A SIOUX SCANDAL.
Young Np0tted Tall ElOping with
the Wife of Stranger Horse.
Onlohn Herald.

a scandal among the highest circles
of the Sioux nation has just been agitat-
ing aboriginal society at Rosebud Agen-
cy. The particulars are given in the
Herald by a gentleman who came from
the place day or two ago. Some days
since young Spotted Tail, son of Spotted
Tail. the renowned chief of all the
Sioux, took advantage of the absence of
Chief Stranger Horse on a hunting ex-
pedition, to persuade Stranger Horses
sQuaw to elope and live with him. They
remained several days in young Spots
tepee without interruption. Stranger
Horse returned from the hunt to find his
fire gone out, his squaw-he had but
one-dep4rted, and his tepee desolate.
Gathering his friends about him, he
started out with his rife, threatening the
life of the chief who had brought shame
into his household. The affair was re-
ported to the agent, who summoned the
faithless wife and her paramour to the
agency, where they were confronted
with the wronged husband.
Young Spotted Tail appeared to have
passed through long debauch, and the
woman held her head in the presencs of
her husband. When the agent demand
ed of young Spot why he had commit
ted this wrong the culprit gave the same
lanentable excuse that was offered by
the first Of the race of men: "Shc led me
into it. said the wayward chief. After
a full hearing of the case, in which the
agent acted as a mediator, it was decided
that the wounded honor of Stranger
Horse should be healed with the gift Of
an American horse and number of vaIu-
able articles, and that he should take
back his wife and live with her again.

SEVERE WEATHER IN VIRGINIA.
An Aged Woman and her Grandson
Frozen TO Death in their Cabin.

A dispatch from Middleburg, Lou
don county, Va, says: "The snow in
this vicinity has been on the ground for
the past three weeks to the depth of forty
two inches on a level. 1t has drifted
over the fences, hiding them from view,
and blocking up the roads entirely. The
farmers have been obliged to cut down
shade trees near their farm houees and
use them for firewood, as the snow pre-
vented them hauling from the woods
Great suffering is SAID to have prevailed
among the poor people. In one section
near the fOotof the Blue Ridge, just where
the Leesburg turnpike crosses the noun
tains, an aged woman lived with her
young grandson in a small house . mile
away from the nearest dwelling. She
was completely shut in by the snow
drifting down from the mountain, and
for several days was without food
Being reduced to starvation, and know
ing that any relief party would not be
able to find her house, she cut a hole
through the roof and thrust long pole
through the snow with gayly colored
shawl on the end. 1t was seen by
persons at distance, who informed an
old gentleman living two miles away
He at once ordered 8 colored man TO
mount horse and take with him food
and fuel. The man rode toward the
house until the horse was stuck in the
snow, and then could go no further. He
managed with difficulty to get back
home, and his employer summoned out
all the hands on the place. They got as
near TO the old woman's house as they
could, and then worked with shovels
until they cut through into the cabin,
but they were too late. The woman
and her grandson were both frozen to
death.

THE DEATH OF BLACK Prince
Near Warrenton Junction, Va, there
lived in a cabin by himself an old negro
named Hannibal Brown. He was brought
to this country from Africa about the
year 1920 He has always said his
father was a King who wore bright
Jewels and owned many men. He was
emancipated before the war, and was
one of the few colored men who owned
slaves, and we believe he is the only
exception throughout the entire South
who retained and exercised all the rights
of ownership after the war was over.
He was 8 blacksmith aud one of the
most skilled of workmen. He was de-
voted to the cause OF the South, and dur
ing the war would not shoe horses for
the Federal soldiers, but whenever they
applied complained of pain in his back
and went to bed. On account of this
devotion, which he did not try to con
ceal, he was imprisoned for several
months in the Old Capitol at Washing
ton. The bitter cold weather which we
have just had found the old man very
feeble, and with no one TO sec that he was
properly cared for. He did not like
company, and would not permit any one
TO live with him. So when the sun rose
clear and cold on Wednesday morning,
the 29th of December. it peeped through
the cracks of old Hannibals cabin and
found him sitting in chair all alone
by the smouldering embers OF his fire

RATES,

While no discrimination would be Just
between individuals travelling the same dis
tances, or shipping freight from and to the
same pof.s4s, yet the power granted rail-
roads liz tneir charters, Ia the adjustment OF
freight and passenger tariffs, to discrimi-
nate In favor OF through business, and in
favor Of long over short distances, is essen
tial to their successful operation. Further,
railroads may aud do carry freight without
injustice or damage TO any one, to and from
competitive points. cheaper than between
points not competitive. Suppose the peo-
pie at Lebanon say that the rates on coal
from the mines or from Louisville are too
high; that they are more than consists with
fairly remunerBtige profit, and thus they
operate largely against the consumers OF
this article OF fuel. This Is sound reason
ing, and II the railroad company, con-
vinced that the grounds Of complaint are
well taken, institutes measures to lower the
rates for the sake of even justice all around,
no one will say that It is not fair or right.
But let 1t be urged that the road carries coal
from the mines to Louisville, o longer dis
tance, cheaper than to Lebanon. At the
first blush this would seem unjust, but
when the reasons are understood st could
not be 90 Fegardeds If Lebanon gets a coal
rate fair to her, and only fairly remunera-
tive TO the railroad FOR its transportation,
her people ought to be satisfied. When Ii
is known that coal cannot be taken from
