81 remember the iirsttime a man eve
Stone, the veteran circus rider. 1T was
back in '2s-before Van Amburgh's
time. 1t was down in New Orleans.
His name was Lane, and he had charge
of a lion and lioness named Ajax and
Nance. Ono day Ajax took sick and
Lane determined to go into the cage and
physic and nurse him, satisfied that the
lion was too sick to do him much injury
should he seek to attack him. Ajax
showed such IN appreciation of his kind
ness that he insisted on licking Lanes
hand with his tongue and rubbing his
head against his kness. / forgot to say
that before going into the cage Lane had
Nance par.itioned off in one end of the
cage. Willie she seemed to understand
what Lane was doing for her mate and
appreciated the kindness as highly as he
did, Nance would try to get Lane to lei
her lick his hand and paw him, and one
day he decided to go into the cage with
out shutting her OFT to herself. As he
expected, she was as atfectionate as she
could be, and joined Ajax in his demon
STATIONS of kindness and affection.
When Ajax recovered Lane announced
that he would go into the lions den, hu,
the public WAS afraid Ia come to the
show. The announcement of Daniel in
the lions den, a religious excmplifca-
ton, did not take, and there was no
such lithographing and pictorial worl,
done in those days.

THE SLAYER OF TEcuMsEH.


Col. Richard NJ. johnson UndoubtedIy
the Man-Details OF the Fight.
Col. Richard NJ. johnson had Tecum-
sch for his combatant, with a force
three times his number. As was their
custom, the Indians were concealed
from view by lying in the grass and
bushes and trees. Col. johnson selected
twenty men, with whom he advanced n
few rods in front of the main body to
bring on the battle without exposing the
whole to the first fire of the Indians.
While thus advancing they were fired
on and nineteen of the twenty fell. The
shot brought the Indians from their am
bush, when Col. johnson Immediately
ordered his men to dismount and adj
vance to combat. A dreadful conflict
ensued. The colonel alone remained,
and. moving forward amid the Indians
he observed one who was evidently n
commander of no common order. He
did not know him, but saw it was neces-
sary to dispatch him to secure the vic
tory.
The colonel had already received four
wounds and was greatly weakened by
the loss of blood. His horse, also Sc
verely wounded, was unabk to move
faster than a walk. lie could not APP
proach the chief in a right line, on ac-
count of the trunk of n large tree, and
turning directly toward the chief, ad
vanced upon him. At the distance of n
few yards his horse stumbled, but for
t%unately did not fall. This gave the
Indian the first notice Of his approach,
when he instantly leveled his rifle at the
colonel and gave him another wound,
the severest he had recei we'd in the bat
tie. He did, not, however, fall, but
continued his movement toward the
Indian till he came SO near that the
Indian was raising his tomahawk to
strike him down. The colonel had a pis-
tol in his right hand, charged with n
ball and three buckshot, which he held
against his thigh, so that the Indian had
not discovered it.
AT this moment the colonel raised his
pistol and, discharging its contents into
the breast Of the Indian chief, laid him
dead upon the spot. The Indians near
him, seeing their commander fall, gave
n horrible yell and instantly fled. The
colonel, covered with wounds, twenty
five balls, it was said, having been shot
into him, his clothes, and his horse, was
conveyed from the ground faint and
almost l~ifeless. Although, probably
from political considerations, doubt was
at one time raised as to whether or not
Col. johnson killed Tecumseh there APP
pears TO be no good ground for such
doubt. Both the American and Cana
dian historians agree that the account
here given is substantially correct. Mr..
Coffin says that, after being taken from
tn. field, Col. Johnson was told that he
had killed Tecumseh and that he Col.
Johnson always afterward gave his
story simply and not boastfully, but
others scrambled for credit where a
brave man found cause for pain. There
is every reason to believe that Johnson
did slay Tecunseh. on his body was
found the marks of four buckshot and n
bullet. These wounds had caused his
death. From their direction, they must
have been inflicted from above as from
a man ON horseback. johnson was the
only man on horseback in that part of
the heid.-Ex-Postmaster General Hora-
ito King in Boston Herald.

Those who defended the most innocent
Of the Mobilier statesmen should

Mr.. Blaine for President ought to look
up to Garland as a paragon of pro-
priety. Our standard is little higher

RafIFOad Meeting in bedford.

LIBERTY, VA, Feb. G, 1856.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
A very large meeting Of the citizens
of Liberty was held at the courthouse
here on Tuesday night last to take ac-
ton to further the proposed railroad
scheme, inaugurated by the citizens of
Danville, to construct railroad from
Danville through the county Of Bedford
to terminal point on the Valley road.
Eloquent and earnest speeches were
made by Messrs. Samuel Griffin, Wv.
Jordan, W. W. Berry, James NJ. Mat
thews, and DR.. @. A. Board in advo-
cacy of the proposed road, and resolu-
tions were adopted pledging the town of
Liberty and county Of Bedford to large
subscriptions to the road, A commit
tee was appointed to take the matter in
charge and confer with the leading citi-
xens of Danville and others interested
in this project, and to procure the neces-
sary charters for the road. Captain
W. V. Jordan especially spoke earnestly
and eloquently Of making Pittsburgh
the western terminus of this proposed
road, and pointed to the fact that pro-
minent citizens of the city of Pitts
burgh had for several years been agita.
ting the great question Of the construc-
ton ola railroad from that city through
the rich mining counties of East and
West Virginia, penetrating Highland,
Bath, Rockbridge, and Bedford in Viz
gipia, on to Danyille, and from that
city through Western North Carolina
to Atlanta, Ca, in order to get a south
ern outlet for that great, growing, and
mining centre-the birmingham Of the
United States, and in the near future to
rival the cities Of Philadelphia and
Baltimore in population and Importance.
II the city Of Danville is in earnest in
this railroad move, and will press the
matter without delay, the road will be
constructed without a doubt; and now
is the time for the Pittsburgh people
and Baltimore authorities, if they want
a direct southern connection by this
route, to take hold and press this
scheme to an early completion. Lib
erty and Bedford may be relied upon
to do their full duty in this matter.

rhree rh,ngs Aseu. local op.Ion

To the Editor Of the Dispafeh'
Three thiags about the local-option
question are hard TO be understood.
/. Ii seems strange that temperance
leaders should ask for and secure the
exemption Of the cities. Prominent
temperance workers lobbied the House
Of Delegates for it. Had it not been for
them the cities would not have been ex-
empted.
2. Why did the Richmond ministers
endorse the exemption OF the cities!
Lately the Baptist and Methodist pa
pers published in Richmond, organs OF
the two most powerful denominations
in the State, have urged church mem
bers to watch closely the Legislature
when they came to deal with this ques-
ton of local option. Other church pa
pers may have done the same. Why,
then, should the Richmond ministers
be found sanctioning the action OF the
legislators refusing cities the right even
70 vote on the question? Why should
they place themselves in position to be
used against the local optiOnists who
want the cities to vote when that ques-
ton shall be up in the Senate? Why
should they have taken any action at
all? Indeed, remembering the effects
of the efforts Of the clergy to help us
in the settlement Of the debt question,
we feel like crying "save us from our
friends" and mildly asking orr re-
spected brethren to keep :" hands off"
in this fight; and we may do that with
more propriety now that the two po-
litical parties are, unfortunately, di-
vidiDg on it.
8. II is strange that it is now urged
that the Democratic party is not pledged
to give local option to the cities. Why
was not this point Eade sooner, say
before the election? Everybody knows
it was understood that both parties
promised it. Does it help matters now
to admit that the temperance plank, or
pledge, in our platform was purpOSely
woIded to deceive?
An old-time Democrat, ! am person.

all the same, am in favor Of
FAIR PLAY.

employer and employee alike. The IN :.
specsor is an impartial arbiter OF al
difficulties.
5. This bill which is now offered is
the same with few proper changes)
that passed the House Of Delegates at
the special session Of 1884 and was lost
in the Senate for want Of time.
G. The operation Of the bill will pre-
vent dangers, lessen the probability Of
strikes, and render more certain the
relative rights Of owners and workmen.
