Of his grievances and those Of his
people, with reference tO th1 Ben.
Wright afray. lie said that the
white men murdered his people years
ago, and that what lie had done was
only in payment Of old debts. He did
not enter into details. but left the in-
tcrpreter (:'Scar-faccd Charley'') to
patch up the story. \ critical study
OF Jack face corroboratcS the impress
sion derived 1T first eht. he is 4
thornunt Tndi,n His head i larua
quite square, and Set firmly on his
shoulders. His eyes are black and
bright, and his face broad with pro'ni-
ncnt check bones. His nose it sym
mctrical and slightly aquilinc. Ills
lips are thin. clean cut, and combined
with his chin, Indicate that rc<oiu-
tcncs$ Of purpose that has won him
such notoriety. His complexion is
dark, and his face has q pleasant look.
Take him in all, he is striking man.
Place him among the bands, and he
would be taken for chief by any OBJ
serving stranger. Those who have
seen him do not wonder that he is the
leader of the Mcdocs. Though in
chains and on the brink of eternity
he is yet feared and respected by the
Indians about him. His nearest COM
pauion in chains, Schonchin, is about
fifty years of age, is wrinklcd, and has
the william depicted in every line Of
his face. lie wears his hair short. and
stands about five feet in his mocca-
sins Boston Charley is about twcn-
ty-fvc years old. His face is expires
sionlcsS. Jack would attempt to cs-
cape if he had Il chance, even at the
risk Of being shot down. Probably
he never realized that his death was
inevitable until the irons were placed
on his feet. Scar-faced Charley SAYS
Jack told him he could get clear wncn
the white men were asleep. This was
before the irons were brought into use.
General Davis is satisfied that Jack
did try to escape last night, and
through the aid Of confederates on the
outside. for upon examination Of his
shacklcs this morning it was found
that one Of the riyctS had been filed
nearly i'll two. His legs only arc con,
fined.

a QUEER HISTORY.

More years ago than almost
anybody now here can remember,
there lived on the cast side Of the
river \ family consisting Of the
mother and several small children.
At the time when our story be-
gins there were no bridges across
the Huron, and at seasons Of high
water q sort Of scow attached to q
rope stretched across the stream
was used as Il ferry. The woman
Of whom we speak was employed
on the west side Of the river, and
by some means was thrown. out
of tie scow while returning home,
as well rs another passenger:
and both were drowned. Thus
these small children were left
wholly uncarcd for, except by the
casual assistance of the very few
and scattered emigrants.
The body Of the second person
drowned was recovered almost
Immediately, while that Of the
woman was not found until some
time, when the water had subsid-
cd. During this period the chill
drea, too smallto fully. realize how
their mother could be thus sudden
ly snatched away, especially Iit
tie girl among them, disconsolatc-
ly strolled up and downthe stream
calling for their protector. With
What care they got they grew to
man and womanhood, but melan'
choly had settled upon the girl,
which never left her, and at length
she was placed, with the hope Of
recovery, in an institution in the
State of New York. Eventually
the male children became the own
crs Of $50 acres Of land IN this
county, on which there is good
! house, barn, etc. They then sent
and brought their sister back TO
live with them; and the family,
whose whole history it would
be too long to follow, consisting
Of two men and the sister, still
cling together and live almost as
solitaires. But the greatest SIN
gularity is their rcpugnance to
living in house. 1t will seem
incredible when We say that, with
i comfortable house of their own,
two Of them have lived the
whole winter, and are still liv'
lngand sleeping: out Of doors
One yielded to the weather, or
the opportunities of the neigh
bors, and took lodging in q
house: .he others continue THEN
strange way of living. How do
they live, the reader is ready to
ask, with the thermometer 30'
below zero? Their kitchen is an
enclosure Of logs, simply breast
high, without the least sign OF q
roof: The logs serve TO keep
away cattle and animals. Ihell
sleeping apartments, not in this
inciosure, arc rails and logs laid
up slanting, so as to leave u low
hollow, which is filled with au'
! tumnal leaves, in which they bury

ABOUT NEW BOOTS.

1t is little singular how well .
pair Of boots can be made to fl
at the store. You may be able to
get your foot only part way down
the leg at the first trial, but that is
because your stocking is damp, Or
you have not started right, and
the shoemaker suggests that you
start again, and stand up to it.,
and he throws in . little powder
from pcppcr-box to aid you. And
so you stand up and pound down
your foot, and partly trip yourself
up, and your eyes stick out in ali
unpleasant manner, and every
vein in your body appears to be
on the point OF bursting, and all
the wk:lc that dealer stands
around and eyes the operation as
intently as if the whole affair was
perfectly new and novel to him.
When your foot has finally struck
bottom. there is FAINT impression
on your mind that you have step
ped into an open stove: but he re.
moves il by so!cmnly observing
that he never saw a boot fit quite
as good as that. You may sug-
gcst that your toe pres too hard
against the front, or that some Of
the bones in the side Of the foot
are too much smashed; but he SAYS
this is always the way with . new
boot, and that the trouble will en-
tirely disappear in Il few days.
Then you take the OLD pair under
your arm, and start for home as
animated rs relic Of 1912, all the
while feeling that the world will
not look bright and happy to you
again until You have Drained that
shoemaker. You limp down town
the next day, and smile the while
with your mouth, while your eyes
look as if you were walking over
an oyster bed barefoot. When no
one is looking You kick against Il
post or some other obstruction
and show a fondness for stopping
and resting against something that
will sustain your weight. When
you get home at night you 60 for

GOOD SsG6gT.

Good night-good night
The hour OF parting brings the hour OF
dreams,
Be thy sleep calm and deep,
\ spell Of down on silken cyelids laid;
Dttn cen our pillows distance only seems,
And darkness is rs d transparent shade,
And sweetest speeches silrnces enclose,
Like roses perfume folded in the rose
Growing intense as silence deeper
grows:
Goodnight!
Gocd-nis!t-good night!
These parting words are but II tender cheat;
For still We know that whether We may
Beyond arms reach, or wide as worlds
apart,
Together we shall throb at each heartbeat;
Thrilled by the same electric dart,
Shot from the arch gods arched bow,
Through either bosom's wall Of SHOW
Forever and forever be it so!
Goodnight,

-:O:-
Ny Cousin Hortensc was very
handsome, and i great tlirt be-

didn't know what that meant, bat

Hortcnsc WAS \ good naturcd
girl us ever lived, but it seems as
natural Us her prettlness for 4
pretty girl to hirt.
Nv cousin had three lovers.
She had scores OF. them for that
matter, but there were three who
really seemed resolved that they
would not take mo for an an
swer.
First anA foremost, because Of
his money, and because my uncle
favored him, WAS Mr.. ClemeEs-
"Father Lnke," Hortense called
him in derision. His name was
Luke Clemens, and he was old
enough to be Hortensc grandfath-
er ior that matter.
Why he wanted blooming
Young girl for 4 wife at his age
nobody knew. But he WIS very,
very rich.
lis house stood on IN eminence
lust out Of town, and looked like
4 eereat white marble palace.
1t was furnished in the most
cxtravagant and luxurious style,
and to see the insidc Of 1t was
enough to make any woman eX-
pire with desire to be mistress OF
its elegance.
Hortense could not withstand
it's destinations, and in the end she
agreed 10 marry Father Luke for
the sake. of it, but not yet
Next on the list was Raynall
Ford. Raynall Ford was French
on his mothers side. He had long
black hair, silky and fine as a
woman's and he parted 1t in the
middle and combcd it straight be-
hind his ears as a woman might.
1t gave him . very odd look, tn.
ken in connection with his red
checks and heavy moustache.
lie had not Il ghost Of a chance
Of winning Uortense, though he
would not sec it, for neither my
nncle nor my cousin liked him.
Hortensc used to say it made
her shiver only to look at him,
and l was afraid Of him myself:
lie used to mul,cr in French, and
hiss ont sharp words under his
breath when he WAS angry, that
made me want to shrik away out
Of his sight.
lie was not welcome at my un-
cIe's house, but there was no eN-
cuse for treating him otherwise
than courtcously, and he came OF

POWER OF MEMORY.

DR.. Johnson, it is said, never
forgot any thing he had seen,
heard or read. Burke, Clarendon,
Gibbon, Locke, Tilotson, were all
distinguished for strength Of mcm-
DRY. When abiding to this sub
jcct, Sir William Hamilton ob-
serccs:-For intellectual power Of
the highest order, none were dis.
tinguished above Grotius and Pas
cal: Grotius and Pascal forgot no.
thing they had ever read or
| thought. Lcibnitz and Enler were
not less celebrated for their intel
ligencc than for their memory;
and both could repeat the whole
OF the ::-Eneid." Donollus knew
the "Corpus Juris" by heart; and
yet he was one Of the profoundcst
and most original spectators in
jurisprudence. Ben Johnson tells
that he could repeat all that he
had ever written, and the whole
books that be had ever read.
Themistoclcs could call by their
names the twenty Thousand
citizens Of Athens. Cyrus is re-
ported to have known the name Of
every soldier in his army. Hor
tcnsius CATER Cicero, the greatest
! orator Of Romc), after sitting i
whole day at Il public sale, cor
rcctly enunciatcd from memory
all the things sold, their prices
and the names Of their purchas-
crs. Nicbuhr, the historian, was
no less distinguished for his mem
ory than for his acuteness. In his
youth he was employed in Den
mark. Part Of a book Of accounts
having been destroyed, he restor-
cd it by an effort OF memory.
The following old but good AZ
ticlc, conveys good idea Of the
pleasure and ease attending and
editing Of a newspaper:
"Editiny 4 paper is 4 very plea
SAINT thing. II it contains too
much political matter, people
won't have it; if it contains too
little, they won't have it. If the

is too small, they can't read it. If

what they have not read in some
other paper. If we give i man q

surcd for being partial; if we do
not, all hands say we arc a great

folks say that We dare not do 9TH

and attend to business, folks say

\ friend says: Going to Cape
May the other day, we saw 4 man
leaning over the railing Of the up
per deck, and with violence giving
to the winds the contents Of his
stomach. just at this juncture
one of the boats officials walking
briskIy by, asked in a patronlzins
manner, "sick sir?' Iau don't
suppose I'm doing this for fun do
you?" said the poor fellow indlg-
nanlly, as soon as be could recov-
or his breath.
