G ROUS Eli AND.
The Mansion Whwa •‘O'd Tippecanoe”
and Tecumseh lield Their Celebrated
Debate.
FrfH the Ohieay" Tribune.
Vincennes, Ind., March I.—A? they
reach the east side of the Wabash river,
passengers on the Ohio and Mississippi
railroad who look from the north windows
may see, surrounded by shrubbery, the
first brick house built west of the Alle
gbanies. It was erected by Willfam
Henry Harrison in 1801 when he was Gov
ernor of Indiana Territory. On the porch
next the railroad stood Gen. Harrison
luring the celebrated council
with Tecumseh, which the
latter began with the senti
ment: “The sun is my father, the
earth is my mother, and on her bosom
will I repose.” A large tree near by is
often pointed out as the one under which
the Indian remained, but the Hon. Henry
8. Ganlhorn. whose grandfather was one
of Gov. Harrison's guard on this occasion,
says that the locust tree which sheltered
Teoumseh stood between the bouse and
the railroad, and its stump disappeared 30
years ago. With the Shawnee exclama
tion, “Tell him he lies!” hurled at the in
terpreter, Tecumseh startud Irom this
house on his incendiary tour among the
Southern Indians. Around the same tree
that waved over thieaboriginal Isismarek
was held in IS4O an immense mass meet
ing in honor of “Old Tippecanoe.”
A HANDSOME OI.D PLACE.
Gen. Harrison’s aristocratic tenden
cies are apparent all over tae place. Two
surveys down the river from the Old Post
were laid out after the style of an old
Virginia plantation, and called “Grouse
land.” The owner also often spoke of it
as “my plantation” and “Harrison
Place.” Trees and shrubbery in infinite
variety wt-re planted, and the place was
carefully farmed. Along the river front
ot the grounds was built a palisade of ca
talpa posts set deep in the ground side
by side. Behind this a small force could
make a strong deiense. The preserva
tion of this wood has been so remarkable
as to cause an investigation by the State
geologist.
In the midst of these surroundings the
honse was built of brick burnt on the
ground. The money which paid for them
bought a large farm, now one of the best
In the county. The house fronts on the
railroad. An elaborately carved walmit
door admits one into a large, high nail,
arched in carved walnut, from which an
easy stairway ascends. Light comes
through a stained-glass window high up
at the further end. It is one of those de
lightful halls that seem to greet the vis
itor with a hearty welcome and that one
leaves with an earnest desire to enter
again. On the left is the large room in
which the Governor received in state
and where the Territorial Council
met. That end of the house, next
the “Ouabache” River, is the arc
of a circle for better defense, and in
side the chairs of the early legislators
were ranged in this curve. Throughout
the bouse the windows, so deeply embras
ured as to protect riflemen, are ti by 12
feet in size, with small panes of glass,and
solid shutter both inside and out. All tue
woodwork Is carved walnut. When the
frontiersmen met there to formulate an
Indian policy, upon which they staked
more than does the present Interior De
partment upon its own, the bright flames
played areund the huge backlog in the
big fireplace, and the richly-carved, pol
ished mantel reflected them te the high
ceiling and into the faces of the small,
generally harmonious council. A stone
tomahawk lying quietly by an old-fash
toned chair is all the furniture that is lett
to-day, but they are suggestive enough.
On the opposite side of the hall is the old
sitting room, with its own fireplace,
wainscoting, and wood carving, anu back
of it is the very long dming-roem. At the
foot ol the latter the inside shutter shows
a bullet hole at the height of a seated man’s
head and dangerously near the edge of
the wood. Almost in the centre of the
house a narrow, dark stairway leads
down to the basement, and at
Its foot is the old powder maga
zine. protected by heavy arched masonry,
and very like a" Dutch oven. Opening
from the same room is a stone, window
less dungeon, perfectly adapted to keep
ing prisoners of war salely. The ceiling
over the magazine, and, in fact, the whole
basement, was made fireproof by thick
daubing of mud and straw on lathing.
The basement has narrow windows com
manding every side, and must have been
intended as a last resort in case of attack
or siege when the rest of the house might
be captured or tired.
THK UPPER FLOOR.
The aecond floor contains large state
oharu tiers and cozy little bedrooms, each
with a snug closet at the side of the tire
place, very suggestive ot black bottles
and nightcaps. The garret, which ex
tends over tne whole house, has two dor
mer windows, with a very extensive
view. From one can be seen, miles away,
a prehistoric Indian mound; from the
other no doubt the fleet of Tecumseh was
watched as it cauie down the river lo the
great council which began so eloquently
and ended so abruptly. From ilitferem
points in the house the Wabash, the great
highway of that day, can he seen for many
miles both shore and below.
After Uen. Harrison left here for Tip
pecanoe battle-ground and the White
House the place was allowed to. run
down. In 1840 the boys ol the adjoining
school used the rarest truits from its
trees as weapons in the frequent battles
which the history of the place incited
among them. The house is in a good
state of preservation, and little changed
from what it was when built. Two hun
dred miles farther east along the same
railway is the last dwehing-plaee ol old
Tippecanoe. Locomotives give the war
whoop of civilization every time they pass
his “plantation” at Grouselaud, and a
dozen telegraph wires stretch irem bis
grave to the house wheie he planned his
great successes when it took months to
communicate with Washington.
Hits GUARD ALL THAT SAVED UIM.
The arguments of Tecumseh advanced
in the great council would have been
listened to had they come from any ruler
with an army benind him. The conduct
ef the great Indian was worthy of any
patriot, and there was much majesty in
his words and actions. Hen. Harrison
would have been treacherously murdered
thereon the porch hut for the vigilance
of his guard; liut the Indians were exas
perated by tue knowledge that their coun
try wue being hoidhv him by Hie right of
force, and that there was no justice to be
had In that unnecessary council. Tecum
eeh left <1 rouse land with a plan in his
bead which would have changed many
things had it not been lor the jealousy of
his brother, the Prophet. He reminds one
moat of Histnurok in hia diplomacy and of
Patrick Henry iu bis oatriotic eloquence.
HOW IT WAS I>ONK.
An Ascent to the Top ot th Host on Sig
nal Service Flsgslan.
Fro ml he Bruton Adrertietr.
The observed or all observer* In Post
Office square and vicinity about 8 p. in.
yesterday was a man who had ascendeJ
to the top of the tall staff where the flags
of the United Slates signal service are
displayed. This staff is 7b feet in height,
and its base stands upon the summit of
the dome of the lofty poet office building.
A good-sized man clinging to the lop of
the stall looks to be u small boy s ben
■men from the street level. What
the cllmoer waa doing there could not
well be disceriHKi, and, such as it wee,
would have proved wholly uninteresting
it performed near to the ground, home
apprehension, and possibly some expecta
tion, was felt among tho crowd that the
stiofc welch the man dung to. or the rDo
which sustained his weight, might break.
If such an event is to take place many
people have the fooling or desire express
ed by the poet In case Gilpin should ride
again: “Msy I be there to sea.” Perhaps
those of the crowd who were of this
mind would have scattered had they
known that the stair is a mas 1 eight inches
in diameter at the top, gradually increas
ing in diameter to nearly 20 inches at the
bottom, and that the rope was anew piece
of cordage as biground as a man’s thumb,
and a good-sized thumb at that. But from
the street the cord looked to be no more
than a clothesline and the stick about the
size of a barber’s pole.
The explanation of the event is that the
recent gale of 52 miles per hour had disor
ganized and disbahilUatcd the signal bal
vardsaud they needed to be rove anew,
i’ae man who ascended the staff was Mr.
Joseph La Motte, the same who performed
a like servioe in reeving halyards at the
top of Bunker Hill monument seven or
eight years ago. His assistant who stood at
the loot of the staff was Mr. Andrew An
derson. Both are riggers by occupation.
To ascend the staff is easy when one
once knows how. To begin with, the
climber has what, in sailor’s phrase, he
calls a “strap.” A strap when outot use
may, if carefully laid upon the ground or
any flat surface, be niado to take shape as
a circle, the circumference being a stout
rope; in other words, it is a rope a few feet
in iengto, with the two ends spliced with
each other. In use, after being passed
once round the staff, it takes shape as two
loops, one loop being passed through the
other like a slip noose. To the disengaged
loop a block and tackle is attached, and
to that again a “boatswain's chair.” It
is obvious that when the boatswain is
thus seated iu bis chair the heavier the
man the tighter will the slip noose grip
the mast. One strap being duly adjusted
around the mast six or eight feet above
the root, another is loosely carried around
the mast, and the boatswain’s mate then,
by means of the tackle, gently hoists the
boatswain in his chair to the height of the
tight-gripping strap. Thereupon the
buatswaiu draws tight the loose strap,
which has ascended the mast with bitu,
changes his percu from the one piece ot
rigging to the other, and, loosening the
hitherto tight strap, pushes it up the
mast, by means of a stick about the size
of a bean pole, to a point six feet higher.
Here it is gripped by the man below and
the boatswain is ready tor another six foot
hoist; and so on, six feet at a time, till
the top is gained. Mr. La Motte found
that what he calls the “truck,” that is a
projecting block of wood at the top of the
mast whicu holds the halyard pulleys,
must be taken down for repairs. To-day
he wilt make another ascent, saw oil' the
top of the stall just below the block, and,
later, will again go up and fix tbat or a
new blook to the masthead and reeve the
halyards.
AN INDIAN PRINCESS.
How She Figures in “Sasaiety” at the
hiatleual Capital.
From the ffow York World.
Washington, March, 6.—Society has
had recently a notable addition in the
shape of an Indian Princess of the Zuni
tribe. This is Princess Wawa. She is
the guest of the wife of Col. Stevenson, of
the Geological Survey . Princess Wawa
goes about everywhere at all of the recep
tions and teas of Washington wearing her
native dress. The Princess has a very
large, round, heavy face. Her black,
thick, long hair is parted upon the side
and combed with a-statesmau-like care
lessness across her broad, brown brow.
The Princess’ dress is made of gay red
blanket stuff trimmed with beads. Prom
underneath her short skirts are seen stout
ankles and small feet, covered with buck
skin leggings and moccasins. The gen
eral style of the Princess is massive. Her
broad face, her stern features and tbe
peculiar parting of her hair give her a
masculine look among tbe pale-faced
society ladies. One prominent, society
lady the other day who saw tbe Princess
lor the first time was charmed because
tbe Princess gave her a sweet smile and a
low bow without tbe formality of an in
troduction. She said to a friend: “I al
ways knew that these Indian chieftains
were remarkable for their taste.” She
was quite disgusted when she found that
the “chieftain” was a member of the
other sex. Tbe Princess held a regular
levee at the house of the handsome Mrs.
David Porter Heap the other day. Mrs.
Heap, who is one of the most attractive
ladies in Washington, suddenly found
herself deserted on account of tbe rival
charms oi the Indian Princess. The
ladies crowded about the Princess Wawa
and amused themselves endlessly in at
tempting to converse with her by signs
and broken English. The Princess can
6peak but very little English.
The princess is an eccentrio child of
nature. Although she is moving at pre
sent in the highest circles of Washiagtou
and is the pet guest of Mrs. Stevenson,
she yet has lapses from the convention
alities of life and goes back to the freer
action of liieon the plains. During the late
heavy snow fall the Princess beard tbe
Stevenson* talking about the beavv load
of snow on the roof of tneir house. It was
lust beginning to thaw and they were
fearful that the water would get through
the roof. Home way or other through
their signs she seemed to understand. A
few moments afterwards she disappeared
and could not be found, A little later a
heavy rush on the roof and then a fall of
snow tn front of tne house indicated
where the Princess was. She was found
up on the ridge pole hard at work clear
ing off tbe roof. The work was full of
peril, but the Princess would not coine
down until she had completed it.
A YOUNG LADY’S LONG PAST.
How • Recent Convert Punishes Her
self {or Sinful Conduct.
From the Fete York Herald.
Allentown, Pa., March o.—This town
is greatly excited over the strange case of
Miss Emma Keysar, aged IB years, a
beautiful blonde lady of many accom
plishments. For some time past she has
been in the habit of attending revival
meetings at one of the Methodist church
es in this city. On the night sf Feb. 21
she profi ssed to be converted, end on the
following day she resolved to abstain
from any kind of food or liquid lor 4f>dsys
as a punishment for her slntul habits
prior to her conversion. To-night Miss
lveyser has ended the fourteenth day of
her fust, and Is in the best of spirit*, and
her long abstinence from food doea not
seem to have affecied her health. Her
triends have remonstrated with her an<l
endeavored to prevail upon her to lake
food, hut without avail. A physician has
also been called in and prescribed for her,
but she refused to take his medicine.
AI'PKAKANCK OP IHR VOtJNli LADY.
A large number of people called at the
young lady’s residence dally, offering
prayers and encouragement. Mss Key
h retires at night as usual, and sleeps
the same number of hours as before un
dertaking this fast. Him is cheerful in
her manners und la very talkative at
limes. Although somewhat weak, she is
able to move about unaided, but has no
dslro to go upon the streets or to oburch.
Unlike others who have become unnerved
from religions excitement, she doea not
read the lilble or converse with her friends
on the subject of religion. Mls Eeyser’a
case is watched with great interest, and
causes considerable excitement among
the Methodist people.

WOMEN WHO DIKE POLITICS.
The Political Ability at Mrs. Morrison,
Mrs. Logan and the Late Mrs. Hnw
ley.
Washington, March >.—The ffeath of
Mrs. Senator Hawley removes from Wash
ington society one of the few women who
pay close personal attention to politics.
Only few wives of statesmen care for toe
political complications and machinery
which occupy most of the time of their
husbands. Whether it is because women
have no part in politics by vote or other
wise, or because their minds aro
not moulded in tbe political cast,
is uncertain. Anyhow, it is a fact
that very few of them follow the proceed
ings of Congress or the varying aspects
of uational affairs. Mrs. Hawley was a
noticeable exception. She was as well
posted on political matters as tbe average
Congressman, and was as familiar wiili
the details of her husband’s work, in and
out of Congress, as the General himself.
She attended personally to the reading
and arrangement of his correspondence,
making up the pension cases which came
to him, following the political debates in
Congress, and showing a keen personal
interest even in State elections which did
not concern her husband. There are few
others like her.
Mrs. Morrison watches the course of
public affairs day by day, studies tbe
tariff and silver questions and is as fully
posted as her busbandon revenue matters.
A year or two ago she asked a triend to
lend her a certain work, in two volumes,
on tbe tariff'. He complied with her re
quest, thinking it had its source in femi
nine caprice and that she would never
read one-half of the volumes. To his
surprise he found traces ol the work all
through the very next tariff speech ot
Mr. Morrison. Mrs. Logan is also a
close student of polities. She can dis
cuss public men and measures with as
much judgment as she can entertain a
house full of callers, and that is saying a
good deal, for there is no woman in Wash
ineton who is quite equal to her in the
latter capacity. Mrs. Vance, wife of the
Senator from North Carolina, is also well
posted on public matters.
SOMETHING ABOUT INCUBATORS
Why It is Improbable that They wilt be
Much Used in America.
From the Now York Star.
At the recent poultry exhibition in New
York any number of enthusiastic incu
bator patentees or owners competed for
tbe prize offered to the artifical hen that
batched the greatest number of chickens
in a given time, and rich city farmers and
young men with fortunes to invest were
invited to become rich suddenly by pur
chasing an incubator, hatching spring
chickens, and selling them at the market
price of $2 per pound. The bait was a
tempting one.
It is said that notwithstanding repeat
ed failures in every direction to realize
the gold mine promised, $1,000,000 each
year is invested in incubators. A well
known type-caster, of New York, after
attending tbe first poultry show held in
this city, two years ago, sold out a com
fortable living, removed to a farm within
a few miles of Paterson, N. J., purchased
an incubator, two barrels of kerosene oil
and fifty dozen of fresh eggs at fifty cents
per dozen, and hoped to get rich. He was
soon a bankrupt. His family left him in
disgust. To add to hiß misery, the per
son from whom he bought the patent hen
would only offer him $5 for what be paid
$250.
Not twenty miles from Albany lives a
man who sank two fortunes in attempt
ing to raise chickens artificially. Mr.
Halsey Knapp, poultry dealer at No. 216
Washington street, says that chickens
can be batched by an incubator, but the
trouble is to get them to live, and If they
do live and are brought to market the
flesh is so insipid tbat it is very poor
eating. His testimony is—and be is an
authority—that one old hen, setting ou
two dozen eggs, will beat the best-planned
incubator ever invented. In fact, the in
cubator is not wanted in this country;
chickens are as plentiful at all times as
the measles in a country school. In Paris,
where fowl do not appear upon the bill of
fare in the hotels, and where a single
chicken is cut up in parts in the market
and sold by the hind and forequarters,
the incubators may be of use and make
money for their owners, but in America,
says Mr. Knapp, they are a delusion and
a snare.
MARK TWAIN.
Some California Tentlmonp About His
Queer War Record.
From, the Fogelee t Cal.) Frontier.
Some of the Eastern literary papers
seem to have just discovered that Mark
Twain (Samuel L. Clemens) was a Con
federate bushwhacker in the early part of
the late war. The fact was published in
Virginia. Nev., in 1804, during the hottest
period of the war. And worse—the rival
journal that published the tact went fur
ther, and intimated iu language not to be
mistaken that Mark bad violated his pa
role, and was then a fit. subject for a tar
get lor a detail of Union soldiers.
Lieut. Clemens, having been a pilot on
the Mississippi river, and therefore know
ing the channel and being familiar with
the points where steamboats would have
to hug the shore, was detailed for the
special duty of firing into the Federal
transports plying that stream, and he per
formed the duty eflectively. He was cap
tured and paroled. While under parole,
the account stated, he went ahead firing
into Union boats. lie was captured a
second time, but by a different command,
none of whom knew be was under parole,
or he would have been shot on the spot.
He was went to St. Louis and imprisoned
in a tobacco warehouse on Wash avenue.
He got to thinking the matter over—the
Erobabilitv of lieing sent to Grant’s arrav,
v which he was first captured, to be ex
changed, and by whloh, if recognized, lie
would certainly be shot tor a violation of
bis parole—and bn skipped across the
plains to the Territory ot Nevada, of
which bis brother, Orion Clemens, was
then Secretary by appointment from Prsi-
Went Lincoln. Fearing the Influence of
his brother would not be sufficient, to save
him if be should be recognized by passing
officers or soldiers of the Union army he
did net remain long In Cureon City, but.
pushed on to the out-of-tbe-way mining
campof Aurora, where be remained until
ho fancied tbs storm bad blown over.
When in Aurora he wrote a series of
letters to the Vlrytnla KnterjirUe, und
subsequently sees, ted a place cu tho edi
torial stafl of that journal. His sharp pun
put a man iiuiumJ Willis, city editor of the
Vlrtjinia Union, to hunting up bis record,
and ibe publication of the foregoiug facts
was tho result. For this Mark Twain
s ut Willis a challenge to mortal combat.
The challenge was sent liv Mark’s
“game” little friend, Hteve Gillis. Willis
would not accept— bs would not meet, any
man on the field ot honor except a man of
honor. This offended Gill is highly, and
he challengod Willis. Willis would
not accept, because be had no
cause of quarrel with Gillis, but
hi* “best man” then came In and chal
lenged Mark Twain, who declined on the
same ground given by Willis for not meet
ing Gillis. The threncballengnsall passed
the same day—within a tew hours, in fact
—and u duelling bad just been made
popular by the Dog Valley meeting of
Toni Fitch, “the silver-tongued” orator,
and .losepb T. Goodman, the poetical edi
tor-in-chief of the t'nUrpru re. It looked as
though Hix Mile Canon wae to be deluged
with blood. But the matter waa dropped,
and Mark Twain was never called upon
bv a drumhead coart martial to atand up
and take tha regulation date ef leaden
LAdiia.
