German Reichstag.
BERLIN, March 2S.-Bismarck' speech
in the ReiChstag, Yesterday, on the mo-
ton in favor OF an autonomous govern
ment for Alsace Lorraine, was re-
markable for its moderation. His
denial of the right of the province to be
represented in Bundcsrath referred to
its being represented on the same foot
ing as the other States, but he was will
ling to see it represented in modified
form. He had been asked why, if con-
scious. of flaws in the administration OF
the province, he had not sooner pro-
posed remedy, but he thought the
initiative should come from the
people themselves, and now that
they had spoken out he held
himself bound, i'll all conscience, to try
and meet their wishes.

The President has taken his position,

The Kentucky style, rs illustrated yes

A Myth of History.

Among the memorable massacres by the In
dams i'll the region of the Piscataqua river and
its various tributaries, during the French and
Indian war ending with the peace of Ryswick,
in 1857, is one related by Cotton Mather in his
famous book entitled "Magnalia Christi
Americana" and by no other writer of that
time. Mather says that small English ham
let at Fox Point in Dover, now Newington,
was destroyed, the inhabitants slain and made
captive by a party of Indians under that
memorable tygre Hope-Hood," as he express
lively styles kim, in May, 1890. This story has
circulated as veritable occurrence in all our
histories for nearly two centuries, on the sole
authority of Mather. But its falsity has appar-
emily been discovered through historical re-
search, and henceforth it goes along with the
myths of that age. AT late meeting of the
Massachusetts, Historical Society held in Bos-
ton Hon. Charles w. Tuttle read paper on
the Massacre at Fox Point in New Hamp-
shire" showing very clearly that no such trag-
edy as Mather relates ever occurred there.
Mr.. Tuttle finds that Mather accepted rumor
of such massacre for fact, put it into his
Nj agnalia, and so misled his readers and later
historians. A good deal of the history of that
period needs the same critical treatment Be-
levers i'll omens and witchcraft were not fit
ch roniclers of events in that unsteady period
of our early history. 1t is likewise true that
many of the events cf the last twenty years
will need very radical readjustment by coming
ch roniclers before they will deserve place in
history The inevitable passion, prejudice,
partisanShip and credulity of men make them
as a rule, very unreliable historians of the
great events of their own times and their
lessons.

and hundreds of barrels flowing down Hiner's
run, never to see a market.
