Ear and Nose Piercing.

The ornaments put through the
walls OF the nose vary greatly.
There may be but one perforation in
each wall or there may be several.
In New Zealand flowers. in New
Guinea a boar's tusk, in the Solomon
Islands crabs claw, in New Britain
thorns, set upright, are the objects
thus worn. These are all original
and primitive; after the natives
come in contact with whites, these
give place to metals, buttons and
rings.
In the Sturgis collection is a
rather pretty nose ornament from
New Guinea. 1t is V shaped, and
the arms fit by stud-shanks, one in
to each wall of the nose. Nose
ornaments were known to the Jew
ess of the exile-"And | will put a
jewel on thy nose"
The cheeks are pierced by some
Eskimos, who wear little round stud
buttons in the holes.
Ears are pierced the world over.
A few cases must suffice. Schwein-
furth says that Babucker women
pierce the rim of the ears repeatedly
and wear therein bits of straw an
inch in length having twenty such,
perhaps, in each ear. This repeated
piercing of the ear is common
among barbarous people, and we
have seen women of the Sac and
Fox Indians who wore seven brass
rings i'll one ear.
Ears may be slit and stretched in
stead of pierced. They then hang
IN long loops. Catlin gives a
picture of an Indian whose beauty
had been increased in this way.
The Anchorite Islander Sits his ears
while the Fijian often has them slit
and stretched to such an extent that
the two fists may be placed in the
openings.
Slit ears may be of practical use.
The Kaffir carries his snuff-box in
his ear-hole, and Captain Cook figures
a Mangeia Islander who carried a
large knife in his right ear.

with remarkable tenacity, contin-
ued the chase all through that night
and the succeeding day until even
ing, when the hunter reached the
Ohio.
AT this very moment the Indians
were so close that, although so ex-
hausted that he could hardly stand,
Cassidy plunged into the river and
commenced swimming across
When in the center, his strength
began to give way, and he felt he
should never be able to reach the
other shore. But he struggled des-
perately, and his strokes grew
weaker and weaker, until, in dis
pair, he dropped his feet, intending
to sink to the bottom and drown.
But as he did so, he touched bot
tom, and, with renewed hope, he
waded to land, where seeking some
safe place he threw himself upon
the ground, so jaded and worn out
that, had the bloodhound bayed a
few rods behind him, he would have
attempted to go no farther. When
he awoke, it was broad daylight,
and his limbs were so stiffened that
he could barely walk; but the pur-
suit was now ended, and he timed
his progress to his strength, and,
at the end of three days, reached
his home.
The Captain Cassidy of whom
the above incident is told, was, as
we limited at the commencement of
our sketch, prominent man OH
our frontier. He settled within
a short distance Of where Flemings-
burg now stands, the place called
Cassady's Station in honor of him.
AT one time he represented his
county in the Legislature, with
great ability and credit, and there
are many living at this day who re-
member well the valiant defender
of the border.
