Mr.. Cremony, in his ''Life Among the
Apaches," gives an entertaining ac-
cousN of lady.ss> an with whom he
once enjoyed an interview. "A tall,
str6a well-made and handsome young
dandy" he calls him; sAsA about
wES& an air of very superior con-
sequence, displaying his colossal pro-
portions, his splendid leopard-skin sad
die, quiver, leggins and the like.
After awhile Sait-jah came swAgger-
70 toward me, and said, in broken
spanish: sour chief says you great
medicine; he says your pistol fires six
times without reloading; he says you
bring the trees which are afar off close
( to the eye, SO you can count the leaves;
he says your guns reach a great way
and never miss; he says great many
other wonderful things, which / can
not believe. You have bewitched him"
Drawing q six-shooter from my belt,
| pointed out tree about seventy-tive
yards distant, and began firing rapidly.
Each shot st~r,c'- the@ Tree, and blazed
oii large fragments of the bark.
Sait-iah was astonished, and made no
attempt to conceal the fact; but his ad-
miration broke into emphatic express
sion when he witnessed the precision
and reach of our Sharp's rifles, and the
rapidity with which they could be
loaded and fred. His pride had evil
IDENTIFY received heavy fall, and his
lofty bearing was toned down many
degrees.
In my possession was the miniature
of young lady, whose graces of per-
son, cultivated mind and amiable dis
position rendered her one of the most
lovable of Boston's fairest daughters.
Sait-jah happened to see this picture,
and asked permission to take good
look at the pleasant features. The
miniature was placed in hishand, and
his eyes seemed to devour its expressive
lineaments. Throughout the remain
der of the day he bored me with fre-
quent requests for another look, and
the next morning, as soon as the camp
was astir, he offered me his bow, ar
rows and splendid leopard-skin for the
picture.
The offer being refused, he added his
horse, and whatever other property he
might have; then, finding me deaf to
his 'entreaties, he took one long, last
look, vaulted ON his horse, set off at
full speed, and rapidly disappeared in
the distance.

No organization that does not
have fight in it now and then,

a clash when the currents aim to

THE INEVITABLE.

OUR country is rapiuly appIofCh-
ing a crisis on the financial ques-
tion. The terrible conflict" be-
tween the national banks and the
people predicted by secretary Chase
is approaching, says the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. The banks have
combined to control the financial
policy and the politics Of the coun-
try. When officials declare that
the obligations of the government
must all be paid in gold, whether
in the form Of bonds or greenbacks
or treasury notes, or silver certif-
Gates, and that no provision should
be made requiring the payment of
custom duties in gold the coast was
clear, for the banks to make raids
upon the treasury and depleted it
Of its gold reserves. AS the credit
of the government must be preserv'
ed, it had no resource left to obtain
gold but to buy it with interest
bearing bonds. The process must
be resorted to every few months, or
as often as the banks could supply
themselves with greenbacks and
treasury notes with which to loot
the government vaults. Govern
ment officials having decided that
silver cannot be used in the pay
ment OF obligations, but is only
credit money, to be redeemed like
treasury notes in gold, the bank
partly proposes the only remedy in
sight, viz: Pay off the greenbacks
and other credit money fast as pos
sible and cancel them. Enlarge
tho powers Of the national banks
and give them full authority to
supply all credit money. and II
they get into tight place permit
them to issue an emergency money,
One of the prominent reasons CIV
en- for the adoption OF this plan is
that it will relieve the government
of the banking business. They
claim that supplying the money is
the legitimate business Of corpora
tions, assuming that issuing money
s is not function Of the govern
rhentl TO supply the treasury
with funds to retire the credit
money of the government Congress
should authorize the issue Of inter-
est bearing bonds, which the banks
could use for sound, safe, honest
money!
In brief, the scheme is to make
silver a mere token of money, to be
redeemed in gold on demand; rid
the country Of oil goveshment is
sues Of paper currency and give il
only the privilege Of indorsing and
making good the paper ofthe banks,
II is claimed that by giving to the
banks the entire control of the cur
rency the people will alway have
/. safe and honest money. 1t will
) be very safe, as the government as
sumes the responsibility Of its re-
demption; honest, because the peo'
pie must pay the banker for it'
use.

BRONCO AGAINST MOOSE.
The Latter Was Shedding His Horns
and Performed Queer Antics

The Latter Was Shedding His Horns
and Performed Queer Antics.
Very few people have ever seen a
bull moose shed his horns. This trans
formation usually takes place between
jan. and Jan. 8, during which time
the animal is very ugly. The bull
moose in the Ellerton moose park in
Roseau commenced shedding his horns
on the date mentioned, and during the
process performed some queer antics.
He would run and jump at every
thing in his way, but trees and fences,
and, his mates were driven by the big
fellow hither and thither. A kicking
bronco was turned In the park, and
for few moments the fight was ter
rifle, the bronco coming out winner
with his heels.
Finally the moose backed away and
made a run for the horse. This was
too much for the bronco, which fed
for dear life. with the moose in full
pursuit. The race was made around
the corral ten times before the moose
could be stopped and the horse taken
away from the enraged animal, which
was accomplished with no little
trouble and danger. It will be some
time before that bronco can be in
duced to mingle with moose.-Minne-
