A Minstrel Mans Sad Fate Among In.
dams.

Some four years ago the Sioux on the
Dakota reservation became restless,
and, among other suspicious move
ments, fixed date for grand powwow
at Sun Dance. The Government at
once dispatched word to Crook, who
was known by the Indians to be in
Texas, to repair in all possible haste to
the Sioux country. AS the Generals
party, ON his arrival, sauntered into the
council meeting the surprise and dis
comfture of the Indians was great.
When the great pipe was in due course
handed to Crook he made fatherly,
but significantly-a y-admonitory address
that ratified" our saddle-tinted wards
still more. AS he ceased, an extremely
fresh young chief strobe across the
floor, and, seizing the Generals arm,
felt his biceps curiously. Then, with
an expression of great contempt, he
exclaimed, in the Sioux tongue:
"This cannot be a great warrior-his
arm is like a squaw'sI'
At this a white-haired chief named
Red Cloud angriIy pushed the young
brave aside, exclaiming: "The Gray
Fox fights with his head, not his arm"
"Then," instantly retorted the young
warrior, "he should be called the Gray
Ram"
The entire audience instantly fell
upon the speaker, and, after a desper-
ate struggle, he was bound hand and
foot andsearehed. Under his mocca-
sins were found pair of yellow-topped
toothpick shoes, and his buckskin shirt
contained an eight-carat diamond cut
out of the bottom of a goblet. He con-
fessed to being the end man of
wrecked minstrel troupe, who was try
ing to scalp his way back to the settle
ments.
He was tomahawked by unanimous
vote of the convention.-SaeF Francisco

failures that were successes; Gnau Is,
few ever did SO much that was to others
artistically perfect in order that they
might do something artistically perfect
to themselves. Mr.. James marvels at
the existence of the Mote Books" yet
their publication has thrown q food of
light not only upon the workings of
Hawthorne's mind but on the sources
of his artistic effects. They supple
ment with sunny eternal quality the
gloom of his psychology. They show
us in his own nature a capacity for
beauty and sweetness, where his own
generation saw only capacity for NOR
bid analysis; that is, they furnish the
biography of the sympathetic side of
his mind, while the novels represent
what was equally real to his emotional
nature. No doubt, while his actual life
was simple and minded, capable
of absorbing beauty and interest, he
had, in imagination, lived through the
tortures of the damned.
We had never reached such insight,
or such grace of style, before Haw
thorne, and we have never reached it
since.-The Ce7ltaLru,

A Whipped MaSher.

A young woman riding in a Boston
horse-car had endured for ten minutes
the fixed gaze of an impertinent dandy,
when a simple way of getting the better
of him occurred to her. Assuming an
expression of horror, which gradually
relaxed into amusement, she looked
steadfast for moment at a point on his
coat-collar just below his ear, and then
with quiet smile turned her eyes
away. Never was the complacency of
a young fool more completely dis
turbed. He fidgeted in his seat, went
through dreadful contortions, and al
most rolled his eyes out of their sockets
in the effort to extend his range of
vision to the point below his ear;
brushed softly, then eagerly, then fran
tically, the suspected spot and at last.
in an agony of apprehension, rushed
out of the car and into an adjacent bar
room in search of mirror

Vast Railway Stations,

The centre of London will before long
be turned into collection of vast rail-
way stations. From north to south.
from east to west, there is but one de-
sire on the part of railway director
to increase the size of the terminus of
his line. The enlargement of Euston
Station has been brought prominently
before the public through the destruc-
tion of an open piece of ground adjoin-
ing the Hampstead road. The accom-
mediation at Liverpool street has already
been pronounced insufficient for the
traffic on bank holiday. A new bridge
across the Thames and a new station
are contemplated by the managers of
the Chatham and Dover Railway, and,
If their attempt to obtain a fresh outlet
for the Londoner through Croydon to
Surrey and Sussex should prove sue
cessful, they will be urgently required
at once. At Waterloo station the work
of patching and increasing has been
recommended after the briefest of inter-
missions, and within short time 3D..
600 square feet will have been added to
one of the most inconvenient stations in
London.-PaU Mall Gazette.

Saved by Electricity,

Old Gen. Sablemore was very much
annoyed by young man who persisted
In visiting his daughter. Il want to
tell you now," said the General one
evening, "that you shall not marry my
daughter, and that if you ever come
here again I'll maui you numerically.
General, you could not be so cruel
as to blight my life and to destroy the
happiness of your daughter, could you?"
Rather than have you for a son-in-
law, I would willingly nail my daughter
in box and send her to crematory.
I give you fair warning. I don't want
you to come around here again. Light
out or I'll dust your coat-tails with bird

the General asked of his wife several
nights later.

Hand me that cane; I'll go in and maui
him out of shape"
'Do not molest him, General. He is
so devoted to Jane that I do not think
he can keep away. Better let them
marry, for it seems that nothing but
death can break his admiration"
The General sat and unused. It was
struggle for him to refrain from strik-
ing tie persistent fellow, but he wa
vered. A rain storm came and beat
against the house, and twisted the
limbs of the great trees in the yard,
but sill the old General mused. A
binding fash, and then report that
shook the house brought the old man
to his feet. Rushing into the parlor he
found the young man lying on the floor.
The General raised him up. He opened
his eyes and said:
"If you won't hit me again I'll leave
here and never come back. l can travel
now. Gimme my hat, and, tearing
himself ,oose, he ran away, and came

A Straight Man,

A chap pwho pumped off the wharf at
the foot of Randolph street, the other
day, was promptly pulled out by three
or four men who witnessed the action,
and when the victim was safe on the
planks one of the men remarked:
did you fall in?"
"No, sir; I jumped in"
"Did yo1 intend to commit suicide ?"
mo, sir
"But yo1 must have been tired of life
to take that leap. Tell US your troubles,
and perhaps we can assist you"
Gentlemen, said the stranger, after
swallowing glass of whisky which a
boy had run for, "Fm man of straight
business principles. I've jumped off
the docks along here some six or seven
times this spring. I'm always sure of
being pulled out, of securing big drink
of whisky, and the cash collection runs
from IS cents to So.
well, you won't get no cash out of
this crowd said one of the men.
II realized that as soon as you pulled
me out and I sized you up" replied the
stranger, sand I may as we'll add that
the whisky you sent for is the poorest
stuff I ever drank. Take it altogether,

Miseries of Defective Memory.

The miser1es of a poor verbal memory
are great. The Rev. Arthur Mursell,
of England, says that his own father
was one of the most impassioned and
powerful extempore orators he ever
heard; but he had bad verbal memory,
and "after working us up with splendid
passage of unprepared and impromptu
elequence, he tried to close the sep
tence with the text, Mercy and truth
are met together; righteousness and
peace have kissed each otheE,' But the
words escaped his recollection, and he
said: Mercy and truth dre met to-
gether; Observation-Disclosures sim
liar sentiments have kissed each
other" Bad as the verbal memory
may by nature be, it is capable of great
