Gen. Canby's Murder by Modocs.

The death of Gen. Custer recalls the
terrible fate of his brother-in-arms, Gen.
Candy, who was treacherously murdered
by Captain Jack of the Modoc tribe OF
Indians, April II, 1873, in the Lava Bed
camp, Siskiyou county, California. Gen.
CANDY had been in command OF the
department of Columbia, and during the
six months previous to his assassination
had been actively engaged in bringing
the Modocs to accept the terms OF peace
offered them by the government. On
the morning of April 10, five Indians
and four squaws had come into his camp,
and after receiving presents of clothing
and provisions from the peace comluis-
sioners, one of them was sent out as
messenger to the Indian camp, asking
for meeting on the following morning
at point about one mile beyond the
picket lines. Early IN the morning
Boston Charley came into camp and re-
ported that Captain Jack and five other
Indians would meet the commission out
side the lines. In about an hour Gen.
Candy, Mr.. Dyer, the Rev. DR.. Thomas
and Mr.. Meacham, with Interpreters,
started for the place of meeting, where
thew at once found the Indians. Speeches
were made by Mr.. Meacham, Gen Can
by, and DR.. Thomas, after which Cap
tain Jack asked for Hot Greek and Cot
tonwood-places then already occupied
for a reservation. Mr.. Meacham told
Jack that it was impossible to grant the
renuest. whereupon Schonchin admon-
ished Mr.. Meacham to say no more. and
while Schonchin was still speaking,
Captain Jack walked behind the COM
pany, and upon exclaiming, All
ready !" drew a pistol and snapped a
cap at Gen. Candy. Putting on another
cap he again fired, and Gen. Candy fell
dead, shot under the eye. Schonchin
then fred upon Mr.. Meacham, and
Boston Charley and another Indian shot
and killed DR.. Thomas. Mr.. Dyer was
chased some distance, but succeeded In
reaching his camp.
Gen. Candy was one of the seven gen
erals in the army who then held the
brigadier rank. he was an officer uui-
versally esteemed, and his melancholy
fate awakened a general feeling OF indlg-
nation throughout the entire country.
Gen. Sherman, under directions of the
President, at once forwarded orders to
the camp to "make the attack SO strong
and persistent that their (the Modocs)
fate may be commensurate with their
crime. You will be justified in their
utter determination.

"PetO Names In Public.

Lord Duferin, in an address before
the female normal school in Quebec the
other day, said: I observe that it is an
almost universal practice upon this con
tinent, even on public occasions, IN
prize lists, roI-calls, and in the inter-
course of general society for Young ladies
to be alluded to by their casual &C
quaintances, nay even in the news
papers, by what in the old country we
would call their "pet" names-that is
to say, those caressing, soft appellations
of endearment with which their fathers
and brothers, and those which are
nearest to them, strive to give expression
to the yearning affection felt for them
in the home circle. Now, it seems to
me to be q monstrous sacrilege, and
quite incompatible with the dignity and
self-respect due to the daughters of our
land, and with the chivalrous reverence
with which they should be approached,
even in thought, that the tender, love
invented nomenclature of the freside
should be banded about at random In
the mouths of every empty headed Tom,
Dick and Harry on the street whose idle
tongue may choose to babble OF them.
For instance, in the United States, be-
fore her marriage, observed that Miss
Grant, the daughter of the occupant OF
the most august position in the world,
was generally referred to in the news
papers as "Nellie," as though the para
graphist who wrote the item had been
her playfellow from infancy and even
Lady Duferin, I see, has become
"Kate " in the elegant phraseology OF a
United States magazine-though how
Kate could have been elected from her
excellency's real christian name l don't
know. Of course, this is small matter
to which I lave alluded, but 1t Is not
without significance when regarded - >
rational characteristics;

Porerty's Offering.

To be poor in great city is to have
nothing, to be nobody, to be ever strug-
Cling and planning for breadalone. This
fact might have entered the mind OF a
lad who one day, walking by o, cottage
tenanted by poverty and despair, tossed
his painted rubber ball to little ragged
girl sitting on the doorstep. 1t was Q
prize more valuable than the child
would have dared to have asked for,
and as she played with it there was more
sunshine in her heart than ever before.
Wealth and poverty may be found with
only fence between. The next house
to the cottage is almost q palace, and
one day o curly-haired boy climbed
upon the fence, saw the ball in the hands
of the ragged girl, and wept because he
had none, though he might have had
hundred for the asking. he did not
climb mp again, but a week later the knot
of white and black on the door told that
he was dead. The ragged girl heard
his name spoken, and, while weeping
relatives and grieving friends were NOV
ing softly about, she ascended the
steps, stood in the open door and hand
ing out the ball, softly whispered: -
"Please, ma'am, but your little boy
cried for my ball, and I didn't give it
up, and now he's dead, and if you'll
put it into his coin I'll play with ball
of mud and never be so stingy again J"
Poverty is sometimes wickedness and
degradation. but a nobler action or
greater offering could not be made.
The millionaire who had offered half bis
wealth woulds not have offered what
poverty's daughter did.

The Boat Song.

Balanced we sit in our six-oared shell,
Tolls of the brain, for an hour, farewell!
Ours is no bark the storm to brave,
She bides no buffet Of fosming wave;
But when our lake is a mirror true
OF it's hills 80 green and its skies 30 blue,
Or when the breeze that mirror breaks
And outward tosses its silver fakes,
Oh, then, to the beat Of her sshen wings,
Like q bird DER the air clear deep she
springs.
Oars pulled and festhered and dipped in time
Make measure sweet as poets rhyme,
Make music sweet as our sweet bells chime.
In open sky, on lake and land,
Live spirits OF health for brain, heart, hand ;
And the waving oar hath q wand-ike spell
To win them hither where'er they dwell;
Now for squirt your sinews brace,
Just think Of the laurel that crowns the
race,
For when our brows with the bays are
twined
Gay fetes are plenty and fair maids kind.
Pull hard with one muscle, one heart, one
will,
For pure accord is perfect skill
Oars pulled and fsathered and dipped in time
Make measure sweet as poets rhyme,
Make music sweet as our sweet bells chime.
-Frdncis O. Connor.

Hotel Life in San Francisco.

A story is told of San Francisco
house, but as it is not localized, We can
not possibly saddle it on any one of
them. A man boarding there thought
prudent to settle beforehand, to be sure
that his money would hold out. Two
dollars day. He staid two months and
sent for his bill. Carramba9 The 81 a
day for board was only a small part of
the items charged. Sixty dollars tor
fire loomed up conspicuously. Boarder
demurred.
"Can't help it," says the landlord,
"we can't afford to furnish fuel and a
man to attend to it for less than 81 a
day."
willing to pay you dollar day for fire,
but don't want to pay for any more than
I've had. Now, out of all the time I've
been here it's impossible that I could
have had a fire more than half a dozen
days in the whole sixty"
"Well," says the landlord, "that's
not our fault; the fuel was there and a
man to attend to it; you might have
used it if you had been mind to"
Rt the boarder demonstrated still
urther: "Now, if you come up and
look at my room I think can convince
YOU that there has never been any fuel
there, and what is still more" continued
he, rising to the sublimity of the occa-
sion, "there is no fireplace in the room,
and no stove. There's not even chin
ney in the room for smoke to 60 out at,
nor stovepipe, nor a hole to put
stovepipe around"

This is favor that ought to be appre-
ciated by such as are afflicted with
chronic diseases and deformities likely
to be relieved by surgery. The Doctor
is a thoroughly educated and competent
physician and his opinions as to the cura-
bility Of diseases are worthy Of conf
dence. His consultations are gratuit-
Gus and if treatment at his establish

had at less cost than almost anywhere

which their enterprise and true bust
ness qualifications entitle them to ex-
pect. Their assortment of plain and

We understand that the prospect Of
the Red Wing Manufacturing Company
perfecting its organization and entering
upon the labors this summer is now
assured, and that an understanding has
been established with Messrs. Dewey to
undertake the manufacture Of their new
patented harvester. It is hardly posi-
BILE for it to complete arrangements this
summer for carrying on the business as
extensively as is proposed, but if be-
ginning is fairly made, we may rest salts
fed that the full development Of the bus
mess will not be delayed, for it will GER
tainly prove sufficiently profitable to
influence its proprietors to make needed
engagements and improvements as soon
as practicable. And We believe that
the establishment of this factory here
will soon lead to others being, started,
until Red Wing becomes to be recog-
nized as one Of the most important man
ufacturing cities Of Minnesota. We
hope that such will be the case, for
with the growth Of manufactures here
will come q general advancement in bus
mess and increase Of wealth. n''i 171"
