A PERILoUs TRIp.-The Milwaukee
Sentinel says shortly after noon On the lst,
during the height of terrible N. f. gale
which rendered the day 80 unpleasant,
many of its citizens were surprised at the
appearing of propeller in the offing, head
ing for the harbor. Though often hidden
from view by the huge waves which were
rolling between her and the shore, she
made rapid progress, and at 2 o'clock
steamed into tho harbor and up to her
dock in gallant style. The venturesome
craft proved to be the City of Fremont of
the D. & NJ. liae, commanded by Captain
McHenry, formerly of tho steamer Sea
Bird. The Fremont left Grand Haven at
II o'clock Thursday night and was for
fourteen long hours exposed to the fury of
one Of the most severe mid-wintcr storms
ever experienced. She weathered it nobly,
however, and proved herself to be one of
the best sea boats ahoat on the lakes. She
is on record as the first arrival for the sea-
son of 1869.

The smallpox, which now afi,cts us, not

Naturalization.

The New York Sun gives the following
answer to these questions touching natur>
aiizasiou.
lss. Does tho minor son Of q naturalized
citizen On attaining ajority become citI-
zen without any legal form of or going be-
fore the courts Please cite the constitu-
tional statute provisions which cover the
case.
I'd. Is an alien who has served in the q.
s. army during the war OF the rebellion and
been houorabiy discharged therefrom cit
izen without further form or procedure be-
fore the courts 2 What legal provisions
apply to the case?
/. The minor children Of persons natur
allied, if the children are then dwelling in
the United States, becomes citizens by the
naturalization of the parent. 1t was for
merly questioned whether the latter pro-
vision applied except to the children of
parents naturalized before the passage Of
the act of 1862, The point came up tor de.
cision in the Court Chancery OF this state
in 1910, in case of children who were mi
nors, living with their father In Tins coun-
try, when the father was naturallzed 10
1920, and whose right to succeed to his es
tate was denied on the assumption that
they were aliens. Chancellor Walworth
decided that they were not aliens, but be-
came citizens by the naturalization OF their
father in 1880, Judge Daily decided to
the same eifec. in the New York Common
Pleas in lS47. The point was again raised
in Arkansas in 1850, as to the right of one
Peck, son of CT tizen naturalized during
his minority to hold the office of Sheriff,
and decided in his favor. The act OF cons
gress of Feb. 10, 1854, went further, and
decided the naturalization OF the husband,
made his alien wife citizen capable of
holding, inheriting, selling or bequeathing
real estate.
IL. Congress passed an act, we believe
in 1862. making aliens what enlisted IN the
army and were honorabiy discharged, cltI-
zens without formahty of declaring their
intentions, or residing here during the cns~
tomary five years. For all purposes ex>
ceps voting person who can show that he
has served his country in the army and
been honorably discharged, is a Citizen
lie can hold and dispose OF real estate, and
perform other acts OF citizenship. But to
acquire the privilege OF voting, he must 30
before a Court of Record, show his honor
able discharge, and receive the certificate
Of naturalization. Then he can vote.

Quite recently a business man who could
talk horse very learnediy, and who thought
he was very well informed on tho subject
OF horse flesh swapred small white for =
fine cream colored horse, by paying such
boot as he thought gave him "a real
bargain" Shortly afterward he met mau
with beautiful glossy, coal black horse,
who was willing TO swap for the cream for
an amount of boot named Our business
man accepted the offer very readily, paid
the required boot and took possession of
the coal black Very soon however, the
coal>back began to grow rusty, and in spite
of great care in currying aud washing, the
rust tint increased in rustiness when. upon
making "a scientific examination" the
glossy coal black was found to have been
simply another manifestation ofthe remark

fine art of hair dyeing AMI especially horses

Our TAX LAws.-The Green Bay Ad>
uocate wants the present time of collecting
taxes changed to about September, ard
gives the following good reasons therefor ::
ct is fact which must have struck
many as unfortunate, that the taxes are
collected at the very season OF the year
when all expenses are the highest. There
is the wood to buy, and the winter clothing,
no small items for anybody, aud particular
ly for those of small means. Business men
are preparing their January balances and
collecting up accounts the banks are con-
tracing and drawing in their loans prepar-
atory to the January (quaterly) reports !;
and Lumber dealers have not yet commenc-
ed to make their advances to manufacturers
for.the coming seasons work. The days
are short and many laborers and mechanics
out of employment. There are also many
other extra pulls at the individual and
family purse at this time in the year, which
it is needless to mention as everybody feels
them. Then, to crowd all, the taxes are to
pay"

From tho Far " est.

st. Louis, Jan. 2.
Gen. Sherman has received letter from
Gen. Sheridan, dated Fort Cobb, Dec. 10,
noting his arrival at that post the day pre-
vious, With Gen. Custar's Seventh cavalry
and ten companies of the Nineteenth Kan
sas cavalry; in all about l., 800 men.
Gen. Sheridan spent one day on Gen.
Custar's battle field, and found the bodies
of Major Elliot aud sixteen soldiers also
the bodies of Mrs. Blonde and children,
white captives III the Indian camp. She
had been shot through the forehead, and
the children braius dashed out against a
tree.
Gen. Sheridan followed On the Indian
trail down the Washita seventy six miles,
when lie came TO camp Of kiowas, who
met him with letter from Gen. Hazen
who declared them friendly. Sheridan re-
CURED tho Indians to accompany him to
Fort Cobb, but discovered while travelling
towards that point that they were sending
their families to the Washita Mountains.
Suspecting that they were attempting to
deceive him, he took Salouta and Lone
Wolf aud notified them that be would hold
them as hostages, and that it all the Mo
was did not come to Fort Cobb 40 would
hang them.
Sheridan says that the Indians now real
ize that winter will not compel the United
States to make truce with them, an0
adds that the Kiowas have been in war all
the time, and have been playing fast and
loose. They have attempted to browbeat
Hazen since they came to Fort Cobb, but
will take the starch out OF them before l
leave.
The Cheyennes, Araphoes, and one band
Of Camanches, with Fifty lodges of Kiowas,
are now ct " oshita Mountains.
Sherman, after consultation with Hazcn,
proposed when the Kiowas come in to pun
ish those who have been concerned in per-
sonaI acts of murder. He will send Black
Kettles sister to the Cheyenne5 and Ara
phoes, and command them to come in and
submit to like treatment. Ii they refuse
to come in be will carry on the war against
them in the Washita Mountains. lie viii!
leave with,Gen Hazon enough forces to en-
able them to control the Ind NJ 8 Fort
Cobb, and such others as may come in
there.
During the march from Camp Supply
the weather and snow was very severe.
The health of the command was good
only two men Of the Seventh Cavalry, and
six Of the Nineteeth Kansas being sick.
In private letter 10 General Sherman,
dated one day later, General Sheridan says
that the kioWas are coming In : that the
Cheyenncs have been very humble since
their punishment by General Custar, and
he has no doubt that the Aiaphns will also
come in and surrender and abide by his
terms, after which he has no fear of the re-
neWing Of hostlItieS.
