TO England in 1851 and obtained a
seat in parliament. The last part OF
his life was devoted to antiquarian
studies. These maps were published
In London in 1894.
The other two maps were published
In Paris In 1906. One of the Eng
lish maps gives the thirteen original
States; n of the French maps shows
stars and seventeen States.
None of the English maps show Wash
ington or st. Lous. The French map
does. There is no Chicago on either
of the maps. Cahokia and Kaskaskia
are on all of the maps. One Of tn

The Dlgger~anQ the more prepOSterOuS
the lie, he says, the more readily 1t Is
believed. When the Jubilee bridge owe
the Hooghly was being built, the story
got about that the government required
a thousand heads Of natives for the
foundations of the bridge, and had
given orders that all natives walking
seized, and taken to the "Shaitan
Khana"-the native name name for the
Masonic lodge-where their heads were
to be cut off for use in this uncanny en-
cheering operation. The natives, 1t is
said, were afraid to walk in that direc-
ton after dark for this reason. Again,
at the time of the last Indian frontier
war, a tat Babu clerk disappeared from
one of the government offices and could
not be found. 1t was firmly believed,
says my correspondent, by his fellow
clerks and n%eighbors, that he had been
seized by order of the government, to
be made into ointment for the benefit of
the wounded soldiers. Happily, the fat
Babu turned up again safe ana sound:
so no serious consequences resulted
from this delusion. If an idea like this
can be seriously accepted, as my in
formant says it was, by the class of ma
tives who pass examinations and hold
public appointments, nothing that may
flnd acceptance with the Clover orders"
can be wondered at.
