a Dream that Cam. True

From the Illustrated Sporting Ne11s,
In 1854 a man dreamed that the Stewards
Cup at GOgdwOod was on by & horse named
PumicestOne. When he woke he looked {
the entries and found that there was no horse
colt without a name-an animal entered by
Lord Chesterfield He wrote to Lord Ches-
terfeld. relating the circumstance, and ask
ing whether he might take the liberty of beg
gDg his lordship to name the horse according
to he dream.
Lord Chesterfield replied, saying that he
had sold the colt to Lord Wilton, that it was a
very Oderate animal, in no way likely to
win good handicap, but that he would for
ward the letter TO the present owner. Lord
Wilton received il in due course, thought that
PumicestOne was as good a name as any other
he could think Of, and so the colt was named.
1t won the stewards Cup in a fie d of 81.

The Virginia. Nenatorshin.

The Legislature of Virginia which met
yesterday will almost Immediately pro-
coed 70 perform the pleasant duty of elect
ing a successor to Senator Malone. Mr..
Mahone's term in the United States Sem
ate expires year from next March, and
his successor will be Democrat. There
are several cand dates, any one of whom
would represent the State creditably and
satisfactorily. The most prominent are
Representative j. Randolph Tucker, Rep
resentative John r. Barbour, Judge Wal
ter r. Staples. and Hon. John W. Daniel.
Mr.. Barbour has the credit OF having con.
tributed more to secure Mr.. Mahone's
overthrow than any one else. 1t was his
admirable management that enabled his
party to win the last election, and the
election that preceded it. He is a man of
wealth, and it is probable that in his can
vass for the Senatorship he will have the
assistance of the great corporations OF the
State.
His most active and strongest competi-
tor is Mr.. Daniel, who is perhaps, all
things considered, Virginia's greatest
orator. He is a comparatively young
man, but very popular. He is the leader
Of the young Democracy. In the late
campaign he did excellent work on the
stump. 1t is thought that as the situa-
ton now is Mr.. Daniel is the favorite.
Judge Staples and Representative
Tucker are both very able and very popu-
lar men. Mr.. Tucker is particularly
well qualified to represent his State in
the Senate. He has been in Congress a
long time, and is not only a man OF great
ability but is scholar of high attain
ments.
OF course the caucus will decide upon
the candidate. The Democrats have a
majority Of 80 on joint ballot. II lie not
certain that the Republicans will present
a candidate. Doubtless Virginia will
have a season OF rejoicing wien Mr.. Ma
hone leaves the Senate forever.

An Improvement Suggested.

In view of the proposition to repair the
railing around Forsyth Park, it might
be well for the City Council to consider
the advisablity of removing it altogether
and substituting a simple cut stone curb
ing, which could be extended so as to en-
close both the park and the parade
ground. The removal of the fence would
permit the making of carriage
way through the parade ground,
so as to connect East and
West Gwinnett street. A street from
extending Gwinnett or Hall streets, is
necessary to meet the requirements of
that growing section of the city. There
is now no thOrOughfare between the east
ern and western sections, divided by the
line of Bull street, from CASTOR to New
Houston streets. A driveway through
the park extension, passing round the
Confederate monument, would be OF
great advantage. With stone
curbing on either side, it would
improve the appearance OF the parade
ground and not interfere with its use
for military purposes or as promenade.
In fact it would be rather an improve
ment, as such thoroughfare, macadam-
lied, or paved with asphalt, would be an
admirable place for reviewing troops.
Gwinnett street is the longest thorough
fare in the city, extending from the
Waters road on the east to western con-
fines of the Springfield plantation on the
west.
The only improvement that would be
necessary at this time is that alreadv sug-
gested, viz, the substitution of cut stone
curbing for the railing around the park.
and for the fence around the parade
ground. 1t would be better, of course, to
put the curblng along the sid of Gwin-
nett street where it crosses the parade
ground, at the time the other curbing 10
done. The paving of the street might be
left for future time although it might be
well to do the whole work at once.

however, and says that sit is absolutely
certain that If the Democratic party
hopes to retain the confidence of the coun-
try it must largely reduce the expendi-
lures OF the government. 1t is possible
that during the coming session of Con-
gress one or two subjects will require ex-
penditures beyond the average OF recent
years, and when such is the case a Demo-
cratic House cannot hesitate to pass the
appropriation only on the justice of the
measure for their vindication, but il is
certain that the aggregate appropriations
for the present year and for a number Of
years past, greatly exceed the real wants
OF the government" IL really begins TO
look as If the country had struck period
of genuine economy. There is hope for
the republic when the administration and
Congress insist on the strictest honesty
and economy in the smallest exl endI-
lures. Some Republicans sneered when
the Secretary OF the Treasury maze a new
contract for washing the towels of the
Treasury Department because be could
effect saving of quite little sum. but
the towel incident only illustrated the
fact that this administration doesn't pro.
pose to waste the peoples money.

The Arizona champion., 1885-12-12

A RELIGIOUS newspaper named ZAe Chrstian at Work. recently pub liched an article on the Indian ques ton which was reproduced in the Library Magazine for November, thu: giving it much wider circulation,
 rhe writer of the article, one Thomi IS K. Cree, is arguing in favor Of wha, is known as "rhe peace policy" ad opted during General Grants first administration, and which placed the control of Indian agencies in large measure under board composed oI representatives of different religious denominations. In speaking of the results of this movement, the article says:
 "The last section to feel the change was Arizona, a poor, forsaken, hot, sandy country, occupied by a few miners and adventurers, and the home Of the dreaded Apache. The Con- missi on sent its Secretary to visit these hostile Indians. Every obstacle was thrown in his way. The army ofic- CTS instead of helping, hindered him. The local press invented new invec tives with which to assail him ih his mission. But the arrangement he made gave peace to all that reglon. A year later General o. O Howard visited Cochise, the great Apache chef. A report of the visit reads more ikea romance than a reality. He perfected the details of the ar engagements already made, and since then there has been no trouble with the Apaches, with exceptions of out breaks by small bands, sometimes goaded to it by wrong, or of parties of Indians from Old Mexico. The then widest Indian tribes are now settling down as farmers, are building their modest ibins; their children are being gathered into schools as rapidly as Cong ess pro. vides for it; and an Indian war of any magnitude is less probable than. one with the cowboy, who is to-day the veritable savage of the frontier"
 It would be mere waste of words to attempt to. refute the lies above quoted, and the extract is published merely to show the falsehoods tha, are being propogated by the religious press of the East. Is it any wonder that,many people there have absurd ideas regarding the Indianss Believ- ing, as they do, tha, Satan is the fath. CT of lies. the publishers of the CArg5k, fan at jpe,k ought to change the name of that sheet and call it the Deyiaf Work. s.a
