The Story OF A Ro SEA roso with 80
pretty title and so full Of romance as
this ought TO be beautiful, and SO is the
Cherokee rose. Here is the story told Of
it:
An Indian chief Of the Seminole tribe
was taken prisoner by his enemies, the
Cherokees, and doomed to torture, but fell
SO seriously i'll thatitbecame necessary to
wait for his restoration to health before
committing him to the fire, He lay prostoa-
ted by disease in the cabin of the Cherokee
warrior, the daughter Of the latter, a young
dark faced maid was his nurse. She fell
in love with tho young chieftain, and
wishcg to save his life, urged him to es-
cape, But be would not do so unless she
would flee with him. She consented. Yet,
before they had gone for, impeled by soft
regrets at leaving home, she asked per-
mission of her lover to return for the pur-
pose of bearing away some memento of it.
So, retracing her foot sleeps, she broke o
sprig from the white rose which climbed
up the poll of her fathers tent, and pre-
serving it during her fight through the
wilderness, planted ii by the door Of her
new home in the land of Seminoles. And
from that time to this, the beautiful flower
has been known between the cape Of
Florida and throughout the Southern States
by the name Of the Cherokee Rose.

SPAIN has talented, brave and consciea-
tious men who are at present denounclng
wrong in the most eloquent terms.
The following is an extract Of the indig-
nant denunciation proclaimed in the Cor
tes, and hurled at the head of the Minis
try by Senior Benot. 1t refers to the cru
elites perpctrated upon the white people of
the Island Of Cuba: "The punishment of
torture and confscation are abolished
from our statutes. And yet, my Lords,
this punishment is constantly being APP
piled in Cuba, but without subsection o
any law whatever, and solely at the cap
rice of arbitrary authority. No one is re-
spected, no one pardoned ; the sons of the
insurrectionisls, or suspected instruction :
lists, are embsrgoed and conhscated, and
the confscation extends to the wifes mar
riage settlements and trusts, etc. Again,
he says: oThe slaves either belong to the
rebels or the Government. If they belong
to the rebels, they are free, and have been
so since April, 1869 and if they belong to
Spain, they obtained their manumssion in
July, 1870, in virtue of the act l have
quoted.
"The slave owner Of to-day can tran
gully 1.-Two on the toll Of his negroes, in
virtue ola Spanish act organizing sla'
very.
ave have lost in the Antilles thousands
and thousands Of brave soldiers; Cuba il
the tomb of the Spanish youth, the grave
f,hc Spanish army. What have we gain
cd, after all, by wrestling from the Cubans
their Unborn rights, which, try as we
must viii! still be theirs We have won
the right of being held up as the most in
human people in I'LL civilizations"

How Justice is Administered on the
Border.


From the Topeka Commonwealth.
When the Kansas Pacific train from
Denver reached Wallace, on Wednesday
morning, the train men, who 20 no furth.
err than that station eastward from Den.
.yer, partook of their breakfast and then
retired to bed, Us 10 their customary habit.
Two of these men, Chas. Stillman and
Dick Herring, the former baggegeman
and the latter brakeman, occupied one
room together at the station house. Still
man Lad a pair of new eighteen dollar
boots, of fine workmanship, which he
placed near his bed, and put his vest, con.
tanning small amount Of money, under
his pillow. Herring had in his clothing a
horseshoe nail, comb and tooth brush,
and twenty-five cents in money. The two
slept long and soundly, and when they
awoke, and Stillman attempted to put on
his boots, hc discovered that his nice ones
had become strangely metamorphose d,
having turned into apair of coarse six
dollar affairs. The boys then began
searching their clothing and Herring
found that his horseshoe nail, comb brush
aud money were gone. They then began
investigating the matter. Stillman sus.
pected fellow who had been working his
way along the road as fireman, and thought
he had gone off on n freight train; but he
was shortly afterward found at tho table
eating his dinner. Stillman then went to
man in Wallace who sells boots, and
asked him if he had any liked the ones
the thief had left him, and the storekeeper
said he had, and further pointed out the
fellow who had bought them. Improved to
be the identical chap then at his meal
Pat GrOeny, deputy sheriff, was summon
ed, and when the yonng man finished eat
ing, the officer told him that he wanted 10
see him little while. They took him in
to back room and investigated his foot
gear, and sure enough there were Still
mans boots. Furthermore, he had in his
clothing the articles taken from Herring.
Pat Greeny, the deputy sheriff, thereup-
on constituted himself court, and the
evidence being of the most positive kind
he pronounced the prisoner "guilty" and
proceeded at once TO pass judgment upon
the offender The court didn't tumble over
law books or statutes any.--not he; neither
did he assess damage or pass sentence in
the good old style. He had his man right
before him, and being practical sort Of
u fellow, he just "passed the culprit one
with his clenched fist, letting him have the
benefit of demolishing blow between the
eyes. This laid the offender out on thu
floor, and the court administered another
dose of "justice" to him as he lay there
when ; oonsidering that he had gone tt
the extent of the "law,--"Wallace law, h,
told him most omphatically to ''get up and
dust himself right away, and the fellow
'dusted," and he didn't wait for train
either. ,ass.s se.. e

YANKEE INVENTIONS ingonius Yam
kee has proposed plan by which he offers
to warm Boston safely and cheaply. He
erects enormous furnaces in some remote
locality, and conveys heat by means Of
pipes to all houses whose ow ners will pay
him his terms. Thus heat, as we'll as wa
ter md gas, will be laid on in we'll regu-
lated Boston houses, and the private stove
and the domestic furnace will DO as obso-
lete as the old-fashioned pump and the
candles and lamps of antiquity. Why he
should limit himself to supply hot air only,
does not appear. Why does he not offer 70
supply artificial iced air in summer timer
What is there to hinder him from establish-
vast tobacco pipe, wherein the best Vir-
ginia tobacco shall forever burn, and its
pleasing fumes be conducted by supple
mentary lead pipes into every bachelors
private apartments2 There Is really no
limit to the good things which might thus
be laid on in Bostonian houses, and the
day may yet come when the Boston citizen
shall havo hot and cold air, beer, coffee and
tobacco smoke supplied to every room in his
house, by means Of. pipes and faucecs.--

The following, announcing the
death of Mr.. James D. McEnery, a
brother of Gen. McEnery, we clip
from the N. O. Times of the 8th
inst:
The announcement on Monday, of the
death OF Mr.. James D. McEnery, of Mon :
roe, was o sad surprise to the many
friends of that estimable gentlemen, who
met him here but short time ago, at
tending with his accustomed diligence to
his business affairs.
James d. McEnery, elder brother OF
Gov. McEnery, was born in Petersburg,
Va, and u graduate of tho st. Louis Uni
versity.
Having studied for the bar, he gained q
good practice soon after his admission to
the legal profession, in which he enj Dyed
an enviable reputation. A gentleman OF
fine lit erary tastes and forcible speaker,
he was IN able member of our State Leg
islature in 1864 and 1865.
While in our city short time ago to
procure hands and arrange for his plant
ing in Ouachita, he contracted cold on the
Levee, of which, however, nothing was
thought, and he returned home by boat.
He died of pneumonia, OF the house of
his partner, Mr.. R. Richardson, while his
wife was absent at her fathers in Arkan-
sas.
He leaves q wife and three grown chill =
dren, with whom large circle of friends
will sincerely sympathize.
He was quiet, heightened gentlemen,
o good citizen a faithful friend and q low
ing husband and father-a man whose
loss will be felt, not only within the
charmed circle of home, but by an entire
community to whom he was endeared by
his many sterling qualities of head and
heart.

A very curious suit, arising out of one
Of tho incidents of the late war between
France and Germany, will shortly be
brought to trial in the French courts. Du-
ring the war German soldier was shot
near the village Of Vaux, vhcreupon .
Prussian column swept down on the place
and captured twenty eight peasants who
had fed for refuge to church. The Prus-
SLAMS, determined to have revenge for the
death Of the slain soldier, announced to
the frightened captives that three Of their
number would be shot, leaving the selec-
ton Of the victims to the prisoners. The
Prussians proposed that they should draw
lots, and kindly offered them the use Of o
soldiers helmet for the purpose of on urn,
but the offer was declined. Finally, after
they had been shut up in the church for
seventy five hours, they reported that the
three required victims had been selected
by a majority, though no information is
given as to how the selection was made.
The unfortunate men who found themselves
in minority, were led out and shot aud
now their widows demand damages from
the twenty-five survivors, on the ground
that the three should have been selected
by lot. t

A HOTEL INoIDENT.-The Courier-J ourn-
al is responsible for the following;
A newly married couple Of quite gen.
teel appearance, were guests Of the Will.
lard Hotel on Monday. night. The young
bridegroom was naturally little nervous
in his new position, and yesterday morn
ing, when the bride, in making her toilet,
couldn't find the comb and brush, and the
husband was sent post-haste to the Office,
he walked briskly up to the counter and
hurriedly instructed the clerk to "send
his wife the curry comb and brush"
The clerk, with an air of gravity, quiet
ly replied;
"My friend, We don't keep any curry
combs in the house. You'll have to 60 to
the stable"
The gentleman looked hastily at the
clerk--indigaautly at first, then half vex-
ed, half amused, humorous CLEAN twink
led in his eye, and finally he broke out in
to n ripple OF laughter, which was hearth
ly participated in by the official.
The young groom then made known his
real wants, and, having procured the arti-
Giles, returned to the waiting wife, to
whom be was obliged to relate the cause
Of his delay.
"Eilher' said the husband, Che must
have thought you were the gray mare,
which, according to the old story, is the
better horse or that was"
"An ass, and needed the curry-com !

1t has not been an hour ago since

he had not received his paper for
three months. 1t certainly goes to

but one reason why the mails dc
not enter that office, and that is its

dorse all that the Advance has said

something should be done at the

BATHING IN Cold WATER Nothing is
more common than custom Of many per-
sons to have cold water bath Immediate
ly on leaving their beds, as daily habit.
Delicately organized ladies notunfrequent-
ly have established the same course, con-
sidering it conducive to health. There is
an impression that II invigorntes the indi-
vidual, hardens the muscles and strength
ems the constitution. The sudden abstrac-
ton Of caloric or vital warmth in that way
has not only injured but destroyed more
than were benefited thereby. A reaction,
as II is called, glow of warmth that sub
seouently follows, is a direct draft upon
the system to meet sudden loss of vitali-
ty, and it is by no means so beneficial as
theoretically imagined. A tepid bath
makes no such injurious demands, and
therefore is not injurious or perilous for
those of frail structure.

Noah's Real Name.

It is said that the Chinese declare til
Noahs real name was All Boo, and that
resided in Pekin. Unfortunately, Noah
family Bible was lost in the food, and "
cannot ascertain from ii what his nam
was. His door plate also seems to b
missing, and he had,a very careless way o
neglecting to mark his shirts; 80 we are
bafiled In that direction. We have inquir-
ed at tho libraries for copy Of the Pekin
directory Of that date, to see IL Noah re-
ally figured in it's pages, but the only copy
any Of them had was out. For our part,
We do not believe his name was All Boo,
or that he resided in Pekin. These Chi
namen claim everything that is going,
from gunpowder up to newspapers. II
we give them any ground on the Noah
business, tho first thing we know they
will be out with the assertion that the ark
was insured in the Pekin Mutual Com
pany, and that Noah used to give the Pekin
newspaper people free tickets to 60 in and
watch the animals perform. The interests
Of Christianity require that we should
believe the Bible Sunday Dispatch.
