It was known that several friends Of the
dead chief we're hunting for Grow Dog,
and that the least demonstration sGainst
him would be the signal for general
fight between the two factions. The
friends OF Spotted Tail were in the mi
nority. but this was not sufficient to keep
them quiet.
The pesceable outcome of the COM
plication 10 largely due to the courage
and GOODNESS of James G.. Wright, agent
at Pine Ridge. Grow Dog said be would
not go back to Deadwood. He was pre-
pared to die where he was. The agent
sent Hollow Horn Bear. the captain Of
the Indian police. and relative Of Grow
Dog. Grow Dog said to him briefly: sit
is all right now; you come to me With.
out arms. Had you come armed. either
you or l wonld die" But, through
friends Of Grow Dog. the agent finally
prevailed on him to go back quietly. and
he left for Deadwood little more than
Q week ago, and has probably arrived
there before THE time. 1t is not believed
that he will be further punished for the
killing of Spotted Tail He has been
tried for that by members of his tribe
and acquitted, and second convection

Lisbon's gold craze has died away and
while the excitement was on the wane
both Bismarck and Huron attempted to
stir up boom based upon the existence
of the precious metal in their respective
localities. The finding of occasional
particles Of gold in the drift of Dakota
is no new thing. Years ago discoveries
of this nature we're made in the gravel
which is used to macadamize the
streets of Yankton, but the find
was not Of sufficient value to induce
any one to go into the mining business.
AS our Huron neighbors have failed to
develop much of the dust and as they
are perhaps somewhat disappointed We
will remind them that there is another
promising industry which might be de-
veloped. There are old and vague ru.
mors of the existence Of diamonds along
the jim. Years ago there was a
wild excitement ovv alleged discov.
cries of these precious stones
between the bluffs of this stream. There
are yet living IN Yankton men who were
members of an expedition which invaded
the wilderness and made search for dia.
monds. They Travelled long distance
up the Jim and then Travelled back. It
is alleged that their stone Jug was too
large and that this had an effect upon
their eyesight, preventing them from
making satisfactory search. This the.
ory is sustained by the fact that they
shot Texas steer, supposing it to be q
q buffalo. Our Huron neighbors might
take up the search where the Yankton
excursionists dropped it, and if they sue.
coed in confirming the traditions Of the
past, Huron will become the envy OF al
the cities Of the west.

Crow Dog the Slayer ofSpotted Tail Re-
turned to Deadwood.
Sioux City Journal.
From . gentleman just in from Pine
Ridge agency reporter obtained some
intersting particulars of the visit of Grow
Dog, the slayer of Spotted Tail to his
old home. 1t will be remembered that
Spotted Tail, the head chief of the Sioux
nation, was shot dead by Grow Dog
about year ago. The cause of the kill
ing ls not clear. Romantic correspon-
dents endeavored to show that it came
from . quarrel about q woman-that the
great chief had taken Grow Dogs wife.
old feud dating back to the time of the
Sioux wars with the whites. Whatever
the cause, the fact remains that Spotted
Tail was ehot very dead by Grow Dog.
Each had his friends and for a time it
looked % though there would be war be.
tween the two parties. The upshot of
the matter was that Grow Dog was taken
to Deadwood and lodged in Jail. There
he was tried and convicted of murder,
the sentence Suspended, and now there
is probability that after great many
weary moons, he will be let 20. During
the past few months, his juilor has al
lowed him tie freedom of the town, for
he was suffering from an old arrow
wound, that is likely to bring death soon,
and his health was too poor to allow
close confinement.
One evening last October Grow Dog
did not return to the jail ss usual. There
was hunt by the sheriff's officers, and
by the military from Fort Meade, bu,
he could not be found. Grow Dog had
started for his old homo at Pine Ridge
agency. BY good luck, after being out
from Deadwood three days, he struck 9
party Of Sioux hunters from his owr
agency. He returned IN their company
to his family. On arriving he made nj
effort to conceal himself, though the rela
tiyes and partlsans OF Spotted Tail hat
sworn to kill him on sight. He had no
long to live, any way, he eaid, for th,
old arrow wound was killing him, ant
he only wanted to die among his Owl
people. When about the agency hi
hand was never of his pistol. but other
wise he manifested no uneasiness.

Trading Princes.

A member of the French mission at
Hue, who has contributed an interest
ing account of his eighteen months
residence in the capital of Anam to a
French paper, mentions among many
other curious things which he observed
there the trading propensities of the
Princes of the blood Royal. Every
wear one or other of these Princes opens
q regular bazaar shortly after the New
Years festivities in the court Of his pal
ace, where the most varied assortment
of merchandise is exhibited for sale.
Odds and ends of European glassware,
curios of different nationalities, '.arti-
Giles de Paris bottles of decoction of
sarsaparilla, and of the bicarbonate of
soda form the motley stock in trade on
these occasions. The mission was sur
prised to find plentiful supply of the
best brand of Manila cheroots on one
of the stalls in 1880. The Spaniards
had made present of eight thousand
genuine s'Imperiales' to Tu Due, who,
preferring the native tobacco for his
own consumption, gave them to the ma
tive Princes, and they in turn were not
above making an honest penny by re-
failing the royal gift ..in quantities to
suit purchasers. A still more curious
commerce practiced by them is the sale
Of bricks. Their residences are sur
rounded with thick walls of brick, built
at the Kings expense. The unfortu-
nate scons of the royal house who de-
| pend entirely on the Kings liberality-
which is grudgingly bestowed, it would
senior their support, are often glad
| to raise little money by selling the
| bricks of which the walls around their
compound is built. These walls are
consequently riddled with breaches in
their entire circumference; and the
writer states that he has never seen a
complete and unchanged wall around
the residence of any of the Princes OF

FRIGHTENED.

Once seven ancient ladies' sat, serenely taking
tea,
Each with cap and kerchief white, knitting
on her knee:
Zach with cup and saucer quaint slipping with
smile,
Chatting, chatting, busiy, cozily, the while.
To complete the picture, in front of each a
cat,
Purrng, drowsily content, plump and peace
full, sat.
Hark! a tiny, scratching noise! Each cat
cocks her ear;
Each dame drops her teacup-holds her breath
to hear.
Tempted by the silence, forth timid mousie
stole
Softly out; but wished herself back within
her hole
Seven beasts with glaring eyes, tails erect in
air.
Seven danes that, screaming, hop each upon
her chair!
Spell-bound at the dreadful sight, trembling
mouse stands:
Ancient ladies weep and moan, wringing of
their hands;
Peaceful tabbies turn and fee, overcome
with fear.
OF them all. which do you think was fright
ened most my dear?-Godsn DAYS.

Ireland's National Color.

II is strange to be told that, after All,
green is not the old National color Of
Ireland. The popular belief for cent
uries is in favor of emerald color. b ut
the old books show that the popular be-
lief is contrary to the fact. There was
a Duke of Ireland in Richard III. s time,
Robert de We're, Duke of Ireland and
MARQUIS of Dublin, to whom the King
granted coat of augmentation, 'tazure,
three crowns, or with border argent"

aids that commissioners were sent to in
vestieate and report. The commission
ers pronounced that the arms of that
kingdom were three crowns in pale. A
drawing in the British Museum settles
the question. The drawing was made
| in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, or, at
least. registered the colors as they ex-
listed in her reign. The National flag
appears then to have been a harp or
| with strings argent on an azure ground.
| Thus in early times the color changed
imperceptibly. There are blues that
are almost green. Twenty years ago
! the Italian tri-color was black red, white
/ and olive green. These were the as

The Mice and the Trap.

Up in the garnet in our house there
used to be lots of mice. But they never
were any trouble until one day papa put
some corn there to dry so that he could
use it to plant in the spring. When he
went to look at it, not long after, he
found that much of it had been carried
off by the mice.
So he told me that he would give me
penny for every mouse would catch.
I was delighted, and Immediately got
our old trap, put some cheese in it and
placed it in the garnet.

could catch but two mice at time.

surprised that he said he would watch

Wea, he went up to the garnet long
after l had gone to sleep. First he
heard a little squeak, then in the bright
moonlight he saw little gray mouse,
with large ears and bright eyes, looking
out from behind a barrel. Then the
little fellow came out, looked around to
see that there was no danger, and then
gave another little squeak. when three
or four more came out, and all went to

there was more supper for them. But
they did not any of them put their

put his tail into the holes, and, hitting
the cheese, sprung the trap; then he
pulled out his tail, got the cheese anu

NEW YORK, Oct 49,
John Irving and John Walsh, widely

shots were fired at the same instant, al%s
with like effect. Irving fell deed, wits,
Johnny the Mick's bullet in his brain, and
she Mick fell, shot through the heart.
Neither lived long enough to breathe twice
after the shots. Billy Porter and the gang
ran out to the streets, but the reports of
the pistols were heard by the police, and
Porter was arrested. Every person
suspected of being in the saloon at
