A Natural Curio,i,x

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 29-Lau,a La.
varnie, one of the three tattsoed women
of America, we'll known to museum fire..
quenters. gave birth to a boy yesterday
morning in this city. The chiid's skin
bears the same marks. or tatteoed fig.
ures, as the mother. Not only are these
figures reproduced identically on the
cbild's epidermis. but they are in the
same colors as the marks on the moth
er's body. The colors are blue and red.
The father, whose name il
Adolph Moreth, has lately
been running a small museum.
showing in country towns in
Maryland. He said to correspondent
yesterday that less than nine months ago
he went to the husband Of Dora Hilder-
bant to get him to tattoo his wife. Dora
is the original tattooed woman, and her
husband refused to tattoo any woman
who would prove an opposition to his
wife. Morath then set to work himself.
he found it too great job, and, as be
was travelling, he engaged men in various
places, commencing with Cincinnati, to
tattoo his wife. It took several months
to completely tattoo the woman, and
during this time she was in q delicate
condition. Five weeks ago his wife
was taken i'll in Cumberland. Mary.

has not been on exhibition. The child
is healthy and weighs fifteen pounds.

An official circular issued by the
national republican committee states
that the presidential convention will be
held at Chicago on the third of June;
that delegates to that convention must
be elected not less than thirty days prior
thereto. and that the conventions which
elect these delegates must be called on
not less than twenty days published no.
tice. Under these requirements it will
be necessary ITO issue the call for the
convention for Dakota as early
as the 10Th of April and it might
be issued a month or two sooner, under
the provisions of the circular. Twenty
days notice Is insufficient in this extern
sive domain. Many inquiries were made
regarding the intentions of the
territorial committee and there
is nothing to answer. If the com.
mittee has any intentions it keeps them
profoundly to itself. A rumor is going
the rounds to the effect that this com.
mittee does not intend to call any con.
ventiop, and that its purpose is to name
the delegates to Chicago without giving
the people voice in the matter. We do
not know how this rumor started, but il
there is any truth in 1t, the members Of
the committee had better commence
preparations for their respective funerals
With hundreds OF statesmen waiting fol
chance to serve their country the ex
pertinent would be dangerous one.

A Badly Scared Indian.


Deadwood Times: Spotted Elk, the
Ogalalla Indian, who has been confined
in our county Jail since last fall for the
murder OF an Indian, on motion of Hugh
J. Campbell. United States prosecuting
attorney, after the decision in the Grow
Dog case, waa discharged by Judge
Church several weeks since and was
told to 60 home as soon as he pleased.
At that time it was cold weather, and
he preferred to remain IN Jail and eat
Johnnie Manning's grub to going out on
foot and alone, and take the chances of
being killed by some white man on the
road.
Most of the Ogalalla's believe, that
white men have nothing else to do but
lie in wait for Indians to shoot them
and they all look upon the people oi
the Black Hills as their mortal enemies
He remained in Jail awaiting warm
weather, IN company with Bull Eagle
and seemed to really enjoy himself until
Saturday morning, when Bull Eagle
was sentenced to the penitentiary
This scared Spotted Elk, as he thought
that while the court was in the bushes,
chinching Indians, it might forget
that he had been discharged
and send him along with the crowd
He skipped out quietly, aud with .
| bull dog for companion, took q bee lin,
for the agency across the mountains
Deputy Ellington, the jsilor, wept whel
he failed to put in an appearance at mea
time, but bis grief was occasioned by tn
absence of his bull dog.
Late at night the Indian returne,
completely tuckered out. the deep emo,
paralyzed him. Yesterday morning b
started for home with Deputy Frsnl
Jackson, who has gone to Pine Ridge fo
witnesses in the Jesse Pruden case.
