How He Escaped the British.

Though very full accounts have been pre-
served Of the life and hardships of the Amer
lean people during the great Revolution, it is
very probable that many incidents of great
interest have escaped general notice, or are
buried in oblivion. A perfectly authenti-
Gated story of those gloomy days has been
handed down by the old inhabitants of Fox
Islands, which has never been embalmed in
print. 1t is the story of John Perry's shot
at the British men-of-war, and his subse-
quent escape from their vengeance. Perry's
house was situated upon the northern shore
of South Fox Island. From piece of land
which he cultivated, and an occasional trip
to the fishing grounds, he drew his support
One day British war vessel hove to, oppo-
site his place, and sent ashore party Of
foragers swho seized and killed his only
yoke of oxen, took all the corn from his log
bin, and committed other depredations
They paid but little heed to Perry, thinking
one man alone would not dare to resent his
actions. But Perry, his heart filed with
grief and rage, quietly secured his gun, and
stealing to favorable spot, fired and killed
two men. Quickly returning to distant
part OF the shore, he sprang into o dug-out
which he kept there, and was well on his
way to the mainland before the British could
discover his whereabouts and send boat in
| pursuit. Reaching Munroe's Island, which
| lies some distance south of Owls
| Head, he landed on its inner
| side and ran to the seaward shore to
watch his pursuers. They came up and
| skirted the island; evidently not seeing his
| boat for he now returned to it to find it safe.
| Once more he started for the mainland, but
was again discovered; too late, however, to
| be Cvertaken. A volley was fired at him as
| he sprang up the shore toward the woods,
| one bullet striking him in the leg. The
| wound did not prevent him making good his
escape, but he limped from its effects during
the remainder Of his life. The victims of his
| deadly shot were buried by their comrades
near where they fell. Many of Perry's de-
scendants are yet living on Fox Islands.

What Uncle Sam Is Doing to ClvIllze
the Redskins.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13-Commissioner of In
dian Affairs Oberly in his annual report de-
votes great deal of space to Indian educa-
tion.
He says that the education of the Indian
youth should be compulsory, leaving with
the parents the liberty to choose between
government and private schools as long as
the private school furnishes the elements re-
quired by civilized life and conforms to a
uniform standard prescribed by the govern
ment A uniform standard OF qualifications
should be required Of all teachers receiving
appointments and should be enforced by
rigid and impartial examinations. The Of
hcial tenure Of the teacher should be perma-
nent and removals be made only for in
efhclency, incompetency or other unfitDess.
Commissioner Oberly says the Indian is
commencing to appreciate the fact that he
must become civilized or perish. The com
missioner reports that during the past fiscal
year 3,349 allotmeuts Of land involving
34S,1 acres were made to the Indians and
urges legislation to authorize the placing Of
Indian land for grazing purposes. Many
tribes would be benefited by 1t and it would
enable them to derive a revenue which
would lessen their dependence upon govern
ment appropriations Healso recommends the
enactment of a law to protect timber on al
lotted lands from the depredations Of timber
thieves.

THE BEST CASE.
Tho Habeas Corpus Proceedings Be-
fore Judge Webb.

The proceedings on the petition fled by
Nathan and Henry B. Cleaves in behalf Of
William ]. Best, asking for writ Of Habeas
Corpus, will be continued before Judge
Webb In the Circuit Court this morning
1t will be remembered that In October last,
a complaint was made by James G.. Stevens
Of st. Stephen, New Brunswick, charging
Best with an attempt to murder Edward NJ.
Batson, OF Campobello Island. A hearing
was had before Commissioner Rand of this
city occupyinga week and the Commissioner
determined that he deemed the evidence suf-
fcient to sustain the charge under the treaty
and ordered Best to be committed until a
warrant should issue for his surrender to the
British authorities. Secretary Bayard is
sued warrant for the surrender Of Best
and Sheriff Stuart, OF New Brunswick, Is
now In the city to receive Best and convey
him to New Brunswick for trial In the
proceedings before Judge Webb 1t Is claimed
by the counsel for Best that the Commits
sioner did not acquire jurisdiction under the
treaty regulations to hear and determine the
case. because the complaint against Best
was not made by an authorized agent Of
Nlodt DAlldius anu IuItHeT THAT Luere was
not legal evidence before the Commissioner r
to sustain the charge. consequently the wat
rant for the surrender Of Best issued by the
State Department at Washington is void.
The objec lions to the Jurisdiction of the
Commissioner have been argued by Hon.
Henry Il. Cleaves and the remaining ques-
tion as to whether there was legal evidence
to justify the committal remains for further
argument. The termination Of the case is
awaited with great deal of interest, as it
involves important questions in extradition
proceedings. and Is Of great consequence to
the accused. who Is crippled soldier. losing
his leg in the service In 1861.
Campobello where the offense is said to
have been committed is only about a mile
from Eastport. The citizens Of Eastport
have taken great interest in the matter,
sending petition signed by Hons N. b.
Mutt, Alden Bradford and County Attorney
Llvermore and one hundred other leading
citizens OF the town to the department at
Washington asking that Best should have
that protection Of the laws and treaties guar
antied to all citizens.
