a lock of her beautiful golden brown
hair. During the succeeding winter,
which he spent at his home, he received
the news that the young lady of his
heart had turned tickle and was allow
ing another the honor of her company
to village merry-maling.
In his despair he and friend named
Colby, who was afterwards killed in
the war, bored three-quarter inch
hole into white birch tree then about
five inches through, put the hair in and
drove home after it pine plug. The
next summer he went back to Nova
Scotia and married the fair Deborah, in
triumph over his rival, and brought her
to the states, where he afterwards died
lie never thought it necessary to re-
claim the hair, and there it remained
for year after year, the tree waxing
large and strong, and covering over
with its white wood and paper bark
the precious token hid in it's bosom.
Last winter Mr.. Edwin Smith, who
now owns the old Marshall farm, cut
the tree for firewood., In splitting the
wood the AK happened to lay the tree
open exactly on pine plug, with lock
OF beautiful hair behind it. The outside
end OF the plug was covered by three
inches of solid wood, which consisted
OF thirty-seven annual rings. The hair
and plug are now in possession of Mrs.
Margaret Turner, of Isle au Haute, Me-.

romance, who is now Mrs. Saunders, of

there are upward Of fifty thousand of
them. He began about five years ago
to collect five-dollar bills containing
the signatures OF the different national
bank presidents of the United States.
He has now nearly two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars tied up in this
queer scheme, and declares that his
collection is not complete by MANY
thousands of dollars yet. He is
willing to give one hundred dollars for
a five-dollar bill bearing the signature
OF Walter Ross Raymond, who was at

One of the most noticeable results of

he is not understood. To patient who

asked to have the window shut when
he meant to say: "Fetch me some wa

in such troubles, says the New York
Tribune, related the following incident:
"a prominent man in Boston, who had
a slight shock but who apparently had
quite recovered, wished some nails and
went INTO hardware shop to purchase
them. L want a dozen or so of arch.
angels, he said to the somewhat mysti-
fed clerk. 'We do not keep them, SIR
was the response. That is odd,' said
Mr.. b, and he went into another
shop and asked again for archangels
Again the smiling clerk told him that
they did not have them. Quite vexed
at his failure to procure such simple
things as some small nails, he tried the
third time with like result, and finally
gave it up in despair. 4 never saw any
thing like the stupidity of these shop

The Legend of the Revolving Rock O,
,i~'" Normandy.
Superstitions about rocks, which 1varo
once popular among the peasant classes
OF Europe, are dying out. The familiar
legend is of n rock which, moved at n
certain time by some strange witch
craft, revolves or rolls aside and dis
closes treasure hidden beneath. the
time usually being specially inconvcn-
lent for witnesses, as for instance. son

peculiar story of this kind is still told
In Normandy. M. Julien Tiersot writes
of it in the Revue des Traditions POM

In the neighborhood of Caudbec-en.
Caux there is stone which, the coun.
try people say, revolves while the bells
ring the Angelus at noon on Good Fri

readily consents to go and see the al-
legged magical stone.
The stranger and his escort reach the
stone and wait. Time passes. 1t is af-

PlOCHE. NEVADA, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 90 1881,
Fashion-Loving Sou lws.

John 0. Doyle, who has charge OF
fe9HTva ton in Indian TERRITORY, saws
5ha Indian women are as great stick.
- for fashion as. any dame of Pari-
ian boulevard. This year nothing but
pea-green umbrella or parasol will
suit the squaws, and the bucks will
have nothing but blue umbrellas.
Every Indian squaw and buck is so
equipped, and the effect is quite bril-
liant. Last year nothing but red, white
and blue umbrellas were in requisition,
and this year the Indian traders got in
a big supply of the variegated sun pro-
tectors, but the Indians would not have
them, and green and blue had to be
supplied as the fashionable colors. 1t
is the same way as to calicoes. One
season one print prevails and whole
tribe is dressed in it.. the men shirted
and the women petticoated, and the
next season the same gaudy coIors and
figures are looked upon with disgust.

N Zulu Warrior Who Now Handles n
Broom Instead of an Asscgai.
Among the queer odds and ends of
humanity that have lodged hereabouts,
says the New York Sun, none is queer
er than certain Zulu who may be
seen any morning at the Court Street
station of the Kings County Elevated
road, where he now pursues the peace
full occupation of porter. The gentle
man may be recognized from the other
Africans by huge topknot of natural
wool which began to grow many years
ago in his native land He also wears
pair of large goggles through which
his eyes gaze with an appearance of
great restfulness.
The Zulu is put down on the pay rolls
OF the company as Thomas Murphy.
When he is at home in Zululand he is
called Quongo Perceriah. Mr.. Murphy
says he was born in Gilou in 1850. He
came to this country with Chief Two
Strike, and was exhibited by Barnum
for several years as native warrior,
which he was. He also whistled.
lie says that in his native undress
with an assegai in hand, he is imposp
to see. In the course of his wander
lngs he came upon an American ne
gress, whom he loved and By whom he
was loved with a passion all too fierc,
for lasting. They separated, but not
before he had got good vocabulary OF
English words. OF the nine years eff
his living away from Zululand six Wa,
spent in museums. The last tl'
years Mr. Murphy has earned his livl

NATURES WONDERS.
The strange Intelligence of Brainless
Creatures,

The strange Intelligence of Brainless
Creatures.
1t is not often that we find animals
giving mutual aid, except in the line of
their domestic duties To meet with
instances of helpfulness in creatures SO
low in the scale as are the ''sea-urch-
ins" on our coast is really remarkable.
Prof. Elder, of Colby university, com
municates to London Nature what he
observed amoug the echini of Casco
bay.
Among the specimens brought back
from one excursion were four of the
common cchini. The last one taken
had been left exposed to the sun some
time before it was noticed and properly
cared for.
These four animals were placed alone
in small aquarium, and, as we wished
to study their action, each was turned
mouth up. Soon the action began. with
which every naturalist is familiar. and
three of the captives slowly rose on
edge, and then deliberately lowered
themselves into the normal position.
The fourth, the injured one, made
much less rapid progress; all it could
achieve was slight tipping on it's disk.
The two nearest echini, from six to
eight inches distant, now moved up
and stationed themselves on opposite
sides of their disabled comrade.
Fastening their tentacles for a oull.
they steadily raised the helpless urchin
in the direction in which it had started.
AS soon as it was possible, one of the
helpers moved underneath the edge of
the disk on the aboral back side, and
when the half-turn was accomplished,
the other took station on the oral side.
gradually moving back as the object of
so much solicitude was gently lowered
TO the position nature had made most
convenient.

it is free from even the suspicion of

pronounced through their delegates
at the convention.
The gentlemen composing the
ticket are too well known in every

personal mention at our hands.

their character for intelligence, in
