npTrcPJNG A MURDERER,

Americans will be interested in know
ing that the capture of the murderer
LEROY, who so long hid from the Eng
lish police, was really made by an Am
erican detective, now in the employ OF
the Scotland yard people here, Mr..
Jarvis. This gentleman was for some
years employed at the house OF A. L.
Stewart & Co., in New York, and there,
it would seem, gained the shrewdness
which has so seasonably been displayed
in Lefroy's capture. 1t will be noted as
a sign Of his natural shrewdness that in
searching Lefroy's room he actually
took of his coat and climbed up the
chimney, in order to be sure nothing
was hidden there. No English detect
i've in the world would have thought OF
such thing, or would have done it, had
he thought Of it.-Cur. ~. Y. paper.

NORI,E IMPULSE,

The proposal of the workingmen OF
London to erect a monument to Dean
Stanley has met with enthusiastic re-
sponse. The artisans of both East and
West End declare that in the dean they
have lost their best friend so the work
ingmen's clubs are bent on honoring his
memory and displaying their regard by
a token totally independent OF any other
tribute which may be set on foot. The
memorial stone is to be OF the finest
granite-a simple pyramid - and the
dedicational inscription is to be carved
on the side facing Westminster abbey,
while on the other side quotations from
the poets will illustrate the intention OF
the workmen to commemorate the first
example of sympathetic feeling which
has ever existed between dignitary OF
the English church and the working
classes of England.

A FRIENDLY CHIEF KILLED.

Spotted Tail was killed by Grow Dog,
under the following circumstances: On
the day of the murder, Spotted Tail
visited Acting Agent Lebar, at the agen-
cy of the Spotted Tail Indians, to re-
ceive instructions regarding his con-
templated visit to Washington, he hav-
ing been selected as one Of the repre-
sentatives of the Sioux nation at the
coming conference at the national cap
ital. He was urged to start at once, as
letter at the Indian office directed him
to report to Agent Andrews at Yankton
Agency no later than the 8th inst, as
the delegation from the Pine Rifle Agen-
cy was expected to meet Rosebud Agen--
cy on the evening of the 9th. Spotted
Tail concluded to wait until next morn
ing and 90 with Red Cloud delegates to
Yankton Agency. This arrangement
having been determined upon, Spotted
Tail desired to have talk with his
people that afternoon and receive an ex-
preston of their views upon subjects to
come before the conference
Bidding Lebar "gOod-by," and saying
he would call at the Office in the even
ing to receive any further instructions
there might be, Spotted Tail left for the
Indian village to confer with his people.
An interview was held with the Indians.
They had big talk and q feast, and the
council broke up, Spotted Tail mounted
his horse and started homeward. The
Indiana were scattering in all directions
with the noted chief somewhat in ad-
vance of the others, he being the first
out of the lodge. After leaving the
council lodge, Grow Dog was seen ap-
preaching Spotted Tail. He had his
wife with him. He got out of the wag-
on, and was stopping down when Spot
ted Tail rode up to him. He suddenly
rose up and shot Spotted Tail through
the left breast. The chief fell from his
horse, but rose to his feet and made
three or four steps toward Grow Dog,
endeavoring to draw his pistol. He
then reeled. and fell backward dead:
Crow Dog jumped into his wagon and
drove off at full speed toward his camp,
some nine miles distant. The acting
agent at once issued orders for the arrest
OF Crow Dog, under a paragraph in the
treaty of 1858, which renders him amen.
able to the white mans laws. In com
pliance with these orders, the Indian
police accomplished the arrest, and the
murderer was sent to Fort Niobara
where he is awaiting trial.

Value Of the Pledge.

sstuN VS. sN"e'
I spent some years within the
limits of tho old Pine Tree
state, the land Of stringent liquor laws,
in which respect she towers head
and shoulders above her sister states.
II was during my first sojourn there that
l was first tempted TO join an obligation
society. Not that / felt myself in need
of its teachings at the time, but through
mere boyish curiosity. But now as l
grow older / often look back to that
act, and have come TO consider 1t the
one bright star which shines out clear
from among the chaos and darkness OF
an almost wasted life. 1t has been my
shield armor in battling with intemper.
ance and its thousand and one attending
evils which follow closely in its wake.
In following out successfully the career
of q soldier, even in blessed times like
these of peace, many is the temptation
I have had to resist, when, after march,
ing hard all day, and perhaps far into
the night, through sleet and snow, or
broken broken FAST Ssrar roff the pdgt patn4eE1Rf
hours, and even then only on few
ounces of raw, rank salt pork and few
pieces of hard bread, come into camp
tired and hungry, cold and shivering;
and as we were not allowed to build
camp. fire for fear Of attracting the notice
of some prowling Comanche, or repre-
sentative of some other tribe OF "ye
noble red man," the next best thing was
to get to bed. You can imagine how
pleasant that must be, especially when
that bed is the cold, damp ground, your
clothes being wet through, and blankets
from being carried on your back IN
pretty much the same condition. The
boys" invariably prepare themselves
or an emergency of this kind. by filling
their canteens with that which ought to
be water, but is not, at some wayside
groggery past which their line OF march
during the day has brought them. Often
have seen the same men bartering
their last garment and even their ratlons,
in exchange for the fiery draught. They
partake of this, their panacea for all
ailments and complaints, quite freely;
the more disagreeable the weather, the
more they drink, and are soon rendered
unconscious and apparently happy and
contented with the world at large, i'm
pervious alike to hunger, wind and rain,
while 1, through total abstinence, am
deeply susceptible to it all, and feel too
keenly the cravings ola hunger can
not appease, or the warmth ! cannot
court, but must get through the long,
long, weary night as best I may. 1t is
during moments like these that find
myself wavering, but only for moment,
between deadening my senses in the
cup, or struggling on, conscious OF
every pang. The teachings of that dear
little lodge away down in Maine, and the
oath subscribed to there, have proved
invulnerable, and have carried me trl-
umphantly through the trying ordeal,
and now some years have passed since
have been so sorely tempted. Those
days are as wildly pictured upon my
memory as though it only happened but
yesterday. All honor to Maine, say l.
for one.- Carr. Detroit Free Press.

WOMEN SCARCE,

Women are very scarce, apparently, IN
Winnipeg, the proportion visible in the
day time being about fifty men to one
woman. never saw so many men IN
all my life. On the streets during the
day il is nothing but one continual
stream Of men, men, men, with hardly
woman to be seen, but in the evening,
about 7, they begin to swarm out. Ladies
of the better class here dress elegantly,
much better and with better taste than
in some other Canadian cities. But
taking the whole turn out, ofall classes
I never saw such wretched crowd OF
females. There are very few pretty
girls, a. few. shlo6king ones who
spoil their app arance by over-dresslng.
The hali-breed girls to me look most
bewitching and wicked, but some OF
them are hideous.-Er.

Hon. VIM. T.. Frye Nominated Tor
limited States senator.

At a caucus of the republicans OF the
Legislature held yesterday Hon. VIM T.
FRYE of Lewiston was nominated as candi T.
date for United States Senator TO fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation OF MT
Blaine. The nomination was made by az
clamation and Mr.. Frye will receive the solid
republican vote next Tuesday in the Legis-
lature and be elected The Lewiston Journal
of last evening says
The prompt and unanimous nomination OF
Mr.. FRYE. is fitting tribute to our distln-
guished Congressman. who has represented
this district and the State with so great ahil-
ity and success. Mr.. Frye's promotion to
the Senate will be regarded everywhere as
Just and appropriate, and will be especially
gratifying to his associates in Washington.
Mr.. FRYE was born in Lewiston, Sept ,,
1881, and is consequently now in his 50tll
year. He graduated from Bowdon in 1850,
studied law and was admitted to the bar, and
practiced first in Rockland and subsequently
in Lewiston. At the bar he proved himself
one of the ablest and most successful lawyers
in the State-having no superior as jury
advocate.
In 1860 he was elected to the Maine Legis
lature from Lewiston. and served two terms
successively--Mr Blaine being at the time
Speaker of the House. He was Mayor OF
Lewiston in 1865 and 1866. He was also
elected to the Legislature in 1866, and while
member was chosen Attorney General OF
the State, which position he filled for three
years with great ability and success.
He was elected to Congress from this dis
trict in 1870, and was reelected in 1872
1874. 1876, 1878 and 1880. In Congress he
speedily proved himself one of the abiest de-
baters the floor of the House. and has
been for some time recognized one of the
republican leaders While in Congress he
has devoted much time to the advocacy OF
republican principles on the stump in various
parts of the Union, and has won for himself
reputation of being one Of the most elo
quent speakers in the country.
In the Senate, Mr.. FRYE will prove
worthy successor to Mr. Blaine, and will re
fleet honor on the party and the state which
he has been called upon to represent Mr.
Fryes election will neccssitate his resignation
of the position of Representative to Congress.

In making up his Cabinet President
Garfield has endeavored to make it repre-
sentative Of the republican party rather
than Of any single element IN the party.
The various leading shades ofparty opin-
ion find themselves represented therein.
Webelieve this the wisest course the Presi-
dent could pursue. Had he undertaken to
run his administration on the narrow idea Of
cutting off from representation and con-
troll all but single segment OF the party,
he would inevitably have failed in Sc
curing that unity of support in the rcpub-
lican ranks which above all things is es-
sential to the success Of his administration.
Forming his Cabinet as he has he rec
ognizes that there are differences Of opin-
ion among republicans on questions OF
policy, but no differences so great "a to
exclude from consideration and recogni-
ton the varying elements which his Cabl-
net represents These differences are not
Of vital character. They are such as
are mostly of secondary character, upon
secondary questions, and which will be
relegated 10 their proper place when
greater and more momentous questions
are pressed upon the attention OF the new
Cabinet.
In his inaugural address. the President
has presented prominently the most i'm
portant matters with which his administra-
ton will deal. II embodies republican
policy in harmony with the national re-
publican platform. We hear no dissent
by any republican to the views and ex-
pressions of the President. 1t strikes all
favOraby. no matter whom their first
choice may have been for President, OF
what special and peculiar views they may
have held on political affairs while acting
with the republican party. 1t has brought
all varying opinions into accord with it.
self and the President. SO we take it il
will be with the Cabinet. They will be
welded together in support of all funda-
mental republican principles. while what
there is really good and important in each
special element. peculiar to itself. will
quietly go to add to the harmony and sue
cess of the administration and the pros.
perity and glory of common country.
The great republican party halls with
pleasure the promise in the makeup OF
the Cabinet that the new administration
will aim at the unity of the party rather
than its ACKNOWLEDGMENT. and be guided
by broad and liberal principles rather
than by narrow and repellent opinions
and policies.
