Red Jackets TOmahaWk .


One little anecdOte of Red Jacket
related by Judge Sheldon at the
meeting of the committee of the Buff
falo Historical society recently will
be found interesting; "There was
once" said the judge, "a blacksmith
shop on the corner where the postof-
flee now stands, kept by man nam
ed Reese. He was very fine work.
man. real artist In his line. One
day Red Jacket came into the shop
with his interpreter-he would never
speak English, you know. Well he
wanted new hatchet or tomahawk
made. They had some talk. but
Reese finally said he would make the
Ratchet for him, and told him to
come in two weeks for it,"
"When the time was up Red jack
ct came for his Ratchet. 1t was a
fine piece of workmanship, too. He
went off, but returned in a DAY or
two with the Ratchet. 1t didn't suit
him. OF course. Reese was mad,
but he told Red Jacket if he would
make model out of maple wood of
just such tomahawk as he wanted
he would make it for him. SO Red
Jacket made his model and brought
it to Reese, who told him TO come
after it in n week. Red Jacket came
in a week, with his interpreter, as
usual. Reese had told several people
and several were in the shop when
Red Jacket came in. Reese banded
him the Ratchet. Red Jacket looked
it all over. flung it across the room,
grunted Ugh, and went off mad as
! thunder. He had forgotten to make
/ an eye in his model, and Reese made
the Ratchet without An eye."

LOgan'S Only ChanC9.

SPRINGFIELD, H., Feb. 9.-ThOugh
both parties in the state legislature
have named their man for United
States Senator, the outlook for The
election seems no closer than before
their caucuspS. The situation is n tie
on the joint ballot, and the belief is
pretty well grounded that when the
ballot is taken on Tuesday neither
Logan nor Morrison can poll the full
strength Of his party. Some of G.. 3.
FarWell's friends will refuse to vote
for Logan and some of the friends of
Mayor Harrison. Of Chicago, will
not vote for Morrison, whose tariff
record will keep some away from
him, who fear a revolt by their con-
stituents if they vote for him.
The general impression Is that
neither Logan nor Morrison can he
elected and that the fight will be car
ried on until the end of the session,
so that the governor will have power
to appoint Logan's successor, in
which case he would doubtless name
Logan himself. Mayor Harrison
claims that he can secure Republican
votes and FarweIl claims that he
can get Democratic votes. The prob
abilities are that in case of change
of candidates these two will be pitted
against each other.

Expenses of Business.

A well informed meachant of BOs--
ton recently said to representative
of the Boston Herald that he had
been look ing back over his accounts,
and was surprised to find that since.
the close of the war there had been a
steady increase in the ordinary expen-
ses of carrying on business. Mere
Office work cost great deal more
now than it dill in 1865 more clerks,
were needed, and, on the whole, each
of these received higher pay. Asss--
lance was required in the receiving
and delivering departments to an ex-
tent and of a character that would
not have been dreamed oftwo decades,
ago. Then there a variety of Incl.
dental expenses that now entered in
to the compilation. There were tel.
ephOne charges, printing, the ex-
pense of solicitors, the whole making
up an amount sufficiently large to
eat up all that would have been con-
sidered fair profits quarter of cen
fury ago. 1t is probable that the ex-
perience in different trades varies,
and yet we fancy that in most lines,
of business statements somewhat
similar to the above might be made.
The tendency, all the time going on,
to lessen the hours of service. both in
Offices and workshops, would nfitSelf
make the cost 0fbuSinesS proportion
ateIy higher. The cheappniug pro-
cess, if there is one. would Seem,t0 be.
in charging the amount of business
which each concern carries on.

1t is q sad story that comes from
Indiana. The state treasury Is empty
and the fund for general expenses is
exhausted. The legislature is in ses-
sion, and there is no money to pay
the expenses. OF course. some ar
engagements will have to be made by
which money can be borrowed but
so far the Democratic majority has
prevented inquiries into the state
finances for no gwen reasons. Very
unpleasant differences are drawn OF
all sides from their peculiar action.
An instructive fact is brought out in
the despatch to the New York Times.
1t says: "When the Republicans had
control of the state it was practically
out Of debt now it is bankrupt and

A writer in a recent number of the
Rockville Sentinel calls for the re.
demption of what he pleased with
great display of mean partiHanism to
call "the Black District Of Mary
land" (meaning this, the SIXTH. In
the agony of his narrow little soul
this fellow cries out
at is awful hard that old Demo-
cratic Montgomery, the staunchest
county in the State, should stand
grouped with the Republican cOun,
ties, and it is to be hoped that if the
Democrats OF the other counties com
posing the Black District do not see
to it that we elect our candidate, that
our county may be taken from such a
District"
If there could only he positive
assurance that the election of Re-
publican to Congress in two years
from now would result in MOntg0m
cry county being taken out of the
District, we believe the four other
counties would cast solid vote
against the Democratic nominee. But
we unfortunately can have no such
happy assurance.
Montgomery county was put into
this District, as every intelligent man
knows, to weight it down. but the
effort was failure. We wish Mont.
gomery county would leave the Dis
trict.
The other counties are satisfied, and
if she is not let her 60 before she j.
kicked out. She would go in peace
and as quickl y as she dPsires-needn't
wait two years; and we don't care
whether you anchor out in the Red
Sea or settle down in the Soudan.

face again !-Cunlb. Nel0S.

MUTTON SHEEP.

An exchange says: One of the ar
gnments in favor Of mutton sheep
over COWS and beef cattle is the small
amount of capital required to start in
this branch Of husbandry, the com
paratively small amount of care in its
conduct, and the quick returns it
makes. They multiply SO rapidly that
a score will soon become a hundred,
and this with little care except at
lambing time. With little pains a
small flock can be cheaply bought in
the autumn which in the spring will
make return of wool and lambs that
will often pay the first cost and not a
little Of the winters keeping.

gram, dated June I'd, to the Pioneer
Press, says: Last night ". Fl. Nc
Murtie. Of Gallatin, went to the resi-
dence Of Mrs. Kate Allen, a highly
respected widow living oE the Maai-
son, and earnestly importuned her to
become his wife. This Mrs. Allen re-
fused to do, whereupon McMurtie
drew a revolver and fired, wounding
her in the hand and shoulder. She
ran from the house toward a neigh
boris, McAInrtie following with a fu-
silade Of pistol shots. Finding his
victim had escaped, hereturned to her
house and shot himself through the

yious rebellion. and those who have
had friends o. relatives put to death
or tortured by the rebels, all of whom
have taken oath to have Riei's life if
he is not sentenced to deaf. The
society will send representatives to
watch the trial at Regina. This
movement IS encouraged by the act of
the French half breeds here to raise
money to aid in Riel's defence. The
rebellion has demonstrated how ut
terly useless is the mounted police
force and Gen. Middleton has advised
the government to lose no time in
abolishing it. RE. is fast be-
coming an object Of contempt among
the Roman Catholics, from whom it
was expected that he would receive
aid in his trial. Rev. Father Andre
of Prince Albert states that he was
visited by Riel before the uprising,
who offered. If he would lend his in
huence to the half breeds in the re-
bell.on and get other Catholic priests
to do likewise; that the church should
receive half of all the half-breeas OBJ
tanned by the rebellion.. Father An
Dire indignantly refused to hear of
such a proposition. Riel then offered
to leave the countrylz the government
would give him $4,000. He complain
cd bitterly Of the way the government
treated him III 1879, Sir John Mac
donald having promised him $1,000
which he did not receive, to leave the
country. Sir John Macdonald, he
said, stated in the house that he had
only given him (RieD $1,000, but as a
matterof fact be had received through
II. prue over $1,000. These are facts
never before made public, and their
publication will create q great sensa=
ton all over Canada. Rel told
Father Andre that unless the govern
ment gave him enough money to car
r,y himself and family to Lower Can
ada he woullrais storm than would
cost them $50, 100000 and much blood
to subdue. Father Andre asked his
influence to induce the government to
comply with Rlel's demand, but the
government replied that they did not
wish to hear anything about Riel and
they would do nothing. This percip-
itated the rebellion. Rel at once
sought revenge. Half terrified, the
half-breeds flew to arms. This is the
inside history Of the half-breed rebel
lion of the Northwest.
