we never bad
any chance to get up at all. But we
have got up at la??t and whipped tbe fight,
and the signs ore now in the republican
knees* Capricornua, the goat, ii down OQ^hii
marrow bones. Ho wags his beard and shakes
his horns, but that's all. And now the stars
are moving serenely In the hoavenly belt,and
the signs are workiug up the heart and tho
breast* Tbe lion will soon rule the roost, a
noble beast???the king of beasts???and there
will be peace in the land. The signs are work
iug up, I know, for to-day Mrs.
Arp received a letter from
a union soldier in Pennsylvania,
telling her that he had her album that was
taken from our houso twenty years ago, and
carried away as a trophy, and he wants to
return it. That is a good sign. Tbe spirit of
restitution ii at work, and before long maybe
all our valuables will be scut homo' with in
terest and back pay. Anno Domini and dom*
erratic principles will tell. When
Mrs. Arp read the letter* she
looked away off dreamily and said,
??????Well, he writes like a gentleman. It is a
pretty letter and 1 reckon ito must be a gen
tleman," and then, aftor a pause, she contin
ued; "But what mndo him keep it so long?"
That album was her maiden treasure, for it
had sweet words from her schoolmates, and
sweeter ones from her lovers, and she has often
wondered what anybody wanted with It. We
vacated our home in the night, away in the
night, at the timo when deop sleep falfctb up
on man and all of Mrs.Arw???s literary treasures
were hastily bundled together for transporta
tion mid were left???loft in the drawer of her
beautiful sewing table. Thero wero all the
letters from loved ones dead, and loved ones
living, and some promising on*** from me, for
I promised her everything before I got her.
All tbe men do that I reckon, but how many
keep them nobody knows but tbo re
cording angel. Then thero warn
all tho letters I wrote her from tho
army???letters that 1 wrote with thoughtful
care???for they wero to refresh memory in
coming years. They wero notes of bottles
and marches and retreats, and of tho killed
and uounded whom our people knew and
loved???notes of winter life in camp and night
alarms nud daily trials and surprises. 1 had
hoped to compile from them something that
would do to priut in after years, but they to?
aro gone. The album will be welcome when
it conies, and wo will thank tho gentleman for
his kindness. Our boys kept something* too that
they captured???soma trophies from the dead
tbat would bo door to tho living if we knew
them. War Is an awful thing, and whenever
I feel like complaining of bad luck or unex
pected trouble It is always n comfort to remem
ber that it is not so bad as war. It will be a
glorious era when the sword Is really put upon
the nuvil and made into a plowshare.
I had a letter yesterday, another letter that
gives a sign, a token of good will. It came
from Boston and from a stranger, who says ho
read* Tuk Cunstiti tiom weekly, and trial to
keep .posted on national politics, and
1 quote from his letter, ver
batim, as follows? "I think your letter of tho

BRAVE ELLA REED.
How a Brave. Western Olrl Defended Her
Father's Home.
From the Rocky Mountain News.
Heed's ranch did not diflet' materially from
hundreds of others in Colorado. The same
straggling, one storied structure, perfectly in
nocent of paint, with outbuildings looking as
If they were ready to tumble down. Tho fam
ily consisted, at tho time of this story, of Joe
Beed, the proprietor, his wife nnd two chil
dren. Kill, the eldest, was a rather pretty
girl of eighteen, who for several years had re
lieved tbe tired mother of muck of tbo burden
of the bouse work, attended tolbedutiesoftbo
dairy, nnd was a good horsewoman withal, of-
t??-n accompanying her father in rough rides
of mllea when looking for atray cattle.
Oncea week Mr. freed went to Denver to
and tho two women thought nothing of being
left alone in the hour* until long Into the
night, as the distance to the city made the
drive a long one. It wns on one of these even
ing* in the early fall, jostujhey had comple
ted their nipper uud tho mother was arrang
ing the table for the hungry father and son,
tbat tbe younger woman went to tho barn, tho
back of which was immediately on the road,
to see a calf that was sick.
Suddenly she heard the voices of men in tbe
read near the bTTrfi. Listening and scarcely
daring to breathe, she heard the
words tbat
almost froze h<r with terror.
"Tho old man keep* his money box in tho
drawer of tho old bureau, but tlio old
woman carries tho key."
"How caw we get at it?" asked another
voice.
"We can bind both women, and if they
make any noise, we cun atop that." For n
moment tho terrified listener was fairly niral-
zed with fear; then, she started up, and run
ning quickly round to Die back of the houso
nnd crawling through nn open window, wont
to a close t nnd took from it two revolvers,
which wete always kept leaded for cmir-
Jfnslily rejoining her mother in the larger
room, she was just in timo to see two burly
looking ruffians enter by tho dour. Tho tailor
of the two men demanded supper, "and let it
come quickly, too," ho -??aid, in a menacing
tone. The brave girl placed the food on the
table, knowing that the scoundrols would ant-
li/y their hunger before putting their purpose
of robbery, nnd possibly murder, into execu
tion. Khe then sat down in front of thorn and
watched them. Tho moment their meal was
tuple ted, she suddenly thrust tho muV.zle?
of the pistole in their faces, threatening to
ihoot if they moved.
Expostulations ond protestations wero iu
vain: tho heroic girl stood there with eyes
flashing and determined, for what to nor
seemed ages. Tho jkkit mother, os soon nssho
comprehended tho situation, overcome by her
rest terror, had fainted and was lying on tho
lour.
At lost the sound of wagon wheels was heard
coming toward the bouao, and in a moment
the father ond brothor entered the houso in
company with nn uncle who hud nrrivod In
Denver that day front their old eastern homo
in Pennsylvania, end by tho merest ocoidont
met Mr. Reed ??n Sixteenth street, in Denver.
As soon as they comprehended the situation
they compelled the ruffians with revolvers at
iclr heads tn submit t> being bound with
>nes, nnd when daylight came they were
ikon to the couuty sent anti placed in jail.
Tbo brave girl, ns soon ns she was relieved
cm her terrible guard duty, and tbe horrible
straiu ou her nerves was taken off, wont into
a succession of hysterical spasms, and It was
for weeks that her reason it not her life, was
despaired of. She eventually recovered, how
ever, and afterwards married a wealthy Den
ver gtntleman, and is now liviug in Queen
(Tty. Tho two men wero recognised as old
offenders, iu fact they were fugitives from jus
tice from a distant county, and afterwards
served a long timo in Dm penitentiary in
Canon City.

???he tried to git satisfaction <>ut'a his poor littlo
chile. It looks curis how any humant could
be so mean, but thcr ???pears to bo plonty of
folks with that sort or in???ardness.
Jane's money all gin out, she couldn???t fit
hack to hor mammy and chilluu and sno
( didn???t kuow what to ds. She tried from house
to touoe to biro to do anything but folks all
bad soma body hired or was a doing of ther
own turns one or tothor nnd them tbat didn't,
wanted n nigger, A young married man hap-
I tucd to bo a huutin??? for a nuss for his baby;
io was tired of triflin'niggers, aud wanted a
settled white 'oman that would tend to tho
baby nights and, Sundays, so when ho met
Jano Grubbs a lookin??? for a place ho hired
her. They didn't have hut one, a little gal
named Leonora about the age ot Jane???s, and it
wasn't long tel Jano tuck up a notion it favor
ed hor???n aud sho would sot ami hug it for
hours amtyvhtspcr to it and call it Bugarcsuc,
Sho uever breathed the namo of Sugar cane
aloud and never told ???em one word aboat hor
|??o??? dead baby. They aced her cry a heap of
times, but never knowed what it meant. She
would tay awake at night ami wonder and
plun how sho could slip otF with Leonora and
not be eotch up with. She was so good to the
baby that they wouldn???t cr gin her up for no
nigger they ever seed, and m c.ue ft never
como into ther mines that Jane wanted to
steal tho chile.
Jane wanted to see her own chillun moa
strous hod and wanted to co home, but ever
day it got harder and harder for her to leave
Leonora. Tho chile wern???t no more like
hcr'u than chalk wot Uke cheese, but tha no
tion growed stronger and strongor la hor hc??d
every day tel she loved her ckfe to her own,
and relt putty nigh ilka her own little .Sugar

S ravo. The folks thought a power of Jane
ate sbe was to good to ther baby, and they
wasn???t nfeanf??leave her with it by her se*.
They went out one day and left her with the
chile by hersef and Jan.' she thought it was a
good time to steal it. She gathered up all its lit
tlo clothes and got most ready when the hcarn
???em n cornin??? and stopt. That night ebe
waked up in the night and thought about it
???gin, then her own little baby???s face ris up
???loro her ami ???jkeared to tell her not to do it,
tbat if she tuek It out at night it nought take
a cold aud die too. Then it pestered her when
the thought about how it would break its po*
maw???s heart to snatch away all tbe chile she
had, and so the crone back to bed. Time
knocked along and tne yalier fever broke oat.
it spread monstrous fast. Folks was a dyin???
ever hour in the day and night, and they tried
to bury ???em fast as they died to keep
idln??? any more. Waggins went
???oman off. It seemed so quick that Jane won
dered if she could rail/ oe cold dead. Tbi
???oman that was a waitin??? on ???em had to go to
some of her own kin tbat bed tuck the lover,
and so a stranger a white man come to wait on
tbo baby???s paw. Poor man he didn???t know
that his wife was dead and ken a sxin 'for her
and his baby. He como to his sef and got bo???.-
tcr and when Jane went in ti sec now he
come on, he was by his sef and ho told her
that ho bad dreamp his wife and baby was
both dead. Jane she didn't want to tell him
his wife was dead so she slipt out easy
never *nid nothin???. Sho looked back and
that he had shot his eyes nnd went back to
???Jeep. When she got out sho thought to her
sof, "Ho thinks they nro both dead, and he
shant never know no better." She weut to
Die kitchen wbar the man waa a fixin??? some
soup for hirn to eat and told him that sho
couldn???t stay no longer sbe bad to go. Then
sl.e told him that tho man was a axin??? for his
wife end baby aud had done dreamp they
both dead. You sea this man had jist corue
thar that day and hadn???t seed tho baby and
didn???t know nothin??? about none of ???em and
Jane knowed she could slip ofT with it and he
wouldn???t know nothin??? about it, so she 'lowed:
"Poor man sump???n have done tole him in hit

I have jist come from in thar and he is asleep,
but when he wakes up and come to bis sef and
his wife and
he will, why you ken jist tell him all about it,
tell him ho dreamp right, and that they was
