THE NEW YORK INDIANS.

& the days when nearly the whole OF the
State of New York was in possession Of the
Iroquois-that dauntless nation skilled in all
the arts of savage warfare--Hiawatha, their
mythical patron saint, instructed them how
hey might resist the foe that would invade
their land, and remain free and prosperous.
Taking his council they banded themselves
together, tribe after tribe uniting, until the
powerful confederacy of the Six Nations was
formed Then, says tradition, Hiawatha
went down to the shore of Onondaga Lake,
near which the conference of the tribes was
held, aud seating himself in his canoe was
waited to the happy hunting grounds to the
strains of unseen music" This entire terri
tory remained in their possession for many
years but they were robbed of it by slow
degrees, until fiualy they were driven out
by force from their forest home, and new
cities were founded Gu The sites of their
ruined villages. The S3eneeas CNun-do-wR-
o-nos, or "great hill people, y were by far
the largest Of all the tribes composing the
confederacy, and were known as The Watch
men, on account of being the nearest to
their Western enemies. An old legend in
forms us that the original Senecas sprang
out of the ground at point on Lake Can.

GROWTH OF A WILDERNESS.

The growth of Eureka Springs, says an
Arkansas correspondent of the New Orleans
Times, has certainly been unprecedented In
the history of modern cities. Three years
ago the Healing Fountain was in secluded
wilderness, visited occasionally by solitary
hunter, but now all is changed. A city of
possibly $4,000 souls has sprung up, and, as
a watering place, she stands among the first
of her compeers, in both the Old World and
the New. Hence one sees the quiet, seclud-
ed spot in the hills of Arkansas in 1879
changed to a busy, bustling oity in 1882.
True, it may be said that Eureka cannot lay
claim to many fine edifces as yet, except
her hotels. The trouble seems to be on &C.
count of litigation before the Government
concerning the title of the land. The site
now occupied was formerly Government
lands, and thus contest has risen between
the agriculturists and the town site authori.
iea.

Yet this is tho attitude of the Maryland

About the Size Of It.

There is not dissenting voice to the
statement that we have by far the
largest stock. Now, we do not pretend
TO say that all of our goods are less in
price than anybody else can sell them
for. We do say that they are as low as
anybody's, and very often considerably
lower, for with the immense outlet we
have for goods, is it not reasonable to
suppose that by buying in larger quanti-
ties than any other house here can use
them we can buy cheaper? If we can
buy cheaper why can we not afford ito
sell cheaper? When, however, the price
we ask is no lower than others, do you
know you get the best in material, finish
and style that is offered at that price? /?

There were no developments yesterday as
to the whereabouts of Mai. A. H. Nickorson
who suddenly fed from this city Saturday
night, as already detailed in THE REPUBLI-
CAN. Inquiries made at army headquarters
and at tho Office of the secretary of war were
not rewarded by even hint as
to where the fugitive might be-
In fact the authorities are completely in the
dark as to where Nickerson has
trace of him. The impression most general
among those who know him In Washington
is that he has immigrated to the west, where
he will remain in obscurity until his troubles
blow over.
1t appears from the appended letter that
Mai Nickerson, before shaking the dust of
Washington from his feet, took the precau-
tion to place his fine house ON Dupont circle
beyond the reach Of the law. The letter

A REPUBLICAN reporter called yesterday
afternoon ut the Niekerson residence on Du-
pont circle with view, if possible, of obtain
ing some clew to the whereabouts of tho
major. The reporter was surprised to observe
Grape on the door and an undertakers wagon
in front of the house. At the house he was
informed that Miss Carter, q sister of Mrs.
Nickerson, had suddenly died about IL o clock,
adding an unexpected calamity to the
troubles that already burden the family. Mrs.
Carter, the mother of Mrs. Nickerson, was
in the house, completely Frustrated by the
death of her daughter. Miss Carter has been
afflicted with consumption for some time, and
it was known that she could not live long,
but her death came at an unexpected hour,
being due to hemOrrhage brought on by a
violent fit of coughing. A number of kind
neighbors were with the boreaved mother last
evening, and she was the recipient of much
sympathy. Those who know her accord her
the praise of being lady of superior attain
