Unwilling Itnllann.
It is evident from \vhut litw thus far
transpired that it is going to bo a most
laborious und dlllloult tusk to induce the
necesxnry three-fourths of the Sioux In
dians to accept thu treaty for opening
their reservation. The council of nearly
live thousand braves held at Fort Yatcs
the day before the arrival of the com
mission was almost unanimous in ap
proving the attitude of oiosition ] ] tot ho
treaty taUen by all thu chiefs but ono
who addressed them , and was especially
enthusiastic in endorsing the
tontlmunU expressed by the princi
pal orator , Chief Gall. Tlio
argument of this chief , who is
described ns the finest living Indian
orator and of great inlluence , was that
the Sioux had been to many tunes dor
celvod by the promUcs of the white
man that it would bo unwise for them
to accept any now assurances. Uo pre
sented in vigorous terms the hardships
to which the Indians had boon brought
in the past by Iho betrayal of their confi
dence , and declared that they could not
accept land apart that is , In severally
as provided for in the act. Other chiefs
spoke in a similar strain , and all such
evidently touched a chord of feeling
that permeated the entire assemblage.
It is true this council comprised but a
fraction of the Sioux nation , perhaps
not more than one-sixth of the whole
number , but there is good reason to be
lieve that it expressed a sentiment
which is very general throughout the
nation.
It , was evidently a mistake to have de
layed so long in appointing the commis
sion. It gave Sitting Bull and other
chiefs who wcro known to be ho.-itilu to
opening the reservation all the oppor
tunity they required to work up sonti-
munt against the project , and it is plain
that they have takun full advantage of
the opportunity. Could the commission
provided for have gone to work
promptly after thu passage pf the bill a
vast amount of prejudice against
that measure that will now have
to be overcome would not have been en
countered , and what there was would
have been more easily removed. But
thu chiefs , aided by whites who are in
terested in having the reservation re
main as it is , have had ample time in
which to plant widely and deeply the
Hunlimont of hostility to thu proposed
arrangement , nnd the re.sult of their
labors will not bo easily overcome if it
shall bo found possible to do so at all.
The proposed treaty is entirely just in
its terms , and its acceptance would un
questionably bo to Iho ultim-ito advan
tage of the Indians , but it is mamfe-illy
going to be no easy task to convince
thorn of this.
McntorioiiH Emulation.
There is being hold at Piedmont ,
Georgia , a Chnutaun.ua , which , as we
learn from the Atlanta Constitution , is
an experiment In that section. A pe
rusal of tlio programme of the week's ,
exorcises shows that it was arranged by
persons well informed ns to what was
required , and wo htvvc no doubt the experiment -
periment will bo fcund BO popular that
these assemblages will be held annu
ally hereafter in Georgia , ' and doubt
less find adoption in other southern
states , until they shull have become as
general in that section as they are in
the north.
The projectors of the Piedmont Chatt-
tauqua among whom , by the.way ,
Editor Grady is prominent are to be
heartily commended for their olTort to
emulate the north in this well-approved
method of extending intelligence and
popularizing culture. Fortunately they
need not bo harrassed by any question
as to results , if their people are capable
of being impressed by this moans of ob
taining at once knowledge and enjoy
ment , for experience has abundantly
iirovod that the Cluvutauqua is ono of
the most successful of agencies in both
those respects. As au educational ,
moral and social influence its usefulness
has been most satisfactorily demon
strated , and for this reason its start in
the south is a matter of general inter
est , and its growth there some
thing to bo hoped for by all who
desibo to see intellectual progress -
gross in that section. . The beginning
made is not only indicative of a elosiru
to improve , but it gives assurance that
if the effort is persevered In there will
bo improvement , . The time will then
certainly come when the Colquittsof the
south will not dare to proclaim that nc
man who docs not hold political views
agreeable to them shall speak to their
people. A few years of properly con
ducted Chautauquas in the south wouli
send such narrow and illiberal mon int (
obscurity and bring to the front others
who are willing that the people bhoult
hear all sides of every question ii
which thqy are interested. Tlio Pied
mont Chautauqua is a welcome sign o
a progressive tendency that merits on
couragomcnt.

Mr. Charles A. Dana , editor of tin
Now York SHU , cnmo west to addrcs :
the editorial association of Wisconsin
which duty ho performed most satisfac
torily , though what ho said bus an interest
torest only for journalists. Ho founi
opportunity in Chicago , however , t <
drop some observations regarding tin
political situation and outlook , particu
larly with reference to New York , whicl
have a general interest.
Mr. Dana occupies a somewhat pocu
Hnr position. It would bo very dllllcul
to exactly dollno his political statue
Ho Is some sort of a democrat , but th
variety is not known to exist out
side the Sim olllco. Nevertheless
ho is confessedly one of the able
editors in the. country , and a man C
such extended political experience tha
his opinions are of importance an
value.
What Mr. Dana soys of the situatio
in New York is reassuring to rcpul
licans. Ho-status that the democratl
party in that state is cousidorabl ;
broken up , and ho does not think it bj
any niuans certain that Mr. Clovolam
will carry New York. Ho thinks tlu
mugwump vote will not all go to th
democratic candidate , though doubtlcs
a-majority of it will. HeboliovesIIH
to bo stronger than Cleveland with tlu
masses , of tlm En-pii o state democracy
and that ho will certainly b
renonilnfttocl yhother or nq
Cleveland desires it. If .thl
shall prove to be Iho correct view ther'o
is oxcullent promlso that bqth tl o clem-
ocratlir presidential and gubernatorial
tickets in Now York will bo defeated.
It ia obvious tlmt Cleveland and Hill
cannot pull together. Any combination -
tion between them is cortalti to drive
off voters from both. Tills ia what is
distracting democratic councils in Now
York at this time , justifying the state
ment of Mr. Dana that the party is
"considerably broken up. "
Meanwhile the republican organiza
tion is harmonious and enthusiastic all
along tlio line , and is reported to bo
gaining recruits steadily. The political
situation in New York shows no feature
that is not reassuring to republicans.
Tlio Wheelbarrow Hill.
The bill designating half n dozen
towns in the stuto as places for holding
terms of the United States court is lia
ble to die in the conference committee.
It was at best a questionable measure ,
and Judge Dundy undoubtedly was cor
rect in objecting to the U. S.
court being put on wheels and
trundled around from town to
town. The recent limit placed upon
the jurisdiction of United States courts
by which all cases involving loss than
$12,000 are barred out , would practically
make a farce out of sessions in the In
terior towns. The court would convene
and nine times out of ton would liavo to
adjourn for want of business. The
truth of the matter is that this scheme
has boon gotten up by congressmen
solely for political capital. It would bo
much more appropriate to bold state
supreme court sessions in each of the
twenty judicial districts of the state
than to have the federal court con
stantly on a wheelbarrow.
There Is No Danger.
A railroad and boodlor organist down
in Tocumsch serves notice on "General"
Colby that ho must nottieup with Rosewater -
water and TUB UHI : unless ho desires to
court disaster for his congressional
boom.Vo can sincerely assure the
fool friend of the valiant warrior from
the State of Beatrice that there is not
the remotest danger of such a tie-up.
There is no disaster in storb for the
"general" from this quarter. We do not
consider him a possibility as a congres
sional candidate , unless he wants to run
independent. Tlio republicans of this
district are not disposed to load thorn-
solves down with a man who has all the
offensive traits and qualities of Church
IIowo without half his ability.
SKCUKTARY BAYARD , who was in the
senate with General Harrison , is re
ported to have said that the democrats
have nothing to gain by attacking the
republican candidate on the Chinese
record. One of the doughticjt organs
of democracy in the country is the Bos
ton Globe , and a writer in the editorial
columns of that paper siid in a recent
issue : "General Harrison's record on
the Chinese question is all right. It it
the record of an honest , intelligent ,
patriotic man , not afraid to follow hh
convictions and not imporviou * to now
light. " Testimony of this sort may not
weigli with tlio drivelers of the
democratic press and the small
bore politicians who are incapa
ble of any more elevated inutlioi
of warfare than appeals , to the prejU'
dices of the masses , but it will bo ac
cepted as sullicicnt by the more intel
ligent and reputable class of donio
crnts. So far as republicans are con
cerned , they can welcome the closest
scrutiny of General Harmon's record
confident tlmt the result must bo to his
advantage , but the democratic anxlotj
to mak.0 it an issue is rapidly abating ,
and before the campaign is half over
there is no subject hateful to democracy
which that party will more carefully
avoid.
AN AMKUICAN can hardly put hi :
foot on English soil without imme
diately being put under police espion
age. The recent cas6 of Mr. O'Connell
the clerk of the New York court of com
mon pleas , who has complained to the
United States consul at Quconstown , in
only ono of a score of &uch cases. It is
said that the police of London have
been ordered to keep a strict wati'l
upon the movements of all Americans
This would imply that the ICnglisl :
authorities consider every Amcricai
who comes to their shores as : i danger
ous character , and a man who bearo an
Irish name is at once sot down as r
dynamiter and lire eater. Aside fron
the annoyance of such unwarranted sur
vcillanco. it is a breach of intornallonn
rights , and our government should take
fateps to protect American citizoni
abroad from this insult.
TllK mortuary statistics of Cliicagofo
the past year show that the ratio o
deaths to population was about twenty
ono in ono thousand , "which is , per
imps , " says the Jfentld of that city
"lower than any other city in the coun
try. " The healthfulness of a city can
not bo correctly determined from th <
vital statistics of a single year , but Chicago
cage may bo very well satisfied with tin
showing for the past year. The record
however , is doubtless surpassed by man
other cities , and among thorn Omaha
whoso ratio of deaths to population las
year was only about twelve in on
thousand.Vo do not hesitate to saj
without the qualifying adverb , "poi
haps , " tliat there is not a more licaltli
ful city iu the country than Omaha , an
it is improving iu this respect as in al
others.

A Crop of Wlilto Ilucltlclicrrles.
Blooming Grove ( Pa. ) Special Chicago
cage News : A very curious fruit eroii
was gathered in Pilio county. There ie
but ono other spot in the country whore
a similar crop grows. The fruit is white
huckleberries. Whether it is n species
by itself or simply a freak of nature ,
the bushes that boar those berries have
blossomed aud' ripened their fruit
longer than anyone now living in the
county can romombor. The berries arc
about the size of a wild cherry and arc
creamy white. They are very sweet ,
The bushes yielded this year about
twelve bushels , but they have produced
as many as twenty bushels in u season.
Tliov are usually purchased by a Phila
delphia fruit dealer at W a , bushel. It is
said that ho realizes handsomely on his
purchase , as ho obtains a very fancj
price for the. rare berries. Thia whitt
huckleberry crop is monopolized by u
man named Hobday , who owns the plan
tation on which they grow. The only
other white hnekloborry district known
is in Sussex county , Now Jersey , on r
farm owned by M. O. Everett , president
of the Port Jorvis First Nutipnal batik.
This Hold is not us largo as the Pike

How Ilnrrlnon Made Imvo.
WASHINGTON , July ! M. [ Special to Tin :
Hii.l : A few days ago 1 had a talk with a
very bright nnd Intore'sting lady who attended
the Ohio female seminary at Oxford , during
the throe or four years course tnkou by Gen
eral Harrison ntul his wlfo nnd she gave mo
some Interesting anecdotes regarding the
prospective occupants of the white house , re
lating to their courtship and marriage , ns
well as their school life. The Indy to whom
I talked Is nuout the ago of Mrs. Harrison ,
nml lives in one of tlio thriving natural gas
cities not far from Indianapolis. Although
she Is one of the most ardent nnd Intelligent
democratic women I over mot , she Is nn ad-
uilror of General and Mrs. Harrison. She
says the general is a model husband ami
that ho was a model hey and a model lover.
"I shall never forgot 'I.ittlo Hen1 Harri
son , ns wo used to call him when ho at
tended the university at Oxford while Carrie
Scott , now his wife , was a pupil in the Ml-
lima university In the same little town. Hen
was a chunky young man when ho was
eighteen , and even was more like a man at
sixteen than most boys when thesy nro
twenty-one. His arms wcro charter than
those of the average hey when ho was Just
entering manhood , and it was vary conveni
ent for him to carry his hands down deep In
his pockets when ho walked around the uni
versity grounds , and when ho was out
strolling with and making love to Carrie. I
never saw two people , young , or old , who
wcro so happy as were Hen ami Carrie when
they were out walking around in the after
noon. They would moot out at the trystlng-
pluco , and the last to bo seen of them In the
gloaming was when they disappeared down
the road in their regular walks. They
seemed to lese sight of the world and all the
cares in it. Uoth were deeply in love , nnd
Carrie Scott used to make the
bravest lights against thu pliiues
of the girls that I over saw n
girl muko for her lover. When she became
Impatient she would defiantly inform her
companions that if they didn't like "Little
Hen" thuy could just lump him , and that
they didn't euro what the boys and girls
thought of them ; that they thought enough
of 0110 another to do both of them.
"As pupils , Hen Harrison nnd Carrie
Scott , " continued tlio lady , "wero extremely
studious. Tlio hoys said that Hen was ono
of the best debaters in his class , nnd that
his compositions showed deep study. He
was naturally combative in what ho com
posed , ami in his arguments would naturally
take issue for the sake of dobato. Carrie
was always present when there was any
public demonstration when Uou took part ,
and vice versa. I remember very well the
first time I ever saw General Harrison. Wo
instantly named him 'Mr. Hon. Harrison. '
because hu was dignilled and boemcd
to always bo in a brown study. Ho
walued about the grounds by himself nnd lie
kept his face toward the ground , with his
arms up to his elbows in his pockets , and tlio
girls always said ho looked so 'business-like
and berious. ' Ho showed the traces of a
professional man In embryo , oven when ho
was but seventeen or eighteen years old. I
don't wonder ho Is a good lawyer. Ho Is one
of the sternest analy/ors of human nature I
over saw , and naturally he is a student.
Since I watched him during his school days ,
and know Carrie Sc-ott , his wife , s > o well , I
have kept a close run of his domestic us well
as his public life'ns a married man and nn
influential citizen of Indianapolis. 1 have
had great curiosity to know if that pecul
iarly htroiiK love that they showed for each
other in beliool would stay with them during
their long married life , and I believe It has.
They seem to bo as deeply in
love to-day as they wcro thirty-
live years ago , nnd they arc us well mated as
two doves could be. Tlio general , as I have
said , is a model husband. Ho and Carrie for
many years have lived iocctlior Just like the
most ordinary young married people with
very limited moans , and ho used to help her
In the kitchen und in her domestic duties ,
not excepting the washing and scrubbing
and looking after the children , lust like a ser
vant girl. I don't think it will ho necessary
for any of their friends to curd the public
about their domestic relations , or try to ex
plain away any report to tlio effect that ho
lias over mistreated his wife. I expect If the
public know the history of their domestic
lives nothing would give the general inoro
strength before the country , especially with
the women.
"If Mrs. Cleveland's way of refusing to re
ceive callers Is the style in Washington , I do
not euro to impose myself upon it , " said a
lady who formed the principal part of a
group of women from the west , who called
recently nt the white house to see the first
lady ot the land.Wowcnt up this morn
ing to pay our respects to Mrs. Cleveland , "
she continued , ' 'and , of course , wo were
largely prompted by curiosity. 1 have seen
Mrs. Cleveland in public places several
times , but I had a desire to taho her by the
hand , look Into her eyes , nnd say a few
words to her , because I admired her and
wanted to hco how'hho appeared nt short dis
tance. Wo were informed nt the door that
Mrs. Clove'and was not receiving to-day , and
that she could not see us. 1 insisted ,
however , that If it was not a hard
ship to her , wo would bo grateful If she
would only say 'howdydoo' and shako hands
with us. The private secretary of tlio presi
dent said that ho would take our cards to
Mrs. Cleveland , with our comuliment.s , and
request that wo bo received at any time and
in the most convenient place in the house.
"Wo waited for some time , " continued the
ladv , "for the secretary's return , and when
lie dually did appear ho handed back our
cards and bald that Mrs. Cleveland did not
wish to receive us. It was a disappointment ,
of course , but wo did not earo for that near
as much ns wo did the manner In which our
requests were answered. It is the first tlmo
I river had a woman send back my card when
I called to pay my respects , and the cards
were handed buck to each of us In a manner
and with a tone of expression which Mild-
'You can use these to call upon somebody
olso. ' I think that If wo could not bo re
ceived by Mrs. Cleveland It would look more
respectful if she had retained our cards. It
would have led us to naturally think that
our little mementoes would bo preserved ,
and that some day , probably through o ire-
lessncss , the eyes of the mistress of the
white house would rest upon our namus.
Hut , alas I they wcro bent back to us with
thanks. "
Some tlmo ago congress passed n hill for
the relief of A. H. T.vat. . This bill author-
Uu the payment to Tyan of n sum enual to
the amount expended by him in relieving the
sufferings of American Hebrews who emi
grated to Jerusalem soon after the civil war.
Those who can remember back twenty years
will reeiollcct that there was a great deal of
suffering among these Hebrews , owing to the
persecutions of the sultan. Hundreds of
thorn loft Jerusalem und went down to Joppa ,
In Syria , where they would have starved but
for the aid extended by Victor Ucaucouchor ,
then United States consul at Jerusalem , The
consul expended W.OOO or f5,000 which had
Iweii contnbutoel by A. H. Tyun , n wealthy
banker.
Several years ago congress passed n bill
authorizing the fecrotury of state to reim
burse Hcauboucher for the money thus ex
pended. It was dlscoveml , however , that
this gentleman had only been the agent for
the expenditure of the money , nnd that hu
was not a subject for ocongrcssialial re
lief. This year at the suggestion of
the secretary of state , the act for
the relief of Hoaubouchor was re
pealed nnd another law enacted directing
that payment bo made to the amount ad
vanced by Tyan. This amount Is pnyablo to
Tyan upon the orJor of thu secretary pf
stato. The treasury ofllclals , however , have
undoubtedly not properly road the act , and
Utoy labor under Iho impression that It Is to
bo paid through the customary channels.
True to their instincts , in consequence , they
are now engaged In u search of thurecords
back for twenty years or moro trying to as
certain if Tjuu was at some time uu ottlcer
of the government that ho was on the
bond of jtomo officer who defaulted , the
lacrt boitig that If ho Wo * , ( | mt nmybo.somo
money wlis tluo thu govc > rninent from him as
principal or surety , whlelt couhl bo pocketed
from the amount. These Inquiries will
probably occupy omo weeks and when the
officers finally discover that there Is no good
grounds for withholding any portion of the
money appropriated to pay Tyan , they will
piobably bo iintonlshrM to Und that the sec
retary of state has long before this drew the
money and had it paid to the bcnctlciary.
Ono would have suppos.ed that when the
tariff debate closed in the house the evidence
of the struggle for protection nnd free trade
would have been removed , but not so. When
Jlovol.iml and Thunuan were nominated at
bt. Louis nnd the rod bandana was ( touted
In public places , thu democrats made up a
purse and bought two or three hundred
cheap cotton red bnudnntia handkerchiefs
and distributed them gratuitously through
out the house. In front of the speaker's
desk Is n semi-circular space. On the west
slilo of it nro located the republican mem
bers , nnd on the cast sldo the democratic
members of the house. The democrats took
the red bandana lings given thorn and
wove them In the brass neit work in front of
their seats surrounding their half of the
ftuinMrc.il > , wlileh made milto a display of
the democratic symbol.
When HnrriHon nnd Morton were noiiil.
niitcd at Chicago the republicans circulated
largo numbers of beautiful sill : Hags , which
they carried in their bre-asts or displayed in
their outside pockets. Then they Issued a
lot of small Hags , on which wore printed the
words , "Protection to American Industries. "
'J his the republicans hung out ever the tops
of the desks on their side of the semi circle.
As the tariff debate were along It was ob
served that the democrats removed their red
bandanas ono by ono , until llnallv only ono
remained , and that was In front of thu' seat
of General Spinoln , of Now York. The sccnu
around the speaker's desk during the most
profusely-decorated period was us gaudy us
ono sees nbout the rostrum nt a political
meeting. Since the tariff debate closed the
last of the bandanas has disappeared , but the
Hags and Iho words "Protection to American
Industrlo.s" still stand out against thu desks
on the republican side , showing that the re
publicans uro more willing to stand upon
their protective platform than the democrats
uro to proclaim their free trade platform.
For some reason or other the democrats In
the house , who have conducted their cam
paigns largely on grounds of being farmers ,
nro not proud of their avocation this year ,
and nro not crying the fact from the hill tops
that they labor in the Hold when not In con
gross. It may bo for the reason that they
arc supporting the Mills tariff bill , which
strikes a direct blow at the agricultural In
torests. A newspaper correspondent , who
represents among other journals ono of thu
leading agricultural periodicals of the coun
try , Was recently requested by his employers
to write n series of articles on the farmers Iu
congress , nnd ho tells mo that most of the
democrats In the house who have heretofore
been proud of the fart that they own farms
and sometimes worlc upon them have refused
fused to talk about their farm life. I was
present the other day with him when ho
approached Hcprcscntiilivo ; Dougherty ,
of Florida. This man has not ob
jected to being called a "farmor states
man , " the "farmers' favorite , " etc. , when
ho has been before the people for nomina
tion or election , but Just now ho does not
want to talk about his farm work or farm
interest. He llatly nnd Insultingly refused
to irlvo any Information concerning himself
and his faun work , and said that it must not
bo spoken of in the press ; that ho wanted to
bo let alone ; that if ho was a fanner hu
didn't euro to have it honildcd ever the
country.
It Is singular , but it Is almost invariably
true , that the men who como to congress from
farms soon refuse to bo recognized ns farm
ers , and pose as lawyers and as members of
other professions. There Is no class in either
branch of congress that receives more con
sideration than those coming from thu agri
culturists. In fact , an intelligent farmercun
wield more Inlluuiico in cither house of con
gress than any other man , because ho Is sup
posed to have creator Inllucnco with that
class , nnd there being but few farmers in
congress , and the interest of the farmer com
ing up so continually , a farmer hero has ex
coptlonally good opportunity to maho his m-
llucnco nnd his energy felt. The manufac
turer next ranks in iniiiioncc , so fur as occu
pation is concerned. Thu thing , however ,
that wields greatest power is liitolligonco
based upon honor. Piniuv S. HUATII.
ACONSTAIUiK FINED.
An Attachment Trouble Aired In tlio
Police Court.
Joe Zimmerman and Constable D. P.
O'CJonnoll had an airing yesterday afternoon
in the police court of their ellWculty on the
ISth inst. O'Connell claimed that ho had a
writ of execution against J. N. Zimmerman ,
whom ho wished to close up. Hu appointed
Joe X.lmmurmnn as ono of the appraisers of
the property , but that gentleman refused to
servo and attempted to drive the constable
off the premises. The two clinched and
some blows passed between them. O'Con
nell then arrested Ximmerman for resisting
nn olllcer and dragged him to his buggy. The
/'iminermans toll a decidedly different story.
They claim that O'Connell wont far beyond
all privileges granted an ofllcer ; that ho prn-
tondcd to have an execution empowering him
to take away their house nnd lot ; that ho
commenced to nail on the wall his writ of at
tachment for their goods and imposed upon
their Ignorance of the English lanjruago by
tolling them it was u notice of the sale of
their house and lot. That ho also demanded
their deed for that property. Joe said that
ho did not believe the paper O'Connell pre
sented him and nslied him to si n was a doc
ument making him appraiser , but was Instead
a promissory note making him security for
Ills brother. Because ho would not sign this
ho was assaulted by thu ofllcer. It was also
assorted that none of the property of J N.
Zimmerman could bo taken from him by
nttncnmunt , as ho had less than was allowed
him by law. This conflicting testimony was
submitted to a Jury and they declared /Clm-
inurman innocent and O'Connell guilty of
assault and battery. The Judge lined tlio
constable $ ' . ! > and costs , An appeal was
takun.
LOVED HER GYPSY ABUCTORS.
AGIrl Unwillingly ItctnriiH to Parents
Five Yearn After Being Stolon.
Chicago Tribune : Five years n < fo the
people of Dahlnntrn. were much oxcili-d
ever the Hudden disappearance of the
seven year-old daughter of k. T. Givens ,
a farmer of that section. A search was
made for her , but in vain. The supposi
tion was that she was stolen by u band
of gypsies who were encamped near the
residence of Givens , and to whom the
child became much attached. As years
passed the memory of the lost girl died
out ; until revived a few days fcincp ,
when a band of Indians pitched their
tents near the residence of Dr. Mowers ,
a physician living in n mountainous
region in Way no county , North Care
lina. Among the band Dr. Mowers saw
a girl of rare beauty , with fair com
plexion and auburn hair. lie at. once
became convinced that thu girl had
boon stolen and doleirmincd to investi
gate the mystery , llouccordingly had his
daughters entice the girl to his house ,
where ho questioned her , and she said
she had been stolen , but she loved the
gyi > ey band , wno were kind to her , and
bad no desire to leave them. Shu mud
ho niuuo was XoldiUi , or "Silver
Queen. " I Jr. Mowers detained the girl
at his house and bought theleader of
thu tribo. lie threatened him and his
band with imprUOnmont for life if ho
ruftibcd 10 give , the history of thu Htolen
girl , PO that flhi ) could bo restored to her
parents. Finally , after long consulta
tion with his people , ho gave the par
ticulars regarding the ahuotlon of the
child , und with the wildest cries and
moans for thu loss of "Silver Queen , "
us they called her , the.v wont their way
through the mountains of weutern
North Caroliun. Two days Jigo the
child WUH iTBlored to her parents after
fjve years' wanderings. Shu innuifobtod
no dnlight ot mousing them , and is lu-
coueolablo at the loss of her swarthy
companions. It in feared she will at
tempt to follow them , and is closely
watched.
