WHAT BErELL A BIC INDIAN WHO
HAp'xr A WOODEN LEG.

A band of Grow Indians, enroute to
Washington, stopped at Chicago, and
of course, visited the Exposition
What befell one of them is thus rela'
ted by the Times:
When the Indians reached the gal
lery they sang several hymns, and
danced war break-downs till the arches
trembled. Then they descended and
went to the porth end to look at the
machinery. There were several buzz
sa ws-large, circular ones-revolv-
ing at the rate Of ever so many thou
sand times in a minute or more. The
Indians were deeply interested spec
tators, and a Milwaukee man with a
wooden leg noticed them. He had Of
ten read in his Sunday-school books
that the North American Indian is a
great imitator, and he determined to
test the truth of the assertion. So
What did this Milwaukee man do
but stick his left timber before the
saw, and in twinkling the lower
part, boot and all, was lying. on the
floor. To say that Thin Billy was as
tonishcd would be but a mild way of
expressing his feelings. He looked at
the boot, and he looked at the man.
Then he tragically remarked in his
own native language, at shall never
be said that pale face was more he
roic than an Indian Chief" He folded
his blanket more closely about his
body. gave look of scorn at the sur.
rounding whites, and then stuck one
of his legs in front OF the swift re
volving cutter. But no sooner had he
done 80 than he was more astonished
than ever. lie gave a yell, and,
frightened nearly to death, the atten-
dant quickly shut off the steam. and
the saw ceased its revolutions. Per.
haps it was not demolished by the
other Indians. There wasn't piece
left big enough for fine comb; and
the attendant aforesaid narrowly es-
capped with his life. In the meantime
the Milwaukee man had disappeared,
and has not been seen since. Asl
Black Foot and his friends were leav.
ing the hall, he was heard tn saw:
Osaw mileg oph,' which interpreted,
means that o resident of Milwaukee
had better not go West.

mat, corresponding to the 1halatth OF
Berosus: but as it proceeds the Assyr-
ian account agrees rather with the 81
bic than with the short account from
Berosus. We are told, in the inscr'p-
tons, Of the fall Of the celestial being
who appears to correspond to Satan.
lin his ambition he raises his hand
|
against the sanctuary Of the God Of
heaven, and the description Of him is
really magnificent. He is represented
riding in q chariot through celestial
space, surrounded by the storms, with
the lightning playing before him and
welding thunderbolt as weapon.
This rebellion leads TO war in
heaven and the conquest of the pow
ers Of evil, the gods in due course ere.
ating the universe in stages, as in the
Mosaic narrative, surveying each step
of the work and pronouncing it good.
The divine work eliminates in the Gre
alton of man, who is made upright
and free from evil, and endowed by the
gods with the noble faculty of speech.
The Deity then delivers long ad-
dress to the newly created being, in
him in all his duties and
privileges, and pointing out the glory
of his state. But this condition of
blessing does not last long before man,
yielding to temptation, falls; and the
Deity then pronounces upon him a ter
rible curse, invoking on his head all Of
the evils which have since afflicted
humanity. These last details are. as
have before stated, upon the frag-
ments which l excavated during my
first journey to Assyria, and the dis
covery Of this single relic. in my opin-
ion, increases many times over the Dali
ly Telegraph collection.
l have at present recovered no more
Of the story, aud am not yet in po-
sition to give the full transla ton
and details, but l hope during the
spring to find time to search
over the collection Of smaller frag-
ments of tablets, and to light upon
any smaller parts of the legends which
may have escaped me. There will
arise, besides, a number of important
questions as to the date and origin OF
the legends, their comparison with
the Biblical narrative, and as to how
lar they may supplement the Mosaic
account.
It will probably be some few months
before my researches are sufficiently
advanced to publish them in full:
meanwhile the interest which | know

must be my excuse for this short and
imperfect notice in your columns.

led the two or three first lines-which,
las / had then no idea of the subject
>.of the tablet-did not appear very
valuable, and forthwith packed it in
the box for transportation to England,
where it arrived safely, and was pre-
scented by the proprietors of the Daily
Telegraph, with the rest of their col
lection, to the British Museum. On
my return to England | made some
other discoveries among my store, and
in the pursuit Of these this fragment
was overlooked. subsequently went a
second time to Assyria, and returned
to England in June, 1874, but had
no leisure to look again at these par
ticular legends until the end of Janu-
airy Of this year. Then, starting with
the fragment Of the Creation in the
Daily Telegraph collection, which l
had first noticed, / begun to collect
other portions of the series, and among
these / soon found the overlooked frag-
1neEts which l had excavat ed at Kou-
yiunjik, the first lines of which took
down in my note book of my first ex-
pedition. / subsequently found sever
al pieces in the museum collection, and
all join or form parts of continuous
series Of legends, giving the history
of the world from the creation down
to some time after the fall of man.
Linked with this, l found also other
series Of legends of primitive history,
including the story of the building of
the tower of Babel and of the confu
sion of tongues.
The first series, which l may call
The Story of the Creation and Fall," n
when complete must have consisted of
nine or ten tables at least, and the his
tory upon it is much longer and fuller
than the corresponding account in the
Book Of Genesis. With respect to
these Genesis narratives a furious
strife has existed for many years; ev-
cry word has been scanned by eager
scholars, and every possible meaning
which the various passages could bear
has been suggested; while the age
and authority of the narratives have
been discussed on all sides. In par
ticular, tmay be said that the account
Ut the fall Of man, the her.
itage Of all Christian countries, has
been the centre of all this controversy.
for it is one Of the pivots on which
the Christian religion turns. The
worldwide Importance of these sub
lects will therefore give the newly-dis.

JAMES LICK has revised his requests,
and made a. new deed. The donation
of $25O,0 900 for the State Capitol has
been revoked, and in its stead 100000
is given for the City Hall of San Fran
cisco. The 500, 900 for the Tahoe OBJ
servatory has been committed to the
care of the University of California for
a similar purpose. The donation for
the Key monument has been reduced
from $3.50. 900 to 100000. and the do
nation for Mechanics Arts School has
been raised from $500, 900 to $40, 600,
which, with the block of land donated
by the city of San Francisco for the
school, makes the endowment for that
institution about 100000. Mr.. Lick S
former donations to various charitable
institutions remain unchanged in the
new deed.

HOW 1T WAS DONE.

A committee of the Alabama Legis-
lature is endeavoring to ascertain how
George e. Spencer became United
States Senator from that State. Spen-
Ger was elected two years ago, and J.
S. Perrin, Republican member of the
Legislature, by which he was elected,
throws some light on the manner in
which it was done. He testifies before
the Committee that: "Troops were
retained in Alabama before the
election on requisition of myself and
others, it having been understood that
Spencer had arranged for troops to be
put at the disposal of Mayer and other
revenue officers wherever intimidation
was necessary. These troopss
panied by United States marshals, who
had fictitious warrants, with citizens
names prominently displayed and
shown to persons who would inform
them, were paraded in various counties.
/ shot hole in my hat and reported
that / had been attacked by Kuklux,
and I sent troops to arrest the mythical
assailants. kept the troops as long
as I could use them as political ma
chine. Our purpose was to secure the
Legislature at all hazards, and elect
Spencer. This gives an insight of
the manner in which United States
marshals and Federal soldiers assisted
in carrying elections in the South. 1t
shows the necessity of the Force bill,
and that Grant knew the great advan-
tages that would be derived from that
measure. 1t sheds a ray of light
on the outrage business, and what
narrow escapes loyal citizens have
had from the Kuklux. A Republican
shoots a hole in his hat, and reports
that he has been attacked by those
lawless rebels, whose uncouth garb en-
blazoned with collins and ss-bones,
made night hideous and struck terror
to loyal hearts; who were determined
at all hazards to secure the Legislature
and to elect the notorious carpet-bag-
ger Spencer to the United States Sem
ate. This story seems improbable to
Democrats. They cannot realize how
marshals and soldiers can be used to
further partisan interests in the South
ern States; but coming under oath from
Perrin, Republican member of the
Legislature from Wilcox county, Ala
bama, members of his party cannot
doubt or dispute it.

IT is by no means certain that the
Legislature of New Hampshire will
elect Republican Governor, or that
the complexion of a majority of both
Houses of the Legislature will be of
that political hue. The seats of nine
Republican members are contested, and
the Clerk of the last House, who is to
preside over the organization of the
new body, it is thought, will give the
preference to the Democratic appli-
cants. If New Hampshire was only a
Southern State, the President could
very easily turn the beam in favor of
the Republicans by military order,
but it is not likely that either party in
New England would submit to the Or
ganization of the Legislature by bayo-
net force.

A STRANGE STORY.
A Woman Mysteriously Disappears
Supposed to have been Abduct-
ed by a Former Husband.

From the Salinas (Call Index.l
Mrs. Goldstein left San Francisco on
the 22d of last month when her hus-
band purchased her ticket and saw
her safely aboard the cars. He then
returned to his business, expecting soon
to receive tidings of the safe arrival OF
his wife at her destination. Several
days passed, and hearing no word from
her, he made inquiries of her friends
whom she intended visiting, and learn
ed to his dismay that she had not been
seen by them. The husband lmmedi-
ately put detectives on her track to dis
cover if possible what had become OF
his wife, but up to last accounts moth
ing has reached the bereft man and his
family of her whereabouts. The ladys
household has been very happy one,
and her husband els comparatively
wealthy, and the only conclusion yet
reached is that she has been stolen by
her former husband, she having been
married twice. 1t seems that the first
marriage was an unhappy one, and the
lady obtained divorce. After the lady s
second marriage, her first husband
swore that he would have revenge, and
it now seems that he has fulfilled his
vow. What his intentions are can only
be surmised, but the worst is feared by
her friends, who seem to think that
she has been foully dealt with already.
The supposed guilty man resides some
where in the southern portion of this
State. The affair has been kept quiet
for prudential reasons, but is now get
ting quite generally known.
