AN INDIAN SCARE.
Tale of the Early Settlement of New
Gloucester, Me.

a Tale of the Early Settlement of New
Gloucester, Me.
When fear stands at ones elbow 1t is easy
te find dangers ahead. In the early settle
ment CT New Gloucester, Me-. a block-house
was found necessary in which the people
could assemble for safety and mutual de-
fehse against the Indians. runs sketch in
the Youths Companion. 1t was understood.
says one OF the early settlers, that if any one
saw Indians about he should sound an alarm
OF tie tin horn, and the folks should get to
the block-house as quickly as possible. One
fall we were kept pretty well stirred up by
the redskins ugly pranks.
Two men were killed and Scalped on the
outskirts OF the town and their horses car
ried off A child was lost in some way, and
most people laid it to the skulkng savages,
who, they supposed, had stolen her. A
house was fred in the next settlement and
everything carried away, and We expected
mischief any minute.
0Be afternoon In October. about dusk,
there came a sudden and tremendous horn
blowing. That meant the Indians were
near. Folks stopped whatever they were
doing and hurried to the blOck-house-nen,
women and children. TIE horn blown that
way brought persons heart into his mouth
When we were all inside and the great
door was shut, we began to inquire what
was up. and who had seen any Indians. A
had given the alarm, aud now said that he
saw an indian in tree reconnoitering not
a dozen rods from the block-house He
made no doubt the rest of the party were
near, and he had been afraid we would be
attacked before we could all get inside the
Dlock-house.
The guns were ready, and the men took
up their stations at the loopholes, and we
waited and watched ior long time. Some
were sure they could make out, by the
moon, that the redskn was sim in the tree.
'He doesn't dare to get down." said one
and another, "for fear he'll get peppered."
Some were for firing at the tree. but the
older ones said we had better wait and not
be the first to shed blood, and this wise
counsel prevailed. l have noticed, all
through my life, that it is always never best
to be the first TO start a fuss.
Finally Ben Hammond, who had been
covering that tree with his gun, turned sud-
denly round and declared that he was going
out to get higher view of that redSkin.
The women were dreadfully scared and
begged him not to be rash. But Ben smiled,
unbolted the door and went out
He went close up to the tree and burstOut
laughing heartily.
Come out here" he shouted, taud see this
Indian up tree"
The Indian In that tree was only a hear
cub. But to pay for our scare we had plenty
OF bear meat in the settlement for week

For Boston Beauties.

We are almost daily in receipt of letters
from the overcrowded Eastern States, ask
ing: DO you think can get married If [

ten by widows, old maids, cross-eyed girls
and grass-wiveS and we wish to state here
and now that this town offers them greater
advantages in this direction than any other
in the West. Out of population of over
1000 we have only thirty-three women, and
seven OF them are over so years old. Wen
bet dollar to a cent all day long that 800
Eastern females can find husbands here in
twenty-four hours, says the Arizona Kicker
IL 1t was known that there was a consign-
ment on the way, one-half cur population
would ride fifty miles on mueback to get
the first pick.
Women are not asked to come out here to
be criticized and elbOwed around. We do
not believe there is man in this town who
would not jump at the chance of Offering his
heart to red-headed girl with cataract in
each eye and wart on every finger. We
have contended all along that what this
town wants NEST is not a boom in real
estate to benefit few, but ten carloads of
women from Boston TO benefit the many.
Their influence would soon be felt here, aud
there would be a moral backing which We
can never secure without their presence.

But 1t May Be Hard to Convince the Court
That Martha Story Was Thus Injured.
There's two sides to every story" said
John ii. Cochran, whose brother Charles is
alleged to have brutaIly beaten and kicked
MS cousin, Martha Story, and Tor whose ar
rest on charge of assault to murder war
rant was sworn out Saturday.
AS stated in the dispatches, we live In
SausalitO, and Mrs. Spize and Miss Story
are our neighbors. On the 23d of last
month they came TO our house and accused
my mother Of having spread evil reports
about them. Although my mother denied
the allegation, they used threatening Ian
guage. During the quarrel my brother
charles entered the house and threatened
to throw both Mrs Seize and Miss Story ont
II they did not stop their abusive talk.
MISS Story dared him to do it, and when he
started toward her she ran against DUMP
handle and received the internal Injuries
that he Is accused of having inflicted.
Charles was never engaged TO Miss
Story and was not Jealous of her as stated
In the papers. Joseph Malone the man to
whom she was engaged, has since caused
Charles considerable trouble. Malone had
Charles arrested for battery, but Justice
Sinpton released him on his own recogni-
zance' When Miss Story''s condition be-
came worse he was again ordered into
custody and released on 500 bonds. A few
DAYS later ha was arrested a third time but
again secured his release by furnishing
bonds in $1,000. Then there was anothec
kick and the bail was increased TO $1,000
When Charles heard Saturday that a war
rant had been sworn out, charging him
with assault to murder, he decided to make
himself scarce TO prevent still further perse-
cution. He will show up when wanted for
trial and perhaps before if the bonds are
fixed in reasonable figure. He has not
jumped his bonds, because my father,
mother and myself are his suretiesn

Fragrance of the Water Lilies That Make
Tadpo1e Pond Sheet of White.
The most wonderful lily pond in the coun-
try is near Plainfeld, Conn, and is called
Tadpole Pond. 1t is still sheet Of water,
one mile in diameter. among tile wild Sc
cluded hills. ami its surface is a vast bou-
quet of lovely pond lilies. So thickly are
the lilies tangled together that when they
are in bloom in July. one crossing the lake
barely has glimpse of the water. The
lilies are now in full bloom, and the lake
seems TO be a sheet of DoGding pink aud
white petals. When the wind is strong and
the lilies are open the perfume of them is
perceptible quarter of mile from the
brink of the pond.
The railroad crosses the lake on low
causeway, and when a train dashes on the
causeway 100 windows fly up, and scores of
passengers gaze at the novel and beautiful
spectacle, utter!ng eXclamatinns of wonder
and delight. In the season boys and men
do lively business gathering the lilies by
the bushel and wagon load. and selling them
in punches in the cities.-Pittsbu Dis

THE SILVER ISSUE.
Mr.. Cleveland's Nomination Impossible From
His Stand on This Question.

His Stand on This Question.
WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Morgan
has just reached Washington from his home
in Alabama and talks freely about political
topics and the impression gathered in the
South, where he has been since the adjourn
ment of Congress. He does not believe that
Cleveland will be nominated. There is,"
he said, IAN earnest and patriotic feeling
growing among the people of the
South in regard to the Presidential
campaign next year. They feel grateful to
him for having given them chance for this
wonderful prosperity they are developing;
have perfect confidence In his integrity and
fidelity to Democratic principles and poll
ces; are proud Of his administration; agree
with him in the suggestions OF his tariff
message to Congress, and, believing this
way, they are very deeply attached to him
and would give him up with great reluctance.
" The Southern people," continued Nor
gan, regard antagoni,m 10 remonetiZing
silver ana its free coinage as blow to the
rights secured them by the Constitution.
They have always been thorough them
selves in this respect, and have acted upon
principle rather than preference to mere
eXpedient, and regard the refusal Of the
men in their party to restore silver
to its proper functions and rights as
a denial of one OF the fundamental doc
triues of the Democratic party. They de-
plore the apparent opposition of Cleveland to
free coinage Of silver and its reconciliation
almost as calamity. They might lie will
ing TO delay final demand for the free
coinage of silver. bnt it would be with
great reluctance. This is the doctrine and
the purpose of the Democratic party. and
those who think that Democracy will ield
are altogether mistaken"

The Effects of Heavy Shower OF Rain
Upon 1t.
The heavy rain on the afternoon of July
4th was the cause of much excitement in
Waterbury. A dealer in sponges, with his
stock in trade on his back, was walking
through the principal streets when the
shower came on. He was not dressed Ia
holiday attire, so he did not mind tine rain,
but his load of sponges evidently enjoyed
the shower. They swallowed every drop
that fell upon them, and pretty soon they
began TO swell. The faster the rain fell
the bigger grew the sponges. until finally
they took up tile larger half OF the
sidewalk. A policeman whose coat
sleeve had been dampened by coming in
contact with the mass of sponges ordered
the man to walk in the middle Of the street.
He obeyed, but this only made matters
worse. His pack grew larger and larger,
until the peddler looked like a gigantic
walking mushroom. Carriage horses were
frightened at the sight, and even street-ear
horses, which rarely pay attention to any
thing but the conductors signal, turned ont
for him and drew the cars off the track.
Dogs ran after the man and made life mis-
erable for him by shifting at his heels aud
barking People stood totally oblivlnus to
the heavy rainfall and laughed until the

disaster On the newfoundland coast the
schooner Publico Belle being wrecked and
two women and five children lost Captain
Samuel Butts Of the lost vessel states that
the Publico Belle with a crew of four men
left Catalina on the morning of Wednesday,
the Sth inst, bound for st. John with a
cargo of lumber. She had also on board five
women and five children as passengers.
There came on storm of wind and rain
from II 80 O'clock Wednesday night until
daylight Thursday morning The vessel lost
her mainSaii and fOresail successively, and
ran ashore on a cliff at 2:30 O'clock Thurs
day morning. The crew let go an anchor
which checked the vessel, but the chain
parted William Rose jumped ashore, and
the captain threw line to him. By this
means the rest of the crew got ashore.
The following passengers were saved:
Mrs. Rachel Burton, Miss Julia Burton and
Miss Wells.
Mrs. Freeman and Miss Caroline Higgins
and five children were drowned.
Miss Wells writes: 81 was sitting on the
locker and Miss Higgins was lying on
part of it. All the others. the children in
cluded, were in their berths. One of the
crew came down for rope and we asked
him if there was a chance to be saved. He
said Yes; don't say anything, it will be all
right The water was then coming through
the cabin floor and was soon up to the lock-
ers. All the children were taken out of
their berths and got ready to start for the
deck. We were close into land, but heavy
sea was breaking over the rocks.
when we reached the deck two of the
crew were ashore, having taken off their
boots and jumped on to the rocks. One old
man had tied rope around his waist, the
other end being held by a sailor on the
rocks. He jumred and got ashore. The
captain was the only man then left on
board. We all went over 10 the side where
he was. and he tied rope around Miss
Burton, and she was landed safely. While
in the act of placing a rope around Mrs.
Burton heavy sea came and washed all off
the deck. l caught the end Of a rope which
was in the captains hand, and was
hauled ashore with him, While wave
washed Mrs. Button upon the rock, but
never saw Mrs. Freeman or Miss Higgins
after. Mrs. Freeman would, IN all proba
biIity, have been saved mad she abandoned
her child, but the mothers love was too
strong"
Miss Wells also told a story of severe
privations met with before the party finally
came across some men, one OF whom took
them to his home and cared for them. She
adds thatit is her belief that all could have
been saved had they been warned sooner.
