( Copvrtglii , 18S ! > , l > y Ktlgtir TI * . A'/e. | / ) Visiting Ohio recently , and especially PcqUa , the birth place of a Pawnee chief prophet , I have concluded to revive - * vivo some bf the memories nnd old war reminiscences of the old battle of Tippocanoo , calling to my aid the re- tentlvo memory of the historian nnd my own fobrllo imagination. Historical facts nro of themselves llko the wire foundation of a beautiful bonnet naked , they nro destitute of beauty , but decorate them with the gorgeous word painting of a heaven born genius nnd they become the bonutiful KAbTm HOXNK18 OK LITKUATUUE. T'ortunntely for mo , at the tlmo of my visit , 1 came across a little volume issued during the present year by Mr. Hoed Board , a young man twonty-sovon years of ago , who is totally blind. It is called the "Battlo of Tippecanoo , " andes os I felt that I had certainly seen as much of the battle as ho hud , I began critically ; to read his work , nnd if I found that his view of the engagement agreed with mine , I thought I would give Jho book a reading notice in our paper. Aside from the very trilling error , perhaps , on page 16 , whore Mr. XJonrcl rotors to the Ctiippowas ns the tribe of Indians utili/od by Mr. Long fellow , whereas it was the Dacotahs or BIoux used in Hiawatha , I have found no historical holes in his narrative , nnd , with great pleas ure , I allude to the book as ono of \vhioh a man with two good eyes and a pair of pebble glasses might well bo proud , nnd a blind man oven more so. It was in 1811 that the firm of Prophet & Brother went into the general slaughter and rapine business , hoping , by close attention to ono nnd all , to piorit the public patronage and give general satisfaction. Prophet and his brother , Tocumsch , wore descendants from Georgia stock jvnd thoroughly well fcred , neither they nor tholr nncostors taving done a lick of work for cen turies. Like nil well bred people who cannot boar the odor of honest porspi- pation , they began early to give their attention to crime. Satan , who aims to supply little jobs of suicide , homicide /iiid germicide for idle hands to do , and who has maintained his reputation all the way down from Eve to Ward Mc- Alistor , read the sign of Prophet & { Brother , nnd made arrangements with . them to handle Ohio , Indiana and Illi nois in his interests. Prophet was called by his tribe Lahn- , wa8lkaw , or Loud Voice. Ho was the author of a new religion among his peo- ijplo. Ho believed in prohlbltious piety 'and ' indolence. His idea was that sanc- .iltity could bo so cultivated and fostered tbat it would tnlco the place of industry , rile allowed that the Lord would pro vide. Ho united what may bo called the High Churchsand Horse Chestnut Schools of Theology , viz : Ho combined fhe unlinnuBsioned and geometrical style ofjreliglon with the deep , abiding if oath which enables a low brewed horse chestnut to make a stubborn case of rheumatism go right away from thoro. "Ptophct had been nicknamed Loud Voice because of his ability to test the acoustic properties of Ohio. Ho could address an open air mooting as far as the eye conld roach. . .Ho was also inclined to bo a little bit arbitrary , nnd when anybody found fault with him. or doubted his stato- nionts , ho generally noticed right away that something was the mutter with his Jongovjty. A great many people saved tholr lives by being UK HAiToiiT vri'tn TUB PROPHET. The brothers , or Messrs. Prophet and ffcoumseh , were opposed by a chief jnnmod Black Hoof. Ho did not proph ecy at nil , but called to his aid what has been referred to by Plutarch ns horse pen&o. By this means ho saw at once ltint ) it was a mistake for the Indian to Ice to war with the white man , and es- \ cially'without the endorsement of jtutJ press. Black Hoof lived to bo 110 , 'ciii-s old , and would have lived much .ongor. no doubt , had ho not changed lis heavy underwear in , March for a ightcr suit which ho found on a clothes luo one evening on the banks of the river in Ohio. They ware pot quite dry. , In 1807 the Prophet nnd Tecumseh rat lie rod several hundred of tholr fol lowers together and in obedience to jo. command from the Great Spirit , lo- 'cated on some land which they had pcdcd to the white people in.1705. The people of Ohio and Indiana could not l > rook this. It was nt this time that the Ohio men and the Indiana men wont fo Washington- protect their intor- jouts , u habit which they have i.over Iraon able to entirely overcome. Toeumsoh was moro of an orator than tils brother , but not so good an organ izer. Moreover , his brother could ' BEAT HIM TO DEATH I'ltOl'IIESVIND. Tecumseh was the original Tall Syca more of the Wabash. Ho upoko with iat lluonoy , and when a big tripe or ttorllng banquet was given by his oplo , ho would always go nnd pay for nuial by moans of a few desultory , i Tecumhoh had a kind of Lawrence JBarrott style of declamation , which on- , doiu-od him to all hearts , and caused film to hold himself in the very hghost } psteom. Kluvating his voice and the torlco of ailmission to their full height , ) io would declaim in stentorian tonox ivhlch mtido ono forgot nil his other /WOCH. lie spoke without notes , nnd pould think of a great many things "which did not actually exist. Putting Jits thumb to his girdle nnd i-onking tiack on his pastern joints , ho would look ut thn proscenium box on the right , tiud looking L. U. K. , like a man nvlio guts but .a dollar a day to work on , ho boulevard , lie would tulle like vjarco Hoicraris when ho invoke to die BId-.t llunio and smoke , or woke to I'eur its hontry's shriek , "Tonrmsl Tourmsl jL'tto Ort'ok ! The Greek ! " Tecumseh , therefore , was the first to ntrodiiro wlmt may bo called the . JLnrry Hrannlgan style of acting , in jKiunh pathos ig marked by pulling put the tromulo of the vex Juimana to It * fuHoxtont while extromn anger is ) exitr i > 9Cl by moans of a low , guttural law fttorlnrous breathing , punctuated , i1 with short , impatient snorts like those , ( > r n ( at man eating Imaginary spaghetti n liU Miimbors. \\Mthtliesotwobrothor8 thus united .hoy hociime n great power. The [ fioimct easily aupoalod to the lui licontloui. while Tecumnah took was left , vi . , the literary and dramatic element of the Shawnco tribo. While the Prophet was said to hnvo boon the abler orator of the two , ho never spoke in council while Tecumseh was present. The idea of acting us n irohcr between thn Indians and the 3 re tit Spirit first occurred to Tecumseh nnd was acted upon by the Prophet , who translated liberally the IlKMAUKS OK Tilt : O1U5AT SI'IUIT to the red man , so us to do well out of it lilmsolf. The prophet wont to see Governor Harrison in 1808 , nt which tlmo ho said , among other things : "Father , I w.-ts told you intended to hang mo. I was also told , my father , that you wanted to know whether I was n god or man , and If I was the former , you thought I ought not to steal horses. IB this true ? " "Yes , " said the governor. "I said that ns a god you could not'oxpoct to liold your position so long as you stele tiorscs. That is all I said about that. " "Then I hoard also that you said wo must not drink whisky. Is that so. my father ? " "Well , I said that I thought the red brother of the Ban Baw forest and the Unison Wood jungle should not drink whisky BO long us there wns so much suffering among the white mon , nnd also that ns a. representative of the Great Spirit , it weakened your influ ence with the people and made your prophesies road rather raw in the [ > apors when you got drunk. That was what I said. " The governor and Prophet soon oamo Lo an understanding , but Prophet was at heart n free trader nnd loved King [ Joorgo. This wont on till 1810 , when the governor sent n letter to Prophet at Tippocanoo , giving him further assur ances of the good will of the United States if ho would quit getting drunk and prophesying nt the same tlmo. Ho said that after the fatigue of editing a prophecy ho did not think it would bo wrong for him to take a nip quietly , especially as ho was a prohibitionist , but ho did uot think it right for him to try nnd comblno prophecy and in ebriety , "for , " said Governor Harrison , very truly and Bucoinctly , "if all of us were to put down as revelation all the peculiar things wo see while drunk our literature would certainly suffer. " Shortly afterwards Tecumseh was told by the governor that ho desired to see him. Tecumseh then packed a small medicine bag made of the skin of a chipmunk with a change of clothing in case ho should be gene a long tfmo , and called on Governor Harrison , during which time Tecumseh made several ringing speeches. They showed great thoughtand were uttered in n "Fourth Reader" style that sounded something like "Tho Aged Indian's Lament , " and bomo like "Tho Burial of Sir John Moore. " In the course of his remarks , according to ono of the his torians , ho took occasion to say : "Father , wo have boon led to suppose that you wished to land on our shores , cat your luncheon , catch a few pickerel and then go away. But you've como far o'er the sea , but you've went not back , I sco. You have caught our largest and most fragrant muskrats. You have bored holes in our boo trees. You have bathed in our rivers and especially in Ohio rivor. Last fall a white man killed ono of our warriors , who is a somnam bulist and pessimist , shot him with buck shot while exorcising ono of your horses , tind then left him there till his friends hesitated about going near him. "Is that nny way for brothers to treat each other ? "I know that our old chief sold to you a portion of the United States in 1705 , but his wife did not sign the deed , and if so , it was before she was taken apart ns required by the law. "How can wo have confidence in the white people ? When Jesus Christ came on earth you killed him and nailed him to , the cross. You admit it yourself. The white people want the earth , and they may got it , but in the happy hunt ing grounds you will bo able to detect only a slight flavor of white man , and you will notice that in the soup. " This graphic description of the battle of Tippecanoo will bo continued next week. BILL NYE. THE CUBAN FIRE-FLY. Rending anil Maklin ; n. Photograph by Its Llirlit. A most interesting experiment has re cently boon mndn in taking a photo graph by the light of the Cuban flro-uy , bays the Solontillo American. The species of this insect belonging to tno United States is well known , 'but its light producing powers are very feeble compared with those of its relatives , the lantern-flies , or cucupos , of Cuba , Brazil and Mexico. It is said that persons traveling by night in the tropical for est nro accustomed to place these flro booties on their boats to light the way , and that Cuban ladies mount the cu- cuyoa as gems for their hair nnd cloth ing. A living specimen ot these tropi cal iiiBOcts was recently presented to the Bridgeport Scientific society. It is about an inch and a half long , nnd bears upon each side of Its body oval spots , re sembling oyos. In the dark these spots omit u greenish light , resembling that of tiny electric lamps in full glow. If the cucuyo is placed on a watch dial its light will enable ono to tell the time of night , and it also clearly illuminates a small printed page. It radiance seems to bo in a measure under the control of the will , for when a gas jet is rapidly turned on and olT the insect , whether from rivalry or some other motive , is sure to do his boat. After various trials of the insect's power , the experiment of photographing by its light was suc cessfully carried out. A copy of a fam ily portrait was made , the insect being held within an inch of the original , and in such a way that the rays fell perpen dicularly on the negative. The time of exposure to bug light was about thirty seconds. _ _ Pimples , blotches , scaly skin , ugly Simla , sores and ulcers , Abscesses and tumors , unhealthy discharges , such as catarrh , eo/.ema , ringworm , and other forms of skin discuses uro symptoms of blood Impurity.

Xlin Snvnce AVnr Dnnco mill tlio Ilor * ilblo Kites orthc Mull They Objcotc < l to Bolna , Sacrificed. Thn Zulu AVnr Dnnon. PliKTOllIA , South Africa , March 2. [ SpooinlCorroapondoncoot TitifiBKK. ] The war dnnco IB n great Institution among all the South Afrhcan tribes. Before engaging in a battle it la a sine qua non. Indeed , mostsnvnga tribes In any part of the world have a war dnnco ; but , as a rule , this dance is simply a scctio of wild disorder , each warrior shouting , yelling and brandishing his wonpoYis Without nny aim nt discipline. With the Zulus It Is a very different affair , they boing'.guldod by a discipline and precision of drill equal to that Found In a regular army of civilized sol- dlnrs. Before assembling for the dance they paint tholr faces a scarlet or rea color , put on all tholr ornaments and carry tholr arms as if going Into battlo. Bolng assembled , they form In Hires , all the while contorting their features in a horrible manner and working thoin- solves up to a TUKMKNDOUB PITCH OF I5XCITKMKNT. They commence by stamping their foot in perfect time with each other. Then the war song is raised and the drum hounded. The vigor of the stamping continually increases in. proportion to the excitement. With a yell tno vholo body of men leap into the air simultane ously , as if actuated by a shock of elec tricity , the war song is chanted louder and louder and in accordance with Its rhythm they leap from side to side , coming down to the earth like a huge battering ram. Utterly lost in excitement they continue the dance , their faces frightfully contorted and of an nbsolutuiy demoniacal expression until the chief gives the order to dis band.When under the Influence of the war dance they nro quite devoid of fear and will rush to the cannon's mouth , those behind clambering over the fallen and dead in front. It may bo imagined that , when Cetowayo had 30,000 of these warriors assembled at Fort Weber it was no child's play for the small British force of 800 men to contend with them. The Zulus fought like demons , while the British mowing thorn down like hay with the Galling guns , wore in danger of being literally swept away by the vast numerical su periority of the Zulus. Nearly half the small British force was killed before the Zulus wore repulsed. The English government has now established rela tions mote or less friendly with most of the South African tribes and in seine case's the tribes have adopted WHITE MEN AS CHIEFS. Notable among those is the now cele brated John Dunn. This man , a native of Ireland , has been in this country many years. Ho wus a trader , and bo- camp very friendly with the kaflirs. During a war between the Usibopus and Dinnizulus , ho joined thq. , former , and wus succebsful in defeating the latter. After the war ho was offered absolute power , lands and cattle , and. the pick of the ladies of the tribe for his wives if ho would become their chief. The latter inducement was more than the gallant son of Erin could withstand , and ho throw in his lot with the warriors. Ho lives in barbaric splendor , and owns vast tracts of lands , herds of cattle and horses. I once had an offer of a position similar to that of John Dunn. Whilst in Pretoria , Prince Siccoocuni , of the tribe of that name , invited mo to join his tribe. Ho offered to give mo lirst position in his nation , his sister , the princess , as chief wife , with as many others as I wished , together with a hut for each , and as many oxen and as much land as I desired. Treating the wht.lc thing as a joke , I consented. Directly after the prince came along ac companied by the dark princess for his acceptance. "There is a tide in the affairs of men , which , taken at the flood , leads on to fortune. " I was much disposed to think that the tldo In my affairs was at the flood , but the thought of the fair face and bright eyes of a true-hearted girl far away weighed more in the balance than all the inducements offered by the generous - orous barbarian. I was compelled to oxcueo myself with the best grace pos sible under the circumstances. THE MEDICINE MAN. Next to the chief in Kafllr tribes the rautl ( medicine man ) has perhaps the most Influence. Ho is looked on as possessing supernatural powers , and is supposed to stand high in favor with Incosi Pesulu ( the Great Spirit ) , but to judge by his appearance , ono would conclude that ho was a minion of his satanio majesty rather than an angel of the gods. Ho paints his face and body In a most demoniacal fashion , be decks his nocK and jirms with snakes and other loathsome reptiles , garlands Ills hoau with crows' feathers , and practices all kinds of fraud on the people , exacting largo gifts for himself , and oxen as sariflces to the Great Spirit. Some times oven human victims are de manded. In the latter case the victim is generally ono who has incurred the displeasure of the Mutl. I had a nar row escape from ending my days as a propitiation of that kind. Being amongst the Sitantas , and the conntry being badly in need of rain , the Muti having trfod all other moans without producing the desired results , declared that a human sacrifice was desired to apnoaso the displeasure of the Great- Spirit , and accordingly the necessary preparations wore ontorcd upon. A great feast was prepared. The people gathered , forming a circle , In the center - , tor of which was the Mutl. Fires were kindled , and ton oxen were , ono by on6 , slaughtered , the boasts being led by a number of young men to the Mutl , who all the time repealing some unintolli- gablu jargon , stabbed thorn with a long knife , catching the blood In vessels , wallowing in it and scattering it all around and high in the air amidst the shoutings and wild dancing of the chosen assistants , the I'OOH 1IKUTKS WIULK YKT AL1VK being ripped open , the entrails torn out and flung hot and smoking on the fire. The flesh was then rousted and oaten by the people , the muti all the time bran dishing his bloody knife and chanting a wild , demoniacal song. Than came the awful moment when ho would point out from among the people the human vic tim destined to bo ottered as a sacrifice. As ho passed along the lines from ono to another many trembled with four , whilst abject terror was painted on many faces. Ho came at length to the spot whore I with two friends were lo cated , hesitated for a moment , passed on , but returned again , and drawing his bloody knife across my shoulder , yelled out , "Bassollal Bassolla ! " ( "Tho victim ! The victiml" ) at the same time com manding four young tnon who had hold the oxen for the knife , to approach aud the 8aorlfit ? ltit thb great spirit might have liumjffi" ftlood to drink and brcntho the fragrnncp of the ascending smoke of his roasted honrt. Being ttomawltal'nuprolionaivo of the turn affairs mlghLtauo , I and my two friends had taken the precaution of carrying our amis' , and not seeing the matter in the sTtino light na the muti , wo prewired to defend ourselves. In Utb6 present state of excitement , Hi\tli 'uolos3 ' to attempt a parley. So , 'hsdtho Servitors np- proilchcd , without/ moment's hesita tion wo flrod on thqrtA TWO Hir/fc ; DKAD , and taking aim nt"io villainous priest , I sent a bullet through his head , which sent him to bio last account , and before the people could recover from tholr astonishment , wo took to our heels and , gaining a rock , placed our backs against It , determined to sell our lives as dearly as possible , if any further attempt was made on us. The muti bolng dead , consultation was held amongst the chief and his advlsorswho evidently decided not to carry on the pnmo any further. In a parley which followed wo ex plained to the chief very plainly what the consequences would DO to him and his tribe if wo were harmed when the news reached our friends on the coast. Wo were not subjected to further out rage , the only stipulation bolng that wo leave tholr country at once , a condition wo were not loathe to comply with. There is no cannibalism amongst oven the lowest and most degraded tribes of South Africa. They have different religions and forms of worship. Some of thorn have a be lief in two great spirits , ono of evil and one of good who con stantly war with each other , sometimes the good prevailing and sometimes the evil , so to bo safe they render about equal adoration to each , their worships being actuated solely by notions of fear. Others believe only in ono great power to whom they attribute qualities of a mixture of good and ovil. Their deity sometimes is in a mild , -amiable ana benevolent mood , and lit others Is blood thirsty and cruel. There are tribes who bollovo the spirit of the deity ea ters into the crocodile and consequently they render to this brute dlvmo homage. These tribes have a priesthood set apart to the worship of this deity. Tholr duties are to hold communion with the st'iniT IN Tin : CUOCODILK and communicate his commandments to the people. The inconti , or high priest seldom makes his revelations direct to the people , but generally through sub ordinates. The incoati is provided with a sanctuary in which ho holds communion with the deity. This sanc tuary is the center hut of about one hundred all enclosed by a tall palisade made of bamboo and interlaced , so as to make it impossible to see through. The huts surrounding 'tho'centor ' ' ono are for the use of /subordinate priests. None but the priests' are allowed to outer the enclosure and none over enter the center hut or sanctuary ex cept the incoati. 'JHoro ho professes to have converse with the spirit , who rc- voals himself in wmystcrioUs manner in the format a cr6dodilo. The priest is fearved and avoided by the populace on the few occasions' that he does appear outsido. * . Horn ford's /Xctcl Phosphate. Makes an Invigorating Drink with water and sugU'r only.
