A Reformed Indian.

A recent issue of the Pennington
Register of Oregon contains letter
from Andrew Saltise, the head of the
Ceur d'Alene Indians, asking the sa-
loon mon not to sell his people liquor.
He says if any of them are found drunk
in town he would like to have the city
marshals arrest them and send word
to him, and he will go and get them
and put them in his Jail. He also talks
to the county clerk about estrays, and
says his people lose many horses. He
closes by saying: Il want to be at
peace with all the whites, and would
like to have the whites use my people
as they use one another" 1t is but a
few years since Saltise rode at the head
of the Coeur d'Alene warriors, and was
a savage chief bent on destroying the
whites. Now he rides around the
country taking a fatherly interest in
his tribe, and keeping them straight.
He is thrifty and well-to-do, and rides
into town in a comfortable carriage
behind good pair of horses.

Whether Joo ,susnected the opinions. ,ex.

Whether Zoo suspected the opinions, lex-
pressed and unexpressed, Of his various
nelghbors, certain it was that he took much
comfort in little Anna, and certain 1t Is, too,
that the child dearly loved Joe, or Dad, as
she called him. With Burdett nothing was
too good for the child, not even his locomo.
motive. On fine days no frequently took
the little girl into his cab, showing her
every detail OF the workings of his Iron
steed and explaining the eV1,v and the qchcrc-
fore OF each part just as though she had been
his apprentice. Indeed, Burdett insisted
that she scas, and to his chief he declared
(when Anna was not ten years old) that
his ''little 'un" knew more about Il loco
motive than half the tiremen on the Chi
cago & Overland, and as much as some OF
the engineers!
Nine years had passed since Joo's mem.
orable visit to the Chicago police court, and
"Burdett's grip was fast passing from
girlhood to Womanhood, but she was still
the engineers baby and Joe was still Dad to
her.
There was strike in progress on the
Chicago Il Overland, though it did not di
rectly involve the engineers. Among other
classes OF the employees there existed much
bitterness Of feeling toward the company
and excitement ran high in Steamville
Joe Burdette, who honestly believed the
strikers, in this particular instance, to be
in the wrong, showed them scant sympathy

OF all the historical garme

OF all the historical garments
which crowd the great museums of the
world none are moro famous than the
'gray overcoat'' and ''chapeau" OF
Napoleon I, celebrated in Beranger's
and Raffet's poems, and painted by
scores of aspiring French artists. At
a recent search through the archives
of the time of the great conqueror the
tailor's and the hatter's account for
some of these articles of clothing has
been found, and it appears that for
each of his "chapeaux castor" he paid
sixty francs, while his 'redingotes
grises'' cost him 100 francs apiece.
The overcoats we're always made very
wide, for, contrary to the custom OF
the officers of that period, Napoleon
never took off his epaulets.

" YOUR HONOR" SAID JOE.

tiny wanderer was faxen- haired girl with
hat or shoes and with but one ragged and
soiled garment about the little body; 80
dirty and so neglected-yet wondrously
fair and beautiful!
The child was, perhaps, seven years old,
or less, and she said that her name was
Anna-that was all she knew. But Joe
Burdett knew more; he knew, beyond a
peradventure, that she was the child of his
old love, the child Of Dick Pender's dead
wife.
|'Your honor" said Joe, hat IN hand, ad-
dressing the court.
''What is it2'' asked his honor, who, be-
sides beng judge of fine points of GRIM
inal law, was an expert judge of human ma
ture and rightly passed verdict of honest
and square upon Joe Burdette.
II should like to adopt that child, if possi-
ble," replied the engineer; and half an hour
later, Burdette's references proving highly
satisfactory to the court, he walked out of
the police station leading by the hand Anna
Redman's little girl.
The division headquarters of that portion
of the The Chicago e. Overland road, over
which Joe Burdette steered his locomotive
were at Steamville, a small but busy rail-
way town, and thither the engineer took his
young ward.
Everybody said that Joe Burdette was
crazy; but some how nobody ventured to
audibly express his opinions on that matter
to Joe himself. "The boys'' and the neigh
bors thought good deal and compared notes
among themselves; while the womenfolk
were agreed that Joe was making a fool of
himself over a little stray-away young'un
who might be - well, the Lord only knew
suho or satat she might be!

ROSSiNi'S LITTLE JOKE.
It Relieved a Friend at the Expense OF
Music Publisher.

1t Relieved q Friend at the Expense of q
Music Publisher.
NJ. Brandus, head of the Paris music
house, recalls a joke perpetrated on
his firm in 1886. A musician named
Caraf;, who WAS always "broke," went
to borrow money from Rossini, who
was frequently in the same plight.
The composer said: "l'm sorry can't
lend you any money, but I'll write
some music for you, and if you will
take it to Brandus he'll give you some
money for it," Carafa gladly accepted
the proposition, and in II wonderfully
short time Rossini had filled several
pages with notes. The piece he enti-
tied "Sweet Memories Q: 'L'Africaine,'
by Rossini." Carafa hurried to
the Rue Ri,helieu to lay it be-
fore Brandus, who, on seeing
the manuscript, was surprised, for
Rossini and Meyerbeer composer of
"L'Africaine," were bitter enemies.
The publishers joy over receiving an
improvisation on "L'Africaiuo" from
such a source was great, for the COM
position would be sure of having a
large sale, and he gladly paid the i'm
p>cunious Carafa the sum of 1000
francs. Soon after Carafa had left
with the money and the publishers ex-
oitement over the purchase had cooled,
it occurred to him to try the music.
Fl } found it a series of vilely discord-
It combinations. a certain amount of
tiendish ingenuity having been exe'ted
in producing the hideous ensemble.
These were Rossini's ''swcet reminis-
cences'' OF his enemy, Meyerbeer s,
"L'Africaine." Brandus never sought
to recover the 1000 francs. He pse-
ferred to lose them rather than have
Rossini's joke get abroad. brooklyn

largest beech tree in Georgia. 1t is
situated on w. j. Van Wrinkles place,
four miles below Madison, on the right
side of the Georgia railroad, and is
plainly visible from the train, but at

from the fact that, owing to the i'm

that it is an entire grove. So large, in
fact, is the tree, that it's dimensions
sound almost incredable. 1t is twen'

Why He Loft st. Louis.


The reasons which actuated General
Sherman In leaving st. Louis have never
been given to the public. He always said
during his life in Washington that he
longed for the time when he could return to
st. Louis and quietly end his days there.
True when he was retired from the army
he did take up his residence in the city Of
his love, but he did not remain there. The
old man had trouble with the girls in that
bustling Southern town. There seemed TO
be conspiracy on their part to make him
happy; but it was boomerangic in its effect.
They determined that he should have the
opportunity of kissing every girl in st.
Louis under thirty years of age. The hero
stood up to his task bravely daily, man.

toothless grandmothers joined in the CON-

The Baltimore Sun has large staff of
correspondence in Virginia. Its Rich
mond correspondent has been long con-
nected with the press of that city, and is
widely known throughout the State. No
matter of Importance occurring in Vir-

OF the State are as intelligentlY discussed
in the editorial columns of the Baltimore

own home affairs. The soundness Of the
views expressed in this way are not with

the experience of our people that when a

What County Man Says of an Iror
Furnace.

Editor Viadicator:
We were truly glad to see your editorial in
last weeks paper about letting the capital of
Staunton and the county slip away, as it is
doing, to other places. Comments are unnec-
essary, for while the moneyed men of your
place see more in buying up paper on some
poor fellow who is in dire need, at great
shave, rather than invest in manufacturing
plant that would return q small but sure
dividend and an increasing one if properly
managed, your young men and your
capital are bound to slip away-for there is no
employment for their willing and strong
hands. Your business is bound to diminish
for the consumers will be gone. A land and
improvement company would be a good thing,
but before you do this you must establish
some sort of a factory to bring the buyers of
your land. Would not an iron and steel fur
mace be profitable? Your citizens control
mines of both coal and iron that would run a
furnace for years. Mr. Erskine Miller has the
coal and Messrs. Echols, Bell aid Catlett have
iron ore Mines SO that you have in your city
the very parties that have the material in a
great measure to supply furnace. And
these materials lay in this county, or in easy
reach Of it along the railroads. Now what
would be the result of furnace plant !?
OuPpOSG IL oOO udnuS TO 90 all the
work necessary about it, at least 500 of them
would have families of an average of five in
number, which would require at least 500 ten
ements SO that a land company could easily
find sale for their houses, DC. Now the pay
roll would be at 81 per day of 800 hands in
one month of 26 working days, over 500, 600
per month, which would be distributed among
your citizens of all classes. Besides this, all
property would increase in value, other plants
would spring up, and capital would flow in,
instead of being dead city, as Staunton must
inevitably become if her young men are driv-
en- away as they now are for want of employ
ment. I would like to say more on this sub
ject for we people of the county feel deep
interest in the welfare of our county, and
here we daily see ore passing to Roanoke,
Baltimore and Lynchburg. which could be
as easily manufactured in our own county
and much cheaper, for the railroad freight
would be saved in greater part and home
market would be established for our surplus
products and many other advantages would
come to u.s. If your city does not want a
furnace, send your capitalists up here and
we will find a location. Let somebody start
the move, for one man and one only is neces-
sary to make the start, and a start Is great
step towards success Excuse the length of
this letter, but am very greatly interested
in this subject and hope you may find some
of thig worth publishing.
