upon President Cleveland the other day

chief, and now King of the Chippewas.
met mm this morning. lie is about
18 years old, is over 6 feet tall, and has
an eye like that Of young eagle. a
romance clusters around him. and it was
at Washington, where his father, the
noted Chippewa King, met the woman
who became his mother. 1t was in 1867
that old Hole-in theDay came here on
business with the president. He was
made much of by the newspapers, feted
where he was stopping he was spoken of
Us the rich Indian King, who owned the
greater part of the lands of the North
west. At this hotel there was pretty
Irish chambermaid who did up the old
chiefs room. The two met. They
looked, and from their eyes sprang love.
Chief Hoe-in-the-D Day, who had met the
bellies of Washington. scorncd them for
the Chambermaid.
He proposed. She accepted. They
were married and she went bacl, to Min
nesota an Indian Queen. From the mar
riaee sprang this boy who has now in
herited his fathers position. The Old
king begot the jealousy of some Of the
Indian tribes by his union with q white
wife, and they suspected him of treach-
erously giving away their lands. They
assassinated him. Mrs. Hole-in-the-
Day still lives. Her boy has the true
military bearing about him, and he looks
and walks like the King that he is. He
dresses in American clothes, and talks
pure Anglo-Saxon. Gov. Ramsey is
pushing his claims here. and he will
probably receive an appointment.

Judge Lochrane's Eioquence-

Albany. Ca, News and Advertiser.
Curious enough it is but nevertheless
it is true that Judge Lochrane'5 first in
PRODUCTION into public life was temper
ance speech. 1t was long time ago,
although the judge is not an old man yet,
in the days of Father Matthew, the dis
tinguished apostle Of temperance, when
that noted temperance lecturer had
awakend most wonderful interest in
the cause of temperance. Societies form
ed called after the noted divine. One
was in Athens. Young Lochrane, then
a lad almost. had MT long come from
the Emerald Isle. He was clerk in
a drug store in Athens. During the ex-
element he joined the Father Matthew
division. At that time old Barry was
the noted bootmaker of Athens, and was
to the Athens students what old Bis
beur, in later years, was to the Mercer
bows. Old Barry was an Irishman and
hinted it around among the ''g nile
make a speech.
A day was set for the young Irishman
to speak in the Presbyterian church.
The day was made holiday by DR..
Church, the president of the college.
The occasion was treated much sa jest.
The leading citizens rather made light OF
it. But the time arrived. The audience
room was filed. The learned professors,
oI MI IN, nd
Church and other prominent gentlemen
occupied the rostrum. The Irish lad,
the drug clerk, was introduced But
few sentences had been uttered when
a change came over the spirit Of the au
dience The moclzing jest was gone.
Attention, then admiration, then enthu-
siasm, then applause, then cheers greeted
the young orator. He took his seat the
wonder of the audience. The magnates
rushed toward and congratulated him.
The whole house was completely cap
tured. Judge Lumpkin, dignifed as he
was, was so enthused that he even en-
braced 'the lad, ;" and then and there had
him to agree, without money and with
out price, to leave Alexander's drug store
and come at once to his Office and study
law. But the victory did not cease here.
That night fashionable ball wound up
the gala day. The young orator whose feet
as yet were strangers to the splendid
abodes of hospitality in the city, was the
toast Of the evening. Miss Callie lump
kin. the beautiful daughter of Judge
Lumpkin, belle of the city. marched
clear across the town hall and presented
the eloquent young Trishman with
magnificent boquet. And from that
hour till now the judge has been a great
lover of the fair sex.

If the roots are kept intact, or if the
roots which are broken off Il short dis

that they will speedily callous over and

will suck up water from the soil and

the other hand, the fibrous roots are
allowed to shrivcl up, they had better
be removed altogether and let the stem

whether it is better to set out the
plants as soon as possible. or to let
them wilt in the cellar, much will de-
that a fresh plant, full of sap, by ex-

FOREIGN NOTES.

A dispatch to Reuters Telegram company
from Cairo says it is believed General Wolsely
will soon return to England.
Recruiting for the British navy continues
with much activity and the admiralty have in
vited the navy pensioners to volunteer. Ac-
tive preparations for war are making in all the
Australian colonies.
England will at once demand of Russia an
explanation OF the Russian conduct in fore
ing a battle upon the Afghans. This demand
will, it is understood, be coupled with a de-
mand for the withdrawal of the Russian
forces to the north of Sahakhs.
In the English cabinet council the Anglo
Russian difficulty, it is said, was represented
to be as follows: England and Russia have
agreed upon a basis for the del,neaLion of the
Afghanfrontier, subject to a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION by Russia of the recent attack upon
the Afghans. According to this scheme it is
said Penjdeh will be ceded to Russia, provided
the ameer consents.
The London Telegraph, in an exba edition,
states that the gravity of the news from the
Afghan border has not been in any way di-
minished by advices received by the govern
ment. The telegraph wires to Meshed has
been cut for some time. The Telegraph has a
dispatch from Allahabad which states General
Kamaroff, sfter the victory occurred at Penj-
Deb. which had long been held by the Afghan
garrison, occupied the place.
Gladstone's hesitation over the Kushk rfver
affair emboldened Russia. who is now taking
a turn in demanding an explanation and with
drawals. The report is confirmed that De Giers
demanded an explanation of the presence of
Captain Yates of General Iumsden's staff a.
the Kushk river battle of the part he is said
to have taken in provoking that enga ement.
Special dispatches from st. Petersburg assert
Russia demanded the withdrawal OF Lumsdcn
himself, on the ground of his pronounced
sympathy with the Afghans in their hostility
towards Russia, but this statement is doubt
full. The government is still wrangling with
Turkey over the terms of the proposed Anglo
Turkish alliance.
A dispatch to the London Times from Gu
bran, dated April Sd, states that the Russians,
making u pretext of changing the position of
their outposts on the Afghan frontier, at
tackled Penjdeh on March goth and drove the
Afghans out of their position. The Afghans
stubbornly resisted the assailants. The
weather was wet at the time of the attack,
which rendered the muzzle-loading guns of
the Afghans useless. Two companies held
the position against the Russians until its de-
were killed. The Afghans retreated
to Merauchan in perfect order. The Russians
made no pursuit. The Saranks remain neu-

Russian loss is said to be great. British OFF,
