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

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

\\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. "

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.

[ 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. * „ .
