Death Of Capt. william Paist.

Capt. William Paist, the we'll known
Secretary Of the State Agricultural
Society, and Grand Secretary Of the
Patrons Of Husbandry, died at his
residence just on the outskirts of Saint
Paul, at 5:45 Monday morning, Of co n.
sumption. Capt. Paist has been suf.
ferer from this terrible malady for sew.
eral years past, and for months he has
been failing rapidly. Mr.. Paist has
been resident of St. Paul since 1855,
and was one Of those who met with Sc
we're business reverses in 1857. In 1862
he enlisted rs a private soldier in
''H' company Of the Eighth regiment,
remaining until the close of the war,
and gaining an enviable reputation. He
was one of the first charter members of
North Star Grange of St. Paul-the
oldest Grange in the Union-and upon
the organization Of State Grange was
made its Grand Secretary, a position ne
held at the time Of his death. In 1872
he was elected Secretary Of the State
Agricultural Society, and reelected in
1873 and 1874. In all these positions
he displayed great energy and good ex.
ecutlve ability, characteristics that Won
him many warm friends throughou,
the State. In social life he was Kindly
and generous, of irrcproachable charac
ter, good citizen, and loving husband
and father, and his death will be sin
cerely mourned.

A French TraEcdY.

Fashionable French Society is ap.
palled at tragedy which occurred
quite recently. NJ. Valontin, who had
been the fashionable tailor of Paris and
has made a fortune, retired with his
wife to Mandres to live. Their son had
won unusual honors at the Cavalry
School at Saumur, and the day of the
tragedy had returned home with a
friend to receive the parental congratu-
lations. The domestic life of the VAL
entins was rend cred miserable by the
continual jealousy Of the lady, which,
IS it was without cause, was less en-.
durable. On the occasion Of the return
Of young Valentin,this father was wit
Messing game of billiards between the
lads, when his wife called him up
stairs. With joke about prompt obe-
diencc to superior officers, NJ. Valentin
left the room. A few minutes after
wards six pistol shots were heard, and
on examination the young dragon found
both his parents dead. 1t was evident
that another attack Of jealousy had
seized Mad. Valentin, that her husband
had become enraged at the annoyance
on such a joyous occasion, and had shot
his wife and himself to end it forever.
The ashes of a letter were found in the
room, having probably been burned by
one of the parties before the quarrel
commenced, as the shots were fired in
too rapid succession to ojustify the belief
that the husband had destroyed it after
killing his wife. A mania for sympathy
never wrought more dismal tragedy
than this constitutional jealousy.

President Grant I'm the Indian Ter
-. ritOry.

V1S1rA, l. T., Oct. l2.-The President
in company with Secretary Borie, Gen,
Harncy and others, arrived here last
evening. Hundreds of Cherokccs turn.
ed out to see the "Great Father" and
Col. Bond:not was selected to address
the President, which he did as follows
Mr.. President: 1t is with great
pleasure that I in behalf Of the people
Of this place, welcome you
and your distinguished companions
to the Indian Territory. Never
before has our Territory been honored
by visit from President of the
United States. In the Indian parlance
you are called the Great Father, bu.
we Of the Cherokee nation, who, for
more than a generation have renounced
the manners and customs Of savage life
and adopted in their stead the princi-
pies Of your civilization, delight to ad-
dress you by that title, so simple yet so
grand, by which you are known and
honored throughout tho civilized world.
Mr.. Presidcnt-You have crossed the
threshold of the Indian Territory, to a
country larger in area than the six
New England States, and unsurpassed
in national wealth by any section Of the
country of equal extent. In your jour-
ncy to-day you will pass for 240 miles
through portions Of the four principal
civilized Indian nations-the Cherokees,
Creeks, Choctaws and Chickasaws,
numbering in the aggregate some $4,000
souls, of whom about 10000 are negroes
and whites.
Whatever differences of opinion there
may be among the Indians Of this Ter
ritory respecting questions of public
policy concerning tt EN-, | am sure all
unite in the conviction that you, Mr..
President, arc the true and steadfast
friend of the Indians and will exercise
your great influence on all suitable oc-
casions to protect our interests and en-
courage and sustain our efforts to Sc.
cure all the hts and privileges to
which our advanced civilization entities
US. The recommendations you
have made to Congress in your annual
messages with regard to this Territory,
l believe are cordially endorsed by
large portion Of the intelligent part of
our people.
Wishing youa safe and pleasant jour.
ney and trusting you will see evidences
of that high degree Of enlightenment
the Indians of the nation claim to pos.
sess, again bid you welcome.
Three hearty cheers were then given
TO the President, when he replied as
follows:
1t affords me great pleasure to visit
your beautiful country, a country which
| have never seen before, though have
been far on all sides of it. It is rich
in soil and of surpass-
ing beauty. Without saying
anything at this time about the policy
which I think should be adopted with
regard to this Territory, will say that
am pleased with the evidences Of ad-
vancement among you and hope you
will be encouraged in cultivating the
soil of such magnifi cent country.
