being covered up, they went too far tothe
right, and when they came to the Big
Horn, they were ten miles below the fort.
They were nearly worn out, but were re-
freshed the next morning by hearing the
beating of the reveille at the post. After
hearing their story of the happenings at
Phil Kearney, those at this place came to
the conclusion that the four Crows were
at the fight, and had rode the ninety
miles between the two places within
eighteen hours. The Indians were very
troublesome and quite severe fight was
had with them at the hay field about a
mile and half below the fort, the next
summer, in which Lieutenant stcinber-
ger was killed. Major Gordon now COM
manding at Fort Ellis, left Fort c. F.
Smith for Fort Phil Kearney, the day OF
this fight, in command of a company of
the I'd cavalry.
The government should have declared
war against these Indians, and have sent
troops enough in the field to whip them
but the weak policy which for SO many
years had cursed the new west, and had
caused 30 much innocent blood to flow
prevailed now, and the spring of 1865
saw this line Of posts abandoned, and in
spite of treaties, in spite Of provisions
and goods given to them by the govern
| ment, they were actually hostile and
were continually committing depreda-
tions, till they were conquered by hun
ger (not Miles and Terry in 1877.

Shakespeare was an intellectual ocean

FAMILY WITHOUT RULES.
Personally, Colonel 1ngersoll is the
most charming of men, and, as natural
consequence, his life is blameless; for one
holding his peculiar views Of life and
death could not dwell in peace in re-
ligious community if there was taint on
his private life and walks He keeps
away from bar-rooms, he gives literally
to all good works, whether Catholic,
Methodist, Baptist or what not; his word
is taken by everybody who ever had
dealings with him, and no body who
has ever known him would ever ask for
his bond. His house is Ideal Liberty
Hall. He has no rules for himself or his
family. They all do as they please. He
has no time for going to bed or getting
up. He eleeps when he is sleepy, he eats
when he is hungry and rests when he is
tired. A regular life" he knows moth
ing about. Every member of his family
does exactly as she pleases. He is never
without company. His family consists
of his wife, "a woman without supersti-
tion," and two daughters, Eva, aged six
teen, and Maud, aged fifteen. He says
his children never did a wrong in their
lives, and they never had secret from
their parents. They, too, do exactly as
they please. They were never repri-
manded or refused a request in their
lives.
Colonel Ingersoll has a workshop in
the second story of his residence, which
is much like other places where men do
their writing. asked very intimate
friend of his what we're Colonel Inger-
soils eccentricities. He answered very
quickly and verv tersely that Colonel In
gersoll had no eccentricities except one,
and that was that he had no eccentrici-
ties. He drives nobody from his work.
shop, and says he works hetter when his
family and visitors are about him. The
house is never without company"
usually three or four persons, young or
old, it matters not, and sometimes doz-
en- friends SIT down at the family board.
Colonel Ingersol's law Office is several
times full. It is full of books, full of
clerks and full of clients.
Colonel Ingersoll was born in 1898, and
was married to Miss Eva Parker (happy
manly in 1862.
One word more and am done with
the great unbeliever. He points to the
poems of Burns and calls the volume his
prayer-book. Let me call Colonel Inger-
soils attention to this stanza from one Of
the greatest of Burns off-hand poems;
the "Epistle to a Young Friend"
The Greater Creator to rsvers,
Must sure become the creature;
But still the preaching cant forbare,
And cen the rigid feature;
Yet neer with wits profane to range,
Be complaisance extended;
An atheists laughs o poor exchange
For Deity offended! -

Aaron 14rr's Pistols.

From the Louisvile Courier-Jouraal,
Some weeks ago I ran across perhaps
the most famous and fatal firearms on
the continent-the superb duelling pis-
tolls of Aaron Burr. They are bone
breaking brace of the first calibre, and
the property Of Captain Brent Hopkins,
of this city. One of these pistols fired
the ball that killed Alexander Hamilton
at Weehawken. 1t is identified by a
long, deep notch indented In the handle.
The pistols were made by Mortimer, of
London, England, and were imported by
Burr at the close of the Revolutionary
war. The barrels are thirteen inches
long and carry an ounce ball. They are
flint locks, and the pans for the priming
are lined with gold, and the touchholes
are bushed with the same metal. They
are hair triggers and shoot with great
force and accuracy. The locks are very
superior and of exquisite mechanism.
The pair came into the possession of
Captain Brent Hopkins, the present
owner, through his uncle, Captain Sam
Goode Hopkins. of the Forty-second
Regiment of United States dragons, who
purchased them from Burr in Washing
ton City, in the winter of 1878 or 1914,
paying $500 in gold for them. Burr re.
marked at the time that he would not let
any one else have the pistols, as he had
used them with Hamilton.
The weapons have surely a blood-stain-
ed history. They have been used with
fatal effect in eleven duels. Among the
sanguinary combats, Pettis, of Virginia,
killed Biddle on Bloody Island, near St.
Louis; Edward Towns, of Virginia, kill
ed a Frenchman near New Orleans !;
Captain Sam Goode Hopkins killed a
Spanish Count near Madrid, Mo-; Hugh
Brent killed man from Georgia on Dia-
mond Island, below Henderson, XIV.
They were used several times in Virgi-
mia, twice in South Carolina and more
than once in Kentucky with deadly
effect. Robert Triplett, of Owensboro,
shot the old lawyer, Phil Thompson, of
that city. through and through with one
of them, but, strange to say, Thompson
recovered and grew as fat as bear.
Henry Clay and Capt. Hopkins were fast
friends, and the former was to have used
the pistols in one of his duels, but they
arrived a day too late.
Several days ago man named White
was fatally injured by fall from tele-
phone pole in Albany. Friday physi-
clan made an autopsy and found that
Whites back between the shoulders had
been broken, the spinal cord severed
and the breast bone in front fractured,
proving that by his fall the man had
been completely doubled. Despite these
injuries White lived four days after the
accident.
Nose Schaumburg had loaned Sam
Bingtom 500. As Nose had not seen
Sam on the streets of Austin for several
days it occurred to him to call at Sans
house and find out how he was coming
on. He did not see Sam, but Mrs. Bing-
tom was at home. She looked very sad
and had black rings around her eyes. II
am in great distress, Mr.. Schaumburg. ~

out into the country" "Did he leave dot

Schaumburg, he is not crazy enough to
do that. He has not lost his reasoning
faculties entirely"

The State Ticket.

The Democratic State Convention last
Wednesday nominated an excellent ticket,
placing at the head a statesman of pre-emi-
nence and national reputation. He is a
gentleman of large experience, of intimate
knowledge of government, and Of vast in
formation, and his wisdom and ability have
been abundantly exhibited in the Mary
land Senate, the halls of Congress and as a
representative of the United States to for
eign courts.
Mr.. Roberts is so well known to the
readers Of the ADVOCATE that it is scarcely
necessary to speak of him. His nomina-
ton is received with satisfaction and en-
thusiasm by all classes His personal pop
ularity and his fine legal ability will add
strength to the ticket throughout the state.
Mr.. Turner, for Comptroller, is well
qualified for the position, and is a gentle
man of fine ability.
Taken as whole the ticket must be
satisfactory to Democrats everywhere, and
must command the respect Of the entire
people. 1t is worthy Of, and should re-
ceive, the support of every Democrat.
Let the party 90 to work in earnest, and
prepare to give it an overwhelming major
ity in November.

The Last Opportunity.

BY advertisement in this issue the Registers
of Voters give the time and places Of their
October sitting. They sit on Monday and
Tuesday, October LIST and 2nd, instead of the
md and 3rd as we last week said in an edi-
torial on the subject Of registration. On these
days will be presented the last opportunities
for registration this year. Those not regis
tered on those days cannot vote i'll November.
When the books close on the 2nd of October
the name of every Democratic voter should
be recorded. Without full registration there
cannot be full vote. A full vote is desira-
BILE, not only to elect our county ticket, but to
help the state ticket. The white vote of Car
roll must be brought out to overbalance the
cOored vote in counties where that vote is
large. Let the active workers in each district
look after the unregistered Democrats, and
see to it that they are registered. When ne
cessary let them be taken to the offices of reg,
istration in carriages. Every Dem ocrat who
reads this article should consider himself a
committee of one to look around his neigh
borhood and have every man registered who
has not yet had his name put on the books.
Don't wait for some one else to act. Don't
wait until the days ofregistration. Go at once
and ascertain who are not registered; impress
upon them the importance of doing so at the
October sitting, and if they have no way tC
go to the offices ofregistration, make arrange
ments to take them in carriages. Don't de
lay, but go to work at once.

for the nomination of one individual on our
county ticket to-day, the weakness of which
has sent SILVER of dependency through the
ranks of the entire party, and gloats over 1t
too. He it is who has been frebrand in the
party since his election as clerk of the county
and who has done more to demoralize and
weaken it than any score of men that can be
mentioned His very name has been a me-
mace to its growth and success, and that it
lives to-day in this county is owing simply to
the superior intelligence and loyalty of the
men who compose it. When the Republicans
disown this man and his methods there will
be peace and harmony, and not until this is
done will there be that unity which gives
strength to party and the pledge Of success
which must naturally follow.

Tuesday, October 1st and md. The books

can give the ticket from to top to bottom more
than three hundred majority if the vote is
