A lady who some time ago became
much interested in the statement, con-
tradicted at the time, that Gen. Sib-
ley's first wife was a woman of the
Chippewa Nation, speaks In the pleas
ATTEST terms of her recollections of the
early days when many rlen who have
since become prominent in the States
history had homes presided over by
wives in whose veins the Indian blood
was uncrossed.
"They were pleasant and hospita-
bic class of women" she says, rather
taciturn sometimes, but women never
theless, and good ones, too. Living
always in the drudgery from which no
Indian female ever escapes in the soci-
ETY. OF the savage bucks no wonder
that squaws were only squaws at any
period of development, but when
placed among the more refining intiu-
ences of white homes and white hus-
bands these Indian women made won
derful progress, and made loving wives
and mothers and kind neighbors. You
must remember, too, that the men
who married Indian women in those
days up here were men in every sense
of the word, not brutes aud renegades
like the 'squaw men, of whom you read
in the West to-day. "-Minaea2 polls

On the repeal Of the Missouri Com.
promise, and went back to the Senate as
an anti Nebraska Democrat. In the Leg
isature he was one of the five who voted
for LYMAN Trumbull and ultimately forced
the Wing members to take him up and
elect him. Palmer presided over the Re-
publican State Convention at Bloomington
in 1855, and henceforth took an active part
in promulgating the principles OF the party.
He was beaten for Congress In 1859, was
Republican elector in 1860, and the next
year was one Of the five Illinois delee ates
to the Peace Congress at Washington.
When the war brcke cat Palmer entered
the service as Colonel OF ,he Fourteenth
General of volunteers, ending his army
career in charge of the military admins
tration of Kentucky in 1866. He had
several quarrels with Gen. Sherman. Gen.
Palmer was an unsuccessful candidate for
the Republican nomination for Senator in
1867, but the following year was made the
choice of the party for Governor. 1t was
his lot to call a special session of the Leg
islature after the great Chicago fire. Later
his protest was made against the military
occupation of the city under General Sher-
idan. 1t was under Gov. Palmer's admin
istration that the new Constitution Of 1870
was adopted. In 1872 Palmer strayed off
into the Liberal fold as a supporter of
Horace Greeley, and soon was in full fell
lowship with the Democratic party, where
he has ever since remained. His latest
appearance in public affairs was as dele
gate large TO the Democratic National
Convention, where he was an ardent sup
porter of Mcdonald of Indiana. April 4
last the General was married to Mrs. Il.
l.. Kimball.

called q fine gentleman, but he can be

adroit mode of avoiding to humilate
Lee at the time of surrender by taking
the sword that had been presented to
him, instead of which no overcame an
awkward situation by saying all officers
were to keep their side arms. @Scott,

1t is said that the selection of Rev. DIR. Lyman
Abbott as permanent pastor has precipitatcd
matters. Mr.. Halliday has been very en-
phatic in his opposition to DIR. Abbott. 1t is
also said that the relations between Mr.. Hal
liday and the Advisory Committee since Mr..
Beecher's death have been far from pleasant.
and that Mr.. Halliday would have retired
several months ago had he not feared that
such a step would cause trouble in the
church..
