He then bore off the head in triumph TO
his cabin.--The next morning not an Indian
could be found in all that region. They left
forever their homes and their dead, and that
part of the State has not been molesled by
them since.
A few weeks since this veteran of eighty
winters sold his cabin, caparisoned with the
same hunting-shrt and weapons which he
wore when he killed the chief, started for
Missouri. After travelling few rods, he
returned and asked permission to give his
"Grand yeu" The gentlemen to whom he
had sold The land, giving his assent, he gave
a long, loud, and shrill whoop, that made the
welkin ring for miles around. "Now," said
he, "my blessing is on the land and on you
your ground will always yield an abundance,
you will always prosper" Again he took up
bis march for new home in the wilderness,
where he could enjoy the happiness of soil
tude undisturbed by social lies.

A FINE PoRrRAIT.-The National INTEL
ligencer in a notice Of the American Review
for October, renders this high but well de-
served tribute TO one of the great leaders of
the Wing party,-the gallant Crittenden.
Preixed to this number of the Wing Re-
view comes an efiigy OF one of the ornaments
of the party-the fervid, noble, able Crilten-
den; true man, amidst all the decay of
honor; gallant man, when chivalry has sunk
into only the tanfarnade of what is knight
ly; a statesman, wanting nothing but
ambition enough TO make him bestir himself
AS patriot, no man is less toward to assume
that much abused name; which yet his very
adversaries would be laughed TO scorn by the
universal confidence if they denied him. For
no man has ever among, in the midst of the
fercest partisan sttife, dealt sharper strokes
when the blood was up; and the very enemies
whom his burst Of battle has left bleeding and
overthrown behind it, follow him through the
fight with admring eyes. 1t is, indeed
his happiness TO reach, without effort or ART
by the mere gift of Nature, an eloquence as
powerful as it is beautiful; and while, in de-
bate a merciless slaughter of every thing thai
comes in his way, yet never excite rancor
No man is so careless OF reputation, lis arts,
or its fruits; and yet few are so sure TO ac-
quire it. No man thinks less of winning pop
ularity, and yet the unsought affection of es-
TEEN of evey body follow him wherever he
goes.

THE PANTHER-The Peoria Register, a

DEPLoRABI.E PICTURE-Extract Of letter
from county Roscommon, in Ireland, TO a
citizen of Washington, dated Oct. 80, 1916.
'Never had we such accounts TO send as
in this present year. Ireland is visited from
north to south, from east TO west, with a
most dreadful famine; the poor are living in
many parts on cabbages and salt, and many
of them dying on the hghroads. In the
fields, and in the towns, of Irish cholera and
various other complaints, in consequence Of
such food, and very many have not even much

in the beginning the greatest possible obJec-

there was no importation Of Indian meal, and
the people congIegate in hundreds and thou

force away all the meal and bread they can
lay hold of the military and police are call

sons, and in many places lives were lost; the
unfortunate people fred at and stabbed by
the military. Such is the awful and deplor.
able state of this your native country. God
only knows when this awful and appalling
state of things will cease. Life and proper

'sWil you write TO me and inform me what
prospects there are of getting a sufficient
United States? Was the harvest of thi:
year in America abundant or defective?
have seen in Washington paper that in 1915
the official returns of the Indian meal was
filty-two millions of quarters, and this years
crop would exceed it eighteen millions. This
if true, is consOling; as If that be so, we MAJ
hope for sufficient supply from your present

thrones to his brothers, so the founder of the
Rothschld dynasty has divided Europe among
his sons; having given Austria 10 one; Eng
land to another; to this, PARIS; to that, Naples
and to the eldest, Frankfort, which is the cap
ital of their sovereign fortune. And this
fortune, this power, this great name, are in

Elector of Hesse be,hought himself long
ago of selling his subjects to the English.

ELECToR OF HEssE CAsSBL.-All who
have heard of those hireling soldiers, the
Hessians, and of the part which they took
in the revolutionary war, will be interested
in the following notice, by French writer,
Of that very singular parsonage, the old Elec-
tor of Hesse-C assel.
The gravity of the German people and the
austere sang-froid of his subjects (says the
writer) were shocked by the Iightness of his
character, his frivolous tastes and the ardor
of his passions, which not even The weight of
years could temper. The good Hessians
were particularly offended that he should
have united himself in marriage with simple
baroness, and she, forsooth, divorced baro-
ness. More passionate in love than were the
knights of chivaIry, the ardent Elecior did
not hesitate 10 do what the late King of Hol-
land, following his example, has just done
he sacrificed his throne to love and after
having resigned his crown to his son, he phil
osophically quit his estates, carrying away
with him nothing but his night-cap and his
purse, which contained the sufficiently round
sum of three hundred millions. With the
greatest possible skill, the Elector never
could have saved so much from the sim pie
administration of the governmental finances
He had acquired his riches by bold specu,
lation. During the American war, he sold
his subjects to England, who enrolled them
under her flag and sent them to fight against
American independence. After having made
his fortune in his save-trade OF his white
subjects, the Eector, troubled by the cannon
of Jean and seeing the French armies APP
preaching, trembled for the fate of his
crowns. Not knowing how to save them,
The idea occurred to him TO entrust them to
the keeping of a petty Jewish banker, who
was negotiating in Frankfort on-the Maine
With this money the petty banker. whose
name was Rohschild created the formidable
house, which at the present time governs the
