THE Indians are in the habit of CIV
ing names to their braves founded ON
incidents, accidents, acts, events, and
often for fanciful resemo lances. Thus
the famous Sitting Bull, whose former
name was Lame-Deer, was named
after an incident. He went out one
day and shot young he-builalo with
n mystic white cross on It's forehead.
BY prodigious effort of strength he
carried it into camp on his shoulder,
but sank exhausted at the lodge door
in sitting position. When thus seen
nc was named SittingBull, and has
been so called ever since.

been complimented by the lower
branch of the legislature, IN support of
his position ON the silver bill. twill
lie remembered that Mr.. Bedford was
very defiant, and said that the silver
question was not one for parties to de-
eide or NEEDLE with. One republican
member Of the legislature who voted
for the resolution in support of Bel
ford, said he was opposed to that gem
tleman for any position, and did not
want to help TO make any political
capital for him if il could be avoided,
but this was matter upon which not
only all personal riyalries should give
way, but all party lines rs well. He be-
heved silver to be threatened, and

That Reminiscent Tree.

In Abner's summer garden is tree which
is in delicate state of health and some
thing should be done for it. Surgical and
medical aid is absolutely necessary. The
dead limbs should be Topped off and the
wounds salved over with some protective
mixture that would exclude the atmos-
phere; the body and roots should have
copious fresh aqueous appliances, and fer
tilizing liquids should be literally admin
istered. Alkalescent solutions might be
efficacious, and alkali in mild form-ashes,
for instances fertilizer. But the kind
of lie used about that historical (?) pomo-
logical non-producer has evidently been
damaging. First, it was asserted that 1t
was planted in the late Col. w. w. Seaton's
yard by John G. Calhoun; then again the
names of Henry Clay and Daniel Webster
were given as the horticulturists to whom
it owes its now precarious existence. 1t
is, to all appearances, pear tree; yet 1t
has been referred to as the large apricot
tree;" and, indeed, alkali would be well
come change for the lies that have been APP
piled to it.
1t possibly is unfortunate that the ex-
Commissioner of Agriculture-him with
"the Pathological cOgnomen-William Gull
Tulane Lc Due" was not called in to
experiment upon it. By saving it he could
have redeemed some of his other expert
mental failures.
