Rules Under Which One of the Prinei-

.Iohn \. Miller. Of Fort Reno. o. T.,
willie seated in a group at the Laclede
hotel, pugilism being the topic of con-
versatson. said
when you talk about a fight to a
dnish and knockout blows, both are
witnessed in the aboriginal degree of
perfection when a fight between two
Indian bucks is seen in a ring, the cir
cumstanees of which is not a rope, but
a string Ct interested human spectators.
Il is a fact that among Indians of the
same tribe. though they may number
thousands. there are few cases Of quar-
rels among them that ever result in
murder. This is strange when il is re-
memberud that the Indian is passion
ate. uncontrolled in his impulses. cruel
and ferucious by nature. They have
their difficulties and quarrels, however,
but arbitration Of the old men pre-
ents bloodshed or murder.
YET once in a while a Sight occurs,
and il is a novel sight &c witness. One
buck challenges another to combat,
and. accompanied by their friends TO
the battle ground. each buck is stripped

tured art schools among the pale faces
and made 10 confront the other. Be
tween them lies a wal club-a smooth,
long piece of hard wood, seasoned by
years of service and regarded "a a sort
of mascot because of the blood stains
on it received during wal.
The seconds of the surly looking
duelists toss up a piece Of bark on the
wet or the dry principle, when boys
long ago chose sides in playing town
ball. The winner picks up the club,
and his opponent, folding his arms,
sturdily plants himself. bending his
head. 1t is the club bearers privilege
to whack his antagonist just as hard as
be can and with all the vigorous mali
ciousness he can command on the
back. 1t is a foul blow to strike above
or below the back.
''One blow is struck, and then the
man who has endured it picks up the
club. and his opponent is subjected to
all the force he can command. So the
whacking goes on, and almost every
blow is a knock down one, until the
duelist last knocked down rises TO his
feet and refuses TO accept the club
from his opponent. He has had enough
and the party breaks up.

The shaking was effective, for al
though they did not find her purse the
identical single stone diamond ring
rolled out from her skirts. A neigh
boring jeweler soon put all doubts to
rest as to its genuineness by v~aluing it
at thirty pounds, and so far the late
owner has not advertised that he is
anxious to return her purse, which con
tanned forty shillings in gold, for the
diamond ring. As l have said. the

A Lake Under a cornaeId.

A traveller who has visited Bib
county, Ala, says that near a place
called Six Mile creek he came across a
field Of two or three acres which is over
a subterranean lake. The soil is only
three or four feet thick. and you can
take a sharp pole and drive it through
to the water beneath. Half a dozen
men jumping up and down at once in
any particular spot will make the corn
stalks tremble for ten or twelve feet
around.
In the driest seasons that patch Of
ground is always damp, not TO say wet,
and it can be distinguished from the
rest of the field by the luIuriant dark
green of the corn planted on it. In
one place a well has been dug to the
water, and they say a 10O-foot line
failed to reach the bottom. The water
Is clear and as cold as that of an ordi-
nary spring. but there seems to be no

When the theaAer was founded in

Thf boy came in modestly, with
chalk and paper, and in a few minutes
had drawn a picture Of their son, on
which the parents looked with wonder.

years of age, was dining at Delmonico's

company, among whom were Generals

Sheridan. At 10 o'clock, when the fes-
tivities were at their height, the old sd-
miral arose from the table and called
for his hat and coat. All were sur
prisad at his action and asked for an
explanation. He replied that he never
permitted enjoyment to interfere with
Ills health, and that 10 o'clock was a
good hour for him to retire.
All present laughed heartily, chaffed
him a little and begged him to remain.

remain. After bidding them good
