BATON ROUGE RAMBLINGS.
DUsoN, La, Aug. 81, 1890.

Editor Adre,tiser: DEAR S1R--I
was sent by the good people of this
parish to Baton Rouge to represent
them as farmers in the grand State
Union; also, as a delegate to repre-
sent the anti-lottery friends; and us
the proceedings Of both bodies have
been published in the Nev Delta, and
other papers, | will touch on few
points as l saw them. The railroads
gave us written promise for reduced
rates, but did not instruct their agents
to put it in force.
On my arrival in the grand old city
Of Baton Rouge l found everything
much improved since [ last saw it, eX-
cept the capitol. The building is bad
ly ventilated for warm weather, and
has no cisterns; they have to use bad
we'll water. The pavements and gates
are much out Of repair.
Lafayette Parish Farmers sent two
delegates to the grand State Union.
Mr.. L. ". Elliott, my colleague, was
an able representative, being thor
oaghly anti-lottery and jealous in the
Farmers cause. How we'll we did our
work is toll i'll, the fact that the mex.
grand meeting, on the first Tuesday
in August, 1891, viii be held in the
town of Lafayette; and I hope our
people will appreciate this great honor
and extend this BODY Welcome hand
and q warm heart. There will be near
three hundred strangers from every
part OF our State who will want reas-
enable rates in our hotels, and we
should rot let any town excel us i'll
kindness to them. The session will
last FIVE OF six days.
Our anti-Iottery interest was we'll
represented by as fine body of men
as any parish in the State. They
came with noble zeal, and were ready
and did do their duty like Spartans,
and | hope the ADVERTISER Will print
again list of their names in large
type, that we may preserve it and
hand it down to posterity. I found
by di!igent inquiry at our capital
the financial condition of our
State is not as represented by the lot
terry company. We are not paupers,
but TIE taxes of 1890 will pay all our
obligations. In conversation with in
felligent men from all parts of the
State | learned that the public schools
ran eight months last scholastic term,
as they did in this parish; and we
have still money in the treasury.
While | was in the City of New
Orleans, it being very warm [ inquired
for the j. A. Morris $4,000 public
bath house. It was not to be found.
Like many other other of these grand
promises, it will turn outall buncome.
| see the lottery stock is depreciating
on the market; it was up to A for l.
it is now Z for /.
Lafayette Parish, especially the I'd
Ward, never had such a crop as we
now have on hand. Rice has suffer
ed much by the dry weather, but all
expect a fair turnout.
/ see the Governor has made a
good choice in his appointment of Po-
lice Juror for the Sth Ward. Mr..
Landry is an intelligent, industrious
citizen, and I am well pleased. The
Police Jury Of this parish stands
seven farmers, one blacksmith and
farmer. Yours truly,

The Flag Of the 9Th Mass.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: have in my
possession q flag that prize very highly, and
which some Of your readers. especially from
Massachusetts. would be pleased to know Of Its
existence. It is the flag carried by the 9th
Mass. when attacked by mob in the streets OF
Baltimore, Nd, aud where the first blood was
shed in the war.
Four years ago, while travelling in Florida
met the widow Of DIR. George Shattuck, Of
Philadelphia, who, seeing that prized tho flag
so highly, gave it to me. DIR. Shattuck was
Captain Of the 9th Mass, and died four years
ago last Fall at Wilcox. Orange County, Fla.

holes through its silken folds is in an excellent
state Of preservation.-WILL NJ. DoHERTY, Lit

MOUNTAIN MEADOW
Was this Man One Of the Survivors or that Awful
Affair!


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your paper
OF Jan. 16 there is an article by Capt J. A.
Delano, of the 5lst Ind, in which he gives an
account of the Mountain Meadow massacre.
was very much interested in reading that ac-
count, not only because it viyidly detailed one
of the most appalling crimes ever committed in
this country, but also because Of an experience
which had several years ago with man who
protessed to be survivor of that awful tragedy.
One morning, about six or seven years ago,
entered the hardware store of man who, at
the time. was one Of MY parishiOners in PIym-
outh, Wis, when he came quickly toward me
and said that he would like me to see aud talk
with q man who was Mt the time in the rear of
the store examining Winchester rifles. Accom-
pauying him to the place indicated, met man
of slight stature, dark brown, shaggy hair and
whiskers, and who, in my judgment, was not
more than 30 years of age. In reply to our
questions Of who he was and where he had
come from, he told substantially the following
story:
He said he was one Of the survivors Of the
Mountain Meadow massacre; that he was
very young child at the time, in fact, so young
that he had no recollection of the affair; that
during the butchcTy he was seized By a squaw,
who carried him away and brought him up in
her wigwam; that when he was about 10 or Is
years of age this squaw, whom he had been
taught was his mother. was taken sick and
died but before she passed away she called
him to her side and told him plainly that he
was not an Indian. but white boy, ut the same
time telling him when and how she had OBJ.
tained him. During this interview she gave
him small plain gold ring, which she said
she had taken from the finger of his dead
mother, and which he wore on one Of his fin
gers at that time, and showed to US.
In reply to my question of how he happened
to be In Wisconsin, he said that a few years be-
fore he was impressed with great desire to
see and mingle with white people, so he left his
tribe and came east for that purpose: but he
added that be liked the Indian life best and
thought he should soon return 10 his old life
and friends again.
This young man was not at all prepossessing
In his personal appearance, and during our
conversation he talked not only very fast
but also very broken English Indeed it was
very difficult to understand what he did saw.
and it was only by making him repeat his SEN
tences over and over again that we were en-
abied to catch their meaning.
He however. made the impression on nv
friend and myself that he was not only honest
In his statements-that is that he believed
them 10 be true himself-but that he had been
brought up by and lived among the Indians
during the greater part Of his life; but whether
he Was truly one OF the survivors of the Mount
ain Meadow massacre is perhaps one Of the uu-
merous mysteries which will never be solved
at least in this wOrld.-G. RINDELL, Pastor
