scandal. Louisa A. FurguSOn. Wne OF
broker, eloped with one Edwin Rowe,
doing business at No. 40 Burling slip.
The<lady last appeared in private theat-
ricals, at an entertainment given by the
Amaranth, as Mrs. Green Jones in ''::The
Ticket.o Leave Man, She is about "a
years ole, with pearly teeth, beautiful
golden hair, fascinating address, and be-
witching form. How she came to take q
fancy to Rowe is mystery. He is a
sQuatty, common looking individual,
with loud voice and peculiar nose.
Furguson feels quite content over the
loss of his wife; yet it is intimated that if
he ever meets Rowe he will .adorn the
elopcr's countenance in most approved
pugilistic fashion. The lady members Of
the Amaranth take the matter more to
hear; than their gentlemen friends, and
now that Mrs. Furguson is non est for a
time, take melancholy satisfaction in re-
membering certain stran~e actions Of the
fair one. Mrs. Furguson, in her flight,
took with her little daug hter four years
old. Rowe left six children behind him.
On the Goth of March, James Dunno, q
detective, traced them to the McDonough
house, Stonington, Conn.,, where they
were registered as Edwin Rowe, wife and
child. He finally tracked them to Mon
treal, and several places in Canada. At
some hotels they were registered as man
and wife, and at others occupied separate
apartments. Dunno arrived in Montreal
on Wednesday, and found the parties
had started for Rockland on Tuesday.
They arrived at Portland on Thursday
afternoon, and registered at the Falmouth
hotel as Edward Lewis and Mrs. l.. A.
Lewis. Rowe left on Thurs.
day morning. Detective Dunno
arrived at Portland on Friday
afternoon, and with the assistance of City
Marshal Parkes, found the lady, simply
by comparing the handwriting on the
register. They went to Mrs. Furguson's
room and arrested her. She was very
indignant, and at first refused to 60 with
the officers, but, on being told that she
would be locked up in the station-house,
she consented to be put under arrest in
her room. She attempted to bride the
officers, offering them $1,000 each to re-
lease her. It is supposed Rowe was to re-
turn on Saturday, and they were to take
a steamer for Europe tomorrow after
noon. Dunno started for New York with
his prisoner yesterday morning.

The following are stated to be extracts

Hills:
| SPOTTED TAIL.
You called this meeting to have small
talk. You, and the ones that come here
to bring news from the Great Father
want to gather money for yourselves.
We were looking for the time when you
would come here, that my country would
get larger instead Of smaller. I have
been to see the Great Father, and he said
we would succeed in all we undertook. I
find the Commissioners don't help us to
do that. You may be one of the same
kind. They look to their own good, not
ours. If they only came here to gather
money for shert time, and in little bits,
good; but they take it all at one time,
which makes US poorer and poorer, an !
now our children starve.
Since last fall our Great Father has
sent one of his old men to harrangue in
all his villages, and be had big council
of his head men [Congress]. and have
expected bad news ever since. and YOU
have brought it to us to-day. My friend,
you come from the Great Father to talk,
and it is not solid, and don't know what
to make of it.. There is so much lying
and stealing, can't tell where it begins
know where it ends.
They keep telling me the appropria-
tions are too small It's a lie. They are
large enough, if it came to US with out
going through so many. All have peck
cts. 1t wouldn't be so bad if some Of our
people were the Commissioners and the
Agents; we would make them have pock-
cts just like white men.

You see all these people! Some are
