“But it is surprising how few people know,
for example, their grandmothers’ maiden
names, some people know less. A good
deal of this confusion arises from our silly
habit of naming children. A Dutch girl
will have four names—they will represent
four generations. She opens her mother’s

knowledge of rights of which they were

Ifound a deed belonging to one of the old
Dutch families here entitling them to two

You will yet hear of the lawsuit based on

to England, where it remained until I re
covered it.”
While he spoke he unrolled an old legal
document beginning “I William Fourth, by
grace of God,” &c. It was surrounded by
an illuminated floral border and from it de
pended the roya! seals. The document
acknowledged the debt of .€(>6,000 to the
Lord Chancellor of the city of Dublin m
1700.
“When did you get it?”
“I bought it for a dollar and a half out in
Ohio. It was left for safe keeping by the
descendants of this man (the name willnofbe
given here to encourage doubtful hopes).
The owners of it went further West and
have never been heard of since. If any per
sons of this name could bring the proofs of
their ancestry that money could be re

“But it is amusing how little care people
take to preserve their lineage. I often find
that after a lapse of twenty-five years in
this country brothers and sisters know noth

search after property will bring them to

“Another great trouble arises from people
changing their names by adding or omitting

Apropos, I will tell you a strange story of
Circumstance.
A MISLAID LETTER.
“After I had gone to Holland I received a
letter from a Maryland family asking me to
look up some property belonging to them in
Holland.
“i found no record of their name, but of
one somewhat similar. I wrote back to
know if they had anv proofs identifying
their name with that of the Holland family.
I hey answered no, but sent me the facts on
which they based their claim. Their father
late in the last century had come to this
country, leaving in Holland on only brother.
One Saturday afternoon, in the year 1810,
the old gentleman walked into town, and
there he found a letter from his brother in
Holland lagging him to come back home,
iam not married nor ever will be. lam a
rich man with plenty to support you aiftl
your children, and they shall be my heirs,’
, wrote. With this letter he walked back
home. He read it to his family. But it was
kite. The Dutch Sunday begins at sundown.
“O.Pt aside the letter, took down his

That night he was taken ill from over

American Indians Who Still Live in a
Savage State.
FVoih the Washington Star.
The commissioners who went out to make
treaties with the Northwest Indians about a
year ago, and recently submitted their last
report to the Interior Department, had an
interesting experience among those savages,
who are the most remote and come nearer
preserving the traditional Indian character
than any now extant. Some of the tribes
along the borders of Minnesota, Montana,
Dakota, Idaho and Washington Territory
are as savage as their ancestors of 10b years
ago. i ney have hidden themselves away in
the inaccessible wilderness, out of the reach
or civilization, and maintain all the ancient
savage customs of dressing with skins of
annuals, feathers and paint, feeding on fish
and game and conducting wars with each
other. They are about the onlv specimens
or the entirely savage Indians. Other In
dians in the same region have attained ad
vatieed civilization. Those in Idaho and
” asmngton Territory are tho most savage.
LIKE A NEW COUNTRY.
“It was !ike_ exploring anew country,”
said Judge Y\ right, the chairman of the
commission, talking over his trip with a re
porter. “Some of the tribes are almost in
accessible. Their abodes can bo reached
only by the aid of Indian guides. These
Indians can travel anywhere through path
less forests, which would be impenetrable to
a white man. The Indians know the trees
and the elevations just as you know the
streets in Washington, and they can
describe localities to each other so that
they can understand just where it is
though buriod in the very depths of
tho wilderness as trackless as tho ocean.
One Indian can tell another at just what
treo in the vast forest he has hidden some
thing, so that the other can go and find it,
though it may be a hundred miles away.
They traverse the forests, and seom to know
by instinct just where they are—they seem
to know every tree. Some of tho tribes
are as uncivilized as those of whom
Cooper wrote. Borne of the tribes
about the groups of small lakes that form
the headwaters of the great Mississippi, in
Minnesota, could be reached onlv by means
of birch bark canoes. Wo traveled for 200
miles in these frail crafts, through a most
beautiful ana
WILDLY ROMANTIC REGION.
“The Indians were our guides and they
alone could transport us. The largest of the
lakes are probably twenty miles wide by
thirty long, and they aro strung together by
the winding thread of the Mississippi before
it starts on its bold southern course. The
lakes are right in among the forests, and
sometimes they are very rough. When
storms occurred it was impossible to go upon
them in the canoes, We traveled in true
Indian style. Each canoe was paddled by a
savage and they were managed with great
skill. Three were the most that could go in
one canoe, and we had to sit flat on the bot
tom. The Indians could easily carry the
boats on their heads when they' took them
from the water. We landed for our meals
and camped in the forests at the
edge of the water at night. Tho forests
were filled with game and the waters with
tho finest fish. There were seventeen in the
party, guides and all, and the Indians would
eaten enough fish as we moved along so that
we would have all we could eat for dinner.
Some of the party would go on shore and
shoot game. One Indian alone in his eanoo
would go ahead of the party and shoot
ducks on the lake. He would paddle up and
shoot, and then take up his paddle again.
He was a wonderful shot. We us<sl to
count the reports of his gun and then count
the game, and he generally had something
for every shot. One (lay we counted six
teen shots, and he brought back fifteen
ducks. We had a contract with the In
dians that they were to furnish us with food
aud transportation; and the game they
killed furnished us with fresh food.J
MEETINGS WITH THE INDIANS.
“In some of the canoes were distributed
our luggage, while others carried the pas
sengers, and we had ‘runners,’ who went
very rapidly in advance of us to assemble
the tribes we wished to consult with. We
would land at certain places, where the
Indians would meet us by appointment.
Some of the meetings would be held in old
time savage fashion in the woods, on the
shores of the lakes, aud the pipes would be
passed around, and the Indians would make
long harangues. Generally, we stopped at
the missions, and the Indians assembled
there to confer with us. These missions are
the work of the Catholic priests and Sisters,
and wherever they are located the Indians
have reached a degree of civilization.
About tho missions they generally wear short
hair and civilized dress, and are more or less
thrifty.
INDIANS WITH A BRASS BAND.
“There was ope tribe in particular,” con
tinued the Judgo, “that surpriseed us by
their advancement. The chief and a num
ber of warriors rode down at great speed to
meet us, discharging their Winchesters os
they came. Here they dismounted and
shook hands, and the warriors acted as an
escort of honor. While we were talking with
them there burst upon us the sound of 'Hail
Columbia.’ and then ‘The Star Bpangled
Banner’ played by a brass band. You may
imagine our astonishment. It sounded
strange in this wild region. The music was
by a band of Indian boys. At the schools
the Indian boys and girls taught by the
priests and Bisters are as far advanced as
our children of the same ago at
the public schools in the large cities. We
were given permission to examine them iu
our own way, and they acquitted them
selves with great credit. Some of the In
dians wo found tlirifty and with good homes
and signs of industry and prosperity about
them. Others were drunken, dirty and
good-for-nothing. Some were utterly with
out civilization, and it would have been
dangerous to Pave gone among them had
they not have been friendly at the time.
They met us dressed in their wild nutive
costumes, and trinkets, feath
ers in their liair and their faces painted,
someone color all over, some half blue, half
vellow, aud some striped red, yellow and
blue.
SENTIMENT AND FIRE-WATER.
“They possessed,” said the judge, “that
wild savage romance, and gave us long
harangues alv>ut the grav es of their forefat h
ers. The more savage, filthy, and degraded
they were the more pretense they made of
this sentiment. Our talks with them were
long and tedious. The great trouble with
them is whiskv. You can get along with a
sober Indian, but when he is drunk he is a
wild beast; he will do anything. It is against
the law to sell liquor to them, but white
men buy it for them mid make large profit
by tho transaction. They buy a bottle and
hide it in the brush and the Indians find it.
They have a cortain code of honor which
they maintain with grout stoicism. You
could neither bribe or threaten one of those
Indians to make him tell on anyone who
sold him whisky. He will swear that he
found it; or else maintain a stubborn siloinx'.
No court can force him to give testimony.
The savage tribes havo a way of wearing a
feather in their heads to mark each enemy
thov have killed, and no Indian will ever
add n leather lie has not won.
“The commission met first in Bt. Paul in
August, 18R6, and from ihat time until this
spring we traveled among all the Indians in
that region. YVe consulted with thirty-one
bands in Minnesota and tbe Territet s along
the Northern border. Much of tl. > rime we
slept on the ground without even the cover
ing of a tent. In the winter we had a pret
tv hard time. We traveled for 1,600 miles
in open sleighs over vast plains of snow ;
with the thermometer ranging from 30 to
00 degrees below zero. At Miles City it
was 67 below, and at Fort Bhaw it was over
60 below zero.” _

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 1887.
A BLOW IN CONGRESS.
A Pistol Shot Its Sequel An Incident
of Forty Years Ago.
tyom the Boston Budget.
There was a wild scene on the floor of tho
House of Representatives on April 23, 1844,
after a speech by ex-Speaker White, of
Kentucky, whose subject was the tariff.
He did uot, however, confine himself to the
subject. He took occasion to defend Mr.
Clay from the charge of “intrigue, bargain
and corruption,” urged against him in 1835,
when he accepted the appointment ns Secre
tary of State from Mr. Adams, and also
from tbe charge of having made a speech in
which he declared that “we must havo white
slaves, if we had uot black slaves.”
When Mr. White had taken his seat some
conversation arose among members in his
neighborhood upon the subject, and Mr.
Rathbun, of New York, remarked that the
charges against Mr. Clav were true, and
ooula bo proved. Mr. White, being irri
tated by the remarks made a sharp reply.
Mr. Rathbun, after the exchange of a word
or two with Mr. White, struck him. Mr.
White returned tho blow, and the parties
were immediately engaged in close conflict
on tho floor. All this was the work of an
instant. Tho members interfered in bodies.
During the melee a young man from Ken
tucky, named Moore, who had been admit
ted upon the floor, rushed into the crowd of
members within the bar, in a violent and
menacing manner. He was seized by some
members aud dragged out.
Mr. McCauslen, oil Ohio, thrust him out
the door. The mahogany doors were fas
tened back, as usual, and green cloth doors
substituted. Moore drew a pistol and fired
upon McCauslen through the door. The
ball, missing its object, took effect upon the
thigh of Mr. ,J. L. Wirt, one of the watch
men of the capitol. The ball entered the
inner part of the thigh, and passing around
the bone lodged.
The chairman of the committee resigned
his seat to the Speaker, and the Sergeant-at
arms appeared among the combatants with
the mace. Tranquility was in a moment re
stored. As to Moore, he was seized by Gen.
Dodge, and kept tranquil till he was arrested
in due form by the Sergeant-at-arms.
Mr. Dromgoole moved that the parties to
the affray be brought to the bar of the
House for trial.
Mr. Saunders suggested that a committee
be appointed to inquire into and report upon
the facts.
Mr. White rose, anil in a brief and very
proper manner, expressed his deep regret at
the occurrence, and apologized to the House
for his participation in it.
Mr. Rathbun followed and submitted him
self to tho judgment of the House, apologiz
ing to all around for what he had done
through a hasty temper, and declaring that
he felt nothing but the greatest respect and
friendship for the gentleman from Ken
tucky.
Mr. White thereupon offered his hand to
Mr. Rathbun, declaring that after the gen
tleman’s declaration, it was not in his nature
to entertain any unkind feelings toward
him.
This reconciliation had so dramatic an
effect that the whole audience, on the floor
and in tho galleries, began simultaneously
to applaud by clapping of hands.
Mr. Dromgoole withdrew his proposition
and remarked that he did not consider it
necessary to pursue the subject.
Mr. Saunders thought it due to the House
that an inquiry should be made. The
matter would go forth to the public and
would be misrepresented. There should be
an authentic report of the matter, if noth
ing else was done.
Mr. Holmes, after some preliminary re
marks on the disgraceful character of these
disorders, said he felt it due to his constit
uents and to the country - to offer a resolu
tion, which he sent to the chair, viz.: “That
the Hon. John White, of Kentucky, and the
Hon. B. Rathbun, of New York, be ex
pelled from this House.”
The end of the matter was that all other
propositions being rejected or withdrawn it
was ordered that a committee of five be ap
pointed to inquire into and report upon the
subject.
Acts of violence on the floor had often oc
curred, but this was the first instance of the
interference of a stranger, and an armed
man, in the affrays of the House, on the
floor and in full session. It was an evil
precedent, and the more so inasmuch as the
offender was said to boa responsible and re
spectable man.
