A sad Tragedy occurred here some years ago
when the steamship Circassian grounded of the
Shinnecocl1 Reservation. In those days the best
men Of the Indian reservation had been whalers
or sailors of some kind, and ten of the strongest
and best among them went out In boats to assist
the crew in getting of the vessel. The weather
was fair the vessel was only hard aground, and
there seemed no danger. To facilitate the work
the wreckers slept on board. In the night
mighty storm arose; all night long the wind
howled, the ocean Numbered against the shore
ard the poor women waited and watched. And
in the early morning. said one Of the widows,
"a man came galloping on horse from South
ampton TO say the steamer had gone to pieces
and all hands were lost. The captain and his
sailors, with their homes far away, and these poor
bread-wnners here were gone, leaving ten stricken
households ON the reservation.
Returning to Canoe Place and crossing the tiny
future. we find ourselves in q unique and peculiar
region. Fancy great sandhills with sharp ascents
and descents like a miniature mountain range,
their altitude varying from 100 to GO feet above
the level of the two bays, and so narrow that the
waters are within easy reach on either side.
Some of these hills are covered with luxuriant
vegetation, and Others look weird and almost
volcanic with great patches OF grayish sage
growing down the crater-like hOllows. On one
side of these Wild picturesque hills are the waters

is one grand old torso Of Hercules, the colossal
fgurehead Of the worn-ouu warship Ohio. 1t was
evidently carved by no mean hand, and not even
the vestges of the old gaudy paint can spoil
the dignity Of the head and fine face. We have
often wondered who carved the really noble piece;
perhaps some noted sculptor for much-needed
pot-boer, or some young genius who aftcrward
rose to fame. 1t is easy to fancy stories about
the artist and also about the igurehead itself that

scandal and gossip of the day, both domestic
and foreign. Is to be found there in its best and
most detailed form, yet even that scarcely con-
stitutes a compensation for the departed glories
of the clubs cuisine. which at one time was the
most famous in London. The Windham. too
which was once renowned for the excellence OF its
table, has been going rapidly down hill In TINS
respect The Marlborough Club, in Pail Mall Is
indebted, like the st. James's, for its foundation
to pique and offended vanity. 1t was started by
tive Prince of Wales in 1859. in q moment of
intense disgust at finding that one Of his favories
whom he had proposed in person at Whites, had
been subjected to the ignominy Of not one, but
several blackbals. For O time it was quite the
smartest club in London, and during the season
H. r. H. scarcely allowed day to pass without
going there for O game of whist or ecarte. But
when its members. unmindful Of the uncertainty
of Royal favor, presumed to display their In
dependence by pilling candidate sponsored by the
Prince, the latter set his face against the in
