Old Time Giants.

An English correspondent says: In
Pepys' Diary for June 8, 1868, where his
visit to Oxford is recorded, he tells how
he went to Brasenose College, and says
" i'm the cellar find the hand of the Child
of Hales, long butler, two shillings."
A late editor adds, "Does this mean,
slipped two shillings into the childs
handT" The suggestion is unlucky;
surely Pepys did not mean living child,
but a Childe entitled to a capital letter,
after the manner of "Childe Harold"
and "Childe Waters" AT Hale, in Ian
cashire there is q tradition of "Child of
Hale" giant whose figure may be seen
on local sign board, who is said to
have lived about generation before
Pepys, and who is further said to have
been at first small of stature but to have
been heightened in answer to prayer, as
Alice in Wonderland was without prayer.
And in Hale churchyard is the tomb of
John Middleton the Child" who died
early in theseventeeIth century, on which
is further craven without any grammati-
cal relation to the rest of the epitaph, the
words, "Nine Feet Three" This has
been naturally taken to mean the height
Va SidhJ, puo thC 10
not longer than the seven feet ordinarily
allotted to men. Skeptics have
therefore su. gested that the inscription
must have meant something else, and that
the story of the giant may have grown
out of the inscription. Yet there is a
" Child of Hale" who was clearly well
known little later than the assigned
date, and who had "long" hand, as a
giant of nine feet three might reasonably
be exp; cted to have. Only how did the
hand of giant or any other person
buried in churchyard in Lancashire
get into the cellar of Brasenose College?
The subject is mysterious; perhaps some
of the correspondents Of Notes and
Queries may know something about it.
Anyhow, Mr.. Pepys certainly never
dropped two shillings into the living
hand, long or short, of John Middleton
the Child" who died about the time of
Mr.. Pepys' birth.

rail fence. When the British gained
possession of the American works and
had driven the brave defenders half way

himself with handful of men he had
left, he must run. "Run," said the old
veteran, run, I'll not run unless / run

Seth Pomeroy was shot in the back
And he actually walked backward from
the front, defending himself side by side

Samuel Gardner Drake.

Samuel Gardner Drake, the vener-
able historian and antiq quarian, died in
Boston in his seventy-seventh year. Mr..
Drake was born at Pittsfeld, N. H., Oct.
II, 1898, and received only common
school education. In early life he was a
teacher, but he afterward removed to
Boston, and in 1928 he opened an anti
quarian book store, the first of its class
in this country. He had previously be-
gun his literary career by the publication
of Church's Entertaining History of
King Philips War;" and in 1888 he re-
printed five old tracts on the same sub
ject. In 1882 he published his "Indian
Biography" and in 1888 his Book of
the Indian" first appeared. The latter
work has also been considered high
authority for facts regarding the abo-
rigines of America, and it has passed
through many editions. His remaining
works on Indian history are "Old
Indian Chronicles" 1886, with a new
series in 1852; "Indian Captivities,"
1869, and a " History of the Five Years
French and Indian War;" 1870. Mr..
Drake also made some other important
contributions to American history,
among them "Memoir of Sir Walter
Raleigh" 1862, and "Annals of Witch
craft in the United States" 1869. He
was the President of the New England
Historical and Genealogical Society in
1858, and he was one of its founders and
the editor of its Register for many years.
In 1858 he visited Europe, and resided
in London for two years. His son,
Francis s. Drake, has published "Dic-
tionary of American Biography"

Piute Poker Players.

An Indian poker game has been going
on for the last three days in an open lot
on North b street. Among the players
is "Poker john" the famous Indian
gambler, who recently cleaned almost
the whole Piute nation out Of their
money and clothes. The game is some
what similar to the ordinary game of
poker. They spread a large blanket out
on the ground, and surround it on their
knees. Women as well as men take part
in the game. The cards are dealt out,
each person holding the position of
banker in succession, while the others
play against him. When the Indians are
flush as much as fifty dollars change
hands at single deal. At other times
different articles of property are repre-
sented by small pine sticks. The game,
now in progress, is evidently of great in
terest, as the players pay no attention
whatever to spectators, so deeply are
they INTERESTED in the turn of the cards.
Some of them have all the gravity and
nonchalance Of veteran gamblers, while
others are unable to control their excite
ment. Some of these professional sports
when they get broke are staked by white
men, whom they never fail to repay when
they make raise Virginia (Nev.) Ere,-

A Strange Story.

A curious incident is reported in the
American papers. About ten years ago
q Jew in straitened circumstances left
Transatlantic for America, to improve
his position in the New World. He left
wife and several children behind, and
promised that as soon as it was within
his means he would send them some
money, from America. There fortune
smiled on him, and when he had amassed
sum of 10000 forins he resolved to re-
turn home and surprise his family with
his wealtlus He started without appris-
ing his family of his intended return, and
on his way home he arrived at Hamburg,
where he was seized with so dangerous
an illness that he made will bequeathing
all his property to his wife. He recov-
cred, however, only to find that during
his illness his money had been stolen
from him by man who nursed him.
A few benevolent persons, sympathizing
with his misfortunes, collected about 100
norins, wherewith the unfortunate Jew
resolved to return to America in order to
retrieve his fortunes. In the meantime
the nurse had decamped with his booty
to America, where, shortly after his ar
rival, he died suddenly. The American
authorities sent the coffin, with the sixty
thousand forins. toTransylvania, and, as
the will was also found in the coffin, the
authorities at the same time acquainted
the relatives with the death of the testa-
tor. After the usual period of mourning,
the wife contracted second marriage.
The first husband had, however, again
saved considerable sum Of money, and
eventually returned to his native country
to find his wife married to another man.
The event has caused great sensation
in the neighborhood, and it is stated that
a conference of rabbis is about to be held
to determine to which of the two hus-
bands the woman belongs.-Jeoish World

The Yellowstone Expedition.

The following dispatch was received at
Lieutenant-General Sheridan's head
quarters at Chicago:
BISMARCK, ID. T., June IL, 1875.
We left Fort Buford at p. IN. We'd
nesday, May 26, and reached the mouth
of Big Horn River by the use of steam
alone, without setting spar or warping,
at 8 a. m. Wednesday, June 2. Our
running time was eighty-eight hours and
forty minutes; distance Travelled from
Fort Buford, 400 miles; from the mouth
of Powder river, 165 miles. Pushing
on from Big Horn we had to work our
way up the Yellowstone by the use of
lines and spars, passing Pompey's Pillar
and Pryor's river, but finally were COM
PEELED to turn back when within about
twenty miles of Clark's Fork, having
reached point on the Yellowstone 250
miles above Powder river, and 4S5 miles
from Buford. In descending the Yellow
stone we had rise in the river as far as
Powder river, but from there to Big Horn
the water was falling, and the marks on
the banks showed that our stage of water
was at least two feet below the usual
spring rise. The minimum depth of
water by sounding on VOLTS Rapids was
eight feet, and on the main Buffalo
Rapids was seven feet. We steamed
over both of them without the least
trouble. We also ran up the Big Horn
river for distance of twelve miles, when
we found that the channel was SO OBJ
structed that it would not pay to try to
go any higher. This river is about $50
yards wide at its mouth, water muddy,
and the valley propernarrow and rough,
with plenty of cottonwood along the
stream. The water of the Yellowstone
above the Big Horn is clear.
i feel justified in saying that for three
months of each year the Yellowstone is
navigable from its mouth to the mouth
of the Big Horn, and if reports are true,
it is much better than the upper Missouri
for the same period. We saw and killed
during our trip, buffalo, elk, deer, noun
tain sheep and bear, and caught trout
above Pryor's river. There is any guam
tity of pine and cottonwood for building
purposes from Tongue river as far west
as we went or could see. Saw no Sioux
on the river, but run on to $50 lodges of
Crows above Pryor's river, who were on
their way down to the Big Horn country
to hunt.
We leave this morning for Chicago.
