QUEER FISH.
An East Indian Species That Goes About
on Dry Land.

An East Indian Species That Goes About
on Dry Land.
During my military career, said Col.
G.. l.. Courtney, an ex-oflicer of the
British army" according to the ST.
Louis Globe-Democrat, Il frequently
visited the East Indies and many n
curious animal have seen.
'Of all these strange animals | think
the most peculiar I ever came across
was Il fish which belonged to the perch
species and which is quite common in
that locality. These fish are in the
habit of leaving the water for hours
ut time. They wander about through
the grass and can live for a week in the
open air. Jugglcrs make use of them
in the performance of some of their
curious exhibitions, which appeared to
be beyond the hope of n reasonable OK
PLANTATION till science demonstrated
that these fishes have provision in
their structure for carrying water
enough to meet the demands of the cir
culation several days in succession
while out of the water While wan
dering about on land they subsist on
the insects and worms which happen TO
fall within their reach"

THE MOQUi INDIANS.
Cfvilzed Methods of the Whites OSiectct
to by Blanket Indians.


Capt. Constant Williams, of the
Seventh infantry, forwarded to the
headq uarters of the department of Col
orado the particulars of the trouble with
the Moqui Indians. The Moqui Indians
ore few in number, and dwell in the
mountains of Arizona, about one hun
dred and fifty miles from Fort Win
gate, the nearest military post They
are peaceful and Industrious tribe,
but ignorant of all matters outside of
their own little villages. 1t is even said
they believe they are the only people
In the world with the exception of four
companies of United States cavalry
that appeared on the occasion of their
last outbreak. Gov. Solomai obtained
some progressive ideas from visit to
Washington with two other MoQuiS
about ten years ago. On his return he
described the immense numbers of peo-
pie, the railroads and gigantic build
ings he had seen. The Indians, think
ing he was crazy, placed him in con
finemeht for some time. Solomai has
never abandoned his desire for reform,
and has quietly gathered about him
followers that comprise about one
third of the NJ oquis. Capt Williams,
TO ascertain the cause of the disturb
ance, visited the villages, and found
that it arose from second attempt of
Solomai to adopt the customs of the
palefaoes. A meeting of the two fac
tions was held in the square of the vii
lage, and the chiefs of the contending
factions stated their case Gov. Solo
mai said he wanted his children to go
school and be brought up as white
children are. When he and the others
had done this the hostiles had raised
objections, had seized some of their
cornfields, and threatened TO seize
others They had even gone so far as
to threaten to eXpcl them from the
town. So Solomai had asked for the
cavalry to be sent The hostiles num-
bered about two-thirds of the tribe,
and they were led by one Lomahun-
gyoma. They were OPP posed to progress
of any kind, and wanted to follow in
the steps of their forefathcrs.
After Solomai had finished his speech
their chief rose to reply. He substan-
italy admitted the truth of Solomais
statement, saying that he and his fol-
lowers did not want to be civilized or
have their children go to school, or to
wear white mems clothing or to eat
white mems food. They hnd seized the
fields ut Moencopee because they had
belonged to them in former years ond
had been unlaw fully taken away. In
the spring he intended to take rway
more of the fields of the followers of
Solomai. He also added that the diff
Guilty could be settled in no other way
than by the coming of United States
troops. Therefore, Capt. Williams said
that he had deemed it necessary to ask
for two troops of the United States cav
airy TO be sent there 1t is believed
that the trouble will be over in few
days. but it will take some time for the
news TO arrive, as the Indians are a
considerable distance from any town
Army officers say that they are the
most religious people in the world
and honorable and upright in all their
dealings. They speak language of
their own, but each separate village
has q dialect which they alone undar-

SAVED HIS BURNING SHIP.
An American Captains Novel Plan for
Saving Vessel and Cargo

An American Captains Novel Plan for
Saving Vessel and Cargo.
One of the most brilliant pieces of
communicating seamanship ON record,
whereby the vessel. far ont in the At
lantic, with her cargo on fire. was
saved and brought safely to port, was
performed on board the American ship
John Jay, commanded by Capt Samuel
jackson, says lIarper's Young People.
When two weeks out the cargo was
discovered to be on fire. The captain
determined upon his course of action.
He had the carpenter lowered over the
rail and instructed him to bore several
holes low down by the water line. The
vessel WAS then put on the other tack
so that she would be hecled over on
the sides where the holes had been
made. The water shot through these
openings, and after the ship had been
allowed to sink almost to the level of
the deck she was put around on the
other tack again, SO that the holes
came within two or three feet of the
top of the water. Several of the sail
ors, with lines made fast under their
arms, and holding long wooden pegs
and hammers, slid down along the side.
stcadying themselves by ropes that had
been passed under the vessel and
hauled taut, so that they came along
side of the holes. The tapcrng pins
were thrust into the openings and
knocked tight, then the vessel was put
before the wind to get an even keel,
and the crew turned TO and pumped
her out
