The following is an instance in which
the mooring of the mussel was useful to
effect a purpose which human skill
could not accomplish. A large bridge,
with 20 arches, in the town Of Biddeford,
in Devonshire, crosses the Torridge river
near the spot Of its junction with the
Taw.
The tide flows SO very rapidly here
that it was found impossible to keep the
bridge III repair by means Of mortar.
The corporation therefore keeps boats
employed in bringing mussels to it, and
the interstices Of the bridge are filed by
hand with these mussels.
It is supported from being driven
away by the tide entirely by the strong
threads which these mussels fix to the
stonework, and by an act or grant it is
a crime liable to transportation for any
person to remove the mussels unless in
the presence and by the consent of the
cooperative trustees. Scottish Nights.

Mrs. John Chiverre Discovers h Wa
Kidnapped by Indians.

Mrs. John Chiverre Discovers h Was
kidnapped by Indians.
MILWAUKEE, July 19.-According to
a dispatch from Superior Mrs. John
Chiverre, wife of a half breed Chippewa
Indian, who all her life has thought
herself the daughter of Manitowassa, a
Chippewa brave, has just learned that
she is the daughter of Howard Marsh, a
farmer living heal St. Paul. Twenty.
five years ago Manitowassa and a party
of his braves were camped a st.
Paul, when a little girl, 5 years
of age, strayed into their camp.
The next day the chief learned
that it was the child of Howard
Marsh, a farmer living close by, but he
decided to adopt the girl as his daugh-
ter, and called her Mennowanetowasi
(Lost Child.) AS the girl grew up to
womanhood she looked upon the chief
and his squaw as ner parents. Five
years ago she married Il half breed and
now lives in Superior with her hus.
band. Several days ago the old chief
died, and on his deathbed he told John
Gorgie, a half breed. the story Of the
girls life. Mrs. Chiverre has decided
to remain with her half breed husband.
with whom she says she is happy.

CARPET PRINTING.
When the First Experiments Were Made
by John Bright.

When the First Experiments Were Made
by John Bright.
The printing CT tapestry and velvet
carpets, after being woven in the white,
dates back 90 or more years ago. Old
carpet men will at once recall the fabric
made by John Bright at Rochdale, Eng
land, and how he flooded our country
with his products. Their introduction,
however, was difficult, as they came in
conflict with the productions OF John
Crossley & Sons, then the greatest pro-
ducers Of the original tapestry and vel
vets in the world. The difference, of
course, between the two productions
was that the Crossleys had the designs
printed, as now, in colors on the warp
before weaving, while that made by
John Bright tapestry had its figures
and color" stamped upon the fabric by
hand after it was woven. The latter
process, However, presented a drugget
effect and lacked the style and accurate
registration Of the Crossley carpets.
They had one thing to commend them
they were very durable. Bright's goods
were first printed with blocks, and, be-
ing durable and cheap, their sale was
large in many countries.
Cylinders Or rollers were afterward
used by Bright, the cue being taken
from calico and kindred printing, but
they varied much in their construction.
One of these, used by an English manu-
facturer, was a very elaborate and ex-
pensive affair. The engraving Of the de-
sign upon the cylinder was very deep,
and the colors placed in their proper
places to correspond precisely with the
fabric itself, a painted design, contain
ing every color to be employed, being
used as a guide. In fact, the exact col
oring Of the carpet was placed upon the
cylinder and from it transferred to the
plain fabric. American Carpet and

The Pierre Free Press, u republican
paper, bus takes to task its republican
contemporaries for their partisan way of
discussing the Yankton asylum fuel
contracts. After referring to the fact
that Brookman did not bid a second
time after the board refused to accept
his first proposition, and that the con-
tract was let to one Walter B. Dean, as
the ''lowest bidder" the Free Press, says:
'The facts are, L. H. Glow of this city,
had a bid 10, in the most regular form,
making the price one-half cent cheaper
per ton on soft coal and fifty cents lower
OF hard coal, than W. B. Dean, but his
bid was disregarded. He is the state
agent of one of the wealthiest and most
substantial companies doing business in
the state, the Rust-Owen Lumber com.
pany, and furnished the most perfect
guarantee OF his ability to perform the
contract. Why his bid was ignored best
remains to be judged by the reader, in
view of the allegations that a clique las
protted by the asylum contracts for
years. Frank Steere, of this city, a re.
publican member of the board, voted
steadily for the lowest bid, Mr.. CLOVIS,
while g. w. Kingsbury, of Yankton, the
populist member, voted for Deans.
Two other republican members voted
for Dean"
When republican papers do such work
they will command the better respect OF
the people OF the state and DO much to-
wards purifying its record and future
actions III the economical and honest
management of public business.

GRANT AND CONFEDERATE.

The Commanders Consideration For .
Wounded Officer of the Enemy.
The following anecdote is related by
General Horace Porter in his Cam
paigning With Grant" in The Century:
While riding about the field General
Grant stopped at a house and expressed
q desire to prepare some dispatches. A
number Of wounded were lying upon
the porch and in the rooms. Trey had
made their way there in accordance
with the usual custom of wounded men
to seek a house. 1t seems to be q natural
instinct, as a house conveys the idea of
shelter and of home. I walked with the
general into q back room to see whether
there was a dry spot which he might
take possession of for a Short time to
write messages aud look owe the maps.
AS we entered there vas seen sitting
in the only chair a Confederate lieuten-
ant of infantry who had been shot in
the left cheek, the ball passing through
his mouth and coming out near the
right ear. A mass of o~cagulated blood
covered his face and neck, and he pre-
sented a shocking appearance. He arose
the moment we entered, pushed his
chair forward toward the general and
said, with a bow and a smile, "Here,
take my chair, sir. General GRAM
looked at him and replied: "Ah, you
need that chair much more than I.
Keep your seat. I see you are badly
hurt" The officer answered good ma
turedly: IF you folks let me 60 back
to our lines, I think I ought to be able
to get a leave to go home and see my
girl. But I reckon she wouldn't know
me now" The general said, II will see
that one of our surgeons does all in his
power for you," and then stepped out
Of the ROOM. He told one of the surgeons
who was dressing the wounds Of oul
men to do what he could for the Con-
federate. We did not hear what became
Of him afterward. He probably neve,
knew that he had been talking to the
general in chief Of the Yankee armies.
The dispatches were afterward written
in another room.
