A Cleveland Leader reporter recently

great rife shot, ana had a long talk with
him OF matters connected with his early
life. He possesses q wonderful history
that is tnlt enough of material Tor the
framework of a good drama, without
going into the realms of imagination or
wandering from the paths Of truth. The
Indians title hun " Evil Spirit" on &C

rife. Never missing his object, they
could not understand how it was possible
for one to be so deadly in aim without
possessing ssoms supernatural power.
Carver's life has been one Of thrilling
adventures. Captured by the Indians
when only four years old, he never had
an equal among the savage tribes that

When Is years OF age, the tribe held a

position he occupied for six years, and
received in that way the title of doctor.

buffalo, elk and the abundance of wild
game that infest the frontier. He SAYS

n Useful Life.

Sixty-ive years ago, a boy OF sixteen
years, living in Albany, N. Y, who was
very fond Of novel reading, happened to
take up a book onRatural science belong
ing to one Of his mothers bosrders. He
became deeply interested in it. II
turned his mind in an entirely new field
of reading aud of study. The owner of
the book gave it TO him, and nearly a
quarter OF a century later, the boy, then
a famous man, wrote upon its fy-leaf
that that work caused him to resolve that
be would devote his life to the aequisi-
ton of knowledge.
This was Joseph Henry, the master
spirit among all Americans who have
made science their life pursuit; the sec

More about the State Authorship.

Captain Mahlon Black, the Democratic
candidate for the office of State Auditor
served his country for four solid years in
the army in the late war, as disabled
limb will testify, where he earned the title
he wears to-day-that of Captain. His
personal merits and high standing as a
citizen and gentleman have twice car
RED him into the office of county auditor
of Hennepin county, one of the strongest
Republican counties of the State, wi Ii
rousing majorities over Republican com.
petltors, and he stands to-day before the
people of the State of Minnesota-for
whose rights and whose interests with
those OF the nation, he lisked his life,
fought and bled on the battle ield-stands
With character unsullied, a record of
honor and integrity, and the unquestion-
able ability to fill honorably and well the
high Office to which he aspires asking
their confidence and support. But, saws
one, he is Democrat. Does that, we
should like to enquire, make him any the
less gentleman? Does that sweep into
oblivion his record of honor and intecritv9
Does that render null all our obligations
for his devoted services? Does that set
aside his superior ability'or disqualfy him
to fill the Office to which he has been
nominated? The proposition is incon-
sistent with the dictates of sound reason
and common sense. IT he was candi-
date for national office, if he was run
ming for an office in which his politics
could influence national issues or even
our state government, we should oppose
his election on principle, but he is not.
His duties in the Office of State Auditor
can only be clerical, and, to them, the
only prerequisite can be ability and integ-
rity. We ask, therefore does not Capt
Black, the old soldier, the honorable man,
merit our highest, our proudest consider
alton and support? Vote for him friends!
Vote for him, neighbors! Vote for him,
Republicans, everywhere, and thereby
place the seal of your dsapproval upon
the too common practice, in our party
conventions, of entirely disregarding the
wishes Of THE people and the dictates of
common honesty!--8rainerd Tribune.
