Damascus Steel.

AWAY in Syria, Persia, Bcloochistan
and among the inhabitants along the
shores Of the Caspian Sea- there is made,
in way unknown to the outside world,
a quality of steel which for certain pur-
poses has never been equaled by the Ut
most care and skill of European artists
This is the celebrated Damascus steel
Time and again have men of science and
skilful artisans penetrated the far East
and sought to obtain from the rude
smiths of Caboel and Ispahan the secret
OF their art, but it has been guarded too
we'll. The probable cause of the superior
quality of this metal is to be found in the
material, the ore. In some measure the
manipulation and skill of the artisan may
add to its excellent quality when forged
into cimetcrs. Burnes relates that when
he was in Cabool a cimeter was shown
to him made at Ispahan in the time of
Abbos the Great, which was valued at
5000 rupees. Two others, made at
Teheran, were valued at / 500 rupees for
the blades. Various attempts have been
made in Europe to initiate this metal
The French, particularly, have spent
much, both of time and money, and have
produced limitations which looked we'll
real pretty patterns-but the quality was
wanting. The wonderful elasticity, tc.
nacity and temper of the Damascus was
wanting. A third blade which Burncs
saw was of Persian make and had'bc-
longed to Nadir SHAH Another was
made in KhOrassan. The blades tinkled
like bells, and were said 10 improve by
age. Nobody in Europe or America
knows the secret of making Damascus
stecl.-tSt. Louis Rep,>blican.

Curious Incidents.

Correspondents of the Boston Tynn-
scrapt are relating instances of curious
condolences. We quote: "a gentleman
dreamed about Commencement time of
college mate whom he never knew we'll
or cared for especially, and had not seen
or heard of or thought of for decade
Next day he saw him in Boston He had
lately returned from a protracted absence
from the country. A lady dreamed of
an old family servant who quit her house
years ago, settled at distance, and was
as much segregated from her and
stranger to her thoughts as though in
habiting another sphere of existence
She called on her within twenty-four
hours
About dozen years ago met one
day, on Washington street, as thought,
citizen of a distant town with whom
had long before a slight acquaintance,
but whom had not seen or thought of
for many years. AS we passed each other
saw it was not he, but two blocks
farther on met the very man. Having
had one similar experience before, this
became the more strongly impressed
upon my mind. About two years after
was walking one evening on fremont
street, on the sidewalk lately removed,
and when near West street gate I was
on the point of speaking to MI. H., an
Intimate business acquaintance, but the
gas-light at that moment showed it was
a stranger whom | had met instead of
my friend. The other incident came to
my mind, and thought, Would it not
be curious circumstance if I should
meet Mr.. II. during my walk?' and, to
my astonishment, l did meet and talk
with him on that very sidewalk before I
got to Park street corner"

A Terrible Case of Lunacy.

A remarkable case of lunacy has Just
been made known in Green Village, N.
j., by the death of Charles Crowell at the
age of seventy, who had been raving
maniac for over forty6ve years. He was
kept chained to the floor of his home, and
would never allow clothing to be put on
him. He was confined in a small apart
ment made for his use. No furniture
was in the room, the only thing in it be-
ing straw. His mother took care of him
for the first fifteen years, and during that
time he tore to pieces over 100 bcdquilts
which she had made for him. At times he
would be perfectly harmless, and would
allow his mother and sister to stay in his
room and feed him. But for months he
would pace his small room and no one
dared venture near him. In his room
was very small window through which
food and water were given him. Some
times lie would not eat for a week; at
other times enough food could not bc
given him to satisfy his voracity His
mother died from the great burden, and
his sister took charge of him. She, too,
died after some years from the constant
care and anxiety with which she watched
him. The most remarkable fact in con-
nection with the case was that just before
he died his mind was clear and he called
an attendant by name.-N. ?. n i1u,ee.

A Man Squaw On the War.Path.

In the Rec tribe there is a mysterious
looking individual clothed in a woman's
frock, but wearing a warriors scalp,
braid and accoutrcments. He-or She
is the drudge of the camp-does all the
cooking, brings all the wood and water,
and looks after as many ponies as his
or hcr-other duties will allow. The
braves look upon him-or herewith an
air of superiority that cannot be mis-
taken, and in none OF the war dances or
other manly pastimes is he-or she-al-
lowed to take a part; but the poor, be-
drudged indefinite drags out miserable
existence, neglected and forlorn, not
even being allowed to ride with the COL
umn on the march, but being perpetual
straggler, generally having to lead three
or four extra ponies belonging to the
braves. I asked Bloody Knife about
him-or her.
"The form of man but the heart of
a woman" he replied through an inter
prefer, and then went on to explain that
the indefinite was a man, but had not
the courage to- endure the tortures a
young man must subject himself to be-
fore he can become one of the braves.
So he had to live with the women and do
woman's work. Suffrage was not ex-
tended to such as he.
"Why does he come with you?"
asked of Bloody Knife.
"He wants to get rid of that frock,' y
said the interpreter, without putting the
question to the chief. "If he takes a
scalp it comes off him."-Cor. Inter-
ocean,

A Modern War.Dance.

EVERY night, before retiring, our In
dians have a war-dance. My tent is neal
their quarters and know it. To witness
their singular ceremony once is quite in
teresting, but when one is kept awake
half the night as a regular thing, and is
expected to breakfast at three o'clock
every morning, it loses it's romance The
most imposing occasion of the kind was
the night after the Santces Joined the
expedition and the alliance of the tribes
was celebrated. We were in camp at
Fort Lincoln then, and long, low, log
cabin was used as Indian quarters. In
the center of the room, on the ground
was built fire the smoke of which, min
gled with the odor that may naturally he
expected to arise from seventy or eighty
unwashed, naked and perspiring savages
made the place almost intolerable for Or
dinary beings; and even the poor, hungry
dogs that always haunt an Indian lodge
lett the room disguised, but the braves
pulled their killikinnick and breathcd in
the atmosphere with a relish. At the
start two groups were formcd-one OF
Rees and the other of Santees-eithe1
side of the fire. For a time they sa!
quietly smoking, till all the warriors were
gathered, when some one brought in q
drum and handed it to the Santees. They
placed it in the center of their circle, and
all who could reach began to pound its
head with sticks, their pipes, fingers and
anything available, humming dreary
monotone in the minor key.
All Indian music is in the minor key
1t was soft in tone and grew into sort
of moaning-like the wind in the branch
es of leaf1ess forest, and lasted five
minutes or so, ending with few subdued
shrieks. The pipes were relit and
passed from one group to the other, each
warrior taking a Whit or two and sending
it along to the next. Then the Rees took
the drum and went through the same
ceremony, but with a different theme tc
their chant. 1t was then repeated by the
Santees little louder and faster, and
the shrieks at its close more decided and
numerous. Then the Recs went at il
again; and the Santees for the third
time, interspersing lively little whoop!
between the measures of the song, and
pounding with decided emphasis on the
drum. Then it was passed over to the
Rees again, and two or three of the San
tees rose to their feet, doing a sort of {
walk around, for which their brethren il
the other group furnished the music
Then the others began to rise, one b,
one, and joined the dance, hopping uT
and down, first with one leg ant
then with the other as if the.
were tramping down something, eacl
uttering whoop at short intervals unit
the groups were broken up, and the ALI
ance was supposed to be formed. I'M
pow-wow grew livelier, the drumming
and moaning and whooping grew louder
and the atmosphere more vile as tn
dance went on, but white man get
enough of it in very short time, and
could not remain after they got we
a-going. 1t was my first war-dance an
in it I saw something of which ha
often read, but not the realization of m
anticipations. 1t was certainly curious
a fantastic, a savage scene-naked me

A Wonderful Oil Well.

THE Titusvile Pa.) Herald thus de-
scribes a wonderful oil we'll that has
JUST been opened:
"The road leading to the Parker well
from Petrolia is in moderately good con-
dition, and soon after leaving Central
Point the traveller observes the words
No smoking permitted here in conspicu-
GUS places. After about two and half
miles ride the top of hill is reached,
where loud, roaring noise is distinctly
heard, and eighty rods further on brings
us in sight of the we'll. A dense fog or
mist envelopes the DERRICK engine house
and tanks while fully one thousand per-
sons are there gazing on the wonder of
Armstrong County. The derrick has
conspicuously placed upon it in large let
ters, Boss Well and 'Creswell City,
There are two 250-barrel tanks, full of
oil; also two ], 300 barrel tanks, one of
which is full. Three dams, one below
the other, catch the dripping; and the
rivulet beyond, we are told, for ten miles
OF a circuitous route to the Allegheny
River, is covered with oil. There are
two tWO-inch pipes connected with the
we'll, one of which is shut completely of,
and out of the other flows steady
stream of oil with immense force. There
IS no perceptible intermission in the
flow, and as it gushes into one of the
1,200-barrel tanks the foam and spray
envelop the whole surrounding atmos-
phere in dense mist.
"A trustworthy gauger informed US that
he had gauged the we'll three times since
the stream was turned into the 1900 bar
rel tank, and he found it doing 1850 bar
rels, and he estimated the leakage to be
at least fifty barrels per day. He further
stated that, in his opinion, the we'll
started off out of the two two-inch pipe
at the rate Of 1850 barrels per day. He
also claimed that, althoug gh this was
almost incredible, he believed that if the
full stream was turned on now it would
do at least 2, 900 barrels
"The we'll is claimed to be the largest
ever struck in the lower region. A
farmer walked up to us and offered to
sell his adjoining farm of 100 acres for
500, 900, which ten days ago, for farming
purposes, would not have brought 81 ,000

most easterly we'll on the McGarvey

Burning a Hen Out.

RECENTLY terrible affair occurred in
Lower Wakefield Township, Bucks Co.,
Pa, by which two children of Mr..
John Bennett, who is in the employ of
Mr.. Haines, were burned to death in a
barn. It appears that certain hen had
made its nest on the thrcshing floor of
the barn, and was there sitting in oppo-
sition to the desires of it's owners Sew
eral attempts had been made to force the
hen to leave the nest, bnt without avail; {;
and on Saturday, in discussing the mat
ter at dinner one of the members of the
family jestingly remarked that the only
way to cure the hen would be to burn it
out. Two of Mr.. Benefits children, one
three and the other five years old, were
at the dinner-table when this remark
was made. 1t is supposed they took the
suggestion for truth, and acted upon it,
for as soon as they had finished their
dinner, unknown to the family, they
procured matches, went to the barn, and
set fire to the nest upon which the hen
was sitting The fire spread so rapidly
that the children became frightened and
began to scream. Mrs. Bennett, the
mother of the children, hearing their
cries, fastened to the barn to ascertain
the cause. When she reached it she
found the children standing in the mid
Ole OF the threshing floor, with sheet of
flame separating them from her. Rush.
ing to another part of the building in the
hope of gaining access to them, the
agonized mother found them completely
surrounded with raging flames, and was
| utterly powerless to render them any
assistance. While the error-stricken
mother was looking at her children, one
of them climbed upon a threshing- ma
chine and piteously called for help, an6
| flames. No assistance whatever could bt
given, and the entire barn, with it's hu
man contents, was destroyed.-Forney'

THE strike among the glass-blowers in
Pittsburgh and vicinity, which has con-
tinued for about year, is now at an end,
and the various factories are resuming
business The strike was caused by a
