dcrcd muscular fellow, stepped To the
centre OF the field and related his Own
glorious deeds 10y Hood and field.
During the progress OF the dasce Sou
Sousc designated to an old squaw the
particular dogs that were his choice for
the sacrifice. These would have been
white in color. but the " hite ones having
all been slaughtered the previous dav,
yellow dogs were substituted. one was
caught and tied 10y u short line To stake
aud the sguaw attacked him with q club
Striking AT the head she missed him and
hit him on the nose, whcreupon the dog
howled di,mally. This brought out sev.
eral other squaws with clubs. aud a dozen
more dogs, AMI finally the clubs beat the
life out OF half II dozen animals aud they
were ready for the next step. They were
thrown on quick brush fire, which
sluged of all the hair, after which the
squaws scraped them well and t"ok out
the entrails. The animals were then eX-
posed on the stones at the foot Of the
poles within the inclosurc, during the
performance Of certain ceremonies by the
medicine men, whose medicine bags
played an important parti the ceremony,
Then the Carcasses were cut to pieces,
put in large camp-kcttle and placed on
the fire. In about two hours, during
which time the dancing and speech-mak-
ing went on uninterruptedly,t the dogs were
pronounced done and the feast ready. All
the Indians were invited inside the fence,
and each man furnished with tin pan.
Two young bucks were detailed to dish
out the dog, which presented a very re-
pulsive appearance as it was borne from
man to man, that each one might select
the part he intended to devour. | de-
cline, of course, to say what part was re-
ceived in my own dish, and have only to
say that, bade to come to the feast, it
would have been grave breach Of cour-
tesy to refuse to partake. Sou Souse, who
sat next to me, had his pan garnished
with hind leg and three joints of tail,
which he soon made away with. In fact
every one seemed hungry, and the dog
was soon dispatched, the bones being
picked as clean as though flesh had never
grown on them. For the celebration of
a solemn act of communion with the
spirits, it seemed remarkably like an AS
semblage convened for the express pur-
pose Of eating dog,-New Yorh EOenIng

Ou the ncNt day Jack was really sick.
H. Was too valuable hand To- be- given
up. aud his mistress called a physician
There WAS no irycr. hut a simple de.
raugrmrut OF the digestive organs, which
be thought would bee readily conquered
You mus, make him well the
widow saii, "ior want to sci, of o.,
soon o., I can. and h Jack l. all that my
husband claimed him to bc certainly
ought To get twelve hundred dollars tor
him"
Jack happened 20 ovrrhoar 'hi, and
be- grew ~ better very fast. In a few
duys his mistress became alarmed.
What can be the matter with himt
she asked the doctor.
And the doctor told her, with pro-
tessiunal dignity, that he thought the
boy" WAS "brcaking up Some old
dsi,use contracted on the rivera sort
of low. persistent fcver,it was coming To-.
BY and by, when Jack had stood the
breaking down process as long rs he
could. and when he knew the physician
had given up all hopes of curing him, he
ventured to broach the subject nearest
his heart.
"Missus," said he, as solemn as solemn
could be, struggling for breath gaSping-
ly, Il specs dis yer nigger's gwine fur
to die. Dis ole carcass is bout done for
an gone up. Now, Is got a bit ob
money laid away-mOncy dat ] made on

Oh, Missus! I'd like to die free man. Z.
Golly! pears to me if | could jes' for
once own myself | should be de happiest
niger goin'. | could die my own
masr.'
Jack confessed that he could raise Il
hundred dollars, and for that sum his
mistress gladly gave him the papers that
made him a free man. On the next day
after getting his papers he went on board
the May Queen, and was hired at once by
the engineer al good wages; and after
cutting off his medicine lie was not long
in regainiDg his pristine health and
vigor.
Jack is gray-headed now, but he is
still in the land of the living, and, as
said ut the outset, one of the best engi-
neers on the river; and he loves, even at
this day, to tel of bis grand speculation
when he made trade with his mistress.

Who Ate Roger Williams?
MACON CITY, Mo- What is meant by
the question, "Who ate Roger WiIliamst'
Answer in your paper, and oblige,

MACON CITY, Mo.-What is meant by
the question, "WhO ate Roger WiIIiamst'
Answer in your paper, and oblige,
ANOTHER ENQUIRER.
Last week we did not know Roger
Williams had been eaten, aud SO AN
swered. Since that time friend has
given us information Of the singular
event, and it occurred in this wise: Roger
Williams was II native of Wales, was II
Puritan and founder of the Colony of
Rhode Island. He died in Providence in
1888. Many years afterwards, the pri.
vate burying-ground where he was in.
TERED was searched for the remains of
himself and wife, for the purpose of
erecting monument over them. Very
little was found. The shape of the cofiius
could only be traced by "a black line in
the earth. The rusted hinges and nails
and round wooden knot alone remained
in one grave, while single lock of braid
ed hair was found in the other. Near the
grave stood an apple tree, the larger root
Of which pushed its way to the precise
spot occupied by the skull Of Roger Will
liams, and, turning, passed around it and
followed the direction of the backbone
to the hips. Here it is divided into two
branches, sending one along each leg to
the heel, when the roots turned upward
to the toes, the whole bearing strong re-
scmblance to the human form. These
roots are now deposited in the museum
Of Brown University 1t was thus found
that the organic matter-the flesh, the
bones of Roger WilIiams-- had passed
into an apple tree, transmitted into woody
fibre, bloomed into fragrant blossoms,
and borne luscious fruit, which from year
to year had been gathered and eaten.
Those, therefore, who ate the apples from
this tree ate Roger Williams Columbia
