But her brother shall behold her tears
NO more" E4ft
Nor did he. All through that day,
whose hours seemed protrscted int ages
and whose unceasing suspense fretted
the nerves Of even Rochester nearly
past endurance, she maintained her COM
posure.
A score OF times, during the interval,
the fugitives thought their hiding place
was on the point of being dis
covered; for scout ing parties were
continually abroad In search Of
their lost trail, and frequently
approached almost to the mouth Of the
cavern. But night, at last, delivered the
three from their anxiety; the shout of
the savage hunters ceased; and now the
eager fugitives were at liberty to go
abroad.
All that night the little party hurried
forward, War Eagle leading the van, the
White Fawn following, and Rochester
bringing up the rear Their safety de-
pended on the number of leagues placed
between them and their foes before
morning; tor their trail would be certain
to be discovered soon after daylight,
when q pursuit would be commenced.
The number of miles trsversed that
night by the fugitlves would be consid-
cred incredible by any one not familiar
with the frontier. Their speed, however
saved their lives; they never heard more
of their pursuers; but on the third day
reached the border fort from which they
set out, and where they were now
welcomed with JOY, having been
given up for lost.
The Indian maid did not long remain
the adopted daughter of War Eagle, but
after q few months, took on herself q
nearer and more holler tie, by becoming
Roches.er's bride. The wedding took
place at the close of the campaign, during
which interval the White Fawn remain
ed in the fort, where the commandments
lady had taken charge of her education,
so that, when our hero came back to
claim her, she was able to add the charm
of civilized, accomplishments to the Da-
tive grsces OF the forest. When attired
in proper costume, she was scarcely rec
ognizable as child of the wilderness, SO
delicate was her complexion. Indeed a
lovlier bride was never given away,
before or since, in all that beautiful re-
gion.
In later years. when the settlements
had advanced westward, Rochester pur.
chased a tract OF land on the shores OF
the Haunted Stream, and erected
stately mansion close to the spot where
he had frst seen the Indian maid. And
there, to this day, his and her decend-
ants live, prouder Of their heroic ances
tress, and deservedly so, than many an
English duke of his Norman sires.

THE COST OF HAYES ELECTION
Consequences of Electing a
Republican Congress.
Fearful Burden to be Imposed
on Every Voter. ma

These claims were worked
up and owned by a REPUB-
LICAN Southern Claims
Ring, headed by General E.
V. Rice, the confident of
Belknap in the post-trader-
ship business. Circulars
were sent out by this RE-
PU BLICAN Southern
Claims Agency, calling for
the presentation of such
claims. 1t is estimated that
these claims aggregate over
$780, 900, 900.
Let every voter look at
the figures and answer whe-
Their they want to pay the
cost:
Total Southern claims,
2,5os,s22,3s6.
Amount to be paid by the
State of West Virginia,
s3I,OOO,Ooo.
Amount for every person
in the State, $62.
Amount for every voter,
SaIO.
About 200 bills contain
ing and providing for such
claims were presented at the
late session of Congress.
Several of them were gene
raj bills to pay for all prop
erty used or occupied by the
Union army, without refer
ence to the loyalty of the
claimants. These claims
were mostly introduced by
REPUBLICAN members.
They found no favor with the
Democrats, who vigorously
limited awards to LOYAL
citizens whose claims were
in the hands of the OR1Gl-
NAL owners. The total
amount was $74,453-or
,8O6,547 less than was al
lowed by the preceding RE-
PUBLICAN Congress.
The Constitutional amend
ment does not prohibit the
payment OF these clallhs-lC
only prohibits the payment
of the Rebel debt. With
REPUBLICAN success,
there is nothing in the way.

VIRGINIA! DO YOU

TION OF HAYES AND

The Transactions Of the Indiana State
Medical Society, 1875. contain a report
on trichinosis, by DR.. George Sutton, of
AurOra, Ind, which contains the following
alarming observations
From microscopic examination of pork
killed in Southeastern Indiana, we have
found from three to sixteen per cent Of
the hogs affected with trichina, the num-
Der of hogs diseased varying greatly in
different localities.
"That over five millions Of hogs are
slaughtered and packed in the Western
States, not including those which are put
up for family use by the farmers; that if
four per cent of this pork is diseased, which
we believe to be low estimate, we have
two hundred and twenty one thousand four
hundred and eighty-four diseased hogs put
annually upon the market; or, at au aver
age of two hundred pounds to the hog,
forty-four millions two hundred and nine
ty-six thousand eight hundred pounds of
diseased meat, every ounce of which, under
favorable circumstances, is capable Of pro-
ducing disease.
"That from the cases Of trichinosis that
came under our observation, and the post
nortem examinations, and the effects upon
the dog that was fed on the diseased meat,
we have come to the conclusion that ninety
per cent Of disease produced from eating
trichinous pork appears either as CASTRO
entiritis, or as diarrhea or dysentery,
and not more than ten per cent as the
fully developed form of trichinosis, in
which the muscular system becomes af.
fected.
"That as diarrhea, dysentery, and en-
teritis rank high as causes of mortality in
the United States, these diseases causing
thirty-one thousand one hundred and City
three deaths in 1870, as shown by the last
census reports and as we have seen that
large amount of trichinous pork, capable
of producing these diseases, is among the
principal articles of food in our country /:
we think it more than probable that tri-
chin@ have much greater influence in
the etiology of this class of diseases than
has been recognized by the profession.
"That it is highly probable that, when
the fact becomes more generally known
that 50 large percentage Of pork is
swarming with trichine, capable Of pro-
ducing disease, it may have an effect upon
the use Of this meat, and consequently
affect the sale, to some extent, of one Of
the principal articles Of commerce in the
West"

Habits Of the wild Duck.

1t is said that the three finest ducks for
table use are the canvas-back, red head
and the butter-ball, probably because they
feed on wild celery, while others generally
feed on flesh. The canvas-back is an in
nocent looking fowl, industrious, and

Irish Poplins.

We owe this beautiful fabric to what
was at one time considered a great misfor-
tune. Nearly two centuries ago, band
Of exiled Huguenots from France landed
on the coast Of ireland. Few in numbers,
yet industrious, this little band Of intelli-
gent men established the silk trade which
has since been modified into the manufac.
ture Of poplin. They located at Dublin,
in the Ooombs, where the wooden trade Of
Ireland formerly fourished. Here the silk
weavers were impeded by every possible
restriction, and bya variety of legal enact.
meuts; but the present prosperity Of the
trade is owing to what was at that time
considered their greatest misfortune---the
inadequate supply ofsilk. Necessity com.
PEELED the unhappy silk weavers to employ
another material to exc out the scauty
