An Old Story.

1t is remarkable how tenaciously an old
story clings to life. Like Banquo's ghost,
it will not down. Every one who was
there at the time remembers sad occur.
renee that took place in England in the
year 1889. At a party, number of ladies
took their yonng children With them. and
for getting good sleep. began to gossip
among themselves about their neighbors'
affairs, when some one changed the babies,
and each mother went home with some
one else's child. Some little trouble oc-
Cured, in consequence. 1t is not quite
certain that this somewhat late date for the
story is correct ; however, 1880, ~. d., is
as far back as the story has been traced.
Ever since, II has appeared, now in one
place, and next time in another About a year
ago it sprang into vigorous life in Nevada,
and at that time the funny man OF the New
York Times, whose education in ancient
history had been neglected, thinking he
had struck a new thing, wrote column on
the lamentable affair. A year has passed,
and this venerable anecdoral tramp is on
foot again, and appears once more in the
New York Times, this time in the "Topics
for the Season. column, in the issue Of
August 5. Now, however. the perplexed
mothers and mixed babies are located in
Texas. Harper's Drawer used to have a
monopoly of this literary resurrection busi-
ness but it will have to dig up older stories if
it wants to get ahead of some of the New
York dailies.

The Scotch People.

No armed legions are required to keep
them loyal. There are probably not two
thousand soldiers this day in all Scotland,
and they are there merely for recruiting
and keeping few of the fortresses in order.
The population to-day is barely up to four
millions, and will probably never be greater,
for the young men and women in the lower
walks of life emigrate TO the Colonies,
where many rise to distinction and accum-
ulate fortunes. Bengal is said to belong to
the Scotch, on account of the many offices
occupied by them. They are hard-working
people, remarkable for their skill in farm
ing and gardening; but they have mortal
aversion to sweeping streets or digging
mud; and yet they will work eighteen hours
cut Of twenty-four on their own farms in
the long days of Summer and Autumn.
There is probably not a single Scotchman
any of our large cities. Those who are too
proud to work enlist as soldiers rather than
dig Or beg. The relation between the no.
bles and the people is very friendly, espec-
tally in the Highlands, where the poorest
who bear the name of their landlords, claim
kinship with them and have the claim al
lowed. Not landlord has been shot or
murdered in all Scotland during the past
two hundred years by his tenants. Boston

A New Way to Garry the Nail

The contract for carrying the daily mail
between Yuma and San Diego has been in
trusted to Gaskill Brothers, of Campo.
A bout 100 mills of the road lies across the
California desert. Across this stretch
mails and passengers are soon to be carried
by steam. Messrs Gaskill are industrious
inventors, and haye obtained number of
patents. One of their last inventions is a
steam wagon, designed more particularly
for travelling level and sandy roads. A
working model has been made which fully
demonstrates the practical value of the in
vention. One of the brothers has just pur-
chased suitable engine and boiler at San
Francisco of about two-horse power. The
wagon will be made in their shop at Campo
It will have two driving wheels of seven
feet diameter and twelve inches width of
tire. The whole apparatus will weigh
about two thousand pounds, when supplied
with fuel and water, and ready for bust
ness. It is intended 10 make an average
speed of ten miles per hour, carrying FIVE
or six persons and moderate weight of
baggage and mails. 1t will consume about
ten gallons of water per hour. There is
plenty of fuel in the mesquit groves on the
desert, and among the willows and cotton
woods ON New river and the Colorado.
One man can manage the whole thing.
Messrs. Gaskill propose to have the new
machine making regular trips across the
desert by October 1st. Their well known
energy and enterprise makes it very GER
tain that their expectations will be fully
realized Yuma Sentinel.

THE CUSTER MASSACRE.
FACTS AND RUMoRs ABOUT THE CUSTER
e MASSACRE AS DEVELOPED AMONG THE
FIGHTING MEN OF THE PLAINS.

Letter to the Chicago Times from Bradleys Expedi-
I find that, as a general thing, officers of
the army are reversing their first verdict of
the Custer-Reno affair, and consider that
the action of the latter in the Little Big
Horn fight was cowardly in the extreme.
1t is thought that he will not come out of
the present investigation unscathed. Col.
Miles, Fifth Infantry, ard several officers
of his command recently made tour of
the battlefield, accompanied by Sioux In
dams who participated in the massacre.
They state that Custer was not more than
a mile and half from Reno and in full
view of the latter when annihilated. This
is too horrible for credence. AT any rate
they claim that the firing must have been
distinct. They say that Reno did not
charge the village, but dismounted and
threw out q lire of skirmishers when 50C
wards distant. thus enabling the bucks to
secrete their women and children and Sc
cure and mount their horses. The surprise
was complete and might have been sue,
cersful If energetically sustained. heard
that Benham begged Reno for Gods sake
| to let him go to the rescue. The gallant
Custer, in despair at the delay of and vain
ly watching for Reno and bis seven COM
panies, while be witnessed the destruction
of the remainder of his regiment, is pic
ture that must forever tarnish the escutch
con of that officer. An incident of ths
fieht which was never before in print, is re
lated by the Indians. One-half of com
pany, mounted on bay horses, attempted t
stampede, but were fred into by theil

No TRAMPs IN THE SOUTH. The tramps
do not take kindly to the Southern States
probably because the negroes do not take
kindly to them. In that region colored
people have charge of the kitchens and
larders, and they are not addicted to show
ing mendicants fayors. This, probably, is
one reason why SO few tramps are to be
found in the South. Another reason is
that the South does not afford the same
advantages for plundering and free living
that are to be found in the North. There
are no orchards and poultry roosts to offer
an easy dinner to the wayfarer who prefers
pilfering to working. There was an irrup-
ton of tramps into Louisiana last y inter du-
ring the sugar making season. They pre-
tended to be in search of work, but, when
furnished employment, they soon showed
they we're not fascinated with it. They
wandered from one plantation to another,
and became as disguised with the country
as it was with them. They were found to
be an undesirable accession to the popuia-
tion, and the New Orleans Democrat adj
vised that If there is more cotton pro-
duced than can be picked By our own peo.
Pile, it is better to let it rot away than to
bring down this visitation of tramps on us
under the delnsion that they will do any
work.

The True Story Of John Brown.

There has been great deal Of violent
expression INDUCED in regarding an hon.
est and trustworthy servant of Queen Vic
toria's, known the world over as John
Brown. This man is quiet, sober, mid
dle-aged, and conscientious bedy-seryant
of the Queen. He goes where she goes,
and where few, if any, Of her other servants
are permitted to go. Why? The majer-
sty of English servants, from the palace to
the plain residence in England are great
sticklers about their proper duties. The
butler would see the kitchen on fire, and
the cook the pantry flooded before interfer-
ing in saving the property of their employ
er, simply because it is not in their depart
ment. John Brown is above such narrow
prejudlces. If her Majesty has to 60 any
where, have anything done from cup of
tea to the packing Of trunk, from the se-
lection of horse to the buying Of a book.
John Brown is always ON hand, ready, able
and willing to bound over all difficulties of
red tape and formal departments, and get
and do these things, or see that they are
done promptly and properly. In this read
mess and untiring attendance he has In
gratiated himself with the good Queen, who
fully values bis honest energy and integri-
| ty, and who has thus made him her favor
lte gilIie.. He knows his place and keeps it.
| He earns his pay and pockets 1T.

CuRE FoK DRUNKENNEss.- This cure
consists of simple change of diet, and was
tried upon twenty y-seven persons with sat
isfactory results. The diet proposed is
farinaceous, and in the cases reported was
composed of maccaroni, haricot, beans,
dried peas and lentiles. The dishes were
made palateable by being thoroughly boil
ed and seasoned with butter or olive oil.
Breads of high glutinous nature were
used, care being taken to prevent their
being soured IN course of preparation.
10 this explanation Of the theory, Liebeg
remarks that the disinclination for alco-
holic sfimulants, after partaking of such
food, is due to the carbonaceous starch
contained therein, which renders nnnec-
essary and distasteful the carbon of liquors.

A Socialist corneyed.
From the Boston Journal.

Among the crazy Drained theorists who
appeared before the Congressional Labor
Committee at New York on Friday, was
one Robert Fl. Bartholemee, chairman OF
a delegation from the 'sSocialistic Labor
Party Of America,' who was repeatedly
nenplussed by the interrogatories on the
labor question. One of the incidents of
the session was colloquy between one of
the committee and Bartholemee concern
ing the proper division Of money earned.
The question was asked Bartholemee
whether if man earned $4,000 he should
not be paid that amount. The answer was
Certainly" Then supposing man
earns 81, 900, is lie to be paid that amountq
Certainly" again said Bartholemee.
"Then supposing that the man that earns
SIC, 900 doesn't spend but 81 900, whaS is
he to do with the other $6,00O?" $ Di-
