A communication to The Independent, of
Santa Barbara, Cal, by young man named
Snow, gives very interesting incident in
the early life of Glen Reynolds, the sheriff of
ella county, who was killed by the Apache
prisoners while conveying them to Yuma.
Snow says:
81 saw him introduced to Gen. Sheridan at
the fort as the youngest Indian slayer on rec
ord, from an event which had happened some
ten years before. The account was that his
father well known in Texas as "Rawhide
Reynolds" was away with the elder boys,
and Mrs. Reynolds with the three youngest
children were at home, when a small war
party of Comanches rode up, and, being UNI
able to pass the stockade, with which the
house and corral were surrounded, nor to
break the ponderous lock on the gate, began
to fire on the house when the demand for ad.
mittance had been refused.
1t was question of but a few minutes
when they would force an entrance through
the fence, for they were piling up fuel to burn
the stockade, so his mother directed Glen t,
take a gun, her own eyes being weak, and
shoot the one who appeared to be the leader.
Glen, who was in his tenth year, and a slim
boy at that-he did not weigh over 100 pounds
when grown-took the gun as directed. He
was trained to the use of firearms, and with
a rest for the gun was good shot. The wea
pom was a jennings repeating rifle, which
was the original form of the Henry rifle, later
superseded by the Winchester At the first
shot he killed his Indian, and Immediately
after wounded another which terrified the
remainder into a hasty retreat leaving then
dead comrade on the ground; and in accord
ance with the ethics of the border the youth
full defender of the fort went out to the good
Indian and fetched away the trophy of vic
tory.

Selecting "a Hat.

There is one thing the women do that the
men have not learned to do yet-they let
their husbands pick out their own hats. If a
man selects Derby, a silk hat, hat high,
low, black or brown, his wife has nothing to
say to it. She may say that as very becom-
ing or that it matches his new suit, but she
will never make him take it back, nor tell
him What she is ashamed to be seen in public
with man wearing such a looking thing as
that. But let her select "A hat for herself
that does not please him, and she will either
have to take it back or stay at home for the

A Find of Flint,

Year by year fresh traces Of the earth's
early inhabitants are being revealed. One
of the most important OF recent discoveries
is that of NJ Armand Wire, who, in valley
through which runs the Lunain river, has
come across the remains of at least ten pre-
historic settlements. The immense quantity
of flint implements and refuse at one place,
near the village of Lorrez-le-Bocage, some
sixty miles south of Paris, seems to justify
the conclusion that there must have been
located prehistoric manufacturing village,
The flint worked into various shapes
used by the primitive people Of the early
stone age. Some of the implements are OF
types hitherto unknown to science, including
very small stone hatchets, which are sup
posed to have been funeral or votive offer
ings, and flint hooks, from one to three
inches long, the smaller probably having
been designed as fish hooks--New York

Pittsburg is enjoying boom in real estate
just now, and the competition for choice lots
runs high
Mr.. Bilgus owned a lot on the corner of
Fifth avenue and Madison week or two ago,
but he does not own it now. This is how he
happened to part with it,
Two men walked into his Office one after
noon and one of them said
"Mr. Bigus / beleve"

81 understand you " ant to sell that lot on
the corner of Fifth ard Madison. What will
YOU take for itf
Il don't know that am anxious to sell
that lot" said Bilgus; "still might, if
could get what it is worth"
"Well what is your price"
THAT property is worth every cent of $780,
600, and | don't know but what / ought to
ask $4,000. Do you want to buyw
"Oh, no." replied Bilgus' visitor taking a
memorandum book out of his pocket and put
ing down some figures. my name is Ger
rish I'm the new assessor for that district,
and | merely wanted to get at the value of
your property
Bilgus smiled a sckly sort of smile.

600 for the lot if had to sell it, and the man
who would offer me $40, 900 would be snap

The assessor smiled just little, but went
on making memoranda.
Say" exclaimed Bilgus, jumping up,
don't put that lot down at more than $751;
600. I'll take that for it, 'pop my honor, l
will"
Very WELL" said the assessor, "fll take it
for that Here's certified check for $500 to
bind the bargain"
Bigus was speechless now.
81 thought you were the assessor" he
gasped presently.

Bigus kicked like a dozen mules, but it was
no CO. Mr.. Gerrish had his witness to prove
that Bllgus had offered the lot for $4,000,
and rather than defend against threatened
lawsuit the unhappy man made out the deed.
The real estate was worth $4,000 easily:
but | am sorry to say that Mr.. Gerrish told
an untruth when he said he was the new as.

The administration of the war department
FOR 1S53-51, by jefferson Davis, was brill.
liant and successful, but married by one
quarrel and marked by a tragedy OF
which the details seem more fitted for the
pages of criminal romance than of history.
The quarrel was about the staff organization,
always something of a fad with Mr. Davis.
The United States system was then, and sub
stantially is now that of the French. 1t had
worked remarkably well in the Mexican war,
and its superiority over the then British sys-
TEN had just been emphatically demonstrated
in the Crimea Yet Secretary Davis vehe-
mently urged complete change to a system
somewhat like that of the British; but con-
gress refused to consent. In this, as in his
appointments while Confederate president,
his critics find proof of what they call the
chief weakness in his character-unreason-
able attachments and persistent prejudices.
The staff officers of the old army had given
offense; he therefore concluded that the sys-
TEN was wrong.
The tragedy was that of Dr. Gardiner, a
dentist who had lived in Mexico, who fabri-
Gated claim for 'confiscatcd mine" and
forged his papers so skillfully that he secured
Si50,00O of the fund appropriated To indem-
Nifty American citizens for losses caused by the
war. When Secretary Davis came into Office
he happened TO glance over the old papers,
By the merest accident he had been on the ex-
act spot where Gardiner had located his tic-
titious mine, and from his knowledge of the
local geology the secretary knew that the de-
scription was false. The whole swindle was
revealed Gardiner was arrested, convicted
and sentenced to long Imprisonment, but
took poison on returning to his cell and died
IN few minutes. 1t was one of the sensa'

Maidens, knit your skirts, and go
Down the stormy garden ways;
Pluck the last sweet pinks that blow,
Gather roses, gather bays,
Since our Celia comes today,
That has been SO long away
Crowd her chamber with your sweets
Not flower but grows for her
Make her bed with linen sheets
That have lain in lavender;
Light fire before she come
Lest she find us chill at home.
All, what joy when Celia stands
BY the leaping blaze at last,
STOPPING down TO warm her hands
All benumbed with the blast.
While we hide her cloak away
TO assure us she shall stay
Cider bring, and cowslip wine,
Fruit and flavors from the east.
Pears and pippins, too, and fine
Saffron loaves to make a feast;
China dishes, silver cups,
For the board where Celia sups
Then, when all the Hastings done,
She shall draw us round the blaze,
Laugh and tell us every one
OF her fair triumphant days
Celia, out of doors a star,
BY the hearth, holier Lar!

Sentimental Botanists.

1t is popular notion that men of science
are interested only in facts and that they
look even at these facts with only intellectual
interest, and never with sentiment The
idea is contradicted by two facts The i'm
agination plays prominent part in scientific
discovery, and the most plodding student of
science is not unfrequently more than most
other men under the sway of sentimental
emotions aroused by his devotion to one
branch of knowledge.
LinnRus, the great botanist, whose life was
passed in the study of details, was SO intense
ly in love with plants that they excited in
him feelings akin to worship. The first time
he saw the gorse in bloom on Putney heath
in England, he fell on his knees and thanked
God for having created so beautiful a flower
Jusseu, famous French botanst. showed
devotion to a Seeding such as could not
have been surpassed had the plant been his
only son. He was bringing a Seeding of the
Lebanon cedar from Syria to Marseilles The
ship ran short of water, and the passengers
and crew were limited to half glass Of
water. Jussieu shared his scant supply Of
water with his Seeding. His self denial and
devotion enabled the plant to reach Paris in
safety, where it lived to be hundred years
old and eighty feet high.
The name Jussieu is that of family of
French botanists, who for a hundred and fifty
years have been famous. The brother of the
one whose devotion saved the Seeding from
Lebanon was superintendent of the gardens at
the Petit-Trianon. He arranged the plants in
accordance with a natural system, the princi-
pies of which he refused to make public. His
refusal was due to his disinterestedness. Lau-
rent, his nephew was his pupil, and to him
alone the uncle gave the key of his system
that in due time, when it should be perfected,
he might reap the glory of establishing it.

THE HUMBLE PIN.
How 1t Has Been Noticed in Law and Lit
erature-some Old Time superstitions.

erature-SOme Old Time Superstitions.
Greek and Roman ladies fastened their
tresses with metal pins, and the ancient
Britons used those made If ivory. They
were comparatively rare, ard regarded as a
luxury. Garments were fastened with strings,
laces, skewers, even with thorns.
When the pin of commerce was finally in
troduced, though comparatively clumsy
affair at first it met with universal favor,
and soon found its important niche For law
and literature have both noticed this useful
trihe. Hamlet set his "life at a pins fee,"
and the afflicted queen of England compared
her "wretchedness to a row of pins" Dear
mel what signifies pin!' were the naughty
words of the heroine of poem of Jane lay
lor's, dear to a generation now past. But
she soon saw the value of the sighted object,
when, at the hour appointed for the pleasure
party:
The carriage ratified to the door,
Then ratified fast away:
But poor Eliza was not in,
For want of just single pin
Who has not read of the young man who
attracted the attention of his future patron
by STOPPING to pick up a pin! And of the
prisoner who saved himself from madness by
daily casting three or four from him in the
darkness of his cell, and then painfully
searching until he found them againl When
after six years. imprisonment the news of
his freedom was brought him. he was on the
ground hunting for one pin which had been
for two days missing. The four pins, bent
and corroded were set in brooch and worn
by his wife, to whom they were more precious
than gems. Superstition has not 10. gotten
the pin. Like other pointed articles it is 'to
be lent, not given" and we are told in
strains embodying equal measure of truth
and poetry:
See n pin and pick it up,
All the day you'll have good luck
In the reign of Henry VIII law was
passed enacting that pins should not he more
than six shillings and sxpence per thousand
Pins were then very acceptable present;
''instead of the gifts, a composition was some
times received in money" This was called,
of course pin money, term which has been
extended to sum of money secured by a
husband on his marriage for the private ex-
penses of his wife" Addison has recorded
his dislike of what he calls ''the doctrine of
pin money" proposing 'needle money" as
being a more thrifty name. "-Yo Dung Ladies'
