Ytand-and-Look-Backward is chief of the Loafer band of the Brule Sioux at the Rose- bud agency. In Dakot: they call him “Scoop,” but that's only for convenience. Scoop” and his wife, his wife's aunt, his little daughter, Yellow Horse, and five young Sloux braves have arrived in San ancisco from South Dakota, says the S8an Francisco Examiner. This is the first journey that Stand-and-Look-Backward ever made in which he avalled himself of railroad trains and ferry boats. Of course he has trave thousands of miles through the “bad land of Montana, Wyoming 1 Dakota, but it was al s on the back of pony. When he came to a river he either had to wade, swim or raft across It, so now, although not given to undue confidences, he expressed considerable surprise at all the white people he had seen and the wonderful ways they had of doing things. He says that he had been told by some of his Jnore traveled friends of the great number of palefa and he had even been close ough to a rail- road to see the swiftly passing trains, but ho had never quite believed all the stories of his acquaintan , and he was not quite sure of th losophy and use of engines and cars. w he has seen for himself, and 18 satisfied Stand-and-Look-Backward 1s a kind of man very ra met with off a reservation nowadays—a full-blooded Sioux He is a splendid specimen of the plains Indian almost unspolled by contact with white men After onc sees Plutes o s, or Diggers from California and Ne one is tempted to remark th nnimore Cooper and the rest of the American story makers who have written of the “noble red men' didn’t know much about the subject; or, If the: did, they surrounded him with a great deal of imaginary glory. But when one becomes acquainted with nd-and-Look-Backward and looks at the tall, handsome young men that acc any him, the is some tempta- tlon to believe that the complimentary things the novelists have written were nearly true. Years ago “Scoop” was a “‘bad Indian.” He spent nearly all of the first part of his life on the warpath. When he was not fighting the whites he was doing battle with other Indians. w gotten all that sort of thing and only does what the Great Father at Washington tells him. He did not join in the Pine Ridge out- break, although two or three of the young men who were with him were in the midst of the battle. SCOOP'S VERSION OF THE MASSACRE But what makes “Scoop” a more inte esting character than an ordinary Indian, is the fact that he took part in the battle of the Little Big Horn, where Custer and 0 men of command Wi killed. The histories all refer to that fight as the “Cus- Ma 0 so0p” was only 26 years old then. He is 43 now. At that time he was not a chief. His description of the fight, althoug interesting. He speaks of h share in the encounter with reluctance, how- ever, evidently with some lurking fear that even at this late day the government might punish him for it. “There were a great many Indians,” he began, through his Interpreter, Colonel Jor- dan, “I cannot count them, even the lodges, We cannot read nor write, and it is very hard for us to tell numbers. But there were a great many.” Here “Scoop” counted awhile on his fingers as though trying to estimate, but at length shook his head as if it were a vain attempt. “There were nine tribes, and tlie young men were all very angry. They were strong young men and great fighters. Crazy Horse and Gall were the chiefs in command. All of the braves wanted to capture Custer alive. We called him ‘Long Hair,’ and knew that there was not one of us any braver than he. That is why we did not want to kill him. So we all looked for the man with long hair who sat up straight on his horse and looked very fine. But we could not seo him. Here the interpreter explained that just before the fight Custer's wife had asked him to cut his hair, because sho thought his long locks would make him conspieuous and a prominent mark for the Indian rifle “First the soldeirs came upon us in a small band. We attacked them, and they were afraid. They ran. We pursued them and took their rifles away. Afterwards we used them to kill the other soldiers. They were cowards. They did not fight at all, but were like dogs. We could have beaten them with sticks.” Colonel Jordan explained that this refer- ence was to Major Reno's detachment which Custer had ordered to attack the Indiana from one side and divert their attention until he could get around and attack them on the other. “After the first soldiers ran the others advanced against us. A tall man with a buckskin coat rode In front. We thought he was Custer, but he did not have the long hair and so we shot at him. These men were all brave. They would not run. They fought hard, but there were too many of us. We killed them all, but there were only clghteen Indians killed. There seemed to be something the matter with the soldiers’ guns. They could mot put cartridges in them. 14 was a big fight, but we killed them all. “But that was all when I was a young man. I will never put on the war paint again, Now I want to be a quiet man. I have my family and I see that it is not right to fight. 1 do not talk of that fight be- cause it sounds like boasting. I have never spoken so much about it before.” All this was not told in a minute, nor in the exact order in which it is written here. Stand-and-Look-Backward - spoke a sen- tence in his deep guttural voice, which was nevortheless not unmusical, and then he would take a puff or two at the cigarette which he had rolled for himself, his ey looking away off as though he saw all over again the florce fight that he was describing. Then suddenly he would begin again. He gesticulated with great animation, telling nearly as much by signs as he did by words. He has a wonderfully strong face. The nose is of the ideal Indian type. His brown eyes are large, bright and keef, his fore- head high, his hair straight, long and well combed. LO CHEWS GUM. “Scoop” manifests the utmost contempt for the Nevada Washoes and Piutes. He saw somo of thelr miserable wickiups from the train as he camo through the Sagebrush state, and Inquired about them. When told that they were dwellings of Indians he ejaculated “High! We give our dogs better houses." And it is true. Colonel Jordan says that | $Stand-and-Look-Backward is one of the most @amous of Indlan farmers. He has 640 acres under cultivation, owns a frame house, im- proved farming tools and has his horses and wagons. On his breast there hangs a great silver medal, with the head of Andrew Johnson on one side and an inseription on the other. This was presented to his father, Crow Eagle, while on a visit to the president in 156 The five Brule Sioux with Ha-Ki-Kla- Nazin, as “Scaop” spells his name in Sioux, are a fine looking lot of young bucks. They are all over six fect, straight as trees, with keen black eyes and complexions in which there is just a tinge of copper. Spotted Owl Is the oldest. He, too, was at the Custer-fight, and there is a sear on his cheek that shows where he was wounded there. Then there is Black Fire Heart, One Star, Black Spotted Horse and Yellow Hawk All wear brilliant red and blue jackets, which cost §3 a yard at the agency, beaded vests, feathers in their hair and other finery When they came down to the Examiner office to have tholr photographs made every one was vigorously chewing gum. .Colonel Jordan, who, when he is at home, is the post trader, says he sells carloads of gum to the Indians. Threo of the young men were in the Pine Ridge affair—Black Spotted Horse, Yellow Hawk and One Star. But they are good Indians now. In fact, they declaro that all the Sioux are perfectly ocontented now. They trooped up Into the room where the Examiner's photographic work fs done. It is pretty high up, and they were ablo tc look all over the city, see the bay and Oak- land beyond, But not an exclamation of surprise escaped them. They had r seen anything like it before, but they took every- thing as a matter of course. They did not soem to quite understand the big balloon hovering over Central park, but they asked no_questions, Stand-and-Look-Backward ~ was taken through the city prison the day after he came to San Franciseo, and he told his young men that they must not drink or they would have to go there, ERAL EARLY'S CAREER. General Jubal Anderson Early, his 75th year at the time of death, was a Virginian by birth, He was graduated at the United States Military academy In 1837, appointed a lieutenant of artillery, to duty at Fort Mon- roe, Va. He saw service in the Florida war in 1837-38, and in the latter year re signed from the army and began the prac- tice of law in Virginia. Subsequently he became a member of the legislatare and commonwealth’s attorney. During the war with Mexico General Barly served as major of a regiment of Virginia volunteers, and was also acting governor of Monterey fin May and June, 1847. After the disband- ing of the army he returned to the practice of law. At the beginning of the civil war he en tered the confederate service as a colonel, €ommanded a brigade at Buil Run, and in the battle of Willlamsburg, May 5, 1862, was wounded mortally, according to first reports In May, 1563, he commanded the division that held the lines at Fredricksburg, while eneral Lee was fighting the battle of Chan- cellorsviile. For this he was made a major neral. He also commanded a division at ettvsburg, In 1864 he was ordered to the valley of the Shenandoah In Juno, 1564, General Lee had massed his troops around Richmond and was opposed by it Just then Hunter appeared at the lower end of the valley and, dashing up the turnpike, passed Strasburg, Woodstock, New Market and Harrisonburg. The fed erals had never been higher up the valley than Harrigsonburg, and Hunter pushed on to Staunton. Then he made for Lexington, and on toward Lynchburg. General Lee lized the great danger this advance, suc- ssfully carried out, meant, and determined to send a troop into the valley to deal with Hunter and prevent his return to Washing- ton. The work required a commander with decision, energy and rapidity of movement, and for it General Early was selected. At that time the general was commanding Bwell's corps, and with it he was moved to Lynchburg, and Hunter retired down the valley. Early won a victory at Monocacy in July, 1864, and then pushed on toward Washing- ton. At one time, it is said, he was so clo; that the fire of his skirmishers could be heard at the white house. Early concluded lie was not strong enough to take the city, and on the night of July 12 began to retreat Soon after this be made a rafd into Penn: vania and burned Chambersburg. Sheridan was then sent against him, and at Opequan, Fisher's Hill and Cedar Creek Barly sustained ctaggering defeats, while in March, 1865, he was totally routed and his army dispersed at Waynesboro by Custer. In consequence of these disasters Barly relieved by Lee. After the close of the war General Early spent some time in Europe, and on his re- turn resumed the practice of law in Rich- mond. He_ subsequently took up his resi- dence in New Orleans, alternately with Lynchburg, Va., where, with General Beau- regard he became a_manager of the Louisi- ana State lottery. He was president of the Southern Historical saciety, and in 1867 pub- lished a pamphlet entitled “A Memoir of the Last Year of the War for Independence in the Confederate States.” DESTROYING A BLOCKADE RUNNER. In the March issue of Blue and Gray “Union® Jack” tells the following story of a.gallant exploit of a boat's crew of the Hartford, under the guns of Fort Morgan, Mobile bay: On the night of August 1 an English block- ade runner, favored by circumstances, ran through the fleet, but was pressed so closely by pursuing gunboats that, running too near to the land, her keel took the bottom at a point close under the guns of Morgan. Far- ragut was much annoyed by the circum- stance, and ordered an expedition to be formed, composed of two boats from each ship, amounting to 100 men, who, under cover of darkness, pulled in for the be: At 3 o'clock they returned, reporting that they could not find the wreck. Farragut summoned his aid, Licutenant Watson. ““Watson, take my barge and a dozen men; £0 In there and destroy that blockade runner.’ Watson required no second bidding; he loved such work. The larger expedition re- tired chagrined, while the crew of the barge, with white covers on their caps to dis- tinguish them from the enemy, armed with cutlasses and revolvers; pulled at a swinging stroke straight for the entrance to the con- federate works. The fort loomed up through the darkness, stern and forbidding, while a sharp lookout for the hull of the blockader was maintained. She was discovered by a keen-eyed young topman, lying in the deep shadows of an angle of the fort. There was no delay or nonsense about it; no appealing to the men to fight manfully. There was no occasion for that with the men of the Hart- ford. The barge was headed direct for her, the men boarding just forward of the star- board paddle-box, | The demoralized crew were driven in all directions, many secking safety in flight ashore, giving the alarm to the garrison. With dextrous hands the saflors strewed combustibles i various parts of the vessel, and placing a large tank of powder in the midst of the machinery, the qorch was applied. Fort Morgan had " now Opened a plunging fire, and as the barge pulled off shore, flames burst from all por- tions of the doomed craft, revealing a com- pany of soldiers advancing at a double-quick down the broad beach. But the game had slipped through their fingers. The shot from the fort made the water boil and foam around the barge, but mone struck her, and as the first red streaks of dawn tinged the east, Watson reported his mission to the admiral as accomplished. A MIDNIGHT INVADER In the spring of 1802, writes a correspond- ent of the St. Louls Republic, our company (C) with others were formed in different parts of the good state of Arkansas, We were armed with double-barreled shotguns, home-made knives—made of old crosscut saws, files and the like—and we looked dan- gerous. We were camped in an old store- house In Helena waiting for orders, and dlsclpline, and whatever it required to make the Twenty-third Arkansas regiment. In our house we had room in the corners to stack our guns and knives and otiior bag- gage, and we had hauled some shucks and hay and put over the floor for bedding. Then, when we all had our beds down at night, we had the floor pretty well covered up with men. Now, on the south side of our building we had windows, and in the east end a double door. On the north side there were no windows, and in the west end there were none. There was a friendly cow, be- longing to a German barkeeper near by, and sho would come and steal our shucks and hay when we were outside cooking and eating. On this particular night the moon was shining in through our windows and the old cow climbed in at the door and made her way on and on until she had reached the back of the house, no one thinking or. caring anything about the cow. Perhaps she was two hours or more making her way over, around and through the men, but in course of time she stepped on some one up in the dark corner, and he gave a scream for mercy. Then the old cow took the nearest route for the door, regardless of men, blank- kets or any of the implements of war. Tho men prayed, yelled and cursed. Some ran off to the river, some one way and some another, and day dawned on us before we all &ot settled back to sleep. We bad, if I remember correctly, 108 men in our company. - We went through the war and surrendered with about eighteen men. We saw the elephant at many places, but the members of company © were never scared worse than they were by that cow at Helena. An Important Point. Indianapolis Journal: “This is the queer est report of sulcide I ever saf,” said Mrs, Wickwire, as she laid down her newspaper. ‘What's the matter with 1t?" asked Mr. Wickwire “Why It says the man took three grains of wmorphine, but It doesn't say how much he paid for it.* I have been reading the pas pers for years, but I never saw the price of the drug omitted before.” y Ourious Oharaoteristics of the People of a Mexican COity, A LAND OF PERPETUAL SPRINGTIME roe Colnage, Chenp Labor and igh-Priced | Necessitios—Musle, Clgnrettes, Ploty and Somb) the Na- tional Tralts. The first important city one enters upon going into Mexico is Monterey. It is sald to be the most Americanized town in the re- public, but it Is really impossible to notice any such effect upon the people. Although within 170 miles of our frontier it is more forefgn than most any city in Burope. The streets of Calro, as we saw them at the fair, are not moro curios than those of Monterey, with the houses built out to the sidewnlks, which form two walls on either side as far as the eye can reach, as there is not a vacant lot in Monterey. The houses are bullt around the block in form of a square, having space in the center for a garden. These bulldings are of solid masonry, with walls never less than two feet thick, with ceflings, roofs and floors of ce- ment. As the houses are built to stay and one could not burn them If he tried, thero is no such thing as a fire department, or in- surance companies. A logical Mexican told me that insurance companiés were the cause and fires the effect of nsuring. ODDITIES OF THE PEOPLE. Even a causal observer percefves that thore are three classes of Mexicans. The flern, or Indian,who wears little more cloth- ing than nature has given him. The half- breed, who dre gorgeously In buckskin garments, and a hat as heavily ladened with gold and silver as his pocketbook can afford. The third are of pure Spanish blood and are really the lords of creation, as most of them received large grants of land durs ing the Spanish rule and kil pwn many ex- tensive estates, Labor Is worth 4 or 5 reals a day. which 1s equal to 35 cents in our money at the present price on exchange. As yet T have not been able to find living any cheaper here than in any place in the United States. Of course the laboring man must live cheaper, but his wants are few. PEWLESS PIETY. One of the most pecullar things about the Mexican is that he is constantly going to church. They are really very pious people Every time they pass a church or funeral they reverently take off their hats and re- peat a short prayer. In the churches there are no pews, 8o the attendants at mass kneel on the bare floors throughout the ser- vice. It Is very picturesque to watch them kneeling there, with their heads bowed in silent prayer and thelr bright red zurapas hanging loosely over their shoulders, while their costly s lio on the floor beside them. In trips a little maid, followed by her servant carrying a dainty silken pillow, and there beside a bare-footed peon kneels she down to pray. Oh! so different from our way, where money has its own house of worship and the poor are left to God and to shift for themselves. The Mexicans are sald to be great drink- ers, but as yet I have failed to see any of them intoxicated. The only drunken man 1 have seen since my arrival was from Towa, | and I was told he had mot been here long enough- to got sober. However, the Mexican is'a perpetual smoker. There are only two places where you do not see him with a cigarette in his mouth, these are church and the theater. Last night a man seated in front of .me at the theater rolled and lighted a_cigarette. No soouer had he commenced his smoke than a policeman tapped him on the shoulder and requested him to call the fol- lowing morning on the judge and pay the usual fine for such offenses. This little act goes to show the authority the police pos- sess. A man requested to call on n police judge would have little effect on our rowdy element, but here the police are so strong and active it would be impossible to avoid them. A DELIGHTFUL CLIMATE. Monterey is the veritable land of perpet- ual spring time. Frogg are unknown and the thermometer rangé® from 60 degrees to 85 degrees throughout the year. In my opinion this is a vastly superior climate to California, as it is devold of fogs smd has no long rain spells, as they do there. Here all the tropical fruits grow in great abund- ance with the exception of the banana, which does not grow here with the success it does farther south. The oranges, however, which are best at this time of the year, are the sweetest I have ever tasted. There are but two houses in this whole city of 50,000 inhabitants which are pro- vided with' a means of heating. These are the two Amerlean hotels, cach of which contains a stove about the size of a cracker box. These are looked upon as curiosities by the natives. All classes of Mexicans foin in the dread of the cold. It is very funny to see the natives shiver and shake when the ther- mometer drops down to 60 degrees above. They wrap their heads in thelr blankets and” never scem to have a thought- about their feet and ‘legs, which are always bare. They remind one of the proverbial ostrich who hides its head and fancles it cannot be seen. The wealthy gentleman wears long cloaks with hoods attached and lined with some gaudy plush. At night, unless it i8 positively suffocating, these hoods are drawn up over the head and the cloak Is thrown over the shoulder in the form of a Roman loga. .They are very picturesque, but on a dark night one's mind naturally turns to sncak thieves and assassins s you see @ man cross the street and enter a portico unannounced. How many Don Juans have I not scen under those mys terlous cloaks? No telling, for I am told Mexico abounds with them, THE MEXICANS ARE MUSICIANS. There is no such thing as a music hater in this southern republic, as every Mexican is a born musician, and one cannot help but admire thelr music. Last night I heard a band coming up the street, so I stepped out on my balcony expecting to see a large military band, as the music was exquisite. But to my surprise 1 saw a crowd of ragged fellows coming along like a flock of sheep, some were in the street, others on the sidewalks, glancing into the shop windows as they passed, while one was stealing a ride on a street car. Yet, with all this indifference, their music was superb, music that would have done honor to Sousa and musicians that the late Gil- more would have been proud of. This band of ragamuffing could have climbed a mountain playing better music than our bands ever dreamed of. At the “Thetro del Progress” I heard one of our modern melodramas set to music. The acting was poor, and the actors were continually prompted, but the music was catchy and in all parts exhibited that strange, weird melody existent in all Mexican music. The orchestra accompanying this opera was as good as the one in the Metropolitan opera house of New York. This statement is in itself broad, but when I say that the house held not more than $300, It seems incred ible, yet it {s @ fact. 1 am told that even the best musiclans get but little better pay than the common mechanic, and that some of the wealthy familics have full orchestras for thelr own private use. MEXICAN MONEY. The Mexican dollar will buy as much in Mexico as it ever did, yet within a few years It has decreased in value nearly 75 per cent Our money Is the real standard by which all transactions are entered into At present exchange on United States is at a premium of 95 per cent. That is, one of our dollars is worth a dollar ninety-five in Mexican money. This is undoubtedly due to the free and unlimited coinage of silver, and this is what we could reasonably expect it our Colorado neighbors had their way. How would our laboring men like to work all day for $1.50, which, in reality, is worth only 75 cents? I hired a drayman to do some huuling for me, and his charges were 1 real, or 121 cents, which is really worth but 6 cents in our money, This real would buy him two rides on the street car, ‘One loaf of bread or one glass of b 'y The p of labor is cheap, but the price of necessities are not correspondingly low However, the labor- ing man has but few wants, and as the rich man's edus jon in enjoying the luxuries of life has been neglected, his wants are not Stin dflfiA.wwnmgs come thronging, I clijpee to roam, And althéugh I've got some money, Still ngt,quite enough, my honey, When we furnish up our home. “Then," sald Mary, “do not worry, Though to wed we're in no hurry, Best for you and I.

To become a_policeman seems to be the height of every Mexican’s ambition, and they do make excellent guardians of the peace. As a rule they are small men—all Mexicans are undersized—but their arms make them respected. They carry both sword and pis- tol, and when mounted a rifle also. At night the policemen, wrapped in large cloaks and carrying small dark lanterns, walk the streets. Thése: lanterns they occasionally turn upon the faces of the passersby and question them about the business that brings them out 8o late. It is not well to be sus- pected, because ‘they will arrest a man upon the slightest provocation. Even the ordinary drunkard is lodged in the city prison. The soldiers domot compare favorably with ours. They are smaller and not so well cquipped, but they are hardy, used to long marches, -as the number of petty revolutions here keep them in practice, and when it comes to fighting they are said to be daunts less soldiers. Yesterday 1 saw a company of them bathing in an aqueduct; their cop- per-colored skins fairly glistened in the sun- light. They vere all quite naked and a botter built lot of men I never saw. Their legs are always large and muscular. As 1 watched a party of women come upon the bridge and seemed to be quite as interested as T was. Their comments, which were from a purely artistic standpoint, were, to say the least, amusing. A B. M. B BROTHERHOOD MEETING. Impressive Service of Asse ciate Mission Chapter at St. John's Last Evening. The meeting of city chapters of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, a preliminary announcement of which appeared in our col- umns a few days since fook place at St. John's Episcopal chureh Thursday. The full seating capacity of the church was taxed to accommodate the large congregation pres- ent. The cxercises were characterized by great spirit and earnestness. The service of induction of assoclate mis- sion chapter proved most interesting and im- pressive. The candidates numbered eleve and the usual ritual ice of the Brother- hood was carried out. The sermon was de- livered by Rev. John Williams of St. Barna bas and his subject, “The Working Classes and the Christ,” under the skillful handling of this popular pre . proved a fitting theme for the occasion. The short ad dresses by Messrs, H. B. Chamberlain and J. W. Baltin were earnest and pointed ex- hortations to Brotherhool men to do the work to which they are pledged. The musical portion of the program was carefully selectod and rendered with vigor, the special selections being as follows: 3 Processional, “Onward Christian JSoldier;” anthem, “0! Mother, Dear Jerusalem Brotherhood hymn, ‘“‘Jesus Calls Us O'er I‘lu' Tumult;" bymn, “Love Divine, All Love Ex- celling;” recessional, g Allelula Forth in Duteous Praise.’ Service at Castellar, Rev. Dr. Thomas Marshall, field secretary of the Presbyterian foreign mission, was greeted by an Interested audience in the Castellar Presbyterian church last night. Dr. Marshall is fn the city for the purpose of delivering u series of lectures before the Presbyterian Theologieal seminary. The gentlgmga described his journey to Yokohama and |related the interesting incl- dents ounteged on the way to Japan He spok of Lhe misslonary work in that coumtry pnd stated that the first Christian work| began In that country in 1859, Previous fo that date people who pro- fossed Christigdity were beheaded, and the natives were wdrshipers of idols and lmages. images B In 1872 only] ten people had been bap- tized in the Cheistian faith, but now there were 27,000 followers of the true faith Japan has 150,409] Christian people and In Tokio there are weventy-two places of wor- ship. The doctor sald that there were 1 missionaries, 43, schools, 17,000 baptiz children and 52 dhurches with 50,000 mem- bers in Pekin, - here are 0,000 Ohristians in North Africa, and the)missions there are reported to be in a flourishing condition Dr Marshall visited many places of religlous in terest and gave an entertaining and instruc tive description of the scenes, the people and their customs. He delivered a sermon in Jerusalem. MANUFACTURES OF THE COUNTRY. Census Bulletin Giving Interesting Facts About the West.
