BUSINESS At LOWER BRULE.

Two Councils Held, But No Signatures
Asked for Yet---Indiaus Want to Fully
Understand the Bill.
LOWER BRULE AGENCY, Dak., Sept. 10.
business has begun in earnest at this
agency, all the Indians being present. A
council was held by the Indians near the
agency, and was conducted in an open
and business like manner. No effort was
made at all to keep what was said from
being heard by the whites or Others. A
general talk on the provisions of the
Sioux bill took place between those op-
posed and those favoring it. Chief Iron
Nation made the first speech against the
bill, and three other chiefs, Dead Hand,
Shabber and Squirrel Coat, followed Iron
Nation against ratifying it. A big chief
named Iron Name, very popular Indian
among his people, then arose and made
an appeal in behalf of the measure. Two
young Indians, but lately graduated, then
spoke strongly in favor of the bill, being
followed by Alex Rencounter, who re-
quested the commissioners to again ex-
plain the bill, which was promised. The
Indians wish to have the bill explained
twice more, in order that it can be fully
understood.

The Broadway Promenader's Walk.

Dixey stood on the corner of Thirtieth
street and Broadway the other day, intently
watching man who was walking along on
the opposite side Of the street. He was q
familiar type of the promenader on Broad
way. He held his chest out and his shoul-
ders back by terrific muscular effort, his
chin was forced up in the air bya cruelty
high collar, he turned his toes very far out
and his elbows very far in.
"When that man gets home," said Dixey,
she'll be so thoroughly played out that he
won't have any use for anything on earth.
He'll take of his collar, double up on a
lounge, turn surly, refuse to talk to his wife
and make hog of himself generally, simply
because he has the wrong idea of walking
When l go out on the street for stroll I
wear loose clothes, low collars and easy boots,
and lounge along comfortably. The walk
rests me, whereas it tires little Willie across
the way. A mile stroll in the proper way is
the most refreshing thing in the world. But
when man does himself up in that way it
will reduce him to pulp as sure as shooting. !"

SECRET OF MEMORY.
No Royal Road to Strength Of Men,

No Royal Road to Strength Of Mental
Powcrs-Exercise and Practice.
Superstition knows no bounds. Ever
since men began to be civilized there have
been theorists who have made living-and
some Of thera very handsome living-by
protesting to impart some wonderful secret
which should increase the beauty or prolong
the youth or strengthen the memory of the
credulous disciple. All men and some
women like to be thought young and beauti-
full; and the advantage of being able to say
at any moment when Queen Elizabeth died
and who stabbed Eglon, king of Moab, is
obvious to the meanest capacity. Teachers
of memory will always find occupation, but
those who think Of employing them should
think twice. There were distinguished pro-
fessors of tho art in antiquity, Greeks for the
most part, omniscient and shifty, and ready,
Us Juvenal says, to undertake anything,
from rope dancing to scaling heaven, for
consideration Metrodorus, it is said by
Pliny, could repeat literally anything that
he had once heard. Like astrology and
divination, mnemonics has just that sufficient
air of relation to reality which Is sure to
mislead the unthinking and the uncritical;
and with the revival of learning in the Four
teenth and Fifteenth centuries this fantastic
ence came again into notice. 1t has never
quito lapsed into obscurity since that time.
It is to be hoped that not many readers can
recall, as part Of their personal experience,
the career Of NJ. Gouraud, who created an
excitement in this country forty years ago
with his system of t'phreno-mnemotechny
the idea Of which was On application Of the
Arabic numerals. The syllables, Sc, te, ne,
me, re, le, she, ke, fe, pc, represented the nine
figures and the cipher, and by the combina-
ton Of these syllables the mind was to lay
hold ut once on any fact, or date, or passage,
and reproduce it without error.
Part of the charm in all these systems lies
in the abracadabra, the unintelligibility of
formula which affects the mind Of the
neophyte with its cadence, just as tho old
woman found that it did her good all over to
hear that "sweet word, Mesopotamia." The
formula and the readiness to believe in any
thing that promises to do away with the OBJ
durate law of hard work will account for
much; but how does it happen that no one Of
tho thousands who have wasted substance
and time on these hollow deceits has left
record Of his experienced That experience
has been, by the nature of the case, uniform.
No man has ever yet been found who sue
ceeded in acquiring strength Of memory by
any other process than continual practice
and effort. Those who seem to improve by
following system of mnemonics, improve
only because they then first seriously give
the memory work to do. The law for this is
the same as the law for every power, mental
or physical, as well as for every organ: give
it exercise and practice, and it improves and
gathers strength; neglect 1t, and the organ
or the power dies.-Frank Leslie's

could hardly be called even endemic before
the second week In September, it is not even
yet epidemic. and cooler weather is already
at hand and frost not far away
Nevertheless, the disease has wrought havoc
at two or three points, and terror at dozen
more. It is comparatively mild type Of
the fever, too Thus far the deaths have been
not quite one in seven Of those attacked,
though this proportion will certainly increase
before all the smitten recover. The disease
often presents this peculiar phenomenon,
that having long maintained mild type,
till the air is apparently saturated with the
virus. it suddenly assumes most malignant
form just before its ravages begin to abate
It is at such times that the most woful
sights are witnessed. Men apparently in
good health are stricken without warning,
and die in few hours. In Savannah, in the
autumn Of 1876, instances occurred in which
laborers on tho wharves complained Of thirst
and weariness, took q cool drink, lay down
to rest on a plank or bale Of cotton and never
rose from the spot. In one instance q man
never even moved, and was found to be dead
when called by his comrade. OF course
there is previously infamed condition of
the stomach in such cases.
It Is when the disease reaches this type
that 1t chiefly affects the colored people. In
ordinary epidemics they often escape en-
tirely, and therefore, presuming on their
supposed immunity, suffer frightfully. In

Something About Its Government Building
Now Going Up.

Something About Its Government 8NildtnE
Now Going Up.
Springfield, o., was the first city contain
ing no United States Office but postofice for
which an appropriation was made by congress
for public building. To Gen. ]. Warren
Keifer, ex-speaker Of the house Of representa-
tives, is due the credit for the appropriation.
The first serious effort in this direction was
made by Gen. Keifer in the early part Of the
Forty-eighth congress, when he introduced
bill authorizing the secretary Of the treasury
to erect building in Springfield for the use
of epostof1ce, United States court, revenue
Office, pension Office, ETC., to cost, with the
site, not to exceed 100000. He was then
speaker of the house, and serving his last Of
four consecutive terms in congress.
When March 2, 1885, rolled around, with
but two days of the session remaining,
Springfeld's chances for government build
ing looked remarkably dubious. The bill
was buried on the calendar under thousand
or two other bills Then it was that Gen.
Keifer rose to the situation. On that day
the speaker made deal with Senator Beck,
Of Kentucky, then member Of the house,
who was just as anxious, and just as un-
likely, to secure government building for
Lexington, KY, for which he had introduced
bill The enacting clauses were stricken
out and the two bills were tackled on to the
civil service appropriation bill, and became
a part of the bill as passed by the house.
The bill went to a conference committee;
these two clauses successfully ran the gaunt-
let Of the committee and became part Of
the bill on its final passage.
It was some two years before the secretary
Of the treasury took any steps, under the au-
thority thus given him, to cause building to
be erected in that city. A commission was
appointed, who decided in favor Of site on
the down town end Of East High street, at
its intersection with Spring street, which
was purchased for $4,000. This location is
two squares east of the present postofice and
one square from business street. The base
ment Of the building, which is OF limestone,
was put in during last fall and winter. The
contract for the superstructure was awarded
during tho past summer, and work was be-
gun on the same about two months ago

postponement. This is agreed to, since to
hasten the matter might look like a suspicion
that something might possibly be wrong.
Mr.. Foster goes away, to return in two days
for the examination, but the next day the
chief clerk concludes to do some investigat-
ing on his own account, and, taking some Of
the documents to the registers Office, discov-
ers that there has been forgery perpetrated.
It is quite probable that in the next few
weeks there will be an overhauling Of mort
cages throughout the land that will here and
there strike terror in the breasts Of sundry
keepers Of these precious documents. And
as to investors who have long considered
bond and mortgage the next best and safest
security to government bonds, well may they
ask. "Vhere are we to invest now"

father. l was personally acquainted with
both her and her father, and also with the
author of the song. Knowing these facts,
havo been requested by my friends to give
the public the benefit OF my knowledge,
which have consented to do. Annie Laurie
was born in 1897, and was about II years old
when the incident occurred which gave rise
to the song bearing her name. James Laurie,
Annie's father, was a farmer, who lived on
and owned very large farm called Thragles-
town, in Dumfriesshire Scotland He hired
great deal of help, and among those he en-
ployed was man by the name of Wallace to
act. as foreman, and while in his employ Mr..
Wallace fell in love with Annie Laurie,
which fact her father soon learned, and
forthwith discharged him He went to his
home, which was in Maxwelton, and was
taken sick the very night he reached there.
and the next morning, when Annie Laurie
heard Of it, she came to his bedside and
waited on him until he .lied, and on his death
bed he composed the song entitled "Annie

CONCLUSION.

AS the dawn broke in the east that Thurs.
day morning, Philip Breton stood on the
deck Of the steamer Salvador. The look oT
feverish watchfulness, that had never left his
face for SO long, was gone at ast. The great
fear that had chased smilesAfrom his lips, had
given place to a great hope. A divine calm ,
and peace had come at last upon his soul:
nate had seemed invineible. He had pitted
his beautiful mills and his home and bis
hopes of glory against it, all for the love OF
woman who had no heart for him. lie had
conquered. and he did not begrudge the
price. this royal lover; for he had won the
love Of his bride at last.
Below in her stateroem,. weary with her
unwonted exciten ent, Beptha was sleeping
slncn;ng like child unconscious Of the terri
bic peril and infamy she had escaped by only
SO much as a hairs breadth Tho hurTyine
ship rocked her gently in the great cradle q 3
thcdeen and bore her to lands of undreamed o.
beauty; where the light Of q new eternal low
would be on everything.
