TROOPS THAT ARE NOT WANTED

Company ID of the eleventh Uni>
ted States infantry arrived in this
city on Sunday, and were obliged
to lay over until Monday. They
were from Fort Worth, or some
other post in Texas, and on their
way to the Indian country in Dako~
ia. A meddlesome Radical politi-
clan met the boys soon after they
had pitched their tents on hill
above the depot, and called out
'Hurrah, boys, for Hayes"
Not solitary cheer responded.
One Of the Sergeants stepped out Of
the crowd and remarked
You have made a mistake; @e
are TiIden men
What you do not mean to say
you oppose the men who give you
food and clothingY
Yes, we do. We are tired of
Grant and his gang, and as for our
food. and clothes, we will excuse him
for that if we will let us loose
oh, nonsense, boys; you don't
mean to go back on Grant and
Hayes 2
Yes, we will 90 back on any man
who keeps two>thirds of our boys in
blue down in Dixie to keep white
men down beneath the niggers, and
who sends handful of us North to
be killed and Iped by the Indians,
armed with guns and bullets fur
nished by Grants brother, Orvil,
and his deputy post traders; and

WHO ARE YOU. SIR ?"

The following story is told of Col
Samuel Colt, who, in his lifetime,
was sometimes inclined to be a trihe
pcmpous. When he was building
dwelling houses for the workmeu
emf Ioyed in bis great pistol factory,
he one day encountered a boy pick
ing up chips on his grounds.
What are you doing here 7 he
said, grutiiy.
Picking up chips, sir replied
the youugster, evidently unawed by
the great presence.
Perhaps, said the Colonel, draw
ing himself up with dignity, "you
don't know who am am Colo
mel Samuel Colt, aud | live in that
big house up yonder.'
The boy Strengthened up, swelled
out and answered
Perhaps you don't know who |
am. I'm Patrick Murphy, and |
live in that shauty down yonder,'
pointing in the direction.
Sonny said the Colonel, blandly
patting the boy on the head, go on
and pick up all the chips you want,
aud when you get out, come back
for more.

The Bolton (Tcxas) paper furnishes
q most notable example of the good
effects of n faith in God and n future
state Of rewards and punishments. 1t
appears that a bitter hatred had exist =
ed for some time between some promi.
nent lawyers of Bolton, threatening Sc
rious results, and it gave pain to many
hearts of friends on all sides. The
gentlemen concerned we're Judge Bat
tie, Major Pearre, and Col. James An
dcrson. Col. Anderson is well known
to most of the people of Franklin
county, where he was born and lived
until q man-whcrc he has relatives
and friends. A correspondent Of the
Bolton paper says:
son Friday night Mai. Pcarrc profcssrd
conversion and Joined the church. In his
experience he said, "God had removed
from hi heart all onmity to every human
being, and that he could forgive and love
all men," Col. Anderson and Judge Bat
tie. who are both members of the church,
but not present. hearing of this, expressed
an earnest desire to meet in love and bury
all past cnmities. All of them mel mt the
IL o'clock services, and at a suitable time
came in front of the pulpit and gave each
other the right hand of love and Christian
fellowship with flowing tears. The whole
house was moved to tears. Old men say
they never witnessed such asccnc on earth
to see eminent men bringing long iand
bitter haIrcd before the cross OF Christ
Jesus.
"The scene was so morally sublime that
it enabled our noble Col. Peter Ross to
exercise forgiveness to one who he felt
had done him a fearful wrong; and feel
ing the love of God had shed abroad IN his
heart he came forward Immediately and
proudly protested faith in Christ. and
Joined the church. Thus peace and har-
mony ever follow in the path Of true re-

Gray in this county. She is about 60
years old, formerly belonged to Mr..
Gray, and has been his cook for forty
years. She has never left her master,
never asked for wages, and seems per-
