Unframed by o Serpent,

The incident of st. Paul and the
viper and the stories OF Zinzendorf
and Brainerd and their serpent visitors
are read by every one with the thrill
Of interest always felt where q human
life is at stake. We can imagine the |
effect upon those who were eyewit- |
nesses Of the fact, and saw these men |
escape withouta wound.
Near the middle Of the last century
David Brainerd loft his mission among
the Indians at Stockbridge. Massachu- |
sets. and travelled southwark to the
"forks of the Delaware" He had
heard Of o savage tribe in the heart Of
the New Jersey forests, and yearned
to bring them under Christian influ-
ences.
With his pocket-Bible, his tent
cloth and a few simple utensils for
preparing his food strapped in bun
die on his back, he pushed on through
the wilderness till he found himself
in the neighborhood OF the Indian vii
lage. He was not tired, and mount
ing his little shelter-tent on sticks, he
camped under the trees to rest and to
fortify himself for the new undertak-
ing that lay before him. What peril
was near him from savage hands he
could not know, and like his Master
in 70 solitary place apart" he talked
with heaven until he felt refreshed
and strong.
When he finally reached the wigwams,
he was an astonished man. His faith
and hope had made him bold, but he
little expected when he faced the en-.
emies Of his race that o "whole vii.

INDIAN TROOPS.
Speculation as TO the Value of Their
Service I'm the Event OF War
with Spain.

An interesting question to be consid-
cred, it is believed, in the event Of war
with Spain is how many Indian troops
would be available for active service, If
necessary 20 employ them. OF course,
IL Is understood that the Indians could
not be drafted into the service, as in the
majority of cases express stipulations
have been made in the treaties that they
are not TO be mixed up in hostilities
with which this country is concerned.
It is believed, however, that If they
were actually needed they would be
mustered in. During the war between
the states there were hundreds Of In
diars enlisted. OF the tribes, the Cher
okees were well represented.
Chief Duncan, of the nation, said to
Star reporter that he thought It likely
the Cherokees would enlist and take
part in the fight with the Spaniards.
The nature of the Indian, he says, is
phlegmaticin the extreme, and IT takes
some time for him to make up his mind.
When it is settled, though, and the step
IS taken, he is one of the last 70 give in.
The Cherokees' country, Mr.. Duncan
states, was devastated during the civil
war. as badly as is Cuba at the present
time. 1t was the borderland of the con-
ilict for the two armies, and felt the full
force of the powerful current of war
fare. Though the Indians had been
promised protection, troops were with
drawn from the forts, and the Chero-
KEGS suffered the consequences.
Several regiments were organized by
the Indians, they being forced into it,
to a certain extent. The most Of these
were commanded by officers of their
own race, and they fought bravely
through the battles in which they were
concerned. One Of these was the battle
of Oak Hill, where Gen. Lyon was killed.
Some of the regiments shared the for
tunes of the federal troops, and others
Joined hands with those Of the south.
The Indian is a warrior by nature,
Mr.. Duncan says, and though the Chero-
KEGS are peaceful and law-abiding citi-
zens, being engaged at the present in
agricultural pursuits, it Is possible they
would be found ready To take up arms
and fight against a foreign invader

are now in partnership in a prosperous
