SWEEPING STREETS.
Present Occupation of Man Who
Once Was Dreaded All Along the
Western Frontier.

There is now sweeping streets in this
city a man who has had as stirring a
life as falls to the human lot, and who
in his way was formerly famous. Rich
ard f. Marcy is half-breed Indian, be-
ing the son of full-blooded Apache
squaw and a negro slave. He is the
father of % children, born of five wives,
and has discharges showing honorable
service in the United States army for
over 80 years. His scalp has been val
ped as high as $4,000, although he
3 aver possessed one-tenth of that sum;
nd to-day, at 60 years of age, he is as
clipper as a lad of p.
Marcy spent the first 16 years of his
life in an Indian camp. The life was
much too dull for boy of his fire, al
though the freedom was just what he
would wish. He enlisted in the army
as a scout, and in 1861 was transferred
with 100 other friendly Indians to the
eastern field of war But the life in
the white mans camp was hardly suit
ed to the free-and-easy warriors of the
plains; and the ways of the white mans
war were all too new to them. Marcy
and his comrades had come to scout,
primarily, although they were willing
to shoulder a gun if occasion required;
but they most emphatically had not
come to do the dirty work of a camp
A mutiny arose among them. Buffalo,
Bill Cody, then also a scout in the east
ern armies, laid the matter before the
president personally, stating that the
Indians, although loyal, were not ac-
customed to the discipline of the regu-
lar army. Lincoln saw all this at a
glance and sent the band of scouts to
serve in the west. Here they did good
work, Marcy so distinguished himself
that within ten years he was one of the
terrors of the western frontier When
Sitting Bull rose he disguised himself
in war paint and went to offer his serv-
ices to the famous chief. He so de-
ceived Sitting Bull that the greater part
of the latter's movements became
known to the whites. When the chief,
after his crushing defeat. took refuge
in Canada he remembered the manner
in which Marcy had hoaXed him with
such rage that he sent back to the ter
ritory offering $4,000 for the scalp of
the scout. But no one seemed anxious
to earn the reward. Marcy served on
until three years ago, when he took
his discharge to seek his fortune at
some other trade. He wandered to New
York. and seeing nothing else handy,
offered himself to Col. Warning as
street sweeper. He has been in the
service ever since and is apparently
satisfied. Three of his Il sons are in
the navy and one is in the army.-N. Y.

The New Capitol.

Despite the increased cost of some
materials the new state capitol can be
completed without expanding more
than the appropriated 50, 1000, 600. This
was definitely ascertalned at a recent
meeting of the capitol commission.
The board voted to sell S150,0O0 in
certificates of indebtedness in order to
raise funds to carry on the work of
constructing the new state house.
The board had on hand 5000 but
bills We're ordered paid which reduced
the funds on hand to S31, S37. With
the $4,000 to be raised the commits
sion will have enough money on hand
to carry on the work until October, or
possibly November. Cass Gilbert,
architect of the capitol, estimates that
the expense of construction will not
average less than $50, 900 per month
for the next few months. The certifi-
Gates are to bear a rate of interest not
to exceed 80 per cent, and will be is
sued under provisions of the new law.
Of the sum. $50 600 will mature in 1908
and the remaining $780, 900 in 1904.
There has been spent on the new
capitol for all purposes up to date the
sum of S454, 462.07. OF this sum $50, 900
is being withheld from the contractors.

HABITS OF ANIMALS.
elections of n ZOoIGgist Who Has
Made an Extensive study of
the Subject.

DR.. Louis Robinson, au English 20
ologist, has just given to the world an
account of Investigations as to the or
igin of the habits and mode of life of
certain animals, and the conclusion at
which he seems to arrive is that all
such phenomena may be explained on
the ground of atavism. Thus he claims
that the horse of our day derives his
swlftness and power of endurance from
the fact that his ancestors in former
days were obliged to flee from, and fire.
quently to defend themselves against,
their great enemies, the wolves. In like
manner he claims that the reason why
the horse SHES is because his ancestors
were forced to be constantly on the
alert against hidden enemies. and that
the reason why he rears and plunges is
because only by pursuing such tactics
could his forefathers shake off wild
animals who had leaped upon their
backs.
Sheep when frightened Immediately
rush off to the highest point they can
reach. The reason, says DIR. Robinson
is because all sheep originally inhabited
mountainous districts. And this, he
claims, is also the reason why they wear
a thick fleece of wool all the year
through, the summer temperature in
mountainous districts being almost as
cold as that of winter. Finally, we are
assured that the reason sheep invari-
ably follow leader is because their an
cestors were obliged to &C N Indian file
through the narrow mountainous
passes.
Pigs have also engaged DIR. Robin
sons attention. He was puzzled for a
good while as to the cause of their
grunting, but now he thinks he has
discovered the real reason. The pigs of
to-day, he says, evidently grunt because
their ancestors made their homes in
thick woods. and only by making this
sound could they keep track of each
other and guard themselves against
going astray from the common herd.
Commenting on this latter explanation,
scientist suggests that DR.. Robinson
might now do well to spend some time
in trying to find out why the horse
neighs and the dog barks.-N. Y. Her

MINNESOTA NEWS.
A Counterfeiter.

Albert L. Morey was arrested in Min
neapolis by United States Marshal VIM.
IL. Grlmshaw and Deputy S. j. Picha,
Oh charge OF counterfeiting.
Inc officers say that in March, 1896,
Morey was convicted of counterfeiting,
and was sentenced to two years in the

Morey told the officers that he man
ufactured most of the coin last winter,
