Boone's Encounter With Two Indians.

Tho first settlement in kentucky
was named in honor of this intrepid
guido BOOncSborO. The supply of
salt was not sufficient, and on
Jan. l, 111S, Boone and 30 compan-
ions started for Bluo Licks, on tho
Licking river, that stream which
omptiCS into the Ohio between Now
port and COVingtOn, opposite Cincin-
natl. Upon reaching tho spot tho
men were soon busy making salt,
but Boone, having no taste for this
work, sauntered off to employ him.
self in shooting game for tho COM
pany. He had wandered somo dis
lance from the river when suddenly
he came upon two Indians armed
with muSkutS
1t was impossible to retrcat, and
the chances werO against him if he
stood. His GOODNESS did not forsake
him, however He instantly Jumped
behind tree. AS the Indians came
within gunshot he exposed himself
on the side of the tree; ono savage
immediately nred, ana Boone lodged
the ball. Exposing himself at once
again III the Same manner, he drew
the fire of the other Indian. He now
stepped boldly out; the Indians were
trying to load again; he raised his
rife, and one of tho savages fell
dead. He WAS now on equal terms
with the other. Drawing his hunt
ing knife, no lcaped forward. The In
dian raised his tomahawk to strike.
but Boone, with his rifle III his hand,
wardod OFF the blow, while with his
right he plunged his knife into the
heart of the enemy. His two foes
lay dead before him. There is a
memorial of this deed at the capitol
in Washington, III sculpture, over
the southern door of tho rotunda -.

New Stars.

The supposed unChanging face of tho
sky has impressed the minds of both tho
civilized and unciviliZcd races Of hu-
manity since time ont Of memory To
the popular mind the thousands of shin
ing points of light which stud "hcavcn' =
azure canopy" when the angels "cm-
tain this sleeping world arc the SYM
bols of immutability, of Immortality
and of eternity.
We speak Of them "shining Oh for
ever" and Of their ''unerring cycles, :"
but astronomers know that such planet
airy bodies are not "uncrring, that
they have not always existed, and that
in all probability they Will not last
forever. Observations that have been
made since astronomy became rCcog-
niZed rs one of the exact sciences"
prove that stars are subject TO criSes-tO
ups and d0Wns-just the same as are
earthly things. They have been seen to
burn up ana disappear like Whit Of
vapor. Others have been known to fly
off ut tangent and III an hour be mil
lions of miles from the place they had
occupied since the dawn Of civilization.
There are whole sections Of the sky
now "hare" that were once occupied
with stars of different magnitudes On
the contrary, new stars have frequently
burst into view. The most prominent of
these are tn" one that appeared i'll 1870

What HelmholtZ Did.

To appreciate his many sidedness we
have but 10 follow the development of
his life. While his first work WAS main
~ mathematical, his second was in
quite IL different field. 1t consisted in
the measurement uf the velocity Of prop
agation Of sensation by the nerves To
accomplish this he must needs have
been an anatOmiSt TOO.
His labors i'll the line Of PSYCHOLOGICAL
optics show that he was also u master
of psychology.
But perhaps it is by his achievements
i'll the remains of music that he is best
known and most celebrated In his book,
THE Sensations of Tone" he solved
completely the riddle of nature which
had puzzled the world since the time Of
PythagOras. Thus to give Il rational nu-
merical explanation of the intricucieS of
harmony and their effect Oh the ear,
there was need not only of II mathema-
tlclan, an anatOmiSt, Il physicist and "a
psychologist, but also of Il musician, all
united Ill one man. HclmholtZ was all
this and even more. -Scribner's

HE is IN EXTREMITY.
The Pioneer of the Coal Industry in This
Dstrict-HeIp Him.


William A. Gould was in the city yes
terday. Mr.. Gould had the misfortune to
lose his residence and household goods,
located at Clements station, on the Ala
bama Great Southern railroad, in Tuska-
loosa county, on the 18th ultimo. He
lost everything, and not even a change
of clothing was saved. He carried not a
dollar of insurance.
Mr. Gould was the pioneer prospector
of the Birmingham district, and made
the first discovery of coal in both the
Cahaba and Warrior coal fields, now be-
ing worked. There is also very popular
field bearing his name, which is one of
the most profitable veins now worked in
the district.
Mr. Gould is a Welchman, and came
to this country in 1852, and has been liv-
ing in this district for forty-one years.
He is &c years old, and an expert coal
miner He raised a large family, all of
whom are miners, but during the hard
times experienced for the past few years
it has required extra efforts for them to
support themselves and families.
We estimate his loss at $500.
Those who wish to aid him can leave
the same at the business office of the
State Herald, for which receipt will be
given.
1t does seem, with all the prosperity
Birmingham has enjoyed it cannot and
will not see the old pioneers, who blazed
our way for the greatest city Of the
south, suffer for the common necessities
of life. More especially when age has
crept upon them in their efforts to de-
velop this, one of the greenest fields for
energetic manhood on the top side of
the globe.
