NILFORD'S MAZEPPA was out fur q
practice canteT on Sunday last. We
withhold the gentlemaDs name, but
he is prominent merchant in South
Milford, not very youthful, and does
business in brick building OH a corner.
The facts are about as follows: the gem
tlemen dressed himself on Sunday
with new suit of clothes, and pre-
pared to pass the hot sultry day in a
very comfortable manner; but in this
case, a man proposed and a hog dis
posed. Well, the day was hot, and the
pig found the stv very dull and nnin-
teresting, so he started on tour of in
spectiOn around the barn yard. To
this the afOrsaid merchant objected,
and commenced active opposition.
Now real energetic pig can crawl
through a very small place to get
where he should not be, but to get him
back it requires a space sufficient to
drive a wagon through, before he can
even see it. This was that kind of a
pig. Well, after a real active campaign
the merchant cOrnered the hog. and as
his blood was up, he made an assault,
but in his efforts to grab the hog by
the ear. he slipped and fell across the
hogs back. To see that merchant ly-
ing balanced diagonally across that
hogs back, trying with all his nigh
TO regain his footing. while the hog
WAS rapidly running towards "a large
pile of refuse thrown from the sty, was
ludicrOus; but the catastrophe came
when that pile of i'll smelling refuse
was reached. The merchant is piOus
man, but when he had gathered him
self together and beat retreat he was
heard to say unto his better half, ,"Well
I'll be ddTled if Tide have spoiled these
breaches for the darned hog"

Fashion Notes.
From Eastern Exchanges. !

lffom Eastern ENchanges'l
Polonaises are much worn.
Black toilets are again in high vogue.
Stockings beaded in pearls are worn
with white satin dresses.
Grenadine and lace dresses are more
worn than any other material.
The newest lace pins representa- mos
quito crawling over Japanese fan, with
moth on the edge.
Black velvet binds OF tho narrowest
nre twisted about the hair four or five
times. Only blondes wear them.
Scarlet parasols arc ornamented by
rows Of scarlet velvet, and sometimes by
ruflle Of Spanish or guipure lace,
IT is now quite the fashion TO hand
paint your given name upon the handle
or panel Of your parasol, your pocket
book, glove-top, etc.
The newest slippers are made with
square toes and are tied across the instep
by band of black velvet caught by
Rhine stone buckle.
Garden hats covered with pale blue
null, with long strings OF the same to
tie in front, are very pretty. A bunch
Of moss rose-buds or lilies OF the valley
ornaments them.
Some imported handkerchiefs are
made of linen as iine as q spiders web,
embroidered after designs of pictures in
floss silk. One recently seen represent
ed the battle of Fontainebleau.
Pink is one of the most popular colors
this season, and whole dresses of pink
lawn or pink and white muslin are seen.
The trimming is generally some soft
dainty Oriental or Irish point lace.
Square cut corsages are more popular
than those cut pointed or in triangle.
Dotted tulle is the favorite material for
filling in the corsage and tiny ribbons
of white satin are also used to tic the
Illusion.
White still seems to be the favorite
dress material for summer wear. The
plain Victoria lawns, cross-baTed and
dotted muslin are used more than the
nuns yelling or flannel, although the
latter are extensively used for seaside
wear.
Two cccentricities in dress were no.
ticed lately at the smartest parties in
London, Eng. One lady wore crimson
dress, and the same color was carried
out in every detail, even to long crimson
gloves. Another, whose costume was
pale blue, followed up the idea of pale
blue kid gloves. Both were peeresses.

Scalp Taking.

Hundreds of yearsago-perhaps thou
sands-when the Indians were all ono
tribe and under one great chief, dis
pute arose in the tribe as to who should
become chief, the old chief having died
without leaving q son to succeed him.
There were two principal aspirants for
the chieftaincy, and each of them had a
strong following. The dispute ended in
dividing the tribe, and in war. Previous
to this time scalping was unknown, as
there were no enemies to scalp, the land
being occupied by only one people.
Peace was never made between the
two factions. The chief of one
side had beautiful daughter,
and one of the leading warriors was q
suitor for her hand. The chief, rs con
dition to consenting to give his daugh-
ter TO her warrior lover, required him to
kill the chief of the opposing tribe (his
old-time rival for the chieftancy), and to
bring him proof of the act. The warrior
accepted the condition. IL was many
long miles to the camp of the enemy,
and the snow was deep, but he immedi-
ately set out upon his mission. After
lying in wait near the enemy's camp for
days and undergoing great suffering from
the extreme cold without having an op-
portunity of carrying out his plan, he
finally, one night, boldly entered the
camp, walked into the chiefs lodge,
slew him, and, cutting off his head to
take back. with him as proof, started to
return to his own people. The next
morning the murder was discovered,
also the murderer's tracks in the snow
and drops of blood which had fallen
from the dead chieftain's captured head
Two hundred warriors started in persuit
of the murderer. They almost overlook
him, and he could hear them on his
track. He was almost tired out, and the
dead chiefs head was growing heavy,
yet he struggled on with it through this
snow and cold, determined not to relin
quish the proof which would win for him
his bride. The pursuers pressed him
so at length that he threw away every
weight but his trophy. They finally
gained on the weary brave 30 fast thai
il seemed that he must either relinquist
his prize or be captured, which, OF
course, would be death. Whipping out
his rude knife (it was before the time oi
steel knives among the Indians), he hur.
riedly stripped off the scalp from the
dead mans head and sped on. Thus
lightened of his load he made his own
camp in safety. The scalp was accepted
as sufficient proof that he fulfilled his
mission, the old chief no longer withheld
his consent, and the bright-eyed daugh-
ter of the forest became his own. Thus
originated the custom of scalping among
the American Indians.
