A rhIef,s caeyerness.

We do not remember to have seen for a long time a more curious case Of q thief's cleverness than that which was recorded at Clerkenwell. Solomon Buffer, who, with a companion. was convicted of burglary ln a jewellers 6hop. managed to conceal two diamond rings in spite of the most thorough soarch by the police, and coDtrived to mass one of them away to ais wife when he was in the cells, putting it into her mouth by means of his tongue -.han kissing her" The other he kept nnder his tongue all the time he was snder arrest, and It would probably never have been found at all if his eon,nanjon had not exposed him in eourt and so induced the judge te o,der a careful inspection of his mouth.

PIPES OF PEACE.
sh'sf ma 'ie of Bioed-Red Stone Mes,
 Esteemea by Indians

Nearly every Indian tribe has soma interesting legend connected with inc piood-red stone of the Pipestone mar ties or Minnesota. One tale is that lone ago two fierce bands of Winnehapoes and Sioux, the bravest of their raenao. tive tribes, met in conflict here. They fought all day, from early morn untis set or sun, until the ehieftain of ona pand was slain. Some of the warriors escaped, and some were made eantivas
 Among the captives was the ehieftain,e daughter. Being very brave and fair she was chosen by one chief as his share of the spells. Refusing. how ever, to become bis bride, she was doomed to the stake. In dying she predicted that the Great Spirit would throw her blood upon the suns rays to her people far away, and that the stone under her feet would be forever tinted with her blood. Catlin, the famed ex
 plorer of Indian country, was the first White man to visit this locality At- tracted by the Indian tales he had heard in the summer of 1886. in com pany with a young English gentleman and his trusty Indian guide, he started on horseback from St. Anthony's Falls to explore the region. It appears that the Indian tribes have long seld the place in supefstitious estimation. and also that it has been the resort of dYg. ferent tribes, who have made their regular pilgrimage there to renew their pipes. It is also evident that these people set an extraordinary value on the red stone, Independent of the fact that it is more easily carved and makes 6etter pipes than any other stone. Whenever an Indian presents a pipe Of 1t, he gives it as something from the Great Spirit and some of the tribes have tradi ion that the red men wera all created from the red stone and that It is thereby part of their flesh. Such was the superstition of the Sioux on this subject that we had great diff deulty in approaching it, being stopped by several hundred of them, who or- dered LIS back and threatened LIS very hard, saying that no white man had ever seen 1t and that none should.
