Chief Of the Comanchss.

Quanah Parker IL chief OF the
Comanches, says the Little Rock
Gazette. Years ago wagon train
was attacked In Texas by the raiding
and marauding Comnnches and all
but one infant girl killed. She was
raised by the chief and married his
son, who, at the death OF his father.
was also chief. The rangers defeated
the Indians In battle and captured
the woman and her infant child.
She could only talk Comanche and
had almost lost all resemblance TO
the white race. She was taken to
her people, but she longed for her
Indian home and her husband, and
soon pined away and died, The
child was put Mt school and was being
raised as n white child. He was
called by the name his mother was
always saying "Quanah," the name
Of his father. A bitter warfare was
all this time kept up unremittingly.
IT Is history that there was always
war on the border. At length they
succeeded In recapturing the child.
He was much more like II white per-
son In looks than his mother after her
long captivity, and he also had the
ways and education Of white man.
He was chief when his father died
and has been for u number OF years.
He held the surname OF his mother,
having an Indian given name and an
English surname. Owing TO his edu-
cation and his mothers treatment
while with them, he has always been
friendly to he whites. He has done
much 10 make peace, and Is trying
to civilizc his tribe. He favors and
works hard with his people for allot-
ment in severalty OF their lands, and
the sale Of the surplus TO the govern
ment He recognizes the advantages
TO his people from contact with the
white man. and IL the Comanches
ever amount TO anything in civiliza-
tion IL will be due to the efforts OF
Quannh Parker.

given me arsenic in small quantities,

arsenic inside Of me to kill horse.

Queer Custom in . Boston Church. /.

In accordance with custom in
England that the kings cabinet must
retire from office when the sovereign
himself either abdicatcs or dies, 80
that the new sovereign may not be
hampcred in any way by advisers
who might be adverse TO his policy,
and which has been adopted by the
Central Congregational Society an
election OF deacons took place last
evening, owing to u change OF pastor.
The old board was reelected. The
aeacons are j. A. Denison, T. II. Rus
sell and J. A. Bennett. The board
will probably be increased TO six
members i'm the coming fall. The
custom Is believed TO be unique in
the church government Of Con-
gregational churches, and was
brought about by church quarrel
back i'm the fifties, when two or three
deacons belonged TO minority which
wanted 20 be rid Of the pastor. In
order TO prevent future disturbance
OF this nature on account OF COM
bative deacons. IL was agreed that all
the deacons should annually vacate

Greatly Surprised.

Lieutenant Blank of the army is
six feet four inches tall, and tips the
scale at two hundred and fifty pounds.
He was stationed for many years in
Washington, attached to a scientific
bureau OF the government, his writ
ings being well known to the scienti-
fic world
Much of his writing was done even
ings at home, and he would some
times carry home necessary reference
books, and return them to his Office
at will. One morning he gathered
together several, none OF them very
small and putting them under his
arm. started for his office.
In the course OF his walk he was
brought face TO face with very black
little negro, who, with arms akimbo,
chin dropped, and his shining black
eyes filled with wonder, had planted
himself directly in front Of Lieuten-
ant Blank.
Before the gentleman had time to
do more than take in this apparition
Of darkness, the little ''piccaninny"
had thrown back his head so a. to be
able to gaze up into the Lieutenant $
face, and in tone OF comical amaze
ment exclaimed:

had come up on top. He realized
Immediately his precarious position,
and, grabbing the cub by its heels,
he swung it with prodigious force,
by powerful swing OF his great
arms, against the giant grizzly. Its
head struck the fierce brute square
in the mouth, and its bruised and
bleeding form dropped from his hands.
Quicker than il would be possible 10

vitals OF the old bear, killing her inn

from his tree and looked in vain for
marks OF his bullets. He had not
hit the bear mt all. Heart Deep"
alone had done the work.
The giant of Mariposa only met
one enemy To which he was forced 10
succumb. Mountain fever at last
seized his powerful frame, his mind
departed, and soon the reaper wrapped
his thick, mysterious mantle of etern-
ity about him. On the left bank OF
the deep and sombre Kings River
canon, beneath few feet of granite
soil and the shade Of wide-spreading
juniper, wrapped in his hunting garb,
unwept, uncoflined, and unsung, eX-

OF Mariposa, and above his grave is
only this inscription: The Whale"

Gum has at last found it's mission.
An eminent VI. u. recently gave it as
his opinion that in fevers where
patients were fed largely upon liquid
foods, the salivary glands, from in
action, became partially paralyzed.
To counteract this, which was sure
to lead TO indigestion and dyspeptic
condition OF the stomach. this doctor
recommends that the patient be made
to chew gum. This, he said, would
make the saliyary glands act, and
yet not give the stomach work on
solids. which would be the case il
food were being masticated instead.
This eminent authority did not state,
however. that il is not Necessary to
chew gum outside the privacy OF

o THE MINES.
THE SILVER HORN.

The Silver Horn never looked better
than she does today. The new crosscut
is evidently soon to reach its destination,
as the breast of the works is blown full
of white and yellow iron, with copper
stains upon the rock taken from it.
There are three claims to the group,
the Hawkeye, Ratchet and Ratchet No.
2. They lay in the form of an elongated
triangle, the narrower part extending to
the north and across Carpenter creek, the
Hawkeye and Hatchet being wholly IN
the south side of the creek. Most of the
development on the property has been
done on the Hawkeye by W tunnels
running s%outhcrly. The one OF the east
follows a contact of porphyry and gran
lite for a distance of over 400 feet. Near
the south end of the tunnel the porphy-
ry wall has been crossed exposing sever
al stringers of fine ore with lead and sill
yer ores sprinkled well through the rock.
but no extensive ore body appeared in
this tunnel.
Three months ago Thomas Rothwell,
one of the stockholders, assisted by Ole
| Grendal, undertook to cross the country
from this tunnel to the Ratchet vein
cropping out at the surface some distance
to the east and bearing float, rich in lead
and silver. Until now they have been
pushing this crosscut, through a flinty
granite as hard as adamant, unbroker
by seams or planes of fracture, till now
the breast of the works is blown full OF
white and yellow iron and is also stained
with copper. They think the vein is moi
far distant, and as the work is 25O fee
below the surface they will be well abb
to Judge of its character when they
reach it.
A HERALD reporter called this weel
to examine the work done at this prop
erty and was kindly received by Mr.
Rothwell. In addition to the aforemen
toned advices, this gentleman showed
his great heart and genial hospitality b.
filling the stomach OF the biggest cate
that ever worked on this paper, whicI
last act was done in approved, hote
style. We have the best wishes for tn

GRAND PRIZE AND ENTERPRISE.

GRAND PRIZE AND
James Garner and Billie Rutkins have
taken a bond and lease from James l..
Neihart and VIM. Crandall on the Grand
Prize and Enterprise at the head of Rock
creek. The terms of the bond extend Il
year and place the value at $4,000
These claims are considered to be among
the best in camp. Very rich float has
been found at every part of the surface
ground and galena ore in two veins
is exposed at the very grass
roots. The owners besides doing the.
required amount of labor to procure pat
ents to the claims have driven a tunnel
$50 upon one of the veins, gaining a
depth in that distance of 1875 feet. The
same tunnel, from it's face will gain
six inches Of depth for each foot adj
vanced. The first so feet of this tunnel
is a crosscut to the vein. which being in
tersectcd and followed up has yielded
low grade ore throughout the distance
afterward opened up. The other VEN
has not been opened to any extent more
than to determine its character, locality
and direction. The claims are of full
length and cover the veins for "a distance
of 5000 feet.
