WoUNDING A MOTHERS HEART.-The
Shoshone Indians, whose territory lies
between Carlin and Salt Lake, resemble
our Piutes very closely in their general
characteristics, but they appear to be
sharper witted than the latter. During
a recent trip on the stage from Hamilton
to Ward q Chronicle man was entertained
by series of interesting anecdotes re-
lated by Johnny Condor. the driver.
Among the rest was story about twins.
Mrs. Mormon, lady residing in Steptoe
Valley near the town of Ward, recently
gave birth to fine pair of twins. The
Shoshone women-"seequaws they are
called in that section-were delighted
when they saw the babies, and scores
focked to the house to get sight of
them. One of the seequaws brought her
lord to the house one day and procured
his admission to the poppyshow. The
happy mother had been greatly pleased
TO see the excitement created among the
Indian women by the exhibition of her
babies, and she proudly scanned the
features of the old "buck" to note the
impression produced on him. He looked
at the youngsters a moment, but said
nothing. The happy mother was bound
to get his opinion, SO she said: "What
you think about them babies. Jim?"
"Hell!' responded the Indian-'all
Same coyote!" and he marched his see.

The Dayton journal prints letter
from New Bremen, Ohio, which says:
"Quite wonder has lately made it's ap-
pearance about eight miles north of New
Bremen, in the shape of fine boy with
but three eyes and one ear. The parents
are young married couple who came
here to reside from the eastern portion
OF Auglaise county, about ten months
ago, and have been married little more
than that period. The child is about
two weeks old. The parents were astound-
ed to find on the right side of the face
eye and ear in their proper natural posi-
another eye in its natural position,
and about an inch further around on
the left side of the head q third eye,
all perfect in form, but no ear where the
ear ought to be. the place for the left
ear being as perfectly smooth and solid
i. as any other part OF the head. The boy
is healthy. sound and bright as boy
can be. The eyes are perfect in sight
, and action. When the eye on the left
side of the face opens or shuts it's twin
does the same, both seeming to be con.
trolled and operated by one set Of
3 nerves.
