AN AGED WARRIOR. Tarmahhah Zone
eye, )the well known Indian chief and warrior,
was in Wabashaw, Mimi, last week. He is
supposed to have been born about the year
1855, according to the Wabashaw Herald,
which would make him 104 years of age. He
was chief, says that paper, one of Red Wings
bands Of Sioux, and in the war of 1912, fought
nobly and gallantly with the Americans against
the British He was also on the side of the
Americans in the Black Hawk war; and has rem
dered the whites valuable services at other times
The Herald gives copy Of the commission
given him by Gov Clark, of Missouri, in 1925.
Old Tarmahhah takes great pride in showing
this commission, aud also demands cushpop
for sight of it. The marks of extreme old age
are visible in his countenance. H. Is childish
and imbecife, and is but wreck of the once
mighty warrior who led his braves to battle and
to victory.

SB A correspondent Of the Trenton True
American in writing to that paper says II call
your attention and that Of the press of the State
to the great injustice done to the State of New
Jersey in the article written by the Hon. Ed.
ward Everett, and published in the Neac York
Ledger of this week
In that article the author, in giving history
of the Constitution of the United States and its
ratification by the States, asserts, or at least
leaves the inference 10 be drawn, that Georgia
was the third State to present its ratification.
Now | need not refere to authorities to show
the well known fact that Ne,c Jersey was the
thard State in the order of ratification and not
Georgia And still further injustice is done
for while all the other States are enumerated by
name and the dates of their respective ratifca-
lions, no mention or allusion whatever is made
to New Jersey, and it docs not appear by that
article that she ever gave in her consent and
approval of the Constitution, although she was
one of the first to do SO. | think our press
ought to notice this singular inaccuracy, com
ing as it does from such high authority.-E.
