TWINS ARE NOT POPULAR.
When They Appear in an Indian
Camp One Of Them is Killed.

The following true story OF Indian
life Is told by an Arizona prospector
and describes one Of the queer supersti-
lions OF barbaric tribe: I'm January,

across the plain, and had a good sup
ply in barrel on the wagon. Every
thing was going along in good shape

further without water, and yet to re-
main there would be equally serious.
We did our best. Along in the even

Apaches in an almost exhausted condi-
ton. They gave me water and one
young couple who seemed 10 be super

Il. however, did not have my full
senses. The terrible strain on a dry
alkali plain without water and in the
burning sun was enough to turn ones

Gen. Meade in Action.

My duties kept me on Meade's front
lat Plattsburgh] large part of the day.
He showed himself the personification
of earnest, vigorous action in rousing
his subordinate commanders to superior
exertions. Even his fits OF anger and
his resort TO Incorporate language stood
him at times in good stead in squirting
on every one upon that active field.
He sent ringing dispatches to all points
of the line, and paced up and down
upon the field in his nervous, restless
manner, as he watched the progress of
the operations and made running COM
ments on the actions of his subordi-
mates. His aquiliDe nose and piercing
eyes gave him something of the eagles
look, and added to the interest of his
personality. He had much to try him
upon this occasion, and if he was Sc
we're in his reprimands and showed
faults of temper, he certainly displayed
no faults as commander. When the
battle was over, no one was more ready
to make amends for the instances in
which he felt that he might have done
injustice to his subordlnates. he said
to them: "Sorry to hear you cannot
carry the works. Get the best line you
can and be prepared to hold it. 1 sup
pose you cannot make any more attacks,
and feel satisfied all has been done
that can be DONE"

Grant to Buckner.

"a Blue and Gray Friendship" de-

at Mount McGregor, and as General
Grant could not then speak he wrote
message to his friend and former ad-
versary. This is reproduced in fac
smile for the first time. The message
was as follows:

SEVERAL Vermont people were injured
last Wednesday in wreck on the Hoosac
Tunnel and Wilmington railroad, near
Readsboro, among them Mrs. Elizabeth
Carpenter and @. b. Wheeler Of Whiting
ham, Frank Childs and Bertha Wheeler OF
Nottingham. The accident was caused by
the spreading of the rails. The railroad
which was constructed on the narrow-guage
plan, follows the Deerfield river in Massa-
chusetts and this state for five miles in the
mountains. The place where the deral-
ment occurred is a dangerous one, and
those who were on the train expressed sur
prise that it was not precipitated down the
steep incline. The train was made up of
freight cars and passenger coach and was
bound south. While going down grade
with steam off, the engineer suddenly felt
severe shock in the rear. The passenger
coach and freight car left the rails, and
turned over on their side. They were con-
siderably damaged, and the dozen passen-
gers in the former were panic stricken. The
two cars hung over the embankment, but
stopped on the side of the bank before they
went over.

THE body of the man found last week in
the woods near Rouses Point, N. :, proves
to be that of Alexander Clark, an old resi-
dent OF the town OF Duane, N. Y. He came
to Malone some weeks ago and seemed de-
termined to start out on a very cold night
to walk to Bethel, Vt. He was induced to
wait until morning, and some one pur-
chased a ticket for him. After visiting
friends in Vermont for time he was put on
the train and started back He got off at
Rouses Point, and doubtless became con-
fused and was lost, dying from exposure.
Mr.. Clark was about eighty years of age.
