AS E1KLT JIEBB13IA, CD1T0B. "A few days ago," Mid Secretary Morton, "I received a letter trom a .historical octet in Kanwui asking - for iuforuiation ad to a challenge to fight a duel which was supposed to -.have leen touod by Jim Lane to - Gen. Doniphan, who, In the daysof " the old border war between Karsas and MUsouri, lived at the town of , Weston, In I'latte county, Mo. - "Whilo I had no recollection of any such challenge, the name of Jim Laue brought vividly to my mind 4 another occasion when challenges t were issued, but which had Its begin- - uing by a very sincere desire on the part of Jim Lane and several of his I people to bang me. .. "Like a celebrated New Yorker I am a democrat. Not only that, I have been a democrat in active oper- ..aliou for the last forty-two years, which will easily carry one back to 1853. My Jim Lane experience oc- eurred in 1856. 1 was the editor and owner, in fact I was about all there " was to a little paper published in my town In Nebraska. My only adber- .ut, a far as work In the office and ; couponing room went, was a boy about 13 years old. This boy wn my printer, my local force, and fre quently my business manager, lie was likely to do everything about the paper except write the editorials, That honor I reserved for myself, as I meant that the utterances of the paper should be very profound. "It chanced that when the free soil people were coming into Kansas they found it easier and taster I ravel ing to come through Iowa and cross the Missouri river Into Nebraska and then go south to Kansas. Ij was ; iii)xisMible for , them lo cross Missouri, which was filled with their foe, ' Old 1 John Brown, I believe, ..was the only one of the free Boilers who ever attempted it. Old Brown came straight through Missouri. - "Ordinarily the free soilers were a reputable looking set of people. But one day In 1850 Jim Lane came into our town with about as hard an out fit of 'emigrants' at his hack as it was ever my lot to see. They were a tough, criminal set. if one might Judge from their appearance, "They camped several days in our I ........ 11 . i S. . I. ..1 iuwu rviiiijiiK iur menr jitfgrcrm lutu Kansas. They were all men, and all "Iiad Ihorses'or wagons. Their hard looks and rather violent behavior led ; mo to write an editorial about them. I got up what I intended should be a very sarcastic article, and from the effect It had upon tkem I should say It was. If I remember rightly I said something to the effect that, to Judge from the markings and ap pearances of this consignment of free sollers, it had its emanation in some penal institution of the East. I ar gued that there should be no falling off of such a supply, as almost all of the Eastern penitentiaries, to say nothing of the Eastern cities, would be very glad to keep it up. The criminal classes everywhere might be successfully sent to Kansas and the free soil effort might be utilized to make of Kansas another Botany Bay. All this, of course, I based en tirely on the way the Jim Lane crowd then In town looked and acted. I didn't pretend It was In any sort a description of free sollers generally, but Just simply matched this particu lar crowd then in town . "It was the dav after the uaner came out, and I was sitting in ray office feeling proud of my work. The faithful youth I have mentioned was perched on a stool setting type. We were in the same room for the reason that there was only one room 4o the entire Institution, which occU' pied the second story over a store, As I sat at my desk thinking up an editorial for the next issue a shadow fell across the room and I looked up. The shadow came from one of Jim .Lane's importations, lie was a tall, Uothic, raw-boned-looking proposl lion, shaggy as a buffalo, and w ith what I deemed a very evil and fero cious look. , lie carried a copy of my paper ; In one baud and a large slx- flhooter in the other. Sticking the paper under my nose, he pointed at the editorial, using the barrel of his pistol to that end, and asked hoarsely. "'Did you write that?' will hav to read it,' I said diplomatically, 'beore I can answer that question.' "I . took the paper and told my ' visitor to sit down. Ho said it wasn't necessary, that he would etand up while I read the article and settled the vexed question of its authorship. Thereupon I proceeded to read the editorial In question aloud, and very slowly, as one has to do, or at least should do, when tlie question of who wrote the article is becoming important. "Of course I was thinking hard all . the time I was reading. 1 was fig uring on the distance to the door and my chance of getting down the pair of stairs It led to before my visitor should shoot. It seemed a dessrate chance, but I hated awfully to he obliged to take anything back I had written, and was willing to awuine some slight risk to avoid it. As af fairs stood, the man with the gun had me trwtl. I had no pistol my Mlf, and wasn't likely to (all heir to I one during hi visit. The situation was very disagreeable. I have had some visits which worried me since I have been secretary of agrk-ulture, but none that compared with this. "When I got to the end of my acathlng editorial -1 turned mildly and interrogatively to my' visitor. "You are one of Mr. Lane's peopled I asked, pleasantly. M,Y,'. , . "You want to know who wrote this art S lef . . Yes, sir,' he retorted rather sav agely, I want to know if you wrote that article,' and again he pointed to the offensive effort with his pistol. " 'Well,' I said at last, as calmly as I might, 'I wrote the article my self. Why, what' the matter with lt? M We won't stop to discus what'i the matter with it,' said my caller; 'it's simply come to this: 'You've got to take it back in the next issue, or we'll fix you so you won't write any more.' " 'Take It back?' I asked. "You've got to write an article and take the square back track,' re peated my caller with an ominous wave of his pistol. We're not going to stand any stuff of this sort.' "Jt was at this point I made dash for the door. I believe I re marked at the time that I would be back la a moment, pending which he might talk to my boy. The fel low didn't seem Inclined to shoot; he hadn't been West long enough.. Ho be simply ran after me to the door which opened to a pair of stairs which led down the outside of the building to the ground, and hailed his companions In the street. There were four or five of them sitting on their horses and holding the horse of any caller. There was another horse standing saddled in addition to his and I noticed a considerable coll of rope on the saddle. -1 didn't stop to ask, nor did I give the situation much study at the time, but I've always had a strong Impression that the second horse with the coll of rope on the saddle was for me. . Just as 1 lied down the stairs the fellow who had come in with the pistol yelled to his companions: " 'Stop that man ; he's the editor, "I be information was correct as far as it went, and the men In the street did their best to act on it. But 'the editor' was too much in hurry for them. Before they could iiet to the foot of the stairs or head me off I had entered the store below by a side door, and passing through the store with earnest swiftness I left it and crossed over to the house of a man named Orton. This Orton was Jackson democrat; a -Tennesseean by birth. One of bis boasts was that he had once slept with Andrew Jackson, when they both chanced to be at an over-crowded tavern some where down about Cumberland Gap, Orton had been long in the West, and was a hunter, a plainsman and a man of nerve. He also had a rifle with which he had made himself a great reputation as a shot. I hur riedly explained to Orton the purpose of J Lane's people to string , me up. i'he old man was very prompt and willing to go to war. , fie took down his rifle with the remark ; " 'I've killed a heap of varmints with this in my time, and I Jest as soon add one of these people to the list as not.' , "Then he sent over for another old fellow equally as violent and blood thirsty. He came over to Orion's, bringing his rifle. After a brief con sultation Orton and his friend formu lated a challenge, and sent it to Lane, offering to shoot it out with any two people in his outfit. The challenge was nut accepted, and as the free- sollers' vigorous methods looking to ward making me retract had by this time begun to attract general atten tion, they concluded to go no further with the enterprise. As a result, I did not retract, and the editorial Klicy of my paer was never dis graced by any contradiction. "That is the only challenge in which Jim Lane even remotely fig ured that I know anything about." Washington Post. ' HE KNEW WHITMAN. "rfettus Dick" knew Dr. Marcus Whitman well. lie was present B( the time of the massacre, but did not see the doctor killed, gays the Wslla Walla Union. "Kettus Dick" is an Indian belong ing to the Yakima tribe, who Is now In Walla Walla, along with the cara van of other red men that pay the city semi-annual visits about the time of each McsNion of the United Mtak court, lie is nearly one hundred years of age, but quite robust and ac tive for his age. His are is covered with a beard, which is now turning gray, and phe him a venerable a p Ktrance hot characteristic of the race. "Dick" claims to have been lorn in the Walla Walla valley and grew to manhood before he ever saw a white man. "Many jeurs ago," he eniil to a Union reHrter through an interpreter, "there was a great famine among the Indian trilxs in this coun try, owing to a long and cold winter and the great chiefs held many couu) cils about where the city now stands. A great many Indians died of hun ger and cold, i hat was many years before a white man set foot on th! soil. Your oldest iiioneers are but new-comers compared to me." "Do you know why the Indians killed Dr. Whitman?" was a.ked. The Interpreter repeated the que Uon to him, and the old man in broken sentences replied i "Dr. Whitman seemed angry be- cauie the Indians did not want to be. lieve In (lod. Then one day he took something out of a bottle and put it in water and gave it to the Indian to drink. Tliey did drink, and some of them died. Others were very sick, but recovered. Then one Indian said he would kill Dr. Whitman for poi soning the Indians, and he did. I was thereat the time, but did not see him killed." Say, why d.m't you try De Wilt's Little Early Ilisers?

Mrs. Sheridan is still a youn? woman, writes V.Stuart Mby Cole man, from Washington, D. C, in November Ladies' Home Journal. She is slender, almost girlish In fig ure, and dresses with exqulsita Juste In dark colors. She Is graceful and willowy, and carries her dainty head with an air of aristocratic ease. Her dark hair waves slightly into a bo- coinlnir bauir. her eyes are brown and bright while tho contour of he faco Is a iklieaUeovui. In nwnne she Is blmple and kindly, her birth and brcetliug showing plainly lu the ease with which she meets ull of her social du ties and the tact of her cor dial beacing. Mrs. Sheridan is ratlu retiring, and is devoted to her home and children. She orders the couduc of her household, even to the do'.ails, aud personally superintends the studies of her sou, who bears the name of his Illustrious father, of whom he is a speaking likeness. She finds time, also, to indulge her tastes for music and painting, for fane needlework, and for the de mauds of charities. Until within a year or two Mrs. Sheridan has en ter tained rarely, except i the way of small dinner-parties and informal evenings for friends. The Sheridan children are a bright and Interesting group. There are four of them: Mary, the eldest, who was presented to society last winter: the twins, Irene and Louise of whom the general was so proud who will make their social debut during the present season, aud i'liil Jr., who is nearing his fourteenth birthday. The girls are Just such daughters as might, be esscted of such a mother; pleasant, affable, well- mannered, well-educated, sweet and simple; full of life and spirit. In young 1'hil great hopes are centered He goes to school in Washington, but when be is old enough his moth er will have him sent to West Polut HOW THE FATHER WAS WON An Oregonlan reporter has heard that not a thousand miles from Port land residea couple who are the proud parents of a healthy, chier, 4-yeur old boy, who, like all youngsters of that age, occasionally gets into a scrape and 'needs disciplining. The burden of tiie the disciplining fulls upon the mother, for the father who Is a Jovial, big-hearted fellow, was a boy once himself, an advantage his belter-half never enjoyed, and he in consequently inclined to pai-s lightly over the faults or follies efhis son and heir, and has often Interposed butwecn him and his mother, and, by pleading and making promises for the youngster, saved him from well merited chastismeut. For this reason the little chap has come to look upon the head of the house as a stav and strong defense in times of trouble. and firmly believes that a boy's best friend is his father. A day or two since, the youngster committed a breach of the rules of order so flagrant that he was ordered up at once for condign punishment. He realized that his offense was t-o grave that no amount of coaxing or promising could stave off the whipping he felt that he deserved, and, his father not being at hand, when his mother approached him, switch in hand, he bolted and sought safety under an outbuilding which stood on a slope and was supported on posts. In the farthest point he could reach he made himself com fortable, and waited for his mother's anger to cool. Presently lijs father came home, aud his mother explained the situation to him, and begged him, In the interest of discipline and the future welfare of the child, to bring him out of his hiding place aud let him be profrly punished. Heuli- ing the gravity of the situation, the father crawled under the building to get (he boy, who, seeing his father, and never imagining that he would go back on him, sang out : "Hello! is she after you, too?" That settled the question of pun ishment, and the boy and his father fter going Into a committee of ways and means for a time, emerged to gether, and put up a plea which, hack ed by their appearance, cover d wiih piderwebs and dirt, secured an ac quittal for the culprit. 1 A PREHISTORIC Tl'SXtL. A few weeks ago a number of well nown residents of Butte left here on prospecting expedition to the Big Hole country, says a Butte, Montana, paper. Among the iiumlicr were W. Clark and Thomas J. Howard. They are men of uniiiq eaibablu ver racily, who number their friends by the hundreds in this city. This lat ter statement Is jsThsps made neces sary by what is to follow. The gentlemen returned to Butte last evening, aud Unlay filed for rec ord a location notice of the Catalpa lode claim, which the notice says Lj located throe miles south of Divide station on Fleecer mountain, a jsir- Hon of country that has net been prospect il very thoroughly on ac count of the large amount of snow in that lix-nlity during the summer months. The remarkable p:irt of the locating of this claim is the statement of the locators that they discovered a tunnel fully fifty feet long, which Ins bean driven into the mountain appar ently several years ago. In prosiK-ctinir along the side of the mountain the men found ..(. pieces of irood-lookinir copper ore in a hollow which thev at first siiiummsI bad been a buffalo wallow in thl.!n"U"'snes wonders n the course days when those animals r mm-d the prairies of the Big Hole country. The prospectors, believing that there was a lead somewhere In Ihe vicinity, began to dig in the mountain side. After an hour's bard labor they were considerably surprised to find the eurth suddenly yield to the blows of tho pick and a big bole loom up be fore them. They cleared away the earth and entered a tunnel about six feet high and fjur feet wide, walled in with blocks of stone. The top of the tun nel was protected by large flat stones, and for alout twenty-five feet there was not a break in the primitive tim bering. About twenty-five feet from the mouth of this tunnel the pros pec tors came to a spot where the earth Lad apH.reutly broken down the stone-work, and after clearing away the debris the men were enabled to go In about twenty-five or thirty feet further. Here they came to a I. ..1 ... 1. 1 . .1, V. . 1 1 - I 1 cumin, nui as io wnai was discovered there the men will say nothing, except that they found some Implements made of aiviir. nuiLii iinu Liirarcuiiy vwu i used in driving the tunnel.

It proposes slrap'y and plainly to dis franchise all if tho colored voters. and make it f ucvir lmpoiljle for the negro race to plnytny nait In the politics of the state. Tl.cro is pretense, to bo sure, of cpplyiug edu cational and property te-t, but in fact the mutter id eo arranged that the election officers can arbitrarily restrict tho right of voting to white citizens. Tbero is no concealment of the main deia iu t!.o a-e. Senator Tillman, who is the real author of the plan, boldly declares that the I ' ,0, votenj ore to M unfranchised because of the political extravagance and malfeasance of reconstruction I, fof wlk.h h firo re sponsible. He acknowledges, furth ermore, that the whites have already practically nullified the constitution of the Uulted Stales by fraud and violonra In an far ns it !nnrnnteu lh rigM of mttngv trt tllo Wjiekfc ,.w ,,. ...

Itizi-nshi., hvil It Is the nljwt of thepre-ent plan I to legalize this wIioIimiIo disfran chlsement, and n.ake it the tixei: j policy of the state. "The only thing that we can. do," exclaims Tillman "is to take from the negroes every ballot that we can under the laws of the United States"; and it remains to he seen if said laws will permit such an outrage to he perpetrated as that which he and his associates have de cided upon, mere can oe no uouoi about the fact that the colored voters of South Carolina are to be disfran chised solely on account of their color. It is not proposed to establish given qualifications for whlto ami black alike, by which Ignorance and corruption could be excluded, but to exact certain things of the blacks which are not exacted of tho whites, This is clearly iu violation of the constitution of the United States, which provides that "the. right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." The Till manltes have determined, in other words, to do what the highest law of the land says that neither tho United States nor any state shall do. Con gress is autiioriz'd to enforce this prohibition by appropriate legisla tion ; and certainly some way should be found to prevent a state from making an oligarchy of itself by tak ing away from a majority of ilsciti zens the right to participate in Its elections merely br cau-.e they belong to a race that was once held in bondage.
