CAPTAIN JACK.
Probably Son Of Former Citizen 0y
Franklin County. Kontucky.
[Fron the Kentucky Yeosaan. j

L
1t is at this time currently reported in this
community, and by many believed. that
Captain Jack. the celebrated ,doc Chi.f,
is the son of Capt. Jack Chambers, a native,
and formerly we'll known citizen Of tine
western part of this county. In support of
this belief, the following f cts are given:
About the year 1906, party of emigrants,
s,s.h-. m Of citizens OF Franklin eoanly and
other parts ot Kentucky, went 70 California
on a fortune seeking expedition. With this
party went Capt Jack Chambers, a bold,
daring man. who, though fuil-blooded
white man, possessed many OF the character
istics, physical as we'll mental and moral, OF
an Indian brave. On reaching California,
the party gradually broke up and scattered,
but it was well known and SO reported by
all those who subsequently returned to ken
tucky. that Capt. Jack Chambers fell iii with
the Modoc Indians, married the daughter OF
their head Chief, at whose death he (Capt.
Chambers succeeded to the Chieftlanship by
election, and so continued to .she day of his
death only few years ago. 1t is also said
that, after living with the Modocs some
years, he Uecdiue 20 MuCu iihc luc ICsG VI tuo
warriors of that tribe. both in speech and
general physique, that the closest observer
never suspected that he was other than ssa
fnll-blooded Indian. Besides, the Captain
himself favored the delusisn, and hence it is
that we see it stated i'll all the sketches OF
Capt. Jack" the present Moduc Chief, that
he is the son of a full -bioodcd Chief Of that
tribe. In fact, this was the general belief OF
all the Indian traders and agents VINO eyer
came in contact with the tribe.
At the time OF his joining the Modocs,
Captain Jack Chambers Was between rhirty-
five or forty years of age. Previous to his
emigration to California, however, he had
volunteered in the war for the independence
OF Texas, where he distinguished himself as
brave soldier and a capital officer. 1t is an
Interesting and remarkable fact in his per-
sonal history, that he was one of family OF
twenty-four children--twenty-one sous and
three daughters-all of whom grew TO ma
turity, most of whom are still living, and
nearly all of whom were remarkable for
physical qualities, closely resembling those
of the higher types OF the Amirican lndians-

A young man in a Western town, who had
been married less than year, was seen
upon the streets the other day trying TO
swap a handsomely colored meerchaum pipe
for second hand cradle. There was a row
OF some sort at his house, but we have never
been able to find out what it was.

The PHILOSOPHY OF DEATH.-According
to the Spiritualists and mediums, clairyoyants
and sers: all agree very closely in the de-
scriptions they give to the natural process
called death. The vital forces first quit the
feet and lower cxtremities of the body, and
those who have the power of spirit vision see
a luminous haze slowly forming above the
head, and connecting with it by shining
corp. Gradually, as the vitality of the body
the cloud above assumes dis
tinct shape, and the spirit form the departing
individual is seen lying i'll state of insensi-
bility above the PROSTATE body. At last the
spirit awakes to consciousness. the silver
cord still connecting it with the body is
severed, and the newborn spirit quits the
house in company with spirit friends ahd rel
a tives who awaited his arrival. The spirit
friends are often seen before life has entirely
quilted the body, which is the reason why
the dying so often talked Of seeing departed
friends around the bed.

The COTTON MARKET. In the cotton
market, speculative movement is in
progress which, it is predicted by some,
will cn!minate in ''corner." First, the
crop last year was about 2, 900, 600 bales.
The crop this year will probably amount
to nearly 1000, 900 bales. Second, there
is large short interest for the months
OF July and August, while of the stcck
OF 10000 bales in hand, very little will
deliver on contract, owing to the fact
that it consists of tho low grades. OF
this knowledge. the bulls have taken ad-
vantage, and have succeeded in advanc.
ing the price of futures during the last
ten days about "a per cent. while "spot"
cotton remains steady and quiet, at an
advance OF abont "a per cent. Some
idea OF relative values may be had from
the fact that ''futures," on the 11th day
OF June last, sold at 25l1, while yester-
day they were selling at 195a--a fall OF
about per cent. The advance inst
above mentioned, however, is likely to
attract cotton from all the Southern
ports. in which event the ascending scale
will be apt to receive check.

ago Senator McCreery. OF Kentucky,
called attention to the fact that A rlington

ana proposed that it should be restored
to her, and the remains of the Union
dead be transported to another resting
place.
Those who heard them can never for.
get tho eloquent remarks of MIR. McCree.
ry, and his eulogium OF the Confederate
captain then sleeping his last sleep, like
the thousands OF his former foes who lay
IN his own lovely home. But as was not
unnatural, the only effect Of Mr.. Nc
Creery's brilliant rhetoric was to arouse
slumbering feeling Of sectional bitterness
and partisan rancor, and whatever good
objects he had in view were utterly de-
teated. lis action, as stated by himself,
was taken entirely Of his own motion,
ana without any consultation with, or
even any knowledge of. Mrs. Lee or any
OF her family. In truth, the most carp

doing so, however. he looked around to
see if anybody could give him an expla-

and not wishing to interrupt him in his
sport, picked mp his prize and walked

fish for supper, and pronoun ced them
very fine; but to this day he cannot OK.
plain how three bass could possibly
string themselves through the eills. tie
themselves around peg, and 90 back
in the water again. The gentleman who
had been fishing must have made lust
such another curious capture and have
lost 1t, for he was heard later in the
evening, talking very loud, and asking
