DON'T KNOW TJIEIII GRANDMOTHERS. “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 Bible. Her mother has four names. There b her ancestry for several generations. A large part of my custom conies from people w!io literally do not know who they are.” “How did you drift iuto this puzzling busi ness ?” “I went first to recover some property for my wife. I was so successful that I was em p],,, Iby the College of Heraldry, started b > ,nn named Wells, now dead and his e. /e extinct. I went to Holland in 1860 and stayed over eighteen years, returning only now and then, and staying the first time eight years. “I began then to collect data on my own account wherever I found them. Look.” Drawers, cabinets, book racks were full of small folios, enclosed in neat covers and alphabetically arranged. “I have here records of 230,000 families. When I have anew client in a few minutes 1 can tell him if I have any facts that will help him, and often wo are put immediately in the right way. TWO NEW YORK ACRES FOR A DOLLAR AND A HALE. “Another branch of ray business is col lecting old deeds and legal documents. In many instances these bring to people a knowledge of rights of which they were ignorant. The last time I was in England Ifound a deed belonging to one of the old Dutch families here entitling them to two acres and a half in the heart of down town. You will yet hear of the lawsuit based on it. When the English drove out the Dutch in this city this deed was seized and carried 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 covered. “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 ing of one another. Now and then the search after property will bring them to gether in the most curious way. “Another great trouble arises from people changing their names by adding or omitting letters after they have come to this country. 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 °‘o Bible and liegan the holy day.

There was mithful ransacking, but without avail, re ,p!e were more helpless then; travel was a more serious undertaking. The letter „|r being found the matter was dropped, beveral years ago I was on a vessel lying at the dock in Amsterdam. There was a young Canadian on it whom I knew. Pay ing rum a visit I picked up a Quebec paper ueioiignig to him. In that paper I read an account of a sermon preached by a minister ‘ * Quebec, in which Tie alluded to the duty imr tu °' v e,l to their descendants in preserv ig their ancestral names, and told, apropos, ne circumstances I have related which con cerned bis wife. to ir < ourse i recognized them and wrote Ptl, Hng my connection with the otter ; uid asking if his wife could furnish ■d'btional information.

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.” _ Phillips’ Digestible Cocoa Presents anew and valuable fruit beverage.

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. What Became of a Million of Dollars.
