Shcas MatIe of iIool- Red Stone Msst
 EsteeInoA by Indians.
 Nearly every indian tribe has some Interesting legend connected with the blood-red stone of the Pipestone quar- ries of Minnesota. One tale is that long kgo two fierce ba1ds of NVinnebagoes and Sioux, the braYest of their respec- tive tribes, met in conflict here. They fought all day, from early morn unti< set of sun, until the chieftain of one band was slain. Some of the warriors escaped and some were made captives Among the eaptives was the chieftain's daughter. Being very brave and fair. she was chosen by one chief as his share of the spells. Refusing, how. ever, to become his bride she waa doomed to the stake. In dying she predicted that the Great Spirit would throw her blood upon the suns rays tc her people far away, and that the stone under her feet would be forever tinted with her blood. Catlin, the famed ex. plorer of Indian country, was the first white man to visit this locality. At tracted by the Indian tales he had heard in the sumner Of 1856, in con- pany with 2 young English gentleman and his trusty Indian guide, he started on horseback from 5t. AntAoGv's Falls 10 explore the region. It appears taa: the Indian tribes have long held the place in superstitious estimation, and also that it has been the resort of dlss ferent tribes, who have made their regular pilgrimage there to renew their pipes. It is also evident that these people set an extraordinary value On the red stone, independent of the fact that 1t is more easily carved and makes better pipes than any other stone. Whenever an Indian presents a pipe of It, he gives it as something from the Great Spirit, and some of the tribes have tradi ion that the red men were all created from the red stone and that 1t Is thereby a part of their flesh Such was the superstition of the Sioux on this subject that we had great diff tfeulty In approaching jt. being stopped by several hundred Of them, who or. dered us back and threatened IS very hard, saying that no white man had eyer seen 1t and that none should.

of postmaster for New Iberia, is on
in earnest. Congressman Brous-
sard has endorsed the appointment
of Mrs. Clara Durand, who also
has the endorsement of Capt. VIM
berly and Senators Foster and Nc
Emery. Chairman Clark, of the
Lilly White Republican Committee,
is championing the appointment of
Mr. Sam Wiel, the present assistant
postmaster. Congressman Brous-
sard was in Washington the past
week aud personally made known
his wishes to the powers that be.
Mrs. Durand's name has been pre-
sented to Chairman Clark for his
endorsement by the post office au-
.thorities, but the report is given
out that whether he approves or
not, Mrs. Durand will be named.
1t is probable, however, that a de-
