CORN. TOBACCO AND BEANS.
Legend Told by Iowa Indians Regarding
the Origin of the Three.

Legend Told by Iowa Indians Regarding
the Origin of the Three.
Among the many curious myths
and traditions Of tho Saukee and
Musquakee Indians of Iowa none are
more singular than the combination
legend which relates the story of the
origin Of corn, tobacco and beans.
The story, as told Colonel Davenport
(the founder of the city of the same
nancy by the head chief of the allied
tribes and reproduced by the ST. Louis
Republic, is as follows: In a time
many moons past the Indian ate only
meat and roots. Two mighty hunters
were n day sitting by a fire on the
great prairies roasting their meat
(venison), when they were greatly
astonished to see a beautiful squaw
descend from a many-tinted evening
cloud which was hanging over the
west and alight upon the smooth
sward neal by. The first idea that
struck the hunters was that she was
one of their ancestors who had taken
upon her: elf the task of acting as
guardian angel, and that if she had
made the trip from the .happy hunt!
ing grounds" as they verify believed
she had, she must be hungry, tired
and cold. She did not attempt to
approach the fire, however, and said
nothing until she had been approached
by one of the hunters, who proffered
her a good-sized slice Of the steaming
vension. Before accepting the food
she sat down upon the ground with
out moving her feet from the spot
where they had first com in con-
tact with the earth. While in the
act of seating herself the hunter
noticed that both hands fell help
lessly at her sides, making great
indentations in the soft earth. AS
soon as she recovered from what
appeared to be a fainting fit, result
ing from overfatigue, she most graci-
ously accepted the food, ate of it, and
almost Immediately started upon her
return trip to the clouds-not, how
ever, until she had promised to re-
ward the hunters for their kindness

Preparatory to her leave-taking she
informed her generous friends that if
they would return to that very spot
in one year they would find their re-
ward in waiting. Upon returning to
camp the hunters related the story
of their wonderful adventure with
"Ihe Woman of the Clouds and told
OF the promised reward-all of-which
was accepted with taunts and ieers.
During the following year they were
laughed at so often whenever refer
ence was made to the .reward' or

We're all but deferred from making
a journey in search Of a fulfllment
Of the promise. Finally, in, order not
to be subjects Of ridicule for the
whole village, they pretended to mcke
a hunting excursion in another direc-
tion, and then made a detour by way
OF the spot where they had met the
vision OF the skies. A wonderful sur
prise was In waiting The spot
where the specter sat while eating
the roast venison was overgrown
with tobacco; where her right hand
had rested when it fell seemingly
helpless to the ground corn had
sprung up in all profusion, and in
the ~indentation made by the left hand
upon the same occasion beans had
grown and were then hanging in a
multitude OF brown and golden clus-
ters. Where the feet of s.The Woman
of the Clouds" first touched when she
alighted before the astonished hunters
a year previous two springs of water
were gushing forth-one, cold and
sparkling, watered the Indian Eden;
the ether, which flowed in an oppo-
site direction to the first, was of a
turbid character, but sufficiently hot
to cook corn and beans. It is need
less to add that the two hunte.s had
a Thanksgiving then and there, and
that there was great Joy among all
the tribes when the news of the new
discovery spread over the country.

THE DURRANT MURDER TRIAL.
Gen Dickinson Made the Opening Ar~
gument for the Defense.

FAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct 25. Gen.
Dickinson made the opening argument
for the defense in the trial OF Theodore
Durrant to-day. He spoke from morn
ing until night and then announced that
he would not conclude bis argument un-
til court met next Tuesday.
Dickinson's speech vas in the nature
of surprise from the fact that he did
not a tack the integrity of the prosecu-
tons witnesses or denounce the methods
OF the police as Attorney Duprey init
mated would be done in his opening ad
dress to the jury. Nevertheless ID is
generally conceded he made the most Of
what is co sidered weak case.
He based his whole defense on the re-
liability of the roll call, which shows
that Durrant attended Dr. Oheney's lee
ture on the afternoon of April 3, and
challenged the prosecution to prove that
the call was incorrect. Mrs Leake and
Mrs. Orossett, the two elderly witnesses.
VINO testified that tney saw Durrant and
Miss Lamont near the church, were
treated gently.
Dickinson said that while be believed
the witnesses told what they believed to
be the truth, he was convinced that their
minds had been worked upon by reading
about the case. In support of this he
cited The fact that neither witness told
what she said she knew about the case
until three or four months after the crime
took place.
The testimony of Mrs. Vogel and the
school girls VINO swore they saw Durrant
and MISS Lamont board Powell street
car in front of the Normal school, was
dispo cd of In the same manner. Youth
and old age, he said, the two period in
life when people were the most positive
in their statement and the most likely
to be mistaken.

THE MARsHAL's BALL

Mr.. j. Crawford Biggs in Fitting
Terms Presents 10 the Chief Mar
shall, Mr.. Rufus L.. Patterson
--FOrty-fiVe Couples Participated
Mr.. Patterson as Chief.
There has been ever since the first
State Fair MarshaPs Ball on the Fri
day evening of Fair week, but it cannot
be said hat one more brilliant was ever
held in the Capital City The Marshals
we're present wearing their rosettes, and
4he young women were gowned in the
Eand5omest evening dresses. Seldom has
there been gathered together
such representatives of North Care
lima beauty and chivalry The German
was led by Mr. Henry Miller with Miss
S4llie Kenan, of Wilmington, and the
figures, led by this skillful and expert
eDced leader, were artistic in the first
degree. He was assisted by Mr.. George
Graham, of Hillsboro.
At II o'clock Maj Samuel F. Telfair,
in few pleasant words, introduced Mr..
]. Crawford Biggs, of Oxford, who had
been selected on the part of the marshaIs
to present to their chief, Mr. Rufus L.
Patterson, of Durham, handsome gold,
headed cane as a token of Their high
esteem and regard.
Mr.. Biggs arose and paid beautiful
tribute to the women of North Carolina
and to the States cbivalry. He Landed
the State Agricultural Society for the Sc
lection of so excellent a man as Col.
Julian s. Carr, of Durham, as president,
and then in a pleasant and delightful
manner delicately complimented him
for his choice of such a
Chief as Mr.. Patterson has made. No
Chief has ever done more or thrown
more enthusiasm into the work for the
good of the fair than Mr. Patterson, and
his assistants recognized his ability and
appreciated his sterling worth Mr. Biggs
closed his rem arks with compliment to
the social success, and looking around
him said: "Never has there been as
sembled together in the State a more
b3auti | representation OF her beautiful
women or chivalrOus men"
SIR. Patterson seemed deeply moved
by the feeling outwardly shown by the
marshals, and in brief speech thanked
his assistants.
Mr.. Patterson is a courteous aud
courtly gentleman and has won the es-
TEEN aud confidence of all with whom
he has come in contact, and though they
wish him all joy it was the regret of his
many friends that in fey weeks he will
be disqualified for service in 1896.
Much credit is due to Mr.. Patterson's
selections of his assistants, for the good
order kept at the grounds.
The whistle OF the ader soon sounded,
Hsygood's band played Dixie" and the
hall echoed and re echoed with applause
There was certain sadness which ran
into the hearts o. each one present when
the band played the first familiar strains
of Home, Sweet Home, and many true
friends parted probably never to meet
again.
During the latter part of the evening
the rosettes had been presented to the
chosen ones, and were worn by hem.
Bullet, who has waited ON the guests
of the Capital Club since its organization,
did himself proud this week, and has
been by small amounts presented with
new suit of clothes.

ATLANTA. Ga Oct. 25.

Out of the overthrow of an unique
and forceful civilization in the Southern
States there is slowly emerging new
society
Under the stern pressure Of necessity
this silent revolution has proceeded 50
quietly and has been masked so skill
fully by the marvellous material resur-
rection of a ru ned and conquered peo-
pie that men have not marked the clash
ing of old ideas and aspirations AMI
modes of thought with the new strenu
GUS influences of modernism and inn0-
walton. All the well known phenome-
ma of transition are in full play in
Southern life-the people as a whole,
melted by lack of training and conse-
quent poy rty, pres ing steadily toward
a wider life, bat unable to distinguish,
in the general clamor, the guidance of
true wisdom from the voice Of the slave
to his prejudice or his sect casting in
stumbling blocks, or the raw enthusiast
shouting panaceas and prophesying mill
leniums.
The direction and elevation of this
social new birth is the surprising duty
and function Of all educational rces,
and more especially Of the higher educa-
ton i'll Southern fe. Whether there
shall issue fIom the conflict an en-
lightened civilization blending the
lovableness and charm of the old nth
the vigor and freedom of the new, or
some unhappy system made up of crudi-
ties and ancient prejudices is the task
set for this generation of Southern
educated manhood.
Isolated, individual, conservative, the
South of the past held itself proudly
alOOf from the ferments Of modern so
ciety, went its own way and crea ed its
own dominant, dramatic order.
This order was system of contrasts
and lights and shadows. 1t produced
neither wealth nor letters. 1t dishonored
labor, arrested immigration minim zed
invention, unified industry and exalted
caste. The academies and private
schools OF the time conducted by
scholarly and devoted men were numer
GUS and effective, indeed almost perfect
instruments for the purposes of the time,
bnt the common schools, branded with
the burning badge of pauperism, could
not thrive. Yet there issued from this
order the smallest, the alertest, the most
powerful political force in Christendom.
The American Union had sprung from
their brains, bad been maintained by
