THE MASSACRE A MYTH.

In the deposition made by Mr. Cameron,
one OF the prisoners rescued, he gives
the names Of the Frog Lake murder
ers. He says that Wood Crees
saved the prisoners lives, the plain Crees
wanting to kill them. He distinctly states
that Mrs. Delaney and Mrs. Gowanlock
have been well treated, reports to the con-
trary being absolutely without foundation,
nor had McLean's family been ill-used.
All prisoners were comparatively we'll
treated, and no indignities were offered them.

fifty men each of the Ninetieth Mid

eight men, left to join Gen. Strange this
evening. All the mounted men left early

consequently it is not known
when the men belonging to
this column will return. 1t
will probably be away ten days. The re-

A Bright Future.

His arm had stolen around her

ted lightly on his bosom. The
moon shone softly down upon them,
as he painted a bright picture of
the happy future when she should
become his beautiful bride. He
paused at last in the fervent out
pouring of his hopes, and the mel
ody of his tones was echoed by the
silvery sweetness of her flutelike
voice, as she murmured softly, Eyes,

AS to schools, Bro. Puckette of
the Shreveport Times is quite an
authority. In his last paper he
concludes an article On that subject
in this manner - We confess
that the Lumbuggery of modern
sohooldom is so universal that
it is difficult to determine what shall
be done for the rising generation,
Probably the sham and worthless
ness found now may product of
the tendencies of the age; if SO the
next generation will grow up a

Mr.. Blanchard himself. He talks
earnestly, no doubt, hence we can
put down as true just what the gen.
tleman says:
"Then you think the Presidents
course is meeting the expectations
of the party and the country"
Gin the main, | do. The Presi-
dent is a plain, honest, sincere, and
straightforward man of rare good
sense and judgment. He has what
is better than genius-a more than
ordinary quantity of common sense.
United with it be has frmness and
persistency of purpose. Making no
great pretensions to suavitey in mo
do, he has .tortiter IN re. 1t is his
policy that is being pursued, not
that of his Cabinet. His ideas are
impressed on his Cabinet, not his
Cabinets on him. He is imbued
with the determination of carrying
out in good faith, as far as possible,
the pledges of his party; he intends
to conform to the principles of the
platform upon which he was elected
and of those of bis letter of accep-
lance. His promises were not made
to the ear to be broken to the hope.'
"Some dissatisfaction will spring
up. 1t is impossible to avoid it;
but, traced to its source, it will be
found, in almost every instance, to
have begun and continued in dis
appointment growing out of the APP
pointments to Office. The pobple
are quick to discern this; they are
not fooled one whit. They will
look further and deeper than these
surface indications. Nor will their
common sense and spirit of fairness
permit the President to be judged
by one or two acts-they will look
to the results already achieved and
reasonable expectations to follow,
from his policy as a whole.
"The President has already &C
complished much, and much yet re-
mains to be done. The people want
him left unhampered to do it; they
will accord to him their moral sup
! port and hearty good will, and they
will not tolerate in any public man
the disposition to run counter to his
patriotic purposes"
II suppose, Mr.. Blanchard, you
are likely so be candidate for re-
election in the fall of next YEAR,"
"That is sometime ahead vet;
there will be plenty of time to an

Has to Say.

When our Congressman, the Hon.
Newton G. Blanchard, of Caddo, az
rived in New Orleans the other day,
fresh from the mountains of West

Picayane reporter, and made to give
his views regarding several impor-
tant questions. We clip from the
interview two paragraphs which we
think will be interesting to our
readers, one in reference to Presi-
dent, and the other in reference to
Mr.. Blanchard himself. He talks
earnestly, no doubt, hence we can
put down as true just what the gen

Who is the Owner7

A pleasant way for a party of young
formal gathering is for them to try and
distinguish each other by seeing the
eyes alone.
Pin a shawl across the doorway about
five feet from the floor. Cut two holes
IN a large sheet Of wrapping-paper, ora
newspaper will answer the same pur-
pose, which will show the eyes distinct
ly, but will not expose any other part Of
the face.
If any one present possesses a talent
for drawing, the paper, which is to
serve as a mask, could be further dec
GRATED with a Mouth and nose put on
with q brush tipped in India ink. This
will add to the grotesque appearances
which the shawl, surmounted by the
mask, will present. Eyebrows might
also be painted.
When the paper is pinned above the
shawl, the company should be divided
into two parties, one to remain in the
room as spectators and guessers, the
other to go 'sbehind the scenes" (other-
wise the shawD as performers. IF
II1tlc dlc Opci d Hdll-uOHcu VI tllc 1oCt6E,
a line should be formed; the one at the
head stands behind the mask SO that his
eyes are distinctly seen by those in the
room, and another OF the performers
asks: ''Who is the owner??'
If a correct response is given, the per-
formers clap their hands. The one who
has taken his turn goes to the foot of
the line, and number two takes his
place behind the screen. After a time
the parties change places, and the fun
is renewed .-Ha1per's Young People,
