HIS "KINGSMAN."
The silk Eccl<crchief Worn by the
London COstermonger.

The silk Ecckcrchief Worn by the
London COstermonGer.
Speaking Of London costermongers,
Mayhem says: THE man who does
not wear his silk neckerchef-his
kingsman,' as it is called-is known to
be in desperate circumstances" The
neckerchief is more priced than any
other item of his attire ana coster's
caste is at stake if his kingsman be
not of the most approved pattern.
This habit is derived from the
gypsles and doubtless dates from
some long forgotten oriental custom.
1t is very curious that Il taste for
similar colors prevails among the
Hindoos, gypsies and costermongers,
Red and yellow are the favorite colors
and the oldest. OF these the coster
chooses his plush waistcoat and his
kingsman, the gypsy his breeches and
his wife her shawl and gown; the
Hindoo his robe and turban. If a
fight occurs, the favorte colored ar
ticle Of dress receives tie greatest
care. The pugillstlc coster ties his
kingsman round his waist or his leg,
where, by the rule Of the ring. it is
comparatively safe. - London Tele-

Patiently Wait For Her.

A Missouri contemporary rises to re-
mark: "Once was young, but now
am old, and l have never seen girl
that was unfaithful to her mother that
ever came to be worth one eyed but
ton to her husband. 1t is the law of
God. 1t isn't exactly in the Bible but
it is written large and awful in the
miserable lives of many unfit homes.
I'm speaking for the boys this time. If
one of you chaps comes across a girl
that, with a face full of roses, says to
you as she comes to the door, Il can't
go for thirty minutes, for the dishes
are not washed yet you wait for that
girl. You sit right down and wait
for her, because some other fellow
may come along and carry her off,
and right there you lose an angel.
Wait for that girl and sticl, TO her like
a bur to woolly dog."-Kansas City

Two Curious Knives.

When Sheffield first became famous
for its cutlery a peculiarly shaped
knife, designed for variety of uses,
was made with great care and sent to
the agent of the Cutters company in
London. On one of the blades was en-
graved the following challenge:
London. for thy life.
Show me such another knife.
fhe London cutters, to show that
they were equal to their Sheffield
brothers, made a knife with single
well tempered blade, the blade having
cavity containing rye straw two
and half inches in length, wholly sur
rounded by the steel; yet, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the blade was well
tempered, tue straw was not burned,
singed or charred in the least, 1t is

Curious BIRD Habits.

1t is well known fact that If the
young of almost any kind of bird are
taken from the nest before they can
fly the old ones will feed them atten-
lively if the cage in which the little
birds are inclosed is placed somewhere
where the parents can reach it, and a
popular but erroneous belief is current
that they do this for time. and end
by poisoning the young ones. This,
however, is a mistake, the fact being
that at a certain stage of young
birds existence, when it is naturally
able to begin catering for itself, the
parent birds, also quite naturally,
cease TO attend it, and then, if the
birdlings are shut Up in the cage and
their custodian has not thought Of
placing some food Mt their disposal
they necessarily die, not from poison
administered by the parents, but from
starvation,

FORTY YEARS AGO.
Excerpts Taken From St. Paul Papers Of
Forty Years Ago.

ne execution OF the TWO
indians Tab ta-chah-manne,
alias Medicine Bottle, and
Shakopee, alias Little Six, for
participation in the massacre
Of 1862, occurred yesterday at
Fort Smelling, and was wit
messed by a large concourse of
people. The day was one4of
the loveliest of our Indian
summer. the sun shining n
all his beauty, Many will say
that it was nothing less than
murder, as the offenders had
been driven to desperation
which prompted them to the
deed, by cruel treatment, but
the people of Minnesota, who
ought to know something of
the Indian character, will
breathe freer and easier when
they learn that these murder
ers of their friends and de-
spoilers of their homes are no
more.
Everybody appeared as gay
and joyful as if a common re-
view or some ordinary affair
was to take place. This is ow-
ing to the fact, perhaps, that
our people have come to look
upon these savage redmen as
but a grade higher above the
brute, and they feel but little
more of that natural horror at
witnessing the death of one of
them than they would from
beholding the scenes of a
slaughter pen. The war, too,
wi h its many scenes of death
and carnage, has had great
tendency to callous the feelings
of the people, and we can now
look upon a scene with com
parative Indifference which
five years ago would have
caused the blood to run cold in
our veins.
Father Ravoux was with
them early for the purpose of
performing the last religious
rites, as he did with the thirty
eight Indians that were exc
cuted at Mankato. This good
and holy man has labored with
these poor benighted creatures
for several weeks, teaching
them the doctrines and cere-
monies of the church. By his
indefatigable labors he has
taught them the Lords prayer
and other forms of prayer in
their own language.
Father Ravoux says that the
idea that they were Indifferent
to the prospect of death is a |
great deIusfon. They had a
power of concealing
their emotions, but their care
less and unconcerned manner
was only maintained by a
strong effort of the will-for
they dreaded to meet death as
much as anyone-and their
affected GOODNESS was the re-
suit of native pride and that
sort of bravery which calmly
faces the inevitable because it
would be shameful to show
signs of fear. As they were
taken into full connection in
the Catholic church tits highly
probable they made a full CON
fession, but what it was Father
Ravoux will probably never
tell.
Even when their elbows and
feet were bound securely with
cords and the moose was placed
over the heads of each and
drawn closely around the neck
there was no apparent move
ment of the muscle, both main
tanning that astonishing firm
ness exhibited from the first.

able scene. The rope and even
portions of the scaffolding was
literally cut into fragments.
| Some relic hunters even took
the hats worn by. the Indians.
They were buried at 6 p. ~. in
the military burying grounds.
The execution of the two In
dian chiefs is the second In
dian execution in this immedi-
ate vicinity, the other one hav-
ing occurred on Dec. 20, 1854.
The hanging eleven years ago
took place on the prairie to the
south of the ST. Anthony road,
neat the Catholic cemetery,
just beyond Selby's farm at 3
p. N. That it was attended by
the most disgraceful scenes
ever witnessed in our city the
following accounts, taken from
the ST. Paul Minnesotan Of
/ that date makes evident:
Total Depravity has been
rampant in ST. Paul for several
days to feast his eyes upon
the death struggles of hui
man being. The Indian, who
was convicted more than two
years since of numbering a
white woman near Shakopee,
had been confined since then
in a miserable pig sly, distin-
guished with the name of the
Ramsey county Jail. Why he
was not compelled to suffer the
penalty long ago is a question
that must be answered at the
bar of judgment by those who
interferred to prevent it; but
this we know and say that an
act of barbarous cruelty more
inhuman than keeping the
poor creature in that 1oath-
some pen more than a year
after the proper period for his
execution cannot be found in
the annals of any heather ma
ton that ever gloated over the
sufferings of a captive enemy.
Total Depravity was out
early yesterday morning to
witness the death struggles of
the poor victim of outraged
LAWN fact, Total Depravity
appeared not to have gone to
bed at all Thursday night, for
the slumber of peaceful citi-
zens was frequently disturbed
by the firing of guns and pis-
tolls about the JAIL Total De-
pravity, perhaps, fearing that
the blood of the victim might
yet be prevented from flowing;
and if a bullet should per-
chance penetrate the fragile
wall of his prison and end his
woes, a surety to Total Deprav-
ity's heart cherished desire
would thus be guaranteed.
when 9 o'clock arrived it
was evident that our sheriff
was a strong friend of Total
Depravity, for he was prepar-
ing to erect the scaffold on one
of the most public places in
the city of ST. Paul, and the
mob applauded the sheriff in
his act, and cheered loudly on
learning that the statute did
not forbid public hanging. The
sheriff appeared Invested Of
the mercy of the Jewish rabble
who cried out, Cruelty Him.
but were still restrained by
their better feelings of respect
for themselves and for Jerusa-

done outside of the city's walls.
Well judging public opinion,
however, compelled the repre-
sentatives of Total Derravity,
the sheriff, to take down the

A Visit to The Point.

"A HERALD reporter spent Sun
day at Point Isabel, meeting sew
dral prominent residents of that
place, among the number being
Jno. R. Box, who is engaged in
farming and truck raising. From
him it was learned every thing was
progressing favorably in his sec
ton.
Chas. Champion, the Point mer-
chant, has recently erected 3-ton-
ice plant, s miles from the Point
and informed the reporter he would
begin making ice this week, and
could furnish ice next Sunday,
which will be much appreciated.
Mr.. Champion says business is a
little slow, although he hopes for
an increase a little later.
We also met John Champion,
one of the customs officers who has
been recently transferred from the
Point to Brownsville, and he tells
us that he was quite homesick for
a few days, but is gradually be-
coming accustomed to living away
from the delightful seabreezes that
fan the brow and make life worth
living.
We also shook hands with w.
H. Crosby, who is experimenting
the dredge work. From him it was
learned the work is going forward
splendidly, with prospects for its
early completion if no unforeseen
difficulties arise.
Capt. Haugland, of the life saw
ing station, also gave us a hearty
handshake, and invited us to walk
out to the station, which we de
clined with regret, on account of
lack of faith in our ability to stay
on top of the water. The captain,
however, promised to carry US
over in his trim little boat Aid
some time in the future, and we
hope to later accept his hospitality
The climax of enjoyment was
reached when the reporter and
party sat down to one of Floren-
tino's fish and oyster dinners, and
we are sorry our power to describe
it is not as vivid as was our appe-
tite.

along the line sometime. Mr.. Johns
ton says the grading from Sinton to
Bay City has been about cornplet-
ed, only couple of miles in the
center being unfinished. Track
laying has been commenced at
Sinton, about miles of steel hay
ing been put down. Mr.. Johnston
says IS miles of track will be laid
from the Sinton end, and then the
outfits will be moved to Bay City
and track be laid toward Sinton.
The reporter asked Mr. Johnston
as to the probability of contracts
being let for building east of Bay
City and was informed that some
thing would probably be done IN
the matter within the next ten
days. Railroads in general are a
little slow in building at present on
account of the legislature attitude
of the tax question The party will
leave tomorrow.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. D. Autry, of
Rockport, arrived in the city Sat
urday for a short visit to Mr.. and
Mrs. E. w. Dickey. They spent
Sunday at the Point, regaling
themselves with one of Florentino s
famous fish dinners. Mr.. Autry is
editor of the Rockport Enterprise,
and came down with his ideas of
Brownsville and vicinity a little
bit warped by Misrepresentation
that had been made to him, but

gentleman has considerably mod

view of this region and is willing
to admit that we have pretty fair
country after all. They will return
home tomorrow.

home after a short prospecting
trip here. Mr.. Toups is an old

try, and may become a citizen.
THE HERALD extends himself and
family a hearty welcome in adj
vance.
