Seattle, Washington Ter, Herald, Oct. S.
The following incident was related
to the writer by a lady friend last
evening; While travelling in Arizona
she was entertained at the residence
Of Mr.. p, in Tucson, who is exceed
ingly fond of specimens and curiosities
and has an elegant cabinet containing,
among other things, a certain skull
found among the remains of skirmish
between whites and Indians, the iden
tity ofwhich is thoroughly established.
Attached to the skull is a series Of
pictures painted by we'll known ar
fist, typifying as many phases in the
lie OF the deceased. One evening the
lady referred to, while enjoy.
log sOciable evening with
Mr.. P. and numerous friends,
the subject Of the collection
came up, OF course, and the lady was
handed the skull for examination,
while MI. p. explained the pictures.
Incidents of the deceased's boyhood,
youth aud manhood were told; how be
graduated at West Point, was detailed
for Indian warfare in Arizona and
finally killed by the Apachef.
The lady listened attentively, and
when the recital was ended, remarked,
How queerl Why that is almost
the history of the life of Colonel
H."
THAT is the skull of Colonel H., /"
remarked the host.
The lady did not faint. She is not
given to such follies, but the skull
dropped from her fingers, strange
look not unmingled with pain, passed
over her features, and the pleasure Of
the rest Of that evening was marred
Colonel H. had been an ''old beau" Of
the lady's.
