lucky, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. %
The San Francisco paper is slightly mis-.
taken. According to all authenticated
history, settlement was established
by the early French explorers at Kas.
kaskia, in this State, on the occasion
Of La Salle's second visit to Illinois, il
1858, the same year Philadelphia was
founded, and there is reason to believe
it was maintained without interruption,
as the village of Cahoka was founded
by Father Pinet, u Catholic mission.
ary, sometime afterward One
report even assigns the foundation of
the settlementto Marquette as early as
1913, but this is not generally credited.
The settlement at Kaskaskia, of course,
grew very slowly and for nearlya cen
tury was little more than missionary
and trading station, receiving its ac
cessions of population to a large ex.
tent from Indians and half-breeds, but
there is reason to believe that it was
never entirely abandoned. Still later
viz in 1720-the French established
a chain Of communication from Cana.
da, through Illinois, to the Gulf Of
Mexico, and no doubt French settlers
were scattered along the route. Ac.
cording to some authorities the first
settlement in Indiana was made in
1870, al years ago, and in Missouri il,
1865.

An Angels Visit.

An angel came through the frosty air,
| Mid carol singing and steeple chime;
| A blessing of Peace in his hand he bore,
Sent down by tho King who one winter day
In stable manger baby lay,
| To give us the holy Christmas time;
| And the angel came on his carthward way.
He came to the court where the monarch stood,
In his purple robe and his golden band,
While his people praised him aud called him good,
| ILL his name went echoing through the land;
| And the angel thought it place to stay.
Soon the King passed out to his Abbey quire,
With his mobiles round him in stately pride
When beggar cried from the chilly mire,
But the monarch shuddered and turned aside;
And the angel sorrowed and went his way.
Then he watched by the beggar that mirky morn -
weariful man with load Of pain,
Whe expected nothing but pence and scorn,
Though be often expected the pence in Win;
And the angel thought ii place to stay.
Now meal was sent to the bcggars seat,
And starved dog ca me apd inplor:,l a bcnc,
But the beggar spurned with his naked fcnt
For he took Gods mercy and gave back none;
And the angel sorrowed and went his way.
Then he marked msid in festive scene:
Sweet trilled her voice in the seasons song.
Since last she sang it such change had been
That the one prayer left her was "Lord, ho" long!
And the angel paused on his onward way.
Through all her sorrow she smiled the same,
Lest her gloom should shadow the others glce:
She sang in the light of the Christnas famc,
Though sho sighed in the shade Of the Christmas
tree:
And the angel knew 1t a place to stay
The King had presents Of gems and gold,
The beggar got gifts that Christmas time,
The maiden sat low, with her Voc untold
Yet she felt its weight from her soul unbilld,
For an angel rose on the frosty wind,
Mid carol singing and steeple chime,
And he left his blessing of peace behind.

More About the Massachusetts Ghost.


The Monsoon "jost" is described by
those who have seen it as very tall
womc n attlred in black, closely yelled
and wearing white hood. She has nc

but comes quickly and silently when
but one person is present. and slowly
follows at short distance. Her first
appearance was from one Of the Win
dows of the new church to ayoung man
who was passing late at nj ght, some
three weeks ago. Since then she has
appeared in several places, and to some
half dozen different persons; and men
who were thought insensible to fear
have tremblel in her presence. Last
week, young man in the south part of
the town was passing on foot and alone
through piece of woods, when he was
suddenly confronted by the apparition,
and, thinking to solve the mystery,
asked what was wanted. For u reply
he was knocked down and severely
beaten, and WAS glad enough to escape.
His father who wouldn't believe the
yarn, was served still more roughly
when passing over e., same road a few
nights after, and the ~ of q wealthy
citizen was steadily fc'' we'd by the
spook at uniform dist 'ncs on the
same haunted path the Sunday night
following. She was seen obc morning
about o'clock issuing from the new
church with an armiul of wood, bnt
disappeared and was noticed no more
till late in the evening, when she pur-
sued man from the village to Flyn'ts
quarry, the distance of Il mile, running
the whole way. The most likely theory
is that the "ghost'' is an escaped lll-
natic. but the difficulty is to find where
she keeps herself daytimcs.-,Spring

THE AMERICAN WASHER
RIG $3.50!
THE AMERICAN WASHER SAVES MONEY
TIME, AND DRUDGERY.

The Fatigue of Washing Day no Longer Dread
ed, but Economy Efficiency, and Clean Cloth
ing, Sure
In cangpublic attention to this little machine,
Il few of the invaluable qualities, mot possessed
by any other washing machine yet inyented,) are
here enumerated.
1t is the smallest, most compact most portable,
most simple in construction, most easily operated
A child ten years old, with few hours practice,
can thoroughly comprehend and effectuallyuse it,
There is no adjusting, no screws to annoy no de
lay in adapting IL Is always ready for use 1t
is a perfect little wonderl Ii is q miniature giant
doing more work and of better quality, than the
most elaborate and costly. One half Of the labor
is fully saved by its use, and the clothes will last
One-half longer than by the old plan of the rub
board 1t will wash the largest blanket, or three
shirts at a time, washing thoroughly! In word,
the abluton of any fabric, from Quilt to Lace
Curtain or Cambria Handkerchief, are equally
in the capacity of this LITTLE GEM 1t can be
fastened to any tub and taken OFF atwill.
No matter how deep rooted prejudice may
exist against Washing Machines, the moment this
little machine is seen to perform its wonders all
doubts of its cleaning efficacy and utility are ban
ished and the d0ubter and detractor at once be-
come the fast friends of the machine.
We have testimonials without end, setting forth
its numerous advantages over all others, and from
hundreds who have thrown aside the unwieldy,
useless machines, which have signay failed to
accomplish the object promised in prominent and
loud sounding advertisements.
1t Is as perfect for washing as wringer is for
wringlng. The price, another paramount induce
ment to purchasers, has been placed so low that
IL is within the reach of every housekeeper, and
there Is no article of domestic economy that will
repay the small Investment so soon.
