ORIGIN Of Flrevuater.

When the Hudson Bay Trading COM
pany began its trading among the In
dams it was found that by selling the
Indians liquor they could more easily
be induced to trade their peltries. The
first whisky or intoxicant Of inferior
quality was distilled in England and
brought to America In large barrels,
but in transporting it overland it was
found more convenient to divide 1t into
small kegs. The traders soon became
aware Of the fact that by diluting the
whisky with water more furs could
be obtained This was practiced for
some time, but the Indians learned
that good whisky poured on a fire
would cause 1t to fame up, whereas
had the whisky been diluted the fire
would be Quenched 1t was by this
simple experiment that the term fire
water" became a common word among
the Indians. A chief who had expert
enced the bad effects Of whisky among
his people said 1t was most certainly
distilled from the hearts Of Wildcats
and the tongues of women from the eff
fects 1t produced.-Red Man.

SPEcTER SHIPS.
Legends Of shadowy Craft Of the New
England Coast.

Legends Of shadowy Craft Of the New
England Coast.
The coast of New England has nu-
merous legends concerning specter
ships firmly believed by the rugged
fishermen, who assert st0utly that on
various occasions glimpses Of the
shadowy craft have been seen, fol-
lowed invariably by fatal disaster.
The specter of the Palentine is occa-
sionally seen on Long Island sound
and is the forerupner of a gale of
wind. She was Dutch trading yes
sci and was wrecked off Block island
In 1852. The wreckers, 1t is said, made
short work of her, stripping her fore
and aft and setting fire to the hull
AS she drifted blazing off the coast
human form was visible amid the
flames, the form of female passen-
ger, left to perish on the doomed
craft Since and generally upon the
anniversary Of the. wreck a phantom
ship with blazing hull, charred spars
and scorched sails and rigging has
been seen cruising of Block island.
Whittier recorded the legend in
graceful verse as well as that Of a
ghostly cruiser that sailed from a
New England port of her last voyage,
which he termed 1.-THE Dead Ship of
Salem" In the seventeenth century a
ship was about to sail from Salem to
England. Her cargo was on board,
sails bent and passengers on deck,
when two passengers came hurriedly
of and engaged passage. The couple
were a young man and a young wo-
man, who, so tradition records, were
remarkable for their bearing and beau
ty.
Who they were or whence they came
no one in Salem town could tell. The
ship being detained by adverse winds,
the mysterious couple excited the sus-
picions of the townspeople, who view
ed them as uncanny and prophesied
disaster to the vessel If allowed to sail
In her But the master, blum and
stern sailor, refused to listen and final
ly departed on a Friday.
The vessel never reached her desti-
nation and was never spoken, but later
In the year incoming vessels reported
sighting a craft with luminous rigging
and sails and shining hull and spars.
She was sailing with all canvas set
against the wind, with crew of dead
men standing in the shrouds and lean
ing over the rail. while upon the quar-
terdeck stood a young and beautiful
couple.-New York Herald

BURIED HIS OPPONENT.
"Sunset" Cox Pronounced the Eulogy
and Wrote the Epitaph.

"Sunset" Cox Pronounced the Eulogy
and Wrote the Epitaph.
Adlai Stevenson in his "reminiscences
tells some stories of the witty New
York congressman. Sunset Cox. One
relates how Cox got even with new
member who tried to crush him. and
another gives Cox's retort to Samuel
]. Tilden's effort to win the dyed in
the wool Republican state of Vermont
in 1876.
A new member from sparsely set
tied district entered the house. His
aEoirdnpeis was in keeping with the
vast territorial area he represented.
As wit he was without rival In his
section The admiration Of his con
stituents over the marvellous attain
ments of the new member scarcely
exceeded his own. Only the opportu-
nifty was wanting when the star Of the
gentleman from New York should go
down and his own be in the ascendant
The opportunity at length came. In
the great speech made by the new
member Mr.. Cox was the victim Of the
hour, the recipient of many compli-
ments much more fervid than kind
The seven walls Of wrath were opened
upon him. A vast storehouse Of wit.
ancient and modern. was literally ex-
hausted for the occasion. Even the di-
mfnutive size of the New York mem
Der was mentioned In terms of dispar
agement.
The speech caused much merriment
in the house during its delivery. and
its author. with an air of self satisfac-
ton rarely witnessed even in that
body, resumed his seat. Mr. Cox al
once took the floor. No attempt viii
be made to do justice to his speech
The manner, the tone of voice, which
caused an uproar upon the floor and i'll
the galleries. can never find their way
to print. Referring to the i'll hammered
allusion to his size, he said "that his
constituents preferred representative
with brains rather than one whose
only claims to distinction consisted in
an abnormal abdominal development"
In tragic tones he then pronounced a
funeral eulogy over his assaflant and
suggested as a fitting inscription for
his tombstone the pathetic words Of
Byron:
"'Tis Greece. but living Greece no
more"
Soon<after the nomination Of Tilden
for president Mr.. Cox was invited to
attend a political meeting at the state
capitai and address the Democracy Of
Vermont. When the scarcity Of Demo-
Gratis in the Green Mountain State is
i taken into account the significance Of
Mr. Cox's reply viii readily appear.
His telegram was to the effect that
pressing engagements prevented his
attending. but IF the Democracy Of
Vermont will drop into my library any
afternoon about o'clock l will ad-
dress them with great pleasure"
