We hear couple of fresh things from
Tustenuggee, the chief of the few semin-
oles remaining in the everglades of Flor
ida. The old fellow emerges IRON the
swamps, it is said, once every year or 80,
gets on q colossal drunk and retires to
his Businesses. The other day he came
into civilization, bringing with him a
particularly weak-looking negro-one of
several slaves still owned by the Indians.
He was told that all the slaves had been
freed. He replied: "Injun's nigger amt
free, "and after getting comfortably drunk
he melted into the swamps, carrying his
negro with him, A few months ago a
sewing ng-machine man entered Tustenug-
gees domains and sold him machine.
The old chief watched its workings care
fully, and when he was satisfied as to
what it would do deliberately arose and
kicked his wife out of the door. 6 Need

AN INGENIOUS CHINAMAN.

Sim Changlo, a Chinese laundryman
IN ST. Louis, is something of a genius
lie possesses a knowledge of painting
clock-making, engineering, engraving
fancy sewing, and is well up in the arts
and sciences, including chemistry and
other branches of learning. At present
Changle is engaged in completing what
he is pleased to term "The Worlds
Fair" This curiosity consists of min.
ute Chinese house containing towers and
verandas, and possessing other features
peculiar to Mongolian architecture. The
structure rests on table. 1t is about
four feet high anu five feet long, and its
rooms ore all open ON one side, in order
that the spectator may see what is tax
ing place within. Directly in front of
the house is yard in which two China
men are represented as playing Mon
golian game, and two others in the act of
building brick wall. On the steps two
ladies are standing face to face, in the
act of saluting each other Three Chinese
ladies sit on the veranda engaged in
close conversation, while two men on the
veranda directly over their heads are
leaning forward, and endeavoring to over
hear what they are saying. About the
building butterflies, that look as natural
as life, are seen with wings eutstretched
in the act of flying. This is what the
observer finds on the exterior of the
building, but he becomes more deeply in
terested when he inspects the contents
OF the apartments within. In one apart
ment he sees an army of soldiers mounted
on horses, in another solemn procession
of priests, and in another lot of wild
animals, etc. When the clockwork that
operates this vast establishment is wound
up and started, the effect produced is
decidedly striking. The butterflies
tremble on invisible wires, and ap-
pear to be flying about in the air; the
men at brick wall work vigorously, the
characters in front of the main entrance
bow gracefully, with their hands clasped
before them, Chinese fashion; the sol
diers move around briskly, the animals
run swiftly, and the women on the ver-
anda over the main entrance vociferate
wildly. In fact, everything connected
with the establishment is natural and
life-hke.
GLOW long did it take you, Mr..
Changlo, to make that concern
"Oh, it took me not longer than a
month. work very fast and can make
such things very quick. The house, you
see, is composed of wood. All the trim
mings are of silk. These pictures you
see on the table-cloth there" he said,
pointing to a table-cloth covering the
legs of the table, 81 painted. They are
oil paintings. One represents Chinese
castle. The other two are landscape re-
presentations of mountains. There are
in the building and yard in front of it
just one hundred and fifty figures, which
move when the house is wound up

The Siminole Indians have singular
tradition regarding the white mans ori-
gin and superiority. They say when the
Great Spirit made the earth he also cre-
ated three men, all of whom were fair
complexioned. He then led them to a
small lake and bade them jump in. One
Immediately obeyed the command and
came out purer and fairer than before;
the second hesitated awhile, by which
time the water became muddled, and
when he came up, he was copper-colored;
the third did not leap in until the water
became black with mud and he came out
with his own color. After this the Great
Spirit laid before them three sealed
packages, and gave the black man his
first choice, so that he might have a
chance to amend his former misfortune.
He closely examined each package, and,
having felt their weight, chose the heavi.
est in preference to the rest, believing it
to be the best most valuable. The cop
per-colored man chose the next heaviest,
leaving the white man the lightest.
When the packages were opened, the
first contained spades, hoes and other
implements Of labor, and the second un.
folded fshing.tackle, and hunting and
warlke weapons; the third gave the
white man pens, ink and paper-the
means of mental improvement, the social
ink of humanity, the foundation of the
white mans superiority.

A story aLlut which .aero is :. fascina.
ton which it is impossible to resist when
YOU hear men tell it, is that of tho
Home of the Gold" Somewhere in
Southwestern New Mexico, in the Sierra
Nadre, it is said that there is a wonder
full valley. Small, enclosed by high,
rocky walls, and accessible only through
secret passage, which is known to but
few, is this extraordinary place. 1t is
about ten acres in extent, has running
through it stream which waters it
thoroughly and makes it perfect par
adise, with its exquisite flowers, and
beautiful trees. In it are thousands of
birds of the most brilliant plumage.
Running across it is ledge of pure gold,
bout thirty feet wide, which glistens in
the sunlight like a great golden belt.
The stream crosses this ledge, and as it
runs, murmurs around blocks of yellow
metal az other streams do among the
pebbles.
This ledge of gold is supposed to be
solid gold and to run down into the cen.
ter of the earth. The legend is of In
dian origin, and around it cluster a num-
ber of Indian stories in which the name
of the ill-fated Montezuma occurs fire.
quently. The descendants of the Aztecs
believe firmly that the day will come
when Montezuma will return and free
them from the domination of the de-
scendants of the Conquistodores. They
believe that the money necessary for
this work will be taken from the Madre
de Orc. The secret of the entrance into
the valley is supposed to be care.
fully guarded by tribe OF indians living
near it, and among them it is only com.
municated to the Oldest men amid the
solemn ceremonies of the medicine lodge.
Having such history to work upon,
there is little wonder that the vivid int
agination of the Mexicans should have
built upon it tales of men who have
found this wonderful place.
One is that of certain Jose Alvarez,
who, wandering through the mountains
in search of game, saw the valley from
the top of one of the walls. Finding
that he could not hope to enter it by
climbing down, he took his abode with
the Indians who guard the canyon lead
ing into it. The daughter of the chief
fell in love with him, and betrayed the
secret to him. Exactly how she found it
out they do not tell. Having been shown
the entrance, Jose went in, and would
possibly have got away with some of the
gold had he not weighed himself down
to such an extent that he could not get
up the dsclivity at the lower end of the
passage. He was discovered, and the In
dians sacrificed him on the golden ledge,
with all the terrible ceremonies of the
old Aztec religion. The girl in despair
at losing him, threw herself from the
high walls into the valley below. Hun.
dreds of prospectors have spent months
of toll trying to find the Marde de Ore,
but it is scarcely necessary to say, with
no result.
