AN INDIAN STORY.

Charlevoix, an old French writer, re
marked that the Indians were SO acute
that even on the hardest ground they
could discover if person had recently
passed, and could distinguish the footsteps
of men from those of women, and even of
what nation the parties were. An anec-
dote is related of an Indian hunter, who,
having discovered that some venison
which he had hung up in his hut to dry,
had been stolen. set off through the woods
in pursuit of the thief He had not pro-
ceededf far before he met with some per-
sons ef whom he inquired if they had seen
little old white man with a shotgun ac-
companied by small dog with little
tail, as a man of that description had
stolen his venison. They happensd to
have seen such person; and the Indian,
on being asked how he could describe a
man whom he had never seen, replied:
ssThe thief, know, is little man, by
his having made pile of stones to stand
upon in order to reach the venison; that
he was All old man, know, by his short
steps, which have traced over the dead
leaves in the woods; and that he is white
man, know, by his turning out his toes
when he walks, which an Indian never
does. His gun know to be short, by the
mark the muZzle made in rubbing the
bark of the tree on which it leaned; that
his dog is small, know by his tracks;and
that his tail is short, | discovered by the
mark it made in the dust where he was
sitting at the time his master was taking
down the yenison."

BUR WING OF GEN. HAMPTON's
RESIO ENCE.

COLUMBIA, SC, November 27.-Gen.
HamptOn's home, three miles from this
city, was burned on Friday last, during
the night. The flames burst forth stimuli
taneously from fall parts of the building
and the generals two sisters and two
Young sons had only time to escape
with their lives. The library and articles
of vertu saved from the fire of 1855,
when Hampton's fathers home was
burned at the same time as his own, his
silver and clothlng,were all burned. The
ladies escaped saving only their dressing
gowns, and Gen. Hampton has not a sim
gle article of clothing except those he
had on. The only thing saved was bust
of Gen. Wade Hampton, of the revolu-
ton. The fire was incendiary. That
night by accident the general lodged in
the citv. There was no insurance.
STEALING Hoss.-On Friday night
last, two hogs, valued at $40, were stolen
from the premises of James Shivers, in
Centre township, below Gloucester City.
N. j., Mr.. Shivers, on discovering his loss,
traced the hogs and alleged thief to South
Camden, where he detected colored
man, whose name is Albert johnson, ne

saw Mr.. Shivers, started off on run,
followed by large crowd.
The pursued man plunged into New
ton creek and swan and waded out OF
reach of his pursuers. He was subsequent
ly captured by Mr.. Henry Redfield near
the scene of the robbery, and marched at
the muzzle of a gun tswsrd Camden.
On the way up colored man, named
John Shields, was met with the hogs in
charge, returning them to the owner.
Mr.. Redfield asked Shields if he could
identify johnson as the man charged with
stealing the hogs. Shields identified him
at once, when johnson attacked him with
knife. infiicting a severe wound in the
shoulder. Johnson was taken befort

HOW THE PERPLExINa QUESTION IS AN

HOW THE PERPLExING QUESTION IS AN
swERRD By THE REV. G. p. M'CARrHY.
The Rev. G. p, Mccarthy, who breaches
every Sunday in the University building
Washington square, as pastor Of what "a
called the American True Church, en-
deavored to answer the question, sWho
Was Gains Wife," last evening. He took
his text from the fourth chapter of Gene
sis and the. seventeenth verse, The
preacher said that he had selected the
peculiar subject announced at the request
of several members of his congregation.
Maintaining that old theories as to the
meaning of the Bible stories had ceased
to be tenable because of the increased
light of science, he said that the theory
held by many as to Gains wife would
also have to I've abandoned. "The ortho-
dox answer to the question" said he, sis
perhaps Cain married his sister, Well,
I don't think he did. Now, 1 am not go
ing to shirk the answering of this ques-
ton. have a theory of our race which
others do not believe in. Nine out Of ten
believe that the human race came from
one pair. don't believe it. Do you say
that is heretioal? Perhaps it is, but this
| is not question to be answered by those
who cling to the old theories. That old
theory can never answer it. In the first
place Cain would not have married his
sister when he departed to the land of
NOu, DeCitlSc Ht Httu ITO SlSLtf. W nen
Seth was born Adam was only one hun
dred and thirty years old, u very young
man for those days, and Seth was his
third child. There is no mention of
daughters. In the second place Cain de-
parted to % country where there were
people, and he feared these people would
slay him because of his crime, and the
Lord recognized the reality of this dan
ger and set mark on him that he might
be saved. The Bible nowhere states that
there were only two people originally
created. Adam was the generic name
| for the human race and male and female
created he them' Do you believe that
negroes and Chinese are the descendants
| of the same progenitors with ourselves?
| don't. Cain went over in the land of
Nod, and there became the chief of a race
which he found there. He built a city,
He couldn't have done this alone. This,
then, must be my answer to the question
there were were races efpeople upon this
earth at the time Cain was driven out Il
vagabond. and from this race Cain took
his WIFE"
| The preacher dwelt at considerable
length on the lessons to be drawn from
the life of Cain. and eXorted all to avoid
the little sins for even Cain did not be-
come murderer all at once, but was led
lup to this great crime by envy and jealous
feelings.

TW FED

Now thai our worthy fellow cit
izen has come before the curtain
again, a brief sketch OF his life NAV
not be unintereoting, especially to
those who Of late have talked so
much about Tweed without know
ing much about him. William
Marcy Tweed ia his full name.
and he was born at "a Cherry ST.,
New York city, in 1923. Then
this, now criminal and degraded
quarter OF the city, WAS the favor
lite residence OF plain, respectable
burgner5, 10 this place belonged
Tweed father, an American Scot
and chairmaker by trade. He
af,erward saved money, and be-
came ii manufacturer on his own
account. His mother was a Long
Islander, OF indomitable energy,
aud a good housekeeper. OF this
mother, William was the favorite,
and somewhat spoiled. At an ear
ly day young Bill and brother
Richard were put at their fathers
trade much to the neglect of their
school education, and not until la
ter years did Bill get any school
ing. AL chair-making he was a
failure, and he was released from
hisappren,iceship to become sad
lery and hardware clerk. After
year at this, he went to school un-
de, an Elizabeth, New Jersey,
Clergyman, and became a good
penman al d accountant, for which
latter qualification he was after
ward noted. After this brief
schooling he clerked for u tobac-
conist two years, and when six
teen years he became q salesman
for brush mandatory in which
his father Was a partner. On the
fathers retirement the two sons
assumed his interest, in which
connection they remained several
years, and then engaged in the
chair manufacturing business upon
the fathers credit. Their suisse
quent failure for 100000 ruined
the old gentleman, who soon died
estranged from them both, as
they had abused his confidence
Speculatiag in stocks caused their
ruin. William spent too much
time with Ward politics aud en-
CINE affairs. He joined a hose COM
pany and afterwards helped to or
ganize and become foreman of the
"Americus" engine No. 6, known
as big Six These were the
DAYS Of the volunteer department..
Blk Six" company was made up
OF the "Quills" and "Roughs"-
the latter of whom were instigated
to disorder by Tweed i'm order to
offend the respectable clerk men,
beers. AS foreman of this company
Tweed became the city pet of the
"bOys." Like them he was rough
in his manners and speech, bla-
taut boaster, fond of display He
was at one time deep drinker
until forbidden by his physician,
and was VIGOROUSLY licentious, -
The tide of immigration was fast
pouring into New York, and by
the manipulation of this element
the ward politician hoped to gain
power. Tweed now devoted his
whole attention to politics, and in
1850 was elected Alderman after
being defeated in 1874 when run
ming for Assistant Alderman. At
this immediate time the council
men were fifty called the Forty
Thieves" Tweed served on sew
eral committees, made great dis
Dlay of parliamentary practice. and
always voted for expenditures
where he could gain friends by the
measure. At the Henry CLAW OBJ

1t occasionally happens, says the
New York World, that woman
with her husband or her lover
enters crowded street car, and a
young man whose chivalric feel
ings have not been utterly destroy
ed by constant contact with the
busy world, rises and surrenders
his seat to the lady. He takes hold
If one Of the straps hanging from
the roof of the car for the conve-
nience of passengers to whom all
other conveniences of travel are
denied, and stands patiently in the
aisle with the glow of conscious
welI-doing upon his boow. He
feels that he has done an act of
kindness to a damsel i'm distress !;
that he has paid due homage to
the gentler sex that he has ac-
quilted himself courteously toward
y stranger. He can, therefore, bear
with composure the elbowing Of
the conductor as he passes in ard
out, and trampiug of fellow pas
sengers upon his toes. The meek
satisfaction Of self sacrifice exalts
him. Let such one enjoy tho il
lusions of his youth while he may,
for few moments will see his rev.
erence for womanhood dissipated,
and hard, distrustful cynicism
take its place. Invariably, after
his act of courtesy, comes q sequel
of selfishness as If in bitter mock
cry. One Of the passengers sitting
beside the lady arises to 90 out
She g.ides hastily along, so as TO
make room for her escort, lover or
husband, a. the case may be, and
that gentleman glides quickly into
the seat, leaving the courteous
young stranger still hanging to the
strap hanging to the Oof,and abid-
ing the Bullets of the conductor
To him the little drama is q reve-
latiOn. He sees at once the mean
ness OF humanity. The hollewness
of the world and the sawdust stuff
ing of his doll are painfully APP
parent. He feels toward the man
or woman who have disenchanted
him as Sir Pelleas did toward
Gawain and Etarre when he laid
his naked sword across their false
Threats. He who has been cheated
out of his seat by the w ian to
whom he has surrendered Ills own
has touched the bottom of all
meanness and disgust, and may go
through life confident that he will
never again experience such a SEN
sation of cheapness and weakness
as he did when he saw the couple
to whom he had been so courteous
cOmplacently settle close to each
other and smile in blissful forget
fitness OF existence Even the
fiend's arch mock would be beara-
BILE to the victim of such mis-
cry

LAMENT OF CHE MAN WHO
Nd POLITICIAN.

Is there no peace for a soul
That's distracted with doubt2
Let us knew who is in,
Let US know who is out;
For our eyes they grow din
AS on figures we gaze
That make itfor Tilden
Aud make it for Hayes.
0 for seers and for prophets
Like those fthe jewsi
They were better than papers
That plague US wi b news;
They were smarter than editors
All in d re,
Who tell us till Tilden
And tell US tbs Hayes.
Call the spooks and the mejums,
Perhaps they will know;
Summon Slade with his pencil
Aud Home with his show.
Let them rap on our sconces
To end our amaze,
And say il is Tilden
Or say it is Hayes.
Is that phantasmal vote
HID ia the mountains or swamps
Go, Grays, with your lanterns,
Go, Blues, with your lamps;
Hunt it down, and when captured,
Just give il q blaze,
Whether fatal to Tilden
Or fatal to Hayes.
We long for a season
Ofquiet and rest,
To wipe off our chin
Or to pull down our vest,
But how can we do it
When boys stop their plays
To shout madly for Tilden
Or madiy for Hayesi
Our young men grow gray
And our fat men grow thin,
Fed on extras that lie
Like original sin.
Give us calm for our SAUNDERS
And pesce for our days,
For we weary of Tilden
And weary Of Hayes.

LIVE STOCK AT THE CENTENNIAL

The display of stock will be made in serial
order and in stalls especially erected. The
location of the stock-yards is between the
City and the Centennial Grounds, and is
upon the principal avenue of communication.
The area that will be occupied for this
purpose is of twenty-five acres. and is in full
view of the Exhibition buildings The stalls
will number 40 for horses, 14x14 feet square,
these to be afterwards doubled by longitude
nal partitions making 1910 stalls for neat
cattle and afterwards the same tor sheep and
swine, and againtor poultry. ..
The officers, qnartermaster's department,
restaurants, etc., will be OF a character to ac-
cord with the occasion. The classification
adopted was reached after full consultation
with parties competent to advise, and will be
adhered to, as we desire to exhibit animals
Of puberty and good blood. The premiums
to be awarded lave not yet been determined
upon, and further consideration will probably
be postponed until after the Exhibition, that
the Commissioners may be guided by the
financial prospects. The railroads of the
country have agreed to charge full rates
upon live stock going to Philadelphia, and
to return the anne free of charge, II conces-
sion as liberal as could be expected.
Canada has enterd one hundred and fifty
horses, one hundred and fifty cattle, three
hundred coops of poultry, and as many
sheep and swine. England will exhibit in
all classes and some. stock will be received
from Germany, France and Spain. May |
not look to you TO develop a interest anon
the breeders of your State, thus perfecting
an exhibition of the stock Of the country, that
visitors both from the country and abroad
may see what we have as a nucleus upon
which to draw our live stock for the future.
Forms can at all times be had by address,
ing me.
| trust you will give publicity to the ar
engagements made for the exhibition of stock
and s%trenuously urge the breeders of your
State to occupy arank fully consistent with
their well known position.
Yours respectfully,
