ITO BE Continued



We were yesterday shown by Captain
Thomas 2. Leathers, a reminiscence of
the past, in the shape of a powder-horn
which was taken from the body of the
celebrated Indian chief, Tecumseh, by
the father of Captain Leathers, after he
was killed. The recollection of Captain
Leathers' father was, that when the dead
body of Tecumseh was found, it was
pierced with about dozen bullet wounds,
several of which would have certainly
proved fatal. The question of "Who
killed Tecumsehp' is one therefore which
can never be settled.
The powder horn taken from his per-
son bore evidence of considerable ingenu-
ity on the part of the person who made
it, and would in these practical days have
entitled its maker to a patent. The
mouthpiece of the horn was so arranged
as to screw on and off, and when taken
off could be used as funnel by which
the horn could be conveniently filled
with powder. In connection with this
ingenious contrivance, Capt. Leathers
mentioned the fact that breech- loading
guns were used in that Indian war. This
is true, and the origin of the breech-load-
er is probably due to the suggestions of
Gen. Andrew Jackson, who desired their
construction for the purpose of giving
the frontier Indian-fghter an opportunity
of loading his gun while lying behind
the logs of the forest. without exposing
his person to the ever-watchful savage
foe. Some of our older citizens will re-
member these breech-loading guns, which
were called the Hall rifle. We remember
some Of these Hall guns which were un-
earthed from some quarter at the begin
ming of the war Of secession, but in the
face of the great improvements which
had then begun to be made in weapons Of
warfare, they were soon laid aside as far
behind the time.

Eli Perkins announces in the Chicago
Tribune the engagement of Miss Lille
Aver, the dead pill-man's daughter, to
the Prince Philippe Louis Marie de
Bourbon, son of the Count d'Aquaila and
and grandson of Dom Pedro of Brazil
She is a very lovely young lady of
twenty, and the Prince is thirty-five He
is poor-she very rich, having now in her
own name and possession the moderate
little fortune of $5,0O0,OOO. She has had
many American and foreign lovers. Cap
tain Pierson, of the United States Navy,
who was knighted by Queen Victoria,
paid steady court to her for a year; and
then Joaquin Miller fell in love with her
with all the ardor of a passionate poet.
1t was to her that Joaquin dedicated the
passionate love refrain entitled princess

have entreated to portray a perfect face.
She had no beauty of the devil, where.
with to braze the pen of a certain order
OF modern novelists, but she was lovely
simply, wholly, entirely.
When you looked at her you could
wish nothing more, you could suggest
nothing less You never paused to think
whether her features were regular, her
hair the rarest shade of brown, her figure
OF the best proportions; but when you
saw her smile, heard her voice, felt the
warm clasp of her hand, you know it was
just fair, honest, pure Susan Arkley, and
thought her, with Miss LIE Deene, most
lovely and perfect creature.
As her visitor drew near, she was
standing under a great beech-tree that
grew in front of the cottage, with her
year-old baby in her arms-a fair pic
ture.
How tall? you ask. Well, that was
one of the questions no one who ever saw
her thought of asking; but she scarcely
reached the middle height; a slight,
graceful creature, hair of the warmest
shade of brown, red, almost, when she
was a toddliag little mite, but which had
mellowed into the brightest, sunniest,
richest brown Imaginable.
There was little wave in it too, such
as is to be found often in such hair, and
it was drawn back from her forehead and
rippled in soft curves above her ears, and
was drawn together behind in knot.
Hers was the clear, creamy skin which
accompanies such hair, and she had the
tender, hazel eyes, shaded by long, black
lashes, sometimes wanting in that con-
junction.
Sweetest eyes, innocent as child's,
and yet earneast with all woman's
depth Of tenderness; eyes that could an
swer to another's mood, smile back smiles,
melt into pity, weep tears of sympathy,
look steadfastly out ON life; eyes man
might we'll love to see in the face of his
wife, his daughter, or his mother; and
that if once you had beheld them shining
you at with the glamor of love or friend
ship you would forget never again till all
love and all friendship were forgotten
too.
For the rest, what was there? A calm
white brow; cheeks never brilliant with
color, save when emotion tinted or ex-
citement flushed them. If you had taken
the delicate leaf of blush rose and laid
it against her cheek, the color family
mantling there would scarcely have out
We'd it. Her nose was small and
straight, but belonged to no recognized
order; and her mouth was frank, sweet,
gracious.
If there were frmness about the lower
part of her face which spoke of strength
her eyes seemed to belle, it was softened
down by the tenderness of her express
sion, shaded off by the lovely curl of her
lips, and the sweet dimpleslying in trans
parent hiding for the first smile to dis
cover and reveal.
A girl, almost, in appearance, and yet
woman who had left her teens behind
her one summer birthday some six years
agone.

The London Times thus defines Nihil-
ism: "Nihilism consists of profound,
many-formed discomfort with the present
order of things in Russia. The young
student who reads one of the numerous
Russian translations Of Buckle, or has
imbibed from Schopenhauer or Hart
mann gloomy views Of life; the intelli-
gent young lady who is anxious that
her sex should be emancipated, and puts
aside most feminine ways in manners
and dress as prejudices and obstacles in
the path of progress; the votary of some
form of materialism; the conspirator
who hates the Gar, puts no trust in
reforms made by the court, prints in
London or Zurich fiery pamphlets full of
scandal and sedition, and believes in no
missionary but the revolver-all these
various types are alike described as Nj
hilista"

one was caught off Federal Point few
weeks ago that measured about fourteen
feet in length; and that embraced in the
contents of his capacious stomach tin
bucket, glass bottle and a number of
other articles Of totally indigestible ma

Star Mambrino 226l5 and very many others: Sd
dam mare sent from Ohio to Kentucky to be
| bred to Mambrino Chief and represented to be a
Bellfounder. Before passing to a description of
Don Cossack, we may be pardoned for calling at
| uOn To the prominent lines CT his breeding.
| Through August Belmont, his sire, he receives
the best OF the Abdallsh lines, and an excellent
| Clay cross through the famous Long Island
Black Hawk, as well as n dash Of Morgan
through Hale's Green Mountain Morgan a horse
that impaired as much vitality nervous force
and lcvity, as any horse known between the lids
of the stud book. Through his dam comes an-
other Abdallah current of most superior quality
being through AcXauders Abdallah-the sire of
the ever to be remembered Godsmith's Maid Of
I2:l4 notoriety; mare that endured more racing
than any horse that ever lived. But that which
suits us as well rs anything in the blood of Don
old horse, Mambrino Chief.
But the breeding is not all of this horse hap
PLY he has the form rs well. He is really a colt
of majestic proportions. Sixteen and a half
hands high, he kicks the beam at 1892 pounds
His motion is superb. His color is perfect. Not
a white hair, save few sprinkled about the in
side of either heel behind, bespatters his silken
coat of deep, rich mahogany bay. His temper,
also, has been carefully looked to and has not
been spoiled. The universal verdict is, he is the
finest colt that ever came out Of the blue grass
country. He can trot, too. As 2year old he
made a full mile in 247 and repeated in 2,45; at
the fall meeting in Louisville, he won the 2-year-
old stakes, making the first mile in 2:42, and the
last half of the third mile in 1:l7. He has not
been pushed on account of his size, but he has
proven his ability to do turf daty.
He was taken to Chicago, where he is the ad-
miration of all beholders he will be sent to Judge
Cations stock farm near Joliet.

SENEGAL grand temperance affair was
had at Seneca on Saturday last The Morris
Independent tells the story thusly:
About one hundred and twenty-five boarded
the canal boat Contest, Saturday, and made
the trip to Seneca, where the Cold Water Soci-
ETY. OF Morris was right royalty entertained by
the Senecaltes. The Seneca brass band and
two or three hundred persons met the visitors
from Morris at the bridge in Seneca, and did
all they possibly could do to make the little
strangers Vt home and comfortable Mr.. Nor
risey, president of the Seneca club welcomed
the party in neat speech, which was respond
ed TO by Mr.. Rulings, president of the Morris
club, and who was followed by Prof Regain.
The exercises at the church were highly inter
esting, and the lunch, provided by the good
people from down below, was greatly relished
by all who partook of it. The homeward trip
was enjoyed by all-save probably two-the
gentleman who, while attempting to climb
over bench fell into the raging deep and
lady who came home minus her pocketbook.
