CHILDISH HARDSHIPS.
f"Wiid Life" Described by an Educated
Indian.

Indian.
Dne of the earliest recollections of
adventurous childhood is the ride 1
mad on pony's side. Itseems strange
TO think of riding in this manner;
nevertheless, the Indian mode of life
made it possible. l was passive in the
whole matter. A little girl cousin of
mine was put in bag and suspended
from the horn of an Indian saddle; but
her weight must be balanced, or the
saddle would not remain on the ami
mails back. Therefore, also was put
lntS sack, and made to keep both the
saddle and the girl in their proper po-
sitiol l scarcely objected to the man
ner O. the ride, for l had a very pleas
ant game of peek-a-boo with the little
girl, until we came to big snowdrift,
where the poor beast was stuck fast
and began to lie down. Then it was
not so nice!
This was the convenient and primi-
tive way in which some mothers packed
their children for winter journeys.
However cold the weather might be,
the inmate of the tur-lined sack was
usually very comfortable-at least l
used to think so. l believe l was
treated to all the precarious Indian
conveyances, and, as a boy, enjoyed
the dog-travois ride as much as any.
These travois consisted of set of raw
hide strips securely lashed to the tent
les, which were harnessed to the
sides of the animal as if he stood be-
tween shafts, while the free ends were
allowed to drag on the ground Both
ponies and large kind of dogs were
used as beasts of burden, and they car
ried in this way the smaller children
as well as the baggage.
This mode of travelling for children
was possible only during the summer;
and as the dogs were sometimes unre-
liable, the little ones were exposed to
certain amount of danger For in
stance, whenever train of dogs had
been travelling for a long time, almost
perishing with thetheat and their heavy
loads, glimpse of water would cause
them to forget everything else for it.
Some of them, in spite of the screams
of the women, would swim with their
burdens into the cooling stream, and |
was thus not infrequently compelled
to partake of an unwilling bath.-St.

DEERlNG FLATS.
The Claim of Moore and Wright vs.. Jacob
p. Shattuck.

A hearing took place yesterday before the
commissioners at the City Building on the
petition of Moore and Wright, the we'll
known contractors for government work.
against Jacob +. Shattuck for the division
of the flats in Deering, adjacent to Tukey's
bridge, which is OWED in common and I'M
divided The lot contains about two hundred
and thirty thousand feet. and it is proposed
to divide them by line to be run parallel
with Tukey's bridge, from Water street to
low water. The defendant contends that
the half next to the bridge is much more
yaluable than the easterly half and that If
the lot is to be divided equally as to terri
tory he should be awarded at least $500 to
equalize the values. On the part of the
petitioners it is claimed that the fact that
Mr.. Shattuck owns wharf adjacent to the
easterly half and the fact that the grade Of
Tukey's bridge adjoining this property is to
be raised from six to ten feet renders the
west half of no moro value than the easter
ly half. The commissioners appointed by the
Supreme Judicial court are Banjamin

THE ICE CARNIVAL.
MI. Cyrus f. StackpOle Outlines the
Plans of the Affair.

A Castle In the Oaks, Arches Over the
Street, Trades Procession and Many
Games and Sports.
The winter carnival, which the PRESS
has already referred to, is promoted mot
by Montreal man, but by Mr.. Cyrus
f. Stackpole, of Bangor. Mr. .Stackpole
managed the very successful carnival
held in Bangor several years ago. They
had there toboggan slides, winter sports
and trades procession mile long, but
no ice palace. There has been some doubt
heretofore about the success of an ice
palace in this latitude, but Mr.. Stackpole
said yesterday that he had settled that
question. From the Weather Bureau
here he had obtained the records of
winter temperature for more than a
dozen years back These records he sent
on to the architects of the Montreal ice
palaces, and asked their opinion about
the advisability Of trying an ice struc-
ture here. Their reply was that they saw
no difficulty in the way, provided the
winter should not be an exception to the
rule.
Mr.. Stack pole has also conferred with
Mr.. D. W. Clark, the veteran ice dealer.
The ice cutting time for many years has
been from the last of December to the
first of February. These conditions have
led Mr.. Stacpkole to fix January 12th as
the date of the carnival.
Mr.. Stacpkole does not propose that the
edifice of ice shall attempt to vie with
the grand palaces OF the large Canadian
cities. That would be impossible. but
there can be constructed very hand
some ice castle. Deering's Oaks is con-
sidered the proper location for the castle,
and Mayor Baxter has requested Park
Commissioner Smith to select proper
site.
the Carnival would be eight thousand
dollars, and Mr.. Stackpole is quite conf
dent that he will make a success of it.
Governor Cleaves and Mayor Baxter have
each expressed an interest. in the UNDER
taking.
ne ice IOr bQ6 CHSUlo Will pIODdDlJ 10
brought from Lake Sebago and neigh
boring ponds.
Mr.. Staokpole says that he would have
the events of the carnival arranged in &C
cordance with the plans adopted in the
Canadian cities A storming of the ice
castle by local military, toboggan slides,
snowshoeing, the game of curly, races,
and finally grand trades procession
would be the order. On the principal
streets ice arches would be erected. An
ice maze, or labyrinth, would also be
feature, prizes being offered to those who
should find the centre.
In order to teach the Maine people
some of the sports appropriate to the
carnival, Mr.. Stackpoleswould have pres
emit some of the snowshnoe clubs and to-
bogganers from Canada.
Such is the Esattractiye prospect OUT
lined by Mr.. Stackpole. He feels sure
that the plan will succeed if be can be
supported properly in Portland.
