The recent investigation into the
Indian troubles on the SkceAa River,
British Columbia, has brough, to light a
deeply laid plot, by which, at two secret
meetings held at katamaX last wiutcr, it
was arranged among the Indian tribes in
that section TO massacre all the white
settlers. The mas acre was avcrtcd by
one of the Indians, who, at the risk OF
his life, threatened to warn the Govern
ment unless the idea was abandoned.
The Skceua Indians are described by the
New York I1d 0s Of low stature and
degraded morals. They are all heathens
and sturdily refuse to embrace Chris
tianity. They are all wild and lawles3,
with no more notion of fairness than a
wolf, whose character they exactly
parallel, inaSmuch as when they come to
the store alone they are almost yeX-
aiiously meek and lowly, but when they
collect in numbers they are loud .mouthed
and mcnacing, Their faces consist
mainly Of mouth and cheek bones, with
small, flat noses.

Hremen'S Roland.

But the quaintest thing in Bremen is
its statue of liberty, the "Roland," as il
is called. 1t is colossal figure, eight
cen feet high, and was erected in tho
centre of the town in l412. In one huge
hand the giant holds II shield marked
with an eagle that symbol of liberty in
all ages, in the other naked sword. l.
was the gauntlet thrown down to all thi
world that Bremen would be free, free
dom so successfully maintained that
even now, though part of the German
empire, Bremen is free city and has /,
free port.

LAST TIME AND NEXT.

When last we met the woods were gree.
The sky was azure, clear and gay,
The glade was dscked in lustrous sheen,
Twas in the early bloom of May;
The throstle left betimes his bed
To chant his lay above thy head,
When last we met.
When next we meet q leaden sky
Shall frown With mournful port above:
The birds shall chant no lullaby,
Nor sing the fairness of my love;
All mournful shall the bare trees stand,
Stript Of their leaves by winters hand,
When next we meet.
But thou, who by thy queenly grace,
When all around was fair to see,
Could natures bravest hues efface,
Despite such noble rivalry,
Shalt shine thousand times more fair,
When all around be black and bare.

GOUsEnOLD MATTERS.
To Roll Po,,tocs SYSTEMATICALLY

The proper, sensible and scientific way
to boil potato is without peeling 1t.
Retaining its skin Though very well
washed. be it said, 1t also retains those
possibilities of flavor aud ilouriness of
which the generality Of cooks do their
very best to rob it, Different sorts need
different treatment, but it may be taken
as general axiom that potatoes should
boil till they may be easily pierced by a
fork, and that alter every smallest drop
Of water has been carefully and studiousIy
drained away from them, they should be
steamed for only three or four minutes
over a hot fire and well shaken during
this process. Thev should then be served
in dish without u cover, and very hot.
Perhaps the potato is the only vegetable
that docs not suffer from being eaten
from the same plate with meat or poultry.

attempting to have n law passed compel
ling a man to declare his intentions
within four weeks after paying his first

fault of the gentler sex. The nature of

straying leaves and large clcmatiS.
There are Just three or four crossed
slaves, worked in shades Of browns and
greens in the corner, forming the trcllis,

in light blue cotton in the center and

pongeo silk, about n quarter of yard
deep, was gathered on all round, and

effect was excellent. j have also seen n

pink and brown knitting silk, with a

A Live Charge in His Gun.
From the N. Y. Times.

There are lew better marksmen
among the rail and reed birds on the
Hackensack Meadows than Edwin Me-
toosh land yesterday it was with full bag,
contented mind, ard good appetite
that he sat down on dry spot to eat his
lunch, leaving his gun ew yards away
from him. After his meal he stretched
himself among the rushes and slept
for an hour. He awoke re-
freshed, and had hardly resumed
his sport when magnificent
flock of rail arose within easy range. It
was flock calling for both barrels, but
be fired only one, for at the first dis
charge something flew from the muzzle
of his gun that he was satisfied he had
not loaded his piece with. He could
see it quite plainly despite the smoke.
1t was something like his ramrod, but
it was thicker. 1t passed squarelv
through the rail, as the whole flock
went whirring away without leaving
single dead or wounded bird behind
Mr.. Metoosh went cautiously forward
to the place where the strange object
had dropped. He found black snake,
nearly three feet long, scorched and
torn, writing upon the ground. The
reptile had crawled into the barrel of
his gun while he slept. Mr.. Metoosh
had no more heart Tor shooting. He
went home and drew the second charge
from his piece. half expecting to find
another snake there. Nothing but pow
der and shot came out, however. He
says he will refrain from sleeping on
Hackensack Meadows in the future

London Police Have Clue to the
Whitechapel Murderer.
LONDON, Oct. 5.-Sir Charles Warren,
chief of the metropolitan police force,
has decided to employ bloodhounds in
his efforts to discover the perpetrator of
the Whitechapel murders. The police
place confidence in the story of
George M. Dodge. a seaman, who
states that in August last he met a
Malay cook named Alask, with whom
he had previously been acquainted on
shipboard, in music hall in London,
and that 4Alask told him he had been
robbed Of all he had by woman of the
town and threatened that unless he
found the woman and recovered his
property he would kill and mutilate
every Whitechapel woman he met. The
police are searching everywhere for the
Malay.
Acting on information which has been
furnished them, the police who are in
vestigating the Whitechapel murders,
have seized and occupied several houses
in that section.
