LOST BIRD.
A Little Indian Maiden Adopted by Gen
Colby.

Philadelphia Times.
Zintka Lanuni, or the "Lost Bird"
is the little Indian baby who was
adopted by Gen. and Mrs. l.. w. Colby,
of Washington, ID. G. She Is now
three years Of age, and may be seen
any day in the ncighborhood Of n and
Eleventh streets walking out with
her nurse. She is bright little
dumpy baby girl, strong and active,
not unlike other little girls Of her age,
except for her dark, copper-colored
skin and her straight black hair. She
is full-blOOded Sioux and must have
some Of the instincts of her tribe.
For instance, she is very fond OF
bright colors and will sit for hours
sewing on pieces of gay silks and
stringing beads. Although only three
years of age, she is proficient in the
first accomplishment of a good wife
she can sew on button.
Her story is one of great interest
and pathos. She was found on the
battlefield of Wounded Knee Greek in
her dead mothers arms. 1t was Dee.
80, 1890. When Col. FOrsythc, with
Seventh Cavalry, undertook to disarm
the Indian Chief Big Foot and his
band of l06 warriors, on the day fol.
lowing the slaughter of that fatal
scene, there was a terrible snowstorn
and blizzard, which with the fear of
ambushed savages, prevented the
United States hospital and buria
details from rcScuing the wounded
and burying the dead on the field.
1t was four days afterwards, on
Jan. |, that the little baby girl, ap
parently about four months old, wa.
found by the side of its dead mother
The mother was partly covered with
snow, and the baby had been snugly
held in the papoosc or postOnt pocket
by the lifeleSs form, during all these
days and nights of freezing cold. She
was frozen about the head and feet,
and was at once taken to the lodge of
an Indian called yellow Bird, where
she was cared for
Gen. Colby was at the time In COM
mand of the Nebraska State troops
and was in the neighborhood Of Pine
Ridge, protecting the frontier lie
took the baby and arranged with Vel
low Bird to have it cared for until he
should be able to return to Beatrice,
Neb., his home.
The Indian nurse, learning that the
child was to 60 with white man,
took her to the hostile camp, from
which Gen. Colby had great difficulty
in obtaining her, but, with the aid of
Yellow Bird. finally succeeded. With
a half-brced nurse for the child, he
started on a long prairie drive and a
journey by rail. and arrived with it
safely at home in day or two. Lost
Bird was nursed tenderly through all
the ailments that folowid the star.
vation and frost bite and improper
feeding, and duly installed in her new
home, where she was legally adopted.
Zantka is the Sioux name for BIRD,
and Lanvni for Lost" While in camp
Gen. Colby heard the Indian woman
grooming over the baby and calling
her pet names. He selected this
poetic one by which she is known.

A LITTLE MIXED.
Senator voorhees, Not Correct About Good
Friday.

friday.
New York Mail and Express.
That weeping willow of the Wind
ing Wabash, or whatever his pet name
may be, Senator Voorhees,, has as
serted fresh claim to distinction.
On Thursday last hearOse in his place
in the Senate, and, with the gravity
becoming the subject, moved that las
yesterday was Ash Wednesday and
tomorrow will be Good Friday the
Senate do now adjourn to Monday
noon. The proposition of the abo-
resent Senator was received by his
colleagues with thrill of emotion,
yet in trembling tones the Vice Pres
ident of the United States put the
motion, which was unanimously car
ricd. This startling action set loose
a food of questions and conjectures.
Did this transfer of Good Friday from
the 23d of March to the 9th of Feb
ruary originate in the heart OF the
Sycamore or is it the OutcrOp of an
other secret policy of President Cleve-
land? Was Voorhees, acting on his
| own desire to have less fasting and
mOrti lication of flesh, or was the wink
tipped him from the white house?
Have the archbishop of Canterbury
and the bishops and cardinals in this
and other lands been consulted and
their adhesion to the lent of VOor-
hees secured? What is the opinion
of her most sacred man above all, and
how will this change affect those
young couples who have planned to be
joined in one the week after Easter?
Can they still retain their individual
freedom until the end of March, or
must they be dragged in the altar
next weeek? And in case the trOus-
seaux are not ready what then?
We fear that Senator voorhees, has
taken this new departure witout due
consideration of the multiplicity of
questions and interests involved and
affected by it. But then what person
expects that democrat will know
much about matters of religion.

What changed Senator George.

The Washington correspondent, +.
b. W.. of the Atlanta Constitution
thus speaks of our senior Senator:
Senator George, of Mississippi, Is
one of the few democratic Senators
who voted against Mr.. Hornblower's
confirmation, and for the condrma
tion of Mr.. Peckham.
Just what influenced Mr.. George
to vote for Mr.. Peckham is not known.
1t certainty was not that Mr.. Peck
ham was more qualified for the SUI
preme bench than Mr.. Hornblower.
or course there are all sorts Of Sto-
ries anoat as to what changed Senator
George. Whatever it was the Mis-
sisssppi Senator displayed some show
of temper toward Senator Hill In the
judiciary committee when the matter
was being discussed.
1t seems that Mr.. Peckham denied
the interviews that were nlblished
with him Immediately after The Sem
ate had rejected Mr.. Hornblowcr, in
which he criticised the Senate very
severely. In the face of Mr.. Peck
hams written denial, Senator Hill
presented to the committee atlidavits
| from New York Newspaper men who
had interviewed Mr.. Peckham to tho
effect that he had said exactly what
they had printed. There were several
of the aiiidavits and they were clinch-
ers. They were from newspaper men
who are recognized rs the best and
most reliable men on the New York
Journals. Senator George, however,
persisted in believing Peckham's
statement and announced In commit
tee to Senator Hill that he would
place no reliance whatever on the
atfldavits of newspaper men. His ex-
pericnce with them here, he said. had
taught him that newspaper men
would just as soon tell lie rs 70 tell
the truth.
So Senator George was SO much rat
tied over his own change OF front that
he felt he must besmirch the reputa-
tion of 200 ur more Washington cor
respondsnts In order to maintain his
posiuon.

The idea of purchasing the old bat
tlefeld of Shiloh. and turning it into
a national memorial park, as In the
case of Chickamauga, is one that
should commend itself to all patriotic
citizens. There Is no better way OF
cOnsecrating that cause for which
North and South fought, according
tn its convictions. than by preserving
the place upon which so many thous'
ands, filled with country's glory,
smiled In death. 1t is the most ef-
fectual method of keeping their graves
green.
