CRIMINAL SENSATION IN HEN UY
COUNTY.
Twenty Years Just Given a Negro Out
ruger When Another Victim Iteeog
nizes anil Denounces Him—Determin
ed Lynchers Frustrated in their At
tempt to Meet out Speedy Punishment.
Atlanta, April 21.—1 n the Superior
Court of Henry county, Leonard Johnson,
colored, was indicted for assault with in
tent to commit a criminal outrage on a
young country girl named Harris, and
convicted. In view of Johnson’s bad
character and his escape from the chain
gang, he was given the extreme penalty
of the law in such cases, which is twenty
years imprisonment. He was about to be
remanded to jail when a sensation was
created in the court house by the appear
ance of Mrs. Cook, a lady of that county,
who identified the prisoner aa one w ho had
recently perpetrated an ow+twe on her
person when she was alone at
her home in that county, and
unprotected. This startling revelation
created profound excitement in the vil
lage, and the grand jury immediately
brought in a second indictment against
Johnson for rape. The prisoner upon this
w*»s immediately locked up in the county
jail, and the Judge detailed an extra
guard of armed men to protect the build
ing, as grave fears were enter
tained that these revelations would
cost the fiend his life. The precautions
were timely, for at a late hour last night
it body of disguised and tinned men ap
proaehed the jail to take Johnson out and
hang him. The attempt was frustrated
by the bold front of the jail guard, who
opened a sharp fire on the raiders, who
were dispersed. Johnson was brought to
Atlanta to-day for safe-keeping.
GOULD’S GREED FOR GOLD.
Ratifying ili«- Merger anil Scheming for
Other Line- to Conquer.
New York, April 21. The stockhold
ers of the Western I nion Telegraph Com
pany met to-day to ratify the lease of the
Mutual I nion Telegraph company’s lines
in accordance with the rulingof the court.
There was only one dissenting voice, and
that came from Josiah C. Reiff, a holder
of one hundred shares of Western Union
stock. Through his lawyer he submitted
a written protest against any vote being
taken on various grounds, the principal
ones being because it was a competing and
not a connecting line; that its consolidation
was contrary to law and in opposition to
the constitutions of sundry States. He
protested also against the reception of
votes representing any of the $15,000,000
increase in stock and claimed that the
stock was now so blended that it was im
possible to select the genuine from the
illegal. With the exception of this
protest Mr. Reiff took no active part in
the meeting, even declining to vote. The
votes in favor of ratifying the lease
amounted to 612,586 out of a total of 800,-
000. Some votes were also east in favor
of the contract dated Mat 7, isxi, for the
lease of the lines and property of the
Northwestern Telegraph Company, the
Wisconsin corporation for the interna
tional Ocean Telegraph w hich has under
control the cables to Cuba, the Gold and
Stock Telegraph < ompanv, the American
Telegraph and Cable Company, which
has two cables to Europe, and the Conti
nental Telegraph Company, w hose system
of w ires connect New York and Wash
ington. The contracts for the purchase
of the lines of the Michigan Telegraph
Company were aprroved.

WAIFS FROM WASHINGTON.
The I nion Pacific’s Indebtedness and a
Word About Smuggling.
Washington, April 21.—The Secretary
of the Interior has made a formal demaiul
upon the Union Pacific Railroad Company
for the payment of the balance due to the
United States under the act of May 7,
1878, amounting for the year 1872 to $825,-
905. A statement of the account is also
rendered in which the Secretary places
the total amount of the claims of the
I nited States against this road under the
above named act at $1,727,742. and says
that if the whole amount of the deductions
claimed by the company lie allowed there
will still be a balance due the government
of $1,036,824. The Secretary calls the at
tention of President Dillon, of the Union
Pacific, to the sixth section of the act of
May 7, 1878, which provides that no divi
dend shall be voted, made or paid for or
to bring stockholder or stockholders in
either ot' said companies respectively, at
iUff tilU£-XLil£U said cumpauy shall b-* to
default in respect of payment, either of
the sums required as aforesaid to be paid
into said sinking fund or in respect of
payment of 5 per centum of the net earn
ing, etc.”
It is reported to the Treasury Depart
ment that smuggling is being extensively
practiced on the Rio Grande river, and
that a difference of opinion exists between
the District Attorney for the Southern
District of Texas and the Collector of Cus
toms at Brow nsville as to the authority
of the officers of the latter to arrest per
sons detected in the act of smuggling.
The question has been referred to the So
licitor of the 'Treasury for an opinion. The
Solicitor says that he' has no doubt that
the officers have the same legal right to
arrest offenders that they have to seize
smuggled goods, provided the arrest is
not made in Mexican territory.

in both silk and chenille. They are lined
with white or colored silks; black satin
ones are lined with ecru, chandron or
white. Some of the dark satins have a
guipure Spanish lace band from five to
six inches wide placed midway between
the top and tips of the frame; this is
lined with some bright color; many are
edged with heavy fringe, which Is headed
with a ruffle of lace. The sticks of
malacca, bamboo or metal show a varietv
of quaint designs; on the wood canes are

ticularly pretty with dark costumes.
With the new embroidered satteens and
French cambrics come parasols with simi
lar figures to match.
Impressions During a Battle.
A recent writer thus speaks of his ex
periences ami feelings in a battle: “It is
always fashionable to give first impres
sion. Shall I give you mine? I shall as
sume an affirmative without affording
time for rebut!. First, was dispelled the
lifelong illusion that battles were the or
derly moves of a game of chess. Cam
paigns may be likened, as I have heard
them, to the manipulations of that game,
but battles are made up of a series of ex
periments, more or less protracted, ac
cording to the ingenuity of the commander,
and the expertness of his officers and
men. The results of a faro bank can be
calculated with as much accuracy as the
results of a battlefield. It is the veriest
chance—the victory, as in all games, of
course, inclining to those who are most
cool, and therefore the most likely’ to per
ceive advantages. Second, I have over
rated the dangers of the battle. Here for
five hours we have exchanged cannon
balls, bullets, bayonet thrusts and sabre
strokes, and literally there is nobody
hurt, the loss in killed and wounded oh
our side being about one in two hundred
of those engaged. These are my’ impres
sions. Are they not the counterpart of
all first experiences on the battlefield? A
friend asks me the feeling of a non-com
batant under fire. Were you ever caught
in the open fields when a’ heavy’ thunder
storm was raging? If you have been,
and no special tear, you have, neverthe
less, entertained an opinion that possibly
lightning might strike where you were
standing. For the three-quarters of an
hour that I was under tire, as a non
combatant, there was almost a continuous
t hunder of artillery. I could realize no
special danger, but only an ill defined
thought that possibly some of these flying
missiles might come over where I stood iii
the way. On comparing views with the
others situated like myself, encountering
the same opportunities, and with similar
purposes, I find they’ had the same sensa
tions, so that 1 may fairly assume that the
mass of men under fire have little or no
thought for personal consequences, and
that cowardice is not a normal character
istic of the human race.’’
Crazed by a Cruel Joke.
Baris Corr. London Telegraph.
There has just died at Charenton a man
who has fiad a very curious history.
Thirty years ago the deceased, whose
name was Roussot, was condemned to
death at the Seine Assizes for the murder
of an old gentleman, M. Demoury. The
case had excited considerable interest and
the court was crowded w ith spectators.
Among the persons standing immediately'
behind Roussot, who was Hanked by a
pair of gendarmes* was one Planchat,' an
employe of the Presse new spaper, who
had somehow contrived to wriggle him
self into that position without attracting
notice. Scarcely had the sentence been
pronounced when Planchat, moved as he
afterwards explained by an uncontrolla
ble impulse, passed the'side of his hand
over the prison’s neck in imitation of the
keen blade of the guillotine, at the same
time emitting a whirring sound. Roussot
instantly fell forward with a shriek of
terror, and the bystanders, indignant at
this heartless and shocking act. rushed
upon Planchat and roundly abused him.
Planehat was subsequently condemned
to two years' imprisonment. As for his
victim, he never recovered the shock, but
remained insane until the day' of his
death. He was pardoned by the Em
peror. and confined, first at Bicetre and
afterwards at Charenton, where he has
just expired. The'unfortunate man w as un
der the impression that he had been actu
ally beheaded in the Palais de Justice,
and when relating the story was iu the
habit of imitating the strange sound that
hunted him for thirty years.

EDUCATION IN JAPAN.
An Interesting Exhibit of the Old and
New Methods of Japanese Teaching.
The National liepublican in a recent
issue says: “Among the treasures of the
Bureau of Education is an exhibit of Jap
anese educational progress. This exhibit
is especially valuable in giving the old
methods of teaching in contrast w ith the
new, and as marking the facility with
w hich the scientific truths of the most ad
vanced civilization. The history of this
exhibit is rather an interesting one. When
the first embassy of Japanese came to this
country they' called on the commissioner
and made inquiries into the workings of
his department. Not satisfied with ex
amining the department itself, they came
day after day propounding questions
which showed not only a deep interest in
the matter, but a most intelligent concep
tion ot the merits and importance of the
American educational system. The in
formation they received was carefully di
gested and sent back to Japan, and the
prominent part the educational business
had played in the very extraordinary so
cial and political revolution which' the
country went through was shown in the
exhibit sent to the Centennial. At the
dose of the latter the Japanese authorities
begged the acceptance of this exhibit by
the Bureau of Education. The old-fash
ioned school house in Japan, as illustrat
ed by a painting, was a bare room with
no desk but low stand iu front of the
teacher, and another on his side to place
books on. The teacher squatted on the
floor. So did the pupils. The teacher
read aloud, and the pupils repeated after
him. To memorize was the alpha and
the omega of Japanese school instruc
tion.
“The new-fashioned school house in
Japan,‘as illustrated by drawings and en
gravings, is generally a handsome build
ing, often a temple whose worship has
ceased and whose devotees are dead. The
teacher has a desk modeled after the
American style, placed on a platform and
garnished like a New England’s precep
tor's. The desks and seats of the pupils
are fashioned after the same pattern. In
Japan they write with a brush instead of
a pen, and make their ink by triturating
hard paints against a prepared stone. The
ineradicable instinct of the people to draw’
explains the universal use of the brush,
and their constant practice from timeim
memorial gives the secret of their won
derful skill w ith color. In the exhibit are
specimens of mgchinery.surgical and math
ematical tools, educational appliances,
and various kinds of mechanism required
by modern sciences. These are Japanese
copies from Occidental models. But they
are not slavish imitators merely. Their
intelligence is show’ll in the frequency
w ith which they adapt their own original
devices to American machines, al w avs
improving on the model. Among others’is
a school globe. This is a wire frame cov
ered w ith linen, on which is painted the
natural objects to be studied. The de
struction of this globe does not involve the
great outlay for a new’one which our cost
ly globes would make necessary in the
want of destruction. Again, they adapt
an angle measure to a spirit or water
level, thus killing two birds with one
stone. In the exhibit is a model of a
Japanese house. This has become disar
ranged, and no native mechanic has been
found skillful enough to mend it. In the
narrow limits of two small rooms are
thus shown the progress of centuries,
which really was consummated in a few
years. Yesterday the feudalism of the
damio regime exhibits its mediaeval ten
dences, usages and spirit ; to-day the same
actors are manifesting the temper and
the tastes and exhibiting through famili
arity with the customs of the present age.
The exhibit is complete in every respect,
and is one of the most interesting and
suggestive collections ever prepared bv
man.”
Why Girls Dance.
Philadelphia Times.
“Shall I tell you why I dance and why I
seem so infatuated with it?" asked' a
young lady a few days ago. “It is this:
( She was a beautiful and accomplished
girl, the daughter of wealthy persons and
had everything necessary to make her
happy.) “1 have no aim in life that can
stir me to enthusiasm, and I have the
blues continually, except when I am
(lancing. a good partner is the
only thing I know that drives them oft’.
The theatre is dull, and every new book
only confirms my distrust of human na
ture. lam not a ‘blighted being,’ but the
more I see and know the less I care for
married life. 1 think the distaste for mar
ried life does not exist so much with
young men as many suppose. If there
were'any of the right kind of young men
—young men with noble principles and
superior intelligence as well as personal
graces—it might be different, but the
race seems dying out. With my present
tastes and views 1 am not likely to marry
any one. so I just dance because I get more
enjoyment out of that than anything
else. There is no difficulty in getting part
ners, and that is all I think society men
are good for—to dance with.”

BLAINE'S NEW WORK.
The Scope, Design anil Aim of the Forth
coming Twenty Years’ History —An
Important Review of Recent Legisia
tion and Legislators.
Waxhington Corr. Philadelphia Prev<.
Ex-Secretary Blaine is still hard at
work at his book on the politics of the
past twenty years, and he can l>e seen al
most every day in the archives of the
State Department searching for statistics
and data. Unlike most great authors.
Mr. Blaine does not leave this part of his
work to an assistant, but attends to it
himself. Besides this, he has found that
he can get along faster without a steno
grapher than with one. and he has. there
fore. given up dictation. The whole bur
den ot the work thus falls on his shoul
ders. and. together with his social and
other duties, make up a prettv good day's
labor for him.
The Secretary expects to finish the first
volume of this work during the present
year.and.it will probablv lie published
immediately. After he has finished thte
part he will take a Tew months* rest and
then begin work on the second volume.
The scope, design and aim of the whole
book are clearly set forth in the following
extracts from the preface:
“I he twenty years of Congress between
the inauguration of Lincoln in I*6l and
the inauguration of Garfield in I*Bl were
the most important in our historv as a na
tion. The entire period was tilled with
momentous events. Legislation during
the progress of the war. iu aid of the great
armies which upheld the government;
through the period in which the Union
was reconstructed on new and endur
ing foundations; on the finances during
the era of pajier monev and the subse
quent return to the standard of coin; on
slavery, and the emancipation which came
generations before philanthropist* had
dared to hope; on taxation, exercised ami
enforced to a degree beyond all precedent,
yet always sustained by popular majori
ties; on industrial development so wiselv
fastened that, despite the waste of thou
sands of millions bv the ravages of war,
the aggregate wealth of the people was
doubled in a single decade—legislation on
these great subjects forms the vital histo
ry of the country, and is worthy of com
memoration.
“During the years when these legislative
deliberations were in progress, much was
done in Congress of inferior importance
and temporary interest. To separate the
valuable and the permanent from the
valueless and transient of this historic
epoch, and to give a clear and connected
account of the really great events in the
Senate and House of Representatives, is
the aim of the work. It is not intended
to be an abridgement of the proceedings
ot Congress, ora mere compendium of de
bates; yet no important transaction in
either branch is omitted, and no discus
sion worthy of honorable mention isover
looked. The design necessarily includes,
within the limits of careful discretion, the
narrative of many facts which could not
appear in an official report, as well as a
fair and just estimate of the men who have
been most prominent and influential in
the two Houses of Congress.
“It would be obviously impossible to pre
sent a perspicuous historv of the two de
cades from IX6I to 1881, without reviewing
at some length the important and often
tangled course of events, which brought
about the political revolution of 1860, re
sulting in the defeat of all the old politi
cal organizations, and giving the control
ot the’eountry to a new’, radical, enthusi
astic and progressive partv. The causes
of this revolution, properly analyzed, will
be found to be remote—stretching back at
least forty years, and vet steadily and
continuously tending towards the culmi
nation w hich was reached in the election
of Mr. Lincoln to the Presidency. The in
cidents of the intervening struggles in
Congress, the connection of one phase of
the contest w ith another—not seen at the
time, but in retrospect distinctly visible
—present a field of interesting inquiry,
necessarily introductory to the work now'
in hand.
“The encouragement to publish any his
torical work is found in the belief that it
supplies what was before inaccessible.
The history of the events now presented
scattered through one hundred and
fifty volumes of the ponderous records of
Congress, and in the scarcely less vo
luminous reports of committees of both
Senate and House. In t his vast mass of
documents, a complete series of which is,
probably, not contained in a single library
outside the national oapitol, it is no light
labor to trace even one measure through
the various evolutions of legislation. To
present the entire period within limits
adapted to the general reader, and upon
the plan briefly outlined in the foregoing
paragraphs, will, it is believed, contribute
to a more general and intelligent under
standing of an important political era,
and to a truer sense of the patriotism,
the courage and the statesmanship w hich
sustained the nation under unprecedented
trials, and guided it safelv through dan
gerous crises.’’
AN ACTOR'S SECRET.
How to Breathe In Reading.
The London Saturday Revieic in a re
cent issue says: “M. Legouve tells the an
ecdote of Talma watching the actor Dori
val from the prompter’s box until he had
discovered his secret, which consisted in
always taking a fresh breath before the
last one was quite exhausted, and in do
ing his best to conceal the beginning of
each phrase by starting whenever he
could on an e, aii e or an o—‘that is to say,
at the point where the fact of the mouth
being already open makes it possible to
take breath lightly, w ithout the action be
ing received.’ Again, Delle Sedie, the cele
erated singer, could run up and down the
scale in front of a lighted candle without
the flame wavering. “‘How is this done?'
It is because he employs exactly the
quantity of breath needed to carry the
sound of the notes. If you or I w ere to
try it w e should simply waste-our breath.
In the chapter on ‘Pronunciation’ M.
Legouve insists, and the point can hardly
be too much pressed, on the value, the ab
solute need, in tact, of clear articulations
as opposed to mere exertion of voice.
This he illustrates by a story of Boufle
w hen he was playing’ Pere Grandet in the
VAv are. ‘When he came to the
most touching scene of the piece, when
the miser finds that he is robbed, the ac
tor began to scream out the words as he
was accustomed to. At the end of a few
minutes the sound died away on his lips,
and he was compelled to continue in a
murmur. What happened? That he was
a thousand times more true and more
touching than before, because he was
obliged to make up for weakness of voice
by force of articulation. It is true that
one cannot speak without *a voice, but
voice alone has so little to do with diction
that there are readers, orators, and actors
to whom the very extent of their voice is
a drawback. Unless they are skilled in
articulation, the volume of sound dovours
the sense.”

A FAMOUS RESORT.
The Demolition of “The Cock” in Lon
don.
Harper'a Eazur,
The news that “The Cock," in Fleet
street, London, is to be demolished an
nounces the disappearance of one of the
resorts which are intimately associated
with the characteristic life of London for
centuries, and with the most famous
names of English literature and history.
Many a pilgrim to London would hasten
first of all to the site of the old Tabard Inn
in Southwark, and search curiouslv for
some trace of Dame Quickly's tavern in
Eastcheap, or Beaumont and Jonson’s
“Mermaid,” or Dryden’s "Buttons," or Dr.
Johnson’s “Mitre.” London, indeed,
sw arms with taverns and clubs and re
sorts so intimately identified with the
most interesting traditions that old Lon
don itself vanishes as they disappear.
“The Cock" is not only rich in
old reminiscence—for it was unaltered
since the days of James 1., and
Pepys made merry there in 1668—but it
has acquired fresh charm in recent times
from Tennyson’s “Will AVaterproof’s
Monologue,” in which that thoughtful
roysterer apostrophises the “plump head
waiter of the Cock." In Dickens' "Life
and Letters” there is the same friendly
feeling for the tavern as a seat of good
fellowship. Thackeray is never more
charming than w hen he is playfully gos
siping or moralizing about the good places
for good dinners, and w hen he was in this
country he was never more at home than
when, at the “Century,’’ he was seated
w’ith his "modest glass,'’ ruling w itlrgen
tle sway, like Addison with his pipe, in
his familiar realm.
Such associations as those of the
'Famous London resorts of wits and poets
and statesmen and scholars are of great
value to any city. As they disappear the
city is robbed of an influence which, al
though a mere sentiment, is more elevat
ing and persuasive. The universal in
stinct of men which builds monuments
and other memorials of the famous dead,
the heroes and patriots, the poets and
story-tellers and orators, is akin to that
which fondly cherishes the material ob
jects w’ith which they are associated and
preserves their autographs and every per
sonal relic. New York has retained very
few buildings which have any striking or
interesting connection with the past. The
most interesting of them is probably
Fraunces’ Tavern, at the corner of Broad
and Pearl streets,where Washington part
ed with his officers. Butalthough London
still teems with them, even London will
have lost a charm which no splendor of
architecture or convenience of building
can restore when the most famous “Cock"
in the world is gone forever.

HANGING 1 DI DE.
How One of the Species was Treated
by a Muscular Gentleman.
Mrs. stephen Fiske, the “Giddy-gusher”
of the New York had the follow-
ing in one of her rec« nt letters:
•"The dude is i>ein<r put down so in all
the papers that when a dude really gets a
lilt it ought to receive public attention.
Most every one knows Harry Zahn. He's
a well known figure. in business, circles,
and he’s usually found round the Bruns
wick in hours of leisure. A big. hearty,
healthy, handsome man with a heart and
band of such proportions that friend or foe
can expect a lift when he desires to give
it to them. Now Delmonico's and the
Brunswick is a great stamping ground for
the noble dude, and the other night a
crowd of the solid men were sitting in
the case transacting business of a pleas
urable character, when Zahn and a couple
of friends sauntered in and took a table
in the corner, which, it seems, had been
mentally reserved by a pair of dudes. One
of them had gone so far toward staking
out a claim that he had hung his coat on
a handsome solid bracket that adorned the
wall behind this table. Going away to ex
change a languid word with another of
their species their disgust was evident
when the beheld the stalwart forms of
Zahn and his partv installed in the
cherished corner. From a neighboring
table they emitted much dissatisfaction.
Albert said it was "real mean,” and Gus
sie said it "served ’em right; they
ought to stick to I>el’s. where horrid vvuff
cweachers were not encouraged.” No no
tice of this conversation being taken,
Gussie, emboldened by a Vermouth cock
tail, began making " excursions behind
Zahn's back to tie fur-lined coat hanging
ill thecorner. First he went and fetched
his handkerchief: next he imported a
package of cigarettes; then, needing
further refreshment, he squeezed past
Zahn's chair for a toothpick. The soul of
good nature dwells in the gallant Zahn:
but he had quite enough of the dude and
his little exhibition of temper. With re
freshing composure he rose, seized the
dude by the centre bit of his waistband in
front and the scruff of his little neck be
hind. and with a movement as quick and
strong as a liger, he hung Gussie up on
the cfothes-hook by his coat-collar as dex
terously as if he had been hanging dudes
all his life. A shout of laughter greeted
this episode, and a couple of chairs,
grasped Gussie under each arm and took
him off the clothes-peg. Then Albert got
excited, and vowed nothing but blood
could efface such an insult: but when the
smiling Zahn turned tow ard the infuriated
individuals discretion seemed to temper
their vengeance. They refrained from
punishing their tormentor. and es
caped amid great laughter and derision,
and a resolution passed with much
unanimity to drink the health of the gen
tieman who hung up tin* dude.
SITTING Bl EE CONVERTED.
The Great Sioux’ Chief to Embrace the
Catholic Faith.
A special dispatch from Milwaukee.
Wis., says: This morning Bishop Marty,
of Dakota, who is spending a few days in
the city as the guest of Archbishop Heiss,
imparted the information to this corres
pondent that he had succeeded in convert
ing the great Indian chieftain. Sitting'
Bull, to the Catholic faith, and will re
ceive him into the church the coming
summer. The chief, with about 140 of his
followers, has been spending the winter at
Fort Randall, on the Missouri river, mid
way between Yankton and Chamberlain,
Dakota. On the 15th of April he will join
his tribe, the I'ncapapas, numbering some
four thousand, in the Standing Rock reser
vation. .Sitting Bull has announced hie
intention of taking a farm on the Grand
river, where two hundred Indian families
will henceforth turn their attention to
agricultural pursuits the present season.
There are two Catholic chapels on the
reservation and two more will be erected
ibis-summer, one in the vicinity of Sitting
Bull's home. Each chapel has a school
house, where the Indian youth are
educated. The Bishop had no difficulty
whatever in imparting religious instruc
tion to Sitting Bull, who never before had
an opportunity to receive such teachings.
Bishop Marty pronounces the chief a
thorough Indian,about 50 years of age, and
of magnificent physique. He does not speak
any other but the Indian language, and
the Bishop characterizes the many stories
published concerning Sitting Bull's edu
cation as mere fables, especially referring
to the story to the effect that he had been
educated by Father Smith, and also had
attended college in Canada. He is very
smart and adroit, which is evinced by his
action at the time of the surrender at Fort
Buford. He had often declared that be
never would surrender his gun. and, in a
certain sense, kept his word by handing
the weapon to his little son, explaining
that he did so to teach the boy to always
keep peace with the whites. He is said to
be thus considerate in all things. Bishop
Marty, who speaks the Indian language
fluently, says he found it very easy to
learn, but exceeding difficult to express
abstract and religious truths to the In
dians. They have implicit faith in Sit
ting Bull's judgment, and his commend
able example in joining the chtlrch w ill in
time unquestionably be follow ed by nearly
all of his. tri be. The Bishop thinks, from
the satisfactory results already achieved
in this manner, that it completely solves
the Indian problem, and is satisfied that
the Northern Indians will never again
don the war paint, provided they are look
ed after. The missionary must remain
with them constantly, for the Indians arc
a good deal like children when the teacher
is absent. The ceremony of receiving the
great savage into the church will occur on
June 1, and great preparations are being
made for the event. Four hundred In
dians will follow his example and join at
the same time.
The Pitch Lake of' Trinidad.
t'nitefl States Consul Towltr's Report.
I visited the so-called Fitch lake. Trini
dad, September 30 1882, landing per
steamer at La Brea, on the west coast of
Trinidad, about forty miles south of the
port of Port-of-Spaih. The lake in qttes
tion is situated about one and one-half
miles from the shore. There is a gentle
ascent of one hundred and forty feet from
the shore to the lake. The name “lake” is
a misnomer, if we Understand by the
term a cavity containing a liquid. The
contents of this cavity, or supposed cavi
ty. is a concrete, slightly flexible mass of
pitch; it is a level plain, on which bushes
and patches of vegetable formations, and
pools of water are seen here and there
over the surface. There is no difficulty in
w alking or wading over it from end to
end, or from side to side. The shape of
this plan is a sort of ellipse or ovoid. The
water in the pools is rain water, having a
slight iron taste. Arriving on the plateau
I found, first, a number of chestnut-col
ored females washing and bleaching linen,
and in other parts a number of two
wheeled carts, drawn each by a single
horse, in the a-t of being loaded with
pitch. Scattered here and there over the
surface were to be seen dark, yellow
brown colored men with pickaxes dig
ging out large clods of pitch, which lioys
gathered out from the pit and piled up for
the carters. The pitch at almost every blow
of the pickaxe broke off with a resinous
fracture quite easily. Each lump of pitch
exhibited air cavities of the size of a pig
eon's egg, larger or smaller. I was in
formed by the diggers that they never dig
deep enough to find the pitch soft and
plastic; but they asserted that in the
course of a couple of days the cavity
which they had dug would be again level
with the surrounding plain. This asesr
tion. I think, must be taken wirh consid
erable reservation. This pitch deposit. I
imagine, like any other mineral deposit,
will become entirely exhausted in the
course of time, resembling in this resjiect
our oil wells in Pennsylvania. But it
will take a long time to do this, for the
area of this deposit is about 100
acres, which is equivalent to 4,360,000
feet, and 4.360.000 feet surface and one
foot deep will give the same number of
cubic feet. Now. allowing the weight of
one cubic foot of pitch to be 60 pounds (it
is really more), we shall get by computa
tion 261.360.001) pounds, w hich number di
vided by 2,240 gives 116,678 tons for the
weight of a single layer of pitch on Pitch
lake one foot deep. How deep this pitch
deposit is absolutely is not yet known
with accuracy, or even approximately.

THE AMERICAN FLAG.
Its Heroic Author anil Sixty-flfth An
niversary.
Washington Post.
“When Freedom from her mountain height
Unfurled her standard to the air,
she tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there."
The author and projector of the design
of the present American flag was the
heroic sailor, Captain Sam C. Reid, whose
marvelous defense of the old flag when
defiantly flying at the masthead of the
United States private armed brig General
Armstrong, at Fayal. in September, 1814,
vanquished the forces ot a whole British
fleet, and left Captain Reid the proud vic
tor. It was most fitting that a man of
his distinguished bravery and talents
should afterwards become the designer of
the present flag, which was adopted by *
Congress on the 4th of April, 1818, andon
the 13th dav of April of that year was for
the first time thrown to the breeze from
the flagstaff ot the capitol at Washington,
this day being the sixty fifth anniversary
of that event.
Captain Reid, who died in 1861, iu*ver
received any compensation for his ser
vices to his country, and it was only last
year that Congress indemnified the heirs
of the owners, officers and crew of the
General Armstrong for the actual loss
sustained. It has been suggested that it
would be but a fitting tribute to hi* me
morable deeds and services if Congress
should erect a statue to his memory and
place it in the national capital. The an
nivers.iry will be celebrated tonlay at the
private residence of his son. Colonel Sam
( . it-id, now residing in Washington, at
whb I. i number of distinguished guests

Bitters. I am well pleased with it as a
tonic medicine, it having so much im
proved my feelings, and benefited my sys
tem, which was very much out of’tone,
causing great feebleness for years.

I know Hop Bitters will bear recom
mendation honestly. All who use them
confer upon them the highest encomi
ums, ami give them credit for making
cures—all the proprietors claim tor them.
I have kept them since they were first
offered to the public. They took high
rank from the first, and maintained it.
and are more called for than all others
combined. So long as they keep up their
high reputation for purity and usefulness
I shall continue to recommend them—
something I have never before done w ith
any other patent medicine.
