The battle of the Thames, in which the
noble chief Tecumsch was killed, was
fought October 5; 1873 l remember dis
tinctly, though lad of but seven years of
age, to have heard William McCown, one
of General Harrison's picked rhemen speak
of having seen Tecumseh dead on the field
of battle. The circumstance that made u
very deep impression on my mind was u
most barbarous act which he saw several
soldiers infict on the dead body of the
chief. They cut off strips of his skin for
razor-straps. William McCown expressed
indignation at this barbarity of his fellow
soldiers. | have heard conflicting reports
on this subject. My brother had fought
in the battle of Tippecanoe against the
Prophet, Tecumsch's brother, and was
familiar with the events of both battles,
and spoke of what he had seen. In talk

Reports Of death by lightning during the
recent heavy storms are rapidly coming in,
and it will be interesting to our readers to
know that after all there is not much in the
old saying, when n man is very unlikely to
have any particular thing happen to him,
that his chances of meeting it are about as
good as his chance of being struck by light
ming, According to the last published
census of the United States THAT of 1S70),
lightning alone disposed of more of our fell
low citizens in that year than came TO their
death through yellow fever, govt, scurvy,
hydrophobia-of which there is now so
much dread-chorea, cancer of the mouth,
calculus, Addison's disease, carbunclc,
lcad-poisOning, or suicide by cutting the
throat. or by drowning nearly rs many as
were killed by explosions, and about one
fourth Us many rs died of the so-called
American disease, dyspepsia. The Stats
tics are as follows: Death by lightning,
POP; by yellow fever, 177 by govt, 43; by
scurvy, 50 by hydrophobia, 3d. by chorca
rs by cancer of the mouth, 165; by cal
culus, 100 by Addison's disease, II; by car.
buncle, 1863; by poisoning, 81; by
dyspepsia, Sal; by explosions, 200; by
suicide by cutting the throat, 1873; and by
suicide by drowning, 119. Large, however
as is the number of deaths by lightning
stroke in the aggregate, yet only one person
out of 246,722 comes to his death in this
way. The "lightning-rod man, who doe:
most of his business in rural sections anG
who is the standing butt of country jour
nails, may be a nuisance, yet he evidently IL
not without his reason of being when tho
number of lives and the amount ofproperty
destroyed every year by the fluid (which
by the way is not a fluid at all-is taker

Coal Miners Trying 10 Get Up
Strike.

A dispatch from Cumberland, dated July
IA, says Some weeks since the miners in
Davis Bros Virginia mines, near Bloom
ington, struck because their wages were re-
duced from sixty-ive to fifty cents ton.
Recently, however, about forty of them
went to work at the reduced rates.
Wednesday about one hundred miners, from
Franklin, Phoenix, and Hampshire mines,
went to Bloomington, with brass band, and
cndeavored to persuade the men to stop
work. They played around the mine some
time, and conferred with the men at work
by committee, but the latter refused to
yield and kept on working, it is under
stood, at the old rates. The deputy sheriff
and States attorney of Mineral County,
West Virginia, were present, and warned
the visitors not to use violence, but there
was no attempt at violence, and, so far as
known, no threats, the party having been
an orderly one. Sixty-five cents is the rul-
ing rate paid for digging coal in this re-

A Basket of Lilies
Sent to Miss Lille +. ii. on her gradua.
ton day by a former teacher.
Let those who know thee not send flowers
OF dainty forms and colors bright;
The queenly rose, with fragrant breath,
The pink, with ruddy eye OF light;
The panzy, with Its impish face;
The ox-eye daisy, like II star;
The lowly violet of blue,
And blossoms rare from near ana far.
But who know the inward grace
And sanity pureness of thy heart,
The softness dignified by strength,
That all their triune charms impurt,
Send only lilies, purely white,
The emblem OF thy name ana thee,
The grandest plant ana softest flower,
Ofall that sprinkle void or lea.
The calla lily, Casters flower,
r., Cleans white above the green, IKE love
To point mans weary soul above.
Thus on Gods holy Sabbath day,
The little ones have found In thee
An Easter teacher all the year
To point whore heavens still waters be.
The lily.ofthe.valley bends
But breathes in fragrance all its SOUL
A ladder up, where stars are hung.
Thus all unconscious, half thy sweet
Escapes to heaven, too rare for earth,
And, like prayer, leads thee aloft
Toholy life and newer birth.
The royal lily, queen of all,
A star, II chalice and u flower,
Holds sweets within its pearly heart
For those who seek II princely dover.
Its six bright petals point to heaven,
Its silver cup holds food for earth
Like thee, sweet Lille, with thy faith,
Thy gentle love and kindly mirth.
Let lilies glad thee then to-day,
And lilies-ot-the-valley twinc
A wreath, instead of orange blooms,
When bridal robes upon thee shine.
I'd have them crown thy confined face,
OF heavens stars Sign to be.
| Except for this-Oh lack of faith
Ineer could think of death and thee.

A Lesson on Icebergs.
Indianapolis Journal.


Let us talk about the iceberg.
q. Is the iceberg cooling thing? A.
o yes, tho iceberg is maiestically cool.
q. Why majestically cool? A. Because
it towers skyward in massive and colossal
frigidity Some old Morse bard has said of
it: at is the giant jewel of the Polar
seas. 1t swashcs round the margin of the
watery world, its multitudinous facets
casting back the white smile of the tranccd
sun and the red bushes of the northern
lights. It's lofty pinnacles clutch Mt the
clouds by day by night its glittering min
arcts and icy spire prick at the very stars
those golden pimplcs of the skies.
@. Why called iceberg? A. Because the
mighty fabric is, as rule, composed entirely
of ice. though occasionally Arctic explorers
have been used in its construction. II is
matter Of regret, h0 ycver, that such in
stances are rare. nt
q. Where is the iceberg to be found. A.
The iceberg is not an easy thing to find,
even where they most abound. Captain
Franklin, once searching for them, Ii is said,
found many of them, and, too, of a very
cool variety; but he brought none back.
This was in the far North-so extreme q
part, in fact, the points of his compass were
too numb to register the latitude.
O. Is not the iceberg subject to the effects
OF ncatI a. III ls-Wnerc neat is TO be had
but 1t has been observed that even then il
grows larger us it mclts. Scientists have adj
vanced the theory that If the butt.end OF
the iceberg floatcd upward, and the July
quality of our own home weather could be
turned upon it, the melting of the iceberg
would be no longer the vain speculation OF
mere Missionaries.
@. To what usc--if any-could the ice.
berg be put, were they to be had in our
markets? A. Oh, the iceberg could be used
in many ways.
@. Name few of them. A. The taller
species of the iceberg could be leaned up
in our thoroughfares, against, the dome;
and spires of our public buildings, that the
pedestrian might occasionally climb up and
slide down them. Again, they might be
good thing to crawl around and sleep OF
the shady side Of and pat and fondle in oui
dreams. And, too the iceberg would b,
nice to knock in little slivers, and chop VI
in fcathery flakes and pack around oul
beds, and stuff our pillows with, and put in
the iced tea we get at the hotels. And I
small iceberg, with good strong castors loi
it and trunk handles, would be lovely t,
just roll round with us every place W,
cared to go.
@. And is that all you can say of the ice
berg? A. Yes all we can now say. Turf
on the hose.

Mexican Land TITLES.

Correspondence Cleveland Leader.
There is a Mexican law, passed July 20,
1868, and never rescinded, prohibiting citi-
zcns, native or naturalizcd, of the nations
bordering on the republic from ever acquir-
ing by any title whatever vacant or public
lands in any of the border States of Sonora,
Chihuahua, New Leon, Coahuila, Tamauli-
pas or Lower California. The letter Of this
law, a writer says, applies only to vacant or
public lands, and not to farms or property;
but its declared purpose being to protect
the frontier from schemes of annexation or
conquest, and its plain intont being to pre-
vent American settlement in the border
States, the legality of any transfers what
ever of real estate to Americans isquestion-
able, being in the nature of a transaction
contrary to the declared public policy and
could we exchange places with Mexico our
courts would probably so regard such trans
