BARTLEY CAMPBELL, the play

years [ embarked in newspaper life
in Pittsburg, whe I served quite a
time with the pencil and note book.
1t was hard work, but it was a la
Dor of love, and I enjoyed it thor
oughly. From Pittsburg [ went to
Cincinnati, where | became repor-
ter on the Enquirer, and thence to
New Orleans, where [ published
the Southern Monthly Magazine, a
journal of police literature, which,
being unable to compete with
northern periodicals of the same
character, was obliged to suspend.
I then became the Official reporter
of the Louisiana House of Repres-
enUatives, and afterward returned
to Pittsburg to take the position Of
editor-in-chief of the Paper, a Dem
ocratic daily. 1t was while serving
in that capacity in 1872 that |. New

GAY OLD SPOTTED TAIL.

From the parties who We're III
town Friday from the hoseDud
Agency. some additional QaTtlcularS
of the killing Of Spotted Tail and
the causes of the tragedy were OBJ
tanned. 1t seems that there is big
scandal at the bottom of the affair.
The distinguished chieftain, like
some other men of national renown,
IS not remarkable for his chastity.
Though he had several wives of his
own, he is credited with from 100 to
$50 Opponents, the wives of other
Indians being the partners of his
shame upon these occasions. His
love affairs were only temporary,
his victims being returned in the
course of time to their husbands,
and wounded honor cured by few
presents. Spotted Tails last exploit
was with the wife of a member of
his band named Thigh. He took
her from her home to some remote
summer resort upon the reser-
walton, and detained her three
or four days. Upon returning her
to her injured husband, Spotted
Tail grandly informed that individ-
ual that his SquaW was returned to
him unframed, and, as a recompense
for his temporary deprivation of her
society, Thigh could select four OF
the best horses in his (Spot's) herd.
This was tempting offer, for the
old chief was well fixed for horse
flesh, but Thigh did not see fit to ac-
cept the proposition, and there were
ominous murmurs among his friends
over the transaction. Crow Dog,
who held a grudge against Spotted
Tail for killing his friend, Big
Mouth, few years ago, sided with
Thigh. At the feast mentioned in
the official report of the murder, the
immoral habits of Spotted Tail were
freely discussed, and after the
broke up Crow Dog deter
mined on an interview with the
offender. AS he approached that
Spotted Tail reached for
his pistol. Crow Dog was too quick
for him, and sent bullet through
his breast before he could draw.
After being shot Spotted Tail made
an Intellectual attempt to return the
compliment and fell dead in the
effort This is the Indian version of
the murder.-PTeSS and DGketjG7l,

"Why, because he has been work

AT this one of the men began to
chuckle. Then the chuckle ran in
to a laugh, and finally he had to sit
down.

1t Invites the Most Critical
Analysis.

The way the treasury contingent fund
went in the good days of Rutherford
Hays and John Shermon is shown by a
Washington despatch, which says: A
few days since, the committee having in
charge the custodian's Office, found on the
books a charge of forty five boxes of cand-
les. Knowing that candles are never
used in the department, the committee
sent for the custodian and asked him to
explain the charge. The latter very frank
ly Informed the committee that the charge
though SO entered on the books, was not
for candles, but for lunch given by Sec
retary Sherman TO the employees of the
department, just previous to the meeting
of the Chicago convention. The lunch
was set at the Sherman house" 1t was
certainly kind and hospitable upon the
part of Mr.. Sherman to treat the Treas
ury Department boys. but as they weren't
Esquimaux, why did he feed then, ON tai
iowl The Secretary didn't manage this
bit of board-bill as deity as he disposed
OF that contracted for his friends in the
Chicago convention That was left to
Charles Foster to pay. The late Secreta-
ry of the Treasury would have avoided a
small scandal if he had saddled this lunch
bill upon some other fellow. He prefer
red however, to distribute the cost, and
so every one of $4,000, 600 Americans
helped John as host upon thi. happy oc-
casion.

is likely to be a change in the perpetual
black stockings for girlettes, which caused
SO much controversy in this column
some weeks ago. 1t is said that stock
ing of different color for each leg will
be worn; that is, one black and ore white
or one blue and one orange. | am in
clined to think the effect will be anything
but pleasing besides, this kind of thing
will probably be adopted by children Of
more mature years, and We should have
odd gloves, odd sleeves, and all kinds OF
GU ,er contrasts of color. l remember a
pretty girl once going 70 fancy ball as a
"magpie," and the effect was very pleas
ing; but if everybody was to go about as
magpies, am afraid we should vote it a
nuisance.

BEnIIS.-Prinoe Bismarck's indisposi-
ton compels him to continue restricting
labors to minimum and to perform them
in recumbent position.
ruy1s AND THE CHANCELLOR
NJ. Saint -Genest has written an article
in the Figaro, in which he undertakes 70
answer the question, now so frequently
asked, what Prince Bismarck thinks about
Tunisi NJ. Saint -Genest says he cannot
guarantee the e1ac, words employed, but
he i. fully prepared to affirm the authen-
ITCHY of tbs opinions expressed one
evening at a certain dinner the oonversa-
ton turned upon Tunis. The french
were mer:ilessly criticised, and dark anu
,;ons were made to the Machiavelism OF
the Prince. who was supposed to be bid
;no his time. The Chancellor put In his
word. declaring that it WAS nothing OF the
kind What he said he meant, and IT is
not his fault if statesmen did not believe
him. When, for a9ample, he saw Napo-
leon Ill. at Biarritz he was sincere IN his
offer of an alliance, but the Emperor did
not understand him. After Sedan he
held out a hand to Russia and the same
thing occurred. Hence the subsequent
alliance with Austria, who had now for
gotten the past. A compliment having
( be,n addressed TO the Prince on his skill
in creating breach between Italy ana
France, he replied he did not want these
Powers 20 to WAT So long as France re-
Trained from attacking Germany, he had
no desire TO surround her with enemies
Indeed, his only object in that affair had
been to see France looking in another d.
rection than the Rhine. A conquered
nation always thought of those who had
beaten it until it beat some one else
Tunis thus supplied an excellent diversion
and more so, as the French could now see
|
what the alliance of England and the graf
itude Of Italy were worth. Prince Bis
marck protested that he was anxious to ar
rive at an understanding with France; but
when France asked him for AlSace, she
asked fer what he could not obtain from
the Sovereign, the army or the nation
He was not responsible for the Versailles
protocol, which had in reality been impos-
ed by the military party. At Versailles
he was not free. The staff was intoxlcat-
ed with victory. He could not let out
what he would have done, but it could
have been something else. For the last
ten years the French had repeated that
he was their enemy. 1t was true that he
had sausht alliances against them, but
simply because they were always talking
of revenge. Far from desiring to proiong
hostilities, he was anxious to put an end
TO them and the war in Tunis had pre-
sented am excellent opportunity. Not
only would he let France take Tunis, but
he would find her something else if she
would only be sensible.
