An Indian Relic.

a curious and historic Indian toma-
hawk has been unearthed on the banks
of Richland Greek, in Greene county,
Ga. Its historic interest consists In the
fact that it has been identified by old
settlers as the axe welded by Cusstuggee,
one of the most dreaded Indian braves
who resisted the advances of the paleface
into this part of the country. In size
the tomahawk is as large as an ordinary
axe, but is much thicker and heavier, yet
Cusstuggee is said to have welded it as
though it we're mere toy. It has still
keen edge. AS piece of workman
ship it is perfect. 1t is Of block quartz
rock, is cut smooth, and weighs seven
pounds. It was found on the bank of
Richland Greek, sunk deep in the earth,
where it has lain fifty years.

southern Florida. A lady paid l,OOO
for two weeks for her apartments. The
bridal chambers cost $40 a day-not a
steep figure for the young folks. The
price for dinner is s2-simply because
the boats and trains bring scores OF
sight-seers every day who take dinner,
hear the concerts, explore the house
from the picture gallery and gardens to
the sheltered roof below which and far
away the ocean unrolls its thunderous
majesty.
Nh. Flagler said to me: ssThe Spaniards
tried to do something with Florida.
The French tried. Both failed. Now
the American Yankee proposes to try his
hand.
And the Yankee is making things hum.
Florida never knew such prosperity
such fullness and plentitude of prosperi-
ty-as this season brought her. How
much of this was due to the Ponce de
Leon cannot be measured. Thousands
upon thousands whose faces were SET
westward, were turned southwark by the
stories of this amazing palace. What it
has done this year it will double and
treble next year. For with the Alcazar
added-the whole enterprise made per-
fect-nowhere else on this earth can the
Wayfarer live in such absolute luxury
and enjoyment.
What else of Mr.. Flagler?
Nothing. Except that he lives quietly
at his New York home in winter and at
Long Branch in the summer. At the
latter place he has stable of fine trot-
tiers, a half-mile track, his trainers, his
yacht, and his friends. He gives the
summer to recuperation-and whether
loafng at Long Branch or cruising
through smiling seas, he gathers his
friends about him. He is known far and
wide for his charities and his general
helpfulness. President Cleveland once
said to him, after studying Ponce de
Leon, wide-eyed with surprise: "The
man who built this ought to be secretary
Of war of this republic.
s.My politics forbid in the first place,
Mr.. President" he replied, 'tand did
they permit my inclination would not.
But if I were Democrat and were your
secretary of the treasury you would not
long be troubled with a surplus if took
a notion to continue building hotels"
And so Mr.. Flagler goes quietly along.
In spite of his double score of millions
and his enormous Investments in the
North and West, his heart is largely set
on the wonderful peninsula that must in
time become the winter sanitarium and
tropical garden of the continent. The
millions he has spent there are but an
earnest of the millions to come, if they
shall be necessary to prove that the
"American yankee can rehahilitate what
has wasted under the hands of the
Spanisrds and French"

It has been figured out by statistical
official that there are thirty-one criminals
to every thousand bachelors, and only
eleven criminals to every thousand married
men. From this showing he argues that
matrimony restraints men from crime, and
ought, therefore, to be encouraged by leg
islation and otherwise.

Gossip about Women.

Gossip about Women.
Mrs. .Endicott denies that her daughter
is engaged to Joseph Chamberlain.
This Is authentic.
Mrs. Ashton Dixie told the members
of the Women's Club of Chicago that
she smokes cigarettes and likes decollete
dresses.
The important news is chronicled IN
Washington newspaper that Belya a.
Lockwood's spring bonnet is thing Of
beauty. The Presidential bee in it,
however, is not especially becoming.
Carrie Bragg is editor of the Virginia
Lancet, published at Petersburg, We.
She is colored woman, the only one in
the United States thus employed.
Mrs. Mancell Talcott, who recently
died in Chicago in her 68th year, gave
away $500, 900 in charity in the last ten
years of her life. She used to pick up
children on the street and buy them
shoes and clothes. She established two
day nurseries in Chicago and the
drinking-fountain in Garfield park Was
erected through her generosity.
Unlike most employers George N.
Pullman has as much -eguard for the
executive ability of women IS for that OF
men. He is always willing to pay
mans wages if she can do mans work.
He has a great many women IN his
employ and 8 high opinion OF their
usefulness.
It is said that Mrs. DR. Schieman won
her husbands heart by her knowledge of
Greek. He visited her fathers house
when she was young woman Of Is, and
she amazed and delighted him by
reciting to him long extract from the
lEad. The next day he popped the
question.
The Duchesse De Dino from whose
abundant Golfers are said to have come

Boulanger's election, brought to the
eccentric marquis an almost pEincely
fortune, which he appears to have found
available in furtherinG his political
scenes, be being Republican of the
Rochefort type. Once his peculiariies,
it is said. is to occasionally surprise the
Anarchists by forwarding them
handsome check. The Duchess was
formerly Adele Livingston Strauss, OF
New York. and was divorced from her
American husband.
Josefy, the pianist, has been receiving
good deal Of social attention IN WASH
ington of late. He remembered having
met Mrs. Cleveland when she WIS a
schoolgirl at Aurora, N. Y. ttHave
you forgotten how We girls bothered
you for your autographs?" asked Mrs.
Cleveland. ssI don't believe you ever
knew that it was my good fortune to
secure no less than twelve OF these auto
graphs, one of which, written on the
margin of the concert programme, Is still
retained by me as souvenir OF that
occasion.
Says a Chicago newspaper: "Amels
Rives, the young Virginia novelist, has
gore to bed sick. overwhelmed by the
adverse criticisms on her latest story.
She is said TO be aghast at the interpre-
tation made of it by people who saw evil
where she meant none. Letters from
indignant readers have poured in on her
from all quarters. It is Miss Rives's first
experience with hostile criticism, and,
even if not deserved, it will have more
wholesale effect than the fulsome adu-
lation she has been fed on"

Assignment Held to BE Fraudulent.


New YORK, april l1.-Judge Ineraham in the
Supreme Cour. to-day gave a decision adjudg-
ing that the assignment which the great dry
goods house of Hasted, Haines & Co., made in
1884 be aside as being in fraud of the rights
of the creditors. This house failed for
million dollars. The creditors. through their
counsel, brought suit to set aside the assign
ment upon the ground that it made de-
fraud them The was tried in 1885. but
the Judge dismissed the complaint, holding the
assignment TO be valid. A second suit OF the
First National Bank of Port Chester was tried
with similar result. Appeals were made and
judgments were reversed and a new trial was
ordered. The came back for second
trial. which was had IN January last and
decided in favor of the crrdlio rs who attacked
the instrument. The judge finds that the
sienm-pt was not made with horest intent,
that it was fraud upon the creditors. and is
therefore void He holds that the assignment

SPRINGFIELD, April ia circular letter

general managers of railways operating lines in
Illinois. It directed that, warm weather was
approaching. the sanitary conditions OF railway

numbers of immigrants family coming TO
this country It prevails as an epidemic in some
of the South American ports. 1t will, there
fore, be prudent to use all vigilance to prevent
1t from gaining a foothold here. The letter calls
special attention to the water-cosets at railway
stations and to the supplies of drinking-water
for passengers. At the smaller cifles and towns
it is recommended that privy vaults should be
emptied &C intervals and disin.ectants used
