To listen to seductive strains of melody
Blown out from horns by mouths

And hear the howls of purchased
eloquence.

And waited but the prodigals return,

The borrowed banners from Iberia's

Did mark the confines of the Lottery

Where flowed the golden Book, the

Which was to oil the lusty throats of
those
Who were to sing our needs in plain
tive tone
And chant of Morris generosity.
AS said before, twas past the hour of
noon
When Ogden rose. The orb of day
abashed,
Eclipsed, sought refuge meath a cloud,
Nor dared to boldly look upon his
knightly form
Except he robed his eyes in glasses
green.
The multitude in breathless silence
stood
And gazed upon his towering form,
his flashing eye
While fear clutched at the Ants hearts.
With sweeping glance he scanned the
motley crowd,
And with majestic stride he turned
him round,
That all might view the noble cavalier
Who followed in Westchesters giided
train.
A deadly pause, and tlen-he spoke.
A tremor through the thousands ran, -
AS whensome sudden gust from Polar
Seas
Inyades the sleeping realm of forest
Then bough and branch with many

Bend to the sceptre OF rude Boreas,
So swayed the concourse at his silvery
tones.

While he did speak these words of
arrogance
His voice thousand modulations took
Until the very stream which rippled by
Did CEASE to flow; and from its depths
The hideous crocodile in leathery

And perched upon the bank to better

The wondrous accents of his mellow

So low indeed, that cen the crocodile

And with his left paw to his ear, to catch
The waning sibilations Of ''cerulean

The Sacred Drum of the Indian.

The North American Indians, whose
legends IRE most interesting mine of
strange traditions, make the drum the in
strument of the angels. A tired hunter,
once lost on the plains and overcome with
fatigue and despair, lay down on the
sward and fell asleep; when, behold, in
his dream he saw the heavens open and a
car made of offers descending from the
sky with inconceivable rapidity. In the
car were twelve beautiful girls with golden
wings, who played celestial music upon
drums of gold. Among them was his dead
wife, thus sent to him by the Great Spirit
TO show him the right way out of the laby-
rinthine prairie. She directed him, point
ing with her drumstick, in the way in
which he should go. The car flew up, the
hunter awoke and the heavens were re-
sounding with the drums of the celestial
maidens and Of the angels in the vaults
above.
A strange pendant TO this tale, denoting
still more strkingly the sanctity Of the in
strumept is to be found in another Indian
legend supplemented by practice. At
stated festivals among certain tribes the
elders OF the tribe produce four sacred
drums filed with water. Into these they
affirm the waters Of the world subsidized
after the deluge. They beat upon them,
they say, to initiate the action Of the Great
Spirit, who 10y this simple musical means
divided the earth from the waters and re-
stored order 20 the flooded globe,-Cham-

a Pile of stones Covers the Place Whore
He Essayed to Build IA Castle.
After Ole Bull had fiddled his way into
the hearts of the American people and had
accumulated large fortune he undertook
to carry out long cherished dream. He
wished to establish colony of his country
men in America, and for this purpose he
bought, in 1859, over Il, 600 acres of land in
the unbroken wilderness of Potter county,
Pa.
Ole Bull located 800 Norwegians and
Danes on his possessions. The price he
paid for his lands was about $4,000 1t
was his intention to found four towns
These were Walhalla, New Bergen, New
Norway and Oleona They were laid out
with a view to the future and work was
commenced Mr.. Bull also began work on
n castle a mile or two from Oleona, which
was to be a pretentous structure for the
lord of the colony, Each settler was pro
vided n plot of ground and set to work.
Unfortunately for the success of the col
ony, Ole Bah had no knack of protecting
himself against INSCRIPTIONS sharpers,
and his lands were found to be involved in
such a manner that questions arose as to
the titles Thus it came about that in
also compelled to undergo a good many
privations which they were unaccustomed
to- The great trees which stood in the
way Of cultivation of the soil presented
nm obstacle they did not know how to re-
move. They grubbed the forests out with
mattocks instead of telling the trees with
axes. The hardships of the wilderness
and Of the pioneers life discouraged them.
In year or two the colonsts had nearly
all scattered, the most of them going to
Wisconsin and the northwest, and Mr..
Bull, disheartened, his property gone and
the savings Of his lifetime gone with his
youth, left his colony and his cherished
hopes and returned with his violin to en-
terrain the people again with his une-
qualed music
Walhalla ard New Norway fell into de-
cay, the castle was abaudoned-an unfin-
ished pile of rocks-and the lands passed
into the hands of William Radde who sub
sequently founded a German settlement,
which was more successful.
OF the Ole Bull colony a few remained
at Oleona, which is Il thriving hamlet New
Bergen is also still a wayside settlement.
A few of the colonsts survive, but the
founder, Ole Bull, died in Norway.
When the colony was first projected It
may be expected that Ole Bull had great
many friends who wished him unbounded
prosperity and success. From these friends
came TO the colonists donations of machn-
cry, appliances, stock, etc, A notable gift
was from Henry Clay the distinguished
kentuckian, who sent a number of fine
Kentucky cattle and horses from his fine
place at Ashland. Bradford Pa.) Era.

A Buffalo Bone Hunter Responsible for q
Great Prairie Fire.
ELLENDALE, N. D., Oct. IN. L.
Sherman, just arrived from the Mis-
souri, river country, one hundred miles
Yves. of here, confirms the reports of the
very destructive fire in Emmons county
last week, and tells of still greater
conhagration on the prairies west of the
Missouri river. He states that fire
ragged there for several days and burned
over region 300 miles long and
200 miles wide, destroying immense
quantities Of hay belonging to
farmers, ranchmen and Indians;
also burning and stampeding beyond
recovery many valuable herds of horses,
cattle and sheep, and probably resulting
in the loss of many human lives, though
nothing authentic on that score is yet
ascertainable. The region that was
swept over by the flames is described as
q vast plain of death and desolation, the
awfulness of which can in some measure
be felt when standing alone in its midst,
but which no words can describe. The
fire is said to have been started by a
buffalo bone picker that he might be
the better able to find the object of his
search. Realizing the calamity he had
been the cause of, he is said to have fed.
A price has been set upon his head, and
if caught he will die at the end Of a

Welcome Rains.

OLD MILE Laos RESERVATION, Mimi,
Oct. 2.--Until the flooding of Saturday
night the heavy fires have been raging
in the Old Mile Laos Reservation pine
forests since the 10th inst, burning over
about two townships, and destroying
about 100000 feet of pine timber, a
large amount of hay and great many
settlers houses. The fires started in
many places at the same time, on the
night Of the 23d inst, and seemingly
signal shots were heard from many
quarters. 1t is the general belief that
the Indians set the fires to burn the pine,
hay and settlers houses. The Indians
protected some of the maple sugar belts
near the lake, where all their sugar
camps are 81 gated, as they are told by
traders and Indian sympathizers, that
they can take their allotments on all
lands adjoining the lake regardless of the
settlers claims.
