Affairs at Rio.

WAsHfNGTy N, March II The
State Department receiYed two im~
portaut dispatches from Minister
Thompson at Rio this evening,
The fist one stated that Admira
S,aladarba Da Cana has offered
through the Portugese naval com

was brought to President Peixotto
by the Portuguese cffiser in person
Peixotto's reply is mol given but it
is inferred from the second dispatch
OF Minister Thompson, received
two hours later the first, that the
terms we're favorably received,
According to the second dispatch

from The dispatches the war has

shadows that hid them from danger.
the fugitives gathered, one by one, to
unbend their bows, to dash them In
despair upon the ground, to curse the
Iroquois, and to mourn this new shame
which had befallen them. Among
them all, there was but one-a girl
who refused to mourn with her people.
Watseka was her name.
Although young, Watseka was well
known for her proud spirit and her
beautiful face. AS was ft in her sex,
this young girl had stood with the
crowd of weeping women and children
little apart from the gloomy war
riors. She read their hearts, saw their
tears and heard their 1noaps. The
cowardice of the men made her eyes
dry. kept her lips closed and reused all
the ferceness of her wild nature.
Who would take revenge on these grim
painted, scalp-loving warriors-upon
those who had swept upon her people,
to kill them as they would deer, and to
drive them from the land the Great
Spirit had given them?
She frowned as she saw that the
warriors, with brave curses still upon
their lips, were creeping farther and
farther back into the shadows.
Then Watseka burst into heroism.
Forgetting that among warriors no
talking squaw had right to place, she
sprang forward and put herself in the
path before them. With flashing eyes
and curling lips she spoke:
''Men of the Illini, right are the Iro-
quois when they boast that they have
put the dress of squaws upon you and
hoes into your hands. Turn back to
your village You cannot miss the
path-your burning wigwams have
made it clear. Your women and chill
dren are here-to-day. Do you know
where they will be when the sun
shines tomorrow? Have no fear, the
Iroquois will know how to make your
wives cook their corn and your daugh-
ters fetch them water. Tonight they
count the scalps and feed at your fires
on the deer they have killed on your
hunting grounds. What! You will
not go, then2 Goodl Watseka will
show you how to be men. Come with
me, women of the Illini! We have not
gathered our corn to feed the Nro-
quois.''
ALI the women turned to Watseka
Grandmas saw in her bright eyes that
spirit which, when young, they them
selves might have had, and loved her
for it. Each mother looked upon her
through fearful eyes, wishing that the
Great Spirit had spoken to her daugh-
ter instead. The hearts of the young
girls beat proudly because one OF
themselves had been called to rouse
their tribe against the thieving Iro-
quois.
No second call was needed Old and
young crowded eagerly around her,
each woman arming herself with the
| first hatchet or stick that fell her way.
And even the boys-who, with black
looks and bent heads, had been follow
| ing their fathers-left the braves, and
ranged themselves with flashing eyes
| beside their mothers and their sisters.
Watselza's spirit was over them all.
But as it turned out, the women Of
| the nlini were not to fight that day.

young maidens, SO that no wigwam
might lose it. For it was tale, as each
heard it, to shame their youn e warriors,
and to make proud the b carts of the
young maidens. The Illini have passed
away forever. Under mighty mounds,
grass-covered and fower-crowned, their
bones are laid, yet not forgotten.
They have given their names to the
streams, lakes and towns of the white
race that came otter them; and through
these their traditions live, to this day,
in the memories of white men.
-Four hundred years ago when all this
new world was for the red man, a
bright stretch of that prairie land,
which now forms 50 large part of the
state Of Illinois, once attracted the
fierce eyes Of roaming party of Iro-
quois. These had come from the east
There had been no need for them to
stray so far away from their villages.
Their hunting grounds at home were
vast; their skies were filled with birds;
their rivers teemed with fish. But the
1roquois, coyeting the vaster hunting
grounds toward the setting sun, found
the Illini across their way. So they
hated them.
A peaceful band of Illini had built
their lodges on beautiful stream. On
its banks were ancient oaks and state
ly walnut trees. shaded by which they
could lie and dream in the hot hours Of
a summers day. From the edge of the
wood, and as far as tho eye could see,
extended the grassy prairie, gay with
scarlet lilies, phloxes and morning
glories. Dear was this prairie to the
very heart Of the Illini The Great
Spirit had given it to their fathers for
them to enjoy it's sweet breath, and to
their children after them. There, for
uncounted moons, had they passed
their days in careless. happy, lazy
fashion.
But one day 1ong-remembered as
full Of the sun and his glory, Of the
sweetness Of flowers, of the song OF
birds, and ef the hum Of bees-while
warriors, suuaws and children were

COMMON THOUGHT,

The sad-souled man who wrote these
lines, whose whole life was clouded by
intense physical and mental suffering
for he faced death Often, and hunger
many times-was born in Char 'eston in
1929. He died, after giving promise of
rare poetical powers, at Columbia, in
1867.
Somew here on this earthly planet,
In the dust of flowers to be-;
In the dewdrop, in the sunshine,
Sleeps a solemn day for mo.
at the waketul hour of midnight
l behold it dawn in mist,
And I hear the sound of sohbing
Through the dark ness-hist! oh, hist!
In dim and murky chamber,
I am breathing life away:
Some one draws curtain softly,
And 1 watch the broadening day.
As it puppies in the zenith.
AS it brightens on the lawn,
There's a hush of death about me,
And whisper, "He is gone"

watseka's bitter words brought back

Watseka's bitter words brought back
the blood into the warriors veins.
Slowly from darkness they came into
the light like owls; but upon the sleep
ing Iroquois they fell like wolves!
So they won back TO their wigwams.
It is good to know that the chief Of
her tribe did not forget to honor Wat
selza. Her exploit was long told among
their traditions, and in the summer
frightened many weary hour in the
wigwams when the braves were on the
warpath. After Watseka had passed
away, so long as the Illini were peo-
pie, her name was handed down in
every generation to the most beautiful
and the bravest girl of the tribe.
Nor has the race, which arose when
her own people were fallen forever,
wished her story to be forgotten. The
river by which the Iroquois were routed
is still known by their name; and a
fair town rising in the land SO loved by
her proudly bears the name Of the
heroic girl who in the day Of despair
redeemed her tribe and turned their
shame into honor.-St. Nicholas.

GoLDsB ,Ro, N. G. March 9Th 1894.
At a meeting tf Thoa. Ruffin
Camp of Confederate veterans,
held March, 9Th 1894, Col, John
II. Hill, Commander, presiding, a
committee of three was appointed
to draft resolutions expressing the
feelings and admiration Of the
Camp, of the virtues and military
skill, and unswerving devotion to
the Confederate Cause, Of Lieut.
Genl Jubal A. Early, who has just
passed from the cares and struggles
of this World, "to rest.''
The Committee submitted the
following preamble and resolutions
which were unanimously adopted.
Whereas, we the members of
Thos. Rufin Camp of Confederate
Veterans of Wayne County, havs
ing learned of the death of Lieut..
Gen. Jubal A. Early, late Corps
Commander of the Army of
Northern Virginia. which occurred
at his home in Lynchburg, Vir-
ginia, March 4th 1894, and deems
ing it fit and proper, that we, some
of whom were under his command,
should express to the public our love
and admiration for him, our late
fellow soldier; Therefore Be 1t
Resolved; That as Military
Commander we recognize in Gen'l
Jubal A EARLY one of the very ab-
lest engaged in the la6e Confeder-
ate Cause, a hero of many battles,
one who for bravery and integrity
of purpose was surpassed by no one
of the heroes of our late war. That
we honor his memory for the
love he so conspicously manifested
for the veterans and their families
who served in the Confederate
Cause, which he and his conrad es
in arms believed to be just and
right, rendering aid to those who
have had the manliness since the
termination of that conflict, to ad-
nit with pride their participation as
Confederate Soldiers, and repudi-
ing with emphasis any who for the
sake of gain or political influence,
or other reasons, abandoned their
Confederate comrades. Having the
courage of his convictions he
openly dared to express them, and
while we recognize ia him brave
and skilltul commander, we also
esteem him for his honesty, beleiv.
ing that the world would be better
off if his virtues were emulated.
Resolved that page of our re-
cords be devoted to his memory,
and that copy of these resolu.
tions be sent to our City papers, to
Gen'l, E. D. Hall. Commander of
Confederate Veterans Camps of
North Caroline, and to the family
Of our honored colnrade.

WHEN BESSIE DIED.

When Bessie died
We braided the brown hair AID tied
1t just as her own little hands
Had fastened back the silken strands
A thousand times-the crimson bit
Of ribbon woven into it
That she had worn with childish pride,
Smoothed down the dainty bow, and cried
When Bessie died.
When Bessie died
We drew the messy blinds aside,
And, as the morning,,in the room
Burst like a primrose into bloom,
Her pet canary's cage we hung
Where she might hear him when he sung,
And yet not any note he tried.
Thaugh she lay listening folded eyed!
When Bessie died.
When Bessie died
We writhed in paryeru nsatisfed;
We begged of God, and He did smile
In silence on us all the while;
And we didssee Him through our tears.
Enfolding that fair form of he's,
She laughing back against His love,
The kisses we had nothing OF.
And death to us He still denied
When Bessie died
When Bessie died.
