An Aquatic Velocfpede.


Andy Tangen, of Painted Woods, near
Bismarck, Dakota, has Invented ian in
genious and convenient arrangement of
machinery in the language Of the scien-
tifc American, "for propeNing vessel by
foot power" The hull of the boat is of
the usual construction, having a long and
tapering propeller screw whose shaft ex-
tends forward and receives it's motion from
a transverse shaft placed amidships and
having foot cranks arranged Numerically
opposite In front of the shaft there is q
frame which supports both the steering
apparatus and the seat of the operator.
The propeller shaft is made in sections
that it may be heightened or shortened,
and the propelling and steering ma
chinery is fixed to q single frame that
may be moved backward or forward as
the loading of the boat may require. The
tiller ropes extend along the gunwale
through suitable guides and are attached
to the tiller. The rudder is partly sup
ported by the screw shaft. This is said to
be the only screw that will work to adj
vantage against a strong current The
screw is small, about half the ordinary
size, and its velocity is thereby increased.
Its inventor claims that it will make rail
road speed in still water. The inventor OF
this whip saw arrangement, for moving
the screw of a vessel, resides near Bis
marck and has associated with him John
Sutherland and Lewis johnson under the
firm name Of Tangen, Satter!and q Co.
for it's manufacture. f@i

Shot i'm elfDefense.

Lieut.. Chance came ia Nv Wecnesday with
a soldier named Clifford who was shot in
the camp of Co. G, on Badger Creek, 40
miles west of Mandan, on the line 1 of the

day several whisky tents1were pitched in
the neighborhood of the camp. Clifford
got an opportunity while he was on
guard to sling in few drinks of whisky.
Corporal Duffy, of G Company, un-
dertook to disarm the intoxicated
guard, when the latter grew hostile,
placed a cartridge in his gun and attempt
ed to shoot the corporal, but the corporal
discharged his piece first, the ball graz
ing Clifford's right wrist and neck,
lodged in and shattered his left shoulder,
making very. serious wound. There IS
danger of it proving fatal.

PETER BANNIGAN.
Acquitted in Second Trial--Once
Sentenced to be Hung, Now Free.

Acquitted in Second Trial--Once
Sentenced to be Hung, Now Free,
Nearly three years ago there occurred
an affray on 4th st., Bismarck, which re-
suited in the death of Private Masslngale,
of the Seventeenth Infantry, shot by Peter
Bannigan, then keeping a,saloon in Bis
marck. The fact that Massingale was
drunk and went TO Bannigan's place to
raise row, and that be. ! kicked and in
suited Mrs. Bannigan Was not considered
at the time of the first trial because there
was a determination on the part of almost
everybody to stop the hell that was in
those days being raised occasionally on
4th St. So Bannigan was tried, convict
ed and sentenced to be hung on the Goth
of April, 1877. He escaped, wandered
over the pralries, sleeping in the snow
and chased like rabid dog until hunger
and continued exposure forced him into
the settlements when he was re-captured
and returned to jail. "A new trial was
granted and he was released on bail.
Time wore on and the evidence which
WttS dG ulSG JlCSCutCO CltICA PdooCu away
or became so modified that on the second
trial the jury, after a few hours delibera-
tion, brought in. a verdict of not guilty.
There were two happy men in Bismarck
that night, Bannigan, who for months
contemplated the halter which almost rest
ed on his shoulders, and Geo. P. Flannery,
his faithful attorney. On his first trial
Bannigan procured at a fearful expense
the best counsel to be had in St. Paul, and
was sentenced to be hung. On his second
trial MIR. Flannery was alone on the de-
fense and pushed the case in his straight
forward, earnest manner with the result
noted. The court was presided over by
Hon. J. P. Kidder, one of the associate
justices, in place of Judge Barnes, who
did not care to try the case again, and the
following named persons formed the jury.
The second trial lasted but a day and the
jury considered the case about four hours.
Jurors: II. P. Bogue, 8. G. sharpless,
John Murray, L. M. Hartman, b. B. Cliff,
VIM. Thompson, Thos. .Decke1t, Ed Bost-
wick, Clum Emmons, John Bowen, Louis

Intn the Big Muddy.

Wednesday morning Martin Kelly, who
runs the water works at the river, was
tossed forty feet into the river. The frame
work being interviewed by a rapid rise
gave way, and fell with the bank into the
river. Kelly found himself tloundering
in the river with the wood work in easy
reach. On to the floating timbers he
climbed and sailed down the river two or
three miles before he could effect land
ing. He was wet but not hurt, thanks to
the substantial character of the scatord-
ing on which he was at work.

A LOST RACE.

Lieut. A. W. Vogeles contributes some
notes on a lost race of this continent, to the
NqMrditst, basing his remarks on the dis
coveries make in the mounds of Tampa,
Fla. Excavation Of the Fort Brooke mound
revealed the position of the original fire.
places, and large proportion Of the animal
remains consisted of human bones, the
larger of which are charred and split. The
human bones were intermixed with the
bones of the dog and the deer, with burned
oyster-shells and portions of the shells Of
the common edible sea-crab. The race was
undoubtedly cannibal one, and the ex-
plorers had evidently come on the debris
of the kitchen. The pottery and imple-
ments found were of very primitive kind,
and indicated only low stage of oiyilza-
ton. From what has been cleaned re-
specting this lost race, the author infers
that the habits ceremonies, and manner OF
interment were parallel with those of the
ancient Danes, who constructed artificial
mounds for the sepulchre of their Kings,
and that the cannibalistic characteristics
are similar to those Of the Trogodytes of
the caverns of Mount Chauvatlx, in the
Province Of Namur, Belgium.

HEAD DowNwARD FOR TEN
HOURS.

One evening recently, says the Houston
(Texas) Telegram, q young man named
Adams started from Columbia to this city
on horseback. He thought it would be
more pleasant to ride on the railroad track,
and striking the track out of Columbia
spurred his horse into gallop. Adams
says that he thought his familiarity with
the track would keep him out Of danger,
but all at once the horse came to bridge
which was without flooring. Adams was
thrown over the horses head as the poor
animals legs went through. When he re-
covered consciousness he found himself
head down under the bridge one foot being
fast in the stirrup He was so bruised that
lie could not lift himself, and there he re-
manned in the greatest agony. There was a
whistle and a roar, and he knew that there
was q train coming As the wheels crashed
over the bridge he felt shock. The cow
catcher had thrown the horse off, but the
saddle was wedged in between the sills He
hung until sunrise and was then rescued,

DELICIOUS FLOWER.

The well-known fragrant garden favor
ite, the sweet-scented or lemon verbena,
seems to have other qualities to recommend
it than those Of fragrance, for which it is
usually cultivated. The author of a recent
work, entitled ''Among the Spanish People, I"
describes it as being systematically gathered
in Spain, where it is regarded as q fine
stomachic and cordial. 1t is either used in
the form of cold decoction, sweetened,
Or five or six leaves are put into teacup
and hot tea poured upon them. The au-
thor says that the flavor of the tea thus pre-
pared sis simply delicious, and no one who
has drank his Pekoe with it will ever again
drink it without sprig of lemon verbena.' -
And he further states th9t if this is used one
need never suffer from hatulence, never
be nervous or old maidish, never have
cholera, diarrahoea or loss of .appe-
tite."

WOMEN IN CHINA.

The condition of women in China is most
pitiable; suffering privation, contempt, all
kinds of misery and degradation seize on
her in her cradle, and accompany her pitt
lessly to her tomb. Her very birth is COM
monty regarded as a humiliation and dis
grace to the family-an evident sign of the
malcdiction of Heaven. If she is not i'm
mediately suffocated, she is looked upon
and treated as a creature intrinsically des-
picable, and scarcely belonging to the hu-
man race This appears so incontestable q
fact that Pan-houpan, celebrated, though a
woman, among Chinese writers, endeavors
in her works to humiliate her own sex by
reminding them constantly of the inferior
rank they occupy in the creation. "When
son is born" she says, che sleeps on q
bed, he is clothed with silk, and plays with
pearls; every one attends to his princely
cries. But when girl is born she sleeps
upon the ground, is meanly wrapped up
in cloth, plays with tile, and is inca
pable of acting either virtuously or vicious
1y. She has nothing to think Of but pre-
pairing food, making wine, and not vexing
her parents" Even after marriage her
case is not improved According to ex-
pressons of an old Chinese writer, ''the
newly married wife should be but shadow
and an echo in the house" She has no
right to take her meals with her husband;
nay, nor even with her male children; her
duty is to serve them at table, to stand by
them in silence, help them to drink, and
Light their pipes. She must eat alone, and
after they have done, and in a corner; her
food is scanty and coarse, and she would
not dare to touch even what is left by her
own sons. 1t may be thought that this
does not well agree with the much talked
of principles of filial piety; but it must not
be forgotten that in China woman counts
for nothing; the law ignores her existence,
or notices her merely to load her with fet-
ters, to complete her servitude, and to con-
firm her legal ineapacity Polygamy is al
lowed and the heartrending jealously and
quarrels that thence ensue lead to numer-
Gus suicides.
