The Milliner Heiress.


SOME months since we published state
ment to the effect that Miss Gray, a mil
liner of Fort Edward, had become the
fortunate beir to $19,000,000, which her
lover, young Englishmap, had willed to
her upon his dying bed. The main fact
in the case-the heirship-is true; but
we now learn that it was not to the lover
but to his father that Miss Gray is indebt-
ed for her extraordinary good fortune.
1t seems the lover, on his return to Eng
land, like too many others, proved incon'
stant, and married another lady against
his fathers will Whether it was remorse
at his faithlessness or from some other
cause, certain it is that the young man
died in about a year after his marriage,
and left all his property to his father.
The old gentleman was without heirs, and
not having become reconciled to his
daughter in law, upon his death left one
half of his property to the Government
of England, and the remaining half, $19,-
100000, to Miss Gray, the Fort Edward
milliner. The sum was so large that many
people was disposed to doubt its truth
when it first appeared in print, but Miss
Gray has already received the first install
ment of her fortune, $5,000000, from the
British Consul in New York. On Tuesday
last she received dispatch from the Con-
sui announcing that the money awaited
her order, and on the following day she
left Fort Edward for New York, where
it was paid over to her. Troy Times, jan

Slavery in Alaska.

ONE Of the worst evils we have to COM
plain of in Alaska is a system of slavery
that for barbarism cannot De surpassed in
any country under the sun. It is a sys-
tenn that will require years TO- abolish, and
great patience on the part of the white
population and the civilized Indians to
endure. 1t is a system which has been
practiced ever since the discovery OF the
Territory, and tradition tells us that it
was in existence for centuries before.
Slaves can be bought to-day from any
tribe that is in Alaska. Parents will sell
their children for three or four blankets
or few dollars, and have no compunction
of conscience for the use they may be put
to in the future.
When one tribe goes to war with an
other all the prisoners taken by either
tribe are called, treated and used as slaves.
When a chief or any of his family dies 1t
is the custom to kill one or more of these
slaves, SO that the chief or his deceased
relative may have a servant in the other
world to wait on him. About year ago
the old chief of the Sitka tribe died, and
q few days before his death, when his rela-
tiyes were satisfied that he could live but
short time, they selected as a victim for
sacrifice young, healthy, good looking
warrior whom the Sitka tribe had taken
prisoner while at war with one of the
tribes down near Queen Charlotte's Sound.
The slave had been tied up two days
about the time the old chief died, and by
some means some Of his friends were
apprised of his condi ION and Immediately
notified General Davis that the Indian
slave was liable to be killed at any mo-
ment. General Davis had one OF the
chiefs brought before him, and after
long conversation about the foolishness
of such sacrifices he agreed to let the
slave go free, and lest they might attempt.
to put into execution their original idea OF
killing him, General Davis permitted the
Indian to remain in the city where he
would be protected.
The slaves are put to death as follows
As soon as the chief dies the slave is COM
pelled to wash the body of the corpse,
and is then taken out and thrown fiat on
his back and held there when stick OF
wood is placed across his throat and two
Indians sit down on each end OF it, and in
this way strangle him to death: His body
is then placed inside large pile OF WOOD
and burned to ashes.
1t is customary when big chief dies to
put to death two or more slaves. All
slaves taken in war have to act as servants
for the chiefs who own them.-Sst&G
Times.

sufficient to make five-dollar piece was
found. The remaining four panned out,
each, almost the same amount of the pre-
cious stuff. The gold was probably picked
up by the fowls near some claims where
the miners had been sluicing, and it is
presumed that the quicksilver attached to
it caused their death.
The latest method of curing consump-
ton is that practised at an establishment
on the banks of the Rhine called the
"grape cure" Patients have excellent
quarters, plenty of fresh air, and every
day go into the gardens, each one carry
ing basket, which is filled under the
watchful eye of the doctor. The patient
then retires TO pleasant arbor, and slow
ly sucks the grapes. A fine orchestra en-
livens the curing process with excellent
music tits claimed that permanent cures
are effected in from four to six weeks. 4
As A German was repairing clock in
Baltimore, few days ago, the house took
fire, and it was fonnd necessary to remove
the furniture. The German, however,
chung to the table on which was lying the
time piece, and even when it became 'nec-
essary to run the hose through the room,
and the greatest confusion possible was
created, continued working at the clock.
The fire overhead progressed, and the
room becamed filled with smoke, while
hundreds of jets of cold water dropped
around him. Nothing. however, could de-
ter him from finishing his job, and finish
it he did, when, placing the clock under
his arm he descended the stairs and
searched among the crowd for the owner.
He was found, and the persevering me-
chanic, being handed his fee, was asked
why he persisted in remaining. His re-
ply was that he had promisedssto be at a
certain place to transact business at 3
o'clock, and, said he, "I always keep my
word" ipa e t4 'el

Touching Incident.

THE Easton (Pa.) Free Press tells the
following beautiful incident: "We heard
IF an incident concerning the alarm at
ihe school building the other day, which
well illustrated the noble part of human
nature that we give it publication. In
me of the schools there is yonng girl
who is cripple. 1t is the custom of the
Ceacher to allow her, when the scholars
are dismissed, always to pass out first, in
order-that she may escape from the con-
fusion attendant upon the dismissal of so
many children. On Monday last, when
the alarm of fire was sounded, all the
school-rooms were at once emptied of their
contents. While in all of them they
rushed out in dismay and fright, in some
cases leaving everything behind, in the
one where the lame child was there was
perfect quietness and order. All the
scholars, otwithstandingithe noise and
the apparent danger, remained quietly in
their seats till their lame companion had
gotten safely out, and was secure from the
rush, when they with bound cleared the
room. They thought of her safety before
their own. neither fright nor selfishness
induced them to provide for themselves
until they saw her secure from peril.
Such display of consideration and kind
ness VIE have not heard of for many a
day, and when we remember. that it came
from children, it becomes all the more
touching and beautiful"
