A Natural Wonder-With Tradition
From the Cawkcr City Echo.l

From the Cawkcr City Eoho.l
The Great Spirits Spring situated just
east Of this city on a mound some thirty
five feet in height, the base of which will
cover an acre Of ground, has been the sub
feet of more letters and editorials than any
other natural curiosity in the State OF Kan
sas. In years gone by the Indians OF the
plains assembled here periodically to make
sscri6ces and partake OF the waters of the
spring which then as now contained won
derful medicinal properties.
An old Indian tradition has if, that on
the summit Of this mound, and on the We ~
edge Of the spring (which is twenty feet in
diameter and twice as deep), once occurred
the biaodiest hand TO hand encounter be-
tween two Indian lovers, that the savage or
enlightened eye ever beheld. The hand of
the beautiful Indian princess Wahcondah
was sought by two braves, and while the
lovely dark eyed maiden permitted her af-
fections to 60 out toword the younger, her
stern parent desired her to wed the elder
and wealthier of the two. One beautiful
spring morning, as the sun peered over the
lar eastern bluffs, it beheld the gentle Kan
sas sephyrs toying with the lovely maiden's
hair, while she, all unconcious of her beau
~, was listening in virgin bashfulness to
the vows of her favorite. The elder lover
approached the spring to bring his morning
sacrifice, when this scene met his gaze,
The eyes of the braves met, and they re-
solved It once to bill each other, well know
ing that neither father nor daughter would

end was drawing near, and the battle seem

Wahcondah's favorite, BY an unlucky mis-
step both were plunged into the spring, and

Strange Phenomenon /!

From the Fayetteville (Ark) Democrat
A strange phenomenon was witnessed
about five miles south of this city on Friday
of last week, the truth of which is vouched
for by Mr.. l. n. Lewis, ]. ID. Tankersly
and other reliable citizens who were eye
witnesses. 1t had the appearance of being
. large ball of fire about the size of flour
barrel, was moving in . northeasterly di-
rec.ion, and created noise like the roar
ing and rumbling Of distant artillery, being
distinctly heard for several miles. This
remarks able phenomenon was observed by 4
large number of persons along its cour-e in
broad day light. Now let some scientist
explain, or the superstitious will think that
"oid Nick" is roaring around like beast,
seeking whom he may devour.

President Grant took occasion TO ex-
ercise his prerogative, as Commander-in-
Chief of the army, by removing Gen. Gus
ter from his brevet command, and ordering
him back to his regiment. And this act Of
the President seems to meet with universal
appreciation; even the Chicago Times,
which is about as far from being an admin
istration organ as paper could conven-
iently be, commends the Presidents course,
and then gives Custer this parting salute:
