ventor of life saving apparatus to be used
in event Of shipwreck, has put his invention
to practical test, and it is likely to prove
successful. The apparatus, which is fitted to
the person in the manner Of life preserver,
admits of the wearer carrying supply of
food, water and raiment if desired, and the
inventor claims that the person using it can
remain on the water indefinitely. Boynton
showed his willingness to test the apparatus
by Offering to cast himself from vessel when
400 miles from land but to this the captain
would not consent, though when within few
miles of the Irish shore he permitted Boyn-
ton to leave the ship, and he succeeded in
safely landing. Since then he has tested his

2.3O A. NJ. last Saturday, reached Fokestone

Boulogne on the French shore at 2.15 P. NJ.

INDIAN LOGIC.

A number of Indian chiefs from the
Blacks Hills, have been summoned to Wash
ington for the purpose of forming a treaty
with the United States Government, by which
the government may have control of the Black
Hills country and open it up to settlement by
the thousands who are waiting to try their
fortunes in that promising region. The Great
Father Grant, surrounded by his own chiefs,
Deano, Richardson and Smith, gave Spotted
Tail and a number Of other Indian chiefs an
audience the other day, and from the tone of
the Indians it is very plain that they are not
going to surrender their reservation without
struggle. They seem to have a vague idea
of the money value of their possessions, and
besides, they are very correctly impressed
with the belief that the land is their own prop.
erty. After Chief Deano, on the part of the
United States, had developed his plans, and
proposed to move the Indians to reservation
further south, Chief Spotted Tail on the part
of the Indian delegation, made the following
reply:
"MY FATHER: have considered all the
Great Father told me, and have come here to
give you an answer. When people have fully
considered subject their conclusion ought to
be good one. 1 made the treaty with Gen.
erals Sherman and Harvey in 1868, and have
not broken it. | came here to shake hands
and make new treaty. came here to ask
for great DEAL | want good clothes, such
as you (pointing to Secretary Delano and
Commissioner Smith) both wear. When l
was here before the President gave me my
country, and put my stake down in good
place, and there I want to stay. know my
country is a good country, because 1 put
things in the ground and they grow up. 1
have asked for saw-mill, plow, and other
things to farm with. My Father, one thing
dispeases me. Your surveyors have come
and put down stakes, and don't like it, and
want them removed. 1 respect the treaty,
but the white men who came in our country
do not. You speak of another country, but
it is not my country it does not concern me,
and l want nothing to do with it. | was not
born there, but if it is such good country
YOU ought to send the white men now in our
country there and let US alone. You say you
will give US $25,000 if we will give up the
privilege of hunting buffalo outside our reser-
vatiou. If you will add $4,000 to this We
will give you the buffalo. [Laughter.] We
came here in great hurry and had but little
time to consult our people, and we want you
to send some men to US to talk the matter
over. The weather is warm and Congress is
not in session, and after we consider the SUBJ
iect more we would like to come to Washing
ton with fifty chiefs to settle the matter with
Congress. | want to have one more council
here and then 60 home"
At subsequent interview, the Indians ex-
pressed their determination to fight to the bit
ter end before they would agree to vacate. the
Black Hills reservation and take up their
abode in the Indian Territory, where the au-

PICNIC At KINGS MOUNTAIN.

KINGS MOUNTAIN, S. c.,
May 29th, 1875.
Mr. EDITOR Some weeks ago, it was an
nounced that on to-day a picnic would be
given by the Friends of Temperance of Kings
Mountain, to which the Masons, the Graagers
and Sunday school scholars would be invited.
Agreeably to the arrangements previously
made, the company met at Masonic Hall,
from which place they proceeded to beaut-
full and inviting grove in the vicinity of the
town.
Numbers of persons from town and coun-
try having assembled at the designated place,
at II o'clock Dr. B. F. Dixon introduced DR..
J. w. Tracy to the audience. Dr. Tracy de-
livered an admirable and impressive lecture
or temperance. DR.. Tracy was followed by
Mr.. Darlington, Vice-President Of the Grand
Council who also spoke with much earnest
eloquence in behalf of the principles of the
noble cause of temperance.
After Mr.. Darlington had concluded, Mr..
w. C. Durham, Editor of the Shelby Banner,
was nextintroduced. Mr.. Durham's remarks
were directed mainly to the interest of the
Grange organization, and his address abound
ed in sound advice and practical suggestions
to the agricultural community.
At the close of Mr.. Durham's remarks, it
was announced that the assembled company
would partake of collation., which had been
prepared in abundance and spread in the most
inviting manner, and to which full justice
was done by all. 1t was estimated that fully
one thousand partook of the repast, and to
the ladies of the vicinity all praise is due for
the elegance and lberality with which the
tempting vands we're served.
After the dinner was over, DR.. Dixon was
urgently called upon to address the company,
with which request he reluctantly complied.
His remarks we're able, forcible and interest
ing and as he is member of all the Orders
represented on the occasion, he had no diff
Guilty in enchanting the entire audience, all OF
whom were benefited by the words of wisdom
intended for the improvement of all classes OF
his hearers
At the conclusion of DR.. Dixon's address,
the assembage dispersed, every one feeling
wiser and happier at the success OF the enter
tainment. ALIQUIs.

LARGE SALE or COTTON.

We were much pleased to meet in our town
one day last week and form the acquaintance
of Capt. James NJ. Ivy, of Rock Hill. His
visit was made with the view of negotiating
for the purchase of a lot of cotton owned by
few persons here, which had been offered to
him through the banking house of Messrs.
Jefsrys g. Metts. The negotiations were sat-
isfactorily concluded, and resulted in the
purchase by him of four hundred and thirty
seven bales of cotton, the greater part of which
is of fine grade, at prices ranging from IL to
144 cents per pound, and amounting in the
aggregate to about $4,000. Considering the
dulness of the season, the warm weather, and
other things unnecessary to mention, we are
disposed to conclude that, occasionally, there
is still some business done at Yorkville.

RAPID COMMUNICATION.

An incident occurred in our town last week
in connection with telegraphic dispatch,
which is worthy of mention. Rev. A. j..
Witherspoon, who was on visit to relatives
and friends in this section, learned through a
letter which reached him after his arrival,
that one of his children was quite i'll at the
time the letter was written. Naturally, he
became very solicitous as to the result of the
illness, and had determined to cut short his
visit and start for his home in New Orleans
without delay. The use of the telegraph was
suggested to him, which suggestion he adopted
Immediately, and a despatch was forwarded
making the necessary inquiries. AS result,
in about one hour, he received reply which
assured him that his child had recovered from
the illness and was out of danger. Our tele-
graph line is regarded by our town people as
very convenient institution, and the opera
tor, Mr.. Horace H. Beard, as very attentive,
efficient and accommodating.
