General Harnex on the war.

Gen. w. S. Harney, whose repu-
tation as an Indian fighter was won
in many hard fought contest
among the Florida Everglades and
on the great Western plains, and
who, since his retirement from army
life, lives at his country seat, near
Meramec Station, Mo-, was recently
in st. Louis.MHe was interviewed
by a reporter of the Republican, to
whom he gave his views on the
present Sioux war, which he con-
siders wholly unnecessary, saying:
Z" If they had carried out the treaty
[ made with the Sioux at Fort
Pierre, in 1854, there would have
been no war. The Indians are fond
of distinction, and | originated a
scheme, inviting the young war
riors to become soldiers of the
United States. They we're to re-
ceiye uniforms, be formed into
companies and hold themselves in
readiness to assist the armies of the
United States whenever called upon.
Certificates of enlistment were is
sued to them, by which their nat
ural pride was grati6ed, and they
exulted in being recognized as
soldiers. In this new relation they
became fast friends Of the United
States, and it is a fact that in 1867,
when the Indian Peace Commission,
of which was a'member, visited
the Sioux of the Upper Missouri,
hundreds of middle-aged braves
came into Che council, and, as an
evidence that they had ever been on
friendly termswith the government,
pulled out from their belts the
original certificates Issued to them
by me eleten years before" F."

them out of their peltries. The
British would hang a white man
for selling whisky to an Indian"
"The Chiyingtou massacre is
considered one of the biggest things
of the kind recorded in history, is
it not p
eyes, it takes the lead" replied
the officer with a glow Of pride
beaming upon his face; nobody
ever killed so many Indians at one
pop, before or since. Eight hun
dred warriors and five hundred
squaws and papooses isn't bad for
one days work. | was boy then,
but | did my share of it"
"The Lord have mercy on your
soul, F" said the reporter, as he took
his leave.

The Female Lobbyist.

Celia Logan writes from Wash
ington concerning this much talked
of person: She is always painted
in the roseate hues Of health and
beauty and represented as rioting
in ill.goten gains. TO read Dom
Piatt's description of these women
one would think that they always
succeeded in getting through any
bill or claim they might have an
interest in, and are paid such large
sums that they can live sumptuous-
| ly, but he tells us nothing Of the
poor wretch who loses all and gains
nothing. Such one died here the
other day. She came to Washing
ton a few years ago as pretty and as
good a young girl as ever lived.
She was brought up in one Of the
Western States, and when. her
parents died and left her destitute
she came to the capital to find some
man of influence whom she knew
to try and persuade him to get hel
a clerkship. He did so. She made
an able clerk and was liked and
respected by all. 1t was at this
period of her life that | made hel
acquaintance. Seeing her death
in the papers the other day
made inquiries as to her fate il
the intervening years. BY one o
those senseless and wholesale dis
missals of clerks she had been lef
without the means Of subsistence
and at last, after vainly trying wha
is so well known here as "to ge
back" she was persuaded by baC
friend to try her luck at lobbying
For a while she had a little run o
prosperity, but soon succumbed Il
the fatal and pestiferous inAuenc,
of so much unscrupulOus male so
ciety. With an infant in her arms
she fell into the direst need whel
deserted by the man who had be
trayed her. Her child died-sh
broke her leg and became crippl
grief, shame, remorse and wan
soon destroyed her beauty, and he
career had lost her all her friends
Comforted and supported by som
kind-hearted colored people, tn
once dashing lobbyist breathed he
last. In describing her end tn
old darky said: "She lost her cor
scienciousness only a few hours be

apparent in her gait. Her stately
bearing and the noble carriage of
her head and shoulders are still
very remarkable. "She looks" !"
Quoth my friend, "like one accus-
toned to wear crown" 1t is a
significant fact that all the photo
graphs of her now offered for sale
in the Partisan shops we're taken
two or three years ago, SO that ap-
parently she has not cared to sit
for any later ones. Her ex.Maiesty
must be somewhere in the neigh
borhood of fifty, so that the deca-
dence Of her charms is scarcely to
be wondered at.

Big Horn Letter to New York Times.l
During the progress Of the battle
/ had for the first time in my life
occasion to witness how Indians
scalp their fallen foe, and it is quite
impossible to relate how quick it is
done. A warrior struck by the
deadly bullet, drops from his horse.
The victor in, rapid course runs
toward his victim. The docile war
horse stops; dismounting and re-
mounting are performed in no time,
the warrior touching the ground
with one foot only, the other leg
resting still on the saddle. A grip
for the scalp, a flash of the knife or
tomahawk, and a jerk. The war
ior is remounted, and a bloody
scalp of long jet-black hair fas-
tened to the lance and raised high
above the yictor's head tells that
one more redskin has gone to the
happy hunting ground.

Success is never achieved without
merit. A man may make poor article
and sell it once, and there being 40 ,OOJ,-
900 people in the United States, the sale
to each one would be enough to make a
decent fortune. But an article that
holds the field year after year, and the
sales Of which increase regularly and
rapidly. must have absolute merit.

cupies our entire eighth page to-day with

larly educated physician, whose diploma
