NOBLE RED MEN.
The Seminole a Very Decent Indiana Pure
Race.

The Seminole Very Decent Indiana Pure
Race.
Unquestionably the Seminole is a very de.
cent lndian-save when he has been drinking
cider with little Jamaica ginger in it ia
trader told me that was the formula )-and
their squaws are models of wOmanly virtue
and industry
That the race remains pure Notwithstanding
the inroadS of civilization" is due to the
severity of the punishment of those of either
sex who are guilty of breach of the law, for
chastity is prescribed by their religion, and the
penalty is death says a writer in Scrl6Rer'S.
In late years they are pushing deeper into
the glades, as the footsteps of the white man
encroach upon their domain. They live upon
game, fruits and the products of their agricul-
ture though many wants must be supplied at
the trading-posts or stores in the settlements,
with money or through barter.
For many years the trade in alligator skins
and the plumage of birds has been a great
source of revenue to them. but the alligators
are almost extermnated, and the bird laws are
now so strictly enforced that the trader no
longer dares to buy their plumes and wings, at
least in paying quantity.
They still bring in game aud turtles, and a
few alligator skins, or mOccasins and other
rude manufactures but every year it grows
harder and harder for them to get money; and,
as if to add insult to injury, some of their most
fertile keys have recently been homesteaded
by white men, after the Indians had titled the
soil for years
The women are dressed neatly-I was told
that many own wing-machines-and they
show a degree of taste in the fashioning of
their garments. Although a Seminole OF either
Sex has little love for a camera, Mrs. Dodge was
able to secure nearly dozen fine negatives
chiefly of Indian women.

A LOST PEOPLE.
The Relies of a Lost Race Discovered on the
Coast of Brittany.

Coast of Brittany.
[Goldi,paites Geographical Hagazinel
4 lady whose home is in the South of Franco
writes OF visit she made recently to an island
on the coast Of Brittany. Those of you who
have read the story of King Arthur and his
knights will remember that they started out
over the sea in pursuit of the dragon. In this
the Morbihan sea-is little island which can
be reached from the mainland only when the
water is smooth. The sole inhabitant is a
Breton shepherd, who lives in little hut and
spends his time in caring for his sheep. The
party landed, aud were met by the kiud-faced
old man, who led them over the grassy slope
where his flock was feeding, and showed them
the way around hill, On the east side of
which they found an entrance to tunnel.
This extended some distance aud its foor
sides and roof were made of immense fiat
pieces of stone covered with bieroglypbics and
figures Looking somewhat like wreaths and
again like coiled serpents." At the end of this
tunnel was a hall, also fOored. rooted, and
walled with the same curious stones, and in
the center was an altar aud a stone upon
which il is thought that human sacrifices have
been offered. The strangest part of all is that
no stones or rocks like those used in this tun-
nel can be found on the island, and at no place
nearer than 100 miles inland. Who brought
them? How did they come? There is no
record left-at least none has been found, to tell
who these people We're or anything about them.
They must have lived many centuries ago,
but have vanished entirely, yet their work is
as perfect apparently as when first built.
1t Is thought that they may have been
Druids, who came here when they left Great
Britain; others, again, think that they were
worshipers of the serpent god called Hoa. But
it is conjecture. All we know is that the stones
are here, strangely carved, sklllfuly put to-
gether, but of their builders there is no trace.

Twenty years ago a lady lived here. She
was very nervous old body and there came
the news one evening. as / was sitting with
her, that the house next door had been robbed.
THAT very day she had drawn large sum
of money out of the bank, and this report of
burglars scared her horribly.

what was intended to be pathetic glance round
the room, his eyes lingering especially long
upon the dinner table.

end of his cigar out through the open window.

years ago TO dig up your buried treasurer"
"a month after / hid il sailed for Australia,
and l only returned to England a few weeks
ago." promptly replied the seedy man.
Then what makes you come to me now?"
continued the city gentleman. People are
not usually so honest. Why did you not come
in the night and dig up the money yourself
and quietly carry it Off"
Because, sir" repiied Mr. Priddy with a

The 18th Mass. was swung forward along
the line of the woods on the top of the bluff,
at an angle of quite SO degrees to the forces
occupying the left, which brought them in
position almost facing down the line, and
enabled them to see every movement of the
enemy to the extreme left of their line. If
we had held this position from the COM
mencement of the fighting (about 3 o'clock)
until about sunset, we could have held it
until after dark, and as l claimed in my
first article, our forces could have recrossed
during the night to Harrison Island, if not
TO the Maryland shore.
