that General Grant is finding favor
with the Southern Democracy for a

ten the eight black years that this ty

that President Grant withdrew hie

The Rev. Alex-Wright, a cliaplaia
in tho United State* army, narrates a
true but tristful romance of the lata
Princess Monica, ft daughter of Spotted

whites. Monies visited Fort I^iratnie to
look upon t^tc pale faces and their man

by a hnndsbmc young Lieutenant of a
cavalry regiment, and, in thanking him
for his courtesy, she acknowledged, with
charming naivete, that she loved him.
The surprised and flattered officer told
hef that she. must not love him ; that
his heart was placed among the pale
girls in an Ojiio town. Monica visited^
the Fort on the day following that on
which she lost her freedom / and so, fof
many weeks, in 1 plain, neat attire, the
poor girl sat throughout tho kfternonn
"On the doorsteps of tho officers’ quar

warriors out-numbered those of Sitting

One day a courier arrived at the chief’s
camp'witb the tidings that Monica was
dying. Spotted Tail rode with all haste
to her side and heard her farewell in
