Indians as IsrRl;tes.

\ correspondent of the Phrenologi-
cal Journal, writing from the South,
gives the following statement:
Among the points of resemblance
which seem to give plausibility to the
theory that the American Indians are
descendants of remnant of the los
tribes of Israel in a custom of their
agreeing in its main features with one
described in the book Of Leyiticus.
According to the Indian usage, the
nearest OF kin had right to slay the
murderer whenever he found him, dur
ing the interval that elapsed from the
time the deed was done till the green
corn festival; but if the murderer
eluded his pursuers up to that time,
and then effected an entrance into the
sacred circle of the dancers. he was
safe from the "avenger of blood"
This ''avenger" had it also in his power
to grant the murderer respite. An
old white settler. who liyed in this
country before the Indians left, tells a
story of one who was thus respited for
fortnight, at the end of which time
he was to meet the avenger Of blood
at designated spot to be put TO
death. Every day during the interval
the doomed man approached the rem
devious and sang his death song, re-
capitulating his deeds of prowess and
his immortality of glory. At 8 o'clock
on the fair spring morning of the ap-
pointed day the victim and the execu,
TONER appeared under the shining
green leaves of the beech, liz the heart
of the dewy forest glade. The white
hunter had concealed himself near and
looked on eagerly, half expecting to
see the victim sue for mercy, or the
stern executioner relent from his pur-
pose but no, he first placed himself at
the right distance, crossed his arms on
his breast and looked calmly ON the
face OF the avenger, who cooiiy taking
aim, shot him through the heart.

Feeling that fellow creatures life
was in danger, first, Taylor's boy
threw into the cistern piece of plank

Taylor's boy.

the top of his voice The well is full
