Democrat; he was tbs friend and intimate
of Hon. Samuel ]. Tilden, Senator Bay
ard. Congressman Randall and other lead
ing lights Of Democracy. A few years
ago he printed for private circulation a
collection Of his letters on the subject OF

soIal friends from forming an ~unfavorable
opinion of his political conduct and
opinions during the great rebellion. He
opposed the secessionists Just as much as
he opposed President Lincoln and the
extreme abolitionIsts Of the North. Com
mon sense and a profound enthusiasm for
the land of his adoption were the motives
which animated him. In appearance
Mr.. Belmont was rather under the ordinary
height. He weighed about l60 pounds,
was dark complexioned and slightly bald;
had dark eyes and iron grey side whiskers.
He was the New York representative of
the great Rothschilds' banking house.

Gen. Miles has received a letter from
an officer at Los Angeles which throws

who talked last spring with the officer.
He said his name was johnson and he
was known by the Indians and whites
where he lived as ''Peacemaker." He
showed a medal which had been given
him by some Christian society for his
efforts in doing good. He talked about
the bible and said he was DESTROYS of max
ing peace with everyone. He told about
the Indians coming from far off to see
him and showed a pipe. which was recog-
nized as from the Dakota tribes. All
this comedies with Porcupine's story.
The officer writes that he firmly believes
this good natured Indian is the one who
caused all the trouble. He taught the
Indians the story of Christ and the time
when he would once more visit the earth.
as taught him by Christian people. He
no doubt told the story in a true under

1 have just learned of a novel device
by which n person a kill a lot of time
at very small expense. 1t is the inven-
ton of a Pittsburger of Jewish birth
and economical instincts In some
way he discovered that at both ends of
the elevated railways a passenger can
alight and make the return passage
without paying another fare. He starts
at any station, pays his fare and rides
to the next. Here he gets out, surveys
the surrounding scenery, and after this
is exhausted boards another train. This
process is repeated at each succeeding
station until he reaches one terminus
or the OTHER. Then he starts back and
repeats the programme at all stations
until he reaches the opposite terminus,
thence back in the same way to his
starting place. His total outlay has
been five cents, and the process can
be duplicated on the other lines at no
greater cost.-Racket.
