Gen. Mckenzie,

Gen. Ronald S. Mckenzie, who has
been brought into great prominence,
within a brief time, by his raid into
Mexican territory and punishment of
the Kickapoo Indians is a son of Com
modore Mckenzie, who, in 1913, hung
to the yard-arm of his ship, for mutiny,
Midshipman Spencer, a son of the then
Secretary of War under President Tyler
John G. Spencer. The name of Com
modore Mckenzie was originally Alex
ander Slidell, he having changed it at
the request of relative in order to in
herit some property. He was native
of New York, and brother of John Sill
of Louisiana and Mason and Slidell
fame, captured on the high sea by Com
modore Wilkes while proceeding to
France as Minister of the Southern Con-
federacy.ss Gen. Mckenzie graduated
from West Point at the head of his class
in 1862, and took up arms in the Union
cause as Second Lieutenant of Engineers.
Step by step he won his way to higher
position, until, near the close of the
struggle, he was made full Brigadier-
General, with the brevet rank of Major
General. He now holds rank in the
regular army as Colonel, and commands
the 4th cavalry. He has been stationed
in Texas for several years, and during
that time has done good service against
the redskins. sfsHa s.f .. s.

A French Lear.

A French paper relates the suferings
and revenge of a foolish fond old
man" who was driven to despair and
madness by the ungrateful conduct of
his children. This Lear in humble life
having by anticipation divided his pro-
perry among his children on the under
standing that hewas to be supported by
them, found himself after time ill-fed,
ill-lodged, and ill-received, and resolved
to revenge himself. Accordingly, TAX
ing advantage of the temporary absence
of his son from home, he set fire to the
house and hung himself to beam in
the stable. The son, on his return, saw
flames. issuing from the stable, rushed
in, and caught sight OF his father hang
ing by the neck. To cut him down with
sickle was the work of moment the
aged man was still unhurt, but no
change had taken place in his resolves,

Capt, Jack erviewed-POrSOnnel of
the Savage Leaders.

GTule Lake June s. Cor. San Francisco Bulletin.l
By permission of the officer of the
guard, [ had an interview with Jack
through the medium of an interpreter.
At first he was reticent. In fact, he did
not deign to notice me. His sister Mary
interceded in my behalf and persuaded
Jack to talk His remark was in rela-
ton to the shackles. He said it made
him feel mean to be habited like horse.
He was not afraid to die, and had no
idea of running away. AS he spoke his
eyes snapped, and he looked a very lion
in rage. All questions pertaining to his
fight he declined to answer. When
asked his age, he gave me to understand
that he was SO. He then voluntarily
started upon statement of his griev-
ances against his race at the time of the
Ben Wright affair He said that the
white men murdered Indians years ago,
and that what he did was only paying
old debts He did not enter into details,
but left the interpreter, Scar-Faced
Charley, to patch up the story.
A critical study of Jacks face cor
roborates the impressions received at
first sight. He is a thorough Indian.
His head is large, quite square, and for
the present sets firmly ON his shoulders.
His eyes are black and bright, his face
broad, with prominent cheek bones.
His nose is symmetrical and slightly
aquiline. His lips are thin and clean
cut, and, combined with his chin, indi-
Gates that resoluteness of purpose that
has won for him such a remarkable
notoriety. His complexion is dark, and
his face has pleasant look. Take him
all in all, he is striking man. Place
him among thousands, and he would be
taken for a chief by any observing
stranger Those who have seen him
marvel not that he is leader of the
Modocs. Though in chains and on the
brink of eternity, he is yet feared and
respected by the Indians about him.
His nearest companions in chains,
Sconchin, is so years of age, and
wrinkled, and has the villain depicted in
every line of his face. He wears his
hair short, and stands about five feet
nine in his moccasins.
Boston Charley is about 25 years old.
His face is expressionless. He, Nose
and Sam are very ordinary looking In
dams. Jack would attempt to escape il
he had a chance, even at the risk OF
being shot down. Probably he never
realized that death was inevitable until
the irons were placed upon his feet

This is an irritation or inflammation of the
bronchial tubes which carry the air we breathe
into the lungs. 1t arises from a cold settled
in the throat. from Catarrh extending to these
parts, from scrofulous affections, and from
severe use of the voice. The irritation from
this latter cause commences in the lary,ar and
CLOTHS, which are the organs of the voice, and,
extending downwards, produces hcarseness,
coughing, and splitting mucous matter, some
times mixed with blood. 1t is chiefly danger
GUS from its tendency to spread into the lungs,
and terminate in consumption. 1t is in the
cure of severe and obstinate cases of this dis
ease that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has achieved unparalleled success. and won the
loudest praise from all who have used it. 1t

EDITORIAL NOTICES are SO common
that it is almost impossible for an editor
to express his honest opinion of the
merits of any article without being sus-
pected of interested motives. This fact,
however, shall not deter us from saying

Materia Medica to which our attention
has been recently directed. We refer to

BTTTERs, a remedy which is making its
way into more families Just now than all
the other advertised medicines put to-
gether. Its popularity, as far as we can
judge, is not based on empty pretension.
There seems to be no question about
the potency of its tonic and Alternative
properties, while it possesses the great
negative recommendation of containing
neither alcohol nor mineral poison.
That it is a specific for Indigestion,
Biliousness, Constipation, and many
complaints of nervous origin, we have
reason to know; and we are assured, on
good authority, that as a general invig-

its ingredients obtained from the wilds

Robbed of Health.

The richest of us is poor indeed. The summer,
pleasant and enjoyable it is, is very apt to lay
open to this kind of depreciation, The high
temperature weakens the body and impairs its
vitality, and as the strength and energy of the
system decline, disease following in the trail of
debility, obtains a foothold somewhere in the
frame, in tie stomach, perhaps the liver, or the
head or the bowels, the nerves. In summer,
therefore, it is OF great Importance to keep the
body strong and all it's functions in healthy aciv-
ity. To promote, or rather to insure this condi-
ton of the human machine, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters the standard tonic of the age, is the one
thing neejful AS wholesome invigorant it
stands at the head of all medicines of the class to
which it belongs. Bit this is only one Of its many
valuable properties. Its mild and painless cathar
tic action its antibiious properties and the GER
tanty with which it eliminates from the blood and
other animal fluids all acrid matter that tends to
produce foster disease, almost entitle this
derful preventive and curative, to the much
abused appellation, universal medicine. 1t is so
harmless that the most delicate female invalid
may take it with safety yet so powerful that no
indigestion, of chronic constipation, no
type of intermittent fever resist its sanitary
operation.

Discovering the Theft.

Nick Bowers was member of the original
Christy Minstrels, and, in his day, was the
greatest ''midde man and interrogator''
known in his profession. Nick used to tell
with great merriment, an incident of his boy
hood. To preserve the flavor Of the relation,
we will record it in Nick's own language,
and only regret that we cannot accompany it

Professor Faraday has given ii as his opin-
ion that all who die before they are hun
dred years old may be justly charged with
self-murdcr: that Providence, having orig
nally intended man TO live a century, would
allow him to do so if he did not kill himself
by eating unwholesomc food, allowing him
self to be annoyed by trihes, giving license to
passion and exposing himself to accident.
The French savant Flourin advanced the
theory that the duration of life is measured
by the time of growth. When the bones
epiphysis are united the body grows no more,
and it is at twenty years that this union is
effected in man. The natural termination of
life is five removes from the several points.
Man, being twenty years in growing, lives,
or should live, five times twenty years. the
five canal is eight years in growing, and lives
times eight years; the horse is five years in
growing, and lives twenty-five years; and SO
on with other animals.

Destruction OF the lofrsapln rover
The Niagara Falls Gazette thus notices the
destruction of Terrapin Tower, long one of
the most conspicuous objects around the
Falls: "During the past nifty years millions
of people from every inhabitable part OF the
globe have seen the round, weather-beaten
tower, built upon the narrow ledge of rocks
upon the extreme brink of the Horseshoe
Fall, and have en- Dyed from its summit the
tumutuous rapids above and the mighty rush
of waters below. They will learn with sim
cere regret that the venerable mass of ma
sonry has been destroyed. The tower was
built in 1923, by Judge Porter, was forty-five
feet in height and twelve feet in diameter at
its base. The masonry was massive, and its
hardness and durability many have thought
to have been abundantly demonstrated. But
standing in such An extremely exposed posi-
ton, subject at all times to the action OF the
spray and the fierce beating winds, and in
the winter months ice-bound and frost-bitten,

Welding to the elements and the structure
was pronounced unsafe last fall, and has
been closed to the public ever since. Last
week preparations were made to remove the
concern in order to make room for new
iron tower. Large issures were found to
have opened in the masonry, and the mast in
the centre of the pile was found to be only
q mere shell, the core having almost disap-
peared from dry rot. The first attempt to
blow up the tower was made Saturday noon,
but proved abortivc-the twenty-five pounds
of powder buried in the base of the structure
only serving to demolsh q portion of the
southwestern side. The ruins were subse-
qucntly mined and the work of demolition
completed on Monday, June 3D."

ssFAu OF Man,,

How it strikes the Danbury Ncsrs man, is
appended: You are generally looking at
something very intently when it happens
perhaps you are smiling to yourself. Then
your left foot shoots out to one side with q
suddenness that creates q sickness in tie
family. Ice commences to form on your
spine and perspiration on your brow, and
your scalp risessenough to permit streak of
air to pass under The other leg goes out at
this juncture, your head snaps Violently to
the front, and there is faint impression on
your mind that the world is about to come to
an end with nobody in charge. Miles of
sidewalk spin out fsom you like lightning.
People disappear suddenly, with appalling
mystery. Then your eyes close, your con.
sciousness wanes, and your soul goes out
without one expiring quiver, snd-and Won
arrive. The hard reality of the scene is then
forced upon you with unpleasant abruptness.
Everything is in its place but your spine.
You get up and move off with sickly attempt
at smile, feeling at the time that the back
of your head is laughing from ear to ear, and
find that the hardest thing is, not the side
walk, but to keep from rubbing yourself
