THE HERALD.


There is not fercer or more un-
forgiving wild fowl, even in the flesh,
than your North American Indian !;
aud now it seems that in the spirit
he is equally pnctilious and prone to
cavil to the ninth part Of hair. This
is proved by long-winded legend
which Mr.. Thomas r Hazard sends
TO The Banner Of Light newspaper
1t seems that Mr.. B. called on "a me-
dium," expecting a communication
from deceased relative, when who
should come but Old Teeumseh. Nat
urally disappointed, Mr.. b. exclaim-
ed, thoughtlessly ''Tecumseh may
90 to hellw Not rap could he get
on the mahogany after that all the
spirits made common cause with the
insuIted chieftain, except, perhaps,
the spirit of Col Johnson, who killed
him. Whenever after that Mr.. b.
visited the supernatural board, all
the answer be could get was eco to
hell"
The poor man became discouraged,
and fancied, perhaps, that the devil
would have him after all, no matter
how much money he might pay to
the "mediums." In his despair he
called upon Mr. Hazard, who advised
him TO visit the first medium, and
through her OF him make o handsome
apology to Tecumseh. He did 30; but
it was mo co." if we Iaay use such
familiar phrase while speaking on
such gu awful subject for Tecumseh
was in the sulks, and kept bis spirit
ual war-paint on.
At last the shadowY brave offered
TO forgive the man who told him to
ego to hell" on one. condition. Tie
offender must strip himself to his
shirt, and crawl one mile in the snow
on his hands and knees But Mr.. f..
was as stiff az Mr.. Tecumseh, and
swore that he would do nothing of
the kind 80 that matters now re-
main in tho old unsatisfactory condi'
ton.
Ii il funny, however, to read Mr..
Hazards grave commentary on this
ridiculous story. "Now we all know, F."
says the sage, "that the North Amer
lean Indian is ALIKE remarkably
strong in bis friendship and his en-"
nifty, and that bis faculty Of pcrcep-
ton IL keener than that Of the white
man" "Stnl," continues the com.
mcniator, 81 have but little doubt
but that, if Mr.. d. had performed the
penanee faithfully, the Indian would
have forgiven him
Our view Of the matter il somwhat
different, Crawling on hands and
knees ono milo in tho snow and in
ones shirt is Il process likely to be
followed by severe cold with subse-
quent diphtheria and final Death
We should DO sorry to Judge old Te
cumseh uniustly, but our opinion is
that he was on the war-path, and af>
ter Mr. y. scalp. 1t may be argued
that spirits do not grow scalps Why
not2 IL they wear garments, play
on liddles, sing anthems, and eat din.
ners, why shouldn't they have hand
some heads Of hair? The Indian
knew what he was about and Mr. u.
has real reason for apprehension, for
the outraged Tecumseh may have
him yet.-N. Y. Tribune.

Bostonian looks upon any interference
with the public schools rs little short of
sacrilege, believing them beyond cavil.
In sooth, they are admirably conducted in
most particulars, but not yet beyond the
reach Of Improvements. for all that The
advocates aforesaid desire to open our
high schools to female pupils along with
the males. asserting that the girls, normal
school does no. afford the required oppor-

classical education, or at least, not to the
same extent ~ in the boys, High School.
There is something to be said on each
side in the matter Of educating the youth
Of both sexes under one roof and in the
same classes. But, unless our social sys-

this proposed change on moral grounds.
In a future letter may allude to this
again, to show that there is need of more
attention 10 the morals Of our pupils.

Suicide at Banuor,

BANGOR, May 10. Mr.. Vernon Mason
formerly driver of the Ellsworth stage,
but for a few years past in the employ of
Eldridge & Shaw, painters, of this city,
died at his house in West Bangor this
morning Circumstances have Just come
to light which clearly indicate that it was
case of premeditated suicide. The
facts are substantially as follows: We'd
nesday morning Mr. Mason tried to pur-
chase a small quantity of strychnine at
Ingraham's drug store, but was refused
by the clerks. He then went to some
other place not yet known and bought a
two-ounce vial of laudanum. He then
went home entered his chamber, took the
entire contents of the vial, went into stable
and lay down by the side Of Il pen and fell
into stupor. After some time his wife
found him and dragged him into the house.
He remained in half delirious state till
this morning, when he died. The coroner
decided that an inquest was unnecessary.
No motive can be alleged for this act, as
the deceased was in good circumstances
and health.

The Connecticut Senatorship.

Senator Ferry, OF Connecticut espoused
the Liberal Republican cause, and has
stood maniully by Schurz and Trumbull.
His term being about to expire, it devolves
upon the Legislature to choose success
sor, and the matter has for few days
past been before that body. The admins
tration candidate is Elk Gov. Hawley, reg
ularly nominated in caucus; but from him
there has been a large detection of Greeley
republicans. The Democrats resolved in
caucus to support Ferry. On the first
ballot, Tuesday, Ferry carried the house by
sixteen while the Senate went for Hawley
by seven-making no choice. On We'd
nesday a second ballot was to had, from
which we have no advices, but it was con-
coded that Ferry would be chosen-a re-
suit immensely more satisfactory than the
election of Hawley.

The laborer and His Hire.

The speech of Mr.. Burchard, of Hi
nois, upon the tariff, says the Chicago
Tribune, is receiving the highest plaudits,
not only from the friends of revenue re-
form, but from those opposed to him in
opinion. 1t is represented as most able
discussion of the protective system of
legislation, and he startled the house by
his array of the enormous bounties and
subsidies voted by congress under the
tariff laws to comparatively few per-
sons in comparatively few states. The
New York Tribune affects an astonlsh-
ment that Mr.. Burchard should speak of
taxes levied for the benefit of individuals
as 'bounties," but that is the way in
which the country generally now regards
the thing, and Mr.. Burchard but gives
expression to the popular Judgment
If workingmen find it difficult to pay
rent, purchase fuel, provide food, and get
clothing for themselves and families, per-
haps they will find an explanation of the
fact in the following table, given by Mr..
Burchard, of the proportion of an expen-
diture of 1913 which is paid for few
articles of positive necessity. and the pro-
portion which is paid for tax. Only such
articles are selected as every man having
a wife or sister must expend perhaps

Mrs Clifford belongs in Stockton, Me,
and had sailed in company with her hus-

which She took great interest in the pro-
lesson OF her husband, by whom she was
taught the art Of navigation. 10 the pres

highest credit upon her sex, and presents
an example of patience and tortitude

Capt Clifford, her late husband, was
about 50 years old, and was highly re-
epected for his excellent character and
skilliul seamanship.
The brig has since arrived at New
York. The captain, mate and two sea-
men had died at sea.
