Captain J. N. Armstrong , now in com mand of the bark Kalaknua , loading lumber nt Port Ulakely for the west coast of South America , was in Seattle yesterday. rnptnin'Artmtrong , says the Seattle ( W. T. ) Po t-lntelligeiicer , will bo remembered as the commander who brought the ship Templar from Now York to San Francisco a few years ago on one of tlio most remarkable passages on rcrord After being out for some time the captain went into a foreign port and for some reasons his crew , excepting the ollicors , left. Filially two English .ships came in , and from them Captain Arm strong made up a new crow , and afler being out forty days the entire crow , in cluding tlio captain and his daughter , were taken down with yi-llowfoviT. The first mate died and several of llio sailors. Those who had the dipcaso less violent throw the dead overboard one by om-ithe ship drifted about without pilot or na\i- gator for more Hum a year. The captain tor two years was so violent from the ravages ot the fever that ho had to bo churned to the deck to keep him from jumping overboard. He wears the dears from the chains and lashings to this day. During the vcar that the ship drifted about the second mate nnd three or four of the sailors recovered , but being out of sight of land and not understanding navigation , they \vero powerless to do anything with the ship. Finally the daughter regained her reason , but nether her strength , ( Jno day she sent for the second mate and asked him to carry her on deck , which ho did. She then seat for heir fathor's , instruments , and by the aid of this and her knowledge of naviga tion she figured out the location of the vessel. She then took the charts from the cabin nnd traced out a route to San Fraueifcco. She then practically took command of the vessel and ordered the second mate and surviving members of the crow to make sail , ami gave them the direction in which to sail. Every day for months she would bo carried on deck to take the sun and give her orders. Days and weeks pushed and the ship continued on her journey , lieiny so light- handed the vessel could not bo properly handled , and could carry but llttlo sail , consequently her progress was blow. After many weaiy , dreary months the captain rogaim d his reason , and when ho learned of what his daughter had done ho was greatly surprised and declared that , had he been placed in tlio same position , lie could not have done better. The ship was loaded with general mer chandise , tlio cargo being insured forever over s ' 00,000. The lonp ; absence of the ship and no tidings from her led the owners and all Interested parties to believe - liovo that she , with all hands on board , had been lost. Imagine their surprise , after the supposed fate of the ship had almost passed from their minds , when one bright dav in the summer llio ship Templar , with her cargo all intact , came sailing into San Francisco bay. Modest Don Cameron. Washmuton llnm > liltau Whan Snaato'r Don Canie'ron of i'cnnsylvaniii write his name in a hotel register lie invariably puts a dash in front of it thus : J. 1) . CAMKKON. The dash is very long , and begins where the page of the book is fastened in its | ) lace. If the register is a very wide book the eccentric dasli of the Pennsyl vania senator is supplemented by an allix : J. D. CAMKKON. AVhonovcr he writes his name on tlio Fifth Avenue Hotel rejrister , which is a wide book , he uses the double dash. A gentleman gives this explanation : "I have lived in Washington , known Senator Cameron \\oll , and the reason he uses a dash before his name. He never uses the dash except on a hotel register. At tlio capital nearly every man has a handle to his name. When : i senator or Dfonoral registers at a hotel , the clurk po- litel.y adds the prefixwhatever it may be , and it appears that General So-and-so lias deliberately written his entitle. Senator Cameron , instead of being a vain man , is very modest and unassuming. The pn- lito clerks put the prefix Senator to his name frequently on the registers , which \yas exceedingly repugnant to him. His simple request to leave off all appendages to Ins signature did not have the desired effect , anil ho hit upon the happy idea of the dash to Keep anything from being written in front of his namo. The front dash worked for a time on narrow registers , but finally the ingenious clerk wrote the word 'Senator' alter his name. This required double vigilance , so the re tiring and genial senator added the allix dash. " Senator Colliding nml Senator Hrueo A Knbulco to Senator Alcorn. Boston Herald : Ex-Senator 15ruco of Mississippi says ho is going to prepare a lecture on his experience in the senate.

A CONCLAVE INDIAN STORY , Attended with Very Interesting Results The Lost Found. Sir , H. I ) , llelclicr , of St. Kouls , Kinds n Itolntlvc Who , TwcntyolKtii Yours Ago , Then n Mttle Girl , AVns Htolen by the Indians. St. Louis Globe-Democrat : The old ndairo that truth is stranger than fiction had it.s truthfulness well exemplified by a second occurcnco In addition to the re union of llio Miller brothers , as a result of the conclave , and which followed in its wake , coming to light yesterday. The incident referred to was the passing of a casual observation , which led to the re counting of experiences and ultimately to the discovery of ono who for years had been given up for lost. One of the persons most deeply interested is Mr. S. P. Holchor , manager of llio French Sil vering Glass company , of this city. Like many others , forced to leave his hotel in order to make room for a knight templar , hn secured a room in an up town residence , and was requested by lih landlady to allo w two sir knights to oc cupy the same compartment with him for a week or two. Ho cheerfully eonsei.ted , and on their arrival naturally engaged them in conversation , and endeavored to make them feel at home. Ono evenIng - Ing in the latter purl of last week during ono of tlictr conversations , the subject turned on Indians. Ono of the Sir Knights remarked that ho had lived among them for six years and was deep ly struck with their intelligence. This conversation made a strong impression on Mr. Holchor , and at the dinner table the following day ho repeated what the Sir Knight said in regard to the Indians , A lady who sat opposite quickly spoke up and said that she agreed with tlio person who had said that the "good Indian was the dead Indian. " This remark , coming from a lady of very evjdent refinement , naturally excited surprise and she qui > 'k- ly said : "I was a captive among them for three years , so 1 have good reasons tor my opinion. " All eyes were at once turned on the lady na she made this hist remark , and as she win pressed on all sides to tell her story s'hc at last con sented. \vpoKi ) IIY A siorx cnir.r. She said that upward of twenty-eight years ago , when she was a girl ot 13 years of ago , she left her homo in Now York City to visit some friends at a fort on the frontier. Wliilp there she saw u great deal of the Indians , as they were daily visitors at the fort. They were greatly attracted , toward her , and her beautiful auburn tresses especially Inter ested them. The color seemed to bo to thorn "trood medicine. " nnd they begged * , | MMin . I * I * . ' - 1.1 I .V rv- - jur luuita 01 ii , as 11.voiiiu insure 10 uiem good luck on the war-path. One young bionx chief did not eon line himself to a simrlo lock , but requested the whole head , as well as her hand. His aspira tions were cruelly checked , but lie , as well as other members of the tribe , still continued to lavish on her presents of beads and trinkets of various kinds. This went on for some time , until one day in October the little girl took her basket , left the fort and irottud oil' to the woods to gather butternuts. While thus en gaged , her too ardent friend , the rejected chief , stoic stealthily upon her , and be fore she was awuro of it her head was enveloped in a blanket , she was lifted to the back of a horse and rapidly carried oil' . IJoing taken to tlio tout where the tribe was encamped , she was received with great respect and treated with cxtienic Kindness. The tribe at pneo moved oil' with llieir captive , and during the entire three years she was with them they moved from place to place , never remaining at any ono for any length of time. Vainly did tlio poor girl watch for a chance to escape , and vainly did she wait for a rescuing party to come to her assistance. During all this time she was well Iroalod by her captors , and never once did they oiler any indignity to Iviv. In their furious bursts of passion she witnessed many cruel and vengeful acts on their part.'but never were these acts directed towards her. She was , as it were , a queen among them , so far as treatment wont , but was nevertheless placed under the strict surveillance of the squaws of the tribe. When traveling she was never forced to walk , but was always given a seat on a polo carriage or in rough ground carried on the shoulders of a stout buck. Not withstanding their kindness to her she hated them violently , and never ceased to long for her freedom. From being a plump , stout , rosy girl , shu became almost a living skeleton. A HisCtiKG : I'AKTV. When she had been with thorn about throe years they were encamped some where in ttio Rockies. Her lent was pitched iigainst a tall clifF. down which ran a llttlo stream of water , and which also ran through under tlio tent. While she was sitting there in the company of several squaws ono day , she suddenly heard shouts out among the hills. The shouts were immediately followed by shots , and she knew that a conflict o'f some kind was goins on. A few squaws rushed into the tout , gave a few orders and loft. Those who were in llio tent then seized llio trembling captive , threw her on llio ground , covered her with a pile of furs , ami , judging from llio weight , she concluded they must have sal on her. It was witli the utmost dilliculty thai she could breathe , and she thinks she would never have lived to toll this story iiad it not been that she was within reacli of tlio small stream , nnd thus enabled her to moisten her parched throat and lips. Soon she heard the squaws who find gene out return , and after an interval of deathlike silence she was almost enrap tured by hearing what she hud given up nil hopes of over again listening to her own language , 'llio welcome words spoke the following ! "Well , boys , I guess wo might us well tnko this pile of furs along too. " With this they gathered up the furs , and their astonishment can be readily imagined when they came to tlio almost illuminate form lying on the ground. She was quickly restored , and learned that her captors had been almost completely annihilated , only two or three escaping. Her rescuers were a military party who were traveling eastward , HUNTING IIKlt OLD HOME. On arriving again in civilization the girl , whoso name was Mary Otis , nt once set about gaining information of her par ents. Kvory trace of them seemed to bo lost. Wholiior llioy were living or dead she e.ould not discover She no sooner obtained a clue to their whereabouts than something arose to destroy it , nnd In this way she continued her otlort to find them , but never succeeded. Gradually she brought herself to consider all her friends as gene , and to look upon herself as alone and friendless in the world. But she was free and among civilized people and for that she was unutterably thank- till. At length a ludy whom she had mot nl ono of tlio forts where she and her rescuers wcro stopping , and who had taken a great fancy to her , asked her to live with her. Tins the poor lonely girl consented to do , and at once accom panied the kind lady to her homo in Michigan , Hero she iillod the place of a daughter , and spent many nuupy days with her new mother , entirely resigned to her futo , and regarding the ono who had adopted her as her mother , Time sped on nnd she once more bugau to attain her former beauty and robustness. Soon her charms attracted the attention of an army otiicer , and she became his wife , The oflieer , her husband , is iv , Knight Templar , and they together \isilod the oonclnvo. TIII ; . During the progress of the story the lady Incidentally1 mentioned her maiden name , Mary Otis. No sooner had Mr. Holchor heard the name than he became suddenly excited , and questioned her as to her antecedents and family. On re ceiving her answer ho at once made known to her the fuel that his wife's brother-in-law wnsonoof her - - long-sought brothers. His name was James Otis ; ho had it brother , John Oil * , and n sister , Mary Otis. The sister had been spirited away , they knew not how , and had long since been given tip for lo t. Hut there was no doubt that the lady from Mich igan and Mary Otis wore ono and the same. This discoynry greatly ntl'cctod both parties interested , as well as tlio others present , and Mr. Helcher was un able to transact any business for llio re mainder of the dnj. The lady was nl o overwhelmed , and before her departure a tow days after opened a correspond ence with her brother ? . The huh is now quite gray , nioro through trouble and anxiety ( nan through ago. She is very intelligent nnd rellned , having received a liberal education from the old lady by whom she was adopted. The discovery of tlio former Ml s Otis will also have irrcat weight in closing up an oslato which has been in litigation for years. Mr Hotelier has a largo interest in it , bill has been foughl by hoift on the lady s side , and hopes now that It will be straightened out. The lottery Ticket. Detroit Free Press : The story 1 am going to give was related to me by a crook named Jim Davis , alias 'Little Jim1' and I have every reason lo know that he told the truth. I clvo il in his own language : "Hoforo the war , when thousands of tickets In the Hoyul Havana lottery were sold in the United States every month , and when everybody know the drawings to be square , every gambler , pugilist , thief ami burglar made it a solemn duty to Invest in at least ono ticket per mouth. I happened in Now York with my 'pal' in May one your , nnd each of us bought a ticket for the May drawing , paying therefor & 3 each. Our stay in the city was brief. Wo had a job laid out ill nil eastern slate and went , to Gotham after tools to do it with. When we purchased llio tickets eaeh of us took the number of both on a slip of paper. After a few days we got down to our work. Wo had planned to crack the safe in the ollico of a big iron mill , and wo had gene over the ground and worked out the details until wo felt sure of the boodle. The pay-day at the mill came on the 20th of the month. The money was drawn from the bank on the lllth , and of course kept in tlio safe over night. It was the night of the lUlh wu tauKlcn it. There was a watchman on the premises , and we bound and gagged him and laid him in a corner and wont to work. The safes of those days were mere shells , while llio tools wore almost as perfect as now. We had the door open in an hour , and in ten minutes more wo , should have boon oil' with the ausli , buti the infernal watch man across1 the strcet , in another mill , and bi'twecn ( ho ' blowing of whistles , ringing of bells , and shouting for help we got rattled l(4Uiii started oil' without getting a dollar * "Wo ran out the back way and through the yards , but were pursued by three or four men some of whom fired at us with revolvers. Wu cut for a ravine , tripping and stumblintr and'in ' llio darkness be came separated. My pal ran along the edge of it , and jyas thot through the body by ono of the nifm , while I plunged down among the rocl > s an.d bushes and got safe oil1 , though badly urfed up bysovcrnl tails 1 did not know until next 'morning that my partner had been hurt , and I learned of' his shooting UnU-'his death at the same time. The body xyaS taken in charge by the undertaker , aiid'l deemed it wise to leave that locality. I was in Boston when I saw a list ot the luck numbers for May , and while my ticket was not named my partner had hit STO.OOO. I compared the numbers over and over again and there was no mistake. An agent in New York stood ready to cash all prizes , but where was the ticket ? 1 had seen it in my part ner's wallet only the day before he was killed. As the coroner had taken charge of the body , ho must also have the man's personal oH'octs in his possession. I went over to New York and cooked up n plan with a sharp , shrewd old woman , who at once proceeded to tlio place I have not thought best to name to yon and passed hcraolf oft"as llio dead man's mother. Sim had everything so straight that the coroner did not doubt her , but we reaped no profit , from the plan. Nothing had been found on the body except a few keys and a knife. Tlio man had probably thrown Ills wallet away while running , thai no compromising papers might bo found. "As we did not want the body , which had of course boon buried , tlio woman dropped oul of sight and 1 began a hunt for the wallet In ono disguise and an other 1 hung around the mill and thu ravine until I had looked every foot of ground three times over. If the coroner hadn't the wallet some one else had. By a series of lucky turns 1 finally discov ered that one of tlio watchmen , a man named Islmgur , had the wallet , I got 'on to' this fact jusl the day before he started for Now York to gel thn lottery ticket cashed. Ho had quit his job on pretense of sickness , and evidently pro posed to koei > the matter very oniot. 1 followed him to Gotham , saw Mm got his cash , and then followed him to a brother of his , 200 milo.s away. Ho had that money in his possession just four days. " "How did ho lose it ? " "A burglar got into his brother's house in the night and secured II.1' "And the burglar was " "Urn ! " He was sllnnt fora moment , and then ho paid : "Poor Hill's body was taken out of llio potter's Hold , roburried in a lot costing 'iOO , and tlio monument erected over his remains cost § 1.000 to a cent , That was all any one could do for him.

The lirst glass of wino was being poured when lit ! the decanters and glassware began to clash like mad dened dice , and the ship to tremble and sway in a strange , vertical way. With the ready inMim-l of the sailor they knew It was no ordinary "ship-roll , " and all rushed upon dock to behold a sight most appalling on shore , and to hoar the smothered rumbling of a coining earth quake. The air was full or rising dust , great rocks and trees were loosened and came crashing down the side of the Audi's and plunged in tue boiling sea , and the white stucco houses of Arica , ono after another , crumbled and iell into themselves , as il were , like eirg-.sholls ; and everything on land seemed to bo crumbling to dust. Major Williams , in this hour , with des truction around thorn and Mirol.y on its way to them , remembered a certain little , old , woll-thuinbed book belonging to his scant library when a boy , in which a chapter on earthquakes gave the fact that a "tidal wave always followed such vis itations , if it occurred near the sea coast , " and he was not long In deciding to go to shore when the shocks had subsided , and bugged tho-io around him to take to tlio beaN at once ; but limy refused , and no persuasion could induce them to leave the shii ) . F.ach shock on shore was fol lowed bv a tremble in tlio sea , and ho knew the old Fredoma's hour was nigh at hand , and grew almost frantic at the obduracy of his brother ollicers nnd friends. They had lived for years as one family , and it was terrible to luavu them toji fato. ? o _ certain and sad , 'llio cay- tain's wiio nmi joit two lovely young chil dren at Cation , but she clung to her hus band to the last , refusing to leave him ovfn for the faint hope ol reaching those poor little waiting children. Major Williams , finding his efforts of no avail , turned to Surgeon Dubois. who had recently saved Ins life by his skill and care during an attack of yellow fever , and pleaded with him. Two seamen were waiting to row them to shore , but Dubois , like the rest , preferred to take his chances on the ship , but Major Wil liams dragged him to the ship's side and fairly forced him in. They were rowed to sliore safely , and landed on tlio. least precipitous slope of tiie mountains , but the two poor seamen were lost ere they again reached the ship. Hooks and trees continued rolling down the mountains , and , almost blind with dust. Major Wil liams and Surgeon Dnbois reached n place of comparative safety , llio shocks still continuing , but at longer intervals. IJeloiv lay Arica ir. ruins , and out of its 8,000 people about eight hundred had. sought the .slope. Many lay dead in the ruins , others remained to project what valuables they had loft , mid some to care for their wounded and dying friends , while many , falling prey to that spirit of plunder said to bo engendered by earth quakes the world over , remained" rob and carry to places of concealment what ever they could find of sulliciont value. Our refugees from the sea had scarcely selected and settled themselves in their place of safety if such a thing could bo lound when , looking toward the ocean , they behold the sea , like a mighty sheet of glass , rise and full seven times , then into thousands of watery fissures. The old Fredouia was bpruoupuml down like a toy , then the lips of a great lissuro opened and closed around nor , and she was soon no morel The night that fol lowed was of the blackest darkness so dark that a white handkerchief could not lo seen a foot from the eye. The com motion of the earth and tremblings still kent up. beginning at some far away point over tlio Andes , sounding at first like some great spinning wheel , growing louder nnd louder as it ncarcd , until in an agony of dread and tuspenso the poor overwrought creatures gave vent to llio most piercing shrieks when the crises eamo. Mothers were hunting their children dis'.ractodly , orphaned children calling through the darkness to their parents , and the mountains rever berating with tlio awful commotion lliat came with each shock. It was a night that can never be described.Vhcn day light dawned a scene of widn-roaching ruin and desolation mot the oyo. The pretty strip of coast was though pulvor- vorizud , not a living , moving thing waste to bo seen , and the sea was shorn as willi a scythe of all the while sails and stately ships that so thickly dolled llio harbor. Tli3 English shipping was destroyed , and of the United States vessels not ono sur vived the calamity except the Wateroo. which was landed high and dry on a shelf of the Andes , where she lies to-day converted into some government pur pose. Relief was soon sent to tlm survivors from Callao the 800 who had soughl the mountains. Those who remained in llio lown of Arica were swopl away by llio tidal wave which rushed over tlio const , after the upheaval in the sea. Major Williams was walking along thn short ) a few days aflor , looking for some monion- to from the Fredonla , when ho saw some thing fluttering high up in a palm tree. which looked familiar , and which proved to be a small plaid shawl thai he kept in his state room thrown across his berth ; ho secured it with some difficulty , nnd il is now in my keeping , covered with sea stains and dark spots. A friend once said to Major Williams ; "I would give a fortune , major , for your experience in llial earthquake. " "And I would give a fortune if you hud it Jnstnud ot I it's a nightmare ami horror to mo always , " ho answered. The dispntohes of that dnto from Callao read : ' 'Tho Frodonin lost. But two souls saved , through a strange Providence tlio paymaster and sur geon. " It mlghl have added : "Thanks to a llttlo old primer and a good mem ory.
