The Remains Of Tecumseh,

Professor Daniel Wilson has reported
TO the Ontario government that the bones
found at Moraviantown were not those
Of Tecumseh. He gives several reasons
for the decision he has come to, the
principal being that the great Shawnee
chiefs skeleton" as submitted for
examination contains the bones of two
men, q woman. q child of about seven. q
deer and dogi An Indian writes to the
iooaipress long letter in which he says:
"When Tecumseh fell three of his Shaw
nee warriors were by his side, and he
told them that he was done, then ex-
pred, and they carried him away i'm
mediately further back in the woods
from where they were fighting, and hid
his body until next day. When the
enemy had passed on those three Shaw
nees went back and buried him quite a
distance from the battle-ground, whcro
there was no other Indian present, One
OF those Shewnees died lately, and I of
ten heard him talk about Tecumseh. but
he would never tell where he was buried
and often refused money. Those Shaw.
nees made VOW that they never would
tell, and they kept their promise like
men. The reason of this secret was be-
cause the Americans tried hard after
ward to find the body, and even offered
money for it, 80 as to take it with them
as q trophy Of their victory, but failed,
and I am glad Of IL, and I am sure IL
never shall be found"

Brides ut the Exhibition.

OF all the people who live at the Cen
tennial hotels, says letter writer,
think the newly married COUPLES
Philadelphia is full Of them, by the way
are the only ones who are thoroughly
contented and happy. It makes no diff
ference to them whether the potatoes
are watery, the meats dry, or the soup
thin; and they don't care q pin whether
people talk to them or not. They live
in little world of their own, and for a
time-what a pity that it's so short q
tlrne-they need no conversation but
their own, have no thought but for each
other. We have all sorts of newly mar
rlcd couples here now, but notwith-
standing the many various stations in
life which they occupy, and the differ
ent parts of the country from which
they come, they nll act wonderfully
alike. They ell have certain marks
about them which can be Immediately
deteoted by even IN Impractical eye.
In the first place, it is noticeable that
they all try to act as if being married
was an old story to them, and still for
the life of them they can't help taking
each others hands every five inmates.
Among other things it is remarkable
that the young men, on the old pl Incl
pie that GO fellow can't wed every day, "
are very extravagant with their money,
They are so evidently against the wishes
of the prudent little helpmates. An
other thing which have noticed is that
the brides nearly all wear new watch
chains, the young husbands, especially
those from the West, are very particular
about their gloves, and even upon the
warmest and most oppressive day they
carry heavy shawl, in case such COW
ering should be needed by the dear
woman they have sworn to protect.
The patronizing cir of ownership which
the young men assume is truly remark
able, while their attempts to answer
the many questions asked by their
wives are sometimes very amusing. One
incident will illustrate this: A few days
ago in the Main building bright look
ing young Western farmerland an inno-
cent faced little woman who had evil
IDENTIFY just.become his wife, approached
the music stand. At the same moment
the band begun to play the opening pas
sage of "The Waking of the Lion"
The little bride listened to the music
for moment, and then looking conf
dently up into the face of her lord and
master, she pressed hisarm and whisper
ed: "What piece are they playing,
Charleys" For q moment Charley was
puzzled, but lie had just become hus-
band, and evidently seeing the impor-
tance of maintaining the dignity ct The
position, he quietly drew that confiding
little woman away from the stand, say
ing: "Oh, it's not piece at all; they
are Just tuning up like" And of course
she believed him.

Ungathered Love.

"hen the autumn winds SO wailng
Through branches yellow and brown,
when the gray sad light is failing,
. And the day is going down
Ihesr the desolste evening sing
or love that bloomed in the early spring,
And which no heart had for gathering.
and my lover do dwell apar.
We twain may never be one
We shall never stand heart to heart,
Then what can be said or done,
When wiuds, and waters, and song birds sing
ora love that bloomed In the early spring,
And which no heart had for gathering
When day is over and night descends,
And dsnk mists circle aud rise,
fall asleep, and slumber befriends.
For dream Of April skies.
d. But wake to hear the silence sing
or q love that bloomed in the early spring,
And which no heart had for gathering.
When the dawn comes in with wind and rain,
And birds awake in the caves,
And rain drops smite the window pane,
Aud drenoh the eddying leaves
hear the voice of the daybreak sing
OF love that bloomed in the early spring,
And which no heart had for gathering.

The Telegraph's Usefulness.

A visitor to the Centennial relates q
funny incident of the usefulness of the
telegraph, which came under her per-
sonal notice. At the same boarding
house with the relator was lady from
Ohio, who, after her arrival, left the
house to view the great show. This
done, she started to return home, md
tho usual fsct forced itself upon her
she had forgotten to note either the
number or street Of her new home, and
what made matters worse memory could
not recall either. A happy thought
stl 1ck her; stepping into telegraph
office she informs her husband in Ohio
OF her dilemma, and In o few moments
received the much coveted intelligence.

A California Story.

Joaquin Miller tells o. curious Califor-
mia story, which recalls that of the cat
tie in Harte's "Gabriel Conroy." He
describes an immigrant train passing
over the prairie and meeting a herd OF
buffalo at full speed and moved by one
of the apparently insane impulses which
sometimes seize these animals. In an
instant the immense herd had passed
th' re- was no wagoO, there were no N en-,
oxen, horses left even their bodies were
obliterated. The one survivor was
woman, who was carried out of the hor-
rible struggle on the back of one of the
herd-how she never knew; her first con.
sciousness was that shs stood in safety
upon a little hillock and the whirlwind
had gone by.

Thoughts for Saturday Night.

The deeper the sorrow the less tongue
hath it.
AS if you could kill time without in
juring eternity.
1t is q miserable state of mind to have
few to desire and many things to fear.
He shall be immortal who iveth till
he be stoned by one without fault.
Modesty is to merit as shades to fig
ures in picture, giving it strength and
beauty.
AS words can never be recalled, speak
only such words as you never wish to re-
call.
Signs are small measurable things, but
interpretations are illimitable.
Learning without thought is labor
lost; thought without learning is peril
ous.
All gaming, since it implies desire to
profit at another's expense, involves q
breach Of the tenth commandment.
Distrust is the death of the soul, be-
lief is its life. The just shall live by
faith. Infidelity is the abandonment Of
life, a suicide of the spirit.
Energy will do anything that can be
done in this world; and no talents, no
cuCumSbductb, uO opportunities, WILL
make two-legged animal man without
it.
Limit your wants; the must is hard,
and yet solely by this must can we show
how it is with US in our inner man. To
live according to caprice requires no Pc
culiar powers.
Children must have love inside the
house and fresh air and good play, and
some good companionship outside
otherwise young life runs the greatest
danger in the world of whitening, or
growing stunted, or, at best, prematurely
old and turned inward on itself.
The habit of exaggeration, like dram
drinking, becomes o slavish necessity,
and they who practice it pass their lives
in kind of mental telescope, through
whose magnifying medium they look
upon themselves and everything around
them.
A childhood passed with due mixture
OF rational indulgence, under fond and
wise parents, diffuses over the whole of
life a feeling of calm pleasure and, in
extreme old age, is the very last remem-
brance which time can erase from the
mind of man.

engage to sail with him, his vessel then
lying at Montreal. He onsented, and
the next day they sailed for China; and
for eleven years he had followed the
sea and never once communicated with
his relatives. He now heard for the
first time what one Of them had suffered
on his account.
The matter of the blood, and his hat,
which, it will be remembered, was
found on the deck, he explained by
stating that he had had the nosebleed
during the day, and that some of the
blood had probably fallen on the deck
the hat he tossed upon the deck when
he decided to 60 out in the evening,
taking better one in its stead.
The identification Of the body found,
the quarrel, the blow, and the voice OF
Weatherwax heard during the alterca-
ton, are mysteries never explained.
Perjury can hardly be alleged, but there
was certainly criminal looseness in judg-
ment which imbittered the best years Of
an innocent mans life, and nearly sent
him to an untimely and dishonored
grave.
It is hardly necessaryto say that there
was complete revolution in feeling to-
ward MIR. Weatherwax. Every one
seemed anxious to compensate by kind
ness and patronage for the wrongs so
innocently inflicted before. This was
not unappreciated. Business prospered,
and three years ago both Andrew and
John G. Weatherwax were among the
most contented citizens of Clinton CONN.,
ty. New York.

A Touching Story.

A private letter from Augusta, Ga,
contains touching narrative of hero
ism in fever stricken Savannah, which
ought to have wide publication as an
impressive illustration of the noblest at
tributes OF human nature. The writer
is explaining that some business delay
is caused by the grievous family afflic-
tion OF an assistant, and goes on to say ::
The death of young brother, in
Savannah, has thrown his whole family
into the deepest grief-a young fellow,
not much more than boy, who martyr
ed himself for the good Of the people
suffering with the yellow fever, and him
sell fell victim. He was prescription
clerk in Lippman's drug store there,
and when the fever broke out the whole
force left but the bookkeeper and him.
A little later the bookkeeper left, and
Charley ran the whole thing himself,
till Lippman ordered him, by letter, to
close the store. Then, instead of COM
ing home, as his people kept begging
him to do, he replied no. He felt it
was his duty to stay, and he went to
work in Clay's drug store, putting up
prescriptions, hundreds per day, no
time to rest, no time for dinner. Clay
took the fever and Charley nursed him,
but he died. Charley still ran the store.
His cook took the fever; he nursed her,
and she recovered. Thena young friend,
Symons; he nursed him and got him up,
running the store all the time, day and
night. He wrote his mother &C. have
to get something to eat the best way
can. My cook is down. I have no
time for myself, putting up prescriptions
all day. When night comes I am so
tired ! can hardly put one foot before
the other. have not had my clothes
of in a week, and I have not brushed
my hair in four days." This although
ordinarily he was extremely neat and
careful of his person. It sounds like old
army times. At last, when Symons was
up, Charley took sick. He wrote that
he had taken the fever, but was feeling
pretty strong and was confident of soon
being up and at work again. Telegrams
then begun to pass ten or twenty times
q day. "Charley improving, with good
care he will come through all right"
aud everything looked hopeful, when all
at once Charley is worse" and he be-
gun to sink, Symons nursing him in his
turn and keeping up constant CORE
spondence with Augusta by telegraph.
Finally telegrams could be passed with
difficulty, the telegraph boys refusing to
carry the messages in Savannah. It was
the worst quarter in the whole city. The
last two teleg ANS received from Sy-
mons were II will stick to him to the
last. p" "I shall not sleep tonight"
And the brave young fellow kept his
word; they both died the same night.
Symops had never fully recovered and
wore himself ont waiting on his friend.
Charley was brave soul. I could not
help mourning his death; she ought not
to regret that he stayed; and my esteem
for him ia so great that my little boy,
now four years old, whose name before
was only Arthur, is now Charles Arthur;
and didn't I do right2 His is name
that ought never to die, and it will live
forever somewhere.

Brother Tom.

"Brother Tom is dead -
Not my brother Tom. but the brother
Tom of ragged boy who sat on the
curbstone on the corner the other day,
and seemed looking into the dim past,
while big tears trickled down his
cheeks.
His father was dead, his mother poor,
and he had known hunger and want
ever since he could remember. Yet he
sobbed out:
"How can We spare Tom-what will
I dor"
Hunger makes no difference with the
heart-death is the same in the cabin or
in the palace.
When I sat down beside him he looked
UP through his tears and sobbed
"I never called him names, nor
fought him, nor stole his things, nor
took more'n half the bed."
My brother Tom died years ago. He
was older than I, and he made my bows
and arrows, my bird traps, my ball bats,
and he was more than father to me.
But I couldn't say what the ragged boy
on the curbstone said. fought my
brother Ton, and 'grieved his big
healt, and put burdens on his young
shoulders when might have filled his
soul with sunshine.
All those things came up when I
found his crushed and lifeless body
under tree, and again when I stood by
tho coffin and looked upon his white
face. I would have given worlds to
have asked his forgiveness for every
harsh word ever spoken, but it was too
late. Only one hour before his death
had made bis heart ache, and my words
might have been in the poor boys mind
when he lost his hold of the chestnut
tree.

peated the ragged mourner beside me,

and twinged my heart worse than can

an old knife, and crossgun, and other
relics which treasure up in memory of
my big brother. When I look them

know that the dead cannot hear. Gould

young years over again, having brother
Tom with me-but the past is past.

now Of Georgia. and an anti.missionryist.
DR.. Skinner said he was soliciting to aid

the reply, IL don't believe in foreign mis-.
sions, and won't give any thing except
to home missions. / want what I give to

"Well," replied DR.. Skinner, ''whom

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

When oil-cloths are put down and
around stoves they wear out on the edges
quickly unless protected in some way.
Strips Of zinc are used by some, but are
not as good as common carpet binding,
doubled and tackled along the edge, or
one edge of the binding put over the OIL
cloth and the other under and fasten
with lacks. Strips Of full cloth-gray, or
any shade tn suit the taste will answer
very well, and can often be cut'out of the
best part of the garment that has been
thrown by. For common room this
last is as good as anything, and is the
most economical.
One of the most agreeable materials
for curtaining windows is coarse I'M
bleached cotton. The irregularity of the
thread and the roughness Of the surface
gives its soft folds much the charm OF
Russia crash, aud its hue warns the light
of cool, north windows almost to the glow
of sunshine.

Mysterious Murder In Kankakec, ~.
A Kankakee telegram of the 22d says
The jury in the case of Maurice Look,
who was mysteriously murdered by a
pistol shot while sleeping with his wife
Wednesday night of last week. to-day
closed their inquest and returned yer.
dict that Look came to his death by a
pistol or gun shot wound at the hands of
some person unknown, and that Peter
Vernemon, the hired man of John Look,
brother of the victim, was accessory be.
fore the act, having bought revolver in
Kankakee the morning preceding the
murder. The inquest begun Saturday
and closed tonight. The testimony was
generally vague and unsatisfactory. No
motive was developed for the commission
OF the deed by any Of the family. Peter
and the victim were not on very good
terms, but Peter was rather familiar with
Mrs. Look. Peter is held to the next
term of the Circuit Court.
