GENERAL MAURY'S SPEECH
General Maury, after giving witty
illustration OF his inability TO make an
extemporaneous speech, said:
"Your kindness in asking me to tell
you about the North American Indians
embarrasses me, for it is founded upon
the belief that l know a great deal
about those Indians. whereas, the fact is,
that / know only what is bad in them,
and IL will be unfair to such unfortu-
nate people TO tell only what is bad IN
their nature. l share the sentiments OF
all men of the United States army whose
official life has been passed IN dealing
with these, our natural enemies. For 5OJ
years we have known them only as male
factors OF the most vengeful and cruel
nature. we have taken from them their
country. destroyed their homes, and hunt
ed them down as beasts Of prey. After
generations of our people have been born
and lived and died in this antagonism,
Il is no wonder that the brutal senti-
ment of one Of the most ruthless OF
American commanders has found express
sion in the aphorism: There is no good
Indian but a dead Indian

Big Forest Fire I'm Henrico.

A rather disastrous fire ragged for awhile
in the woods OF Henrico Friday, and for
time threatened the destruction OF
much valuable property. The flames origi-
mated about noon in the home of Susan
Williams. situated on the Charles City
road near Fort Lee, and, destroying that,
communicated to the woods and UNDER
brush. and threatened the destruction of
the places OF Messrs. Britton, Cassidy,
and Lisby. The farmers turned out in
body, and. after a hard fight, succeeded
in subduing the flames.
