speech defending President Grant for his con-
duct in relation to the Ku Klux prosecutions,
which gave great offence to the people of his
State. They thought it most ankind in an
honored South Carolinian, to justify the mill
tary oppression and tyranny of his native State.
But this speech gave him great favor with
General Grant who soon manifested disposi-
tion to reward him. The mission to the Ar
gentine Republic was Immediately afterwards
tendered..hi Governor Orr showed me the
letter of Secretary Fish rendering the mission
the morning after he receivedit. Isaid to him,
you certainly have no idea of accepting it,. 1t
is only a half mission, and to an outlandlsh,
half civilized people. He replied, how am |

was disgusted with his political position in
South Carolina, and his political associates,
and was anxious to get rid of them. He saw
failure inevitable in his boiling movement and
that he could no longer exercise controlling
influence over the Radical party in South Car
olina. The mission to Russia was soon after

most unfortunately. The cold climate of
Russia proved too severe for his delicate health.
Had he remained in South Carolina, he might
have lived for many years, and high honors
would yet have awaited him.
do not deem it necessary to give bio
graphical sketch of Judge Orr. The newspa-
pers of the State have already done this at
great length and with great minuteness.-
There was one characteristic of Judge Orr,
which will not omit to mention, although 1
am neither writing sketch of his life or char
ter, properly speaking. He was gentleman
of unbounded hospitality, both at home and
in Washington. He delighted to see his friends
and have them around him. In Washington,
whilst Speaker, his entertainments were nu-
merous, elegant and luxurious. At home his
house was always filled with his friends. Dur
ing court at Anderson, when it was impossible
for the Judge and lawyers to dine with him,
he always made it point to have them at his
house in the evening after the adjournment of
court, where they never failed to spend their
time most pleasantly indeed. No one ever
took more pleasure in serving friend, or what
was much higher christian virtue, in forgiv-
ing an enemy, than Judge Orr. 1 cannot in
my Judgment, pay higher tribute of respect
to his heart Sad, very sad, indeed, is his
death, cut off in the prime of his manhood,
and in the midst of his brilliant career of use
fulness and distinction. If he had faults and
foibles, like other great men, they lie buried
in the love and affection of his countrymen.
The last conversation I had with Judge Orr,
he expressed wish that he might die suddenly,
and said he never repeated that portion of the
Episcopal service which asked to be preserved
from sudden death.

A RAILROAD MYSTERY IN MINNESOTA
The St. Paul Pioneer relates the story of some
very mysterious and inexplicable occurrences
which have of late disturbed the nerves OF
railroad employees and of the people living
about Randall Station, situated in bleak,
treeless waste on the main line of the st. Paul
and Pacific road. awe report only what We
have heard" it says, "but the stories which
have reached us are so well authenticated and
are repeated by so many persons who are not
inclined to superstitious notions that we are at
a loss to give any opinion on the matter" 1t
seems that the section foreman of the road at
the locality named was formerly man named
Connolly, who is said to have taken great in
terest in his division In March, 1872, a terri
BILE accident occurred on the road at this station
during snow-storm, whereby many lives were
lost, including that of Connolly. This man
was succeeded in his duties by man also
named Connolly, who occupied the station
house as his predecessor had done before him.
After he had been on duty for some months he
suddenly became the victim of serious ghostly
visitations and manifestations. The apparition
of the dead foreman appeared nightly at his
bedside, wringing its hands apparently IN en-,
treaty and sometimes rs if in anger. He had
also been thrown violently out OF his bed, and
when he recovered himself he would find
bruises and the imprints of fingers and hands
upon his body Alarming incidents of this
character occurred so frequently that Connolly
finally asked to be removed from the division
or from the house. These particulars and
many other details connected with the appear
ance of the phantom to other eyes we're pub
lished at the time of their occurrence. The
Pioneer now says that the proceedings have
continued up to the present time, and that the
people living in that part will go around the
house for Ave miles rather than pass 1t. The
spirit, or whatever it may be, is now seen about
the house day and night. The doors of the
house open and shut at night with an exceed
ing clatter. The phantasm of the approaching
train is seen at night which, when it reaches
the station. melts into thin air with the sound
of great tumut of voices and the cries OF
diving men. A lantern is also visible at inter
walls bobbing up and down along the road, but
belated travellers upon the prairie, when they
approach it, discover that it recedes from them
and that they have been misled for miles. Tu-
mults as of a great company dancing together
are heard in the house, and outside rushing
noise as of scurrying drove of cattle salutes
the ear. The haunted place is avoided as tar
as possible by all, and three families which
have endeavored to live therein within short
time have been frightened away. There are
probably natural causes to account for most OF
these strange proceedings, but the fright OF the
people near the station-house is not the less.

WHO is CAPTAIN JACK?-The Frankfort
(Ky.) Yeoman thus discusses the parentage of
Captain Jack, the noted Modoc chief, by which
it appears he is descended from Kentuckian:
1t is at this time currently reported in this
community, and by many believed, that Capt.
Jack, the celebrated Modoc Chief, is the son of
Capt Jack Chambers, a native, and formerly a
we'll known citizen of the western part of this
county. In support of this belief, the follow
ing facts are given About the year 1856 a
party of emigrants, made up of citizens of
Franklin County, and other parts of Kentucky,
went to California on fortune seeking expe-
dition. With this party went Capt. Jack.
Chambers, bold, daring man, who, though
full blooded white man. possessed many OF the
characteristics, physical, as we'll as mental and
moral, of an Indian brave. On reaching Cali
forna, the party gradually broke up and scat
tered, but it was we'll known, and SO reported
by all those who subsequently returned to
Kentucky, that Capt. Jack Chambers fell in
with the Modoc Indians, married the daughter
of their head chief at whose death he-Capt.
Chambers to the chiettainship by
election, and so continued to the day of his
death, only few years ago. 1t is also said
that. after living with the Modocs some years,
he became so much like the rest of the warri-
ors of that tribe, both in speech and general
physique, that the closest observer never sus,
pected that he was other than full-blooded
Indian. Besides, the Captain himself favored
the delusion, and hence it is we see it stated in
all the sketches of "Capt jack" the present
Modoc chief, that he is the son of full-blood-
ed chief of that tribe In fact, this was the
general belief of all the Indian traders and
agents who ever came in contact with the
tribe.
At the time of his joining the Modocs, Capt.
Jack Chambers was between thirty-fve and
forty years of age. Previous to his emigration
to California, however, he had volunteered in
the war for the independence of Texas, where
he he distinguished n himself as brave soldier and
capital officer. 1t is an interesting and remark
able fact in his personal history that he was
one of family Of twenty-four children.twen-
ty-one sons and three daughters-all Of whom
grew to maturity, 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 American Indians.

Experience of a Farmer.

The following appeared in the Vermont
Journal:
Mr.. Editor IL was born March 10th,
1901. | have always lived in the same
house, and have managed the farm Of about
ninety acres about fifty years. When
came in possession Of it, cut from fifteen
to twenty tons Of hay but now cut from
forty to fifty tons on the same ground. The
inquiry may arise how have done it.

Of this, place 10 which | winter 10 or

Setting Trees.

The season is at hand when fruit and 9th.
err trees should be set out. 1t is always
better not to set trees until the ground is
in suitable condition to work freely Let
the holes dug for trees be large enough to
prevent the doubling or cramping Of the
roots, and when the tree is placed in posi-
ton, the roots should all be carefully
straitened out, and the earth sifted in
among the roots and then pressed down,
AS the earth goes in, the same may be well
trodden down. The tree should be set a
little lower than it stood in the nursery be-
fore transplanting. BE careful not to set
them too deep. We like to head in most
trees except evergreens when VIC set them.
We usually cut off smoothly with a sharp
knife the ends of all the large roots. When
the trees are large, and in danger of
blowing over or being swayed by the
wind, it is well either to secure them by
ropes fastened to stakes driven into the
ground, or by placing near the tree and
over the roots large stones that will keep
the roots in place. Evergreen trees may
be set out us late as the first of June and
do well, though we prefer to do this work
early in May, before the trees begin to
make new roots.
1t is always better not to attempt tc
transplant large trees, unless the work ii
done in winter For fruit trees we shoult
prefer those not more than two or tire,
years from the bud. Medium size ever
greens are surer and better, and should al
ways be transplanted with ball of earth
On no account let the roots be long exposed
to the sun and winds.
