CHAPTER vi,
A FEARFUL ACCUSATION.

Two strange scenes were enacted in the
ci y Of New York upon the night of the
tenth of October.
We will follow General Dumont and the
man who met him before the theatre.
The man turned sharply to the right after
leaving the portico, and traversed the street
lowing him closely, but not attempting to
address him.
Even at so late an hour of the evening,
this thoroughfare was still crowded with The
poorer and rongher classes of the popula.
ton The General and his companion were
not, therefore, observed.
After crossing Fourteenth Street, the mar
turned into narrow alley.
The aspect of this alley was utterly differ
ent to that of the thoroughfare they had JUS
left
Here all was dark and still. The slopine
roofs of old rickety houses nearly toucheC
each other the strip of sky between tht
tumble down habitatlOns seemed as narrow
as ribbon. No sound issued from the
closed doors-no light burned in the dingy
windows.
The man paused in this dismal alley, Nnt
for the first time since they had left the the
ntre he addressed the General
This is the place to which 1 was told tt
bring you, he said.
"Here!" exclaimed the General. "How
in Heavens name can be wanted here?"
at is all dark, is it not?" answered th'
man, in a low voice. "Wait and watch.
He clapped his hands three times. At thu
third stroke, light appeared in garre
window of the house beneath which the.
were standing.
This light revealed shadowy white fig
ure-the figure of woman holding can
die above her head.
'"They are ready for US, said the man
tive are expected. Follow me-"
He beckoned to the General, and wa
about to enter the house in which the ligh
had just appeared, when the General lai'

Little Big Mans Craze.


Little Big Man, formerly Northern
Sioux, belonging to Crazy Horses band,
came rushing into the agency yesterday,
his horse running at tull speed, and he
singing "warpath" song, in anude con-
dition, the blood streaming down hislegs,
and very much excited. He jumped
from his pony and ran into the agents.

formed that he could not have a gun, he
stamped the foor cried, and pulled his
hair, and being covered all over with
blood, more CHASTITY and fierce looking
savage was probably never seen in this
country. He tried to scratch match

his pipe instead of the stem. The inter
prefer having arrived, he stated in a
frantic manner that his little girl
his only child-had caught her
dress on fire a few hours before and had
burned to death. The physician, in
company with Colonel OBeirne, Mr.
Mou and the interpreter, proceeded at
once to the camp, seven miles away
where they found the child dressed in a
clean calico, amusing herself by playing
with a wax doll baby and eating strnged
dried apples. The doctor found quite
an extensive burn on her right leg ant
also on the right side of her body, but
thinks her injuries are not of seriou:
character. 1t seems that before the wo
men found out how bad the child wa,
burned they informed the Little Big
Man that she was burned up beyond al

COMMODORE WHITING, Of the United

COMMODORE WHITING, Of the United
States Navy, has scheme by which wo-
men can be introduced into politics in
this country. That any man holding the
exalted position Of a Commodore in the
United States Navy should have been
gracious enough to give his august atten-
tion to subluuary things ought to insure
to Commodore Writings scheme the
most deferential consideration. Commo.
dore Whiting is in favor of introducing
women into politics. Not simply by
giving them clerkships and playing the
part of foster-father or brevet husband
TO them, as Mr.. Cameron is supposed tc
have done to the versatile and over-mar
ried Mrs Oliver, but by letting them
vote. Commodore Whiting would have
dual government, in which men shoulC
vote for men and women vote for women
1t is better to give Commodore Whiting
plan in his own words as comments art
unnecessary. He says:
.If woman held political power it should
be by separate but co ordinate branch O.
legislature in which women alone should
act. Men should not vote for women. no.
women for men. The organization SHOULD
be distinct, but when organized each body
should cooperate with as well as exercise
check on the other; the adjudication ais,

The Tournament and Ball.

Our detailed report of the grand
tournament of the 10Th inst. is una
voidably crowded out by a press o
! political matter. The correspond.
ence, notices and other publications
of the Democratlc-C onservativ Elk
ecu,ive Committee, are of such d
nature as to demand Immediate at
tentiOn, and hence we are compel!~
ed to omit many locals of personal
and social matters that are on file.
OF the tournament we have space
only to say that it was a grand sue
cess. A splendid array of beauti-
full women and gallant men were
present. The music was excellent,
and the orations of Messrs. a. p.
Hill and E. L. Ross were eloquent
and appropriate. Eighteen knights
entered the lists, headed Ivy Capt.
Geo. Handy, the grand marshal, to
whom and his assistants much cred
it is due for the success of the occa-
sion. The fitting was so skillful
that three knights tied, having each
taken all nine of the rings. The
tie was ridden over, with the fol-
lowing result:
Mr.. Jas. Cross, first prize, crowns
ed Miss Maud Evans, Queen of
Love and Beauty.
Mr.. Dan. Gilmer, second prize,
crowned Miss Lou Hart first Maid
of Honor.
"Col." o. Z. s. Prichard, third
prize, crowned Miss Ella Atkins

sion. The affair was a most iciIci-
