Lee as an Indian Eighter.

After Fitzhugh Lee graduated from
West Point. back In the fifties, he was as
signed as Lieutenant TO the Second Cav
airy, of which his uncle. Robert y. Lee
was colonel. His active service COM
menced at once. The Indians were much
excited by the crossing by emigrants OF
their lands and hunting grounds. Lieu
tenant Lee distinguished himself In every
fight with the CCmanchcs. lie had some
close calls. Once while on a scouting
expedition he dismounted so that he
could better follow the trail Of an indian
who had taken 10 the brush. As Lee
passed along the bottom OF the ravine, the
Indian. who had concealed himself above
the young lieutenant, leaped upon Ices
back. For a moment the Indian had tn,
decided advantage of the young oihcer.
He attempted to draw his knife, but Lee
seized his right arm and prevented It's
use. Holding the warrior IN TINS way
40 was equally impossible for Lieutenant
Lee 10 draw his pistol. The Indian. a
famous war chief was larger and hedV-
Ter than Lee. who was getting the worst
o the tussle. His gymnastic training
saved his life. Suddenly releasing the
right hand hold. Lee struck the cliet
twice i'm the face. knocking him down.
Lee then settled the matter with Colt S

SILVER COUNTERFEITS.

II is said that two million counterfeit
silver dslars are now in circulation in
this country. and the surprise is that
the number is not larger. Whatever may
be said Of the merits or dement's of the
silver question, the fact is that enough
bullion TO make a full-weight silver dol
lar can now be purchased for less than
fifty cents. This gives the counterfeiter
a clean pront of at least hundred per
cent. Is 1t possible that the government
is TO have free coinage" in spite of it.
self?"
BY the way, there is an object lesson
here. II one Of these counterfeit silver
dollars be detected, it Is worth not dol
lar. but just what the silver bullion in it
win bring on the open market, which is
less. as we have said. than fifty cents.
But it would not be so with a counterfeit
gold dollar provided it contained the
same quantity Of bullion that is contained
in a genuine gold dollar. In that event.
the government might stamp the gold
coin as a counterfeit, but 1t would still
DO worth dollar, because its bullion
value. its intrinsic value is one dollar the
world over. That is the difference be-
tween silver and sold and it is so simple
that the wayfaring man nay understand.

To return 20 the physical aspect OF Ha-

upon the minds Of the thousands OF visl-

very few Of this class In this city, ana
we have no doubt that the Importance OF
the present opportunity for advertising

A BOOMERANG.

Tennessee has much the same election

disposed, use his power for controlling

reaction against the partisans who have
enacted laws for selfish sinister ends.
