GIFTS TO THE POPE.
His Holiness Receives Many Singular
 Presents from the Faithful.


 The Vatican has become a perfect museum of objects, animate and inani- mate, as many of the faithful have de- sired to give his holiness personal gift, with in many cases strange re- suits. For instance, peasant from the Abruzzi the other day brought a pair of turtle doves in basket and was highly incensed because he was not al lowed to carry them into St. Peters and present them personally, then and there. to the head of the church. A woman brought-that is, carried to the station-a young and lusty pig but was obliged by her mortified parish priest to leave it behind Alfredo Mancini, now In Rome, has, however, mada the pon- tiff present which is most interesting and valuable. Not long ago he brought With him from the Holy Land two magnificent goats taken from Mount Carmel. They are splendid beasts, dis tnguished from their kind by their black coats, andsrally thick and soft, and by their ears, which are large and Tall like those of {, hunting hound. The pope has inspected them personally in their pasture in the Vatican gardens. The other day as he stood looking at lfem he sai': How they bring back 10 me the days of my childhood. when scrambled about the hills of Carpi- neto like the goats, going in many places where only a wild boy or q goat cou1d gain foothold." These goats are as Yet untried to the climate of Rome, put as they are hardy animals 1t is hoped they will not suffer by the shapga flynn Palestine.

PEWTER THE RAGE.
Titled Women in France Modelled in This
 Material.


 If you ever received a bonbonniere, a tray, an ash receiver, a mug or a plate in pewter for a gift, consider yourself unusually blessed Pewter is the rage in Paris, just now, and every conceivable knicl1-knack that has ever been made LID in silver has now been reproduced in pewter. The most de- siTable pieces are modelled to show the 1leur-de lis of the Bourbons or the graceful Wreaths and hanging baskets Of flowers trimmed with the double Is of Louis Quinze. 4 French correspon- dent writes that in France this rage for pewter is little short of madness, that fashionable women are hanging the side walls of their dining rooms with all sorts Of rare and beautiful pewter mugs and with shelves decor ated with odd pewter plates. There is also great fad fer figures in pew. ter, modelled from fife or the antique, and at the last Paris Salon a pewter figure known as The Creole,' created d profound sensation The figure was modelled from life, and was q eharIn- ingly sympathetic bit. Since this fig ure appeared a number of titled wom. en have been modelled in pewter The results have been very satisfactory, as the materials soft and pliable, the soft grayness adding wonderfully to the artistic results. To keep pewter clean it shoulG De rubbed with chamois once in two or aree weeks.

Big John Gross, who is one of the characters of Gibbsboro, N. J., Is cursed with extreme obesity, says the Philadelphia Record. He acts as his own barkeeper, and as result of this confinement increased in weight to an alarming extent Johns wife also viewed this additional adipose with alarm, and nally suggested sea me for keeping down the flesh that works to perfection Whenever there Is lull in business John seizes a paddle about q foot long and watches for an active looking fly to come his Way. The game is to start the fly on the wing and then chase it around the room un- til such time as he has an opportunity to kill it. The pursuit involving the leaping of tables, chairs, stoves and other obstruetions and if the fly is un- usually wary and active John gener- ally succeeds in losing pound or two of flesh Def re the finish. At first he could only Il one fly day. but now he considers it a poor day that does not add a half a dozen notches to his paddle.

DEFENDING BRAZIL.
Rebel sympathizers in Clay County. Ind, and
the Failure of Their Plans.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Early in
July, 1864, John Morgan, with rebel
force of about 5000 men, invaded Indiana.
Knowing the South had many sympathiz-
ers in the State, he looked for assistance
from the anti-war element, and especially
from this Congressional District, as our
Representative in Congress (Hon. d. w.
Voorhees, opposed every measure the Ad-
ministration proposed to put down the re-
bellion. Morgan expected to do serious
damage TO the Union cause here, and ef-
feet a conquest of the State.
At this time the reasonable organiza-
tions in this State had reached their
most effective development. Large num-
bers of men had been armed and were
under effective discipline. A general in
surTection was planned, which was TO be
carried into execution as soon as Nor
gan's raid had progressed far enough to
insure success.
In Clay County the Butternuts were not
behind their brethren in other localities.
About this time the organization of rebel
auxiliary force began. These were to be
drawn from the northern part of Clay
County and from the Raccoon region OF
Parke County. A place OF rendezvous was
established in Van Buren, Township, Clay
County, on the farm of John Frump, 4
warm rebel sympathiZer. Recruits came
pouring in from all points of the compass,
and soon a force of 400 armed men was
collected.
At this place they remained for two
days, concealing as far as possible their
movements. The Union men of Brazil re-
The National tribune., 1901-04-25

went to meet the Eastern Division TO try
TO dissuade them from their purpose ana
avoid bloodshed. Col. Streight advanced
TO their lines and began to parley wIth
them; n gun was drawn upon him, but
he coolly remarked that he had had whola
regiments OF guns pointed at him, and
went on with his speech. He advised them
not to attempt to come into Brazil. for ie
they did they would be met by a resoluta
resistance, and blOOdshed would inevitably
result. His warning had the desired eff
feet. They dispersed, and were seen no
more. The Colonel and Stunkard returned
to town and formed the citizens and old
soldiers IN martial array, and they and
Mr.. Eli Hendrix, one of the oldest citizens
of Brazil, at the head OF the column, pro-
ceedcd to meet the Western Division OF
Butternuts and hold a like parley. They
met them drawn up in line Of battle. The
Union forces were marched up to within
hundred yards of the enemy and halted.
Col Streight advanced and demanded the
name of their commander. A Mr.. Gar.
rigus stepped out and said, 81 am CAPS

you have taken an oath to obey the or
ders of your superior officers. l hold o
COlOne's commission, and | command YOU

The Butternuts didn't wait for the coms

of development refer anything inexplicable
to the action of unseen powers. Such an
opinion was, moreover, greatly strength
ened only few nights afterwards.
One of those wOrkmen while lying awake
in this ill-omened house heard the long
yearning whine of hungry tiger, and
looking through its creviced wall saw what
he declared to be an animal of that kind
bigger than a tapir, pacing expectantly to
and fro in the starlight. 1t fitted from
shadow to shadow, then fastened its glow
ing eyes upon his own, and vanished. The
witness, who told this tale to everyone
there. swore he beheld it melt into air,
and among people so constituted it is need
less to say that henceforth there existed
but one idea concerning the brute's de-
moniacal nature.
Before going on it might be as well to
say that this narrative is not given in the
manner of its telling. Facts have been
rendered literally, but the reporter has
translated thought and feeling also; de-
scribed mental equally with physical phe-
nomena, and presented these scenes as
they actually took place. Events followed
in such wise as to intensity the hopeless
conviction that an internal being was let
loose. Isidor, the one who had seen this
monster, and felt its deadly stare freeze
his blood, was killed next.
The unfortunate wretch presaged his
calamitous fate, and yet he started off
through those woods alone to go home.
There is no use in asking the why or
wherefor of such an imprudence; one

however. Everybody believed the victim
| bewitched, fascinated, bedeyiled; put un-
der spell and led to death by the bane-
full gaze turned upon him when this dread
beast made its midnight visit.
If such people as these could think ra-
tionally, it is evident that they would not
be barbarians; but that happened to be
their actual state, and therefore instead Of
being enlightened concerning their perse
cutOrs true character as a man-eating
brute without any supernatural powers,
the next tragedy only confirmed all foolish
fancies. Quite naturally, considering what
race he belonged to and his own develop
mental state, another member of this fam
lily meandered toward home one evening,
and became aware that n tiger, as he
called it, was afoot. The man came from
Tehuantepec, where it is not uncommon to
fight jaguars as Ghoorkas do real tigers;
so when he looked back and saw an omin-
Gus wave in the grass; when ground birds
took wing, and a band of monkeys come
down to drink went scurryiBg aloft, this
Indian knew his pursuer was getting
ahead to wait for him. Flight or evasion
being equally impossible, the brave fellow
prepared for a conflict that is often but
not always fatal to determined and skill
full men.
He crammed his leathern sandals with
a large cotton handkerchief into that
heavy sombrero everybody wears, rolled
the universal serape round his left arm,
and, machete in hand, went on. Yet not
withstanding eyes which saw everything,

ceived information Of this remarkable
gathering, and preparations for resistance
were begun without delay.
It was understood that the force was to
advance upon Brazil and take possession
Of the place. They had made arrange
ments for hay and corn for their horses
when they should establish their head
quarters in Brazil.
The blood of the Brazilians was up,
even some of those who had formerly been
in sympathy with the South. 1t is a mat
ter of fact the information Of the intended
raid was given by Cyrus Moore, man
considered Butternut. They asked him
TO contribute money for supplies. and re-
vealed to him the whole plan. They told
him they were going to drill in Brazil, and
if they were opposed or insulted they
would sack and burn the town, except the
property of those in sympathy with them.
At this time there were a few soldiers
who had seen service, and with these loyal
citizens Joined. enough to make a com
pany of about so men, armed with varions
kinds of guns. Capt. Abraham Carney,
in the adjoining township, had a com
pany of 100 home guards, well drilled and
well armed with Government guns.
The Union forces having received in
formation of the intended movements of
the Butternuts put themselves in readiness
to repel them. 1t was ascertained that
upon 4 certain day the attack upon the
town was TO be made. Word was sent TO
Gov. Morton. who at once dispatched Col.
\. ID. Streight, who had seen three years
service, to take command.
The attacking forces were divided into
an Eastern Division and a Western Divi-
sion. The Eastern consisted of about 400
men and the Western about 200 They
were to attack the town simultaneously
from the cast and the west.

The dimness OF a fast-closing tropical
evening which has no twilight, lay upon
his path, and they who saw him disappear

been struck dead as the beast leaped from
its ambush, and no part of his body was
eaten-only the torn throat showed how

That the second murder should have
been perpetrated among members of one
household was evidently accidental. 1t did
not take place upon the premises, and, OF
course, this destroyer had not picked out
Isidor, but simply killed the first man who
came within reach. 1t was not looked upon
