Not What the Lawyers Wanted.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
Lawyers have some queer experiences"
said the Judge "One of them was telling
or case heard before me- A young man
had been arrested for larceny and he sent
for this lawyer.
The young fellow told the attorney that
he was innocent, but that he had no
friends in the city and no money. His
mother, however. was In fair circum-
stances and he knew that she would helm
him. What he wanted the lawyer to do
was to defend him and also send teIe-
gram TO his mother telling OF his fix and
asking for aid. The lawyer agreed to this
and made such a good defense that the
young man was acquitted.
He and the attorney went direct to the
telegraph Office to which the message had
been ordered sent and found 1t. The young
man was so grateful to the lawyer that he
handed him the unopened envelope. telling
him that he must take all the money that
his mother had telegraphed him. The
lawyer tore open the yellow cover and his
eyes were greeted with these words: Put
your trust in God. j am praying for you.

Relics of the Old Virginia.
rom the Norfolk Landmark

From the Norfolk Landmark
Three pieces of iron shea hing and one
gun from the famous confederate ironclad
Virginia lie on the Roanoke pier here to-
day, having been dug up off Lamberts
Point by mud machine. The old smooth
bore and sheatning, which is several inches
thick, are now the property of a junk
dealer. The mud machine which is en-
gagged in deepening the harbor scooped up
the relics, which are famous. The iron
sheathings, which, 1t was explained by a
marine man, covered the slanting sides of
the famous vessel, are about fifteen feet IN
length. The gun is about three feet in
length, and the water has apparently made
no impression on the weapon.

American Ice-Cream Habit.
From the London News.

From the L0hdon news.
When was in New York the extraordi-
nary amount of ice cream devoured by
Americans was proved to me by the large
area devoted In the department stores to
the sale of this popular refreshment. IT
guess we Americans have cast-iron fixings,"
said one of them when / expressed my as
constituent at the way In which even ell
Derby men and women took Ice cream at
social festivities. Certainly the ice cream
habit must have something to do with the
indigestion from which so many suffer in
the summer. At all the parties one att
tends in America ice cream Is an inevitable
item on the menu. and 1t Is consumed In
quantities which would delight London
caterer. who charges by the quart.

Relief Of Battleford.

Meanwhile Offers task of relieving Bat
tleford was. at the conclusion of march
from Swift Current to the North Saskatche-
wan. successfully accomplished Unfortu-
nately 1t was deemed necessary to send an
expedition against Poundmaker, although
the Indians who had been doing most dam
age In the neighborhood were not of his fol-
lowing. On the way to the reserve the
troops entered on May 2, deep ravine,
through which flows the Cut-Knife creek.
Crossing the stream. they began the ascent
of Cut-Knfe Hill, when suddenly the front
rank was met by a whitening rife fire from
the surrounding bushes. Great as was the
surprise, Offers men took to cover and re-
turned the fire like veterans. The position
was. however. untenable, and retreat was
the only course open. All the credit of the
engagement rested with Poundmaker, who
had defended his wigwams with the skill of
a general. and now permitted his enemies
to withdraw unmolested, when he might
have cut them to pieces
Exactly a week later began the three
days light at Batoche's Ferry, which prac-
tically closed the rebellion The North
cote, which had reached Clark's Crossing
was sent down the river to attack the
enemy in the rear. The steamers whistle
was the signal for general advance. Sud-
denly the rebels rising from the ground.
staggered the advancing column with q
deadly fire. The whole surface OF the land
had been furrowed with rife pits. It was
only the promptness and bravery OF How

Riel Hampers With the Indians.

''Of these, the Crees and Ojibiways were
regarded as friendly. but RieIs influence
with the more warlike Blackfeet was to be
feared, and with the latter he began to
tamper. Big Bear, who had but recently
signed a treaty with the government and
was settled in a reserve upon the North
Saskatchewan. became Riers agent among
the Indians Another chief. Poundmaker,
although he subjected one Canadian column
to defeat. afterward maintained that he
would have taken no part in the rising had
he not been first attacked.
ION March Is, Riel arrested the few
whites at Batoche. who were all loyal. and
organized a council of his own followers.
The conduc tot military affairs he intrust-
ed to Gabriel Dumont, brave and skillful
leader. The scene of the outbreak was the
angle between the north and south branches
of the Saskatchewan. The two streams, for
about one hundred miles, run almost
parallel On the north branch, about
thirty miles west of the Forks, was To-
