on the Germania. He is much improved in
health after his sickness of several weeks.
and save for slight pains in the chsst, suffers
little of the neuralsic pains which some time
ago visited him severely. Talking with re-
porter, last evening, Stanford said in sub
stance al proposed eatly in the spring
going 20 Europe at about this time, so that
my trip is not compelled by the state of my
health. My sickness prevented my intended
visit TO California, but l have made such
progreas towards recovery as TO be able to
carry cut my plans for a sea voyage. I am
now convalescent, a1d by the time of our re-.
turn / hope to be restored 20 old health.
My physicians are sati-6ed that I have no
organic trouble, and they credit me with q
very sound constitution. I suppose they
would describe my sfi ction as muscular
rheumatism, with neuralgia. i have engaged
o return passage fer November 1st. i will
visit the Continent, but have no definite
plans. I have never been as far as Russia,
SO we viii probably proceed to That country"

daughters, one of whom recently graduated
at Hsmpto7, Va, and returned home, The
mother insisted on trading her of to an old
Indian and the girl scorned the proposition.
According to the Indian law this was gross
offense, and in such case the offender is not
entitled to the protection Of her person. The
rejected suitor got several bucks and, fozci-
kly taking the girl out upon the prairie, crimi-
