Mr.. Res, assisted BY the St. Paul Pioneer.
Press, is still pursuing the victims of Gen.
Hammond with y vindictiveness which is
rqualled only by that of his chief. He pub
hshes a list of alleged false vouchers which
he says will not be brought to trial, be.
cause they are outlawed. Mr.. Rea has no
means of knowing that these are alleged
vouchers, except upon such unreliable In.
formation as is furnished him by those who
IRE paying him for his dirty work. The
Bismarck Tribune gives the measure of the
young mar pretty correctly in the follow
ing item
That young and frlsky correspondent,
MIR. John A. Rea, who signs himself Man
,lan," in the st. Paul Pioneer Press. took
occasion to do up the Brooks homicide for
his paper 10 a most heartless and unfeeling
way. Mr.. Rea has mueh to learn in jouru.
alism, and one of his earliest lessons is to
look upon death with Difference, and guage
81 mans misfortunes by their value as an
item. -. .sz
His chief characteristic. his ability 10 lose
sight Of the truth for the sake of furnishing
d news item, was recognized by US some
time ago. TO bolster up the waning cause
of Gen. Hammond, Mr.. Rea telegraphs from
Bismarck that the government actions
against DR.. Livingston have been postponed
until next spring, upon the affidavit of the
counsel for the defendant" He gives this
upon the assumed authority of Judge West,
of Yankton. We do not believe Mr.. Rea
ever received any such information from
Judge West. because the judge is man Of
truth, and he knows that DR.. Livingston's
counsel declined peint blank to make any
afadavits for a postponement of the trial.
They were ready for it and anxious that
it should go ahead. If the Pioneer
Press will take pains to 60 back of the re.
turns of its correspondent, 1t will find more
c%!ookedness there than ia the Indian Ring"

Ever since the 80 called reformatory worl
of Messrs. Schurz, Hayt and Hammond wa
begun in the Sioux country there have beel
numerous symptoms of uneasiness amonf
the various bands of that tribe and at time
loud rumors of impending outbreaks hav,
come across the border. While all of thes,
reports were. greatly exaggerated from the
basis of facts not alarming in ordinary times
the inference to be drawn from their fire.
quency is that the Indian mind was in
disturbed condition. Various were the
causes which brought this about, not the
least of which was the sweeping changes
made among agents, traders and employees
and the substitution of men entirely n
acquainted with the manner of managing
Indians. To this was added the unsettled
state Of affairs at the Spotted Tail and Red
Cloud agencies, e%aRendered by the promise
of the president that they should move
back into the interior and augmented by
the unceasing disturbing efforts of the
enmissaries of spectators, who wanted
them moved beyond the reach Of interfer-
ence with their money making schemes.
They we're finally moved, but are not yet
permanently settled in their new homes.
Now comes the sanguinary fate of q large
number Of Cheyenne prisoners. at Fort
Robinson to augment the uneasiness which
has not been quiet in the Sioux country
since last spring. The effect is thst old
apprehensions are aroused and many i'm
agine that We are on the eve of . general
Indian wal. The reported approach ofSit-
ting Bull's claus from the north renders
the situation even more alarming than it
would be were none bu: agency Indians
suspected of hostile designs. We have yet
seen nothing beyond wild and untraceable
to indicate the tendency of an out.
break, and as such rumors will at times
arise wherever wild indians arc copgrega-
ted. any opinion upon the present emer-
gency would just now be premature. The
10 that matters will settle down
in aSsh0rt time and that the Indians will
conclude that they cannot afford to sacrifice
40 easy subsistence for the sake Of q little
revenge.

A Little Beggar's Charity.

good moral Is told by the Pittsburg
Telegraph. A young man who had been
on three days debauch wondered into
the dining room of hotel, where he
was well known, sat down, and stared
moodily into the street. Presently a
little girl of about ten years came in
and looked timidly about the room.
She was dressed in rags, but she had a
sweet, intelligent face that could scarcely
fail to excite sympathy. There were
five persons in the room, and she went
to each begging. One gentleman gave
her a five cent piece, and she then went
to the gentleman spoken of and asked
! him for a penny, adding, 81 haven't had
anything to eat for a whole day." The
gentleman was out of humor, and he
said Grossly: "Don't bother me: go
away Il haven't had anything to eat
for three days" The child opened her
eyes in shy wonder and stared at him a
moment, and then walked slowly
toward the door. She turned the knob,
and then after hesitating few seconds,
walked up to- him, and gently laying
the five cents she had received on his
knee, said with tone of true girlish
pity in her voice, If you haven't
had anything to eat for three days, you
take this and 60 and buy some bread.
Perhaps ] can get some more some

the. roots &of 81 his hair, and lifting the
Hsistar of Charity In Rhisk arms, kissed
her two or three times in delight
Then he took her to the persons in the
room, and to those in the corridors, and
in the Office, and told the story and
asked contributions, giving himself al
the money he had with him. He sue

to, but he only asked what they took
him for, and looked offeHded. 1t was
noticed that there was bad crowd in
the rear car, and SO q boy, who desired
to be messenger, was given a little
practice. He was told to go into the
back car and find Senator Hide, and
borrow his cork-screw. Senator Hide
is Methodist deacon, and he was
seated by the side Of a good Baptist
lady, and they were talking of pros
pective revival in the good work to
which they had both enlisted for life.
! When very much interested in each

elbow of Senator Hide and said: F" A

Driven to Theft.
New York Herald i

2 81 never stole penny s worth before"
The speaker was Samuel Owens, a
journeyman painter, who by the press
-ure of hard times had been driven to
steal bag of -four for. the relief of his
suffering family. Though in the prime
of life, and willing to do any manner of
work, the poor fellow had sought in vain
for employment, and, despairing of i'm
mediate help, committed crime on Sat
urday night for which he was locked up
on Sunday, and brought up for exam
ination in the Harlem Police Court yes
terday morning. The facts of the theft
were simply these. After day of
hunger and dependency Owens and his
wife had crouched down by the fire and
sought to warm their hearts by the ruddy
blaze; but while the fickering light
brought comfort to their eyes, their ears
were assailed by the piteous means of
three little children, not yet so we'll in
ured to suffering as their parents. This
was too much for the unhappy father.
Kissing his wife, whose efforts to hush
the childish clamors proved altogether
vain, he patted the little ones tenderly
on the head, and saying that they should
not go'another day without food, rushed
from the room without knowing where
to look for aid. In few moments, how

several bags of flour. Though not long
after eight o'clock the well lighted side
walk was almost deserted, and sudden
impulse prompted the man to seize one
of the bags and carry it to the wretched
home he had Just left. Yielding to the
temptation he, grabbed the prize and
started at full speed down the street.
But the watchful eye of an officer had
witnessed the theft, and Owens was
quickly overtaken. When arrested he
burst into tears, and seemed utterly
broken down. The patrolman escorted
his prisoner to the station house in East
Eighty-eighth street, whence, after q
days confinement, he was taken to the
Harlem Police Court yesterday morning.
At the bar of Justice Owens recounted
| his misfortunes in detail, and assured
I Judge Duffy that nothing but the terri
BILE strait to which he himself and those
dear to, him had been reduced would
have driven him to take penny s worth
of anything not his own. The magis.
trate believed the prisoners story, and
said that justice would not, in his
opinion, be compromised by the dis.
missal of the charge. Furthermore, he
directed Mr.. o. Donnel1, the grocer, who
appeared against Owens, to give the mar
a bag Of flour and send the Bill to him
O'Donnell said that,he had no wish tt

the Judge that he would make the maj

8 Trna Story.


There were two sisters living in Maine
both were pretty girls; one was twen-
ty-two and the other nineteen. Times
were hard with them, and they resolved
to go to Boston, with the vague idea
that they should find something to do.
The Portland steamship landed them on
the wharf; their whole fortune was one
dollar-that and their pretty faces.
They went to respectable hotel; but
dollar will not keep two persons very
long, and they asked the landlord to di-
rect them to a respectable place, where
they could work for their living.
Luckily he was an honest man, and
luckily he had heard of the Temporary
Home for Working Women at No. 327
Tremont-street; unluckily, he advised
them to stop on their way atan intelli-
gence Office. For, while they were de-
scribing the sort of place they wanted, a
woman accosted them. She knew of a
place where they would be very COM
Portable, have plenty of money, and need
do no work. Luckily, again, our two
girls were not as simple as country girls
sometimes are. They knew all that this
meant, and they ran out of the Office and
reached the Home in pitiable state OF
terror, almost afraid to trust any one
after such an experience. But they
had fouGd the right place. The matron
received them kindly; they stayed a
little time at the Home, paying for their
food and lodging by working, and learn.
ing, under the excellent discipline OF
the Matren, the habits of order and
cleanliness which make good servants
Then places were found for them. This
happened six months ago; and the lady
to whom one of the girls was sent lately
called to tell the Matron that she valued
her servant very highly. What woulo
have become of these two pretty girls
alone in a great city, penniless, without
even an acquaintance-if there had no
been such place ready to receive
them as the Home? And such cases oc
