The pilots and harbor master have been holding
a consultation regarding certain low tides which
were noticeable lately, and after mature delibera
ton Captain Mac advanced as his opinion that
the moon had nothing TO do with the low tides
noticed, but, if the RsrsTr and HeTHaHa were only
hauled up somewhere out Of the way, where their
pumps could not be continually sucking water ont
az the hArbor, why, he thought there would most
probably be,a fuller course of tides. This opinion
was conquered in by those present and the meeting
adjourned.

custom among the Indians known as their
burning. To observe this ancient Gus
tom, which they regarded with super
stitious sancity, about fifty dusky sons
and daughters gathered on Saturday, pre-
pared their. soup, and gathered their
wood, and made all arrangements for the
burning, which took place about IL
o'clock Saturday. This place, Bloomer
hill, has been fo- years the Indian bury
ing ground, and it is estimated that
thousands have been buried there. At
sunset on Saturday thew sprinkled the
graves with -four and yelled as none but
an Indian can, until exhausted. The
next evening, after being refreshed
with grasshopper, angle.worm and
acorn soup, they manufactured their
devils. The materials used in
constructing his satanic majesty
were bones-any kind-and feathers pro-
miscuously gathered. He was about four
feet high, and looked as much like the
"devil before day" as can be imagined:
About dusk they built a large fire, and
kept it burning until midnight with
wood gathered for the purpose. Then
commenced the sacrifcial offerings,
which consisted of wearing apparel and
provisions, which they suppose will be
waited by something like presto
change" to their friends in the "happy
hunting grounds" After burning about
500 pounds of -four, several squaw-loads
of bacon, numerous red handkerchiefs,
breeches and shirts, they listened to
long, and of course eloquent, harangue
from q venerable "buck." They then
appointed a committee to escort their
improvised devil into the circle, where
he was given warm reception. He was
brought in reach of the fire, and amidst
the most terrific bowling unceremo-
niously precipitated into the flames.
This was the signal for the most I'M
earthly mingling of whoops, groars, fe-
male shrieks and general uproar, which
closed the barbaric scene.

Farmers Arbitrate, Don't Litigate.

The law favors arbitration as peace
able and inexpensive method of settling
difficulties. In many of the states there
are statutory provisions by which judg.
ment may be rendered on the award or
finding of arbitrators concerning mat
ter duly submitted to them. 1t is al.
most always possible to take o case out
of court and submit it to referees at any
