ed with proper respect. lie asked Mr..
Stewart to show the officer where he
could obtain such supply Of provisions
as was needed. This officer, who was a
Captain in the Continental army and at
home on Through, had agreed to ac-
company the general III this sudden Wis
1t to Baden, under the hope that he
might exert some influence on the dis
affected. lie was well educated, and
the story Of Mr.. Stewart had deeply af-
fected him. He knew the fate OF chat
unfortunate race, and finding that even
in the wilds of America their destiny
still pursued them, he employed the
first hour Of the journey toward Mr..
Stewards home in conversation relating
to his family in Europe. While thus
occupied, the officer observed that they
passed several we'll stocked farms, but
he did not stop, as Mr.. Stewart had
promised to show him where he could
be supplied. After riding several miles,
Mr.. S. halted in front of q very hum
BILE dwelling, and where the appearan-
ees were most unpfomising for q supply
Of what they needed. StrueIl with the

they had passed, the officer asked Mr..
Stewart why he had brought him so far
and SO meager looking q place, when he
might have supplied himself amply
without travelling third ofthe distance.
Mr.. Stewards reply deserves to be
written in letters Of gold. It was:
"The farms you passed, sir, belonged
to my neighbors this is my own. l
bid you welcome 10 whatever is here!"
The officer, bowling to him, said: eff
fortune has froWned on your family, it
seems unable to deprive them of the

It may not be uninteresting to our
readers to know that the officer here
alluded to was Alfred Moore subsequent
ly Encouragement of North Carolina,
Judge Of the State courts, and an associ-
ate Justice of the Supreme Court Of the
United States. And we may add that
the family of Stewart continued to re-
side for many years in Bladen; that one
of the sons Of the venerable gentleman
mentioned in this incident was for sew
eral sessions, member of the Legisla-
ture of North Carolina, removed to Mis-
sissippi, of which State he died Lieuten-
ant governor; and we have pride and
pleasure in stating that two of the most
conspicuous junior members of the Will

y SPECIAL notice.

1t is our intention to thoroughly sys-
temiZe the business OF the :" New ERA
establishment, and we viii not furnish
papers or do advertising OF jobbing on
indefinite credit. We know that good,
responsible men often allow their &C.
counts to linger from year to year, for
getful that the receipts OF newspapers
are made up of thousands OF small
items like their own, and that credit in
these times is simply starvation, or
bankruptcy to country publishers. In
our system of collections we shall make
no distinction, and all should under
stand that we will enforce the rule with
out regard to persons.
All amounts due on subscription for
The present volume, (Which commenced
in September last are TO be paid to the
new proprietors. The amounts due on
The last years subscription, and on adj
vertising and job work up to this date
completed, will be collected BY the late
owners. They will make their own an
nouncement in regard to it.
Subscriptions due on the present vol
ume, must be paid at once. To those
who do not call at the Office and settle,
bills will be sent, and prompt payment
is expected. In all eases where the pay
ment of subscriptions is unnecessarily
delayed, the paper will be discontinued,
and the account sent out for collection.
The justice and necessity Of this rule
must be apparent to all who give the
subject a moments reflection, and we
confidently expect the hearty co-opera-
ton of all our patrons in the reform.

Booth and the LOTi's Prayer.

In the palmy days of Booth the faith
err of Edwin Booth, now performing at
the Brooklyn Theatre the great TRACE
dian, together with several friends, was
invited co dine by Il person who was OPP
posed TO theatres and theatre-g oings-
and yet who had curiosity enough to
wish to see something of the lion of the
day. During the evening, some one re-
quested Booth, lis a particular favor, to
read the Lords prayer. He expressed
his Willingness to afford the company
this qualification, and all eyes turned
eXpectantly towards him. Slowly and
reverently he arose. All were astonish-
ed at the play of emotion that cOnvulsed
his countenance His face became
deathly pale, and his eyes tremblingly
turned upwards, We're wet with tears.
The silence could almost be felt; it be-
came absolutely painful before his rich
toned voice from the death-hued lips
indescribably syllabled forth, "Our faith
err who art in heaven, etc." Every
heart was thrilled with the pathos and
solemnity Of the occasion. After he
had finished the silence continued, UNI
til a subdued sob from remote corner
OF the room broke the spell. The host
stepped forward with streaming eyes
and Selling Booth by the hand said:
"Sir you have afforded me a pleasure
for which my whole future life will feel
grateful. l am an old man, and every
day from my boyhood to the present
time l thought | had repeated the
Lords prayer, but have newer heard
IL before, never"

hatlian 44bility and Inlium ShiH.

The name of each tribe of Indians has
Specification, which is represented by
a sign that is we'll understood by them
all.
The Camanche, or ''snake,' is indi-
Gated by making with the hand wav-
ing motion, in imitation of the crawl
ing of the reptile.
The Cayenne, "Cut Arm" by draw
ing the hand across the arm to initiate
cutting it with a knife.
Arapahoes, or "Smellers,e by selling
the nose with the thumb and forefnger.
The Sioux, or ''Cut throats," by draw
ing the hand across the throat.
The Pswnee's, or evolves" by plac-
ing hand on each side of the forehead,
with two fingers pointing to the front,
to represent the narrow, sharp ears of
the wolf.
The Grow, by initiating the tapping
of the birds wings with the palms Of
the hands.
On approaching strangers the prairie
Indians put their horses at full speed,
and persons not familiar with their pc
culiarities and habits might interpret
this as an act of hostility; but it is their
custom with friends as well as enemies,
and should not occasion groundless
alarm.
When party is discovered approach
ing thus, and are near enough to distin
guish signals, all that is necessary in
order to ascertain their disposition is to
raise the right hand, with the palm in
front, and gradually push it forward
and back ward several times. They all
understand this to be command to
halt, and If they are not hostile, it will
at.once be obeyed.
The astonishing aptness of the Indian
in Cracking" is shown by this interest
ing passage from Il writer on Indian
character:
Almost all the indians whom have
met with are proficient in this species of
knowledge, the faculty of acquiring
which appears tobe innate within them.
Exigencies of woodland and prairie life
stimulate the savage from childhood to
develop faculties important in the acts
of war and of the chase.
l have seen very few white men who
were good trailers, and practice did not
seem very materially to improve the
faculties in this regard. They have not
the same acute perceptions of these

branch of woodcraft can be taught from
books, as it pertains almost exclusive.
ly to the school OF practice; yet | will
give some facts relating to the habits of
the Indians that will facilitate the ac-
quirements:
A party Of Indians, for example, start
ing on a war exclusion, leave their fam
lilies behind. And never transport their
lodges; whereas, when they move their
families, they carry their lodges and
other effects.
If, therefore, an Indian trail is dis
covered with the lodge poles upon it.
it has certainly not been made by a war
party; but if they do not show the trace
