The INDIAN Grip on the Cent.

Frun the New York Tines
In Philadelphia lived a child, five or
six years Of age. by the name OF Sarah
Longacre, whose father was a fine en-
graver. and held official relations IN the
government, and was employed at the
mint. A delegation OF Indians came from
the far Northwest TO pay q visit 10 wash
ington and call upon the President
Thence they proceeded TO Philadelphia,
and were invited TO the home Of Mr..
Longacre. One Of the chiefs was at
tracted 20 little Sarah, and in sport
took or his headdress and placed II on
her head, and she stood before the COM
pany in this peculiar garb. Some one
OF the company sketched her on the spot,
and handed the product of his artistic
skill to the father. The engraved sketch
went into competition for the honor OF
a place on the cent, Just being coined,
and Uncle Sam accepted the face OF the
American girl with the Indian bonnet

ARMY LETTERS FROM AN OFFICERS WIFE

BY Frances NJ. A. Roe. New York and Lon
don; d. Appleton s. Co.
Army Letters From an Ofhcer's
Wife," by Frances NJ. A. Roe. is an in
teresting series OF experiences on the
frontier during the period running from
1S71 TO 1883. the writer being the wife Of
an army officer, who accompanied him
in his migrations from one army post
20 another during that eventful run Of
years so important in the upbuilding of
the great West. just before the potent
advent of the railroad, and the final dis
appearances of the buffalo, when game
was abundant and the Indians restless.
The truth Of these stories is psychology
cally demonstrated by the manner Of the
telling, and again Is established the truth
Of the adage that truth is stranger than
fiction. The annals will take rank with
tr--e Of Mrs. Gen. Custer and others in
den ting a period and phase Of American
~ ny life which has disappeared. The
network OF railroads spreading over the
Western country has done away with
those eventful Journies by mule ambu-
lance; the obliteration of the buffalo and
the Incarceration in reservations Of the
Indians have dispensed with the princI-
pal causes Of excitement, and the easy
Obtainment Of Injuries from the East has
placed the life Of the army people in the
West upon the same footing as that Of
their confreres In the East, while the
whole juxtaposltion of affairs has per-
haps extinguished considerable of the lro-
nance formerly connected with the call
