To-day Lucien de Hern is lieuten-

His Hair Turned White.

Andrew Lindsey, who has lived near
Pease Bottom, Montana, for many
years, was strolling through the
Cochran. He was topped out in a
sombrero, and had Western flavor
to his speech. Said he: want to
tell you yarn about how mans hair
was turned gray in one whack. 1t
was Just after the Custer massacre that
an old fellow named Pease-we called
him Major Pease, because believe he
had been in the great and only y Civil
War-well, he pressed forward several
miles beyond the hog-back where the
famous fight took place, and built
stockade at what came to be called,
after him, Pease Bottom. He and his
men we're carrying on very thriving
trade with the redskins, but at that
time this business had to be conducted
with great caution, because the
savages were ugly and scalp hungry.
Two miles from the stockade was a
high point, from which survey of the
country could be had for miles in all
directions. A lookout was kept here
for Indians, and suspicious circum'
stances or warlike demonstrations
were at once reported to headquart ters.
One afternoon in the summer a man
named Paul Mccormick and his
partner, named Edwards, were sent
out to the observatory. They were
riding along at gallop through the
tall grass, and were approaching the
mouth of little coulie. Edwards
wasn't tenderfoot, but he was new
conner in that region. AS they
careered along, Mccormick said :
Edwards, what would you do if the
Indians should bounce out of that
coulie?" "Well, I'd either fight or
run" These words hadn't fallen from
his lips before bang went rifle and
war-whoops rent the air. Poor Ed
wards dropped from his horse, and
Mac, hard pressed by band of Black
feet Sioux, made for the stockade.
The people there knew what was up,
and the pursuers were picked off as
they came within range of the lead.
The gates were opened and Mccormick
rushed in. His hair was white, anc
has continued so. The body of Ed
wards was found lying in the bloody
and disordered grass, and the sealI
was missing. 1t was buried on the
spot, and the legend of Edwsrds'f
Coulie is one of the best known in the
far West. The folks at the stockade
put up rude headboard, but this has
long ago gone to decay.

Some time ago Mr.. Carnegie, the ex-
tensive iron-master, was approached
by the relief committee of Pittsburg
and asked what he was willing to do
for the suffering unemployed OF that
city. Mr.. Carnegie replied that
he would duplicate the sub
scriptions of the whole city. The
committee went to work with Il
will to make him give as much as pos
sible, and had up to a few days since
secured subscriptions amounting to
$50, 1876, when by some means Mr..
Carnegie's offer became public. The
committee says that the publication
has done an incalculable injury to the
good work, az the subscriptions at
once fell off to almost nothing. The
people of the city argue that if the
millionaire is going to give SO large a
sum it is unnecessary 20 make an
effort.

THE COMING OF NIGHT.

The lettering Day looked backward. smiling,
And slipped out through the west,
Where rosy, misty forms beguiling
Besought her for their guest
"Oh, follow, follow through the west
"our golden portals wide are swinging
For theealone, for thee.
And wistful voices clear are ringing
Across the darkling sea,
In eager welcoming to thee"
Aloft her silver censer holding,
The star-eyed Night drew close,
Her mantle round the hushed earth folding.
More sweetly breathed the rose,
As Night with tender tears drew close.
Her dusky sandals softly cleaning
With wandering threads OF gold,
Broidered by vagrant flreflies, seeming
Beneath each wing 10 hold
A fairy spinning threads of gold.
With silent football, weaving slowly
mystic, slumb'rous spell,
She came and something sweet and holy
The weary earth befell
When woven in the slumb'rous spell.

A Mining Opportunity Missed.

Speaking of gold excitements, "
said George w. Beal in the presence
of little social gathering in West
Park street few evenings since, ''re-
minds me of chance / once had to
purchase a placer claim in Confederate
gulch. The men wo owned the bar
offered it to me for $400 cash and were
anxious to sell at that figure, but ]
hesitated. Finally l told them would
have an expert examine and test the
ground and if it was what they repre-
sented it to be l would purchase it,
This was satisfactory, and my expert
made the test and reported unfavor-
ably upon it. That settled the deal,
and i went on my way in search of
other fields. About two months later
1 returned to Confederate gulch and
found six-mule team and wagon
behind it containing two tons of gold
taken from a portion of the bar those
men wanted to sell me for $400. The
team was ready to start for Fort Ben
ton with the gold and was surrounded
by thirty armed men, who were to
guard the metal ON the way. After
refused to purchase the ground the
men concluded to work it themselves,
and from space of 100 feet square
had taken the two tons of gold. /

ber of births increased more than
1000. The death rate for last year

ten years the average has been "a. r..

Now the cry of suffering comes from
India, where, it is reported, 10000,
600 are on the verge of starvation, not
because there is unusual deficiency OF
food, but because excessive taxation
and the monetary uncertainty have re-
duced the pittance left to the people
to a line bordering on pauperism.

Reports received at the War Depart
ment of recent small-arms competi-
tions among the troops in the Far
West show conclusivoly, relates the
Washington Star, that the noble red
man as represented in Uncle Sans
military service does not compare
very favorably with his pale-face
brother in the matter of sharpshoot-
ing. There is popular idea, gained
from Cooper's Leather Stocking Tales
and even more modern literature
about the "dusky denizens of the for
est" that all warriors are superior
marksmen. Army statistics prove that
this is a romantic delusion, so far rs
the Indian soldier is concerned.

The Manufacturers Record has pub
lished two pages OF letters from
bankers in all parts of the South III
regard to the general condition OF
business, but especially as regards the
financial position of Southern farmers.
Without exception these letters say
that the enforced economy of the last
two years has caused complete
change in Southern farm methods;
that the farmers are giving more at
tention to diversified agriculture, and
that they are now well supplied with
corn and provisions, which will pre-
vent the heavy drain of former years
to pay for Western food-stufis. Sum
ming up these reports the Manufac-
turers Record says ''rhey show
that the whole economic policy OF
Southern farm interests is undergoing
change and the credit system is be-
ing superseded by cash basis. The
low price of cotton for the last few
years forced upon the farmers the
necessity of raising their own food
stuffs, and added TO this was the de-
cision of bankers and factors to adj
vance mueh less money on cotton than
formerly. The result has been a
change that for the time being, while
passing from the credit with its liberal
buying to a cash system requiring the
closest economy, there has been less
trade with farmers, and hence n de-
creased volume of general business in
the South. But this has brought
about more solid condition of bust
ness in those dependent upon farm
trade throughout the South than We
have had for many years. Merchants
are Carrying small stocks and buying
only as needed farmers are paying
off their debts to such an extent that
without exception these letters from
bankers say that the farmers are less
in debt than for years. The money
that formerly went North and West for
provisions and grain has been retained
at home, and the full result is that
this section is probably less in debt to
its own banks and less in debt to the
North and West for supplies than in
any year since the war ended

The Excelsior" the largest dia-
mond in the world, is now deposited in
one of the safes of the Bank of Eng
land. 1t was found in June last in the
mines of Jagersfontein, Cape Colony,
by Captain Edward Jorganson, the in
spector of the mine. In his opinion,
corroborated by that of the director,
Mr.. Clifford, the Excelsior" is a stone
of the purest water, and is worth
about 50, 200, 900. 1t IS fully three
inches in height, and nearly three
inches in breadth, weighing 97l carats,
or about seven ounces troy. The color
of the Jagersfontein diamond is white,
with a very slight blush tint; and its
Iustre is matchless. At the centre is a
very small black spot, which experts
consider will be easily removed in the
sutting. According TO M. X. West,
The British Government have offered
half a million pounds sterling for this
diamond 10 the proprietors, Messrs.
Breitmeyer and Bernheimer, hut the
offer has been refused.
