LETTER FROM AUSTIN.
AUSTIN, NEv., August IA, 1879.


My DEAR CoL:-You have shifted so often
in the last few months that fellow can
hardly keep theIun of you. However, saw
your name in thS Reg file, and as I promised
to keep you posted as to our camp, here goes
You have seen accounts of the wounding of
Gallagher. He had close call, but under
the hands of Drs. Whom and Moore he is
slowly recovering, though he began to stack
up his checks. All else is dull, very dull, ex
cept about the lair of the " Smiler's tiger,
though the brethren of the church on the side
of the hill have it is said, cut his claws, as it
were, and he is not dangerous animal any
more. My impression is that the old sinner
'Smiler" needs praying for. And by the way,
there's an immense lot of ''fopping" going
forward up there. l attended the other night
but got somewhat tired of the service. One
stalwart engineer of rock drill prayed for
half an hour, louder than the priests of Baal.
| never could understand the sense of such
yelling, Just as though God was ''asleep or on
a journey" This drilling community needs
praying over there is no doubt, but there is
no use making so much noise about it. |
want to say to you that this straight laced,
long faced, perfect sanctifcation business, is
not appreciated by the old boys, nor girls
either, of our camp and | am of the serious
opinion that Bro. Grail was pulled before he
was ripe, and [ believe the open hearted gen
tleman from Cornwall, talks of sending him
to school for another term. Judge Logan
promises to wrestle with Satan during his abb
sence The Judge says he has "a thorn in the
and he's "russlin hard to shake it off, but
hasn't quite succeeded yet. The cares of
office hang heavy on the old man, and he for
got himself in one of his prayers last week
and introduced Shakespeare uneasy lies
the head that wears crown" but as the
brethren didn't know it was Shakespeare, it
was all right. Parson Kelly is fourishing
and beaming as usual, and SO is Father Phelan.
YOU may be annoyed at my giving you so
much religious intelligence, but you know my
zeal and interest in all that concerns the
church, and the fact is, little more of it in
troduced into our journals would do some
good | have been talking the matter over

THIS pitiable story comes from Scotland
Robert Burns, son of the poets eldest son, has
Just died in the Dumfries Hospital. He was
once schoolmaster but his school dwindled
away till he had to take refuge in the poor
house from which, about eighteen months ago,
he was transferred to the more comfortable
quarters in which he died.-Enterprise.
We hardly like to believe that story, and
yet it may be true; if SO there was serious
cause for the neglect The name of Burns
is too highly cherished in Scotland to
allow his grandson to die in charitable insti-

penury, but through his own fault, where his

THE LIES OF BILL KINGS BUMMERS.
Bill Kings bummers, who print his Min
neapolis paper in this city, continue their
assaults upon the State Fair. Bill is a
stockholder in the paper, and his newspaper
bummers have evidently pooled issues with
him on the Fair question. AS Bill and his
partners have arranged for private specu-
lation in the shape of Fair at Minneapolis,
they are resorting to the most unblushing
lies to prevent any other Fair from being
held. The Minneapolis Tribune, which is
Bill Kings echo, quotes the following re-
quisites which Bills traitor-spies in st. Paul
enunciate as essential
First-The debts must be paid off and clean
balance-sheet presented aSecond-Railroad fa-
cilities as good as last year must be secured;
and Third-The movement must have the CO.
operation of the business men, the capital, the
enterprise, intelligence, and local pride of st.
Paul. The Pioneer Press says neither of these
conditions can be met.
It may not interest these liars, but it will
gratify the public to know that two of these
alleged requisites are already amply secured
and the third will probably be arranged to-
day. .se4
The issue is made square and direct. The
traitor-spies of Bill King demand that the
people of st. Paul shall insult and spit in
the face of the State, in order to enable q
private Fair at Minneapolis, which they own
to make money. The people of st. Pau
repudiate and despise the whole brood Of
bummers, traitors and spies who are using
their Minneapolis newspaper (printed in
this city, to destroy the local interests ot
the city.

act out of unkindly feelings towards Mr..
Greenman. The boats were again put into
serviceable condition. and no more was
thought of the matter until about 5 O'Clock
in the afternoon, when Stiles entered the
bar room of the hotel, accompanied by
three or four railroad laborers, the whole
party being under the influence of liquor.
Staggering towards the bar the party or
dered drinks, which were refused by the bar
tender for the reason that they were already
badly intoxicated, in addition to which they
were informed by Mr.. Greenman that no
drunken man could obtain liquor at the bar.
The latter statement called forth torrent
of the vilest abuse and billingsgate, the
most approbious epitaphs being promiscu-
ously applied to Mr.. Greenman. They were
then ordered to leave the house, which was
reluctantly complied with, but no sooner had
the door been reached when sham row was
instituted among themselves, for the evident
purpose of creating disturbance.
Observing that q row was inevitable, the
bartender and another employe started for
the door, AMI for the two minutes following
there was the liveiest kind of a commotion.
The fight had been called for, and under the
clrcunnstances it was almost unavoidable,
while the deserved punishment of the gang
was adequate compensation for the tenn.
porary disturbance created by the ruction.

A Lie Refuted.

The Minneapolis Tribune, always jealous in
its efforts to damage st. Paul, assumes the
correctness of Bill Kings morning paper in
the city, and says:
The st. Paul chamber of commerce passed q
resolution on Monday, saying that the State
Agricultural society could occupy the grounds
of the st. Paul Driving park for fair this fall
if they wanted to, but they mustn't
expect any aid and support from
St, Paul. This is like inviting q
guest to your house and giving him your best
room, but informing him before he accepts that
nothing will be provided for him to eat. The
State Agricultural Society will not accept the
tender. It is not that kind of tramp.
The GLOBE has already explained this lie of
Bill Kings paper which it uttered in its mad
endeavor to. betray this city. 1t has been the
habit for the State society to ask certain
bonus from the locality where it is held, for
grounds, building, etc. st. Paul having in
vested some 412.0 900 in such Improvements last
year there is no occasion for asking bonus
now, and the State society does not, therefore,
ask the city for any funds. st. Paul simply
accepts the offer, and the chamber of com
merce instructed its committee to cooperate
with the State board, but to incur no liability
on behalf of the chamber. The people of st.
Paul pledge their aid and support to the State
fair with the utmost cordiality. The Tribune
is too fast in basing its Joy upon the lies Of
Bill Kings paper.

The Jury Systens.


The Elk River News has a word or two to
to say on the jury system, and it speaks
right out in meeting as follows:
The list of jurors, three dozen in number,
for the ensuing term of the United States
court is published. We notice two for
Sherburne county, Nickerson and Babcock.
The South complains, and very justly, of the
Jurors test oath which deny the right of
any man to act as juror who has taken up
arms against the United States government.

tains north of Mason and Dixon's line, that

lscan jury! and on reflection We are in

the reigning order for nearly century, and
if the past is any guarantee for the future,
it is safe to say that France will never be
plunged into civil war that the right OF the
family to rule pay be established.
The outlook for the French republic is
most hopeful. Bonapartism was killed by
. lance in the hands of q Zulu savage ; mon
arohisnn viii die with the Count de Cham
bord Orleanism has practically become a
social distinction. There seems to be moth
ing left to oppose the full consummation OF
the republican idea.
A word of sympathy for woman, once
worshiped and admired throughout the
world, is fitting. The Empress Eugenie was
once the recognized leader of fashion the
world over. When the star of empire that
gave her that position fell, she abdicated the
throne she had so long occupied and retired
to seclusion in the company of her beloved
husband and her idolized boy. The husband,
crushed by adversity, soon died. She
| nnourned him sincerely, and then, with the
true instincts of mother, sought to pre-
pare her son for the place his father had
filled, conscious that some tine he would be
called. Her last hope has been blighted
and she who once reigned supreme in the
polite world is to-day childless widow in Q
foreign land. Yet she is a woman in the
truest sense of the word woman who
commands respect and even reverence in the
days of her adversely, while she commanded
only admiration in the times of her prosper
| ity. The sorrow of a mother over the death
of her only child commands respect under
any circumstances. The sorrow of Eugene,
tho bereaved mother of an idolized son and
possible emperor, will be shared by every
true heart throughout the civilized world.

SAVED THE HANGMAN's FEES.

n Couple of Indian MsSrtterers Under Sem

of TtVO Soldiers, Etc.
FoRT KEoaH, Montana, June 8.-The dis
trict court met at Miles City, May 81, and
the first case brought before it was that of
White Neck and Elkhsad, two Gros Ventres
Indians, who shot and killed one Lynch, a
ranchman, on the Yellowstone river, some
time since. White Neck pleaded guilty to
murder in the first degree, and was sem
fenced to be hanged at Miles City, July 7, at
O'Clock. Elkhead pleaded not guilty, and
was found guilty of granddaughter, and sem
fenced to ten years. imprisonment in the
penitentiary.
The next case was of the three Cheyenne
Indians who murdered Private Leo Baader,
Company E, Second cavalry, last April.
They were named Hole-in- Breast, Strong
Neck and Black Wolf. They were. all found
guilty of murder in the first degree, and
sentenced to be hanged on July 2, at 10
o'clock. The day after they had received
their sentence (June s. they we're placed in
cells, together with the Gros Ventres, who
had been sentenced, and were so arranged
that two Cheyennes Hole -in-Breast and
Strong Neck were alone in one cell. In
the morning of the 9Th, when the jailor
went to look after them, ais was his custom,
he was Mortified to find Strong Neck hanging
by his neck by strap fastened to the ceiling
while Hole-in- Breast lay apparently asleep
in the corner; but on examination both were
found cold and stiff. From all appearances,
Strong Neck must have stood by and watch
ed the dying movements and convulsions Of
Hole-in- Breast, and, after life was extinct in
him, took him down, laid him in the corner
and then hung himself with the same strap
which was about six feet long, and which
they managed to conceal in some way from
the jailor.

The Chicago Tribune is indignant that
Hill, who killed his wifes seducer, was SEN
fenced to imprisonment in the penitentiary
for life, an equal punishment to that received
by Cox, who murdered Alston at Atlanta.
1t loudly inveighs against this sentence as a
sample of Southern justice. The Tribune
need not 60 SO far from home to find sam
pies of inequity in the treatment of crimi-
mails. It is but recently that a man who shot
down an inoffensive citizen in his own door
yard was acquitted by a Chicago court, while
few weeks afterwards two wretches were
swung from the gallows for a crime not half
as henious. The administration of justice is
as variable in Illinois as it is in Georgia, and
