Having told the story of that terrible mental strug
gle in his earlier years, which ended in his abandon
ing orthodoxy in religion, the late Thomas Carlyle
ended with these words;
ayes, was shut up In my room in that way for
weeks eating lite and that at all sorts of odd times,
and when settled the faith question, and came out
to the world again, for the FIRST time In my life was
conscious of possessing such tnVerndI apparatus
a stomach" 1t may be added that during the rest of
his long life chronic dyspepsia kept the Act Of the
existence Of his stomach perpetually in the great
mans mind.
Dlsordered digestion and torpid liver handicap
mutitudes of people in lifes race, They are beaten
everywhere With their liver engorged with blood
and their brain uddled through lack of nutrition they
pass through the world like them that dream. Thus
eneebled and nacld in spirit and body they are the
first to fall before the touch of an epidemic, or to
yield TO any illness. Many avacant chair in editorial
rooms. in business Offices and In the studies OF liter
ary men tells this tale.

mpt action to obtain legislation by the
present congress which shall cut off
from the Fort Maginnis reservation tho
mineral belt partly embraced in it.
The neglect or refusal Of this relief
would be misfortune, not only to those
Immediately interested in that particu-
lar district, but to the territory at large.
There is every indication of a vast
production of wealth ffom the mines in
that district, which would be accom-
panied and followed by the rapid devel-

The Brave Who Wanted a Cannon.

General Sherman, when out on the
plains this summer, met at one of the
smaller Colorado stations a number of
Indians, writes a Washington cores
pondent They came up to him and
shook hands. Many of them displayed
great admiration for him as the great
white brave, and some of them APP
pealed to him for gifts. One, lusty
old buck, with greasy blanket
thrown over his shoulders, wanted
cannon. He said:
''Tell the great father at Washing
ton to send Indians a big cannon. Me
want cannon to shoot big bullets"
Sherman replied: 81 don't think
Indians ought to have cannons. Pm
afraid you would use them against my
soldiers, wouldn't you?"
The copper colored brave looked at
the General and no sign of smile
glittered IN his eye as he replied: "Nol
no! no! Indian no need cannon for
soldiers; kill soldiers with sticks !;
soldiers no good want cannon for
cowboys"
Ii is said that General Sherman was
greatly amused and somewhat lis
gusted.

Lebanon County's Wild Girl.
A Shocking Story Of Ignorance and
Deprazi in Millcreek township.

WoMELsDoRF, May s.
On the northern slope of South
Mountain, in Millcreck township, Lcb'
anon county, lives family, among
whom is a girl resembling wild wo-
man and who is kept more like beast
than a human being. The family con-
sists OF but three persons, the father, a
son and the giil in question. They oc-
cupy an old log hut, which is nearly
ready to tumble down. The girls
mother died when she was Il Child and
the poor creature has had no one to
train her. Her mind has always been
weak and she was neglected entirely in
every way. She has not been inside
school room in all her life she cannot
read or write. She is very shy OF
strangers. When she sees Il person APP
preaching her she disappears III the
bushes and rocks es tha mountain.
In the spring, it is said, her father com
pelS her to gotO the mountain with Il lot
of turkeys, Which she has 50 trained
that they follow her through thickets
and woods from morning until night.
Kind neighbors have several times at
tempted to catch the girl when she was
out with the turkeys and care for her,
bat all to NJ purpo Sc. She runs at the
sight or person and disappears, with
the fowls at her heels. Wheat bread,
the neighbors say, is unknown to the
creature tnat her principal diet was
of dried rye -four. Her father general
ly acts in the capacity of cook and bak
er. Her dress consists of oil rags,
which are tied about her body.
Some time ago one of the neighbors
took compassion on her and made n
new calico dress, which was probably
the only one the giIl has worn for sew
eral years. Ueadwear ald shoes are
unknown to hel III her rambles through
the rough woods and mountain. She
has long auburn hair, waich she wears
hanging down over her shoulders. The
household afflirs of this wretched fam
lily are said to bo very primitive. 1t is
stated 10y good authority that IA number
of citizens will call the attention of the
