Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec IL The extraordinary
situation in which General Miles is placed by the
annual report of the Secretary of War which
specifically charges him with disobedience Of
orders in accepting the surrender Of the Apaches,
is the theme of conversation and gossip in army
circles. Referring to the subject, to-day, the
Post says:
According to the army regulations, he should
be at oace placed under arrkst and tried by
court martial but he is at large. is entertained
at dinners the honored guest of the Secre-
tary, and is receiving marked attentions from
other official sources. Just what it all means no
seems to know. The expression seems to
prevail in military circles that Mics is scape-
goat for somebody. The General is az silent as
the grave about it, and all his friends can get
out of him is pensive smile and an assurance
that it will all be explained after while

A Way Lord nIacaulav Had.

"When l was in London, in the fifties,
writes Brooklyn friend. Il used to have
a great fancy for running around the
by-lanes and corners, and of hunting up
places of historical or literary interest,
that the guide books barely mention and
that few travellers go to see. Among my
haunts was an old, low-ceiled tavern,
with a sanded floor two feet below the
level of the sidewalk. used to go there
and drink 'alf-and-'alf," and try to
bring up images of the wits of the last
century, who used to sit in that same
room and drink 'alf-and- 'alf,' too. One
day an image materialized, for, while l
was sitting beside table, with my pew
ter pot half emptied, observed that a
large man in a cloak had entered. His
face was round, pale and bushy, but the
eyes were bright, and his bushy eye
brows slid up and down with quick
changes of expression. He heavily sat
down at the table next to mine, and di-
rectly a waiter came in with a big plate
of bread and cheese and a glass of ale,
and set it before him. He ate and drank
heartily, and after finishing his lunch sat
upright and rested his hands on a heavy
case. l could see only his back; but,
from occasional movements of his head,
such as man makes when he is argu-
ing in earnest, 1 surmised that he was do
ing some pretty hard thinking.
Suddenly he reached for his empty
glass and hurled it on the floor with all
his strength, smashing it into slivers.
He sat for minute longer, then got up
slowly, tipped the waiter, paid his
reckoning at the bar and passed out. He
had not uttered word. The waiter got
a broom, swept up the pieces of glass
and cleared the table. I asked him if
the gentleman's intellect was little in
need of repair. oh, no, sir, said he.
That's nothink unusual with i'm, sir.
Wy, he's broke maybe 'undrd glahsses
since he's been a-comin' to this 'ouse. II
don't know it when e does it. 'Es ~
thinkin', and it seems like as he got mad
at somethink e was thinkin' about
who is hep Lord Macaulay, SIR
Critic.

nIexican Indians, Love of DIspIaY.


The besetting vice of the Indians is
consuming love for spectacular display.
In some respects it is rather virtue; for
example, when expressed in love for
and display of flowers. Think of an Irish,
negro, or American housewife of the
Tower classes spending in the market the
half of her last shilling for bouquet to
take home to her family. The idea is
preposterous. But could have taken
you last Sunday to the village plaza
where these poor Indians congregate
weekly to sell to each other their fruits
and wares, and you would have witnessed
the sale of wreaths of flowers, punches
of roses and bouquets along with
potatoes and corn meal. True, a cent
and half will buy a bouquet, but the
flower girls customers are as reliable
here as among the grand ladies. A less
agreeable manifestation of this passion
is the everlasting ringing of bells and
firing of crackers upon birthdays, saints
days-and they are maryland national
holidays. 1t is now the 9th of May, the
national 4th of July of Mexico. Tlal-
manalco is a small and obscure village,
and the principal celebrations take place
in towns, but the din of church bells, the
explosion of crackers and improvised
cannon, since daybreak, has been hor-
rible. The Indians stand on their house
tops and fire explosive rockets in the day
time for hours at time. In front of the
Ayuntimiento a band of twenty pieces,
all Indians, is discoursing music at a
furious rate. Professions, flags, banners,
more bands, more bell-ringing and
cracker-firing will make life burden to
anyone gifted with sensibilities above
that of the brute creation.-Mexico Cor
Cleveland Leader
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1886-09-02

Some time ago Sunset Cox forwarded
to Senator Brown from Egypt package
of cotton seed that had been found en-
tombed with a mummy. The mummy
belonged to the race of the Pharaohs,
and had been pronounced dead 1000
years before Mr.. Cox discovered the re-
mains. Three of the seed were sent by
Senator Brown to DR.. Connally, of this
city, and were duly submitted to the test
of sun and soil. They were planted in
tubs, filed with highly fortified dirt,
and were carefully watched and watered
for period of thirty days. In spite of
this the seed failed to sprout, and they
were finally dug up and examined. They
were filled with dust, and it is supposed
that the germ of life that once had ex-
listed in their frail shells had passed away
utterly.-Atlanta Constitution.
