Even in Arkansas, where everybody is said to
carry knife of this sort, nobody would show
one. Albert Pike told mo TINT he once visited
Wilson, the Speaker who killed Anthony at his
sas. He said that Wilson lived some
where in tho Washita River, and
that at the dinner-table, ho carved tho pig with
bowie-knife. "And,'' said Pike, I wns in
condition of stomachic distress because I
thought it might be the same knife with Which
he cut out Anthony's bowels"
In New Orleans, there id said to bo one man

although it atonea for its wholly masculine
character by the redundancy Of pictures OF fe~
/ males hanging on the wills.
