The Island of San Nicolas was one

The Alaska Indians frequently vlsltc
the Island to hunt for the furs of the s <
otter. They took their women with the
on thoio hunts , and on returning afti
the hunt was over they left thorn on tl
Island to their fate. By order of tl
Government in 1835 the Indians WPI
removed from the Island. Just bofoi
they wore to embark , and carry awt
every human Inhabitant , as it was en
posed , a whlto Jndlan woman bogged fi
the privilege of going ashore for her chll
which she had accidentally left. SI

known that there was a worn
abandoned on the island , but no atiem
was made for her deliverance. As t
world eon forgota , so the woman of S
Nicolas was forgotten , and the yc
passed away. After a lapse of slite
years a man who landed , on the Isla
found that It was inhabited by some 01

From their aizo they evidently belong

of brush , aix or seven foot tlitongh , were
aeon , where aomo ono had lived. Near
the huts were sticks driven In the ground
nnd dried blabber hanging on thorn , thus
prepared fbr food.
In 1852 Sun Nicolas wai visited again
and Another hunt Tras made for the long-
lost woman. The hats were scon that
had been scon before , but the old blnb-
bor had boon taken away and now food
of the kind hung In Us placo. Wild dogs
were found which ran away at
the approach of civilized man. In a
baako cpvcred with sealskins that they

The discoverers of these proofs that there
llvod on that Island n human bolng neat-
tered them on the ground , and on their
return they found them gathered together -
or and placed In the basket again.
The Catholic fathers of the "Old Mis
sion , " the foremost In every good word
nnd work , offered a reward to any ono
who weald find the lost woman , nnd a
third effort was made In 1853 to discover
the prodigal , about whom there was such
a mystery , and In whom the world of this
coast was beginning to take an interest.
Fresh tracks of the womou were found.
They belonged to very small foot , nnd
were like those that were seen In the first
attempt to find the woman. Huts made
of whale ribs and covered with brush
wora discovered. At length an object
was uceu in the distance that
appeared to bo moving. Going
towards It they saw the woman that for
eighteen years bad reigned queen of San
Nicolas , her subjects being the wild ani
mals , her robe n dress of bird skins she
had made , and her throne iho hut she
bad built. She was seated in an enclos
ure , so that only her head and shoulders
could bo seen , Tire or three dogs were
nbout her that disappeared nt the com
mand of their sovereign. She was seated
on some grass that covered the ground
and served her ns n bed. Her dreas was
neatly made of bird-skins , extending to
her ankles , the feathers of which pointed
downward. Her head wan covered with
a thick mat of yellowish brown hair , nnd
her shoulders were baro. She was occu
pied in chipping blabber from a soal-nkln
which aho held across her knee , and
using for that purpose a knlfo made of
nn iron hoop. In her hut was n fire , be
side which aho sat talking to herself and ,
occasionally shading her eyes with her
hand , looked nt the men that were In
search of her. She received them with
much courtesy , bowing and smiling- ,
and showing that this lost child
of natnro had much of the
politeness of a true woman. She
took some roots In the bag , roasted them
In the fire , and gave thorn to the men to
eat. She gathered np nil her food , which
was her chief concern , owing to the
famines she had experienced , washed
herself at the spring , and followed the
men choorfally to the boat. On being
taken to Santa Barbara , she manifested
great delight on solng the sights of civ
ilization. She became n universal
favorite and was presented with many
gifts. Passengers on the Panama
steamer that landed there nil wanted to
see the lost woman of San Nicolas. She
related by algns her experience c n the
Island , as she spoke n language that none
of the Indians know , and none of the
Spanish fathers versed in Indian dialects
could understand. Civilization , which
prolong ! } the life of some , shortened that
ot the woman of San Nicolas. An es >
CCBBIVO love of fruit led to her death in
Santa Barbara at the ago of fifty. She
was burled with the honors of the
Catholic church by the Franciscan
fathers , nnd her drees and trinkets were
sent to Rome and placed In that recepta
cle of the world's curiosities.
The story of the loat woman of San
Nicolas will always remain a wonder
ment. Her ingenuity is seen In the palls
she xnadn of grata , made to hold water
by smearing them with melted aahphal-
tnm , and in her bird-skin dresses , her
bono noodles , her knlfo of Iron hoop nnd
the language she Invented nnd spoke. It
Is Inexplicable to all who have learned
her story , how a woman could live
eighteen years on an Island nround which
the waves were boating a requiem to
hope , getting her food and cooking It
without oven these facilities which are
common to the savage , and making her
dresses neatly without the aid of needles
except what she carved out of bono. She
laid aside ono dress for eighteen yeara ,
to be worn when the whlto
men should come , of which she had a pre
sentiment. She built her own house ,
protected herself from the cold , gained
supreme control over the wild beasts
about her , and preserved her love for
men and women forjwell high two decides
of human llfo alone in the wild. With
no previous knowledge of civilization ,
solitude appeared to have educated her
for it. An ordinary woman would hove
perished with despondency In such a desolate
elate , hungry , naked , shelterless outlook.

DAY IN RICHMOND ,
A Night ol Terror In Which Fifty
Pcoplo Died of Fright.
Murray in Washington Republican ,
During January , February and March
18C5 , the people of Richmond , who had
orst boon so defiant in their bearing and
so perfect In their confidence of the ina
bility of Gen. Grant to capture the city ,
began to parttko of the undefined appre
hension of evil which certainly pervaded
the rank * of Gon. Loo's army. The con
federate authorities , however , moved
heaven and oartb , so to speak , to main
tain confidence among the citizens , and
they were so far successful that no general -
oral exodus from the capital of the con
federacy occurred. In fact , where were
the frightened ones to fly to find a
haven of rest , a city of refuge ? Gen ,
Sherman was coming np from the
south , Early had been knocked Into a
cocked hat by Sheridan , southwest Vir
ginia was being Invaded , so that Richmond
mend seemed as safe a place as any ; and
again , to leave the city and go Into thr >
stripped and desolate country meant
simply starvation for any largo number
of fugitives. The news of the alleged
burning of Columbia , the capital of South
Carollnaby , the army of Gon. Sherman ,
accompanied as it was with allegations
that It was in revenge for the firing on
Sumtor and the passage of the first ordi
nance of secession by the state , intensi
fied the feelings of apprehension among
the people of Richmond , forIf in Colum
bia , the , fiat had gone forth , Vic vlctlsl
what could ba oxpcctod should the hotbed -
bed of confederate resistance bo sctlzod
upon by thoconquorlng northern legions ?
Nothing but a well kept dairy by ono
behind the scenes of the confederate cap-
ithl In these Inttor days would glvo a
definite idea of the dismay and terror
which prevailed. And it was not only
from the enemy that danger was feared.
There was riot and Insubordination with
in the gatoa as It were , for on several oc
casions mobs of thousands , headed by
WOMEN AS RECKLESS AND DANOEMUS
as the potrolcusos of the Paris commune ,
had paraded the streets , breaking into
and ransacking the bakeries , the provis
ion stores and the markets , and who were
only dispersed when a strong iorce of the
military was brought to boar upon
them.
Toward the end of March , when it was
evident from the good condition of the
roads and certain ominous movements in
the federal lines that a general assault
was imminent on Gen. Loo's lines , the
feeling of apprehension was Intensified to
absolute dismay. Whatever braggadocio
may have been Indulged In , no reason
able man believed for a moment that
Gon. Leo could withstand the determined
assault of his powerful adversary.
The condition of the confederate army ,
its disparity of force , its lack of supplies ,
its deficiency in cavalry ( the bulk of the
cavalry was with Wade Hampton oppos
ing Gon. Sherman's advance ) were patent
to all
A few days ago the writer met with a
yonng lady the daughter of ono o ! the
auditors of the state now a stately ma
tron and mother of children who gave me
some points as to the state of affairs in
Richmond after the receipt of the news
of Gen. Sherman's victory at Five
Forks.
That Saturday night all Richmond
wont to bed feeling gloomily , assured
.that the end had come. The next mornIng -
Ing all the churches were crowded with
' people , who prayed fervently. If they
never prayed before. St. Paul's church
was packed and jammed , for this was the
church attended by President Davis and
hla family. Ho and his family wore
promptly in their pew at the usual hour.
Whllo the congregation were entering
the church the roar of battle then going
around Petersburg was distinctly audible.
When the pastor , Rev.Mr. Mlnnegercdo ,
arose to begin the services ho scarcely
commanded the attention of the audi
ence.
AIL EYES WERE UPON Mil. DAVIS1 PEW ,
where ho sat , somewhat paler than usual ,
but apparently calm and collected. At
every opening of the door of the church
the congregation nervously- turned in
their scats to view the now comer. Every
countenance was s'ralned and anxious.
Before the services had proceeded far the
coxtcn was soon coming down the aialo ,
and his countenance and gate portrayed
the excitement nndorwhich | ho was laborIng -
Ing , and which he IT as vainly endeavor
ing to conceal. Ho approached Mr.
Davis , touched him on the shoulder , and
whispered a forr words In his car. It
should bo explained hero that the cflicar
with Gen. Lea's ' dispatch was waiting at
the door. Mr. Davis turned to his wife ,
spoke to her briefly , and , rising , walked
firmly down the rlsles and out of the
door , Mrs. Davis and her children remain
ing in their ioats. When Mr. Davis wont
out the congregation , gezing fearfully at
each ether , mutely Inquired : "What does
it mean ? What has happened ? " The pas
tor , although evidently nervous himself ,
proceeded with the services , but when
Mr. William H. McFarland , president of
ono of the banks , was called nut by the
sexton , the tension on the minds of the
audience was too great to bo borno. Sev
eral ladies fainted , and the congrega
tion boqan to drop out in spite of the as-
snranco of the pastor that there was no
cause for alarm. The services ncro then
abruptly closed , and those who remained
dismissed ,
Now , it had been ordered that In case
of serious alarm the large bell in the
capltol grounds should bo jangled rapid ) ;
and contlnously. With characteristic
speed madam rumor had spread the nowi
from St. Paul's church soon after the
president left and somebody sounded the
alarm on the boll , and soon the entire
population of the city was on the streeU
seeking news from tbo front. That wat
a long , weary Sunday of mental torture
for the inhabitants of Richmond on the
James , for nothing but

fled to their homes and drew bolts and

but feared the worst. There were few
people who undressed and went to bed
that eight. Tlieso people suffered tor
ment that Sunday night , such ns the people
plo of no city of the country have bcon
forced to undergo slnco the landing of
Captain John Smith.
Shortly after midnight the military
authorities blow np the gunboats and
steamboats lying just below the city , and
tbo terrific explosions seemed to the
terrified people as the crack of doom. I
have been credibly Informed by an old
resident of Richmond that about fifty

Then the tobacco factories , near
Rockott's , were sot on fire , and soon the
whole hoavona appeared to ba in a
blaze.
Before this tlmo , however , about 11
o'clock Jefferson Davis , hla cabinet , and
ether confederate officials loft the city on
a train , which , It has bcon charged , Gon.
Lee had ordered to bo filled with provis
ions to bo transported to Amelia Court
house , on the line ot his intended retreat -
treat , and the want of which caused nn
earlier disintegration of his army
than would have otherwise oconrrcd.
The party took w'ith them all the gold In
the banks and In the confederate treas
ury. About the eamo hour the state
government authorities , including the
legislative solons , adjourned to a packet
boat on the canal , and they prudently
had hitched on n double force of mules
In order to got nway faster "down to
Lynchburg town. " Gov. Extra Billy
Smith , however , and a few others dis
trusted the ' 'raging canawl" locomotion ,
and wont uii horseback down the towpath -
path in the same direction.
It is noodlcss to relate how , after the
confederate troops had retreated through
the city , ether houses caught fire from
the blazing tpbacoa factories , There being -
ing no organized attempt to check the
fire , and the llimes being spread by In-
condlarica intent upon robbery , the
whole business portion of the city
was soon a sea of fire , The people anx
iously awaited the advent of the
federal troops , expecting that the utter
destruction of the city would then ensue ,
and when the head of a column of a
negro regiment of cavalry , with drawn
sabres , came moving up toward the catri-
tel square , the whites Hod to their
houses In ultor despair. If over a
people in the last extremity were joyfully
saroriaod by nn unhoped-for deliverance ,
then the citizens of Richmond wero. No
sooner had the federals entered than they
wont to work to put out the fires and re-
ttoro order. The troops Insulted no ono ,
entered no private houses , and robbed
nobody. The general In command Issued
a proclamation that private property
wonld bo respected and protection given
to all who behaved themselves. The in
habitants breathed freely once more ,
after months of harrowing suspense.

When the child was presented to the

In the county of Hortj I stopped to
talk with a farmer , who was cutting down
his tall , handsome hay rick and loading
the hay for the London market. Ho
was a lively , progrosslvo sort of a man ,
who had bcon an emigrant to Australia ,
and , after a long residence there , hstf
again returned to the homo farm In Eng
land , and , like many others who hrtd
lived years away from England , ho had
returned with insny broad ideas in his
mind. Speaking with him of the bad
boor-drinking habits of the English la
borers , ho said the great trouble was they
would not use the boor in moderation. A
moderate use of boor ho though might bo
beneficial to thorn. I asked him to toll
mo what his idea of .moderation In this
regard was. Ho replied that in haying
time , which in Old as in Now England Is
a period when the farm hand Is expected
to work unusually hard , a laboring man
ought to bo able to get along on a gallon
of beer a day. If the men would put up
with about that quantity boor wonld not
hurt thorn ,
Thoao very astonishing "tomparanoo"
views I afterward hoard advanced by
other qnlto Intelligent English farmers.
In giving the statement of the vast num
ber of arrests for drunkenness that are
annually made iu England , an American
ought to remember that laws are prob
ably moro strictly enforced In England
than In any ether country on the face of
the earth. I found that many English
laborers sccmod to live almost entirely
on boor. A very llttlo broad nnd n largo
amount of beer seemed to make np their
daily sustenance. I remember cooing nn
English laborer , who had himself aban
doned Its uao , holding up before mo a
very small loaf of broad a loaf about
the eizo of a ooffco cup and exclaiming :
"Soo this ; ono of our hard workers will
make a day's food out of this , if you
will glvo him boor enough to go with
it. " I used frequently to ooo these
boor-drinkers silting in the taprooms at
all times of the day , but they were most
in the habit of awarming into these
places nt night. It Is often the custom
for a llttlo clique of British workmen to
sit down around the plain pine table in
the boor house and begin the evening by
ordering a quart pewter pot of boor be
tween thorn. They paea this around from
mouth to mouth with a "drink , mate , "
chatting the while. When the mug is
exhausted It is , "Horo , missus , another
pot of beer ; " and so they keep It up until
the evening is over. The quantity of
beer and English worklngman will getaway
away with Is certainly astonishing. A
Bedforoshlro man told mo of a neighbor
of his who was what they there termed a
"broad-and-chcoso " "fol-
- - carpenter , or a
low-tho-fiold carpenter , ' that Is , a carpen
ter who has no regular job of his own ,
but who did odd jobs at his trade out of
doors ; who made a regular practice of
drinking ton quarts of boor a day. Ho
would do this year in and year out and
keep steadily at his work.

A Now Use for Bed SpringB.
Detroit Fieo Press.
A few days ago , after a firs which
partly consumed a dwelling honso on
Third street , the owner permitted a gang
ot Polacks to carry off a lot of damaged
f urnituro. A spring bed fell to the lot of
an old man. The cover had been de
stroyed , and several of the cells were
missing , but ho accepted the present with
every expression of gratitude , and as ho
carted it away his fellow-countrymen cast
many an envious glance in his direction.
The same afternoon the donor had bus
iness in Polo town , and as ho rode along
the Polo to whom ho had given the bed
ran out and made motions for him to
come In.
"Blesd his old soul I but ho's got these
springs fixed up and wants mo to see
what a nice bed ho has , " said the citizen
to himself , and ho followed the man
around the house.
There was the spring bed. The man
had bnllt a pig pen , and the gift just
made a front for it. The wire colla were
placed on the inside , and the occupant of
the pen was scratching against them and
squealing with delight.
"Good ! " said the Polack as ho pointed
to the pen.
"Y-O-B. "
"Got more ? "
"No , my friend , I haven't. I've run
clear out of bed springs , but if yon call
around tc-morrow I'll hunt you up
rocking chair and looking glass for your
hog pen I Hang a man who'll sleep on a
pair of $12 bed springs when they tickle
a pig In this fashion 1"
