cious English mind should by this time fail
to find further diversions in the Garmoyle
Fortescue affair, but it appears otherwise That
stale sensation has been given new lease Of life
by prominent artist who exhibits the portrait of
the young actress at a spring exhibition of pict-
ures. She is represented in q pensive and
lackadaiscal attitude, and with sorrowful ex-
preston of face, the suggestiveness of the pict-
ure being enhanced by the title, ''Lost Illu-
sions" There is no ground for libel in the repre-
sentation, as it will help the young actress in an
advertising way; the only occasion for comment
lies in the fact that the picture is the center Of
attraction for curious sght-seers.

THERE was rumor, recently, that Rev. DR..
Henson, the well-known Baptist clergyman
loved and honored everywhere, and in Indian
apols by all who have met and heard him-was
going to resign his charge in Chicago To re-
porter who Intercepted him, the good Doctor
replied that there is no place with which he is
acquainted where faithful work is SO well appre-
cated and so well rewarded as in Chicago. The
reporter continues. that DR.. Henson said he
.sWas little taken aback by the frankness of
the people when he first came here, but this
characteristic has grown to charm him. Soon
after his arrival he met a man to whom he casu-
ally remarked, L suppose you are ChrlstianF
Not much! replied the man. Why, you believe
in the BibleP "Not id bit A few days
after he was accosted by his acquaintance, who
said Say, Doctor, you believe thus and SO, don't
you! naming over catalogue OF monstrosltles
that are supposed by the disciples of Bob 1nger-
soil to be the daily bread of all faithful Christians
The Doctor assured him he cherished no such opin-
ions, which so astonished his skeptical friend
that he came to see him at his house, and is now
enc of the pillars Of his church. 1T is this
frankness.' said Dr. Henson, showing, me just
what man is, that makes me feel that can
work in Chicago to some purpose"
If DR.. Henson is charmed" when man re-
plies to ~ polite inquiry with the answer mot a
d bit" he would be thrown into perfect
ecstasies could he have heard the remark made
on one occasion by well treasurer of a
church in this city, member of its officiary.
The church was engaged in building, and this
Crank brother, being the treasurer paid all the
bills One Saturday the plasterer came with
the architects estimate, which the Crank
churchman closely examined, and then handed
it back to the artisan with the remark, THAT
bill is all right; it ought to be paid but the fact
is there isn't a d cent in the treasury 1t is
thousand pities that DR.. Henson's lines have not
been cast here, where he could be charmed"
with little of Indianapolis 'frankness." 1t is

PROBABLY the most sensitive person on record
is lady living at Kingston, Tenn, who has been
recluse for sixteen years on account Of the dis
closure of her name at that time as the author
Of an article in favor Of prohibition, which
appeared in a local paper. The gossip and SEN
sation created both by the article and the author
ship. so mortified the young woman that she has
ever since lived secluded life, being rarely
seen by any save her own family. Here is the
only instance known of the kind, the usual effect
of such disclosures of authorship being to bring
ashower of similar communications from the same
pen. Neither, it may be remarked regretfully,
are other writers on prohibition likely to be
affected in the same manner, through sympathy,
after hearing of the Tennessee woman.

November, before we reached ST.

Two or three days after the arrests
number of the officers met in the
ward-room and called in number of
the ships crew and examined them.
The statements and even the opinions
OF each witness were taken down. but
the accused men were not allowed to
face their accusers, were not told what
the charges were in detail and were
not granted any opportunity for expla-

Of Mr.. Ensign the family saw moth

inquired of Annelsey regarding him,
but that gentleman knew. or appeared
to know, little about him. Ensign was
still in the employ of the company, he
thought; perhaps swinging pick in
the tunnel; or may be at work on the
flume. Having nothing to do with the
accounts or directing the labors of the
workmen, Mr.. Annelsey could, he said,
tell nothing further about him.
Whether Mrs. Parsons was pleased at
the frequency of Mr.. Annelsey's visits
or not it would have been hard to tell.
She treated him courteously, and ap-
peared to throw no obstacles in the way
of his attention to her daughter. If she
noticed the dislike which Erastus evinced
at his presence she held her peace and
said nothing.
As for her husband, he looked for his

WAsHINaToN, February 3.--Assistant
Secretary JosIyn of the Interior Department
rendered his decision in the case of the ap-
plication for pension of Martha Lawson
minor child of q deceased private soldier.
The question presented was whether the
soldier at the date of his death was in the
line of his duty, and tire decision broadens
sensibly to a construction not heretofore
placed upon the pension laws. ''In this
case,o says Assistant Secretary JOslyn, lit
appears that the soldier was granted per
mission by his superior officer to go to his
home for the purpose OF seeing his
wife who was very i'll. After his arrival
home his wife died. and Immediately
after death and before her burial the
soldier started back to his company. and
while OH his way back was captured by the
enemy and taken to Andersnnville prison.
where he died in September. When this
soldier was captured he was on his way to
join his command, and was captured with
out any fault of his, and was placed in
such a position that he could not return to
his company when his leave of absence ex-
pred. The evidence shows that he
was not deserer. and therefore
was i'm line of dny. Tie soldiers disease,
which resulted in his death. having been
incurr.si while in captivity, and after the

Stockmen Permitted to Craze Cattle on
the Laad-t -ll-r's Nice Distinction.
WASHINGTON, February cit has been
asserted with emphasis, and as strongly de-
MED. that cattle men were occupying large
portions of Oklahoma by permission of the
Government Secretaries Lincoln and Tel
Ter have both been quoted on the subject,
and with some apparent contradiction. A
search of the record shows that what has
transpired of an official character on this
precise point is as follows: On June Is,
1888, General Pope telegraplled from Fort
LeavenwOrth to the Adjutant General:
"Mr. B. II. Campbell is grazing about two
thousand head of stock in Oklahoma, and
claims to have authority from the Secretary
If he has such authority, and what Is to be
done in the matter.
The telegram was sent to Secretary
Lincoln, who, on June 80, enclosed 1t TO
Secretary Teller, in the following:
"Sir: / have the honor to iEclose herewith
for your information u copy of n telegram Of
the 18th instant from the Commanding Cen
ing that ID. II. Campbell is grazing about OU
head of stock in Oklahoma. and that he
claims to have been authorized by the Secre-
tary of the Interior TODD SO. Will you please
advise this department whether Mr.. camp
bell has been authorized to Craze cattle as
above statedT
Secretary Teller, on the 10th of July, re-
sponded as follows:
"Sir: have yours concerning the occupa-
ton OF Oklahoma by Mr.. Campbell for the
purpose of grazing cattle Mr. Campbell has
no special authority to Craze in that section.
He WAS grazing on the lands occupied by the
Arapahoes and Cheyennes, who were com
planning of his occupation, and desiring him
to remove. told him In answer to 4 request
to he allowed to go in the Oklahoma country.
that il he drove his herd there temporarily,
and did not attempt q permanent lodsment
the department would not interfere. j think
occupation or the character of Mr.. Camp
bells a matter of no concern TO the depart
ment. 1t is quite different from that Of
Payne and his followers, who propose per-
manent occupation of the country. / under
stand that there are no Indians in the Okla
homa country"
The decision of the Interior Department
has stoed up to the present time, and not
only Mr.. Campbell, but several other cattle
men have occupied ranges in Oklahoma
without paying any tax, and free from
military interference, taking the risk, how
ever, of having their right to remain there
abrogated by an order from the Secretary
at any time.
