INDICTMENT AGAINST BRADY.
The Famous Star Reuter- Not Yet Free
of the Law.

The grand jury, thus morning, brought in
another indictment against Thomas j. Brady.
This charges that on July 18th, 1880, the de-
PENDANT made contract with j. b. Price to
carry the mail on the route from Socerro. n.
NJ, to Silver City and back seven times a
week on a schedule of 80 hours. from Aug.
LIST, 1880, to July Both. 1881, for S4l ,5S2,
and that on November Sd, 1880, the contrac-
tor paid Gen. Brady $3.50 as compensation
for awarding the contract.
The witnesses are John A. Walsh. j. b
J. b. Price, Joseph Cochran and w.
Brady. In the criminal court, today, Mar
tin Morris, law partner of Mr.. Merrick,
stated that in the case of Thomas J. Brady
and others he was requested to say for Mr..
Merrck that Montford C.. Rerdell desired to
withdraw his plea of guilty and substitute one
of not guilty, and that the special counsel
for the government consented to this being
done.
The court said Mr. Rerdell must come into
court and make the plea.
Mr.. Morris replied that he would have had
Rerdell appear in court today, but being uu-
accustomed to the practice in vogue here, did
not deem it necessary.
The court said the custom must be followed
and ordered that Rerdell be brought in on
Monday
The court said further that he thought the
best thing to be done would be to enter a
motion in arrest of judgment. Under the
laws it required at least two to commit con-
spiracy; one could not do it. As the other
defendant had been acquitted of the charge,
the court would find itself unable to pass
sentence on the plea that had been entered.
Mr.. Morris-But it is the intention of the
government to enter nolle pross on that
plea.
''You had better consult authorities" said
the judge, "and come in on Monday
The court then adjourned.

A Dispatch from Indian Agent Wilcox

SAN Francisco, June II.
dispatch from Agent Wilcox in Arizona
dated the 10th, says
Gen. Crook and staff reached here early
this morning. Col Biddle and Lieut.. Farsev
will arrive tomorrow with the Mexican
women who were rescued from the Apaches
The women will proceed to Tucson 1t is
learned from interviews with Gen. Crook and
officers in his command, that the war depart
ment did not prohibit Gen. Crook from cross
ing the line into Mexico; what it did was to
caution him to adhere closely to the terms
of the the treaty in any crossing of the line
that he might have to make. No obstacles
were thrown in Gen. Crooks way by the
Mexican authorities. On the contrary, he
speaks in the warmest terms of Gen. Scarbo,
Governor Torres and all the other officers
whom he met in Sonora.

A thousand articles might be devoted

Partisan and yet no progress be made
on this peculiar subject. There is but
one way to know about Paris and that
is to lounge through its streets. cafes,
theaters, clubs and restaurants. II is
Paris that votes death by dynamite to
all aristocrats and it is Paris which
goes wild over ballet dancers. 1t is
Paris which, at mi-careme, throngs the
boulevard to assist at the ridiculous
professions of Batignelles washerwo-
men, and the next day goes en- masse
to carry flowers to Victor Hugo in hon.
or of the anniversary of his birth. Vol
taire's apostrophe-"Ah, Parisians!
Parisians! you never dance better than
when you are dancing around the
corpses of your brothersF' is as true to-
day as when he uttered it. A Partisan
is generous and cruel, amusing and dis
gusting. polite and brutal. bon vivant

that is bad, and it is hard to say wheth-

The Youngest Drummer-Bo

The Twelfth Indiana regiment pos
sessed a pet Of whom it may be said
that he enjoyed reIOwn scarcely Sec
ond 10 that of the wide-famed Wiscon-
sin eagle. This was Little Tommy"
as he was Familiarity called in those
days-the youngest drummer boy and,
so far as the writer's knowledge goes,
the youngest enlisted man in the Union
army. The writer well remembers
having seen him on several occasions.
His diminutive size and child-like ap-
pearance, as we'll as his remarkable
skill and grace in handling the drum
sticks. never failed to make an impress
sion not soon to fade from the memory.
Some brief and honorable mention of
Little Tommy" the pride of the
Twelfth Indiana regiment. should not
be omitted in these "RecOllections of 3
Drummer-boy."
Thomas Huber was born in Fort
Wayne. Allen county, Indiana, October
9. 1851. When two years OF age the
family removed to Warsaw, Indiana.
On the outbreak of the war, his father,
who had been German soldier of the
truest type. raised a company of men in
response to President Lincoln's first
call for $4,000 troops. 'I4ittle Tommy"
was the first to enlist in his fathers
company, the date of enrolment being
April 10, 1861. He was then nine years
and six months old.
The regiment to which the company
was assigned was with the Army OF the
Potomac throughout all its campaigns
in Maryland and Virginia. At the ex-
piration of its term Of service, in Au-
gust, 1862, Little Tommy" re.enlisted
and served to the end of the war, hay
ing been present in some twenty-six
battles. He was greatly beloved by all
the men of his regiment, with whom he
WAS q constant favorite. It Is thought
that he beat the first "long roll" of the
great civil war. He is still living in
Warsaw, Indiana, and bids fair to be
the latest survivor of the great army OF
which he was the youngest member.
With the swift advancing years, the
ranks of the soldiers of the late war are
rapidly being thinned out, and those
who yet remain are fast showing signs
of age. The boys in blue are thus,
as the years 60 by, almost impercepti.
bly, turning into ''the boys in gray;"
and as Little Tommy" the youngest
of them all, sounded their first reveille,
20 may he vet live to beat their last
tattoo. Nicholas for October.

Ladies Spsariug Fr,-s,

A MiddletOwn On. Y. correspondent
OF an Eastern paper writes:
When the city ladies first began their
hunt for frogs it was several days before
they could school themselves to control
the natural impulse to scream when
they found frog. The pioneer expedi.
ton against the frogs was composed of
six young ladies duly equipped and
caparisoned for the onslaught. Acting
on instructions from native ''frogger, :"
they separated along the edge of the
pond at intervals of twenty feet or SO
apart. Presently the huntress who was
furtherest ahead uttered piercing
shrek. dropped her pi;chfork. and ran.
The one next to her screamed, dropped
her pitchfork and ran. Thus. one after
the other. all shrieked. dropped their
pitchforks and ran. When they met.
almost breathless, far away from the
pond, the one who had given the alarm
was overwhelmed with anxious inquiries
as to what was the matter.
''Oh! goodness grac:Uus!" she said,
81 saw one; oh, such an awfully big
oner'
''Oh! my!' was the chorus of the hun.
tresses. lets 60 back home"
A native fisherman who saw the re.
treat says lit was better'n circus to
see them gals droppin' them pitchforks
and gittin' way from the pond, yellin'
rs though the old boy was arter 'em."
But Drawer parties were organized. and
now there are but few among the dainti-
est of the lady boarders-some of whom
would turn pale to see a chicken de-
capitated-who cannot thrust a spear
through frog, remove him, and separ-
ate his saddles with the GOODNESS and
skill of an old frog-catcher. Most of
the female froggers prefer the spear
to hook and line and red flannel fish,
ing, because the former requires more
skill, and kills the frogs at the same
time. To catch frogs in the latter way.
an ordinary rod, line. and hook are
used. The hook is baited with a piece
of red flannel. When frog is discov-
cred the flannel is lowered in front of
him. He never fails TO snap it, and is
caught. Then comes the necessity of
killing him, which, to the novice, is by
no means agreeable.
