in which Mir. Tlden, in the bankruptcy records.
~ shown to hold ITO shares, struggled through
1874, but In 1875 made an assignment, and
finally fell into the United States Bankruptcy
Court. Liabilities to nearly half-million were

the stockholders in the brighter days for IRON
workers. During the interim between the
Company's evident insolvency and the last
throe. prominent men In this county, ana IN
Chicago and Boston, who were stockholders
and Directors, made an effort TO rsase, by pro.
portionate assessment on the stock, an amount
sufficient to pay the labor claims: The hon.
+. Bretung, the Hon. III. j. Colwell. secretary
and Treasurer, Messrs. Meeker or Chicago,
Fav Of Boston. and others, made an earnest OF
their appreciation OF labor claims by agreeing
TO contribute their proper share. Mr. breitung
went East and secured the cooperation OF all
the stockholders, save one, in their honest en-
deavor to pay the laborer his hire. The agree
ment, however, was on the condition that du
the stockholders contribute proporuonateiy TO
the fund. Mr.. Tden was the last stockholder
invited into the arrangement. He utterly re-
fused to contribute one cent. The stock was
non assessabe, but under Michigan law the
Directors and stockholders are individually La
BILE for labor debts; yet, as Tilden remarked.
he was too far away from Michigan to be
due on account of labor. No appeal, no argu-
ment no threats, no entreaty, could call from
his plethoric purse the sum Of $1,000, the pro-
portion found due on his stock. He declined
to treat with the agent who voluntarily en-
deavored to settle the just claims Of " US" Ia
borers. So the scheme failed and the work.
men are still unpaid. Tilden, whose silver
tongue is ready to sympathize with the idle
artisan is not the same when his gold Golfers
are called on to discharge honest debts due the
starving laborer. He lost practical opportu-
nitv to exemplar his Albany speech, but he has
so far saved his 81 300.-a far greater satisfac-
ton to his superannuated avarice. He can
continue talking to i've laborers," but he de-
ciines to put up" and, suppose, to t. shut
up"
This is not a campaign lie. 1t can be proven
true in Marquette, Negaunee Chicago, New
York, or Boston. A warm supporter OF Tilden,
q lifelong Democrat, and member OF the de-
funct Company, vouches for the truth Of the
statemen; that Sam Tiden alone, Of his own
free will, against the earnest appeal OF his
brother stockholders, beat the laborIng men Of
the Michigan Iron Company out of over S40,-
600, and at time, too, when times were mighty
hard in Michigan.
How does this comport with the Albany
speech Of krtful Dodger"3 EIsEN.

There is an Indian superstition attached n
Saratoga lake which probably had it's source in
It's remarkable loneliness and tranquility. The
Mohawks believed that its stiffness was sacred
to the Great Spirit, and that If human voice
uttered sound upon its waters. the canoe of
the offender would instantly sink. A story il
told OF an Englishwoman, in the early DAYS of
the first settlers, who had occasion to cross
this lake with party of Indians, who, before
embarkng, warned her most impressively of
the spell. It was a silent. breathless day, and
the canoe shot over the surface Of the lake like
an arrow. About half q mile from the shore
near the center OF the lake, the woman, wish,
ing to convince the Indians Of the erroneous
ness OF their superstition, uttered a loud cry.
The countenances OF the Indians fell instantly
TO the deepest gloom. After minutes pause,
however, they redoubled their exertions, and ia
frowniDg silence drove the light bark swiftly
over the waters. They reached the shore IN
safety, and drew up the canoe, when the wo-
man rallied the chief on his credulity - The
Great Spirit is mercIful, answered the scornful
Mohawk "he knows that q white woman can
not bold her tongue "-Harper'e Magazine for

Border Life, Present and Past.

The terrible fate Of Custer and bis gallant
three hundred adds another tragic chapter to
the great book OF Border events whose begin
country, whose end will be only when the
Indians as a race shall have become extinct.
The horrors Of the Modoc Campaign are yet
faesh in our memories. The historic Lava
Beds, Indian cunning battling the skill OF our
and treachery eliminating IN the death OF the
brave Candy and others whose mission was
honorable treaty and peace-all these are still
remembered with shudder. Their parallels
in device and atrocty are only found in the
deeds that compose the history OF the = Dark
and Bloody Ground" or among those which
mark the bloody tracks OF the treacherous
Mingoes, descending from their Great Lake
fastness upon the unsuspecing tribes and set
Elements OF the Susquehanna and Allegheny.
So with this heart-rending story of Custer
and his men, which has been sprung upon the
country so suddenly, and which is being read
amid tears Of sorrow and calls for vengeance,
| from one end OF the land to the other. Some
may find it parallel IN the history OF Leonidas
and bis three hundred some may seek for like
sacrifices amid the annals OF the Scottish Chiefs
or Polish Patriots. But it is only when we
turn to the thrilling chapters OF our old Border
history that we read and re-read, in intensified
form, the bloody story OF Rose Bud and Big
Horn Rivers. Custer and his three hundred
ambushed by willy foe and melting away In
death before odds rendered doubly and terribly
| formidable by bewildering shrieks and stealthy
mode Of fighting, recall with vivid efforts the
tragedy OF Braddock's Field, whose detailes are
80 graphically and fully narrated in that Won
derful book, Our Western Border One Hun
bred Years Ago."*
Or if our parallels be sought, they abound in
the same brilliant, stirring and faithful vol
umn for Custer and Big Horn, Candy and the
Lava Beds Modoc and Sioux. are but repeti-
tons, now fainter, now fercer, OF Dalzell and
Bloody Run, Crawford and Battle Island.
Hammer and the Miami Towns.
The new story whether Of victory or defeat,
massacre or escape, cunning or adventure,
treachery or dash, hardship or retreat, is but
an epitome Of the old filled with its qraint and
primitive portraitures haloed about by thrill
ing traditions, and sanctifed to US by the facts
that our fathers we're part Of 1t and these our
dwelling-places were scenes IN the midst OF it.
