town of Lake Charles, in the extreme
Southern part of the State, which has
a population according to the late
census, of s3s, has recently purchased
fire engine and in few hours after
its test saved large lot of property
with it, So much for energy and en-
terprisc, the people of the town sre
elated over the purchase. The town
also has a Babcoek corps that does
efficient service. Why can we not
have some protection from fret The
cost would be trifing and our people
wonid feel much more secure when
they knew that help of a substantial
kind could be had st a moments no

said according to the last census We
had population of SIS, instead of has
etc, it wonld have been better. Our
population to-day is estimated at 5000
and if We can read the signs of the
times, a census taken in the wear 1890
will show US to have a population of
at least 5000.

NICHoLASvILLE, KY, March cit is re-
ported from the mouth of Paint Lick, near
here, that daughter of William Walker, a
farmer, recently gave birth to an illegiti-
mate child, and that the family, to hide her
shame, buried the child alive.
The story goes that Walkers youngest
daughter gave birth to a child last Monday.
Tuesday evening, it is said, one of the, mar
ried daughters, the grandmother, and the
mother of the child left their
home with the baby and slowly
proceeded into . field, where they buried
it in a hole about a foot deep, placing q rock
upon the new-made earth. Close to this
grave is heavy thicket of trees and under
growth, concealed In which were three
men-John Reynolds, Silas Adams, and
Jefferson Reynolds 1sra - r8t8
After the burial it is claimed that they ex.
humed the babe and found it still alive.
There is said to be great excitement over
the matter, and the grandmother has been
arrested. The other women cannot be
found, and posse is searching for them.
The condition Of the mother is such that
she is certainly unable to travel far, and the
impression is that she is concealed in some
ledge or cave on the banks of the river, this
part of the country being wild and
Astounding in many retreats beset with
devious ways likely to deceive the
most energetic pathfinder. Others,
however, believe THAT thes womens disap-
pearance is only temporary, they waiting
for the excitement to subside, the disappear
ance being resorted to to give the mother
time to gain sufficient strength to appear for
an examination. The babe died shortly
after it was rescued.

1t must:cause a .pleasurable thrill in
the average American bosom to read
that Sitting Bull and his warriors are
coming money in New York, and that
they are pleased with the town. Sit.
ting Bull gets dollar apiece for his
autographs, and there is such q demand
for them, that he will be obliged to hire
deputy. The Sioux chief and his
companions are treated with the most
distinguished consideration, although
by strange oversight they have not yet
been formally presented, with the free
DOM of the city. He really should be
made the guest of the city, and his
statue should be erected in Central
Park We do not know why this has
been neglected, but possibly. the New
York city authorities are OF the opinion
that an action on their part might be
regarded as 4 slight by General Han
cock, who, representing the United
States army, is, entitled to the prece-
dence in bringing homage to the Sioux
chief. Out on the plains, he ran after
the United States soldiers, and now
that it is safe to do so, they should run
after him. Sitting Bull and his Indians
have murdered, tortured and robbed
many white men, women, and children,
who were in no way connected with the
army, still the fact that he and his
tribe killed and scalped several hun
dred United States officers and soldiers
in a body, clearly make it incumbent on
the army to take the lead in the process
sion.
Sitting Bull is undoubtedly success,
looking at him from military stand
point. He is also successful in ac-
cumulating the money ofathe pale face,
but he might have made much more
money if he had been betteracauainted
with the sentiments and feelings Of the
American people. Nodoubt he regrets
that he was not better posted when he
started on his triumphal march through
the heart of the most civilized portion
of this country. s~& s>@
1t is very plain that he might have
utilized his Opportunities much better
than he has done. There must be
somewhere in his possession hundreds
of scalps, not only of officers and SOL
diers of the United States army, but OF
women and children. Ii he had only
taken these relics with him, what re-
munerative prices might he not, have
obtained for them? The New York
dudes and dudines who plank down a
dollar for the mere autograph of the
Sioux chief, would almost fight for the
privilege of paying hundred dollars
for the faXen scalp that had been torn
from some poor woman's darling. If
the scalp of the mother, who under
went aworse fate than death, and was
subsequently tortured to death, were
added, there are doubtless wealthy New
York dudes who would pay $500 for
the trophy. While liberal reduction
might be made to the purchaser of the
sca1ps of the entire family, still the
amount realized would exceed the an
nual pension of Mrs. General Custer,
which is the princely sum of $3.50.
Mrs. General Custer is the widow Of

If child is so unfortunate as to chop
off one of his fingers with a meat ak ii
does not follow that he is to remain mu-
tilated for life. DIR. Fave, of Finistere,
was called to one whose first finger was
hanging by small piece of skin. Not
being willing to do surgical work at
night he put the finger in place and
braced it with couple Of corset bones.
Next day the finger was doing so well
that he did not disturb it. In four days
there was evidence of union, in ten days
the child could move the finger. and in
month he was completely cured. No
stitches were used. DR.. Fave thinks
that there is too much hasty surgery.
and the editor of the Journal de Mede-
cine, in agreement with him, says that
with modern surgical dressings fingers
may often be saved, even when COM
