QUEER USES OF Stills.
Employed in Eighteenth Century
Journeys by the French.
Gsscony Shepherds Who WaIksa On Tnsu
All Day Long Without Dismount-
inR-Feats Of Wonderful
Agility.

The custom OF walking upon stills
dates from the earliest times, and in tho
art there have been some distinguished
professors who have attained q remark
able degree of proficiency. Some of
them have danced upon tight rope like
regular acrobats. In the eighteenth
century, at Namur, in France, silt COM
bats were favorite game among tho
young men Most of these silt fights
took place during the fetes Of the carni-
val and other great occasions The
Marechal Sake was In 174S entertained
with one of these Journeys In describ-
ing one of these combats Harper's
Young People says five or six hundred
young men were divided into two OPP
posing bands, formed themselves into
brigades, wearing costumes of different
colors. and advanced against each other.
The stills were about four feet high.
The combatants carried no weapons-it
was against the rules to do so-they
had their elbows and their stills, by a
vigorous use Of which they did their
best to place their enemies hors de COM
bat The struggle often lasted for two
hours, the combatants swaying from
side to side, advancing, retreating,
crouching toward the earth, or spring.
ing up to avoid a well-aimed blow. The
battles often waxed hot and furious,
but did not by any means necessarily
result in the death of those engaged in
It, As long as it lasted the flags of the
rival factions foated from the windows
Of the town hall The spectators, many
of them women, did all they could by
their presence, cries and gestures to ex-
cite the combatants to further exer-
tons.
From one of their silt fights the
Namurois won privilege the inn
portance of which they have never
ceased to appreciate. Archduke Al
bert, of Austria, at his entrance into
the low countries, was greeted by the
governor of Namur, who promised to
bring before him two troops of war
riors who, without being either on foot
or on horseback, would afford him the
spectacle Of new mode of fighting"
The archduke was so much charmed
with the exhibition that he accorded to
the inhabitants of the town the privi-
lege of being exempt perpetually from
the duties on beer.
In Gascony the Landez shepherds
used stills so as to be sufficiently high
1y perched to be able to survey their
focfs scattered among the heath and
brushwood. The stills they used were
very high; they mounted them early in
the morning and did not quit their ele-
waited position until evening. In order
to get upon them they climbed the roof
Of stable or the window of house.
The stills were furnished with rests
like stirrups for the feet, and the lower
ends were shod with bone to keep the
wood from being worn down or broken.
They were attached to the thigh in
such a way as to permit the knees be-
ing freely bent. Each man was further
provided with a long pole, which he
used for climbing up to his position and
for support when he wished to rest
These shepherds moved with wonderful
agility. clearing hedges and wide
bitches without difficulty.

they have ever been faithful and friendly

have never raised the tOmahawk to shed

Senator Dawes says it is 4 source OF
great satisfaction to see the progress that
has been made in the civilization of the
Indians. It is his belief that all savage
instincts of the red man can be eliminated
in time through schools and coming in
contact with civilized beings. habits and
customs. 1t can not be done in few
years of schooling but it may take genera
tons to accomplish it. The Indians who
have spent few years in schools have
shown improvements. devoting much of
their time to agriculture and giving up
lawlessness
*Pat Hennessey was freighter who was
hauling army supplies over the old Cald-
we'll and Fort Reno trail, where be was
attacked by Indians and captured after a
hard fight. The red fiends tied him to his
own wagon wheel. and after piling bacon
around him burned him alive. This oc-
Cured early in the seventies. His bones
were found and buried. The grave is
about two and one-half miles from the
north line of Oklahoma on the beautiful
table lands known as "Hennessey's Flats
and near where the town OF Hennessey
now stands.
The Minco Minstrel says: We can hear
nothing from the Indian commission at
Fort Sill more than the general report
that they are using the time in counsel
with the chiefs of the Kiowa and Conan
che tribes. with some hope of succeeding.
We are also told that the younger men,
bers of the tribes want to take their allot-
ments and live like white people. The
friendship shown them by the neig hboring
white people will soon convince them that
no reason exists for distrust of white
mems motives. A conspicuous trait of the
Indians character is that he makes up his
mind slowly, and some time must neces-
sarily be spent in waiting for them to get
the various sides of the matter turned to
the light. We must therefore be patient
aud hope for the best.

Whatever may be said of DR.. John
ston's dennnciation of Cahensleyism in
his address in New York it will
not be denied, by Protestants,
and Catholics, that his points in
relation TO the innovation pro-
posed by this latter day policy of inter-
fering with the obligations and duties of
new citizens coming to this country. are
well taken. We want no state church
nor church state in this country, and
any move that has even the semblapce
of such purpose or design deserves to be
kept under the strictest moral surveil-
lance.

OKLAHOMA OUTLINES.
Oklahoma.


Oklahoma magic namely
Such thy beauty, such thy fame,
Many thousands eager press
To thy lonely wilderness.
Now they're waiting by thy sido
Like curbed Ocean-tide;
For all barriers roll away
On this lovely April day.
Represented every state
In this throng that, patient wait
For the longed for, looked for sign
Bidding them to ''crosS the line"
Footmen, horsemen. have their part,
Wagon, buggy, surrey, cart,
Ok and pony, mule and horse,
Wait, as on a great race course.
While before from side to side
Bearded, bronZed, troopers ride;
And their bugler waits apart
To give signal for the start.
Now the hour is drawing near.
Until high, and sharp, and clear
Rings the thrilling bugle blast,
For the time has come-at last.
Shotguns boom, and bullets zip;
Cheer, and yell. and crack of whip;
OF they go. at headlong pace,
In helter-skelter race.
On they rush, like ocean-wave,
Down past poor Pat Hennessy's grave,
Scatter out TO left and right
Unit! all are lost to sight.
Save. on every claim in view
Stationed one man (sometiInes two),
And not one viii yield his right,
Willing for that claim to fight.
Thus, we now will leave them there
On the prairie green and fair,
Driving stakes which bear their names,
And rejoicing DER their claims.

Governor Anthony IN Harper County.
From the Anthony Republican.

The attempt of l. p. Campbell, Peo-
pies party lawyer of Wichita, to connect
Ex-Governor Anthony with the fraudu-
lent organization of Harper county,
shows that the tide which has set in for
the grand old man as against the rebel
colonel, has greatly alarmed the bosses
of the new combination. The facts are
that Governor Anthony had nothing
whatever to do with the fraudulent or
ganization of the county. The county
was organized under Gov. Osborn, in
1878, with Bluff City as the temporary
county seat.

STILL SHE is UNKNOWN.
Various Attempts to Establish the
Identity of the Vanderbilt" Girl.

The mystery surrounding miss Carrie
May Theokore Vanderbilt" remains as
dense and impenetrable as ever.
Last night "A gentleman who came from
New York on the same boat. visited
the Oyerseers of the Poor and told
him that he observed the girl
as she embarked from the boat at
at New York. The statement made
by him corresponded with that made by
Miss Carrie and during the visit of lady
passenger who had become interested in
the young girl on the boat, the truth of
her statements was established beyond u
doubt; that is, her story rs TO what tran
spired just previous TO and during her
passage from New York TO this city.
Joseph Wheeler, proprietor of the Musee
hotel thought he recognized in her, girl
who once frequented the Westminster
theatre, but could not be sure OF it,.
Neither could Mr.. Munroe, the stage
manager.
1t was thought that she might be iden-
tical with Miss Deedy of 43 Bacon street,
who is now at the State Asylum and who
once called herself Carrie Vandibilt, but
the latter is. unfortunately for the theory
still at ghe asylum.

SALISBURY IS SULKY
at the Suggestion That the Liberals

LONDON, March 26-It is stated to-day
that Lord Salisbury is more than ever
determined not TO renew the modus

Liberals on his Behring Sea policy has
-uufy strengthened his -elsstiHaey iH- titis
respect He believes that he will be sus,
tanned by the country in refusing 10 ac-
cede To Americas demand
Almost the entire strength of the British
Pacific Squadron will be near Behring Sea
when the Canadian sealers open their sea
son their, and the war ships will be ready
20 carry out any plan Salisbury may de
termine upon. A part of the Chinese
squadron will be sent that way before
June.
There is no doubt that ins tructions have
been cabled TO Admiral Hotham TO go
North earlier than usual.
The Liberals and Mr.. Gladstone have
represented. 60 the government that any
hostile encounter between the ma.
val forces OF the United States and
Great Britain would be fatal to Irish
home rule, as the English masses would
hold the Irish in America responsible for
the action of the Washington govern
ment, aud have their animosity aroused
against the whole Irish people. Mr.. Glad
stone, always inclined To piece, had al
ready perceived this danger of the stua-
tion before be was approached, and was
more than willing To lead in the course
shat would prevent such result.
