Mental Telegraphing by Red Men.
I Missouri Republican,


1t is said that the Indians on the plains
have always practiced system of mental
telegraphing among themselves, by means
of which they communicate with each
other almost simultaneously, and without
messengers or signals. This mental tele-
graphing is by no means peculiar to the
Indians on the plains of the United States
The same thing has been done by many
people on the plains, and among the noun
tains, both of America and other cou ntries,
and is to-day, and always has been, one
method of manifesting knowledge known
to and practiced by many persons.
The manner in which such communica-
tions are made seems to be, and is great
mystery. Many theories about it have
been suggested, all of which fall short of
satisfying the minds of the people as to
how it is done. The fact that such COM
munications are sent and received, and
that they are often genuine and true, and
that such is one mode Of manifesting
knowledge is almost universally conceded.

Last of the PeQuOts.

A reporter met on the streets of Birmin !
ham, Conn, short time ago, man wild
was selling CLAIMS from wagon. An inter
view with him developed the fact that he
claims to be the last of the noble tribe of
Requots, who, in the early days of the settle
ment. occupied the country about where
Litchfeld now stands. The mans name is
Truman Bradley. He is not full blooded,
but claims to be two-thirds Indian. His ap-
pearance substantiates his claim. He stands
over six feet tall, is straight, broad shoul-
dered and bronzed to a coppery hue. His
eyes are black and deep set. His cheek
bones are prominent, his jaws strong and
powerful, his forehead low and broad, his
hair gray, and he has no beard. In CONVEX
sation with him the reporter learned that he
claims to be the sole heir of the Pequots, and
there is $1,000 held in trust for them, which
Is now in the hands of trustee appointed by
the Judge of the superior court of Ltchfield
county. He will apply to the next legisla-
ture for the $1,000, submitting his proofs for
the inspection Of the committee having the
matter in charge.-New York Evening Sun.

THE ARCHER.

An archer stands, inteut and still,
High on a bleak and barren hill
He turns below his restless eyes
At every glance an arrow flies.
His bow is strong, his aim is sure,
His shaft all mortal i'll doth cure.
We call him Death. We shrink and fear
TO know his grisly presence near.
Yet each must fall, or soon or late;
Death will remember though he wait.
His culver holds, concealed from view,
The arrow that is kept for you.

Popular Science Monthly. !

Popular Science Monthly
Many persons believe that under the
present system of education young people
are acquiring distaste for manual labor,
and that there is consequently, danger that
the trades and agricultural occupations
will be deserted by all but the most ineffi-
cient classes of workmen. Much of the
experience of English and American soci-
ETY. is in favor of this view, and the ten
denotes in France appear to be in the
same direction. As an offset to what may
be said in favor of it, the London Specta-
tor directs attention to the fact that no
dislike of work, even of the toughest char
acter, has appeared among two of the best
educated races. The Scotch, who have
been taught for 200 years, and are now
more thoroughly trained than English
national schoolboys, show no disposition
to avoid labor, but are remarkable for per-
sis tent and fairly contented industry.
The Prussian peasants, who are edu-
Gated as the English will be
twenty years hence, work ex-
ceedingly hard, and in the country, where
the holdings are their own, show none of
the resentment at their fate which is man
ifested in the towns in the form of socialis-
tic aspirations. GARDENERS who, all over
Great Britain, are the best instructed of
manuel laborers, work, more especially
when working for themselves, with un-
usual diligence, and it is matter of con-
slant observation that laborer who hap
pens by any accident to be "bit of a
scholar" can be depended upon when work
presses and every man is required. The
people of Rome who can read and write
are far more diligent than the Neapolitans,
who cannot; and the best wOrkmen in
Italy are those who have passed through
the army and obtained what is practically
an education. There seems to be no apriori
reason why it should be otherwise.

The GalIows Abolished,

Governor Hill has signed the bill sub stitutinG electricity for the gsllows. The new law will spply to murders committed on and after January l, 1889. It embo- dies the most radical reform of the Gan tury in the mode of inflicting the death penalty.
 The bill consists of elaborate and care fully drawn amendments to the Code of Criminal Procedure, providing that the prisoner sentenced to death shall be im- medistely conveyed by the Sheriff to one of the State prisons, and there kept in solitary confinement until ihe day of execution, to be visited only by officers or by his relatives, physicians. clergy men or counsel. The Court imposing sentence shall name merely the week within which the execution is to take week being left to the discretion Of the principal officer of the prison. The exc oution is required to be practically pri- vate. only officials. clergymen, physicians and 6 limited number of citizens being allowed 10 be present. After the eIecu- tiop funeral services may be held within the prison walls and the body shall be delivered into the custody of relatives If cQuotbc0, Ot0erNlke it tDhu pe QSCeDbly Interred within the prison grounds. Thls bill IS the outcome of a recon mendstion contained in the first annual message of Governor Hill to the Legisls- ture in 1885. being as follows:-
 "rhe present mode of executing cri-
 mInsls by hanging has come down to us from the Dark Ages, sud 1t may well be
 questioned whether the science of the
 present day cannot provide 6 means for taking the life Of such ss are condemned I to die in less barbsrous manner. commend this suggestion to the consi- iteration of the Legislature"
 The attention of scientific men was attracted 10 the subject by this message, and in 1e86 the Gerry Commission was appointed by the Legislature 10 iuveeti. gate and report the most humane snd practical method of carrying into effect the sectence of death in capital oBses This bill is substantially in accordance with the recommendation of such Con- mission to the Legislature of fthe present year. The new law does not take efeoI until January l, 1889, and applies only to crimes committed on or after thsi date.-0lobe.

Harper one Of the oldest engineers on the road, has been handling the throttle on number IF for some time, beautiful engine with perfect machinery, and when she was placed in the shop some three weeks ago he wss determined to eclipse the other boys and hsve the prettiest engine on the road. Master MechGDIc Carroll readily granted permission Es RlsO dId the acting general Master Mechanic at Sacramento. After being thoroughly overloaded, she was turned over to MT. Hickox, the skilful painter of the shop, All the wheels have been painted red which makes striking co ntIast with the deep black of the tender and boiler.

The Irrigation Decision

The action of the Supreme Court in upholding the Wright Irrigation law is worthy of the fullest approval. The chaos in which the riparian decision of the old court left the irrigation matters and she proprIetorship of waters m this state was Q backset 10 the prosperity of some of its most important sections, The Wright lsw,passed by the last Leg. islsture, placed it in the power of any district 10 condemn land for iitches and construct irrigation works. The court has sustained the law st every point.
 This decision settles the only serious question that threatened the pros sperisy of the southern and central counties. Such decision Is worth millions to the state. The irrigation works can now go on without fear of interference from bucoaneering capitalists or doe-ip-the- manager monopolists.-S. F. Post
