DEAD BODY IN A RAILWAY CAR
Shortly after leaving Logansport, Ind, on
the 1st inst, the conductor on the Cinciu-
natl and st. Louis passenger train triE d
the closet door and found it locked. Fore
ing the door be found the dead body of a
well-dressed man hanging by the strap
fastened to the Water-pipe overhead
Nothing on the body could furnish positive
identity, but he is supposed to be Il solicit
tor for the nursery IF N. H. Albaugh II
Co., at Cadner, Ohio.

lace is silver dog collar worn outside the
dress band with upright linen collar. But
this is very trying.

Tennessee Capitalists in the
Florida Ship canal.
Nashville Banner, s,

Ex-Governor John G. Brown, of
Tennessee, has accepted the presidency
of the Florida canal enterprise. He
has been in New York since Monday
comforting with the Executive Com,
mittee. He has examined the charter
and everything connected with the
undertaking, and, after thorough
investigation has decided to accept the
position proffered him. He regards
the enterprise as a grand one. If he
did not so regard it, would never have
lent his name to it. Governor Brown
is gentleman of financial ability. No
one recognizes this fact SO thoroughly
as Jay Gould, the railroad king. It
may be said that the mere fact OF Gov
ernor Brown giving the company the
use of his name insures the success of
the enterprise.
Among the officers and stockholders
are:
Governor Benjamin f Butler, Mas

| Ohica&O Oneek.
Lo, the poor Indian maiden, who
hears music in the winds and sees her
gunny sack polonaise futtering in the
clouds. is Just now budding in the
loveliness other spring attire. No
burdensome sealskin sack weights her
Grecian shoulders, no ponderous moe
casin draggles her step in the trailing
dust like Eve. and the prophet. she
has not much on her mind in her own
country. The agency blanket protects
her from the damp western soil, and a
strand of choral beads and bright
smile ornament her features, while
she is gracefully clothed in a
bit of brief domestic authority
and cavalry pants. 1t is a cutsom
of the bellies of these feathery tribes
TO walk along the railroad tracks of
civilization and gather the black dope
which drops from the axels of the
cars. With this they smear their
cheeks and arms and grow more beau
titul, if such a thing were possible.
The styles have changed with these
untutored smoke tanned daughters OF
the forest and the old fashioned rag
carpet bodice has been superseded BY
a ballet costume that would 60 any,
where by mail for one cent. The plug
hat of the missionary is still held in
high favor, but the newspaper hustle"
has taken a back seat and slid off into
the murky frog pond of the immuta
bic past. 1t is not considered the
proper caper for the ultrafashionable
maidens to wear dogs to watch their
complexion, as is the custom in the
oreide East. The robe de mutt is even
less expensive than that worn by
their paleface sisters of the immediate
here. At a full dress parade or
evening dog tea, some OF them are not
so mucha covered with revolver and
you all know how embarrassing that
would make you and [ look to mingle
with such recherche set. Our Indian
editor tells US that party in an In
dian village is grand affair. He says
that the stately mansion of some sage
brush resident is brilliantly lighted
with the candelabra Of hog oil in a
cove oyster can with candle wick
made of bombazine rag, style julius
Caesar the lst. This poses statuesquely
upon the escritoire, giving the stately
wigwam the appearance of a Chinese
lantern. The guests all huddle about
the tauteuil Of buffalo skins and chat
merrily as a corps of Egyptian kiln
dried mummies.
The young brave Of the family comes
in with his high necked spurs and his
cavalry sword and the company are
not shocked for he has a U. S. belt on.
His gizzard is warmed with agency
whisky, and his breath is strong enough
to lariat his broncho. Millinery for
these people is not very expensive, and
we do not believe that a millinery
store would pay among them. Plug
hats command ready sale at left
hand prices, There will not be any
important changes in their fashions
this season not already mentioned.
Tag is the favorite game of the eclst
Indian society folks. Our croquet
editor will give minute description
Of the play and its intricacies next
issue. For the present we bid adieu to
these wild. weird tobacco signs of the
unreserved reservation.

What We Have Borrowed from
the Indians.

The May Century contains the
fourth of Edward Eggleston's papers
on American Colonial History, enti-
tied. THE Aborigines and the Colo
nists." DR.. Eggleston has made wide
and special study of Indian life, and
and among the novel conclusions he
has reached. some of the most curious
relate to the Indebtedness of the white
settlers to the Indians. Not only did
the white men get tobacco from this
source, but with it they borrowed the
custom Of smoking by the roadside in
token of friendship which was former
ly interdIcted by the Puritan law
givers. The art of making maple
sugar and the culture of the maize
were. learned from the savages, who
planted his corn in hills, grew beans
around the stalks, and filled the in
tervening space with pumpkin vines,
and old fashioned farmers do yet.
The great factories OF fish man
ure along the northern coast are
Il acked to the advice of an Indian
given to the pilgrims to put a fish in
every bill of corn. Hominy, samp,
supaun and pone are Indian words,
and there is hardly an approved
method of cooking maize that the
Indians did not know; even the West
ern hoecake aud the Southern ashcake
were made by the squaw. Mats, bas.
kets aud shoes were made from corn
husks by the savages, and from them
white men took the hint of using
husks for chair bottoms, horse collars,
etc. Their bark house was used as a
temporary place of abode by settlers
in every colony, and its tradition still
fingers in the bark camp of the Adj.
rondack sportsmen.
The birch canoe and the dugout.
which played so important a part in
colonial life and which are still used
we're borrowed from the savages. The
corn husking bee and house raising
assemblages were Indian customs.
The device of using hot stones to heat
water in barrel at hog killing ting
a custom very common yetin the Mis-.
sissippi valley-was adopted from the
Indian method Of cooking food. The
first Virginia settlers early learned
from the Indians to eat the meat OF
the snake, and a hundred years after
the settlement rattlesnskes were re-
garded as a great delicacy by some of
the planters.
