Washington, October 5.---It can be stated
positively that Minister Woodford has re-
ceived no additional instructions from Sec
rotary Sherman or any other government
officer since he sailed for Europe. His
call was either one of courtesy to into
uuce himself formally to the new Spanish
administration or to lay before 1t some
matters net fully outlined N his talk with
tire Duke Tetuan. He bore no Iotter from
secretary Shermam. and 1t can be stated
authoritatively that 1t is the policy of thu
administration to let the new Spanish cab
met become settled in office and not tn
press 1t to act hastily.

Washington, October 5--The contirma-
ton OF the new cabinet is the occasion Of

bers gave me good advice to no purpose,
but, thank God, an angel hand came at

mnistered some of your medicine to me
without my knowledge or consent. I am
now saved, completely transformed from
a worthless fellow to a sober and respect
ed citizen"

A Tradition of the CheroI1ees.

Among the traditions of the Cherokee
Indians is one asserting that long before
the time of Columbus-even before the
red men had settled along the Atlantic
coast-a comparatively well-civilized race.
with a knowledge of the mechanical arts,
lived in the valleys of the southern Ale
gheny mountains. They had a knowledge
of the working of metals and dug mines
for gold and mica in the mountain sides.
In confederation OF this legend there are
still to be found In the present rich mica
mines in Western North Carolina evil
dences of having been worked a long
time ago. The shafts remaining Indicate
the workers to have been possessed of
considerable mechanical skill.
