A portrait of Gen. Joseph f: Johnston
has been placed in library hall, in Rich.
mond, Virginia. The picture was made
under IN act passed by the last general as
sembly authorizing the committee on the
library to have it done. The portrait is of
three.quarttr size, taken in citizens dress, in
a standing position. The general has his
cane in his right and his hat in his left hand,
His attitude is nonchalant and graceful. 1t
is a perfect resemblance Of Gen. Johnston

The work has been examined by a number
of citizens, and praised without stint. 1t is
believed by many to be Elders masterpiece.

Tor fcace.
The Indian office has been informed
that Major Walsh, ofthe Canada mounted
police, visited Sitting Bull, heal the head
waters of Frenchman's creek. Sitting
Bull said he desired to remain with the
Canadians during the summer; that he
would do nothing against the law that
he came there because he was tired of
fighting, and if he could not make a liv-
ing in Canada, he would return to the
United States. Spotted Eagle, Rain-in
the Face, Medicine Bear, and a number
of other chiefs of the hostile Sioux were
present, together with about 200 lodges.
The Indians were told they would be al.
lowed ammunition only for hunting pur-
poses, and should any of their people
cross to the American side and commit
any depreciation, the chiefs would be held
responsible and punished, The Canadian
Indians are opposed to having these hos
tile Sioux on their side of the boundary
line, as they are at war with them. In
the event of the United States govern
ment demanding the hostiles, the
mounted police of only 300 men would
would be insufficient to drive them out
of the country. The hostile Indians have
a good supply of arms and horses and
ponies, but little or no ammunition, and
nc Indian can obtain ammunition from
the traders in British territory without
an order from the military commander,
which is not given except for quantity
sufficient to supply the immediate needs
of hunting, in case the Indian is actually
suffering for food. The Canadian au.
thorities look upon the United States
horses, mules and arms in their posses
sion as spoils of war. 1t is believed there
must se some 400 or 500 lodges of hos
tile Sioux now north of the boundary
line, numbering at least 1900 fighting |
men. They intend moving south of the
Yellowstone.

A Disastrous Young Woman.

AS an instance of what hot temper and
rash action can accomplish to ruin a life,
an affair that occurred at Sharon, Pa,
on the 9Th is one of the best illustrations.
A young lady, Miss Kate McGilvery, was
out driving alone, and when on State
street she desired to get ahead of a wagon.
She called out to the driver to turn aside
so that she could pass. He was a deaf,
infirm old man named Bell, and at first
did not hear what she said, but after a
second or third call did as requested.
Misunderstanding Mr.. Bells delay, the
young lady on her arrival at home told
her father that the old ma had tried to
brighten her horse. Mr.. McGilvery is
very impetuous. and this made him so
angry that he started down town to find
Mr.. Bell. He met him in front of a
store, and, without warning, knocked
linn through the window, cutting his
head badly though not seriously. Mr..
Bell was removed to his residence, and
his son Richard was so maddened by his
fathers condition that he determined to
punish his a%ssailant. He found him in
front Of the very store where the first
assault had been made, and picking up
a t%wo-pound brass weight he hurled it at
Mr.. McGiIvery's head, f~racturing the
skull. The wounded man died in a few
hours. Miss Kate, the innocent cause of
all the trouble, has lost her reason, and
is now a raving maniac, though her ply
clan has slight hopes that she may re-
cover from the shock. Young Bell is
now in custody Indianapolis Sentinel.

THE ''AGfR.''

Once upon an evening bleary,
while ! sat me dreamy, dreary,
In the sunshine thinking over
Things that passed In days OF yore
While ! solded, nearly sleeping,
Gently came something creeping
Up my back like water Tapping
LeaPiug upward from The floor
Otis a cooling BREATH | muttered,
" From the regions meath the floor
Only this and nothing morel"
All distinctly | remember
II was In that wet September,
When the earth and every member
OF creation that II bore
Had for days and nights been soaking
In tn meanest, most provoking
FOggy rains That, without joking,
We had ever seen before;
SO knew 1t must be very
Cold and damp benea h the floor
Very cold beneath the floor
SO | sat me nearly mapping
In the sunshine, stretching, gaping,
Craving water, but delighted
With the breeze from meath the floor;
Till | found me waxing colder,
And the stretching growing holder,
And myself a growing older
Older than | felt before;
Feeling that my joints were suffer
Than they were in days OF yore-
SITTER than they'd been beforel
All along my back the creeping
soon gave place to rushing, leaping,
As If countless frozen demons
Had concluded to explore
All the Cavities-"the v~armintsh-
'Twixt me and my neither garments,
Up into my hair and downward
Through my boots into the floor;
Then | found myself a-shaktng,
Geatly first, but more and more
Every moment more and more.
Twas the &" agerI" and 1t shook me
In my very clothes, and took me
Shaking to the kitchen every
Place where there was warmth In store;
Shaking till the dishes c altered,
shaking till the tea was spattered,
shaking, and with all my warming
Feeling colder than before;
Shaking till it had exhausted
All its powers TO shake me more
TIL ii could no: shake mt more!
Then it rested till the morrow,
Then resumed with Ill the horror
That it had the lace to borrow,
Shaking, shaking as before;
And from that day in September
Day that | shall long remember
II has made diurnal visits,
Shaking, shaking on so sOrel
Shaking of my boots, and shaking
Me to bed, If nothing more
Fully this and nothing more!
And to-day the swallows fitting
Round my cottage see me sitting
MoOdily within the sunshine
Just inside my silent door
Waiting for the lager, " seeming
Like a man forever dreaming;
And the sunlight on me streaming
Throws 20 shadow on the floor
For | am too hin and sallow
To make shadows on the ilOor-
Nary shadow any more!

Great Invention! Just Out i
Something New !!
C1enq Wemg's Starch Polish and
Chinese WASHING Blue.

For putting on the same gloss and
hard pearl finish to Shirts, Collars, &c,
as when bought new, at cost of one
cent per week. 1t beats the world !!
With greenemigrant servant we can
polish linen equal to any Laundry IN
America. 1t causes the iron to run
smoothly, and prevents rust. 1t
makes an old shirt look new 1t gives
the linen such smooth, glossy finish,
that dust and dirt will not stick
to it. A woman can do her ironing
in one half the time, and the clothes
smell sweet and fresh.
Every box of the Cheng Weng con-
tains q package OF Chinese Washing
Blue from which large S-ounce Bot
tie of Liquid Bluing can he made in
one minute without cost if necessary
this can be demonstrated at any time
and it.xlll be seen how quickly the
Blueing is made from the powder, con-
vincing any person that they are &C
tually getting the price Of the Box in
Blueing alone, besides having large
box of the Cheng Weng that will last
a family many months.
1t is the most economical article
that can be used, costing only about
one cent to do the ironing Of large
family. Warranted not to iniure
the clothes, but will make them last
much longer, because they do not have
to go through the wearing out process
of washing and starching so often. 1t
gives the linen such a smooth, glossy
surface, that the dust and dirt will
not adhere to it, 50 that it Will keep
clean much longer Even would it
keep clean no longer the beautiful
gloss finish which is impaired is sutii-
cient inducement TO bring it into gem
eral use. The Polish is packed in a
slide box, containing "a Lozenges
which will last an ordinary family six
months.
The Cheng Weng Chinese Washing
Blue from Hong Kong is without any
doubt the best in the world. 1t new
er settles when in water, and contains
ten times the amount of blueing prop
erty of ordinary bottle blueing.
Give it one trial and you will al
ways use it.
Each box contains 80 cents worth Of
polish which is sold at half price
thirty cents per box.
Beware of travelling swindlers
who will offer you a bogus article for
25 to 35 cents per box and thus steal
your money.
