(From the San Francisco Argonaut)
I'm the heart of the great desert Of
the Colorado-which the Southern Pa.
cific road traverses-there is an oasis
called Indio, which, in our opinion, is
the sanitarium of the earth. We be.

for certain invalids, there is no spot OF
this planet so favorable"
G. Il. Stewart, Nj. D., writes: "The
purity of the air, and the eternal sun.
shine, fill one with wonder and delight.
Nature has accomplished SC
much that there remains but little for
man to do. AS to it's possibilities as a
health resort, here is the most per,
feet sunshine, with temperature al
ways pleasant, a perfectly dry soil
for rain is an unknown factor; pure
oxygen, dense atmosphere and pure
water. What more can be desired?
1t is the place, above all others, for
lung troubles, and a paradise for rheu-
mates. Considering the number of
sufferers who have been cured, 1 have
no hesitancy in recommending this
genial oasis as the haven of the afflict-

The reprieve granted Grant Griffin
the negro murderer, confined in the jail
at Gainesville, expires on the 10th inst,
and if no further orders are received, he
will be executed on that date. r. e.
Davis, Griffin's attorney, has presented
the case to the pardoning board, and
believes that Griffin's sentence will be
committed to life imprisonment. The
murder for which Griffin was sentenced
was committed at Lacrosse in the latter
part of last year, and, according to the
evidence, was most cold-blooded. The
people of the Lacrosse vicinity and those
here who are familiar with the case,
think that Griffin should be hanged. He
has been twice reprleved by the gov
ernor, and is still hopeful. The time now
draws near, and no doubt, the matter
will soon be settled.
Business in the United States Land
Office in Gainesville was light during the
month of March, and fell far behind
that of last month. Only sixty'six
homestead entries were made, covering
an acreage of 8,4O1.15. Final proofs of
claims were made upon 7,672.87 acres.
Only one school indemnity selection was
received during the month, and that
covered an acreage OF only thirty four
acres. The office is receiving the claims
of the Anastasia Island settlers. and will
take action upon the cases as soon as
possible. Then it is thought that rush
will be made to homestead that valuable
tract of land.
Oscar Mack, charged with stealing
cattle near Jonesville, resisted arrest last
week, and was shot several times. His
wounds are not considered dangerous.
Several hides of missing cattle were
found in his possession. The negroes
throughout the county are experiencing
much trouble in keeping body and soul
together. With the exception of moss,
there is nothing for them to convert into
money or food. Some are too indolent
and lazy to gather the moss and prefer
stealing for living. If it continues in
this way trouble of a serious nature is
looked for, especially in the wsterne
part of the county.

The gent with the Loudoun county whis-

when Star man, mousing around there for
stray bit of news, happened on him.
Hello. there, young feller," he said,

The cobbler who nended my shoes, states
a writer for The Star, was named Bigly,
and he was always called general" which
somehow did not quite comport with my
idea of the cobbler.
True. he had been soldier during the
whole of the rebellion, but just what kind
of soldier I did not know. True, also,
he had lost his leg at Gettysburg, but it
was dozen years after the war in the
accidental upset of traction engine drag
ging threshing machine into field.
Still he was General Bigly" In the COM
mon parlance and one day asked him
about it.
Weren't you in the ar,ny?'' inquired.
''Yes. sir" he answered. proudly and
promptly
See much fighting?"
From April, 81 to September, g.
IT notice that everybody calls you gen
eral.' what was your rank? Were you a
general?"
II was in command of the Army of the
Potomac, SIR he said, as truthfully In
tone as any man I ever heard speak.
"Oh. come" 1 laughed. Il never heard of
a General Bigly In command Of that army.
You are giving me CUFF, as the boys say"
It's true IS gospel" he insisted.
Tell me about 1t if it's all the same"
well, you sec it was this way" he said,

not looking squarely at me. II was in the
Army of the Potomac when Gen. Grant
took charge and l was a sergeant. You
see used to know the general out in Ca
lena when he wasn't SO much. and he was
mighty friendly with me and made me his
orderly. used to go every place with
him, ridin' over the field and that kind of
thing. and sometimes there wasn't nobody
but me and the general ridin' around for
miles together. Well one day we had rode
out along the road and we come to a little
place where man lived that could make
the finest mint julep in the whole state of
Virginny. 1 knowed about the place and
so did the general, and when We struck it,
mint tuleps didn't grow on trees in them
days in Virginny. When we got opposite
the gate, the general sorter stopped his
hess and looked over at me- and 1 shut
down one eye soft and easy"
BILL says he, he always called me Bill
IN private, Bill, will you do me favor?
Anything on top of earth, general
says !. What is it%

Then he went in. and for about fifteen
minutes l set there on my boss like Ma

and ever since that time the boys have
called me general and I didn't see any
use of saying they shouldn't"
1t didn occur to me to ask the general"

one, for the general wasn't man to let

The only uncertain element of the after
noon out-of-door concerts is the rain, and
members of the band watch the heavens
eagerly when they rise on either Saturday
or Wednesday, the days when they are to
play either at the White House or the

At the last concert at the latter place
there was no sign of weeping sky until
the program was nearly completed, when
before the presence of black clouds could
be realized, there was heavy fall of rain,
and the band and audience were driven
away to shelter. However unconcerned the
