Seven Years Prisoner OF the Black
Feet Indians-A Horrible History.

On Tuesday last French boy named
Bouillon Wood, made prisoner by the
Blackfcet at the st. Cloud massacre, in
1864, arrived at Manistee, Mich, on his
way to his uncle at Grand Haven. At
this point he gained the first intelligence
of his relatives. He tells the following
story, and from rigid ross.examinatiOn,
and the fact that 1t is the true story of St
Cloud, and his being able to minutely de-
scribe his uncle, there can be no doubt of
his honesty. The redskins attacked his
fathers family and killed all beside him
self and younger sister. His father,
Peter Wood, was scalped and tomahawk-
ell. His mother was ripped open alive,
her entrails taken out, and her infant boy
torn from her arms and impaled on the
fence. His two sisters, aged respectively
twenty and twenty-one, were nailed by
their hands and feet to the wall, scalped,
and afterward tomahawked. The boy
Bouillon, then about twelve years old, was
compelled to witness the dying agonies of
his mother, and tainted at the sight On
recovering. he found himself and little
sister captives. The Blackfeet carried
them to the western slope of the Rocky
Mountains, and on arriving cut off with
a tomahawk the left arm of the boy, and
with a knife cut the girls ears nearly off,
leaving them hanging. This they did to
mark their captives. Here the children
were separated and have never met
since. He remained under close sur.
veillance until the time of his es-
cape, subsisting for nearly seven
years on raw meat and Indian fare. AT
first, before he understood their language,
they abused him dreadfully, but after he
acquired that to some extent they treated
him better. The medicine men tried hard
to cure his arm, but failed, and the boy
suffered with running sore until his es-
cape. About one year ago, while the
camp was asleep, he made his escape
travelling along without gun or other
means of securing game, and 1ubsisting'on
herbs, roots, and Indian potatoes, until he
struck the first white settlement, Pixies
Peak. Here he was cared for and his arm
re. amputated by Dr. Bass He made his
way by slow stages, mostly on foot, TO this
point, passing railroads aud steamboats,
yet unable to get passage, as none believed
him. Here he met with friends, and was
taken charge of by Mr.. Charles Paggest
who asccrtained the truth of his story
raised purse and purchased a pass fol
him to Grand Haven The attention ol
Senator Ferry will be brought to his case,
and he will be glad to make an effort tC
have his little sister sought for by the
Government. The boy is an honest, sim
pie Frenchmal, and bears upon his per
son the marks of his terrible tortures. He
wept when he described the terrible mur
der of his people. Milndukse Neios, Jun,

Words of Comfort to Mothers.

A WOMAN who does all her own work,
who has very little means at her command,
and who, besides, is the mother of several
small children, none of whom are able to
help her, or wait on themselves, but, on
the contrary, require constant attention,
often has weary moments of utter discour-
agement. Her thoughts run somewhat in
this way " am completely tired out, but
my work is not half done. l meant to
have accomplished so much to-day but |
had bad kindling, and the fire has been
poor in consequence; then the baby has
been cross, and the other children noisy
and boisterous, and having them indoors
all the time this cold weather is so tire
some 10 them and to me. Then there are
their little stockings to be knitted, and
shirts for husband to be made-dear me, /
don't see where am going to find the time
TO do them But that is not the worst of
it, My darling children are so neglected,
can't possibly spare the time to train
them Alright; and when l see other per-
sons children so quiet and orderly, and so
neat and well dressed, it makes me feel
badly. | am afraid my children will turn
out miserably. 1t is seldom | ever stop to
correct them as should and il is only on
Sunday afternoon that | ever can gather

story, or appear Ikea real, true mother to
them" Dear mother, be not discour.
aged. That little Sunday afternoon TALK
the distress which you display in your
couutenance whenever your child utters
an evil word, or acts unkindly, and the
prayertul desire on your part TO do them
good, will have its reward. Those little
quiet, peaceful talks will be as grains of
mustard. seed sown in good ground, which,
although the seed is so small that it seems
invisible to the human sight, shall spring
up vigc rous, strong, and irresistible.
If you do the best you can, depend upon
it you shall be rewarded.
Again say, be not discouraged. Those
children who are brought up in refine
ment and luxury, who have servants to
wait upon them, and have every want and
whim gratilied, arc not always the chill
dren who make the strongest and noblest
men aud women. Those little ones who
are partially neglected through an actual
want of time on the part of their parents,
and who have to rough it a little, are apt,
in time, TO fight manfully the battle of life,
Not that | would advocate bringing up a
child to trough it " where circumstances
made different course possible. But do
say there is comfort and hope for the
weary, distressed and discouraged mother
who docs all she can, and more than her
strength really warrants her in doing for
her children.-He0M III and H0Ri0,

How We Used 10 be Physlcked.

Who does not remember the time when spring
purgatiOn was considered indispensable to sum-
mer healthi No matter for wry faces, the inevita-
BILE salts and senna, rhubarb or calomel and jalap,
must be administered. These spring medicines"
the youngsters were told were TO keep them hale
and hearty during the summer. We all know now
that this was fallacy; that new vigor, not deple
tiOn, is what is required at the commencement of
the summer solstce. AS preparation for the en-
ervating effects Of oppressive summer weather,
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is highly ex
pedent This famous vegetable preparation has
three prominent properties: 1t reuovates purihes,
and regulates all the functions of the body. 1t is
composed exclusively OF pure vegetable produc-
tions viz: the essential principle of Monongahela
Rye, and the most efhcacous tonic and Alternative
roots, barks, and gums known to medical botan-
lists. Hence, IL is absolutely safe medicine and
no tinoture of the Pharmacop9ia can compare
with 1t, either In purity, or in the variety of lite
objects, andits comprehensive results. Happily
for mankind, the theory that II was necessary to
PROSTATE patient in order to him, is forever
exploded, and the true philosophical doctrine that
ygor is the great antagonist OF disease, has taken
its place. Hostetter's Bitters is an nvgorant, and
hence II Ia the proper medicine for the feeble at
this most trying season of the year.
Be sure that you obtain the genuine article, as
there innumerable vile limitations in the mar
ket. Look to the ornamental stamp, the engraved
label, and the name blown into the glass. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is sold in bottles only.

The Farmers Workshop.

A WORKSHOP is necessary department
on every farm. Not only necessary, but
/. affords an agreeable variation to the
boys, and in rainy days will furnish them
profitable and pleasant occupation. Give
them a tool chest and supply of tools,
and let them make all such things as rake s,
harrows, hand.sleds, hen coops, mend
harness, cut threads on bolts or burTs, or
anything else they desire Let them ex-
pertinent there as much as they wish, and
by and by you will see them bring out
something useful, save many trips to til
blacksmith's or wagon makers, and many
hard-earned quarters. If variety is the
spice of life" it is surely needed on the
farm where hard and constant labor is the
rule, and recreation is the exception. If
you give them a supply of oil and paints,
you will probably some fine day find the
plows and harrows, or may be the old wag-
on looking like new, in new coat, and
the garden gate smiling TO the passer-by,
in new clean dress. By all means, try
to induce them, both by practice and pre-
cept, TO keep the work bench neat and the
shop orderly, habits thus formed will in.
fluence them through life, and may lay the
foundation for future success. If you can
not teach them yourself, furnish them with
book there are many such published at
such price as will be repaid many times
within year, besides leaving lasting in
vestment Of good effects for a lifetime.-

mainly from the letting out of land and a

gion is q secondary consideration. The
prevailing belief is in Buddhism, which
was first introduced about the year 372 !;
but there appears to be another religion
evidently the original faith ofthe people
and the doctrines of Copernicus are held
in high esteem,
The genuine Corean language is scarcely
Roman, as 1t has become hopclessly cor
rupted by the introduction of numerous
Chinese words, the higher classes using
the Chinese language in all cases. About
the year 1t20 COroa was captured by the
Tartars in 1892 and 1893 by the Japanese,
who were unable TO retain it, and Il fell
under the sway of China, and, as we have
already intimated, the people engage
largely in piracy, and numbers of them
are yearly caught while at work in their
pirate iunks Their treatment of all for
eigners who fall into their hands is most
brutal, and IL was because of their inhu-
manity that the expedition under the
command of Admiral Rogers was sent to
Eastern waters.
