A Story OF the Sea.

Sitting before . blazing woodgrate in
a farmhouse in Bridgehampton, Z. !.
an old gentleman told this story: Many
years ago, our fathers tell us q strange
woman dwelt alone in little cottage on
the headlands OF tho coast upon the out
skirts OF the village. She was not OK.
actly insane, but she had curious ways,
and people wondered that she should
choose to build her house ON the very
verge OF the stormy ocean. II was
Q warm and snug little cottage, and over
its walls crept green vines and ivies, and
flowers varied and beautiful filed the
garden in the summer time. She was 0
curious soul and she had nothing what
ever to do with the village people, but
kept close to her home and spent her
time in adorning its walls, in reading,
and in talking TO herself. But she had
one strange habit that no one could ex-
plain. It was this: Every afternoon
Just as tho village clock struck three, she
might be seen standing, with streaming
locks, on the edge of the head, looking
straight out at sea and making faces at
and wildly taunting the roaring pillows
that tossed tangled sea wreaths at her
feet. She would stand in this way for
several minutes and then she would re-
turn to her home. People said, but
with what truth no one ever knew, that
this woman had once been comely
maiden, the belle Of Connecticut vii
lage on the sea coast that she plighted
her troth to q sailor on a headland of the
sea one afternoon on the day of hie de-
parture for long ocean voyage. They
were to be welded on the day Of his re-
turn. Three years passed and the sailor
had not returned and the Connecticut
maiden did not see her lover again until
his ifeless body was rolled up at her
feet in the surf waves in terrible tom
pest that shook the coast. She was made
insane by the shock and soon after began
to wander up and down the ocean beach
at the hour at which her lovers body
had been washed in upon the shore,
out her hands and mouthing
at the waves. She at length came over
to Long Island and here she died
withered old woman. On the day fixed
for her burial a stranger came to the
village and stopped the funeral rites,
saying that he was the brother of the
dead woman. He took the body to Con-
necticut and it was buried by the side of
that of her betrothed, and the two graves
look out to-day upon the sound from the
crest of gnarly hilltop on the Connecti-
cut shore

How Indians Cure Meat.

When her lord has killed buffalo
the woman work begins. She has t.
skin II, the meat to secure, and all Il
pack upon ponies or mules, and carry tt
camp, where the meat must be cured
This Ia done by cutting 1t into thin
sheets, and hanging II over poles in the
hot sunshine, where II is soon dried thor
oughly; then 1t is packed fresh in pack
ages OF about one hundred pounds each,
and inclosed in a nice folding sack oi
thick buffalo skin, prepared especially
for the purpose. This is not dressed
down thin after being Aeshed, but well
tanned, and Of the full thickness OF the
skin; the hair side nicely ornamented
with paint, for the outside Of the sack.
This u out out like huge envelope, so
that the ends and sides will fold over
VIZ, sever is put in them, and secured by
strong buokskin strings. Bybeing thick
il retains it's form, and is very useful for
carrying other things besides meat and
tallow. After the meat is taken care of
the skin must be looked after. Those
taken at this season OF the year are most
ly dressed for lodges. They are first
staked on smooth spot Of ground. and
water put upon them, when they are
ready for feshing. This consists in re-
moving the flesh with nm instrument
made Of straight bar of iron, about o
foot in length, flattened at one end and
fled to an edge. This being grasped in
the hand, and a succession of quick
blows given, the work slowly proceeds.
The skin is then dried, after which the
hair is removed in a dry state, and the
skin reduced to the proper thickness by
dressing down on the hair side. This is
done with an instrument made by firmly
tying q fiat piece of steel, filed to
beveled edge at one end, and with the
corners rounded, to large prong of
deer's horn. This is so trimmed, in
connection with the body of the horn, as
to form IN elbow, and is used little as
a carpenter uses his adze. This work is
usually done in the cool of the morning.
The brains of the animal, having been
properly taken care of for the purpose,
are now soaked and squeezed by the
hand until reduced to a paste, and ap-
piled to both sides of the skin, which is
worked and rubbed until fexi-
BILE. The preparation of robes is from
winter skins, and differs from the fore
going only in being dressed down on the
flesh side, SO as to leave the wool and
hair upon the robe, and is more thor
oughly worked, and secured by means
Of a sharp-gritted stone.

That Boy Bob.

Bob Ia . boy, of course. and he acte,
just like . boy just as you, reader
you are OF that sex-have done hundred
Of times in your boyhood days. But 10
the Danbury Ne,vs tell tho story:
Bob's mother is one OF those unhapp,
women who will be obeyed, and Dol
could not 60 skating that day. Wha
would Bob dol The look in his eye
grew harder, the fingers increased thei
pressure, and the lines in his face-th,
hard, cruel lines-became more marked
Death would not come at the beck Of ,
boy with tear stained cheeks. But Bot
would have his revenge without the ait
Of the dread messenger. Had hi
mother loved him she could not have
been 90 cruel. But he would test thai
love now, however great or little II
might be. His own heart was nusut
With pain. Why should not she suffer
She should He brought his hands TO-
gether with sharp, nervous force, and
uttered this determination aloud. HI
could not defy her, but he could grieve
her, and he would. He would lacerate
her feelings, he would wiring her heart,
he would crush her soul. Howl II
doesn't seem possible that heart &C
young could conceive such o cruel pur
pose. Bob determined to eat no sup
per! He could hear the dishes rattle In
the dining-room, but every sound only
strengthened him in his determination.
He would go without food, and gloat
over the agony in his conscience stricken
mothers face as he faded slowly away
before her eyes. How happy Bob was
now-so malioiously, 80 cruelty happy.
Pretty soon there was step in the hall.
It was his mothers coming to call him
to supper. She opened the door.

"'M."
"Come to your supper.
II don't want no supper" he said, in
a constrained voice.
"Don't want any supper9"
"No," he mumbled.

before we get through the table will be
cleared of, and you sham have a mouth
full" +" was the somewhat unexpected re-
joinder.
II don't care" he replied, in a stiAed
voice.
Then the door was shut, and Bob was
alone again-a somewhat surprised and
Bob. To his strained hear
ing every sound at the table was dis
tinctly apparent. Then came the extra
rattling Of clearing away the things, and
shortly after silence. Poor Bob He
covered his hands over his head, and
sobbed himself to sleep. When Bob
awoke the darkness was intense, and he
was chilled to the marrow. He raised
his head and listened. Not sound was
heard. He crept out Of bed and found
his way to the door. The hall was as
dark as the room. His parents had gone
TO bed, and had never come near to see
him fade slowly away, and were now,
without doubt, sound asleep, with no
thought Of little Bob. How long he had
slept he could not tell, but while he
slept q great transformation had gone
On. The aching void in his heart had
been transferred to his stomach.
and quaking, he got out of
his clothes and crept into bed, with a
feeling that made him burrow his head
,ut Of sight beneath the covers. The
next morning he did not have to be
called to breakfast, but at the table, I'M
Ter self-inficted protest of mild type,

The Cipher.

The following Ia An enigma sent 10
a lady, who requested q cipher, by the
composer, well-known English cleric.
II was az follows
"A0u0, 0 thee
Oh 0 no 0, but mo
Yet thy my 0 once forso.
Till you do the 0 u 0 co."
Il cipher your sigh for, sigh for thee,
Oh sigh for no sipher, but sigh for mo;
Yet thy sigh for my sigh, for onoo forgo,
Till you decipher the cipher, you sigh for so.)
The lady's reply, which we append
herewith, is equal witty:
~ DO your 0, but 0 you not,
40 am I, and can't your lot;
send you . Q, and q your psini
But you 0, you m ysin."
"a decipher you cipher, but Sigh for you NOT,
A cipher am I, and can't sigh for your lot;
I send you cipher, and sigh for your pain,
But sigh for your cipher, ,you sigh for In vain)

Tho Elm and the Vine.

Tho Elm and the Vine.
Uphold my feeble branches
With thy strong arms, pray;"
Thus to the elm, her neighbor-
The vine-was heard to say;
ELSE, lying low and helpless,
A weary lot Is mine,
Crawlod DER by overy reptile,
And browsed by hungry kine."
Tho elm was moved TO pity;
Then spoke tho generous tree
."My hapless friend, come hither,
And find support In mo-"
- Tho kindly elm, receiving
Tho graceful vines embrace,
Became tho chosen covert
In whioh the wild birds sing;
Became the love Of shepherds,
And glory Of tho spring.
Oh, beautiful example
For youthful minds to heed
The good We do to others
Shall never miss It's need
The love Of those whose sorrows
We tighten shall be ours,
And DER the path We walk In
That love shall scatter flowers.

evicted for repairing the mischief OF that
force, and restoring the protection which
Democracy has destroyed. An assassin
assaults you or your neighbor with intent
to kill. You draw weapon to protect
yourself or your neighbor, and the assas-
sin appears before the next grand jury to
cause your indictment for carrying con-
cealed weapons.
The issues are now being made for the
Presidential campaign. The Republicans
insist that Messrs. Hill, Toombs and
other Democrats intend to make it in the
South campaign of terror and blood.
The nation is awaiting the testimony.
There has been historical proof that the
Democracy of Louisiana has never sub
mitted to the law of suffrage and has al
ways gone into every canvass armed with
firearms, obloquy and prescription. We
wish the charge that the Democratic
House of Representatives here, which
owes its majority to compromise on the
basis of restored peace, is now sitting as
campaign committee to excite the
whole people of Louisiana against the
Republican white and colored citizens.
Let the proofs Of this be added to the
speeches Of Hill, Preston and Toombs,
and the issue asserted by Senator Morton
will be completed.

peach the Governor for acts committed
year and . half ago, unless the Sem
ate resigns its constitutional right to
participate in legislation, the sooner
they do it the better. Let them
prepare their articles as soon as posi-
bic, and present them to the Senate,
where there is no doubt they will be prop
erly disposed of. If the Democrats fear
this issue, the Governor has no reason to
do so. If he is to be made martyr I'M
less he betrays his party and the helpless
people who look to him to defend their
rights Of citizenship, let the Ak fall as
soon as possible. But let us not have the
miserable farce of surrender of the Re-
turning Board first and the impeachment
of the Governor afterwards. Every Re-
publican in the State is interested in this
attack on the Governor. He is at pres
emit an obstacle to certain revolutionary
schemes, and his removal is deemed q
necessary preliminary to success. The
battle of the next campaign turns upon
this point. If the Republicans remain
firm they must win. If they surrender
the safeguards of law, inevitable disaster
awaits them

TIME.

The organ has called time on the Re.
publican Senate, thus:
The Senate has aeked for conference
committee on the election bill. This is the
first move in the execution of the plan
which we have foreshadowed. Their OBJ
ject is delay. Our Conservative Legislators
have but one thing to do, namely to insist
upon the abolition of the Returning Board
and that before the end Of nert aoeek.
According to accepted Democratic doc.
trine, "a majority that ca, be intimidated
is incompetent to exercise the right o.
suffrage" The Conservative members who
are required to do the Democratic bidding
will, we hope, prove their right of suffrage
by refusing 20 be inundated as above.

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY. FEBRUARY IT, 1875

, Democratic Conservative party oy isrko
majority, which Grants cavalry Will only
increase.
The registrars report Of the vote IN
Natchitoches shows the whites as SIX 10
fifteen. The total vote being 4347' the
white vote would be 1861 and the colored
vote 1886, and yet the Red river tactics
will reverse this result and carry the par
ish for the White League.
With the same malevolent spirit escap-
ing from every part of the Democratic
organization, it is difficult to see how an
open, fragrant war for the Offices OF the
State can be avoided in the next cam
paign: :.
Senator Blunt, in defending himself
against anonymous indictment for alleged
offenses, says that he has voted tor
every measure of reform, and has other
wise demeaned himself as faithful rep
resentative. Yet he asserts that plot
had been formed to kill him last Christ
mas, and he intimates the personal danger
OF even returning to his constituents.
This intimidation of voters, this per-
sonal peril of all Republican representa-
tives and officials, whether by assassina-
ton or impeachment, indicates that the
next election in Louisiana will be mill
tary canvass, in which the result will be
decided before the election takes place.
We regard representative fidelity as the
highest duty of Republican, but it can
not vindicate his political principles from
the hatred of his political enemies, nor
can it shield him from expulsion or his
constituents from massacre it the White
League have occasion for the representa-
tive position.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-02-17
RESULT OF REVOLUTION.

A RESULT OF REVOLUTION.
In their eagerness to Dust the Repub-
lican officials from place, the Democracy
evidently overlook one of the possible
consequences of political revolution. 1t
may be safely assumed that the legal i'm
parchment and subsequent conviction OF
the Governor is an impossibility. He
can not even be suspended from Office by
the vote of the House alone. In case such
an attempt is made, however, and all
other means fail, application will un-
doubtedly be made to the government at
Washington for protection. This may be
afforded in the shape Of martial law, when
the whole machinery Of the State govern
meet, and especially the means to be en-
ployed in conducting the election in Nov
ember will be put into the hands of off,
GERS appointed by the President. Taxes
will be collected and disbursements made
by military authority. Voters and votes
will be scanned and scrutinized in such
a way that cheating will be as impossible
as Democratic victory without it.
Fortunately, Andrew johnson is not
President now, and if he we're, the ma
tional Democracy has become disguised
with their Southern brethren, and will
not object to let them come in for the
consequences Of their own follies. The
Republicans wish to avoid the disgrace
which would thus fall upon State by
forcing the national government to take
it into custody, though on the mere
ground of party success, they would
have no reason to object to martial law,
especially if it came as relief against
mob law.
