4 Severe Sentence.

Judge David Davis, who for eight
years rode the same judicial circuit In
Illinois with Abraham Lincoln, related
many capital anecdotes about him. One
was a scene in court soon after Davis
was appointed Judge, when Lincoln had
defended q fellow named Lindsay, who
had been indicted for highway robbery.
Lindsay had pleaded guilty, in the hope
that the Court would give him the
lightest sentence imposed by law. The
crime, however, had no lenient features,
and the character OF its perpetrator was
very bad. At the close of the term Lind
say was arraigned for sentence. The
Judge alluded to the youth of the pris-
oner, and dwelt upon the enormity of
his crime. He had robbed a helpless
man Of his ~hard-earned wages. and com
mitted a crime that the law character
lied as akin to murder. Gathering
wrath and Indignation as he proceeded,
the Judge closed his phillippic with the
words: Lindsay, I sentence You to
seven years in the illinois Legislature r
Abraham Lincoln was a quiet observer.
he arose with a quaint CLEAN of hunor
on his face, and said: May it please
your Honor, as the friend Of the Court,
allow me to suggest that the Constitution
does not permit cruel and unusual pun
ishment. Your Honor has sent this man
to the Legislature when he ought to go
to the Penitentiary."
"The difference is so slight that the
Court has no hesitation in adopting the
suggestion OF it's learned and experienced
adviser" the Judge responded. There
upon he imposed the full sentence of
the law, and everybody laughed except
the defendant and his counsel.-Ben.

An Indian Princess.

Sarah Winnemucca, the daughter OF
the noted Plate chief, has been out
visiting her tribe. A letter from Vir-
ginia City says: Instead of being proud
Of her and grateful for what she has
done for them, the Piutes regard her
with suspicion. They know that she
has adopted the garb of the white Sis
tiers, and it is even suspected that she
uses soap and a comb and brush occa-
sionally. To the genuine Piute these
things are inconsistent with the tradi-
tons of the race. They came to look
upon her as a lost one when they saw
her voluntarily at work in the kitchen
and over the washtubs Of the whites.
Her old father, who, though q mighty
chieftain in his own estimation, was not
above fishing around a swill barrel for
something to eat, and who always ban
quoted on cold v~ictuals passed out of
back doors, could not restrain a feeling
Of contempt for his fair daughter, who
insisted upon working like a slave. She
was regarded as q little queer by every
body. The ordinary Piute never cared
to speak of her. Chief Naches, her
brother. does not recognize her to this
day. He a her off years ago, and
holds himself much above her still.
Since she has been here this timehe has
made no effort to see her, and she prob
ably will not undertake to hunt him up.
The people OF Boston will be panied
to know that Princess Sarah's people
and the white residents of the Comstock
are not SO much interested in hearing.
about them as the B~ostonians are in the
stories which Sarah tells of life in the
Sage Brush State. Her lecture here on
"People l Met in the East" was slimly
attended, not a single Piute being in the
audience, though many Of them are
marching around the poker shops with
Boston clothing on, that was given them
through Sarah's influence. When Sarah
determined to lecture in Boston, it was
agreed that, in order to heighten the
effect, she must appear in her native
costume. The kind ladies who sug-
gested this did it with the purest of mo-
tives, but the Indian girl was insulted,
and it took some time to straighten
matters out. She explained to them
that the climate of Boston was such
that she could not aacede to their re-
quest, but the ladies insisted that she
must wear some aboriginal costume,
and, thinking that she was short Of
money, they presented her with a fanci-
full suit of buckskin and flannel,
trimmed with beads and feathers, and q
head-dress topped off with beautiful
plumes. She was delighted with the
regalia, and always wore it when ap-
pearing in public. To please the Com
stockers, who had heard of this suit,
she consented to wear it at her lecture
here, and a number of them went up 10
see how she looked in the ideal Indian
finery. All agreed that she made a very
creditable looking Indian woman, but
they were unanimous in the opinion
that the lecturer bore no resemblance to
the gay and festive Sally Winnemucca
who used to romp around in this coun-
try with an old blanket tied at the waist
with a piece of c~lothes-line. When
Naches heard of her exhibition he gave
an expressive grunt and observed

INDIANA's BAD CRASH.
Fuller Details of the Early MOrniT
Wreck, with Names of the Victims.

Wreck, with Names of the Victims.
CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-Following are the
additional details OF the bad accident
which occurred on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad yesterday morning about
one hundred miles east of Chicago. By
some lucky chance no serious injury was
sunered by any passengers, but all re-
celved shaking up that none will soon
forget. At 6:45 O'Clock in the morning,
when the fast train of the Baltimore and
ONO Road, which was due at Chicago
at 1920 O'Clock, had iusU passed
Bremen, Ind, it struck spread
from frog. The train was making up
time, and was running at the rate of 40
hmilrs an hour. The engine, baggage car.
smoker and one coach passed on in safety.
put the dining car, which came next,
jumped the track, and two sleeping cars
IN the rear went crashing on top of it. In
the sleeper were 16 passengers, but no
one was IN the dining car except the
cooks ard walters. The latter car was
turned completely over, and, catching fire,
was soon burned. The sleepers
were simply thrown on their side,
and did not take fire. They
were both badly shattered. however. OF
the people injured, those most seriously
hurt were the cooks, who were not only
bruised but also burned, and besides
scalded with water from the car boiler.
The negro walters were badly bruised and
burned. The other injured were passen-
gers in the sleeping cars, and their hurts
were in no case dangerous, although some
of them were painful. The list of the in
iured includes: Edward McCabe, cook,
badly burned and scalded, may die; Joe
Pratz, cook, burned, arm broken and
scalded, will recover; Edward Gray,
negro waiter, burned and scalp wound;
Robert McNaughton, a negro waiter,
burned and badly shaken up; Congressman
B. t. Shively, of South Bend, Ind, bruised
about the thighs; Hiram Y. Smith, of
DesMoines, Iowa, legs and feet cut and
lacerated; Hon. o. S. Clifford,
of Canton, Dakota, injured about
the shoulder; Frederick A. Wheeler,
OF Baltimore, cut about the face; Mrs.
Frederick Wheeler, of Baltimore, cut
about the head; II. S. Haller, of Chicago,
badly bruised; j. W. Mills and wife, Of
Chicago, both badly shaken up and
slightly bruised; r. W. Nelson, of Rock
ford, ILL.,, scalp wound; j. c. Mamiere, of
Pierre, Dak., scalp wound; Daily, stew ard
of the dining car, scalp wound.
Considering the speed at which the
train was going when it jumped the track
the only wonder is that there were not a
number killed outright.

elOpment involving Mr.. Thomas Collins
and Miss Ella Byrne, wired last night,
has been the topic of the city to-day. The
young man denied it emphatically on the
streets. He denies having been to Mont
gomery. The facts show that he accom-
panied the young lady to that city and
registered at the Exchange Hotel as E|Abe
Cullen and wife," He came to the CITY
last night and said that he had left her in
Montgomery, and that she left during the
day for Austin, Texas. The mind of the
young lady's mother has become seriously
impaired by the severe shock ii has re-
ceived. She swears vengeance on the Sc
ducer of her daughter.

MONEY ORDERS CHEAPER.
The Post Office Department Institutes
a Reform Long Demanded.

Reform Long Demanded.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-It has been for
long time matter of surprise that the
charges for foreign money orders have
been greater to Great Britain and Ireland
than to continental countries. The pre-
else difference has been that a money
order to Paris which would cost Is cents
has cost to London % cents. The same
ratio of increase was preserved for the
greater amounts, a $50 order upon Paris
costing 70 cents, while that upon London
cost 81. When it is considered that the
business with Great Britain is something
like six times as great as that with all
other European countries combined, eX-
cept Germany, the discrimination against
Great Britain in the price of orders seems
TO have been unworthy of the business
ability OF the two countries. Our Post
Office Department seems to have been
in fault in the matter, and it has
yielded to a demand for reform on
the subject. A circular has just been
prepared which reduces the fees on money
orders after Jan. next to the same sched-
ule as that heretofore prevailing for
similar sums upon other European cOun-
tries. The charge for a money order of
$40 upon any point in Great Britain and
Ireland will hereafter be Is cents instead
of % cents; TOR sums over $40 and not
exceeding $40, 80 cents instead of so; for
over $50 and not exceeding $50, 40 cents
instead OF 70; for over $50 and not exceed
ing $40, 90 cents instead of 50; for $40
and not exceeding $50, 70 cents instead of
81. A separate circular of the same date
has been prepared, notifying the public of
reduction of the fees charged on orders
payable in India, so that on and after
Jan. next uniform fees according to the
above schedule will be charged for orders
upon any points in British India. Here
tOfOre they have been 30 per cent. higher
than the rates charged for orders on
points in Great Britain and Ireland, and
about double those charged for orders on
European countries

THE sENATEs BAD FIX.
No Chance that the House VIII Pass
the Newly Prepared Naval Bill.

No Chance that the House VIII Pass
the Newly Prepared Naval Bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The Senate
passed its naval bill to-day and tomorrow
it will be presented to the House. The
members of the House pronounce its
passage by the House tomorrow improba-
bic. Without a quorum the House cannot
pass an appropriation bill. The House
will not have a quorum tomorrow, but if
it does it will not pass an appropriation
bill originated in the Senate. This con-
duct on the part of the Senate is a direct
usurpatiOn of the prerOgatives of the
House. Mr.. Holman said this evening
that the House would no more agree to
the bill passed by the Senate to-day than
ii would agree to the amendments filed by
the Senate on the House bill.
The Senate also adopted the House holi-
day recess resolution with an amendment
making the recess run from Dec. "a to
Jan. 3. The House may agree to this, or
the point may be made that no quorum
has voted, and it may be held that
therefore the House cannot adopt such a
resolution. The fact is, the House has all
the advantages of the Senate. 1t will ap-
prove no naval bill but its own, and it
will adjourn and permit the Senate to ad-
jOurn for holiday recess or take simply
another three days recess, compelling the
Senate to do the same, just as it pleases.
The Senators are quite as much irritated
by the action of the House as the House
is by the action of the Senate. The fail
ure of their little plan for getting out of
their dialemma gracefully will not lessen
their purpose to "get even" with the
House at an early day.

BARBOUR FOR THE CABINET
Resigning His Railroad Presidency to
be Prepared for a Portfolio

Resigning His Railroad Presidency to
be Prepared for a Portfolio.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The resigna-
tion of John S. Barbour, of Virginia, from
the Presidency of the Virginia Midland
Railroad, is commented upon as step
looking to the possible appointment of
that gentleman to the Postmaster
Generalship. Virginians here are almost
unanimous in the opinion that Barbour
will be chosen for the Post Office Depart
ment. He has already been presented as
the choice of that State for Cabinet ap-
pointment. A short time ago it was urged
against him that he was debarred bN
reason of his relations with corporation
engaged III carrying the mail. "He will
resign" was the rejOinder of friend, and
so he has resigned. 1t will be remem-
bered that in the case of A. T. Stewart,
whom Grant nominated for the Treasury,
the nominee resigned his importing inter-
ests after his name had been sent to the
Senate, but the Senate would not consent
to such an arrangement. Mr.. Barbour,
if it be for the purpose reported, has taken
time by the forelock and made himself
ready for the emergency. Heis very well
of and the salary of q Cabinet officer,
which is lower than the pay of any cor
responding position in the business world,
is of no consideration. For this reason
men like Barbour and Villas are willing to
sacrifice their source of large incomes,
the honor being the chief recOmpense.
