previous occasion.
The faithful Indian was guarding his
door. He offered no resistance at the en-
trance, but trotted on before as the inva.
ders passed the narrow door and led the
way to where the girl sat. She was
wrapped In furs to keep warm. The anx-
ious father rushed forward to clasp his
daughter to his bosom, but the old relic OF
noble race placed his warped
frame between father and child. Like man
OF straw the Indian was pushed away. No
word Of meaning but a wall OF anguish
burst from his lips The girl sprang to her
feet. The father was hurled back as II he
had tried TO embrace tigress. The In
dian was addressed In his native tongue by
one OF the cowboys, and gave signs, after
some delay, that he understood the situa-
tion.
He communicated to the frightened child
by signs and grunts, and she settled down
on the robe and stared with wild eyes on
those around her. After long, one-sided
conversation the old cave-dweller expressed
his consent that his ward should go with
her father. She could speak no language,
but was quieted by pantomine on the
part Of her protector. To make the story
short, Mr.. Holbrook, by great deal OF
persuasion and force, succeeded In getting
his daughter to the house of friend. The

Ing across the continent and separating her
from the only human being who can con-
verse with her.
In 1877 Mr.. Holbrook was engaged In oAe
stock business on Salmon river. The first
raid Of Joseph's warriors was In that coun.
try, and Mrs. Holbrook and her 3-year old
child were taken prisoners. Mrs Hol-
brook was released after fearful torture,
but never recovered from the injuries
and nervous shock. The little girl
was supposed to have been murdered 1t
now transpires that che was rescued by the
old dumb Indian and carried to his lonely
home, where she lived nine years without
hearing human voice or seeing human
being except the deformed and feeble old
man.
This old Indian was once member Of the
Nez Perces tribe, but was decided to be a
sorcerer or witch, and was condemned to
have his tongue cut out and be banished.
For years, too far back 10 be reekoned on
the tablets OF the aboriginal intellect, he
has lived in that gloomy cave. He has
made visits TO the settlement and traded
furs TO the whites for powder and lead.
Fish, game, roots, and berries have been
his only food, and skins of wild animals his
only clothing in all those years Of loneliness.

carpenter in Cleveland Leaderl
Senator Bruce, though he still holds on
to his estate in Mississippi, lives at Wash
ington during the winter, and John Lynch,
who was one OF the presidents of the last Ma
tional Republican convention, leaves his
cotton plantations near Natchez In the fall
and does not return to them again until
the spring.
Mr.. Lynch was prosecuting the study OF
law In Washington during the past winter,
and the booksellers tell me he bought many
books. lie Is well educated aud cultured,
and is worth, am told, about 100000.
Bruce Is also ricL, and his little boy, Ros-
coe Conkling Bruce, will have fortune
should his father die.
Fred Douglass does not live In Washing
ton, but his home is SO near II that he can
reach It by the street cars. lie owns a very
pleasant residence on the hills above
Uniontown, one OF the suburbs of Wash
ington. II is worth perhaps $4,000. From
his windows he can see the capitol and the
whole city spread out before him, and his
home is q part OF the Van Hook estate,
which was divided into lots and sold on
the condition that no eolored man should
be ever allowed to purchase them.
Representative Harris, the colored con-
gresham from North Carolina, lives In
three story brick house In the fashionable
northwest portion Of the city. His house
is In the same block as that OF Senator
Cockref, Of Missouri, and It is not stones
throw from the Pendleton mansion, In
which Secretary Endicott lives.
Representative Smalls, OF South Carolina,
boards here in Washington, but / under
stand he is wealthy and that his daughters
have been educated In the seminaries OF
Massachusetts,.
John +. Cook, the tax collector OF the
District Of Columbia, ia said TO be worth
500, coo, and he has held his present office
for fifteen years.
John NJ, LangstoD, the ex.minister to
Hayti, is rich, and there are large number
OF the Washington colored men who own
fine houses and valuable lands. | went 10
buy lot on the hills above Washington
the other day, aud found that some OF the
best property Of Washington city was In
the hands Of n colored real estate agent
Among his property found a house which
considered bargain, and upon asking for
the owner was told that he was a colored
barber.
George W. Williams, the first colored
member who ever sat In the Ohio legislature,
and the man whom Arthur appointed min
lister to IIaytl, and Bayard refused to CON
firm, tells me that there are 100 negroes
in Washington worth 500, 600, at least fifty
worth $4,000, aud nearly thousand worth
5000 apiece.

that no one can take ofrense at his haste
Senator Blair has an almost daily delegation
OF temperance women to see him. He
receives an immense amount Of feminine
adulation, and can take compliments with
inimitable grace. lie is an adept, too, In
getting away from his feminine admirers
when he gets tired Of their talk.
OF the members OF this House Barnes
Compton seems to receive the most cards.
This is due partly to the proximity of his
constituency. George d. Wise is close
second, with Mr.. McComas about equal.
Next comes Perry Belmont, Of New York.
The leaders Of the House are not often
called out. Morrison seldom receives
card, and when he does he is the slowest
man in Congress In getting TO the reception
room. Randall will not see any one during
the morning hour, and at all times shows
an unwillingness to leave the floor. Reed
refuses no one an audience when he is not
busily engaged. Hiseock scrutinizes q
card very closely before he will leave his
seat, and is not 80 genial as the Maine
leader.

CHANGE OF BISHOPS.
Bishop.Keane Likely to BE Elevated to
an Archbishopric.

A priest connected with st. Peters Ca
thedral at Richmond says that is not prob
able that Bishop Keane will resume his du-
ties in that city after his return from Rome,
whittier he has been sert to get the pope's
approval Of the plans for the Catholic uni
versity. 1t is the general impression among
the Virginia clergy that the bishop will, on
his arrival in this country, be made coadju-
tor cum jure successionis to one of the
chbishops-perhaps the cardinal. This is
to be followed by the appointment of Bishop
Kain, OF Wheeling, to the bishopric OF
Richmond. Bishop Keane has been at the
Richmond cathedral much OF the time since
his namesake has been away, and the Cath
olics Of the city are already beginning to
look upon him as their coming pastor.
The members Of st. PatrIck's Church, In
this city, of which Bishop Keane was
pleasure to his sprobable elevation, as
he was perhaps the most popular young
priest OF his day here. He 1t was who Or
ganzed most of the societies connected
with the parish, and he too placed the Car
roll Institute on its present substantial
basis. When he left here to take charge of
the diocese Of Richmond he received more
valuable presents than any retiring priest In
the history Of the city. Among the pres
ents, II will be remembered, was solid
gold chalice set with rubies and other prec-
ious stones, presented to him by the wife of
the then Peruvian minister. The bishop
was known while here as the most eloquent
among the priests Of the city, and his SER
mons drew large congregations OF Protest.
ants as well as Catholics. He increased his
reputation for eloquence In Richmond aud
also acquired the reputation OF being an
able business man.
His probable successor and namesake,
Bishop Kahn, OF Wheeling, was class
mate. They were educated together at st.
Charles's college, Elllcott City,, Nd,
graduated the same day, received TEX
aequo," the highest honors, and began their
prlestly careers, one In West Virginia and
the other In Maryland. They were then
and have been since the closest friends.
Both are widely known and liked in Vir-
ginia, and the people there will be glad TO
keep one Of them as their bishop. Both
are very handsome men, but the Wheeling
prelate carries off the palm In this respect.
He is considerably over six feet In height,
broad shouldered, and manly In form, has
round, rosy face, with strong, regular
features, aud pair OF sparkling brown
eyes. He was the favorlte Of the ladies
who visited the cathedral at Baltimore
during the late plenary council. His ser
mons are fervld and appealing rather than
argumentatiye. The bishop o. Rchmond
is not so tall, and rather too stout to be
handsome. His face is a strong one, aud
bears more evident traces Of intellectually
| than that Of his namesake. His expression
| is particularly sweet and winning, He is
an argumentative pulpit orator, and never
lets passion run away with reason. The
| two friends and classmates have bright
| prospects before them, and 1t is the opinion
In Catholic circles that they will both reach
archbishoprics before many years have

THEIR CONSTITUENTS SEEN.
Senators and Members Who LegisIate
in the Reception Rooms.

Senators and Members Who Legislats
in the Reception Rooms,
The doorkeepers OF the House and Senate
say that they are buster taking in cards this
session than at any time during their expe-
rlence. Some Of the senators and members
are Obliged to divide their time about
equally between the floor and the reception
rooms. Wade Hampton seems to be most
sought. There are always cards on his
desk, and he can be found surrounded by
friends In the marble room at almost any
hour during the session, lie has never been
known TO refuse to see any one who sent In
a card, and only when necessary does he
keep one waiting. Senator Payne seems 10
have a large number of friends here who
are anxious to see him at the capitol. He
generally waits till he has four or five cards
on hand before leaving the chamber and so
obVlates the necessity FOR considerable walk
ing. Mr.. Payne has, perhaps, more lady
callers than any man In the Senate.
Senator ingalls, Is frequently called
for, too, but he does not talk with
his visitor In the marble room. Walking
up and down the corridor seems TO recon-
cile him to boredom. In this way, too, he
sometimes tires out the legs OF a man whose
tongue could never be fatigued. The sena-
tor Is most genial to any one who keeps
him but a short time, but he gets into
gTimly 81 tirical mood when he Is assailed
by bores. Senator Sherman seems TO be
another great favorite with visitors to the
capitol. lie can get rid OF caller more
adroitly than any other man In Congress.
lie generally grasps callers hand, holda
on 10 II a minute or so, and then, with a
warm pressure which meaus that time Is
up, he Ietlres, but with such genial words
