A Rcmiuisence or White Pigeon. BT DtXIIKRT S. 1VINS. On a conspicuous mound in the south east corner of a prairio field, near the public road that leads from "Indiana Prairie" to Constantine, and about one mile west of the picturesque village of White Pigeon, iu Southern Michigan, stands a beautiful Balm of Gilead tree, which marks the last resting-place of one of the noblest and greatest of In dians, White Pigeon, Chief of the Miaiua tribe of Indians. Early border-writers make frequent mention of this most remarkable man. He was born in Ohio about the year 1775, and died in Michigan 1812. In the management of the aflairs of his tribe he was judicious and painstaking, adjusting all matters of business apper taining to them with the most ex act dis ciimination. His intellect was of a high order; he reached his conclusions only after deliberate consideration, and these conclusions he could not be pre vailed upon to change. He was held in the highest esteem throughout the Northwest. By the Miama Nation he was honored anil trusted as their law giver with the utmost confidence and most explicit obedience. He was averse to bloodshed, and was the strong and con testant friend of jeace and good will to all men. Tho story of the ascendency l of bite Pigeon to the Chieftainship of his tribe was told to old Dr. Elliott, an early pioneer settler of Southern Michi gan, by tho Chief himself, aud is as follows : The occasion was not only thrilling and heroic, but on the part of the young warrior's mother and himself will ever stand in history as one of the noblest and most humane acts known to any people, and would serve as a theme both grand and eloquent for the poet or dramatist. It was about ninety 3ears ago, and the Indian tribes which were located about the head waters of St. Joseph river had not theu begun to feel the civilizing influence of the earlier pio neer settlers. The savage customs pre vailed in all their terrible force. The Indian brave was occupied with thoughts of war, cruelty and revenge, The createst barbaritv was practiced toward captives, who were burned at the stake, dragged to death at the tail of wild horses, or otherwise made the I victims of tho most inhuman torture the ingenuity of the red savages could invent. A white man had been captured and was brought into the Miami village. At sight of the helpless prisoner the great est excitement prevailed, aud through out the camp the Indian men, women and children began to whet their appetites for the horrid feast of his cremation. A council of tho warriors was called to determine the wretched man's fate. Tho decision was a foregone conclusion. It was decided to burn him at the stake. Preparations were immediately begun and the camp resounded with loud shouts of pleasure aud gratification. Another hour of fiendish delight wa3 promised. Another human sacrifice was to be enjoyed. The inexorable mandate of the council had gone forth. In all tho village there were but three persons besides the trembliug captive whose faces did not exhibit glad ex pectancy. These three were young White Pigeon, his mother and sister. They had been quiet but earnest spectators oi tne arrangements in pro- gress for thejdreadful orgies. White Pigeon's mother was the Chieftess or (Jueen of the tribe. She was called White Dove, and her daughter was called Bed Bud, while her only sou was called Wild Ct or White Pigeon, and the names of the mother an I son m are found appended to many important treaties. The mother was tilling out a kind of regency, which had continued now for about twenty years, and, ac cording to the tradition, she ruled the tribe with a sway, power and success as no woman had ever tilled before. She was of the royal blood of the Miamis. Her young son had been singled out as her successor, but before he could attain the great distinction of leadership and command the obedience of his rivals for the high place, he must distinguish himself by some deed of prowess; must show that he was brave and resolute, as well as wise and deliberate. The captive was now bound to the stake, and as the fiendish executioners leaped high about him, piling up the faggots, White Dove sat in the outer ring of spectators trying to form a plan for the advancement of her son en deavoring to take advantage of the cir cumstances of the sacrifice to call the favorable notice of the assembled war riors to her son for the honors of Chief. Her scheme was soon perfected and im parted to -White Pigeon, who carried it oat with a spirit woithy of the son of sq noble a woman. The plan was to save, the victim from horrible death to snatch from the pyre the hapless victim to cheat the warriors and the wemen of the pleasure of the sacrifice. The soene had now become one of animation. The whole camp had gath ered.. On- the outer limits of the i-hrong stood the gloating women, holding up their babes to gladden their eyes with the sight of .the immolation. The inner circles were composed of painted war riors, -who filled - the air with their vociferations and coarse jests. All eyes were fixed.upon the pale victim as, J With bands and feet lashed to the stake; be faced his tormentors. The leading executioner sprang into the ring, and, waving aloft a lighted torch, with many fantastic motions of his body, he- approached the captive. In a moment more tho fire would be ignited and the hellish feast would be on. Now was tho supreme moment for tho aged Chieftess. She slipped a knife into the hands of her son, bade him to leap to the captive's rescue, loose with the sharp blade the helpless vic tim, proclaim aloud his chieftainship, and leave the rest to her sagacity. Fired by the inspiration of his am bitious mother, the young warrior elec trified tho crowd by springing into their midst. He dashed the torch- bearer aside, waved his gleaming knife, proclaimed that he was the Chief chosen by the Great Spirit, and after a few slashes of his knife bade the prisoner go free. Astonishment and surprise filled the minds of the Indians. Al though cheated of their prize, they were so carried away with the heroism of the young brave that they regarded him with feelings of admiration, rather thau displeasure, and were very gener ally satisfied at the strangeness of the denouement and bold rescue. White Pigeon was thereafter a fa vorite, esteemed by ail tho tribe as a god, and he became a Chief of the first rank. After tatisfying herself of the com plete success of her plan, and after seeing the burprise of the waniors changed to admiration of her son aud his valorous deed, tho wily mother, in the confusion that followed, conducted tho white man out of the village aud placed him in a canoe, which was cov ered with peltries, and ho was soon gliding down tho St. Joseph river, safely out of reach of the blood-thirsty savages. Many years afterwards, as Chief White Pigeon was on his way to Wash ington, ho stopped at a small town in Indiana. A stranger approached and carefully scrutinized him. Suddenly he threw his arms around the Chiefs neck. It was the rescued prisoner who, now, in his old age, embraced his bene factor with all the warmth of filial af fection and gratitude. The meeting was one of mingled pleasure aud bur prise to both. Warding Off Disease. uen Susan Bcntley married Hugh Lynn, aud returned with him io his home in the South, bhe knew nothing of his family. She found them to be clever, gay, warm-hearted people, who welcomed her cordially, and took her at once to their hearts. P. their homes, however, she learned before many days had passed borne facts that startled her. Several of her husband's uncles and cousins men of high social position, drank io excess. Susan thought and prayed over these terrible significant facts alone. Then, hiding all her miscrv- and terror, she went to her husband with a cheerful face. "Hugh," she said, "your family have atendency to the disease of drunkenness just as mine have to consumption. You are tender and watchful of me that I shall avoid droughts and cold, and now you must let me be careful of you.' Young Lynn was a man of wit and sense, and was fond of his wife. He knew that in every branch of the Lynn familv one man at least had died a i drunkard. He knew, too, that even with his young, healthy body, he al ready .sometimes leit tne awtul craving for stimulant. He was glad to adopt any plan which she might suggest. Her plan was a simple one. Stimu lant of every kind wa banished from the house; no wiue, spices, or hot condiments were used eveu in cooking. The neighborhood wondered, for tho community was one where "good liv ing'' held high place in the estimate of life's good things. Susan herself was al ways cooking savory little dishes for her husband, that he might not find his meals insipid, "Other people," she said gaily, "may perhaps take wine or take cold with impunity; but we Lynns can do neither." Her one object for years was io keep her husband interested and eager in his business and amusement. "A hapnv. busy man stimulants. does not feel the need ot " she reasoned, wiselv. The result of this experiment, which occupied and filled the greater part of I her life, was that Hugh Lynn is still J living, a hale, sober man of 70, and that , the family curse has not fallen upon one of his three sons. This storv is true, with the exception of the names. We tell it because among those who read it are many who have inherited this most cruel and mor tal of all diseases. "Alcoholism." sa3's Dr. Swayne, "is, in many cases, an affection of the stom ach, brain and nerves, transmitted from father to sou. It can be cured by at tention to hygiene and diet, under medi cal supervision. Like almost all hc ridrtary di-eases. too, with this attention it will die out in a family after one or two generations." There is hope oven in this darkest of all places in life.

"But I am quite well known in erary way." "Oh, that amounts to nothing, must have done something else- a lit- You must have committed some crime, or some thing of the sort.

Every cue, but especially children, should wear propoiiy fitting shoes, no matter how common their material. Thev should be neither too larce or too small, and should have low, flat heels that should le promptly "righted" as soon as they begin to wear to one side. If the toes of the foot show a tendency to overlop they should be rubbed with tl hands one or twice each day; and if this care be given when the curviug commences it will, as a rule, prcve' sufficient to correct any irregularitiej of this nature. If a nail is wayward in its growth, trim it only lightly at the opposite corner. If both comers grow too deeply into the flesh, c.Ip them carefully and lightly, and then scrape the center of the nail from the tip to near the root until it is thin and flexible. This process seldom fails to correct refractory nails provided, of. course, they are not neglected too long: Xew York Journal. -At a recent trial in Farmington, Me., a quick-witted reply was given by a wit ness at the close of a tedious cross-questioning. 'Now tell how many sheep you ever saw under oath, now, remember." "I never saw a sheep under oath," re plied the witness, "which closed the cross-examination.

HaB9rs of Advertising A scrap book of clippings from the advertising columns of the press reveals a mass of goodly bits of unconscious humor, of which only a few may be quoted here. From such a scrap book are taken the following specimens. Possibly some of them arc not so innocent of humorous intent as their Mource would wish to imply, but many of them must go as irrefutable evidence that Hibernianisms are not confined to the land which re joiced in its eminence as the birthplace of Sir Boyle Koche: "Ean de cologne water and "gants de Suede gloves" are luxuries which we arc told may be ours at ''ruinously low prices." A Chinese laundry man" will "wash aud iron a collar with a cape for 2 cents," and will cell "tea and coffee at equally low rates." A safe company wishes a traveling agent. '-28x18x8" -dimensions which are hard to find among men capable of traveling and carrying sample safes about the country with them, and for whom it is therefore considered neces sary to advertise. "A telanted, intelligent young man of many years experience wishes a position in a saloon as a liquor blender" an in dication that benevolent Boston has sent us something besides Kets aud pugilists. A keeper of a boardiug-house wishes to rent a "room to a gentleman, large, airy and square." Among the "rooms to rent" is also found a companion advertisement to the famous one which announced that "two sisters want washing," since a too hasty landlady is responsible for the alluring statement that she has "a handsome room, with bath for two." It was possibly a printer's error that was responsible for the naive announce ment that "Mine. Blank has for rent a room for a single gentleman ; beard very moderate. The landlord who advertises a Hat, "with all the modern improvements, no children," demonstrates that he docs not know whit "all modern improve mcnt3" arc ; and may be set down as be ing ful3- as untrustworthy as the per son who wishes to sell "au enormouslj profitable business for a mere song." "Xo bargains at this store," is candid, but sensational ; and one may reason ably distnist the coal dealer who asserts in big black letters that his "tons weigh 2,000 pounds," and that his "coal gives out heat." uMi-.fits bought and sold" strikes the reader as a foolish bit of candor on the part of the advertisement tailor, and when we read "that "we cannot begin to supply the demand for our $5 pants one begins to wonder why "we" adver tise. A firm on the Bowery wants a "putter-on at good wages." A facetious young stenographer, who dots his is and crosses his t's," and who wants a place in a large business house, is equalled only by tho watchman out of employment, to whom "wages and sleep are no object." A physician advertises for an "office boy who can drive." A person who does not give his business wishes to employ a good, steady man who has $200, at $12 a month. An author of "standing" will "write a book on any subject, for anybod, for moderate pay." Xeio York Sun. Claims Part or the Pension "I see that Joe Damon has just got a fat pension," remarked an Oxford ouuty nian to a Lewiston (Me.) Journal reporter. "I'm glad of it, and Joe ought to give me half of it, for if it hadn't been for me he would never have got it." "How's that, Jim," asked a bystander; "were you an important witness?" "Xo," replied Jim. "You see it was this way. Joe and I both lived in tho same Oxford countv town when the war broke out, and later on we were lioth drafted. I was working in the woods at the time for the Sandersons, up on the Magalloway Kiver. It was getting along in March when I received notice of it, and it was all hurry and drive about the camp, for we knew that sled ding would not last much longer, and of course every one was anxious to see the contract closed up as soon as possible. "When I told the boss that I had been drafted he told me to stick to my job till it was completed and he would see that I didn't sutler by it. Well, our job was finally finished, and I got home one night after dark. Before morning there was a rap at the door, and iu a few minutes I was under arrest and on my way to Auburn. While riding down there 1 told iuy storj- to the officer who had me iu charge, and asked if it was a dead sure thing that I must go to the front. He told me that it looked very much as if I should. "Se'eral of my townsman had skipped soon after being drafted, Joe among the rest, and uutil I appeared the town had lacked one of filling its quota; but he added: "I would rather see some of these fellows who have tried to run away go into tho sen-ice than you, and if we can find ai of them within a week you may get off." "I was put in Auburn jail, and a letter from home, a day or two later, told me that Joe's wife had let on that he was secreted in an old logging camp. I held my tongue until the iast day of the week was uncomfortably near and then I blowed on Joe. The next day he took my place, for the Sanderson's had been doing what they could for me, and I got off with a week in Auburn jail. "Keally, I wanted to go into the armv, but I had an invalid mother at home who could not bear the thought of my going and that's the way I helped Joe Damon get his pension.' She Could Not Eat. An interesting surgical operation has been performed in Buffalo. It has saved a yountr woman's life, and has also made her a great curiosity, The patient is under twenty years old, and for some time had gradually been losing power to swallow her food. Finally, she could not oven swallow her saliva It was seen that something must be done, or she would die of starvation. A hole was cut into her stomach and a tube was inserted. For months this was the only means by which nourish ment could be given to her. Food would be chopped up and placed in the tube and then washed down with water. In the meantime another operation was performed, which reopened the natural passage from the mouth to the stomach. This passage, through some strange freak of nature, had grown together. Careful nursing has since made it pos sible for the patient to take food through her mouth once more. TljfjJ tube in her stomach still remains, anal it is understood that some museum manager has been trying to secure the woman, to place her on exhibition. With au Eye to the Future. "Now, Addie," said the lover, "this is the last time that I will ask you will you mirry me?" " "I'm sure I don't know what to say. Is your mother a good cook ?" "She is not" "Does she 6ew the buttons on your fathers clothes?" "She does not. He fastens his sus penders with a shingle nail." "Do your sisters keep their stockings neatly darned?" "They do not.

It Ih About the Late Kmpcror Frederick unit Ih furious. Tiomo time ago Col. titoft'el, an authority in the military affairs of France and Ger many, published in Paris a pamphlet con cerning tho possibility and feasibility of a Franco-Gtriuan alliance against Russian pan-slavism, and Kussiuu barbarism gen erally. Tho sino qua non of such au alli ance, Col. Stoffel said, was that Germany 6uould return to Trance her lost provinces. The general discussion of Col. Stoffcl's novel ideas was interrupted by events of greater importance nt Berlin and Paris, but, according to the New 'ork .S'n,it has been revived by some rather sensational comments on it by the venerable Marshal Mai.-Mab.on. Siuco the accession of tho prcseut German emperor to the throne. Marshal MacMahon thinks, thero is no hope that France may get back her prov inces peacoably in tho near future. Had young William's father, however, lived to execute the foreign policy he had in his mind, France would have recovered Al sace and Lorraine without the tiring of a shot or the spilling of a drop of blood. "On the day after the batttle of Sedan, says the marshal, iu explanation of his unique opinions, "tho Crown Prince Fred erick called on me. I could not receive him on account of my wounds, but D'Ab zac. my adjutant, saw him and talked with him, and on tho following day related the conversation to mo. The Prussian Gen eral staff expected the war to end very soon, and had no idea that Paris could offer much resistance. '1 he Crown Priuce Frederick said: Heir vou Moltke is, in my opinion, about to make a p.rave mis take. He wishes to compel you to cede to us part of your territorj-.' I gave my views on the matter, and declared I hold snch a pionosal to bo a had error. I think I know the French, and that they could forgive every thine except ju-t such a crip pliug of their country. As soon as they regained their strength after thus loiug their territory they would try to get back all they had lost. They would, therefore, always le threatening tho peace aud safety of Prussia.' Th'so words t,t tho crown priuce, reported to mo by D'Abzac, impressed me deeply. I have never forgotteu them. I am sure that Frederick, as emperor, would not have al tered his views, but would hae been true to his former conviction that the annexa tion of Alsace aud Lorraine was a perma nent obstacle to any reconciliation of France and Germany. Fnder him Staffers proposal for a Franco-German nlli.ir.ee could have been considered seriously. Now it is out of the question." All of the German dailies, which are not entirely occupied with tho recent dove'op nieuts of impel ial politics at I'erliu, are trting to prove that th' old French sol dier is nttnnptiiiK to manufacture history, and that Unser Frit, never made any such utterances as those attributed to him bv D'Abzac. A Curiosity to Tenilei-feet. There is a mine jtM above Howardsville, Col., that is a curiosity to tiio tenderfiet and a sourceof profit to thy sakou man who lives near by. It is an ice mine, and tho ice is as clear and pure as that to ho found in the purest lake. Tho claim is owned by tho Xeigol s, who, iu the earlv days, ran a tunnel through tho frozen ground and struck a ppnug beyond. As the water Hows out of the tunnel it freezes, and tbc tunnel is now nearly Tilled to the loof with the ice. It has long supplied all the sa loons of Howardsvilio with ice, and, as it never thaws, winter or summer, the place is au objective point for curiosity seekeis. Robespierre in his Youth. A curious work on Kobespierro has lately been published in Paris. It gives au interesting anetdotc of his youth, rep resenting him at tho college Louis b Grand as a hoy of 11 or I 'J. reciting the address of welcome on the rc-asion of the visit of Louis XVI.
