A Michigan Princess.

Near the church, in small house fac
ing Little Traverse bay, lives the famous
chiefs daughter, Margaret Boyd, or, in
the Indian dialect-Oyabegijigokene.
Her cottage is described as being bare
except for curiously woven mats of
rushes; swaying bed hangs by ropes
from the raftcrs, and i'll it is the baby of
her adopted daughter fast asleep. On
the walls are ornaments of birch bark
and wampum, a crucitix and beads, pic
lures Of saints and the Holy Father, on
the table are split porcupine quilts,
sweet-scented rushes, grass, birch-bark
and various other things which Margaret
rapidly braids into baskets and orna-
ments. She is GO years old, wears Il
plain black skirt and blouse waist, a
turban of soft cashmere on her head,
and her gray hair hangs in plaits down
her back. Her feet are very small and
she wears them neatly clothed III buck
skin moccasins. She was educated by
the Sisters of Charity in Cincinnati and
was with them four years. When but
16 years of age she was acting AZ supe-
rior of the Detroit Orphan asylum.
She was considered as prodigy by her
teachers and that the Great Spirit had
her under his especial care. She soon
returned to her tribe and has always
welded great influence over them.
Reading, studying, yet never mingling
in society, for which her requirements
and education fit her, but remaining in
company with ignorant, superstitious
Indians, she is interesting, self-possessed,
and while retaining the simple customs
and life of the red man, adds the educa-
ton of lady of rank. The line of sue
cession runs out in this Indian princess,
for she is the last of large family of
children. Margaret has adopted and
reared Il number of her people-tried to
teach them, but she says they do not
take kindly to learning, nor will they
try to read or write.

With pair of tongs he was throwing
pieces of human flesh into the flames.
The police were informed, and, breaking
into the room, found that the child's

of it consumed. In prison the man

A Fortune for Twenty-Five Cents.


All the worn out and mutilated legal

demption. After new notes are issued
in their stead, the old notes are destroy
oil by tho process Of maceration. This
process includes the introduction of
chemicals in the mass of notes, which by
the aid of steam are reduced to pulp
very much smaller in volume than the
original notes. This pulp is of a gray
whitish color; it has heretofore been
thrown away. An enterprising young
man has had an idea on this subject,
however, and is working it out. He has
taken the pulp and is modelling it into
different shapes. When dried the pulp
assumes light consistent form. Dogs,
cats, bells, and MI animals and every
thing else almost are reproduced. Out
of the destruction of 81 900, 900 in notes,
he modelled bullfrog Of heroic size;
$40, 900 goes to make u mouse; 800, 900
