cics of Wolf Point and Poplar Crook.
There are twoiity-fivo native Indians who
are employed as notice , besides two com
panion of the Eleventh infantry under
command of Capt. O. 13. lload. Sixty-
five miles southeast of Poplar river is the
largo military post of Fort Buford , gar
risoned by two troops of the Seventh
cavalry , two companies of the Eleventh
: nfantry , two companies of the Fifteenth
nfanlry , and n few Indian scouts in the
orvico of the government , all under
lominand of Col. J. N. 0. Whistler , of
Mexican war fame. Fort Buford is on
ho Missouri river , exactly on the divid-
ng line that marks the boundary between
Montana and Dakota.
South of Fort Peck , on the banks of
the Yellowstone , about 105 miles from its
mouth , stands Fort Keogh , ono of the
largest and most Important military sta
tions in the department of Dakota. II
has eight companies of the Fifth infantry
and ono troop of the Second cavalry ,
commanded by CM. J , D. Wilkins. lligl
up in the northwest on Milk river , an im
portant tributary of the Missouri , rests
Fort Assinaboino , close to the British
border lino. Tliero are eight companies
of the Eighteenth infantry , two troops o
the Seoond cavalry , and a largo body o
Indian scouts located at this fort , and the
commanding oflicor is Lieut. Col. J. J
Coppinger , uon-in-law of lion. James ( !
Blainc. From all of which you will BOO
that the Fort Peck Indians are plentiful
ly surrounded on all sides , and could no
escape if they wanted to. The above
military force is deemed stillicicntly powerful
orful to hold the native red icon in choc !
and compel them peaceably to

The Indian village , however , is n largo

up nnd down the banks of llcdwato

great villngo contained a few weeks ago
between five and six thousand curs and i

I merely cite the above as an instance
f the bitter fooling which prevails among
ho agency Indians at Fort Pock , and
with the hope that it may arouse the an-
horities at Washington to do something

IB modestly ns an inexperienced school

irl.Mrs.
Mrs. Leslie was seated In her haiidaomo
apartments in the Victoria hotel , and
ho nmnly-looking foreigner nt her side
ivas the Marquis do Louvillo , the gentle-
nau who had had the good fortune to
win her heart and the promise of her
innd.
It waa nearly thrco years ago that Mrs *
jeslio and the marquis first mot , and the
nannor of their mooting and subsequent
jothrothal is as interesting as it is roman-
, ic. The Marquis do Louvillo had como
.o this country to enlarge the scope of his
itorary and scientific studios. Ono day
while in the city ho started out to call
upon a friend. As ho was about to as
com ! the stoop at his friend's house a
carriage daahed up to the aamo house.
"Tho door ( low open and the prettiest
ittlo foot 1 had ever soon in my life was
: > laced daintily on the carriage-stop , and
; ho next instant the moat charming little
uoing eyes over rested on sprang out ull
done up in crape , " said the marquis in
describing thu mooting to a friend. "Wo
both stood on the stops n moment before
the door was opened , " ho continued ,
"and 1 caught a glimpse of two beautiful
oycB almost hidden by a bine crape veil.
Wo wont into the parlor. 1 was so in
fatuated at the first sight that I walked
up and down the room with the utmost
impatience until our mutual friend came
lown and introduced us. 1 really don't
know whether it waa that dainty little
foot or the largo dreamy eyes that first
captivated mo. "
After their introduction the marquis
paid the most devoted attention to Mrs.
Loalio , but she waa so deeply immersed
in the carca of business at that tune , and
so earnestly ungagod in extricating the
enormous business that had been left to
her charge from an almost hopeless tangle -
glo , that she had little time to think of
matrimony.
Ono evening a theater party was enjoying -
ing a play at an up-town theater , and
among them were Mrs. Lcslio and the
Marquis do Louvillo. Mrs. Leslie , being
in the deepest mourning , preferred to sit
in the back part of the box. and the mar
quis , as usual , occupied a seat clout ) at
her oido. When they got up to go Mrs.
Loalio drew off her ulovo and in doing HO
drew her wedding-ring ou" with it wml it
fell to the Moor. A hunt waa immediately
begun for it , but the marquis , slipping
gallantly up to the anxious little lady ,
while the others were busily hunting ,
slipped his family created ring from hia
linger and gently put it on in the pluco of
the missing circle , and , leaning over ,
softly whinnered to her to wear that as a
wedding-ring in the place of the ono aho
had lost.
Mrs. Leslie , however , would not at
that time entertain the idea of matri
mony until she had vindicated her late
husband's honor by placing his enormous
business upon a financial footing. Over
a year ago aho achieved this victory , and
her success lias placed her to-day among
the wealthiest ua well as the best known
business ladies of the world.
About a year ago Mrs. Lcslio was lying
almost at the point of death , and the
chivalrous marquis , on hearing of it has
tened to her bedaido , and by every
little attention conceivable endeavored
to soothe her bed of sick-
ness. Still , the little lady's
heart was not altogether won , and it was
only when the Marmils do Louvillo came
to this country for n third time two weeks
ago and pressed anew hia unit that she
family consented to become his wifo.
Mrs , Frank Leslie is ono of the moat
remarkable women living. She possesses
fur more business sagacity and astuteness
than moat men , and at < ho saino time she
combines with it the delicate refinement
which the highest culture alone can give.
Her literary attainments alone would
have won for her an enviable reputation
had she not become renowned for her
business ability. In personal appearance
she is a moat charming little lady , lieau-
tifulbliio-groy oyuspeopout from between

Her long , slender , aristocratic-looking
hand is of the kind artiste rave over , while

well excite the envy of school girls yet in
their toons.
When Mr. Frank Leslie wai about to
die he called Mm. Frank Leslie to hia
bedsidu and said t < > her : "Go to my

SAN ANTONIO , TEX. , March 18. First
ho Alamo , next the $7,000 sot of furni-
uro , is the order in which the San Anto-
ijan classifies the eights to bo shown the
isitor. The ganlci wall , which formed
ho outer fortifications where Davy
Jrorkott and his MO companions hold at
; ay a Mexican army of 10,000 , is gone ,
aftd the Alamo plaza extends to the doors
other ancients buildings. The nunnery
portion has boon transformed into a
wholesale grocery , and the firm sign is
spread across the front of tlm old walls.
An imitation of a mansard has been
added to the two stories of the convent ,
and above the rock at each end rises a
lurrct pieced with wooden guns , the
uodern tribute to the structure's famous
listory. Ono can hardly go amiss on a
guide for t' o battle cry of the second
Mexican war. "Homember the Alamo"
echoes in the San Antonmn'tt memory ,
and the details of the massacre are as
fresh in hia mind as are these of the kill
ing of Ben Thompson and King Fisher
in the Vaudeville thcatro last week. A
little back , but joining on the end of
; ho convent , stands the massive building
in which Crockett and his reduced band
retired and nmdu their last tight. The
door stands wide open and the Moor is
covered with fragments of evergreen
wrcathn and trimmings. A church festi
val was the last uao to which the Almo
wai put and thu lumber for the tables
ins not been removed. Your guide will
Uko you into the dungeon just to the left
of the main entrance and show you the
coil surrounded by solid ntono walls six
tcet thick. This wai the crematory in
which the Mexicans found aweot revenge
n roasting the bodies of the men who
md fought them off so long.
wiir.mUOCKKTT : mii : .
Tlion you go up to the second story
and into a little room twelve foot square
with ono door and ono window , the same
thick walla. It was thruugh this window
Lhat the Texans pointed their field niece
and with their few remaining charges
mowed swaths through the Mexican
ranks. Then when the last grain of
powder was burned they took their posi
tions where they ? ould work with their
long knives to the best advantage , and as
the besiegers pressed in the foremost
dropped in their tracks before the thrusts
of the defenders. "Hero in this corner , "
said Mr. C. J. Downes , a former St.
Louisan , who took the Globe-Democrat
correspondent under his guidance , "when
the last shots were fired from the win
dow , Crockett took up his position with
liis knifo. You see ho was sheltered
from the window and faced the door. Llo
killed seventeen Mexicans and their
jodiea lay piled up on this floor in front
of him. Then they pinned him to the
wall with a long spear and ho had
nicked that half through with his knife
before they gave him his death wounds. "
In the rear of this old chapel is shown
bho court-yard where the single male sur
vivor of the Alamo garrison mingled with
the attacking forces and escaped to toll
the story of that awful day , and then a
room is shown where , under a green hide ,
a woman concealed herself and her babe ,
when the Mexican soldiers made their
first wild search intent on slaughtering
every human being regardless of ago and
BOX. Ilor hiding place was not discovered
until the tliirst for blood was somewhat
abated , and then the interference of an
ollicor saved her.
A uicirc : von VANDALISM.
Everywhere the evidences of the usual
weakness of the American tourist abound
on walls and ceiling , within ordinary
reach and at elevations which could have
been attained only l > y boosting and climb
ing. It is n matter for congratulation
for the few who come hero and jjo away
without an inclination to wield their
poncilo on the historic walls to know that
at regular intorvala the authorities of
San Antonio apply a heavy coat of
whitewash , obliterate the autographs of
the last crop of John Smiths , and prepare
pare a fresh purf.ico for the next run of
visitors.
Years after Texas had attained her in
dependence , and had annexed herself to
the United States , the slogan was raited
in her legislature ono winter , only slight
ly changed , so "Remember the child ol
the Alamo. " It was proposed to take
the little one , who had been saved by her
mother's shrewdness , make her the ward
of the state , send her to Europe , and give
her the best education the continent could
afford. The idea was enthuastically sup
ported ; nothing w.xs needed to carry out
the scheme but to find the child , almost
woman grown , and to formally adopt her
as the daughter of Texas. Alas , tor tin- -
romance ! "Tho child of the Alamo" was
soon discovered but where ? She had
developed into a beautiful woman , but
with what a record ! At eight she was an
incorrigible waif on the streets. At
eleven she had become vicious in all that
it implies with the feminine character. At
fourteen she had gone thoroughly to the
bad , and hud taken up her abode in an
udj..o palace of sin. The amendment to
"Homombor the child of the Alamo" was
tabled and forgotten. The "child" benefited
fited by the notoriety , but led only a short
wild lit'o. A few months ago the mother
died also.
THAT lll'.D UOOU .SKI' .
For that sot of furniture which carried
off the honors at the Centennial oxposl
tiot. , and which , with its magnificent
moldinps , its niches for bronzes and it *
great slabs of marblewill bo remembered
by people everywhere who admired it al
Philadelphia , ono must needs go where
the history of "tho child of thu Alamo"
leads. Thu exhibitor at the Centennial
found nn elephant on his hands when the
ahow was over. lie divided the actual
cost by two and transferred the four tons
of bedroom magnificence to a Sun Ante
ninn , the consideration being ono of the
halves. The buyer brought his trophy
down here and made the cowmen start
until ho tired of having HO much capital
tied up in a bedstead , a bureau and
wajhstand. Then ho cut his investment
in two , and one-half represents the thou
sands that a wealthy woman paid to be
able to gay a room in her house contain ;
the costliest furniture over manufactured
in the United States.
The progress and demands of to-day
crowd hard on the historical associations
of San Antonio. "Furnished rooms to
rent" is nailed up on the trtio at the door
of the buildinu' which served Gen. Jackson -
son for headquarters , while a commission
merchant has establishsd himRolf on the
ftojtilniiii ! corner. Governor Yeramondi'a
palace is devoted to the uses of "import-
ed wine * and liquors. " A portion of the
Alamo in which the defenders died is a ,
> olico station.
AN ACCOM01IATINO lUVKH.
The San Antonio river , which so ac
commodated itself in its ineant'cringx as
; o carry its swiftly flowing greenish
stream past every back yard in old San
Antonio , no longer suffices for the city's
sanitary purposes , and an olaporato sewer
system is about to bo submitted to voters
'or their consideration. From the curv
ing character of the streets and the divis
ion of the blocks it seems possible to
draw but ono conclusion in regard to the
plan on which the city was originally laid
3ut , and that is that the pioneers in
tended every resident should have a bit
of river at his back gate. To this day
many San Antonians maintain and use
their canvas bath houses on platforms
over the river just behind their houses.
Thither repair the domestics on Monday ,
and in the open air at the bank of the
stream the washing of hundreds of fami
lies is in progress. An accommodating
river is the San Antonio , with its steadily
( lowing volume of water keeping its place ,
leaving its banks as they have been for
fifty years , and seldom ri ing to n height
to cause any trouble. Indeed , the change
from day to day and month is inappre
ciable. _ Two miles from the city the
whole river como in full volume and in
pristine purity from the crrth. It reaches
San Antonio before it baa received any
surface drainage to opoak of.
Southwestern Toxai is health-giving ,
llero is lease of life and enjoyment with
it awaiting the hollow-chested and thin-
blooded upon whom the curse ot a moro
rigorous climate ban not gained to strong
a hold. But those who como to mnko
their homes in this part of the state ,
whether it bo to farm or raise stock , must
expect to buy out some ono who has preceded -
coded thorn. It is not n country waiting
for pioneers , and nothing could bo further
from the truth than the impression which
many northern people have that there is
plenty of undeveloped and unoccupied
land hero.

For years pait I have used AI.U-OCK'S
Pouous PLASTdts on my person and in
my family , and have found them perfect
us nn external remedy , quick in their ac
tion , giving Immediate relief , without
blistering the skin , and far superior to
.ill others. No family should bo without
AU.COCK'S Pouous PLASTKKS ; their heal
ing powers are wonderful , and their of-
licacy far-reaching and lasting. When in
Washington last winter I was induced to
try another much advertised plaster for
severe pain in the back. No relief from
the pain , but a sere and blistered back
for a week was the result. So soon as
the blisters healed I applied two of ALL-
COOK'S Pouous PLASTEIIH , and they gave
mo immediate and permanent relief.

Special D'.epat-'h to the Globe-Democrat
COLUMBIA , S. G.March 21. A remark
able discovery has been made in Chester
county. For a length of a time a rumb
ling sound has proceeded from the plan
tation of Nicholas Calvin , and two days
ago the location from which the noise
emanated was found. From an opening
in the ground suioko was seen ixsuing in
considerable volume , and for quite a sur
rounding distance the heat is great. The
negroes of the neighborhood are in a state
of wild excitement , and firmly believe the
day of judgment is near at hand. The
white inhabitants are also unable to ac
count for the phenomenon. A party of
diggers worked with pick and spade to
ascertain the cause of the incipient vol
cauo , but wcro forced to desiat in consequence
quence of the intensity of the heat and
the volume of smoke. Many residents
believe it to be an actual volcano , and
othcis assert it to bo a geyser judging
from the vapors and the surrounding
moisture. Tina singular freak of the earth
has caused great excitement and consid
erable alarm.

Cultivation ,
Most farmers have a few horseradish
root3 | { rowii ) ' { in the grass , ono of which
they dig and grate when they want a
condiment to use on meat in the npiiiiR.
They are not aware how the roota ar
improved by cultivation. A correspond
ent of The Country Gentleman writ OF
about its culture as follows : This crop is
ono of the most important raised by the
market-gardeners living near the hrgo
cities and villages , and with them it IB
generally grown as a second crop , suc
ceeding eaily cabbages , cauliflower , or
boots. There Is hardly anything raised
that pays bolter when succeefully cultiv
ated. The soil should bo heavily man
ured , deeply plowed , and made line by
repeated harrowings. The land is then
marked in rows two feet apart , if carl )
cabbage is to bo the firnt crop. The
cabbage should all bo planted before
commencing to put in the horseradish ,
which is done by taking a light crowbar ,
and making holes six or eight inches deep
in the middle of the rows between the
cabbages , 18 or 20 inches apart. Into
these holoi the seta are dropped so as to
hnvo the tops two or three inches under
the surface ; the earth is then pressed
against the set so as to fill the hole. The
reason why the sots are put so fur under
thu surface , is to delay the coming up of
tliu radish until the crop of cabbages has
been taken off , or the cultivation of them
has ceased. If the eets should start to
grow and interfere with the cabbages , the
tops may bo cut off twicn with thu hoe.
This does not injuru it at all , as it darts
up ogain freely. .After thu cabbages ha
been harvested , ono good hoeing will
generally aufiico. E. rly in thu spring the
roots can bo dug ( or left in the can until
spring ) by first pbwing deeply as near to
rows as possible , then uaim ; a spading-
fork to free them from the soil. It in
prepared for nalo by cutting * -fftho green
tops and email rootlets and washing the
roots clean , when it can bo marked , or
put into pits and kept over tie winter
like other roots.
