Letter to {. LiIIer.

Dear Sir: You'd strike it rich if you
could find a way to shave your Gus
toners in less time, for less cost, and
make the shave last twice or three
times as long. You wouldn't shave
the same person so many times, nor
get so much of his money; but the
whole town would be talking about
you, and everybody would come to
you for a shave.
Devoe lead and zinc is exactly that
in paints. It takes fewer gallons, and
it wears longer. Costs less for the job
and you don't have to do it again for
years and years-six years at least.
'Fewer gallons; wears ongern.
Takes fewer gallons to paint Il house
with DevCe Lead and Zinc than with

than mixed paints or cad and oil.

The chief of Piscataway was the
most powerful in that region, and
had many sachems and tribes subject
to him. The governor, Leonard Cal
vert, therefore determined to visit
him and secure his friendship. TAX
ing with him the Dove and another
small pinnace, which he had pur-
chased in Virginia, he set out with a
portion of his men, accompanied by
Father Altman, leaving the ship at
anchor at st. Clements. As they adj
vanced up the river the Indians fled
toward the interior. At length they
reached a village, on the Virginia
side, named Potomac, after the river,
and governed by Archihu, uncle of
the king, who was yet a youth.
Father Altman preached to the peo-
pie and their chiefs. They listened
with attention and replied to him
through his interpreter. The good
Father told them that the pale faces
had come neither to make war upon
them nor to do them any harm, but
to instruct them in Christianity, to
make them acquainted with the arts
of civilized life and to live with them
like brothers. You are welcome"
replied the chief. Then Father AL
than informed him that, as he had
not the time to enter upon further
discourse, he would return to visit
him again. at is good" said Arch

Having parted with this hospitable

Piscataway, where he found the ma
tiyes armed and assembled upon the
shore to the number of 500, ready to
dispute his landing. By means of
signs he contrived to make them I'M
derstand that he came for peace and
not for war, and at length the chief
or emperor ventured on board the
pinnace. Satisfied of the peaceful in

to have such skillful and powerful

them permission to settle w thin his

miles of territory, which he called

further agreed to give up to the set
lers, for their immediate accommo-

corn grounds which they had already
commenced to plant, Teserving the
other part for their own use until the
harvest should be gathered, when the
whole of the purchased territory was
to be surrendered to the whites. In
fulfillment of this provision, the ma
tives who dwelt in that part of the
village allotted to the colonies, at
once freely removed from their dwell
ings and took up their residence for
the present in t, e huts of their bre-
thren. In conclusion, the pilgrims
and the Indians mutually promised
each other to liye together in peace
and friendship, and that if an injury
should happen to be done on either
part, full satisfaction should be made
for the wrong. Such were the prin-
cipal features of this honorable trea-
ty; and thus says one of the colon
lists, writing in the ensuing year an
