WALLACE'S GREAT BRAVERY.
How thu Dead Indian Fighter Saved One
of his Men.
From the New York Herald. !

From the New York Herald.
ST.. PAUL, MINI, December 3d.
The death of Capt. Wallace was re-
ceived at army headquarters with pro-
found regret, for he was well known
here, has hosts of friends and was noted
as one of the most popular men in the
service. He was a gallant officer and
a thorough gentleman. He entered
West Point in 1868, graduating with
honors in 1872, and was Only about 40
years of age.
There were ties in later years which
bound him firmly to st. Paul and the
Northwest, for eight years ago he was
married to Carrie NJ. Otis, daughter of
the late George L. Otis. Capt. Wallace
displayed his matchless heroism to
splendid advantage at the battle of the
Little Big Horn.
During the engagement one Of his
men was shot and fell from the saddle.
In piteous accents he besought his COM
mander to kill him, but the officer, for
getting everything save the peril of one
of his men, sprang from his horse at
the risk of his life, ald throwing the
wounded man across the pummel Of
his saddle, rescued him.

Gary as a Presiding Officer.
Abbeville Medium.


"The Senate has certainly dispatched
the business before it this session in 4
most commendable manner. Three
great factors are to be lauded for this
result: First, the facility and intelli-
gence of technique with which Presi-
dent Eugene B. Gary has discharged
his duties; second, the intelligence and
experience Of the more prominent
members of the Senate, and third, the
undoubtcd rapidity and ease with
which Reading Clerk Caughman gets
over the ground. He is lirst-class
man for the place.
"There is nc Disgusting the fact either
that Lieutenant Governor Gary has
impressed the Senate farorably. Mr..
Gary is now perfectly at home in the
chair of the Senate, and has filled his
position impartially on al measures
and in all debates. Personally he is
very highly esteemed, and will be an
all-round success
The above extract is from the Column
ba letter Of the correspondent Of the
News ana Courier. His estimate of
Lieutenant Governor Gary does not
vary from that Of others who are quail
flied 10 speak on such matters.
Senator MeetZe says that III his long
legislative experience he has never seen
business transacted with greater dis
patch and accuracy than during the
recent session Of the Senate. He re-
CARDS Lieutenant Governor Gary as a
capital presiding officer.
Senator Buist says he never saw bust
ness carried Oil with less friction: that
Lieutenant-Gov. Gary was quick and
correct in his rulings and just and i'm
partial in his decisions. Senator Buist
regards him as the equal Of his distin-
guished predecessors.
All the senators with whom we con-
versed on the subject concur III this
estimate
He was always on time to the min
ute to call the Senate to order and re-
mained to the last at eacn session.

GIANT TREES IN CALIFORNIA.
Forty-four Found that Are Over Eighty
Feet in circumference.
New York SUM-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Andrew
Cauldwell, the special agent of the
General Land office, appointed to make
an investigation as to the location, con-
dition, number, &c, Of giant (.Scquoid
| gigmteaj trees in the Stockton and
Eisalia land districts in California, has
made his report to the Commissioner of
the General Land Office. These trees,
the special agent says, grow in detach-
ed clusters on the top or sides of the
Sierra Nevada Mountain range in the
districts named, and always at an ele-
vation of from 5000 to 1000 feet. Ac-
cess TO them is, as rule, very difficult,
on account of the extreme roughness of
! the mountain passes and caEons. The
Mariposa grove, in the Stockton land
district, is the largest in that vicinity.
1t contains about 33C trees 0: all sizes,
and seems to be properly guarded from
forest fires by the stage company,
which as the monopoly of carrying
tourists through that part to the Yose-
mite valley. The Tuolumne and
Merced groves contain eighteen and
forty trees respectively. These groves
are in danger OF mountain fires careless
ly set by sheep herders. The Fresno
grove at one time contained between
$50 and 400 trees.
Some years ago ;he MADEIRA Flume
and Trading Company, the report says,
erected a sawmili, into whose nav the
giant sequoias are rapidly disappearing,
and now only about 100 remain. They
stand on the patented land, and are
under the control of the Madea compa-
ny. The largest trees, however, have
been spared, because they cannot be
protitably handled.
In the Nisalia district there is one
small and one large grove of giant
trees. The latter is virgin forest, and
contains over l POO giant sequoias and
many more small trees. Some five
years ago cooperative colony located
about forty entries iG this reighbor-
hood, and is constructing 4 road to this
timber belt. The colony, it is asserted,
numbers about 600 members, and has
recently engrafted the Bellamy idea as
its leading attraction. There is danger,
the special agent believes that these
people if unmolestcd, will soon destroy

FAD OF BOSTOS'S DCSKY BELLIES
They are Learning How to Take the Kink
ont of Their Hair.
Boston Globe.

The colored women of this city have
learned that it is possible to take the
klpk out OF their hair, and there is quite
8 sensation over the discovery. Tie
rush to have crisp locks Strengthened is
becoming general, although bat few of
those who have successfully been
smoothed ort are willing to admit that
their hair was ever otherwise than
straight and glossy. The fad as yet
has not reached the male sex, aud at
the Sunday evening meeting of the a.
N. E. church one of the deacons warn
ed the sisters against their sinful pride
in attempting to improve on the Lords
handiwork. He was followed by an
aged sister, who said:
"If God had intended US to have
straight hair He would have given it
TO US in the beginning. God never in
tended it, and I, for one, shall be con-
tented with what I've got. It's sin
before the Lord and a vanity to have
your hair straightened."
The idea was introduced bya Young
colored woman from Virginia. She
herself has glossy bang and back hair
as straight as that of the late Sitting
Bull. She says her own hair was for
merly crisp and kinky, but that an old
Canadian woman :old her how to make
it straight, and this information she is
now imparting for consideration. The
customer is told first to wash her hair
| and come with it we'll dried. She does
so, and then the operation begins. A
preparation that is amber-coiored and
of the consistency Of cream is taken
from a large jar and rubbed thoroughly
into the hair, and where it was entirely
lustreless before it begins to assume a
gloss.
This is rubbed so thoroughly into the
scalp that none of the hairs can fail to
have received a portion. Then vlgo-
rous brushing is restored to, and the
short hair begins to lengthen. If it
were an inch long before, it is full two
inches long, and if before it had been
done up in what old fashioned South
ern people term "plaits," it is now
ready to be rolled into a loose coil at
the back. The operation lakes about
four hours and is permanent in its
effects. 1t gives the colored woman a
very Indian like appearance, and the
few who will admit having been treat
ed claim they did it merely to make the
LABOR OF neutrality-suspicious.
the easier. One of them said: "One
thing know, and that is that it is ter
ribly convenient to have straight hair.
7 never before realized what blessing
it was. Before, dreaded the task of
conbing it, and now I don't mind 1t at
ALL" Hair Strengthening promises to
be the fad for the winter among the
colored women Of Boston.

The Outcome of Organization.
From the Monache Tidirgs. !

From the Monache Tidings.l
The organizations Of the Knights of
Labor and its kindred societies, have
been feared more by capitalists on ac-
count of the Intelligence they bring to
the laboring element, than for the
organization aud formidable members.
The Knights, the Farmers Alliance,
and other organizations may become
disorganized and disbandc1, but the
enlightenment they have evolved will
reorganize on still more progressive
platforms, more firmly uniting all
trades and all people on more econo-
mic basis of equity, until all govern
ments as now organized will be aban-
doned. Once justice is done between
men, people will be born less and less
inclined to rob others for livelihood.
Most of our unconscionable legal thieves
and brutal murderers are hereditary
criminals against others rights. The
intelligence Of the age is more rapidly
progressive than the laboring element
of the country is aware of.

Immediately my driver got into a
dispute with the driver of the hearse
over the right Of way. I told my driver
to keep straight on the trail, and not
cut through the funeral, showing my
deep religious inclination, and he said
he wouldn't. He said he'd beat the
hearse if it took year. Well, we rat
tied on. The race was growing inter-
esting and exciting. Ny driver, feared,
was getting the worst Of it. Presently,
however, they stopped to argue the
matter, and I heard my man saE TO
