A Judas Peace-Pipe.

A Judas Peace-Pipe.
The officer in command at Detroit in 1868
was man of singular qualities, yet wthal
true Christian.
As an officer he was brave in battle, stern
and fertile in emergencies, rigid in discip-
line, yet popular with his soldiers but at
the same time so affable as often almost to
merge the commandant in the gentleman,
so kind as to seem weak, such an admirer
of women and always so richly dressed that
it was written of him, " Had he been placed
in the same sphere of society he might have
been a second Chesterfield"
Toward even squaws he was so courteous
that they soon came to regard him in the
most friendly spirit, thus enabling him to
impress them with many Christian senti.
ment. He made il point to supply them
as much as possible with employment in
their particular forte, as Indian embroideries,
bead work and bucksin moccasins. Many
such things he sent across the sea to his
English friends where they were regarded
as great curiosties. In the spring of 1868
the Indians were pinched for food and many
of them came and set up their wigwams
near the fort where, until summer they
might subsist upon the patronage and char
ity of the garrison.
