women,. RIghts ln IndIana.

The legal rights of women are no
where in the union more liberal than in
the state of Indiana. In a recent aa-
dress by lawyer before the Woman's
club in Indianapolis these were thus
formulated: Since 1881 a married
woman may hold real or personal prop
srty the same as if she were unmar-
Tied. She Is now permitted to become
surety or indorser for her husband, 81
any other person. She may carry on
any trade or business, and perform any
labor or service on her separate ac-
count, and is entitled to her separats
earnings. Her legal condition is ona
Of comparative freedom and independ-
ence. The policy Of the law of recent
years has been TO remove her disabili.
ties, and at the same time to protect
her from the Vaccinations Of thos,
who might seek to take advantage oi
her inexperience and OF her willing
ness TO sacrifice everything material
for the sake OF those she loves"

They Quit when They Discovered He

was n Yank.
Governor Matthews is telling a good
story he heard in the South recently,
says the indianapolis Journal. In
valley in the northern part Of Georgia,
between two mountains, which shut out
all communication with the outside
world. there lived an old planter who,
while an ardent adhorent Of the South
ern cause, was too badly crippled by
infirmities to shoulder a musket and
march barefooted. But he had son
whom he sent. and after the boy had
disappeared down the road the old man
waited for the news Of the strife. Occa-
sionally rumors OF Southern victories
would float over the mountains ard the
old man Uncle S.. he was called
would rejoice and take an unusually
large dose OF mint 3ulep. At other times,
whom reverse news came and II was re-
ported that the gray had been turned
back. the old man would bitterly Ia
mcnt and use the same remedy for griei
and sorrow that he used TO quiet his
joy Through It all he had abundant
faith in The ultimate victory of the con
fsderate army, and any doubt expressed
would meet with a stern rebuke.
The years wore on and news failed to
arrive. The valley was deserted ana
there was no one to learn the course OF
events. The old man smoked his pipe
and waited impatiently for news. one
morning as he sat on the front porch,
with his pipe, far down the dusty road
appeared the form Of solitary pedes-
trian. Gradually he approached and
the feeble vision Of the aged planter
recognized his long-absent son. Inc
puns from the pipe came thick and last,
out this was only the sign Of eagcrness
or nervousness displayed. The gate
swung open and the soldier walked up
and sat down on the steps.
"Mornin', jim" said the old man.
"Mornin', pap" was the quiet re-
sponse.

with troubled expression. asked:

broken
Four days afterwards Marshall took
the gold to Captain Suffer, who tested
Il with nitric acid. The men working
on the mill then set TO work, and many
of them found gold in the rocks. Mar
shall selected for the mill site a spot
that was as rich as any but the cry
richest; hence he could scarcely avoid
making the discovery.
The manner in which the news of the
rich strike leaked out and spread from
the backs of the American across two
hemispheres' is described by Captain
Suffer, Marshalls employer. The mis-
chief-for such he considers twas due
to the wagging tongue of Mrs. WINNER,
the cook aforesaid. She boosted of the

Fort Suffer from Coloma. This man Sc
cured some of the gold, and took it
with him At that time the famous
Sam Branan and George Smith, a rela-
tive of the Mormon prophet, kept a
store in one of Suffers outhouses. The
Swiss teamster exchanged some of his
gold for a bottle of Brannap's' brandy.
And so the secret was a secret no lon
ger.
Suffer and Marshall then leased from
the Indians some twelve miles square
Of land at a yearly rent of $780, They

rendered this rent impossible to coll
lect. The land leased from the Indians
was the first to go; and then the dig
gers began coolly to encroach upon the
two sections claimed by Suffer and
Marshall. In a subsequent article the
strange life of the Argonauts, and the
early chronicles of their mining will
be dwelt upon. The present. paper will
simply follow the adventurous career
of Marshall to it's unworthy end.
Marshall became involved in count
less disputes with the sWarms which
had overlooked his dfggings. Robberies
became common, and a thieving Or
ganization known as 1.-THE Mountain
Hounds became the leading spirits in
these acts of rapine. During a visit
to San Francisco, Marshall managed to
worm himself into the confidence of the
city branch of this body, but refused
to reveal their nefarious plots to the
state. The subsequent destroyal of
San Francisco by fire is set directly
at the door of the Hounds"
Marshall brought suit to recover the
lands encroached upon by the miners,
as well as houses and oxen, to the
value of $4,000, of which he claimed to
have been robbed. In those days there
was but one end to such a suit: and
that end was its loss. During so and
81 he lost everything which he had
gained by going to Coloma. He wan
dered around from place to place. at
tended by imaginary spirits, and see
ing strange visions. In 81 he returned
to Coloma, where he did all sorts of
odd jobs for a living while not mining
and prospecting around. In IS he
bought for SIS plot of ground, where
on his monument now stands. Here
he planted a vineyard and made wine,
gradually giving way to habits of IN
temperance. The vineyard was laid
out by the spirits Marshall walked
along, gazing all around, until the
spirit moved him, when he would Sc
lect a certain spot and plant there a
cutting.
MaGshalFs everlasting complaints
about his imaginary and actual
wrongs, caused the belief to be spread
abroad that he had been treated with
gross ingraHtude. Some idea of the
inflated condition of his mind may be
gathered from the following letter sent

Perhaps you have seen the. azure skies
Look down on summers day,
just when the noontide ere it dies,
Pushes the clouds away;
More beautiful far than the tranquil hue

Is the light that shines through the soul
full blue,
When dear Jack looks at me.

I have looked in the brown, but 1 turn

There is something that all of them

Ills charm that I miss in these eyes 1

Though l know my unworthy degree;
'Tis the something which makes me feel
like a queen,
When dear Jack looks at me.
If those dearest eyes on me should frown,
Or change in their trusting belief,
All the joy would go, snd 1 could not

Within my heart the grief;
But when l see the clear sunlight there,
The smiles that those eyes set free,
Then all the world is so bright and fair,
When dear Jack looks at me.
