SINGULAR TRADITION.

Among the Seminole Indians there IS sin
rular tradition regarding the white mans ori-
gin and superiority. They say that when the
Great Spirit made the earth, he also made the
men, all of whom were Of fair complexion; and
that after making them, he led them to the
margin Of small lake. and bade them leap
therein. One Immediately obeyed, and came
from the water purer than before he bathed;
tho second did not leap in until the water had
become slightly muddy, and when he bathed
he came up copper colored the third did not
leap in until the waters became black with
mud, and came out with its own color.
Then the Great Spirit laid before them three
packages Of bark, and bade them choose, and out
Of uity for his misfortune in color, he gave the
black man his first choice. He took hold Of
each of the packages, and having felt the
weight, chose the heaviest: the copper colored
one then chose the second heaviest, leaving
the white man the lightest. When the packa-
ges were opened, the first was found TO contain
spades, hoes, and all the implements oflabor !
the second enwrapped hunting, fishing and
warlike apparatus; the third gave the white
man pens, ink and paper--the engine of the
mind-the mutual mental improvement-the
social link Of humanity-the foundation ofthe
white mans superiority.

TOURISTS IN THE AMERICAN FORESTS.
We prepared for the rougher travel on foot
through the mountain forests to Tahawnsi ten b
miles distant. Here the expectant tourist in
this region may be instructed in regard to such E
preparation. Every arrangement should be as
simple as possible. A man needs only stout
flannel hunting shirt coarse and Trustworthy
trousers wooden stockings, large heavy boots
well saturated with composition of beeswax
and tallow, soft felt hat, and strong buckskin
gloves, A woman needs a stout flannel dress,
over shortened crinoline, Of short dimensions,
with loops and buttons to adjust its length a
hood and cape of the same materials, made so
as 10 enyelop the head and bust, and leave the
arms free woollen stockings, stout catskn
boots that cover the legs to the knee well
saturated with beeswax and tallow, and an 1ii
India-rubber satche for necessary toilet mate
rails. Provisions also, should be simple.
The hunters live chiefly on bread or crackers
and maple sugar The usual preparation is IA
sufficient stock Of Boston crackers, pilotbread,
or common loaf bread, butter, tea or coffee,
pepper and salt, an ample quantity OF maple @.
sugar, and some salted pork, to use in frying
or boiling fish, birds and game. The utensils F.
for cooking are aAshort-handled frying-pan, ~
broad and shallow tin-pan tin tea or coffee-pot, %
tin plates and cups, knives, forks and spoons. =
These. with shawls or overeoats, and India
rubber capes to keep off the rain, the guides
will carry, with gun, axe and iistiing-tackie' Y

congregated thounands Of the people.
Hassaurek, Of Cincinnati is also III this
State at present, and is doing a work that
no other man C, uld do. He is one OF the
ablest German speakers in the Union was
a Democrat until Democracy sold itself TO
the Southern disunionIsts, when, like a
true man as he is. he left them and is do
ing gallant service 10 the Republican
ranks. Nearly the whole vast German
vote Of Indiana will be given to the Re.
publican ticket this fall. Indiana has
ceased to be doubtful State. Lincoln is
as sure to carry that State as Ohio, or New
