INDIAN LEGENDS
A New Ons as Recently Told by Buffalo
Biii.

"The Indian legends and traditions
arc without number and as odd as they
are original, "said Buffalo Bill. About
thequeerest and at the same time most
interesting tradition ever heard is that
which some Of the Sioux give for the
food. They all know about the food
Noah's food.
''One day a party Of scouts and my
self were crossing the alkali plains Of
Dakota. We had with Ms a half-dozen
Indians. Al a certain place In the bed
OF a creek. whose name | have now for
gotten, we came across the remains OF
what the scientific man In our party
declared was the hipbone OF one Of an
extinct race OF mastodons. Much doubt
was expressed. One held cne opinion
and another a different one, until final
ly we laid the matter before Cha-gre-
unsk-a, Flashing Antelope, Sioux In
dian. Oh, yes, he knew what that
bone was. II was the thigh bone OF the
Umlugug race, and thereupon he told
Us this story:
Years and years ago, long before
the white man and the Indian had set
tied this country, there lived race OF
giants. They were as tall as the high
est pine trees and 80 strong that the
wild beasts OF the desert fed in terror
at their approach. The great buffaloes
feared them. for frequently an Umlugug
would pick one up, tear shoulder
from its socket and eat II for breakfast
in about the same way one eats to-day
q quairs wing or leg. They were a
very powerful race. So powerful that
they became insolent even toward the
great spirit. They would chat him,
and sneer at him and say: You can
not harm us, we are the strongest OF
the earth So insulting did the I'm
lugugs become that the great spirit
decided to destroy them. And he
called up all his clouds from their
Businesses among the mountains and he
caused them 10 descend upon the
valleys, where the Umlugugs had their
huts. And it began TO rain. And it
rained until all the valleys filed with
water and the giants rushed TO the
mesas. But it still rained more, until
the mesas and all the table lands dis
appeared under water. Still the rain
fell. At last even the tallest mountain
peaks disappeared under water and all
the Umlugugs were drowned, Then
the great spirit created another race
the present one. And the bone you
now hold is the thigh bone OF one Of
the drowned Umlugugs.
Such" said Buffalo Bill, 'fs tho

An Iron watch.

At the mechanical fair held at Wor-
certershire England, Browther Bros.
exhibited a watch in perfect running
order, constructed wholly Of iron. The
object OF this curiosity was to illustrate
the malleability Of iron and its conse-
quent adaptation TO a wide variety Of
novel uses. Such articles when made
of iron, may be easily electro-plated
with gold or silver or adorned with all
the beauty Of the enaneller's art.

1rhe Humu,ing bird.

These little sunbeams Of birds, as
the Western Indians call them, are
only found In North and South America
and the islands adjacent. They are
more thickly distributed in the equa-
torial section, and are there known as
sun birds" The peculiar and often
beautiful formation, and the iIidescent
coloratiOn OF their plumage, are char
aeteristics that excite the wonder and
admiration OF all observers, naturalists
and laymen. The long-tailed hUmming
bird Of Jamaica (Tr0chilus Polytmus)
Is more trauscendent in beauty Of form
and color than the celebrated emerald
Paradise bird Of New Guinea.
Whilst In their daring fight some of
the wading birds cleaye their way
through the clouds and sweep whole
hemisphere a little family OF humming
birds have only rose bush for their
universe. Like an elegant vase orna-
nlented with lichens, a downy nest OF
cotton is balanced on the extremity OF
the most slender branch Of the plant
whilst these aerial diamonds make prey
Of the insects which the flowers attract,
or drink the pearls Of dew which their
petals distil. Such, Pouchet tells US. is
the life Of the sparkling-tailed hum
ming bird. In the same manner, ac-
cording 10 Gould, the "emeralds of
Brazil" as they are commonly called,
robed in changing green, set up their
family nest upon the slender, pendent
stems Of the creepers, from the vicinity
of which they never move. Rocked by
the zephyr, the female broods TRANQUILITY

happy daysof the gentle paif.-Oliyer

Fortune Telling by the Finger Nails.

Fortune telling by means Of the fin
ger nails, onychomancy, as 1t is called,
was not uncommon In ancient times.
The practice was 10 rub the nails with
oil and SCOT or wax, and TO hold up the
nails, thus prepared, against the sun,
and upon the transparent, horny sub
stance were supposed TO appear figures
or characters which gave the answer
required. In more recent times people
have been found predicting by means
Of the nails of the hand and telling the
disposition of persons with certain
descriptions Of nails. However absurd
1t may appear, we shall give examples

listen to him where his Democratic oppo-
nent has thousands. The people do not
care to listen to such stale and oft-ex-
ploded arguments" as he advanced at
Bellaire last night. Such bugaboos as
''free trade" and the immediate ruina-
ton of American industry should the
Democrats win, and the like, have long
since ceased to brighten the people. But
they are all MCKINLEY has to fall
back on. he must keep on repeating
them over and over, or say nothing, for
Gov. CAMPBELL has cut the tariff ground
completely from under him. That the
Major appreciates this fact and is dis
heartened at the prospect was evidenced
by his closing remarks last night. de
told his Republican friends that if they
thought they could not elect both him
and the Legislature to sacrifice him.
Hopeful candidates don't give that
sort of advice.
Has the Major his eye on the United
States Senatorship in the event OF his
defeat for Governor ?

AN INTERESTING INTERVIEW.

Gov. FLEMING has been giving a
Pittsburgh reporter some valuable in
formation regarding the enormous and
varied wealth of West Virginia and the
great trade advantages Pittsburgh
would gain through railroad connection
with Fairmont, which the Governor
describes as the northern key to this
vast storehouse Of Natures riches.
The interview is given much promi-
hence and bristles with points Of inter
est for capitalists and railroad men in
Pittsburg, and In Wheeling, too. The
salient points the REGISTER reproduces
this morning. 10 will be strange if
Pittsburg capital is not spurred to in
creased efforts in the way Of reaching
out after a share Of the trade Of this
rich country.
Here our proposed road to COnnells-
Vile would come in just at the right
place. Should Pittsburg build a con-
necuon TO Fairmont Wheeling could tap
# and divert 10 this city her proper
share of this valuable trade and rich
raw material. This Connellsville road
should be pushed ahead as fast as possi-
bic. If we get there before Pittsburg
so much the better for US. At any rate
Wheeling cannot afford to be behind
Fittsburg.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1891-10-23

for the purposes Of the gas works, it is
the opinion Of the REGISTER that the
Trustees made mistake In rejecting
the Monongah company's bid, more
especially since that bid was the lowest,
even though it might have necessitated
the waving OF other points.
Wheeling certainly should patronize
the industries Of her own State in pref
erence to those of any other State, and
it is to be regretted, as Mr.. CAMDEN
takes occasion to point out, that Wheel
ing in general, as regards her industries,
is among the last Of the industrial cen
tres to patronize the coal fields of her
own State, or to acknowledge their
equality, il not superiority, to those Of
other States. Usage, habit and IN
familiarity with West Vlrglnia's newly
developed resources have much to do
with this state Of affairs, but it should
not be so. II is poor advertisements
our great resources and natural wealth
that we, ourselves, give them the go-by
and compel our rich mines and coke
furnaces TO seek the patronage and ap-
probation they deserve in other States.

THE EAST LIVERPOOL PorrERs.

Gov. CAMPBELL stated that the East
Liverpool potters were the poorest-pald
and the worst-off class of workmen in
Ohio. MCKINLEY and his organs took
this up and twisted it around into an in
suit to the East Liverpool potters, and
MCKINLEY ATTEMPTED to show they were
the contrary. This morning the REG
IsTER reproduces from the East Liver
pool Crisis that papers view OF the sub
ject. The Crisis is published right
in the midst of these workmen,
whom MCKINLEY says CAMPBELL
has insulted; it depends on them for its
patronage, and it certainly would not
endorse an insult to them. The Crisis
supports Gov. CAMPBELL's statement as
to the condition of the East Liverpool
potters in every particular, and reviews
at length the subject Of wages and the
tariff as it applies to the pottery indus
try Of East Liverpool.
As the tariff has gone up wages have
gone down.
The manufacturers receive enough
protection to pay double the wages they
do, and under the Mills bill, which the
Republicans absurdly termed "free
trade measure" they were given much
more protection than the wages they
paid called for. All this is down in
black and white and is not to be dis
puted.
Gov. CAMPBELL's statement regarding
the condition of the East Liverpool
potters was based on the report of Ohio
State Commissioner Of Labor FAssETT,
who is a strong partisan Republican.
To secure his information Mr.. FAssETT
had to threaten several of the
manufacturers with arrest, before they
would open their books to him.
Must not MCKINLEY in his campaign
be reduced to sore straits when he Is
compelled to step down from the high
plane upon which he began his canvass
and abandon truth and fairness for de-
ception and falsehood? Major MoKIN-
LEY poses as the friend of the potters,
but the Crisis recalls the time, in 1882,
when MCKINLEY refused to express
himself as to their right to organize for
mutual protection and told them he
could do without their votes. But he
was mistaken, for he was defeated.

How to Ride a Swimming Horsei
Perm d,f Csre,s JHlnnirs.


To begin with, 1t must not be sup
posed that a horse always swims natur-
ally, and with ease, the moment he is
of his feet IN water. The animal, I'M
der such circumstances, has but one no.
ton, to keep his head out Of the water,
and to lift his shoulders as high as pos
sible.
In doing this his hind quarters sink,
and he finds himself almost standing
upon his tail, or at least in position
three-QuarterS erect.
In such d position, If the rider draws
upon his reins, or throws his body back
in the least, the animals hind quarters
will sink more and more, his body will
take a vertical position, and, beating the
water uselessly with his forefeet, he will
finally sink.
As soon rs the horse gets off his feet
in the water, let the rider grasp hand
full of the animals name, leaning at the
same time well forward upon his shoul-
der, but without touching the horses
head The riders knees should be
pressed tightly to the horses sides,
otherwise he is likely TO be swept of by
the water.
This is the only position which will
enable man 10 remain in the saddle
and the horse to swim at the same time.
The reins must be held loosely and
each we'll to one side. II the horse is to
be guided in the water give the loose
rein a little jerk in the direction desired.
But il is In the highest degree important
never TO pull on the reins.

Pennsylvania coal.

a higher price, but takes It for granted
they had reasons which were satisfae-

the power Of protecting the wearer from

it also keeps OF insanity. Amber, too,
