ment, remembering that some half a
century back I was boy myself, 1 gave
franc to bright-eyed little Breton to
go to the circus. In front of my WIN
dow is a low wall about fifteen inches
high. It is about 100 feet long, and is
good place to sit nobody can go in
or out of the hotel without being seen
by persons sitting on that wall. I gave
the franc at o'clock; at haf-past 3
that wall was covered with boys from
end to end. You couldn't have wedged
in one anywhere without showing one
off at one end or the other. What were
they there for? I found out when L
left the house. Each one had done me
some seTvice-or imagined he had-and
came to ask for franc In consequence.
It's astonishing what memories these
boys had-upon what pretenses they
dared to ask me for franc. One had
handed me chair in church, another
had asked to go rowing with me. and,
having volunteered to pull an oar for a
while, mad just thought to ask pay for
it; another had brought me a daily
plate of strawberries, for which his
mother had already charged me twice
their market price. Those boys were
too much for me. I fled.
At last the hour of performance came,
and such a scene as L witnessed within
that tent-which, by the way, was a
remarkably handsome tent never ex-
pect to see again. On tiers of seats, one
above the other, were rows of the broad,
velvet banded hats, and snowy colts, and
underneath them full-fushed healthy
faces of old men and children, young
men and maidens, who waited anxiously
for the entrance of the ring-master. 1t
was to us, Americans, simply very
good circus-to them it was fairy-land.
We saw only spangles and bullion-laee
they saw gold and gems. We saw
only painted clowns-they saw mystic
rious and wonderful beings. They were
a lot of grown-up children. They
screamed with delight at the antics
VI UllO anu IilOJ JCICo
with admiration when Mile. Bell
rode around the ring on her
fiery charger. They would have en-
ioyed themselves great deal more but
for one drawback. They couldn't under
stand the clowns jokes. Such a thing
as French clown is all but an impossi-
bility; and it seems almost equally i'm
possible for an English clown to learn
French. So we few Americans and En-
glish gathered there were obliged to ex-
plain the jokes over and over again for
the benefit of our Quimperle friends,
who laughed, but did not understand.
But we did it all very willingly, for we
were patriotic enough to wish the best
impression should be left By the Ameri-
can circus in Brittany.-St. Nicholas

How Crazy Horse Met His Death.

The notorious Sioux chieftain, Crazy
Horse, died at Camp Robinson at mid
night of the 9th inst. 1t is a coincidence
worthy of note that the unconquered and
atrOcious chief received his death-wound
"A terrible bOwie-knife cut in the side
at the hands of one of his former fol-
lowers, soldier Indian, who had stood
side by side with the chief in the battle
of the Rosebud, in the Custer massacre,
and in other engagements of the Sioux
war. When Crazy Horse essayed his
escape, few days before his death the
Indian soldiers who had been foremost
in acts of brutality one year ago hunted
him down like bloOd-hounds. Relation
ship, tribal ties and savage pride have
all lost their hold before the keen manip-
ulation of General Crook and his jun!
ior officers, and the words of the Gener-
al a year ago regarding these hOstiles,
that he could "make brother hunt
brother" are strikingly verified in this
instance.
The scene around and inside the Ad-
jutant's office as the chief died, was in
perfect keeping with his long years of
thrilling adventure and unstinted re-
venge. His father, with one or two
faithful followers, watched by his side,
while crowds of savages hung around
the building, giving vent to their feel
ingS in the curdling whoop and lending
utter drear to the murky darkness with
the ominous death chant. Indian sol
dierS and diSarmed hostilGS were there
alike, the first glorying in their delegat-
ed peace-keeping power, and the others
only harmless because helpless. When
the chief was dead he was quickly borne
down by the side of White Earth River,
where four months ago he first knelt to
the sway of the military, and there
cared for with the customary savage
ceremony by his few remaining friends.
Crazy Horse was about So years old,
relative of Red Cloud, and an abo-
rigine from head to foot He was of
medium height, slender and wiry build,
and as mean looking Indian as ever
knocked for admission to the happy
hunting ground. However, a bullet
wound through his face received in bat
tie, added much to his brutal and
treacherous look. He has known moth
ing but fight and maraud since boy
hood, and was last seen at the agencies
about twelve years ago. Among the
hostiles he has been considered the peer
Of Sitting-Bull in influence, and vastly
that old chieftain's superior in out and
out bravery, devilishness and unrest.
He has done more to retard the settle
ment of this frontier, by his deeds Ct
blood and pillage, than all other war
chiefs combined. The taking off of
such savage will result in more real
good than decisive battle, for it is he
who has sown continual dissention and
inspired atrocity in others, even on the
heels of defeat.-Cheyepa'ae Sun.

A Girl in Boys Clothing.

A small, stout girl, apparently about
IA years old, was brought to the Third
District Station House last evening in
male attire. She gave her name as Sal
lie Robinson, of Seaville, Cape May
County, New Jersey. On being ques-
toned she stated that she came here for
work some weeks ago, and not meeting
with success, determined to try the ex-
pertinent of dressing in boys clothes in
order to improve her chances. She then
obtained employment at an eating-stand
in Second Street Market, receiving in
return three meals daily, and lodging
with a friend near Fifth and Noble
Streets. She quarreled with the latter,
however, and then got permission to
sleep in the market under the prOtec-
ton of the watchman. No one suspect
ed or knew of her ruse except two boys
who were acquainted with her before
she took the notion to try it. She is
perfectly satisfied with her circum-
stances, and answered the questions ask
ed her in hearty, jovial manner. She
is good-looking girl with fair com
plexion and light hair. Magistrate List

proper course to take in the ase.-PhaI-

Another Druggists Fatal Mistake.

From the neighborhood of Whitemel,
in this county, we get the particulars of
a most distressing occurrence which
took place on Thursday last, Aug. %.
The family of Mr.. Wesley Powell, a
wife and two children, were taken sick,
and DR.. H. S. Belt, the family physician,
called to see them. The Doctor left q
prescription which was taken to the
Store of Mr.. A. G.. Pritchett, at White
mel, where, besides general merchan-
disc, few family medicines are kept
for sale. Either Mr.. Pritchett, or
salesman filled the prescription, giving
morphia instead of quinine, which the
prescription called for. Mr.. Powell
carried the medicine home and admin
istered it to all three of the patients,
soon after which both the children were
seized with convulSions and died before
physician could be summoned. Mrs.
Powell was also seriously affected, and
but for the aid of stomach-pump,
would have certainly died. Mr.. Pritch-
EFT, who sold the medicine, is an intelli-
gent and worthy citizen, and man of
wealth and influence in the community.
No one will regret the unfortunate mis-
take more than he dOes.-DanCtl5e Va.)

Sitting.Bull a College Graduate.

The New York World's correspondent
at Fort Walsh, British Columbia, has
the following about Sitting-Bull: In
conversation, after dinner, with one of
the police-officers the other day, he
said Sitting-Bull was a native of Fort
Garry, and an alumnus of St. Johns
College. These statements Sitting
Bull himself afterwards confirmed.
Several old traders who have had look
at him declare they remember him well
as Charlie Jacobs, half-breed who at
tended the college in it's infancy, thirty
years ago. This young Jacobs was an
Objibway, and was remarkably in
telligent lad, with ambition to become
a "Big Injun.n He disappeared from
Fort Garry about 1858. When asked
by police-officer if he recollected any
thing about Fort Garry, Sitting-Bull
laughed heartily, and said he knew the
principal people there-among others,
Donald A.. Smith, a Hudson Bay factor
James Sutherland, and Father Vary,
now missionary at the Sault. He was
also well acquainted with the late James
Ross, Chief-Justice of the Riel-Lepine
Government in 1S69-'7O. Indeed, he
says they were boys together. Ross
was half-breed who, after graduating
at St. Johns College, went to Toronto
University, where he was gold medalist.
Sitting-Bull says his father, Henry
Jacobs. was at one time employed as an
interpreter by Father Prouix on Man.
