There is nothing more pathetic in the
captives from Western Pennsylvania and

Indians. Some OF them returned at last
10 their relatives. who had mourned them
as dead. Many were children when taken.
and not q few could with difficulty rec3g-
nsze their own parents or become recon-
ciied to civilized life. As a matter OF fact.
SOME Of them never became reconcilet. but

SHEEP OF DEAD SHEPHERD.
Flock of 2. 900 Wandered 500 Miles After
He Was Killed by Lightning.


A herder in charge of a flock of 1000
sheep, which were grazing near the
base of the San Francisco Mountains,
in Arizona, was killed by lightning
during a terrific storm which visited
that section about the LIST of August.
AS the herder was not expected to
come in with his sheep until the LIST
of October, his absence during August
and September attracted no attention.
When the middle of October came and
he did not show up, messengers were
sent out to find him
After search of some days in the
vicinity of where he was last seen, the
remains of a camp were found under
tree which had been riven by the
lightning. The cooking utensils were
scattered about. and the remains of
blanket were found, which were iden-
titled as parts of one which the man
had taken with him. The water key
also was recognized by a mark which
had been burned into one of the slaves.
further search revealed the bones
of human being scattered about over
the ground, some of them more than a
hundred yards from the tree. having
evidently been carried about by
wolves. A prospector who had passed
that way had camped for a night with
the man about the LIST of August and
said the herd was then moving north
ward. This tree around which these
articles were found was just about far
enough north to have been the next
camping place, and when it was re-
membered that there was a severe
storm of thunder and lightning in that
section one night about the time re-
ferred to, it was clear that the man
had made his camp under this tree and
had been killed by lightning and his
body devoured by wolves. The sheep
had never been heard of and no trace
of them could be found anywhere in
that part of the country.
But now comes the strange part of
the story. Early in November a herd
of about 1000 sheep was found on the
plain in San Miguel county in New
Mexico, with no one in charge of them.
and to all appearances belonging to no.
body The parties in Arizona heard of
this fact and wrote to an officer in that
Territory, giving their marks and ex-
planning how the sheep could be identi-
fled. 1t was found beyond any doubt
that this was the herd that had dis
appeared from the range in Arizona
about the LIST of August. The animals
had been shifting for themselves for
more than three months. and turned
up at point fully 500 miles from the
place where the herder was killed
They had crossed the Rio Grande on
the way.

MACHINE POLITICS,

We call attention to the pertinent
remarks of Mr.. Pingree, present Repub-
lican governor of Michigan, which APP
pear in another column of this paper,
upon the constant and dangerous tend
ency in our politics for parties to fall
into the control of selfish interests, and
to be turned by them away from legiti-
mate courses.
The principle that eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty, is nowhere more
true than in this matter of the control of
parties and party machinery. If a free
people would remain free and enjoy that
general prosperity which is a sure result
of free institutions when rightly admin
istered, they must watch closely and
constantly those whom they advance to
high position, to see that they fill those
positions with integrity, and also with
ability, for both of these are needed in
those who guard the course of the ship
of state, but especially integrity.
The great and constant danger is a
neglect on the part of the people to do
this, and this is liable to be especially
true in a state like Vermont, where there
is practically but one party. Eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty and it is
equally true that those who do not mani
fest this vigilance are not worthy of
the liberty.
