There was a funeral at the Pine Ridge Agency a few weeks ago of an Indian chief, who was a brave warrior, and as great in diplomacy as he was in

battle.

His name was Young-Man-Afraid-of-Ilis-llorses, and he was the hereditary chief of the whole Sioux nation. He was fifty-eight years of age at the time of his death, and was a son of the famous old ^^rrior “A-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horses,” who died in 1S8U at the age of ninety-two, and whose life is intimate!} connected with the frontier history of this country since tiie early days of the century. When an Indian wants to emphasize a fact strongly, he says the exact opposite of what he means, and so the name of the dead chief is a specimen of Indian satire. His father, in his fights with other Indians, adopted the tactics of the whites. The usual method of the Indians is to ride in circles around the object of attack, narrowing the diameter of the circle as the fight proceeds. Hut the father used the regulation cavalry charge—a method of warfare that at once distinguished him, and he was given a name which meant “a man of whose horses the enemy is afraid.” The Sioux satirist thought to improve on this and condensed it to: ‘A-Man-Afraid-of-IIis-IIorses." The old man’s son, the chief now dead, continued his father’s system of tactics, and, with the chieftaincy, was viventhe title: ‘‘Young-Man-Afraid-of-Ilis-IIorses." He was contemporaneous as a chieftain of the Sioux with such Indians as Red Cloud, Sitting Hull, Spotted Tail, American Horse, Hlack Hear, Lone Wolf, Red Leaf and White Thunder, all of whom were men of undoubted courage and natural leaders of their

people.

He occupied a peculiar position as chief. His Indian subjects believed that he had great influence with the whites, and they were constantly asking him to have their grievances re-

dressed.

On the other hand, (lens. Cr<*>k and Miles recognized that his sway was less disputed than that of any other Indian chief, and they used him to accomplish results which, without him, could only have been secured by threats and hard lighting. He recognized the great strength of the whites, and became a wise mediator. He was also possessed of exceptional ability, and saw that there was greater honor to himself and benefit to his people by living in peace, both with the white and the red men, than in being in constant conflict with them. At one time, he had a habit of going out on a hunt with a small force, meeting a superior force of Crows or Pawnees, giving them battle and coming off victorious. Hut about twelve years ago, he and a band of Sioux went to the Little Missouri on a buffalo hunt. Spotted Horse and Crazy Head, two of the biggest chiefs of the. Crows, were also there with a party of their people. Young-Man-Afraid, instead of fighting his hereditary enemies, arranged a peace treat}’, and since that time the two nations have been the best of friends. He recognized the fact that with the disappearance of the buffalo the Indian of the plains would no longer be able to resist the advance of civilization, and, although a great buffalo hunter, he made a strong effort to preserve that animal. Hut when its extermination was assured, he advocated peace with the whites, and was ever friendly with them, although sometimes strongly tempted otherwise. In 1890 and 1891, when the Messiah craze was at its height, and the Sioux were engaged in ghost dances, the dead chief did not encourage them, and could not see that they would get any benefit from their actions, but he held that no one had a right to interfere with them unless they committed some act of violence. He was absent at the time of the battle of Wounded Knee, but returned soon afterward, and cast the weight of his great influence with the Indians

for peace.

When he went baclr to his peopla after his first visit to Washington, in 1876, he described to them what he had seen and heard on the journey. He told thorn about the iron horse which carried him. They understood all that. It was white man's medicine, lie told them about talking wires (telegraph), and they understood that also; it was white man's magic. Hut when he told them about buildings six and seven stories high, that was too much, and ho would iiave to take it back. Hut he would not, and, as they could not doubt his ’ sincerity, they came to the conclusion that the whites had given him a draught to drink which had bewitched him. For a time there was much talk of getting a new chief. Tiio Sioux believe thul Young-Man-Afraid-of-Ilis-Horses had,some brothers living. An effort will be made to find them, and if it is successful one of them will be made the chief by natural law. If the search is a failure, there will be an election for the chief, in which all the Sioux people will engage. Maximilian's Huso. Apropos of the recent train robberies an old story told on Maximilian is recalled: When Maximilian wasemperoy of Mexico he broke up train robberies by a trick. lie disguised three hundred soldiers as peasant women and placed them on a train. A gang of bandits stopped the engine, when the three hundred disguised soldiers rose and fired a volley that killed one hundred robbers. After that the trains were not molested.

Massachusetts Has Twenty Cities, Each UavliiK Over 20,000 Copulation. Virginia and half of the states in the union combined show no more cities of over twenty thousand inhabitants than arc to be found in Massachusetts. This fact is not readily apparent from the census .Vmlietins thus far issued, says the New York Evening Post, as in none of them are cities having a less population titan twenty-five thousand ranged according to their population rank. The fact is also so surprising that few persons will believe it without proof. Hut there is no place at all with so many inhabitants as twenty thousand in nine states—viz., Vermont, Mississippi, Nevada, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota. Nine states again have each no more than one town numbering over twenty thousand people. Those states are New Hampshire, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oregon. Four other states —Maine, Nebraska, Colorado and Washington—count each only two cities that have passed the twenty thousand limit. These three classes of states amount to twenty-two; that is, half the whole number of the United States, and seventeen is the total of their cities with each a census upward of twenty thousand. Twenty such cities, however, are in the roll of Massachusetts. These are Boston, Worcester, Lowell, Fall River, Cambridge, Lynn, Lawrence, Springfield, New Bedford, Somerville, Holyoke, Salem, Chelsea, Haverhill, Brockton, Taunton, Gloucester, Newton, Malden, Fitchburg. Three cities of this size and no more appear in the census of Virginia—viz., Richmond, Norfolk and

Petersburg.

VICTORIA’S CROWN. It Is Worth a Million and a Half of

Dollars.

The crown worn by Victoria weighs nearly two pounds, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. It comprises more than 3,000 precious stones set in various designs. The most prominent gem is the ruby given to Edward, the black prince, by Pedro, king of Castile. It is in the front of the crown, set in a Maltese cross composed of seventy-five large diamonds. The lower part of the crown band contains a row of 129 pearls, the upppr part 112. Between them and in front is a large sapphire. Hack of that again is a smaller sapphire surrounded by six others and eight emeralds. Between the two larger sapphires are designs contain ing 286 diamonds. Above the band are eight more sapphires surmounted by eight diamonds, and the same number of festoons contain 160 diamonds. Besides the Maltese cross there are three others around the upper part of the croA’n containing 386 diamonds, and between the four are four ornaments, each with a ruby in the center and containing respectively 84, 80, 85 and 87 diamonds. From the crosses rise four arches composed of oak leaves and acorns, the leaves containing 728 diamonds. The thirty-two acorns are each of a single pearl, and are set in cups made of fifty-four diamonds. Above the arches stands the mound, containing 558 diamonds, and above the mound is the cross, containing very large sapphire, four very large and 108 smaller diamonds. All the stones are genuine, and not, as in some other Enropcan cr*wns, colored glass, which lias replaced the genuine stones. The crown entire is valued at £1,500,000. MARKED BY THE DEVIL’S HOOF. Tho Strang:*) Story Told by an Old Negro In MiAstwirl. Henry Rice, an aged negro who re sides, or did, not more than a year ago, at Rolla, this state, says the St. Louis Republic, makes what is probably the most remarkable claim that ever came from the mouth of a human being viz.: That he had sold his soul to the devil and that his Satanic majesty scaled the bargain by putting his trade mark on the negro's breast. In support of this preprosterous statement Rico exhibits a deep scar situated directly over the heart, which appears to have been burned deep into the flesh with a branding iron about the shape and size of the hoof of a two-year-old heifer. This scar, the old negro declares, is the print or mark of the devil's hoof, and that it is a memorial of a compact which he made with the king of the sulphurous regions away back in slavery days. According to the termsof the contract the negro is to have supernatural powers over his race during tho few fleeting days that he remains a tenant on earth, and that when b’1 is over his soul is to go—not to God, who gave it, but to the devil, who has marked it as his own. When Rice and the devil had settled on the conditions outlined above the lessee of the negro’s soul placed his cloven hoof over the heart of the wicked old African and left its indelible impress as evidence of his future proprietary right to burn the old man to his heart's

content.

The Hereditary Bootjack. The venerable countess of Rothes, who has just died, had the right to perforin a ceremony on any occasion when the sovereign of Scotland visited the kingdom of Fife which might have given iter the title of “hereditary grand bootjack.” By an old feudal custom the head of the Rothes family when the king returned to F alkland palace from the hunt had to pull off the royal boots and invest the royal feet in ease-giving slippers. Royalty does not often visit Fifeshire nowadays, but when the queen paid her first visit to theTay bridge the countess claimed and was allowed her ancient privilege. A small temporary platform was erected by the side of the railway a few miles from C’oupar Fife, and here the royal train stopped for a few minutes. Her majesty shook hands with the countess and the latter handed a pair of sewed slippers to the queen, the act of taking off the royal boots being understood tp be covered by the presentation of th*

Slippers.

Remarkahlo IntelltKonco of an Kng«

lUh Mastin'.

More than forty years ago, in 1851, I visited a party of friends in tho Bendigo gold fields in Australia, where I was cordially welcomed. Among the valued possessions of my friends, says a writer in St. Nicholas, was an English mastiff, which belonged to one of tiie gentlemen. The good understanding between myself and the mastiff appeared to have become so well established during the evening, that on the next day I left the claim where my friends were at work to fetch a kettle of tea from tho tent, without the least misgivings as to my reception by him. “Rex,” who was always allowed to run loose, came forward to meet me. He allowed me to stroke his head, and, so far as I could see, showed no interest in my movements as I entered tho tent and took a drink of the tea. Hut, when I started to leave the tent with the kettle in my hand, imagine my astonishment when 1 saw the supposed friend Rex facing me, and showing his teeth in a very threatening way. I put down the kettle, seated myself on the edge of the camp-bed and spoke to him. He wagged his tail and looked so friendly that I thought I must have made a mistake about his intentions. Not at all. The moment I attempted to leave the tent with tile kettle, I had reason to know that Rex’s broad grin was no mere notion, but, on tho contrary, a real sign that he was true to his trust as lie understood it. I talked to him again, set down tho kettle, and attempted to leave without it. Still Rex objected. He had his doubts, and determined to give his masters the benefit of them. There was no help for it; I was held prisoner, and could do nothing but sit down and wait patiently for one of the party to come to my relief. No one came until nearly an hour later, by which time my long absence hod caused my i friends to suspect that I was being held prisoner by Rex. I bore the dog no grudge for his faithful zeal, and in a few days found he would let me come and go, and take whatever I wished. A DUCK’S SENSE OF DIRECTION. The Fowl la Net ns Dull aa la Commonly

Supposed.

According to James Payne, who writes in the Illustrated London News, the duck lias been supposed to bo the dullest of all birds, so much so as to reply in the aflirmative to the invitation: "Dilly, dilly, come and be killed.” A correspondent in New Zealand supplies me, however, with an anecdote to the contrary: “I live on tho shore of the harbor, and I have a friend who dwells on the opposite shore eleven miles from me in a straight line. He lives up a narrow creek, and in coming to my place ho has to pass a number of other creeks on either side, then several islands and finally to cross a stretch of open water about four miles across, where a swift tide runs and where there is often a heavy sea. A few weeks ago this friend came to see mo and brought with him as a present a common drake which had been bred on his place and had never been a hundred yards from the house. It came over in the bottom of the boat, where it could see nothing but the sky, with its legs tied. When he gave it to me I turned it adrift with my own ducks and thought no more about it. and, in fact, 1 never saw it again. When I saw my friend, however, some time after, he told me that on the morning after his visit to me he was awakened by a great commotion and quacking in his duokyard, and on going out to see what was the matter he saw the drake which lie had brought oven te nae waddling up. to the in-

closure in rather a fravel-worn condition, while liis brethren were welcoming him as one restored to them from the dead.” Considering what this drake aecom- j plished, my correspondent justly con- | siders his achievement entitled to he j coupled with that of the other circum- j navigator, his namesake. CEYLON BUTTERFLIES. A Traveler's Visit to Their flreoillng

Grounds.

“It has always been a great puzzle to naturalists,” says the Westminster Budget, “where the Ceylon butterflies go at a certain time of year. You see them Hying over your house and garden in thousands and tens of thousands in one direction, towards the north. This goes on for six weeks or two months, and then they all disappear. Once, when traveling with my sister in the north of the island, we came to a lonely station, and while breakfast was being prepared we went for a walk in the jungle. When we got about two hundred yards in we heard a curious sound, like a soft, low, continuous whistle. It is never oversafe to go too far into a jungle, and strange sounds are apt to make you hesitate for a moment. I asked my sister to stay behind, and crawled slowly on in tho direction whence tho Bound proceeded, and there, in an opening in the jungle, I found myself surrounded by one solid mass of brown and yellow butterflies. They were assembled by the hundreds and thousands over a large square, and ten feet high from the ground. So dense was this fluttering mass of insects that you coultl iiave taken them by armfuls had you been so minded. The sound proceeded from the movement of the innumerable wings. No doubt the jungle was their breedingplace.” Gompenn&ti(ig Circumstances. Woman’s exceeding fondness for shopping is not always an affliction to man. A dutiful husband who had promised to meet his wife in a large establishment where all sorts of things were sold at low prices was making his way through tho throng of women. Forced to pause for a moment near a counter behind which stood a pretty saleswoman, he blurted out: “Is there anything on earth that would reconcile a man to such a crowd as this?” “Yes, sir,” was the quick reply. “Belonging to the firm.” A Chinese Columbus. The belief in a Chinese Columbus was first allowed by scholars only about fifty years ago. The claim is that a Buddhist priest in the fifth century crossed the Pacific to this country ami returned, making a written report of his discovery. The report still exists. It was translated into French in 1791 by M. de Guignes. It gave a narrative of a voyage eastward by a priest for twenty thousand li, where he found a country which he named Pusang. People similar to the Indians were described, as well as American plants. The only doubt about the matter is as to the distance meant by twenty thousand li. The priest may have only reached some island in the Pacific ocean. Thin and impure blood is made rich and healthful by taking Hood.s Sarsaparilla. It braces up Lie nerves and gives renewed
