A Tale of Sout hern Gratitude.

A white-haired veteran of the war
recently visited the scenes OF his
southern depredations. He called at
one house that he well remembered,
and was pleasantly greeted by =
comely, heal Unlocking woman of 6O.
Madam" said the veteran In
tones of deep emotion, "just twenty
years ago stole piano from this
house, and shipped it north to my
little daughter. l recognize In you
the owner of that instrument, and
should now like to pay for it. for l
have bitterly regretted the deed.
These white hairs are not the indica-
ton of age, madam. l have suf-
fered much in these last twenty years
and as my daughter is still unmar-
lied, and that piano still i'll robust
health, have much to undergo be-
fore 1 pass into eternal rest. Verlly
the retribution of my sin has been
great"
Here the silvered head of the vet
eran was bowed in his hands, and
the burning tears of an Overwhelm-
ing griet trickled slowly through his
trembling fingers.
The good woman was much af-
fected. my dear sir" she cried, as
she furtively dried her sympathetic
eyes, ''instead of you owing me a
debt, 1 owe you one. You are my
benefactor, my preserver. My
daughter also is still unmarried, and
as the war left us too poor to lay in
another piano, 1 have consequently
enjoyed life, and feel fresh and
hearty enough to calmly look an
other score of years in the face.
Speak not of remuneration to me,
dear sir, but go back to your daugh-
ter, and every time she pulls a snag
tooth out of that piano, and it walls
and groans beneath her touch, re-
member that there is one soul in the
far away southern land who reveres
your name and never ceases to be
grateful for the noble deed you per-
formed In the distant but never-to-
be-torgotten past"

The Killing Of Private Henry.

Julius Fredericks, of the Greedy par
ty, is in the city, visiting his brother,
iW. Fredericks. In an interview
with Ners reporter Fredericks cor,
roborates Sergeant Brainerd's denial
Of the story that the expedition was
divided into parties. He gave the
particulars of the shooting of Henry
under the orders of Greely, saying
the sentence was executed by him,
self and Sergeants Brainerd and
Long. They shot Henry in the BACK
two balls taking effect and produc-
ing instant death. One gun was N nGt u
loaded. They were compelled to this
course because Henry was strong and
active as ever, and had he suspected
their purpose he could easily nave
killed them. Fredericks says his *
perience has not satisfied him ana ne
intends to visit the Arctic regions
again as soon as possible.

He Thought Resurrection
Had Come.

It was at White Sulphur Springs
n 1861 think it was in '68-but,
anyway, General Robert E. Lee and
General Rosecrans and other distin-
euished men were there at the time,
consulting as to the best method of
reconciling the North and Sou b, and
bringing about much-needed peace
anu harmony in the nation. One
day the stage coach drove up in front
of the hotel, and out of one door of it
stepped a newspaper man named
Hanna. He was long and so thin in
body that he offered no pattcular ob-
struction to the passage oflight- The
thickest thing about him was shock
of red hair that hung down on each
side of his face, covering his ears
and framing his cadaveous counte-
nance He wore long linen duster
about as large around as an umbrella
case. As he climbed out on one side of
the stage Aleck Stephens climbed out
of the other, and the two started up
toward the hotel together. One OF
the boys at the hotel pointed at them
and called out: "L00k here! Here

Taxing N, p. Property.

The Miles City Record says: A
convention of commissioners of the
several counties of Montana was held
in Helena July 23d, for the purpose
of agreeing upon some system of uni
form action In regard to taxing the
lands and property of the Northern
Pacific railroad throughout this Ter
ritory. There We're representatives
of only five counties present, and
owing to the gravity of the subject
demanding their attention, it was
decided to adjourn until Friday,
Sept. IL, when 1t is hoped there will
be a full attendance. We understand
that the Custer county board will be
represented in Helena on the date
named. and it is hoped the joint &C
tion of the county Legislators will
result in substantial benefit to tax
payers throughout the Territory.

A Political RemIniscence.

A writer in the Buffalo Courier,
under date of August 10, recalls the
famous Free Soil convention that
was, he says, held in Buffalo thilty-
six years ago that day. It. was q
bOlteTs' convention, made up of men
who had gone as far as they could 60
in the way the regular" parties
were tending. The writer says:
"Its influence was felt throughout
the country, and determined the
presidential election of that year. It
reyoluti0nized the opinions Of q large
portion of the Democratic party Of
New York on that question, and
wrought q change in the policy of
that party in nearly all the Northern
States. 1t led the way to the organ
ization of the Republican party ana
the great events that followed. It
was singular gathering. Its men,
bership included the best selec-
tions from the three great
parties, the Abolitionists, the
Wings and the Democrats. There
were John p. Hale, John Van
Buren, Salmon P. Chase, G. c. Cam.
berling, Preston King, James L.
Wadswo1th, Sanford E. Church,
Samuel J. Tilden, James R. Doolit-
tie, Martin Grover, William Cas-
sidy, Reuben E. Fenton, John
Cochrane, Isaac P. Cbristiancy,
Judge Noah Davis, Joshua K. Gid
dings, Frederick Douglass, James w.
Nye, Benjamin +. Butler, Horace
Greedy, President Mahan, of Oberlin
College, and others of more or less
distinction. 1t will be observed that
most of these gentlemen afterwards
rose to high positions in our coun-
try's history. Notably among those
present, and the one who impressed
me most by the earnestness of his
speech, was the venerable Joshua r.
Giddings, of Ohio, who, iC will be
remembered, with John quincy Ad-
ans, fought the good fight on the
floor of congress in behalf of the
right of petition and the abolition OF
the slave trade in the District Of Col
umbia. He had achieved reputa-
ton already worldwide as the leader
and champion of the colOred race.
Possessed of q commanding figure,
with a voice loud and deep, when he
rose to speak the immense audience,
which flied the park, was hushed to
silence. l cannot forget these words
of his: i know of no sight SO sublime
as that of multitude assembled to
maintain their iDalienable rights,
and his remark that when he heard
his friend, Rev. Clark, who opened
the convention with prayer, allude
to John Quincy Adams, he believed
that If the aged statesman had lived
to hear it he would have said, "Now,
Lord, lettest thou thy servant depart
in peace, for mine eyes have seen thy
salvation.'" But when he closed his
speech by saying that his PRINCIPLES
were embodied in these words: Free
soil, free speech, free labor, free men
and free territories the vast multi
tude could restrain their feelings no
longer, and, rising as one man, they
gave one loud and prolonged cheer
for Giddings and free SOIL"
