A BEAUTIFUL WYOMING LEGEND ,

Crazy Woman's l
, Nob. , June 10 , 1880.
[ Correspondence of the HKR. ] When wo
JnU parted \\llh the reader wo were
oamped on the Hig Beard river , or Craay
Woman's fork of 1'owdor river , and pro
mised we would relate the legend of how
the valley ami stream received their
Btrangc nntno.
It was n bo.-tuUful stream , broad , rollIng -
Ing and shaded by cottonwood trees. On
the bank In a clump of those , completely
shutting out the hot rays of the sun , stood
our camp. The valley along the river
win wide and fertile and flocks at prairie
liens nnd ducks rose from the long grass
nnd flow nwny In all directions. Dedr ,
nntclopo nnd elk bounded over the hills ,
nnd far in the distance could bo seen n
drove of what we took to bo wild horses ,
I ooitld not help wondbi ing how soon this
wild scene would bo changed , and the
smoke of the white ( nan's cabin ascend
nil along the rich valley. Alrcidy I saw ,
in imagination , grain growl .ig on the
elopes , farm houses nestling among the
trees , n vilhigu in the great bend of the
great stream , and I thought I could hear
the tinkling of cow-bulls , the laugh of lit
tle children at pliy and the solemn toll
ing of church-bolls.
La Frombo had told Bcldon the legend
of the Crazy Woman and Uuldon told it
to mo. I shall relate it just as I hoard it ,
neither vouching for its truth nor deny
ing its probability. The alory is quite
probable and not more strange than
many other legends told of the mess.
Tin : J.EGINI : > OF CKAKY WOMAN.
"Many yours ago. " said La Krombo to
IJoldi'ii , "I visited this snot with a band
of Crows , and one evening a venerable
Indian told us this legend of Crazy
Woman. Terrs ago , " ho said , 'when my
father was n little boy. there came among
us n man who was half whlto. He said
ho wished to trade with our people for
bufl'ulo robes , beaver , elk nnd door skins ,
and that he would iTivo us much paint ,
nnd many blankets nnd pieces of cloth in
exchange for furs. Wo liked him and be
lieved him very good , for ho was rich.
having many thousands of beads and
hundreds of yards of ribbons. Our vil
lage was then built on the river , about
twenty miles above where wq are now.
nnd game was plentiful. This river did
not nt that time have the name of Crazy
Woman , but was called Big Heard , be
cause n curious grass grows along its
banks that has a big board. What 1 am
about to relate caused the name of the
river to bo changed.
"Tho trader built a lodge of wood nnd
stones , nHd near it a great , stivrng house ,
in which ho kept nil his immense ! wealth.
It was not long until ho had bought all
the robes and furs for sale in the village ,
mid then ho packed them on ponies and ,
bidding us good-bye , said ho was going
far to the cast , where the paleface lives ,
but that ho would soon como back , bring
us man } ' presents , andplentyof blankets ,
beads and ribbons , which ho would ex
change as before for robua and furs. Wo
were sorry to see him go , but , as ho prom
ised to return in n few moons , wo
% vero much consoled. It was
not long until .our spies reported
something they could not understand
coming into our country , and the whole
village was in a great state of alarm.
Some of the boldest ventured out and re
turned with the joyful intelligence that
the strange objects our young men had
scon wore the trader and his people. All
the village ran to meet him , nnd the
sight was strange enough , indeed. The
Crows in these days had never soon a
wagon horse or ox , nnd the trader had
brought nil. these things. The wagons
they called teepees on rollers ; the horses
were giants beside the little ponies , and
the oxen all believed were tame DuU'alo.
There also was a squaw , who was per
fectly whlto. and who could not under-
fltnnil anything that was said to hor.
She wore dresses down to her feet , of
which she seemed to be ashamed , and
' our women said she tied cords tightly
about her waist , so as to make it small.
She had very longhair , and did notnlait ,
but rolled it , and , instead of letting it
hang dovfn , wrapped It tightly about nor
head.
"It was not long until the trader had
nil his wagons unloaded , and his store
open. Ho had brought all the women
beads anil ribbons , nnd the men brass
rings. Hosidesvhut he. sold , lionuulu mniiy
presents ; so everybody loved him , for no
ono had over before scon so rich and
generous a man.
"Ono day , ho told the big chief to como
Into the back part of the store and ho
would show him something wonderful.
The chief wont , wondering what it could
bo , and when they were alone , the trader
drew out a very Ifttlo barrel , and taking
n , wooden cup , poured out some black-
looking water , which ho told the chief to
drink. The chief did as desired , and im
mediately felt so jelly ho asked for more.
The trader promised , if ho would never'
toll any ono whore ho got the black ,
water , ho would give him all he wanted.
The chief promised , nnd the trader gave
him another cupful. Now the chief
danced and sang , nnd went to his lodgo.
where ho foil down in a deep sleep , and
no ono could wake him , Ho slept so
long , the warriors gathered about the
ledge wondering whatooutd ail him , nnd
they were about to go to the trader and
demand to know what kind of medicine
ho had given the chief to make him behave -
have bu > strangely , when the chief woke
up and ordered them nil to their lodges ,
nnd to ask no questions ,
"Next day the chief wont to the
trader , nnd said ho had had great
dreams ; that * ho thought ho had slain
many ot his enemies , and that the black
medicine must IH very good to make him
have such pleasant visions , Ho begged
the trader to give him some more , and ho
did .so. Thus the chief did everyday ,
and all the village wondered , for they
believed the trader had bewitched him.
In former times the chief had been n
qulot and very digniliod man , but now
ho sang , danced in the street , and pub
licly hugged the women , so every ono
thought him crazy. The Crows disliked
the conduct of the chief very much , and
began to grumble ngainst the trailer , for
they thought he was to blame for the
great change that had como over their
chief. Some said ho was bewitched ,
others that the trader had an evil spirit
in one of his boxes , and thus they talked ,
some boliovinir ono thing nnd some
another , but all blaming him. One of
the young warriors called a secret coun
cil , and the matter was discussed , and it
was finally decided that the trader must
Jcavo or they would put him to death. A
warrior , who wns a great friend of the
trader , was scut to toll him of the de
cision of the council , and when ho did so
thn trader lauijlied , and said if ho would
como into the back of the store , and
never toll anybody , ho would show
him what ailed the chiof. The warrior
went , and the trader gave him a ladle
full of the black water. Presently lie be
gun to sing and dance about , nnd then
t < n went tAit into the street and sang , which
greatly surprised every ono , for ho'had
never done so boforo. The young men .
gathered about him , and aakou him what
ftiled him , but ho only fluid , 'Oh , go to
the trader nnd get some of the black
water ! ' So they went to the tnxdor and
Inquired what kind of black water ho
had that nfloctcd people so strangely ;
nnd the trader told them ho had only the
same kind of water they drank , and
brought out his pnil that nil might drink.
Kach wntiior took up the ladle and
drank the same , nnd mndo Iho trader
drink the same , and then they snt down
to wail and see If it would nfl'ect them
like the chief and their brother warrior ;
but it did not and they rose un and said ,
The trader or our brother lies , and wo
will sec who la Iho liar.1 They went to
the warrior's ledge and found him. sound
niluop , nor could they wako him , and the
others went to their teepees. When the
sun was up the warrior rose , and. seeing
the others sitting in his tent , said ,
'Why nro you here , my broth
ers ? ' And Iho oldest , of the
two warriors replied , Toil have Hod to
us , for the trader hns no bladk water.1
The warrior recollecting hi * promise hot
to tell , said ! 'It Irt true that the trader
has no black water , nnd who said ho
had1 They explained to him his con-
duet of the day before , nt which he was
greatly astonished , and ho declared if
such was the case he must have been very
sick in his luiad nnd not known what ho
had said. Thereupon the warriors with
drew nnd reported all to their brethren.
The warriors were gronlly perplexed ,
and know not what to do or think , but
decided to wnlt nnd see.
"The chief nnd warrior were now drunk
every day , nnd the young chief called
another council , It was long nnd stormy
in its debate , nil the Wise men speaking ,
but no oilo giving such counsel as the
others wotllu nccopt. At last a young
warrior rose and said that ho had
watched and that it was true the trader
had a black .water which ho gave the
chief nnd tno warrior to drink , for he
had made n hole in the wall of the
trader's store , and through it saw them
drinking the black water. Hoadvijcd
them to bring the trader and warrior
together before them , and ho would ac
cuse them to their face of what ho had
scon , nnd if they denied the truth , ho
would fight them.
"This speech was received with great
.satisfaction , and the young chief at once
sent some warriors to fetoh the trader
and their brother.
"When they were como into the council
and seated , the young warrior repeated
all ho had said , and asked if it were not
true that they would light him. The
warrior who wns ( Irst asked rose up and
said the young warrior lied , and that ho
was ready to light him ; but when the
trader was told to stand up anil answer ,
ho , seeing there was no use in denying
the mnttor , confessed nil.
"Ho said the black water was given him
by the white people , a great many of
whom drank it , ami It made them behave
as they had scon the chief and warrior
do. Ho also told them that after n man
drank of it ho felt happy , laughed and
sang , nnd when ho laid down ho dreamed
pleasant dreams and slow his enemies.
"Tho curiosity of the warriors was
greatly excited , nnd the young chief bade
the trader go and bring some of the black
water , that they might taste it. Ho was
about to depart , when the young war
rior , who had before spoken , rose and
.desired . him to be seated , when ho said :
" 'The warriors hoard my speech and it
was good. The brother however , when I
asked him if ho would tell the council the
truth , said I lied , and ho would fight mo.
Let us now go out of the village and
fight. '
'Tho'young chief asked the drunkard if
ho had.anythimr to say , when ho arose
and addressed the council as follows :
" 'Ohmy brethren.it is true that I have
drank of the black water , and that I have
lied. When the trader first gave it to mete
to drink , ho made mo promise I would
never tell what it was or where I got it ,
and ho has many times since said if I told
any ono ho would never give mo any
more to drink. Oh , my brethren , the
black water is moat wonderful , and I
have come to love it better than my lifo
or the truth. The fear of never having
any more of it to drink made mo lie , and
1 have nothing moro to say but that I am
ready to light. '
TUB I'IGIIT OF THE TWO WARRIORS.
"Then the council adjournedand everyone
ono went out to see the warriors fight.
They were both men of great skill and
bravery , nnd the whole village came to
see the battle. He who had drnnk the
black water was the best spcarsrnnn iu
the tribe , and qvcry ono expected to see
the other warrior killed.
"Tho spoara were brought nud after
they were given to the combatants it was
beou that the hand of him who had lied
shook so ho could hardly hold his spear.
At this his friends rallied him nnd asked
him if ho was afraid. Ho replied that his
hotu't was bravo , but that hU hand trem
bled , though not with fear , for it had
shook for many davs.
"Thon the battle began , nnd at the second
end throw of the spears , ho with the
trembling hand was clove through the
heait , and killed instantly , while the
other warrior did not oven receive a
wound.
'After the fight was over , the warriors
nil wont to the trader's ledge , and ho
brought out in a pail moro than a quart
of black water , which ho gave in .small
quantities to each warrior. When they
had swallowed it they began to dance and
hiug , and many Jay down on the ground
and slept ns though they were dead.
"Noxt day they came again nud asked
for moro black water , and so they came
each day , dancing and singing , for moro
than a week.
"Ono morning the trader said ho would
give them no more black water unless
they paid him for it , and this they did.
The pricn was at first ono robe for
each sup sufliciunt to make thorn sloop ,
but as the black water became scarce.
two robes , nud finnlly three were paid
for n sloop. Then the trader said ho had
no more except a little for himself , nud
this ho would not soil ; but the warriors
bogged .so hard for some ho gave them a
sleep for many robes. Even the body
robes were soon in the haudsjof the trader
nnd the warriors were very poor , but still
they begged for moro blnetc water , giving
a pony i" exchange for each sleep. The
trader took all thu ponies , nnd then the
warriors allured their squaws , but there
was no moro black water , and the trader
said ho would go and fotcli somo.
"Ho packed all the robes on the ponies ,
and was about to set out when a warrior
made n speech , saying that now that lie
had all their robes and ponies , nnd they
were very poor , the trader was going
away and would never return , for they
had nothing moro to give him , So the
warriors said lie should not depart , and
ordered him to unpack the pomes. The
trader told them ho would soon return
with plenty of black watbr , and give it
to thorn as ho did nt first. Many of the
warriors were willing ho should depart ,
but others said no. I'.ml ono declared that
he had plenty of black Water still loft ,
and wan going oil' to trade with their
enemies , the Sioux , This created
OUUA.T bXCITEMKNT ,
nnd the trader's store and all his paoKs
were searched , but no black water wns
found. Still the warrior assorted ho had
it , and that It was hidden away. The
wariiors declared that they would kill
him unless ho inetantly told them \yhoro
lie hud hid it , and upon his not being
nblo to do so , they rushed into his ledge
nud

before the eyes of his squaw , tearing off
his scalp and stamping upon his body ,
This so alarmed thu white > quaw thatsho
attempted to rffu out of the lodge , and ,
ns she carao to the door , a warrior struck
her on the head with his tomahawk , and
she fell down ns though slio were dead.
"Tho chief made a great speech , saying
that now , as the trader was dead , they
would burn his lodge and take back all
.their robes and ponlos. So
THE : LODOB WAS FUtED ,
niiJ as It.burned a Crow squaw saw by its
light Iho white squaw lying before the
door , nud that she was not dead , and she
took nor to theloilgo.sewed up her wounds
nnd gave her something tp eat. The
squaw lived and got well , but she was
cra/y and couldnotbcarthosighlof a war
rior , believing orcry ono who came near
her was going to kill her.
"One day the white squaw wns missing ,
nnd the village turned out to look for
her. They followed her track far down
the river , but could not find her. Some
women out gathering berries n few days
nftcrwards , said the white squaw came
to them and n kcd for food , showing
them , nt the same time , where she was
hiding in the bluffs near by. She bogged
them not to toll the warriors whore she
was , or tlioy would come nnd kill hor.
Thd squnws tried to dlssltndo her from a
notion so foolish , but they could not get

The Extraordinary Cnrecrofft Young
Ulrl In Imily Blcsslngton's Salon.
Forty years ago , in 1840 , at the ultra relined -
lined receptions of Lady Blessiugton ,
says the London correspondent of the
Now York Sun , a young French girl , in
troduced by n friend of the hostess , laid
the foundation of her future reputation
in fortune tolling. It was Mllo. Lo Nor-
mand , the modern pythoness. Lady Bless-
ington , who bad boon informed by
her Parisi.xn correspondent of the miracu
lous gifts of her protege , determined
to try her before she could have become -
como acquainted with any of the persons
prcbont , or even assortaincd their names.
Three men were successively brought to
her. To the first , after examining his
hand , she said : 'Tour life will be a
happy and successful ono ; you will die
old without pain ; but on one occasion
you and ono of your children will mi-
racuously escape destruction. " To the
second : "It seems almost incredible ,
but I would say to you in the words of
Shakcspoaro. 'Thou will bo king bore-
after. ' Yes , sir , you will reign. ' " After
gazing into the palm of the third the
young girl shivered , grow palo , and
dropped his hand. Quickly rallying , she
informing him thatsho had seen nothing
worth repealing , and loft his side. But
the sumo nitrlit. before leaving , she im
plored Lady Blesslngton to distrust her
guest , saying , "He wul commit murder
nnd bo sentenced to death. "
These tnree men were Charles Dickens ,
who , in 1804 , returning from abroad , was
in the horrible rail way accident of Staple-
hurst , and escaped unhurt ; the MS. of
"Our Mutual Lriend , " his oft'apriug , en
closed in a small hand-bag , was found
upon the track amid the debris and re
turned to the author. The second man
was Prince Louis Napoleon. No com
mentary is noodad. The third was Charles
Wainwright , then a most promising paint -
t > r , who afterward murdered his wife
with the most revolting cruelty. Ho was
condemned to death , but the queen com
muted his seutenco to transportation for
lifo.

Dosbarolles , the great French wizard ,
has chosen this opportune moment to
leave the world ; sooner ho might have
passed awav without even the slightest
notice. Ho was not rich , having lost nil
his fortune in the failure of a bank , and
because , as ho said , "he had not dared
to ask permission to examine the hand of
the manager. " Ho used to receive his
cljonts in n room of daz/.ling brightness ,
with curtninlc s windows , the light com
ing in full from the sky , the gnulons nnd
above the roofs. Uesbnrolles laughingly
explained : "My attic is the ante-room
of the constellations. "
In 1805 a very young Creole , Mllo.
Autard do Bragard , came to consult him.
"Whom shall 1 marry ? " "A man whoso
position will bo universally envied. " "A
millionaire ? n pnnoo ? " "Bettor still. "
Four years later the young girl became

TUB DKATII OF DOCTOR 1MIANWNA
has caused great consternation and sorrow
row in all Italy. His career of seventy
.years was remarkable for It3 many sac
rifices and the noble work ho did. At
the ago of twenty , while yet a student ,
ho met Garibaldi , and the acquaintance
ripened into a friendship that ondcd only
with the death of the hero. Dr. Prnn-
dina early acquired great fame as a
physician nnd surgeon , and when in
1857 the cholera struck Milan ho could
bo seen day and night going
in and out of the most
wretched houses of town , ranking the
poor his especial care as ho did until lie
died. So it is llttto wonder that they
idolized him and ho was known far and
near as "tho poor man's friend. " After
1800 ho never left Garibaldi , going
through every campaign and battle at his
side and caring for his every want. 'Ihen
after the death of thegencral , it was Dr.
Prnndina who , when the body was cre
mated , gathered the ashes of his mtioh-
Iqvcd friend and cared for them. Then
his work for the poor recommenced , and
no man in northern Italy could claim
friends than this " '
more "nature's noble-
nian. " The body .of , the deceased was
interred at Mionn , , near Lecco , and the
car that carried it from Milan was liter
ally covered , nt oa6h station , with flowers
aim crowns of ftmmSrtolIes , thrown by
the crowds of weeping people gathered
to pay a last tribute to the man they loved
THE SrlNO RACES
took place MondHy afternoon and the
sight around the tnick was a very beau-
titul and animated one. 'Die wealth and
fashion of Milan fcerti well represented
by the occupnuts'tif lite handsome equip
ages , and the beiiuty'of the women was
remarkable. Instead of having jockies ,
as wo do in America , the gentlemen rode
their own horses , wearing the colors
presented them _ _ by .some dark-eyed
stgnonna. The 1'jtces amounted to noth
ing , for the horsesthbugli many of them
were very handsome , wore evidently hot
meant for the track , ana the men rode
abominably.
DRESS.
Many of the prevailing fashions in dress
seems very odd to us. Bronze tics or
low shoes are very popular for street
wear nnd the old-fashioned , broad-
brimmed Leghorn straw hats , loaded
with plumes , are much worn by ladies of
fashion. Red is conspicuous by its
absence , and a Milanese lady just re
turned from Paris created n great sensa
tion the other day by appearing on the
Corso in her carnage in an entire suit of
cardinal cashmere. It is so warm already
that ginghjuns , satins , and silks are in
general use.
THE IUOUt.AH : OPERA SEASON
attho La Scala has just ended , but four
more orchestral concerts are to bo given ,
nnd the other opera houses and theatres
do not close until some time next month.
Last night wo hoard "Trovntoro" given
nt the Dal Vermo. Wo were hardly
seated when our attention was drawn
to the peculiarity of the immense cur
tain over the footlights. It waa a mass
of advertisement shoots , of about the
same irregularity of shape and variety
of color that one notices in the patches
of the average crazy quilt. It was rather
disconcerting , while sitting in anticipa
tion of a purely artistic treat , to bo ob
liged to note that "Luigi Don Giovanni
Gabbia put up the bc.it sausngo in all
Italy , " and that "Singer's Bowing ma
chine oil" and "the best cholera preven

THUEE EFFECTS The thousands of
remarkable euros which have boon ac
complished by Hood's Sanrnparllln are
due simply to thiiio ollbcts whloh this
great medicine has upon these who take
'first : It purifies the blood.
Second : It strengthens the system.
Thinl : It gives healthy action to the
digestive organs.
With these throe effects no disease can
long retain it * hold. It is forced to leave
the system , giving place to health and
strength , through tho. potent influence of
Hood's Sarsaparillu. Bold by ull drug
