A Charter Applied For-The Excur-

There was a we'll attended meet

1t has been decided to hold a grand

24th, at Leon Springs, as one of the
means Of raising funds for the carry

"This picnic" said President

What the People are Saying.
Our city council has evidently be-
come an attractive political arena II
we are to judge by the number OF
worthy citizens who are willing TO
surrender the quiet walk of unofficial
life, for seat in that body.
One alderman more or less will have
but little influence upon the charac-
ter of that body; it will continue to
the end to be the mouthpiece of the
mayor.
An idea prevailed pending the may
oraIty contest that the office of mayor
was one of overwhelming duty and
labor; yet our mayor is given an in
definite leave of absence, while AL
derman Schreiner performs the du-
ties of mayor and recorder with ease,
with no perceptible loss of flesh.
If Mayor Callaghsn can straighten
out the financial affairs of the city,
complete the new city hall, open
crooked streets, and finish up the
wood block pavement bargained for,
he will be able to fall back upon the
old routine of street repairing, and
municipal mud hole and brush cut
ting legislation, peculiarly adapted 10
the caliber of our present city council.
With such a prospect before him,
well might the Napoleon of local
democratic politics long for retire,

of our city administration undergoes

ti0n. All our city management here
tofore has been in the interest of
few men, who are piling up wealth at
the expense OF the people.
We can expect nothing from the
present city management, the only
idea that is dominant is to meet the
of the day and to lei
the future take care of itself The
result will be that our people, two
years hence, will be confronted with
the task of doing over again all that
has been done tor the past ten years.
But there should be no cessation OF

that the eyes of the people are Oh

The Fate Of Miguel Lopez, Who
Betrayed Maximiliaq.

It is now fully a quarter of CEN
tury since merciful dispensation
of Providence SO clouded the EN-
press Carlotta's mind that she was
spared a single pang of grief when
her royal husband was slaughtered
in Mexico.
For nearly a generation the widow
of the unfortunate Macmillan has
remained in ignorance of his fate.
But slowly, and by almost imper-
ceptible degrees, her mind has be-
come clarified, and she is once more
in the enjoyment of her faculties.
Looking backward through the long
years of darkness, that sad Mexican
business in which she played the
part of a heroine seems to her nearly
a dream. It is well that it is so.
Carlotta is not an old woman. She
is hardly forty-fve and something
in her future may yet compensate
her for her bitter past.
But the same day that her recov-
cry was announced also brought the
intelligence that General Miguel Lo-
PEE had been bitten by mad dog and
was under the Pasteur treatment.
This Lopez was Maximilian's
trusted friend, and the godfather of
his child. For bribe of $4,000
he gave the password to the troops
of Jaurez, 80 that they could enter
the city of Queretaro, and the cap
ture and execution of Maximilian
followed. The wife and children
of Lopez left him; he was Kissed
on the streets; even beggars refused
his charity and cursed him, and for
twenty-five years he lived Stunned
and despised.
What fate would be more fitting
for this false friend, who sold his
benefactor, than death in parox-
ysm of madness? He will snap
and snarl and foam at the mouth
like rabid hound. He will rave in
his paroxysms of maniacal frenzy.
He will tear his flesh in his mad
convulsions and die like a wild
beast.
Time brings it's revenges. AS the
traitor Lopez sinks out of sight in
the lurid shadows now descending
upon him, his victim, Carlotta,
comes once more into the light of
dav, serenely beautiful, once more
herself, the most charming woman
that has worn a crown since Eu-
genie in her happiest days. Dis
solving views-lights and shadows
they make up life Atlanta Con-
stitntiOn.

An Indian Tradition.

Catlinite, the sacred red pipestone
of the various tribes of Indians, is
found in quantity only in Pipestone
county, Minnesota, the county seat
of the county also being named
Pipestone. The Indians claim that
Manitou, the Great Spirit, taught
them the use of the stone and COM
manded them to always gather at
the quarry in peace. For miles
around the quarry in every direc-
ton may be seen relics of camps,
now nearly buried from sight, ex.
cept where the prairie has recently
been swept by fire. The Indians,
not only of the near vicinity, but of
the whole Northwest, tell a peculiar
legend to account for the fact that
the stone only exists at this partic-
ular point. They say that thous-
ands of years ago a remnant of red
men were driven by great deluge
to the top of this rocky crest. Upon
the very pinnacle of the crest an
eagle had built her nest and was sit
ting upon her eggs. The encroach-
ment of the waters finally drowned
the entire party except a beautiful
maiden, who clung to the eagle for
safety. When the waters receded
the girl was surprised and Mortified
to find her late companions turned
into solid rock resembling shining
jasper. Presently the Great Spirit
appeared and in solemn wrath
vowed that henceforth the tribes
should meet here only in peace;
that no warwhoop should be heard,
but thereafter the tribes should as
semble at the sacred spot once each
year to wash off their war paint and
smoke the pipe of peace, in token
of which the maiden and the war
eagle should sacrifice milk-white
bison-the rarest and most sacred
beast that ever trod the American
plains.
On the following year, when the
ceremony was being carried out
according to the wishes of the Great
Spirit, flame from heaven scat
tered the blood of the sacred bison
all over the rocks, changing the
white, chalky cliff into crags of
crimson pipestone. The eagle then
joined in the compact by laying
five eggs which turned into huge
boulders, watched over by two fe-
male genii who alternately sleep
and watch the sacred quarry. Man

man how to carve pipes from the
stone and then left; not, however,
without leaving a memento of him.

How Man Came.

There are new stories of a legend
ary nature that are now related in
several forms. A correspondent of
the Chicago News, who has read the
Indian legend Of the creation, sends
the following excellent version of it !:
When the Great Spirit created the
world he first made three men, all
of the same color. Then he led
them to a pool of water and bade
them jump in and bathe. One of
them obeying at once leaped in in
advance of his fellows and came
out white and clean.
The others hesitated, but one soon
followed the first. When he went
in the water had become somewhat
stained and he came out copper
colored.
The third man went in. By that
time the water of the pool had be-
come black and he was consequent
ly black when he had bathed.
Thus it happens that there are
white men, red men and black men
in the world.
Then the Great Spirit laid down
three packages before the three men,
which contained their future fate.
Out of pity for the black man he
permitted him to have his first
choice Of the parcels.
The black man, without hesita-
ton, took the largest parcel; the
red man, whose turn was next, took
the next largest parcel, and the
white man got the remaining one,
which was very small.
Then the men opened their pack
ages. That of the black man was
found to contain shovels and other
implements of labor, the red mans
contained bows and arrows, and the
white mans small parcel consisted
"Opens, ink and tools for light work.
From that time on each man
made use of the tools be had chosen.

THE POWER oF WATER.
A Six-inch Stream With q S75-Foot
Head Will Work Wonders.

The old ascription of the power
to remove mountains to such as had
faith as a grain of mustard seed,
has come to be no mere figure of
speech. The effect of the hydraulic
monitor, which is now used for the
purpose Of removing masses of
earth, well-nigh passes belief. A
stream of water issuing from a noz-
zle or pipe six inches in diameter,
with fall behind it of 375 feet, will
carry away solid boulder weigh
ing ton or more to a distance of
so or 100 feet. The velocity of the
stream is terrific, and the column
of water projected is so solid that,
if a crowbar or other heavy object
be thrust against it, the impigning
object will be hurled a considerable
distance. By this stream of water
man would be instantly killed if
he came into contact with it, even
at distance of a couple Of hun
dred feet.
At 400 feet from the nozzle a six
inch stream with 375 feet fall, pro-
jected momentarily against the
trunk of a tree. will, in a second,
denude it of the heaviest bark as
cleanly as if it had been done with
an axe. Whenever such stream
is turned against a gravel bank it
cuts and burrows it in every direc-
ton, following out great caves, and
causing tons of earth to melt and
fall and be washed away in the
sluices. The quantity of material
which can thus be removed in a
short time is almost inconceivable.
This quantity depends, of course,
very much upon the nature of the
soil, whether loose soil, ordinary
gravel or cement gravel. Some
idea of the immense amount of
earth and gravel which has been
removed in this way may be gath
cred from some statistics on the
subject recently compiled in Cal
ifornia.
Duringthe height of the hydraulic
industry there was in use from the
Feather, Yuba, Bear and American
rivers and three other streams OF
water total of 1850, 500 miners
inches of water every "a hours. AT
an average of 81 cubic yards Of
gravel to the inch, there was thus
washed away daily 50, 100000 yards
of material. This is low estimate,
and as an actual fact, much more
was carried away. The amount
stated represents mass of earth
500 yards long, 386 yards wide and
200 yards high. If such prodig-
ious quantity can be washed away
in "a hours, it can require no great
length of time to remove mountains
and cast them into the sea.
