The final votes stood nine 'for conviction and three for acquittal. Judge Truthill, before whom the case was tried, says it may be so difficult to get a proper jury that Luetgert may never be tried again, the Etowah (or Hightower river, as we called it.) My eldest brother, Perry Thompson, was the interpreter for the nation a longtime. My father's sister, Nancy, joined the mission when she was only fifteen years old.

She followed them to the territory and kept up her mission work there, and spent a long and useful life and died in her eighty-fourth year. When BoUdinot was killed she was standing on the porch very early in the morning and saw a man running as if for his life, and two men pursuing him. They sbon caught him and killed him and ran away as fast as they could go. She hurried to the man and found it was Boudinot. "There were several families who had Indian blood in their veins who did not go west with the tribe.

The Lynch family was part Cherokee. Barella Lynch Lowry Williams. I expect you knew him. They had but one child and she was namedi Cherokee. She married Robert Wy-lie, a son of Clark Wylie.

I remember a good many Cherokee chiefs and braves, but can't spell their names for you. John Ross was not an Indian. His mother was a white woman and he left her up North when he came to the nation" and married an Indian wife. John Ridge was part Indian. I expect your friend George Adair is of Indian blood, for we.

had two Adair families there, Black Wat and Red Wat. They were cousins. When John Howard Payne was staying in the nation we saw him often. He named my little'sister Ann Payne. One of my sisters went to school with an Indian girl named Lizzie Shoe-boot and she taught my sister to swim.

The Cherokees called my father Connehana Thompson. My husband wishes me to prove my rights in the nation as one of them, but I have never done so. His name is R. D. Ivie and he was born in Lawrence-ville, Ga.

'Out of the fullness of the heart the mouth and this is my excuse for writing to you. Mrs. R. D. Ivie." Well, now, that is a good letter.

Hpw the chickens would come home irthey could. Next comes the advance sheets of "The Young People's History of Arkansas," written by my friend E. Porter Thompson, nOw at Frankfort, but long a resident and editor in Arkansas. The chapter on Colonel Elias Boudinot is full of interest and makes him a very remarkable man. His father's name was Kelle-kee-nah, but being abopted by Elias Boudinot, of New Jersey, took his name.

Boudinot sided with Ridge in regard to the treaty and Ross became his bitter enemy. Ross was a powerful vindictive and unscrupulous man; He had Boudinot and Major Ridge and John Ridge all assassinated. Colonel Elias C. Boudinot was born near Rome, August 1st, 1835. He was educated at anchester, Vt.

In .1855 he came toFayetteville, aud studied law with Hon. A. M. Wilson, was admitted to the bar in 1858 and soon rose to the front rank as an able lawyer and gifted speaker. In 1800 he became editor of The Democrat at Little Rock.

In 1861, after the state 'seceded, he and his cousin, fetanu wane, raised a regiment and fought the battle of Elk- horn. He was chosen as a member of the Confederate Congress in 1S63.1 After the battle of Elkhorn, Ross deserted the Confederacy and assail ed the Southern Cherokees for helping the Boudinot defended them with signal ability and delivered such a phillipic against his that he was consigned to- in famy. Some years ago Boudinot, by in vjtation of Senators and Representatives, delivered a lecture in Washington on the Indian race that made a profound impression. Judge Hal- lum says of him: "Some years ago he married a beautiful and accom plished lady of Washington. He is an able a polished and're-fined gentleman and is possessed of the most fascinating conversation powers.

He has" a most wonderful musicial talent and one-jpf the most charming voices ever given to men." Isn that splendid 1 wouldn mind being that sort of an Indian. I have many more historic letters, but this will suffice for this time. I have great reverence for these memories; they make up history that will soon pass into oblivion unless somebody records it. There is a house on the bank of The Ostana- uha river two miles above Rome that I have reverence for. It was built by Major Ridge nearly seventy years ago and is still a good old-fashioned two-story house.

It was built on hewn logs, but was long afterwards ceiled inside and weatherboarded. When I first knew it Colonel A. N. Verdery lived there. He was the father of Mrs.

Warren Akin, and she was married there to that eminent lawyer. Mrs. Akin's youngest brother was born in that house. This good- lady is the mother of Judge John W. Akin and she still lives in town and is full of many sweet and many sad memories.

My observation is that women have better mem ories than men, especially concern ing marriages, deaths, birth and the social statistics of their youthful days. Bill Arp. Reflections of a Bachelor. No man can be very lazy in a mosquito section. Before Love grew blind it became very far-sighted.

Very few know the weigh to a man's heart. No woman r. who believe in cook books believe in total depravity. It is a smart girl that can keep a man thinking long enough that he's only flirting with her. The trouble with women in politics is that they are always wanting to rip the government up and see if it will go bias.

Kespect For Authority; In civil life the rsame kind of re spect for authority as is maintained in a military establishment cannot be observed, but even ra civil life tnere should be respect for author ity. In the army-the private must ooey nis captain without question or hesitancy; the captain in his turn must yield implicit obedience to the coionei ot nis regiment, and the colonel must respect theauthority of the general-in-chief. The purpose of this discipline is to form the units of the command into an army or lesser'force moving with the precision of machin ery at the will of the commanding officer.

In civil life the units have more freedom of action; each within limit can assert his individuality, but even in civil life some have authority over others, and some degree of discipline tnust be maintained for the transaction of the most ordinary business. It has been urged in support of projects to -give military training to school children that it in-culates habits of obedience useful to them in civil life. Whether it has this effect, may be doubted, for the reason thatithe rigorous discipline of the army cannot be, or, at all events, is not, enforced in schools; but it is true that the military habits of prompt obedience and respect for authority are of value to 3'oung men in business life, aud they should cul-. tivate these habits. Sometimes they will 'be authorized to think and act for themselves; sometimes they will be obliged to assume responsibility in the absence of their superiors, and they may at times respectfully make suggestions when they think they have some knowledge superior: to that of their employers; but, they should at all times keep in mind! respect for authority and avoil being, officious.

Nothing is more anno3 intj than for one in authority who has settled upon some course of action -without mentioning it to his subordinates to find that one of these' has upset all his plans by officious interference. The employe's explanation that "he did not know, that he thought so, aggravates rather than excuses the offense, for if he did not know he should not have acted. linearly all business establishments one will. find some employe whose egotism and self-complacency lead him to inter fere with the affairs of other -people. In their absence he undertakes, pos sibly because of his good nature or devotion to the interests establishment, to transact their busi ness or answer for them in some wav.

Sometimes he is of assistance, and is, therefore, tolerated, but occasionally he does the wrorfg thing, and thus gives rise to troublesome complications. The officious young man. may nave respect for authority whie his super rior if present, but, in his absence, assumes to speak for the firm or cor-, poration and makes engagements or promises winch are wuony unauxno-rized. No matter how good his intentions may be, he becomes a nuis ance and thereby injures his prospects of promotion. The young man who is engagea in making icpu-tation in office or workshop should at least take some lessons from the military.

He should respect authority and yield prompt obediedce thereto, and should xiever answer or act for his superior unless authorized to do so. He will have many more thin trs left to be decided by bis own judgment than the common soldier, assert his individuality in many ways, but he should be ca-ref ul to keen within the bounds of his own authority and maintain Respect for those above him. lu this way ue will.come to deserve promotion, and mav some day be given theauthority which he cannot usurp without risk to his reputation. A Tower Two Thousand Feet High. 'William J.

FryeJ an architect of New York city, has drawn plans for a tower to commemorate the consolidation of Grqater New "York. The proposed tower is to 2,140 feet in height, ih all respects the most won-derlul structure in the world. The Eiffel tower in Paris is 9S4 feet high, nearly half that of the proposed observatory tower for New. York. The tower is to be twelve sided and built of steel.

The lowest portion will be 300 feet in diameter and will be flanked by four pavilion build-, ins, giving the structure a' bas; of na fMt Thp nnr.pr walls will be of cement and 'wirecloth. Internally the tower will be a labyrinth of steel columns, graders, beams, plates and other shapes in steely no particle of wood being used in construction or finish. Electric cars, with reserved motor power of compressed air, will run spirally around, the 100 foot central area, making a trip to the fifth floor from the top about two and one-half mile ride. "I envy her complexion," said ''But she freckles and tans so easily!" replied Mamie. "That's just it.

She can go to the seashore for a few days, and at the end of the season look.exactly as if she had been away all summer." Bill Tellg of an Old Book That Belonged to Bavid Black, of Atlanta. JNOw here is a book that is worth having. A book that is-24x18, inches and weighs twenty-five pounds. It is sixty-one years old, and has 120 large-sized plates of the most notable Indian chiefs, each plate covering a page and being accurate and griphic likenesses and all done in jcqlors, with the fuss and feathers ahcftribal utuaiueuis anu as nneiy execuiea in face and features as oil paintings. uiu not, Know inat inere was such a book or that such work could be done in those days.

Each plate has a bi ographical memoir accompanying, which is in large type so large that I can read it off-hand without glass es, ibis work seems to have been compiled from the records in the In dian gallery of the war department at Washington by Thomas M. JVlc Ivenney. The book I have is the property of Mr. David Black, of At lanta, and as it came down to him in the family I did not suppose there was another in the State, but my friend Joe M. Brown tells me that his brother Elijah has it, and also another volume, which I wish to see, ior mis one nas neither koss nor Osceola.

It has Ridge and Meln-tosh and other Creek and Cherokee chiefs, and Paddy Carr, the famous interpreter, whose father was Scotch-Irish and his mother an Indian. For many years he was in General Jack son's service and in government ser vice, and got rich and invested his money inland and negroes. A wat-ra friend of his had a beautiful daughter named Ariadne, and when Paddy's wife gave birth to twin girls he named one Ary and the other Adny. This book has a charming biogra phy of Maior Ridge, and makes him a very strong-minded and noble man. His likeness shows as much force and decision of character as does that of Webster or Calhoun, Indeed, some of the speeches made by the In dian chiefs in their long protracted discussions with the government aYe as pathetic, eloquent and unanswer able as-if-they came from Patrick Henry or any other great It is touching and tearf ul to read the pleading, poetical eloquence of Black Hawk and Keokuk and Tustenuggee and Major Ridge and Big Warrior.

Ross was bitterly hostile to Ridsre and his policy and iii order to alarm the Indians he got a half-breed nam ed Charles to pretend to come down from some far-off mountain with a message to them trom the ureat Spirit. Charles said: "The Great Spirit is angry with you. lie tells me that vou are following the cus: toms of the white people; that you have already gotten mills and clothes and feather beds and books and cats yes, cats and, therefore the buffalo and other game are fastdisappear- mg. The Great Spirit is angry, and says you must cut short your frocks and kill your cats and give up your mills and quit living in houses, and then your game will come back." This excited the Indians very much, and thev cried out thatthe talk was good. Ridge arose with anger in his face and voice and said:" lhe talk is no.

good. It is false. It did not come from the Great Spirit." The Indians rushed upon him with fury and a wild fight and some ot his trienas were staooea, but Ridge was a very powerful man and defended himself with great tumult was quieted and Jesse Vaun and and some old men a reconciliation. courage, lhe after a time, John Harris brought about There was much trouble all along those years. I have a long letter from Mr.

R. M. Edwards, a venerable lawyer of Cleveland, Tenn. He says: in my youtn spent many happy days fishing, hunting and playing with, the Indian boys oi the Ocoee district in east Tennessee and among the many sad scenes of an uneventful life, one of the saddest was to see my little play fellows start on their long land weary jour- ney to the west. They left the most beautiful- country I ever beheld.

it resembled more a magnificent park than a forest, owing to their tribal custom of burning the woods to keep down the undergrowth. It is singular that ao great a concourse of people fourteen to sixteen thous and could bes gathered up by force as it were and removed, giving through Tennessee, Kentucky, Indi ana and Missouri, They crossed the Tennessee at Blythe's below the mouth of the Hiwassee; then crossed the Cumberland range at Pikeville, then to Sparta, Lebanon and Nashville; then crossed the Cumberland river, and next came the Ohio and Vincenues; then on the Mississippi, which they found frozen over, and had to wait a month for the ice to break, and finally reached Tallaquah in April, 1839. "In the debates in Congress great opposition was made to this treaty by John Q. Adams and Henry A. Wise, and it was stated on the floor by one of these men that John Ross was arrested by the State of Georgia and carried to Milledgeville and his "house was robbed-of ten thousand dollars while he was gone.

The speakers very severely criticised President Jackson for his ingratitude to Ross, who served him so faithfully at the battle of Horseshoe." This old gentleman is full of memories of those Indian times, and says that there is yet living at Charleston, Mr. II. B. Henniger, who accompanied the great cavalcade all the way to their home in the west. And here is a characteristic letter from an old lady living in Myrtle, Tex.

She says: "Excuse an old woman for trying to write. to you about Indians that you have been telling us of, and as I was born and raised in the Cherokee nation, I will venture to tell you some things that may interest vou.
