Mature deliberation: Planning 4
meet Q note.
The Portland daily press., 1893-09-29

Secretary Bryant, of the Maine Histori-
cal Society, who visited the spot yester-
day, offers an explanation which seems
the most natural. He thinks the body
that of some French officer, who was
killed while leading an Indian party
against the English settlements of this
bay. Bereft of their leader, and quite
likely pursued, the savages hastily
scooped out the shallow grave, very like
ly with their tomahawks and knives,
crowded the body of their leader into it,
placed his sword upon his breast, as their
only tribute of esteem, and then con-
tinued their flight.
The body was laid upon its left side, it's
head towards the west and it's legs bent
double at the knees SO as to enable it to
be crowded into the grave.
Without sound of drum or of funeral
note and very likely by the amoon-
beams misty light" the body was proba-
bly, buried. Lie the one for whom these
lines were written, he may, and quite
likely was, young man of name, culture
and social position-one of the brilliant
band of young Frenchmen who played so
romantic and cruel part in the old
forest wars
DR.. Crawford no titled Mayor Baxter of
the discovery he had made, and the latter
visited the grave yesterday, and was
much interested as he has made special
study of the history of the locality.

of the PRESS, took photographs of the
remains, and anyone interested may see

MUST COST SOMETHING.
Nelson Breaks Up Three Bicycle sulkies
in One Day.

It must have cost G. Fl. Nelson some
thing for repairs on sulkies at Rochester
Tuesday, according to the report OF local
horsemsn who were there.
Nelson was driving Amber and Amber
was acting badly. --.sssShe made some very
ragged breaks and Nelson would saw her
from one side of the track to the other.
Nelson was pretty well to the rear most
of the time or he would have done more
damage, but as it was he ran down
Frank Fox and also Maxwell, the driver
ef~Oahdale dot. Maxwell's sulky was
broken down, but Fox got out OF it all
right. Besides this Nelson broke up two
sulzies belonging to himself and tore
the tires off from sulky belonging to l..
R.True, which he borrowed of John
Haines. AS bicycle sulkies are more ex-
pensive than fashionable carriages. Nell
SON lost that day considerable more than
he won in the race, as he failed to get
any part of the money.

They Were Dry.

Some men will find a humorous side
to anything, no matter how serious or
pathetic it may be.
During the summer and autumn of
1881 all northern Arkansas was visited
BY terrible drought. The grass was
withered, streams dried up and cattle
had become SO thin and weak they
could hardly walk. Many of them
were actually starving.
One day, in time of the drought, a
farmer entered one of the stores at
Pocahontas and asked the proprietor il
he was buying dry hides.
''Oh, yes" said the merchant, 1--WE
pay from eight to ten cents per pound
for Gerry dry hides"
WAL" replied the farmer, 'that's
very good price. Mines rery dry, an if
they're able to walk / 'spect I'll drive
EN- down tomorrow" - Arkansaw

Ancient Way to Force Confessions.

In a remote village in Hungary a
husband and his wife were found muir

arrested confessed the deed but stated
that three OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of the
old couple-had persuaded him to muir
der them and had divided the spoils-
something like five hundred pounds
with him. These three brothers were
Immediately arrested. The Judge, our
Vienna correspondent says, did an un-
usual thing on the day of the funeral.
He brought them in chains to the
churchyard, placed them near the open
grave and babe the priest in his address
praise the good qualities of the victims
and end with the startling words: 'And
here stand their vile murderers at their
grave" This was done and the judge
in the meantime watched the three
brothers faces to see if they looked
guilty. This form of examination caused
some Indignation among the people Of
the neighborhood.-Lon News.

But 1t Was No Wonder She Didn't Under
stand Why She Had To.
The chiropodist had just moved into
his new Broadway parlors. Before his
arrival they had been occupied by a
dentist.
Though as yet ne white marble foot
upon the pavement informed the I'M
initiated that within dwelt an operator
upon corns and bunions at reasonable
rate, yet such was the case.
A rushing business had been in prog
ress all the morning. At noon the
chiropodist, a rather timid and youth
disappearing man, started to go out to
his lunch when the door opened and a
young girl inquired if the doctor was
in. She was about ten years old, and
with her was a young woman about
twenty, evidently her maid.
''Doctor," said the child, 'syou helped
me so much six months ago that mamma
suggested that bring Nora down here.
She is in very great pain
The doctor did not quite recall what
work he had done for the child, but
politely requested Nora to walk into
the operating room and get ready.
This, in the language of the chiropo-
dist, means to remove the shoe and
stocking.
The child seated herself in the outer
parlor. and the chiropodist, after wait
ing the usual time, walked into the
little room where Nora was awaiting
him.
There she sat leaning back in the big
chair with nervous expression upon
her face, but without any change in
her attire. The doctor was a trifle
surprised, but he supposed this was
new experience to his patient.
"Just remove your shoe and stock
ing, please" he said as he walked over
to the window.
Nora absolutely grew pale with fright,
but complied with his request, taking
off both shoes and both stockings.
She was a very unhappy looking
young woman as she sat there IN the
high operating chair with both bare
feet dangling just above the floor.
''Now, where do you feel the greatest
pain?" asked the doctor.
Nora threw her head back. opened
her expansive mouth very wide and
pointing with one of her fat, red fin
gers to wisdom tooth on her upper
jaw exclaimed:
'There, doctor. Oh! it's something
awful. IN. Y. World.

Guiana Indian Customs.

About nine miles above Akyma is a
large village of aboriginal Maucuisi
Indians. They are said to be peacea-
BILE savages, who build little grass huts
and go about in puris naturalibus.
Among their singular customs is that
of bandaging the legs just below the
knee and around the ankle, so as to
produce an abnormally large calf, be-
ginning the practice in infancy, as the
Flathead Indians do with their heads
and the Chinese with their feet. Dame
Fashion dictates strange things even
in these remote parts. Their neigh
bors, the Caribs, follow her DEGREES by
making pincushion of the lower lip,
by sticking into it several long, slender
pins of bone or steel, resembling knit
ting needles, or sharp thorns where
pins are unobtainable, which they re-
move for the exigencies of eating and
kissing and afterward return to the
same place.-Philadelph Record.

The water hen, which is found from
Siberia to the Capes, seems able to
adapt itself, like human being, to
any climate. An English lady, having
fed hen and her mate, had the pair
for regular visitors. They became quite
tame, built their nest in thorn-bush
covered with ivy, which had fallen
into the water, and, when the young
were a few days old, the parents
brought them up close to the drawing
room window, where they were daily
fed with wheat; and as the lady of the
house paid them the greatest attention,
they learned to look upon her as their
natural protectress and friend-so
much SO that one bird in particular,
which was much prosecuted by the rest,
would, when attacked, fly to her for
refuge. Whenever she called the whole
flock, as tame as barnyard fowls,
quilted the water and assembled
around to the number of seventeen.
They also made other friends in the
dogs belonging to the family, approach
ing them without fear, though hurry
ing off with great alarm on the appear
ance of strange dog.-Golden Days.
