ROBINSON CRUsoE's ISLAND.
The Scene of the Immortal Romance of
Daniel De Foe.

The Scene of the Immortal Romance of
Daniel De Foe.
There has been received during the
past thirty days news from Chill which
will not be regarded as joyful intelligence
by the friends of Daniel De Foe. Poor
old Robinson Crusoe's hut on Juan Fer
nandeZ island is to be torn down, and in
its place will be erected a prison station,
to be used as an auxiliary to the Chris
tan penitentiary at Santiago.
Selkirk, it is said, used the top of this
bluff as a signal station, and for four
years he patiently watched for passing
ships. At the base of the cliff a long
reef runs seward, marked here and
there by sharp-pointed rocks over which
the surf dashes necessarily.
One word about Selkirk himself. Eng
lish record keepers and historians aver
that the man was seaman, who was
marooned for mutiny, but South Ameri-
cans claim that he deserted from an Eng
lish trader inbound to Valparaiso and. aft
er stealing 4 boat, sailed for what he
thought was the mainland. He landed
on Juan Fernandez, and there found a
semi-fertile island, visited frequently by
heavy rain showers, the home of water
fowl and anything but a tropical para
disc such as De Foe portrayed in his re-
markable record Of human imagina ton
The interior of the island was very rocky
and the flora and fauna Of the island were

The household of DR.. Sciple. who owns
a pretty little farm at Center Square,
Montgomery county, was greatly excited
the other day over the supposed discovery

The surface of q small stream which runs

Uses to Which the Different Parts OF

Probably few people who have read

Scientifque enumerates the uses to
which the different parts of the shark

never becomes turbid, and possesses me.

which He Left at Chlckamauga.
John Summons is a responsible man, a
good farmer, who stands high among his
neighbors, and whose reliability has new
er been brought into question. He was
brave soldier in the Confederate army,
and was one of those who participa ted in
the bloody tragedy on the banks OF
Chickamauga creek on the 18th of Sep.
TENDER. 1868. During the hottest of the
engagement Summons found himself i'll
an exposed position, with shot and shell
playing high revel around him. and he
sought such shelter as was afforded by
large oak tree which was in direct line
of the fire. While handling his piece a
bullet struck his gunlock and cut off
the first two joints of the forefnger of
his right hand as clean as a knife would
have done it. The dismembered finger
dropped among the leaves, and as he was
more particular about saving the balance
of his body than about rescuing as little
a thing as a missing finger. he made his
way out of the fight, stanching the bleed
ing hand as best he could.

difficulty in locating it, with all the scars

the flying missiles of death. Having
found the tree he put himself in the
same position in which he was standing
when wounded and then it occurred to
him to look for the bones of his missing
finger Scratching around among the
leaves, much to his astonishlnent he
found the bones where the finger had
fallen, and they corresponded exactly
with the finger he had lost. They had
lain there undisturbed ever since that
dread day, and it was with strange
feeling that he took them, and after es~
tablishing their identity to his perfec:
satisfaction, wrapped them UP and took
them away with him as a strange SOU

Sammons has them in his possession
now and will preserve them as an evil
