TECUMSEH'S PIPE.

The great Ind an chieftain Tecumseh
owned remarkable pipe. similar 20
that described in Hiawatha though
apparently of still harder materia.
The pipe lisa queer piece of mechanism,
made of blac1 flint stone, rather light
and susceptible of polish similar to
gutta-percha. It is four and one half
inches in length from the top of the
bowl to the length of the shank. The
bowl is jug-shapetl, about two inches
long, and the shank is made upon the
plan of the bit of tomahawk, ana
blunt on the end with three grooves.
The edges are bound with q metallic
substance, probably pewter, and the
sides and bowl are curiously and very
ingeniously inlaid with the same metal.
The figures of the inlaying are regular,
and indicate an accurate mathematic
calculation, representing stars, hear s,
curious circles and various angles. The
bowl is topped and bound with the
same metal. The diameter of the bowl
at the bulge is an inch and three
fourths, and the cavity is eleven-six.

Railroad Accidents.

While on his way home from Baltimore to
near Bird Hill, last Tuesday evening, George
Barber's team turned off the road at Glen
Falls, and tried the tracks of the Western
MARYLAND Railroad. Before going far, the
horse fell down with his legs between the ties,
while crossing bridge that spans a small
stream, and was in that position when train
came along and killed the animal and demol-
ished the wagon. Mr.. Barber had gotten out
of the wagon and was not injured.
A similar accident happened up the road
one night last week, not far from New Wind
sor. While young gentleman was out WIS.,
iting, his horse got loose and concluded to go
home. When near his Journeys end he struck
up the railroad track for a short cut. just
before the point to turn off again, he got his
legs down between the ties of q cattle guard.
A train coming along shortly after tore him
into fragments and wrecked the buggy.
The Western Maryland Railroad track is
not a good place for driving purposes. 1t
might do for light horseback riding between
trains.

Children's Day was celebrated at the Cen
tenary NJ. l.. Church, this city, on Sunday
last In the morning an appropriate sermon
was delivered by Rev. Geo. W. Heyde. At
night was the gala time for the children. A
platform was erected, which was tastefully
decorated with flowers; in fact, the back of
the platform was one mass of roses. The pro-
gramme was as follows; Singing, "The City
of God;'' prayer, Rev. c. A. Reid; singing,
''Welcome Greeting;'' welcome address, Miss
Hattie Stevenson; singing, 1.-The Heavenly
LADDER riddle, by the infant class; singing,

affair passed off nicely. Miss Stevenson s
address was carefully written and well deIiv-
cred. The riddle given by the children was
very amusing 1t seems as though the child
