Hundreds of years sgo-perhaps

chiei, dispute arose in heffibe
as to who shoaid hecone chief, the
old chief having died without leav-
lug a son to succced him. Therc
we're two principal 1splrsnts for
the chieltaincy, aud each ot them
had s,rung following. Tue dis.

we're no enemies TO scalp, the land
being occupied By only one people.
Peace was never made between

one OF the leading warriers wasa'

the murder was discovered, also
the murtlerel's tracks In the snow
and drops OF blood which had fallen
from the dead chieftain's captured
head. Two hundred warriors
started in pursuit of the murderer.
They almost overlook hin, aud he
could hear them on bis track. He
was almost tired ont, .anA the dead

The Original Legend Of the Mys-
te4soe Music In Paseagoula
Bay.

Editor Democrat Star.
In the summer Of lsis, DR.. Gilmett, Of
North Carolina, then a mere yauth, visited
the Gulf coast. During his visit, he
hesrd, what is known Us the mysterious
music, theu very frequently heard.
Becoming interested il Il he made 'n-
quiFies as to its origin. Monsieur Pierre
Ryan then residing near 0eean Springs,
related him legend eonceping this music
and on returning 10 North Carolina DE-.
Gilmatt wrote the said legend In verse,
aud it was afterwards published BY wm.
Ilaxter, in his poetleal works. All traces
Of this legend, as woven into verse by
DIR. Gilmett, has been lost except one copy,
preserved by the family Of Col. A. L.
Lewis, of West Pascagoala, Miss.
by rcpublishing this iegend and the
explanation given by the author, you
win oblige many Of your
"SuBscRiBERs.
During the simmer Of 1878, which
spent on the Mexican Gull, had frequent
opportunities of listening TO what Is
called tho mysterious music" The
singular sounds knswn by this aams are
usually heard ON the waters of Pascagoula
and Biloxi Bays.
By tho Creoles, who are very snpersti-
tous. 1t sheard with fear. but others listen
with u miagled feeling of pleasure and
wonder.
This music IL generally heard abont
nightfall, when II strikes upon the ear
like: the breathing OF aa Eolian harp In
the distance scarcely, howevef has feel
ing of delight been awakened by the
distant stram, when wonder is excited BY
the seeming approach of this fairy like
Music.
A moment before, aud the ear could
en,y catch faint, distant, dying cadence
now ii swells louder, becomes more aud
more distinct, until II secms within few
feet of where you stand. II is then trul,
mysterious, for though sensible that II Il
near you, you are totally unable 20 locate
the sound, but II issues from any point
to which you direct your attention. IL Il
in the above, below and all around whence
you listen, thence the music seems t.
How. THIS phenomenon has come undel
the Observations Of bundr .,ls, yet non,
have been able TO assign any adeqnat,
cause for il. There seems to bo no par
tieular place at which It might be heard
you may hear 1t for few evenings In
succession aud il may not be heard thei'
again for years. OF course many at
tempts, more or less fanciful have been
made to account for these wild, sweet
strains.
Tho most pleasing but perhaps not the
most satlstac tory OF these is aud Indian
legend, related to mo by oao who has
resided for years on the bay where thcs'
soauds are heard, and who Ia common
with myself has becn frequent ear wit
ness of the plaintiff melody.
The legend rs related TO me, is embodic0
