} i STORY OF TREMBLING HA General Brisbin Tells a Wild Weird Tale of the Border. A BEAUTIFUL WYOMING LEGEND, ‘Which, if Not True, Ought to be True on Account of the Fine Moral it Contains, Crazy Woman's Fork. Fort N1osrara, Neb., Junc 10, 1886, — Correspondence of the Beg. ]—When we ast parted with the render wo were oamped on the Big Beard river, or Crazy Woman's fork of Powder river, and pro- mised we would relate the legend of how the valley and stream received their strange name, It was a besutiful stream, broad, roll- ing and shaded by cottonwood t . On the bank in a clump of these, completely shutting out the hot raye of the sun, stood our camp, The valley along the river was wide and fertile and focks of prairic hens and ducks rose from the long grass and flew away in all directions. Dedr, antelope and elk bounded over the hills, and far in the distance could be seen a drove of what we took to be wild horses. 1 could not help wondering how soon this wild scene would be changed, and the smoke of the white man’s cabin ascend all along the rich valley. Alrerdy I saw, in imagination, grain growiag on the Blopes, farm houses nestling among the trees, a village in_the great bend of the reat stream, and I thought I could hear the tinkiing of cow-bellg, the inugh of lit- tlo children at play and the solemn toll- ing of church:bells. E.’l Frombe had told Belden the legend of the Crazy Woman and Belden toid it to me. I shall relate it just as I heard it, neither vouching for its truth nor deny ing its probability, The story is quite probable and not more strange than many other legends told of the mess. D OF CRAZY WOMAN. y s ago,” said La Frombe to Bolden, “i visited this spot with a band of Crows, and one cvening a venerable Indian told us this legend of Crazy Woman. ‘Yeers ago,’ he said, ‘when my father was a little boy, there came among us aman who was half white. He said he wished to trada with our people for buffalo robes, beaver, elk and doer skins, and that he would g us much paint, y blankets and pieces of cloth in for furs. We liked him and be- lieved him very good, for he was rich having many thousands of beads and hundreds of yards of ribbons. Our vil- Ingo was then built on the river, about twenty miles above where we are now, and game was plentiful. This river did not at thut ti the name of Crazy ‘Woman, but was lled Big Beard, cause a curious grass grows along its banks that has a big beard. What I’ am about to relute caused the name of the river to be changed. *“The trader built a lodge of wood and stones, and near it a great, strong house, 1n which he kept all his immense wealth, It was not long until he had bought all the robes and furs for sale 1n the village, and then he packed them on ponies and, bidding us good-bye, snid he was going far to the cast, wliere the paleface Tives, but that he would soon com bring us many presents, nml()h»m,\- of blankets, beads and ribbons, which he would ¢ change as before for robes and furs. We ‘were sorry to see him go, but, ashe prom- ised to return in a few moons, we ‘were much consoled. It was not long until our spies reported something they could not understand coming into our country, and the whole village was in a great state of alarm. Some of the boldest ventured out and re- turped with the joyful intelligence that the strange ubjeots our young men had seen were the trader and his people. All the village ran to meet him, and the sight was strange enou';lx, indeed. The Crows in those days had never seen a wagon horse or ox, and the trader had brought all these things. The wagons they called teepeces on rollers; the horses ‘were giants beside the little ponies, and the oxen all believed were tame buifalo, There also was a squaw, who was per- fectly white. and who could not under- #tand anything that was said to her. Bhe wore dresses down to her feet, of which she seemed to be ashamed, and ‘our women said sho tied cords tightly about her waist, so as to make it small. 8he had very long hair, and did notvlal but rotled it, and, instead of letting it hang down, wrapped it tightly about her head. “It was not long until the trader had all his wagons unloaded, and his store open. He had brought all the women beads and ribbons, and the men brass rings. Besides what he sold,he made mauy presents; so everybody loved him, for no one had ever before seen so rich and gencrous a man, “'One dnfl, he told the big chief to come into the back part of the store and he would show him something wonderful, ‘The chief went, wondering what it could be, and when they were alone, the trader drew out a very little barrel, and taking a wooden cup, poured out some black- looking water, whioh he told the chief to drink. " The chief did as desired, and im- mediately felt so jclly he asked for more, The trader promised, if he would never tell any one where he yot the black water, he would give him all he wanted The chief rrnmiund, and the trader g him another cupful. Now the echief danced and sang, and went to his lodge, where he fell down in a deep sleep, and no one could wake him. He slept so long, the warriors gathered about the lodge wondering what could ail him, and they were about to go to the trader and demand to know what kind of medicine he had given the chief to make him be- have so strangely, when the chief woke up and ordered them all to their lodges, and to ask no questions. day the chief went to the and said he had had great i that he thought he had slain t his enemies, and that the black medicine must ba very good to make him have such pleasant visions. He begged the trader to give him some more, and he did so. Thus the chief did every day, and all the village wondered, for they belioved the trader had bewitched him. In former times the chief had been a uiet and very dignified man, but now he sang, danced in the sire i pub- liely qufi.’vd the women, so one '.fioughl im er: The Crows disliked the conduct of the chief very much, and began to grumble against the trader, for thoy thoughit he was to blame for the ‘1’“‘ change that had come over their chief, Some said he was bewitched, others that the trader had an el spirit in one of his boxes, and thus they talked, some believing one thing and some another, but all blaming him. One of the young warriors called a seeret coun- ¢il, and the matter was discussed, and 1t " was finally decided that the trader must Jeave or they would put him to death. A warrior, who was a great friend of the trader, was sent to tell him of the de- cision of the eouncil, and when he did so the trader laughed, and said if he would eome into the back of the store, and ver tell anybody, he would show m what ailed the chief. The warrior went, and the trader gave him a ladle full of the black water. Presently Le be- gan to sing and dance about, and then went out into the street and sang, which greatly surprised every one, for he had mever done so before.” The dounz.meu thered about him, and asked him 'whut fi‘d bim, but he only said, ‘Ob, go to the trader and get some of the black water!" So they went to the trader and inquired what {iml of black water he hnr:ll that a ed people so strangely; and the trader told them he had only the same kind of water they drank, " and brought his pail that all might drink Each warrior took up the ladle and drank the sume, and made the trader drink the same, and then they sat down to wait and see if it would affect them like the chief and their brother warrior; but it did not and they rose up and_said, ‘The trader or our brother lies, and we will see who is the liar.! They went to the warrior's lodge and found him sound asleep, nor could they wake him, and the others'went_to their teepees, When the sun was up the warrior rose, and, seein, the others sitting in his tent, =aid, ‘Why are you here, my _broth- ers?” And " the " oldest " of ~ the two warriors replied, ‘You have lied to us, for the trader has no black water.” The warrior recollecting his promise not to tell, so ‘[t i8 true that the trader has no black water, and who said he had?' They explained to him his con- duct of the day before, at which he was greatly astonished, and he declared if such the case e must have been vory siek in his head and not known what he had said, Thereupon the warriors with- and reported all to their brethren. » warriors were greatly perplexed, and knew not what to do or think, but decided to wait and sce. *‘The chief and warrior were now drunk every day, and the young chief called another council. It was long and stormy in its debate, all the wise men speaking, butno one giving such counsel as the others would accept. At last a young warrior rose and said that he had watched and that it was true the trader had a black water which he gave the chief and the warrior to drink, for he 1 made a hole in the wall of the trader’s store, and through it saw them drinking the black w He advised them to bring the trader and warrior together before them, and he would ae- cuse them to their face of what he had seen, and if thoy denied the truth, he would fight them. ‘This speech was received with great satisfaction, and the young chief at onco sent some wuarriors to fetch the trader and their brother. *‘When thoy were come into the council and seated, the youn, rior repeated all he had said, and asked if it were not true that they would fight him. The warrior who was first asked rose up and said the young warrior lied, and that he was ready to fight him; but whea the trader was told w stand up and answer, he, seeing there was no use in denying the matter, confessed all. ‘“‘He said the black water was given him by the white people, a great many of whom drank 1t, and it 0 them behave as they had seen the chief and warrior do. He also told them that after a man drank of it he felt happy, laughed and sang, and when he laid down he dreamed pleasant dreams and slew his enemic: *‘The curiosity of the warriors was greatly excited, and the young chief bade the trader zo and bring some of the black water, that they might taste it. He was about to depart, when the young war- rior, who had before spoken, rose and desired him to be seated, when ho said: ** ‘The warriors heara my speech and it was good. 'The brother however, when [ asked him if he would tell the council the & truth, said I lied, and he would fight me. Let us now go out of the village and fight.’ ‘The’young chief asked the drunkerd if he had. anything to say. en _he arose and addressed the council as follows: ‘¢‘Oh,my brethren.it is true that [ have drank of the black water, and that I have lied. When the trader first gave it to me todrink, he made me promise I would never tell what it was or where I got it, 1d he has many times since said if I told any one he would neyer give me any more to drink. Oh, my brethren, the black water is most wonderful, and 1 have come to love it better than my life or the truth. The fear of never having any more of it to drink made me lie, an; I have nothing more to say but that [ am ready to fight.” THE FIGHT OF THE TWO WARRIORS. ‘“Then the council adjournod,and every one went out to sce the warriors fight. They were both men of great skill and bravery, and the whole village came to see the battle. He who had drank the black water was the best spearsman in the tribe, and every one expected to see the other warrior killed. “The spears were brought and after they were given to the combatants it was seen that the hand of him who had lied shook 50 he could hardly hold his spear. At this his friends rallied him and asked him if he was afraid. He replied that his heart was brave, but that his hand trem- bled, though not with fear, for it had shook for many days. ‘““T'hen the battle began, and at the see- ond throw of tho spears, he with the trembling hand was clove througn the heart, and _killed instantly, while_the other warrior did not even receive a wound. “*After the fight was over, the warriors all went to the trader’s loage, and he brought out in a 1}) 1 more than a quart of black water, which he gave in small quantities to each warrior. When they had swallowed it they began to dance and sing, and many lzl{ down on the ground and slept as though they were dead. “Neoxt day they came again and asked for more black water, and so they came each day, dancing and singing, for more than a week. “*One morning the trader said he wonld ‘filvulhom no more black water unless they paid him for it, and this they did. The prica was at first one robe for ench sup suflicient to make thom sloap, but as the ok water became scarce, two robes, and finally threo were paid for a sleap. Then the trader said he had no more except a little for himself, and this he would not sell; but the warriors bogged s0 hard for some he gave them a sleep for many robes. Even the body robes were soon in the handslof the tra and the warriors were very poor, but still they begged for more black water, giving & pony In exchange for each sleep. Tho trader took all the ponies, and then the wanriors offered their squaws, but there was no more bluck water, and the trader said he would go and fetch some. “Ilo packed all the robes on the ponies, and was about to set out when a warrior made a speech, saying that now that he had all their robes and ponies, and they were very poor, the trader was going away and” would never return, for they had nothing more to give him. So the warriors said he should not depart, and ordered him to unpack the ponies, The trader told them he would soon return with plenty of black water, and give it tothem as he did at first. Many of the warriors were_willing he should depart, but others said no, #nd one declared that he had plenty of k water still left, and was going off to trade with their enemies, the Sioux. This oreated GREAT EXCITEMENT, and the trader’s store and all his packs were searched, but no black water was found. Still the warrior asserted he had it, and that it hidden away. The warriors declared that they would kill him unless he instantly told” them where he had hid it, and upon s not being able o doso, thoy rushed into his lodga an MURDERED HIM before the eyes of his squaw, tearing off his scalp and stamping uvon his body. 80 alarmed the white squaw thatshe attempted to rdu out of the lodge, and, as she came to the door, a warrior struck her on the head with his tomahawk, and she fell down as though she were dead. *“The chief made a great speech, saying that now, as the trader was dead, the would burn his lodge and take back their robes and ponigs. So THE LODGE WAS FIRED, and as it.burngd a Crow squaw saw by its light the white squaw lying before the d‘gt.)‘r and that nh’rfiwas not dead, and she took hor to the lodge,sewed up her wounds and gave her something to eat. The squaw lived and got well, but she was erazy and could not bear the sight of a war- rior, believing overy one who came near her 'Was going to kill her. 5 “One day the white squaw was missing, and the village turned ont to look for her. They followed her track far down the river, but could not find her. Some women ont gathering berries a fow days afterwards, said the white squaw camo to them and asked for food, showing them, at the same time, where she was hiding in the blufls near by. She begged them not to tell the warriors where she was, or they would come and kill her, The squaws tried to dissunde her from a notion 8o foolish, but they could not get her to return to the village. “Every day the squaws went and took her food, and she lived for many months, no one knowing where she was but the women. When the warriots came about she hid away and would not stir until thay wero gone. “One day, however, a warrior out hunting antelope eame suddenly upon her, and she fled away, but he followed her, wishing to bring her to the village. All day she ran over the hills, and at night the warrior came back, being una- ble to catch her. Sho was never seen ngain, and what became of heris not known, although it is likely she died of ;:umzrr. or that the wild beasts destroyed or.”” ‘‘Eyer afterwards when the Indians came here to camp, they told the story of the {ruzy woman, and the place” became known as ‘“the place of the crazy woman,” and the name of “Big Beard” was almost forgotten, even among the Ind while the white people called the stream entirely by the smame of “Cr \Vl)‘l{!m\'s Fur{(,,'"nud the valley «orazy Woman’s Valley "’ pei JAME: S.

The Extraordinary Oareerofa Young Girl in Lady Blessington's Salon. Forty years ago, in 1846, at tho ultra re- fined receptions of Lady Blessington, says the London correspondent of the New York Sun, a young French girl, in- troduced bya fricnd o% the hostess, laid the foundation of her future reputation in fortune telling. It was Mlle. Le Nor- mand, the modern pythoness. Lady Bless- ington, who had “been informed by FORTUNE her Parisian correspondent of the miracu- lous gifts of her protege, determined before she could have be- nted with any of the persons d their names. ly brought to his to try he come acqu )]Irl'acnl., or even asse 'hree men were succe: her. To the first, after hand, she said: “Your life will happy and successful one; you will die old ‘without pain; but on_one occasion you and one of your children will mi- racuously escape destruction.” To the second: ‘It seems almost incredible, but I would say to you in the words of Shakespeare. “Thou will be king here- after.’ Yes, sir, you will reign.’’” After gazing mto the palm of the third the young girl shivered, grew pale, and dropped his hand. ({uic kly rallying, she informing him that she had seen nothing worth repeating, and left his side. But the same night, before leaving, she im- plored Lady Blessington to distrust her st, saying, ‘‘He will commit murder and be sentenced to death.” These three men were Charles Dickens, who, in 1864, returning from abroad, was in the horrible railway accident of Staple- hurst, and escaped unhurt; the MS. of “Our Mutual Friend,” his offspring, en- closed in a small hand-bag, was found upon the track amid the debris and re- turned to the author. The second man was Prince Louis Napoleon. No com- montary is needed. The third was Charles Wainwright, then a most promising pain- tr, who afterward murdered his wife with the most revolting cruelty.

PRANDINA, Spring Races—Faghions in Dress—The Opera—Advertisements on the Cuartain—Kaiser Billy's Cross Miraw, Ttaly, May 20, 1886.--[Corres- pondence of the Her]—The weok has been an important one in many respeots for the citizens of Milan. Sunday was election day,and the streets were crowded with men, women and children, much more excited apparently than Americans are on such ocoasions.” Votes were cast for the city counsellors and deputies, but the result was not known until Wednes- day morning, when the contents of the vosters, in shop windows and on street corners, were eagerly deyoured by the people of all ranks and classes. To all appearances the affair was of quite as grave importance as is our presidential election to us, though a clever little Italian lady said laugh nF. “We do not go through such diableries a8 you do in America.’’ But asif to confradict that statement, the papers have mentioned mary parades and rows, stamp speeches and even duels, ana Monday evening a magnificent marble BUST OF GARIBALDI, the gitt of the famous sculptor, Ripa- monti, placed in the corridor of one of the finest government buildings, was dashed to the ground, and on a sheet of paper, fastened to the largest fragment, were the words: *‘In payment of a debt owed Albertario.” The latter was one of the most popular candidates of the conservative party. THE DEATH OF DOCTOR PRANDINA has eaused great consternation and sor- row in ail Italy. His carcer of seventy yeurs was remarkable for its many sac- rifices and the mnoble work he did. At the age of twenty, while yet a student, he met Garibaldi, and the acquaintance ripened into a friendship that ended only with the death of the hero. Dr. Pran- dina_early acquired great fame as a physician and surgeon, and when in 1857 the cholera struck Milan he could be seen day and night going in and out of the “most wretched houses of town, making the poor his especial care as he did until he died. So it is little wonder that they idolized him and he was known far and near as “‘the poor man’s friend.” After 1860 he mnever left Garibaldi, gon, through every campaign and battle at his side and caring for his every want. ‘Lhen after the death of the.general, it was Dr. Prandina who, when the body was ¢ mated, gathered the ashes of his much- loved friend and cared for them. Then his work for the poor recommenced, and no man in northern Italy could claim more friends than this “nature’s nobl man.” The body of the deccased was interred at Miena, near Lecco, and the car that carried it from Milan was liter- ally covered, at each station, with flowers and crowns of fmmortelles, thrown b the crowds of \\'n(-lying people gathered to pay u last tribute tothe man they loved so well. : THE SPRING RACES took place Monday afternoon sight around the track was a ve tiful and animated one. The we fashion of Milan ¥ere well represented by the occupants 'of the handsome equip- ages, and_the betuty of the women was remarkable. Instead of having jockies, as we do in America, she gentlemen rode their own horses, wearing the colors presented them 'by .some dark-eyed signorma. The races amounted to noth- ing, for the horses; though many of them were very handsome, were evidently not meant for the track, and the men rode abominably. and the DRESS. Many of the prevailing fashions in dress seems very odd to us. Bronze ties—or low shoes—are very popular for strect wear and the old-fashioned, broad- brimmed Leghorn straw hats, loaded ‘with plumes, are much worn by ladies of fashion, Red is conspicuous by its absence, and a Milanese lady just re- turned from Paris created a great sensa- tion the other day by appearing on the Corso in her carry in an entire suit of cardinal cashmer is so warm already that ginghams, satins, and silks are in general u: THE REGULAR OPERA SEASON at the La Scala has just ended, but four more orchestral concerts are to be given, and the other opera houses and theatres do not close until some time next month. Last night we heard ‘“I'rovatore” given at the Dal Verme. We were hardly seated when our attention was drawn to the peculiarity of the immense cu tain over the footlights. It wasa m of advertisement sheets, of about thi same irregulari > and variet, of color in_the patches of the average crazy quilt. It wasrather disconcerting, while sitting in anticipa- tion of a purely artistic treat, to be ob- liged to note that “Luigi Don Giovanni Gabbia put up the best sausage in all Italy,” and that “‘Singer's sewing ma- chine o0il” and ‘‘the best cholera preven- tive’’ were to be found side by side on the Piazza del Duomo. The performance on the whole was good, and, though the artists were strangers to Milan theatre- goers, the applause throughout was vehe- ment and lengthy. There are only two tiers of boxes in the Dal Verme, and between the acts we could see m the gul- lory above us an odd bit of side play. A man wandering up and down the aisles with a basdet filled with bottles of mineral water, would be relieved of one by the father of afamily. The bottle would be immediately pussed to the small “heir anparent,’ "who, after having tipped and sipped (with the utmost dis- regard of all' conventionality) from the neck of the bottle, would pass” it to his mother, who repeated the performance with gusto, and in due time we we - lieved to 'see the long suffe reach the father, who good drained the dregs, and gave piece, equivalent to two Am. cents, to the patient attendant.
