 Since the postponement of the date of the brigade enoampment of Alabama state troops from the goth to the 24th. instant, letters have been pouring into the offices of the governor and the adju- tant-general from company and regi- mental commanders requesting that the encampment be further postponed until July 10, and giving as reason therefor that their men could not leave their bus mess and attend on the latter part of the month; and this morning the gov ernor, adjutant-general and quartermas- ter-general held a consultation In the private office of the governor to delib- crate on the matter. After an hours deliberation they decided that prepara- tions had progressed to such an extent that it would not be possible to postpone the encampment further but that when 1t was imperatively necessary for a man to be at home toward the latter part of the month to attend to his business a furlough would be granted to him.

 Washington, June 14.-The navy de- partment is informed of the sailing of the cruiser Raleigh for Key West to sup press Cuban filibustering expeditions. The Raleigh should reach her new post of duty insi 'e of three days. Lying in the harbor of Key West and being read fly accessible by telegraphic advIces from both state and navy departments the Raleigh will probably keep the coast patrolled by small boats and steam launches In such manner as to dis tinctly assure Spain of the determin ton of the United States to suppress un- friendly movements originating here. and also to deter the Cuban sympa- thizers.

once possessed, and, while the mem- bers of the tribe revere her as great medicine squaw," the casual observer sees in Granny Houston, as she sits in her tepee in the sun, mumbling her in- sane vagaries, nothing more than a crazy old bag. And yet there is eyi- dence to show that in the days when tSarnn Houston, still young man, was cutting his name in the niche of fame in Texas, the now toothless de- mented old squaw was young and beau- tiful and intelligent. She was plump, black-eyed and bewitehing, and young Houston, in one of his forays, met and fell iu love with her. It was a com mon thing in those days for white men to take Indian wives, and Houston asked the squaw's father, a Wichita chief, for the girl. With Indian avarice the old man fixed her value in blankets and trinkets The deal was made, and Houston took his squaw bride to Texas, where they lived together for years. Que day the longing 10 rejoin her tribe became too strong to resist, and m.s. Houston ran away from frontier civili- zatlon to the bepeeS or IHe NlcH1G&S. Houston never reclaimed her, and there she has been ever since, freezing, starv- ing or feasting iii turn with the rest of her tribe.
 What makes the old squaw's story of greater interest is the fact that at Woodward, o. T., only 15O miles away, lives Temple Houston, youngest son of the famous. Texan. M. Houston is a bright lawyer, with large practice, and has an army of friends in the best social, business and professional circles. That he knows of the old squaw's ex- istence and history is doubtful. At any rate, there has never been any commu- nicatiop between thom.

Thrusting the half-dead bird in with the chickens, he exclaimed: There, by gosh! You'll say uncle be- fore you get out!" Next morning the uncle went out to see how the parrot was getting on. Looking into the coop he counted twenty-nine dead chickens, and in the center of the coop stood the parrot on one foot, holding the thir- tieth chicken by the neck and shaking it till it's head wabbled, and screaming: "Say uncle, goll darn yer, say uncle!''

 Ut is all the result" said the great detective, when asked about the mat ter. .'of the growth of the educated criminal class. This class has increased, Ithink, more rapidly than any other during the past five years. The result of their operations has been to elimin- ate violence from crime. The educated criminal will employ no violence. He is, as rule, highly superior in educa- ton, refinement and ability to his vic tim. He always operates among the newly rich The great number o1 prl- vate fortunes and the consequent null titude of persons with more money and time than they can spend have been an incentive to their development. The old police methods are out of date ID handling such cases. The pistol, the posse, the warrant are useless. These men have usually considerable capital at command. They can wait and nurse their victims"

A STRIKING COMPARISON.

Justice Lewis in the County Court re-
Gently charged with abandoning and
starving horse. He is TO be prosecuted
vigorously by the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals. The
horse died, and of course Turner is
guilty of murder-horse murder we
mean. There is a great deal of sympa-
thy for the horse, in fact it would seem
that the entire community is worked
up over the affair and Justice VINCENT
with lordly exercise of his authority
proceeds to certify the case on to the
grand jury. AS to what this horse
murderers punishment will be time
alone can tell 1t is very seriou:

court in which MosBy MELTON brutally
kicked the mother and killed her IN
born babe.
True the woman was an animal--'
human animal, but nothing was hear'
or has been heard from the Society
This animal could talk, and they in
terested themselves in those who coul
mot and would not talk.
So MosBY MELTON was given thirt

1t was proven that MOsBy MELToS
his wife and his son assaulted HANNA

them was considerably imposed upo
him and for thirty long days he laid

A PECULIAR APPOINTMENT.

Mr.. J. W. DoNLEy, white caught a
white special constable in the act of
defrauding a colored man out of his
ballot. This evidence was conclusive,
vet Justice VINCENT we are informed
declined to even send the case on to
the grand jury.
MYRR ANGLE was the white man who
thus perjured himself. To any fair
minded man, this was plainly evident
But there was vacancy among the
constables of Henrico County, and
many were the applications among
which quite fittingly was that of the
murderer Of Col. II. @. Parsons, ex-
Conductor T. A. GOODMAN.
Judge WIcKHAM of the Henrico Co
Court has always been regarded to bt
a most excellent gentleman, one wh'
would scorn a dishOnorable act, anC
white and colored We'd in doing hin
Honor. This was due to large exten
to his father, Gen. WIcKHAN, at tn
time of his death, Vice-president o
the @. & o. r. r.
This distinguished gentleman mad
the name WIcKHAM," a Household
word. Colored men would jump owe
party lines to vote for the, "old Gen
eral."
1t was surprising then, yea, disaI
pointing to everyone when it was a
