A Rlackfnnt Belle.

THE Toronto GLoJeS correspondent
out west with Lord Lorne gives this de-
scription of the costume Of Blackfoot
belle: the upper portion of her face,
including forehead, eyes. and checks,
was painted in bright chrome yellow,
the lower portion Of her face was
scarlet, she wore a scarlet blanket
thrown loosely over her shoulder. and
under this was a long loose blouse
made out of a dark navy blue blan-
ket and trimmed with ppings Of
scarlet and white. This blouse was
fastened at the waist with a leather
belt fully eight inches broad and lit
orally covered with large bosses Of
polished brass. On her neck was q
string of brass beads as large as cher
ries. One of her bracelets consisted of
q coil of heavy brass wire that would
weigh not less than pound and half,
while the other, which was OF nearly
the same weight, was made of largo
brass beads; several of her fingers were
nearly covered with coils of brass wire
and beads

A queer newspaper enterprise has
Just been started in Berlin under the
name of the daily RundSchaH 1t is
called "a journal for non-politicians,
and, at the same time, supplementary
to the political organs of every party"
1t is edited by the poet, Frederick Bo-
denstedt and the corps of contribu-
tors announced includes many of the
most famous writer's of Germany. The
idea upon which the RundSchau is
founded is that political matters, even
in uneventful times, monopolize too
much space in the newspapers. There
fore it is proposed, in the rule, to limit
the politics OF the day to comparative
ly small part of the space, to keep
apart from political controversy, and
leave religious questions untouched.
On the extention of the New England
road from Brewster's TO the Hudson
there is one of those peat-beds like one
which, near Wallingford, has caused
the consolidated road so much trouble.
This one, west of Brewster's, required
over six hundred carloads of earth 10
fill it before foundation could be had
for the abutments of bridge across
the shallow pond. For this structure
piles one upon another have been driv-
en- 10 feet into the peat, and the long
est goes down ia feet below the sur
face A 3,000p pound weight has been
used in driving them, and, at the last
fall of this immense hammer, a fall of
twenty or thirty feet, would drive the
piles only bali an inch, so great was
the friction on the sides of the piles.
AS it was, bottom was not reached after
all; the friction on the piles sustains
them. Some seventy or eighty thous-
and cubic yards of earth have been
dumped into this pit.

The origin Of the word Yankee is now
difficul: to trace The old spelling was
Yanke. Some have said that il was coined
in Europe and used to designate all person:
in the American colonies. Others have ar
gued that il could be traced to the Indian.
in their attempts to pronounce English, and
called them Yanghecs. The learned DR.
Thatcher declares il was first used by on,
Johnathan Hastings, farmer of Cambridge
Mass, as can't word TO express excellence
as a Yankee good house. OF Yankee good ci
der just as the people of Louisiana, wher
recommending any article for sale at New
Orleans, declare il is real Creole butter. ol
Creole eggs At any rate, the word Yankee
has become a famous word and while our
Southern brethren point indiscriminately "a
all Northerners as Yankees, nevertheless the
genuine Yankee will continue 10 be found
down East" where he was first discovered
When he is found in any other quarter OF
the country he may be recognized, but he is

have arisen among Is TO deceive the peo-

1t was prophesied by the wise men that the

tors Office and the forked lightning would
leap from the clouds and distroy it, tear it

and gone and 10. it still stands, unscatched

rible execution, could be seen upon its pla-

small speck was seen in the east which
gradually grew larger and larger until it as
sumed dimensions about the size of mans

with considerable anxiety and fear as it
drew nearer and nearer, but, when it was
finally discovered that it was only the Gen
eral of the half-breeds with his first Leuten-

PEELED and the prognosticators were de-
nounced as fools, knaves and deceivers of
