Burchurd the RevivaIist.

Concerning the eccentric revivalist Burch-
ard. whose peculiar ard aggressive style Of
preaching the kingdom coming, created such
an excitement in various parts of the country
years ago, many anecdotes have been told !.
and scores of others might be related. We
are informed that at an inquiry meeting one
evening, a man seemed powerfully affected
by the prevailing spirit, and rose to speak,
bur stood irresoluto for moment.
''Go on, hrother!r shouted Rurchard
Some one explained that the man wished to
speak but that. though he understood Eng
lish. he could only communicate his ideas
in German.
"Ill warrant you the Lord can understand
your Dutch lingo. if We can't"
Burchard was man of great readiness.
and would not take rebuff, If he could help
it. To keen himself even with class of
.fellows of the baser sort" who came TO his
meetings to scof. ne often used their own
weapons. One night he observed notorious
reproha,e sitting back near the wall, chew
ing tobacco. lie was one of the hard cases
of the village. aid drank more drains ard
swore more oaths than any other two in il.
Burchard had no hope that he came for any
directly for him.
"Glad to see you here. Brother D" he
exclaimed, heartily. Coming out on the
Lords eide to night?';
NO"
"Odon't say that. Burc,iard urged. "The
Lord has need Of you Won't you Gomez"
Not by ID sight"
The surrounding scalawags chucxled at
this bold shot but 3urchard, not bic dash

''What, won't you join those who love your
soul -

FIGHT WITH A GRIZZLY BEAR.-The San
Joaquin Republican of March l4th relates the
following
From j. A. Crow, of this city, who has
just returned from a trip up the river, We
learn rhe following particulars concerning o
desperate fight which took place few days
since between two hunters and grizzly bear
W. d. Fowler end George Day were out
hunting in the hills near 0ristemba creek,
on the west side of the San joaquin river, in
Stanislaus county, and came upon q large
female grizzly bear, which they commenced
firing at. The bear retreated slowly, and f.
naly went to her lair in some underbrush.
The men kept up steady fire at her at long
range, the bear fighting desperately, tearing
the brush and breaking limbs, but refusing
to leave her position. After while thev
noticed her carry off, one at q time, two small
cubs and hide them in ths brush. Finding
their range too long to be effective, the hug
ters undertook TO reach position nearer the
bear by going around hill, and Just when
they were ascending the knoll to get a sight
Of her she suddenly came over the brow and
dashed at them in most ferocious manner.
When discovered she was so near them that
escape was impossible, and the men stood
their ground. On sue came, tearing up the
bushes and biting the shrubs. When within
ten feet of Fowler he fired, and the shot broke
her neck. She FELL and shot from Days
rifle passed through her heart. 1t was mar
row escape. The hunters captured the two
cubs the mother had hid in the brush, and
another which still remained in the nest.
The two cubs hidden in the brush were coll.
ored precisely alike. while the one remaining
in the nest Was somewhat darker, from which
the hunters conclude that the old bear they
killed had only secreted her own young, and
that the one remaining in the nest belonged
to another bear and another family.

Peace from her azure throne in light,
Descends TO bless a stormy world.
Der passion. strife and conflicts Light,
Her silken banner is unfarled
And conQuering hnsts-sh army grand.
Must tramp, tramp back to Fatherland.
No more grim warriors, tried and true,
Flush with the bsftle's fiery breath
No more with fearful Mitp alleuse.
Sweep DER the furrow ell fields Of death
Nor strive in conflict hand 20 hand,
But tramp, tramp back to fatherland.
Confusion, wreck. and comrads slain,
Must be forgot and left behind,
For glory giids the br,sken chain
Ambition wrought, in madness blind,
And ushers In the last command,
To tramp. tramp back to Fatherland.
Imperial power dethronei and tossed,
bubble on ths tide OF war.
With pride subiued. and prestige lost,
Dreams Of the carnage from afar,
And ot that fearless iron band.
Who tramp, tramp bac& To Fatnerland.
The watch again is on the Rhine;
There loved ones wait for loves return,
To pledge in sparkling ruby wine.
Their fathers. brothers. veterans worn,
Who now from fortress, field ahd strend,
Goes tramping back to fatherland.
And there for all the thousands slain,
Are fearful mournful ygls kept,
Fond hearts will weep aud wait in vain,
But never, never can forget.
How msrched-how sleep that silent band.
To ne'er tramp back to Fatherland.

sQUAWs.
AN ESSAY BY a SMALL BOY.

A squaw is an Indian woman. She is gen.
orally the wife of big Injun man. She does
all the hard work. She raises corn, beans,
potatoes, whiskey, babies and other yegeta-
bles for her Injun. She carries the wood,
makes the fires, cooks the victuals and blacks
his boots, while her big Injun sits in the par
lor and reads his newspapers or loafs st a gro
Gerry aud talks "hoss" to other loafers. When
he comes home late at night, drunk, he whips
his squaw because supper is not ready. A
squaw works like horse and gets a likin'
for her pains. But suppose she likes it, or
else why does she put up with it? But know
a good many squaws among white people.
They do all the work at home, take in wash
ing or sewing, and support the family, in
cluding the big Injun, while he is very busy
drinking, gambling or fishing. The white
squaws generally have house full of young
ones. And they soon learn to treat her as
their father treats her. She drndges in the
kitchen while her daughters CAD about the
street, or sit at the window and look at the
people. But the white squaw don't want
them TO work. She wants them to be ladies'
They don't 60 to school, they don't work,
but they will dress we'll aud after while
they turn out something else than ladies.

How WEEDS MIGRATE AND MULrrPLY-Tt
is stated that there are now no less than two
hundred and fourteen weeds, which have
been introduced into the United States from
foreign countries. and principally from Eng
land. As proof of the rapi litv with which
useless plants are accidentally brought over
the seas, il is said that in 1887 there were on
ly one hundred and thirty-seven foreign
weeds known in this country. As far hack
as 1872. a curious little volume called "New
England Rarities," gave list of twenty-five
plants, which the author considered had
sprung ur since the English had kept cattle
IN New England. The author mentions the
"plantain." which he SAYS the Indians calls
the "Englishman's font," as though produced
nv the tread oc the white settlers. The COM
mon 'vellnw-toad fax, - it is stated, was orr
ginallv introduced into the Province of Penn
svlvania. as a garden flower. by Mr.. RAN
stead, Velshman. residing in Philadelphia,
from whom it has derived the name of RAN
stead weed" In 1853 this weed had over
run the pastures in the inhabited part of
Pennsylvania. and was tho cause of bitter
com plants from the agriculturists of that
day. Chickeu-weed. it is stated, was intro
duced into South Carolina as food for cana
rv birds. ard in ten years spread tor upwards
of fiftv miles, and now occupies the outposts
of civilization The Scotch thistle is said to
have been brought to America by clergy
man. who carried with him bed stuffed With
thistle-down, in which some seed remained.
Feathers. being cheap in the new country,
were substituted for the down, which was
soon emptied out. and the seed springing up
filled the country with thistles. Another ac-
count says some enthusiastic Scot introduced
tie thistle as an emblem of his country, which
soon made itself at home aud became q nui-
sance.

On motion of Mr.. Hamlin, the Senate tcok
up the resolution to continue the ;rve.r;S.-
tion by the special committee Of Ku.Kluk out
RACES in the South, during the irst session
of the Forty-second Congress.
Mr.. Casserly Dem, Cal moved 10 amend
by requiring that the proceedings Of the com
mittee he published. His object was to pre-
vent false impressions upon the public hv
one-s'ded newspaper statements of the testi
mony.
MIR. Blair (Dem., Mo.l, one of the Demo-
cratic members upon the investigation. refer
red to statements OF the testimony before tina

Chairman Mr.. Scottl before a Repuhiican
caucus. He was confident no such statements
had been made, because there was no tru,h
In them. There was no evidence before the
committee rising to the dignity of fact in
support OF such statements. He desired ths
testimony made public ia order that the
whole communities. rs well as the individu-
ais whose character was now secretly malivn-
ed, might have an opportunity TO disprovs
the accusations.
MIR. Scott Rad, Pa.) said secrecy was not
desired by the members of the committee,
but was necessary for the protection of wit
nesses, some of whom had appeared before
the committee at the risk of their lives.
Mr.. Blair thought the objection not valid,
as the names of the witnesses and their testi-
mony would eventually all be published II
communities were not allowed TO defend
themselves from elimination of unknown per.
sohs the whole investigation would be simply
Mr.. Eayard Dem, Del.l the other Dem
ocratic member of the committee, inquired
whether the continuance of the committee
would have the effect t. invrlidnte testimony
already taken. lie did not desire that that
should be lost. Complaining of the efforts
which had been made to forestall public ssn-
tment by means of one-sided petitions, MIR.
Bayard had read paragraph from an Ala
hama newspaper. headed "A Minister Ku-
kiuxed." the purport Of which was that q
Methodist preacher had been assaulted by
some nine men in disguise, because he had
attempted to preach the Gospel to black peo-
pie. An official investigation was made un-
der direction of the Governor of Alabama,
when it turned out that the supposed preach
er was fugitive from justice, charged with
having committed rape in Georgia, aud in
stead Of preaching the Gospel was inci,irg
the negroes to violent assertions Of their po-
litical equality. 1t had also appeared that
the story of the outrage had originated en-
tirely from the fact that the owner Of the
estate upon which this man was staying,
upon venturing to demonstrate with him, was
assaulted by him with knife.
Mr.. Casserly's amendment was then re-
jected and the resolution adopted.
