In Cincinnati they tell a little story
about Mrs. Chief Justice Waite. About
a month before Gen. Grant had broach-
ed Mr.. Waite's name to the Senate
Gen. .Hillyer says Mr.. Waite was al
ways Gen. Grants first ehoire-but be-
fore anything was thought of the mat
ter by the Waite's, Mrs. Waite wrote
an article on cookery for the Cincinnati
Gazette. The article was signed cyan
kee Cook Girl" 1t was full Of sound
suggestions on the cookery question,
and replete with good advice to house
keepers. The article arrested so much
attention that finally rich, old widow
er in Cincinnati wrote TO Sam Reed, the
editor, that he would be glad to give the
"Yankee Cook Girl" situation-nota as
a servant, but she might preside over
his household In fact he offered mar
riage. Mr.. Reed had to answer in a
paragraph that the ssYsnkee Cook
Girl" was not in the market, she hay-
ing get a situation in neighboIing
city. The people of Cincinnati don't
know even now that the Yankee Cook
Girl" was Mrs. Waite, the sensible and
practical wife Of the new Chief Justice,
and that her new situation is the
highest in the land-chief mistress in

An Incident of Indian War
fare.


At the recent fight between the Sioux
and Poncas, at the reservation of the
latter above Yanktown, d. T., the fol-
lowing occurrence is said to have taken
place: . 1G- a
A Sioux brave had gained the shelter
of one of the buildings, from which
position he was enabled to fire at his
foes from short range. While he was
standing just at the corner of the build
ing loading his gun Ponca squaw
rushed from the house, and before the
Sioux could defend himself, gave him a
slashing cut across the abdomen with a
huge knife, literally disemboweling
him. As she struck him the Sioux in
voluntarily bent forward. clasping his
abdomen with his hands, and just at
that moment the squaw caught him by
the hair, and with a savage stroke Of
knife scalped him. Shaking her CORY
tropy aloft, and giving shrill cry Of
defiance she darted back into the build
ing in safety, followed by dozen rife
balls from as many Sioux, who from a
distance saw the resnlt of the sortic.
The effect was perfectly naddening up
on the Sioux, for to have one of their
warriors scalped by sqnaw was a dis
grace which could only be wiped out BY
the blood of the entire accursed band
of Poncas. They rushed fer the build
ings but were met by fire which laid
several of them low, and so cooled the
ardor Of the rest that they retired to a
safe distance without having injured
their foes. The act of the squaw SEEM
eel to inspire the Poncas, and haunting
from the window the scalp of the un-
fortunate Sioux, they uttered yells OF
derision and contempt which nsarly
drove the Sioux frantic. ni

Mr.. Lincoln and the Failing
Stars.

Mr.. Lincoln received once call from
a delegation of Bank Presidents at one
of the gloomiess periods of the war,
when depression and even discourage
ment prevailed in many places. One of
the financial gentlemen asked the Pres
ident il his confidence in the future was
not beginning to be shaken.
"Not in the least,n he answered.
"When 1 was young man in Illinois,
I boarded for a time with a deacon in
the Presbyterian church. One night I
was aroused from my sleep by rap at
my door, and / heard the deacon's
voice exclaiming:
"Arise, Abraham, the day of judge
ment has GOMEZ

the window, and there saw the stars
falling in shower. But looked be-
yond those falling stars, and far back
in the heavens saw-fixed apparently
and immortal-the grand old censtella-
tions with which 1 was so well ac-
quainted. No, gentlemen, the world
did not come to an end then, nor will
the Union now.''

Telling Startling News.

To be the first to communicate start
ling news is an ambition most of us
confess 10. There is fascination about
communicating the intelligence Of a
disaster that few of us can resist. We
hear that So-and-so is dead, and we
start at once for home. Everybody we
meet we stop to ask him how he does.
We say "how are you?" and say it so
calmly we are surprised at ourself. He
stops too and looks at us. The saluta-
ton is SO bare of those qualities that go
to enchain man that we suddenly feel
as if it would have been much better to
have communicated the intelligence at
once. The other party is standing ex-
pectantly and staring curiously at us.
In desperation at the time we are los
ing, we give him the news, experience
a thrill of gratitude at the shock it
gives him, and start on again.. The
nearer we reach home the greater our
fears that some one will get ahead of
us after all. How it nerves us ahead.
We reach the house; all of our eager
ness is gone. We remove our coat and
hat, and while we are hanging them up
and have our back to the audience, we
say very quietly: "That was rather
sudden death ~ "Death Who is dead 2'
is cried in a startling tone that makes
our very finger ends tingle with joy.
"Why hadn't you heard of it?" in a
tone of surprise. s'So-and,so is dead
just died." Do ef9 a.a 9-f tGs
Sometimes So-and-so is reported dJ-
ing-suddenly stricken with fatal dis
ease, and we put for hsme with the
same eagerness; and when we have
succeeded in being first with the news
there comes that after all he may not
die. 1t tortures us in spite of all reason
ing, and having set forth in glowing
colors the great danger he is in, and
how sad it is to be for his family, and
so enlarged upon all the awful features
of the coming catastrophe that there
remains nothing more to add, we feel
in a certain sense responsible for his
carrying out the programme. How
eagerly we watch every intelligence of
him, and how impatiently we wait for
his taking off. As his symptoms grow
more and more unfavorable we grow
louder and more pathetic in our sympa-
thy; should he commence to mend we
feel the sympathy oozing from us, and
in its stead comes the horrible suspic-
ion that he may possibly recover in
spite of all. 1t doesn't seem possible
that man who has given out that he
is going to die can have the face to get
well again. But there are people who
do it, although We mention no names.

A "Reminiscences of Gov. Al
g ,s01 len.

A friend informs us that when he
was boy at college he had room
mate from the State Of Ohio. He was
fond of speaking Of the celebrities Of
his native State, and Senator Allen was
one Of the chosen heroes. He related
to our friend the. following incident
which may prove interesting at this
day. The Senator was addressing q
large audience in the native town of
our informant. When about half
through his speech, after making some
positive assertion, stentorian voice
cried out
'That's lie, sirr'
The Senator pansed moment and
then asked:
'sWhat is your name, sirr'
The answer was given.
"My name is Vass."
The Senator responded
al move the v. be stricken from that
mans name. Allyou in favor Of 1t, say
aye" -
xAnd a hundred voices cried out,
s'aye."
aNow," said the Senator, ayou are
voted an ass.'

Another Daughter.

Gillingham was in Williamsport the
other day, and while attending to his
business there he had a strong Fremont
tion that something was the matter at
home; so in order to satisfy himself, he
determined TO run down to Philadelphia
on the next train. In the meantime his
mother-law sent him dispatch to this
effect:
"Another daughter has just arrived.
Hannah is poorly. Come home at once.
The lines were down, however, and,
meanwhile, Gillingham arrived home
and found his wife doing pretty well
and the nurse rambling around with an
infant day old. After staying twen-
ty-four house, and finding that every
body was tolerably comfortable, he re-
turned to Williamsport without any
thing being said about the dispatch, his
mother-in-law supposing that Of course
he had received it. The day after his
arrival the lines were fixed, and that
night he received dispatch from the
telegraph office dated that very day and
conveying the following intelligence
"Another daughter has just arrived.
Hannah is poorly. Come home at
once" .
"Gillingham was amazed and bewil-
dered. He couldn't understand it.
Daughters appeared to him to be get
ting entirely too thick. He walked the
floor Of his room all night trying to get
the hang of the thing, and the more he
considered the subject, the more he be-
came alarmed at the extraordinary oc-
currence. He took the early train for
the city, and during the journey was in
a condition OF frantic bewilderm ent.
When he arrived he jumped in a cab,
drove furiously to the house, and scared
his mother-in-law inte commissions by
rushing in frenzy and demanding
what on earth had happened. He was
greatly relieved to find that there were
no twins in the nursey, and to learn
how the mistake occurred. But he is
looking now for the telegraph operator
who changed the date of that dispatch.
Gillingham is anxious to meet him. he
wants to see him about something. m

Let 60 that Rope.

Mr.. Wepples was born to command
there is no doubt Of it. He can no more
help giving orders whenever he sees
another man at work than a woman can
pass mirror without trying to catch a
glimpse of her back hair. Mr.. Wopples
was coming along the street the other
day, where some men were hosting
melted tar to the top Of a building for
the roofers. One man was pulling at
the hosting rope, and another was
holding the bucket away from the wall
by means of a chord. The bucket had
just passed the wide cornice when Wop-
piles came upon the scene. He compre-
hended the situation at glance and
saw that the man who was holding by
the chord must slacken it so as to let the
bucket swing over on to the roof. ssLet
go that rope" shouted Mr.. Wopples.-
The man pulling on the hosting rope
recognized the voice OF authority and
with dim impression that something
had burst, he dropped his rope and ran
to the middle of the street. The bucket
came down SO as to just hit the edge of
the cerniee, which upset it, and the
smoky, sticky contents descended in a
flood upon Mr.. Wopples. During the
next two weeks Mrs. Wopples devoted
her leisure hours to scraping the tar of
Wopples skin, varying this amusement
by the, delivery Of free lectures to Wop-
Piles upon what she called his habit of
External meddlin'"

Doctor John Russell, of Michigan,
took issue with Lewis on this point. He
was satisfied that prohibition law

be passed.
A resolution was adopted thanking
Dio Lewis for the part he has taken in
this movement.
