a Boys Confession to Leo NH.

A friend of mine lately had q private
audience of the holy father. writes a
Rome correspondent Of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. He took his son with
him-a most intelligent, original little
fellow Of s years of age. Leo XIII. is
very fond OF children. He is Il nerv-
Gus, cold, reserved Ia TO grown-up

kind 10 little folk. Claude. my friends
son, was soon mounted upon the holy
fathers knee, perfectly at case, with
all that divine Inconsistencies of chill
dren; moreover, he is accustomed to
clericals. His best play-fellows out of
The nursery are q certain learned dis
tinguished Thomist Dominican and a
scholarly Benedictinc father. So
Claude played with the popo's cross,
and listened, half-comprehendingly, to
the conversation On the difficulties and
responsibilities OF parents, and tho pro-
disposition to good or evil of children.
The pope looked tcndcrly down on
dear little Claude and said, II hope
you arc always Il good boy" Claude

lion, "Oh no! l bit Marie yesterday"
"What'" cried the pope. ''Bit
whom?"
''Marie, my sister," said Claude.
.'She called me Il little pig and l bit
her hard on the arm"
That was too much for the popo's
self-control; he burst into Il hearty peal
of laughter, then said; ''lt was not
nice in your sister to call you names,
to be sure; but you ought not to have
bitten her, you know"
"Of course not!' exclaimed Claude,
with delightful agreement. 'for you
see l am neither a pig nor a dog"
Again his holiness went Oft into an

New YORK, Aug. 6.-The remains of
Gen. Grant reached here at S p. m. yes
terday. Fully sixty thousand people
viewed the remains ut Albany. The trip
to New York was made without acct
dent. At every station large crowds
gathered and stood with uncovered heads
as the funeral train passed. On arrival
here the body was taken at once to the
city hall where forty thousand people
looked on the face of the dead general
before midnight. The decorations of the
Loyal Legions of Honor and G. A. r.
have been placed on the generals breast.
The body lies in state until Saturday,
when the final ceremonies and inter.
ment take place.
IMMENSE CROWDS.

that a hundred thousand people viewed

is still crushing at the city hall.

CRY PROPERTY in Devils Lake, always
valuable, is now considered gilt-edged,
and the owners of lots are wearing broad

that Devils Lake is the acknowledged
business center of a vast region, most Of
which must remain tributary to the town
for many years; and, second, the mills
and elevators already established here
invite permanent trade and guarantee
substantial investments.

DIVISION OR ADMISSION?

1t is the belief ofmen in q position to
know that some action will be taken by
congress next winter for the political
relief of Dakota. Whether that relief
will come in the shape of division or in
the form of admission as a whole can
not now be determined, but those rep
resentatives of the party now in power
in the house of represen tatives with
whom We have recently conversed are
inclined to the belief that it will be adj
mission as a whole. It is doubtless too
much to expect of the Democratic party
to hope for division on the 10th parallel
and admission of one or both the parts.
1t is, moreover, too much to expect
division without admiss ion, for the
former means the latter ultimately;an and
two new Republican states is more than
the Democratic party will engage to
wrestle with at one time, unless the
division of Texas in two or three parts
can be figured into the deal.
Heretofore the excuse of the Demo.
cratic party for keeping Dakota out OF
the sisterhood of states has been that
the people of the Territory were unfit
for self-government. This opinion was
predicated upon the character and con.
duct of the Especial car" fiends who
went to Washington three years ago"tc
show the congressman and senators the
kind of timber we have in Dakota
The instigators of that Especial carr &c
were the slippery politicians and the
Especial" passengers were for the mos
part the same kind of men. As a re
suit the congressman and senators
formed a poor opinion of "the represen
tative Dakotans." The old crowd o
poker players and convention manipu
lators who went to Washington thel
will no doubt get up another excursion
when the matter comes up again. The,
will 60 down to the capital wearin!
broad brimmed hats and a cowbo,
swagger just as they did three years ago
They will demand division or admission
in the name of half a million homes
people whom they have plundered ant
disgraced, and congress will again con
clude that "the people of Dakota ar
unfit for self.government."
So long as the political blatherskite
of Dakota are permitted to pose as tin
representatives of q great territory ant
a vast population, so long will the re
spectacle element be DISTINGUISHED
Combinations are already forming t,
capture the new state, if one is formed

if they expect to have a representativ

WASHINGTON, Aug. Seen. Sheridan's
report to the president Of the results Of
the investigation in the Indian territory
was made public last evening. The
general held conferences with the In
dams, cattlemen and all parties inter-
ested, and gives the full details of his
visit. The general thinks the Indians
were unduly influenced in signing the
leases to the lands and thinks that some
of the later leases need investigation.
He thinks there are too many white men
around the agency and says the affairs
need recognizing. His recommends
ton, with the order of the president re-
garding the leases, will allay all appre-
tensions Of an outbreak and cause q
peaceful settlement of the question.
