A Trailitlou of Dm Flood. .;i,:!issss“"“; pair from which the u .pi!:ind, except, Again n la*ojiled. Each o; ii'fh was tribe .jives the ulory a local coloring, but the , ’ot of the legend is much the same, The Celia Cool a tradition is as follows: The creator uf the universe, Mcs-mes* sa-lii-iiil:, had great iliilicultv in the ar* x ■ngcnieut of the land nnd water. The earth } rse ted in sinking out of sight, y: last lie hit upon 11 plan which worked .wry well. Taking a lung lint; of twisted walrus bloc ictied it around the dry land and Fastened tuc other end to tin c iraerof the inoon. Everything worked V( •11 fori’« long time, lmt at last the spirit h caine very much offended at the action of mauk ltd, uud m a fit of anger one day seized his great sto ic knife and with a mighty hawk severed the rope of twisted skm. Inun-’diatelj’ the land began to siuk into toe sea. liie angry waves I ashed in torrents up the valleys, and in a short time nothing was visible except the peak of a very high mountain. Ail mankind perished in the whelming waters with the exception of two, a man and his wile, who were out fishing in a big canoe. These two succeeded ill reaching the fop <‘f the mountain and proceeded to make themselves at homo, Here they remained for some time until the anger of M< s-mes-sa-la-nik cooled, which resulted in his fishing up the t ev ♦•red throng and again fastening it to the moon. From this pair thus saved the earlh was again populated.—Victoria(B. C.) Colonist. 3 m li Hotter Titan Ueftj'big. An urchin 9 years old, with a very dirty face and a pair of bright eyes, ac costed a woman as she was hurrying across tin* common the other day. ••Please to give me some money to get me something to eat,” lie whined. “No, I won't give yon any money to get you something to cat,” was the reply, The lady mimicked his whine. Finally .she hired him to nary her tun breila to her office, and on their way tliUhcr she gave him a dissertation on labor and its fruits in phrases she thought l,c would understand, she advised him to go into the newspaper business and leaned him L’l) cents to invest iu papers, alter lie had signed his name to a con tract she drew up, promising to pay her inmieiliafely he hail cleared that amount, hi an hour and a half he came hack to the nfiice proudly and deposited the money loaned on her desk. She took 10 cents of it. and lie kept the other to make fnrtiwr investments. The next day he cleared $1.art. He was radiant. "This is better than, begging, isn't it?” she asked. “You hot,” he said. “Now. if I give yon this 10 cents, will you promise to buy with it what I shall ask von?" . “Yes m.” “Then bnv a cake of soap ami use if. He said lie would and went out.—Bos ton Globe. A Holier That Prove# Troubleswim;. A recently returned eastern missionary says that a small, but persistent, vexu tion in household affairs is the firm be liefin the transmigration of souls among one's Buddhist servants and ils often ludicrous consequences. For instance, once on shipboard the sailors were di rected to kill the cockroaches with which tne vessel was infested. This they dared not do, tearing that some ancestor s spirit might be imprisoned in that most un likely form. They approached the ver min gently, lifted them up on sheets of paper and dropped them overboard in a manner almost tender and quite defer <?nti;il. One young convert clung to her newly made trienil during her last illness with the constant cry that she feared, when tbe end should come, that the old belief would lie too s troiix for her, it pressed so hard upon her that the soul was des tilled for further eartlilj* life. It was a cause for great rejoicing at the mission station that dissolution came in sleep mid unattended by tins horror.—New York Times. Kastri* Sundays I11 tlie Fntuiw.

BCHLBT COUNTY SKWb. ubhw ' REMAINS OF A RACE OF LILLI* PUTIANS UNEARTHED. In KiiKtcrn Tciuii-hsmi Have need Found Ci'iivn uni) Skeleton* of an Aliunat For C»tt«u People—A Legend TJiat Drills Tl’ltli llir Mexican A races. The Smithsonian • institution has un dertaken a jiecnliar work in this locality, Those people of the world who have paid lengthy visits to that hilly country known as east Tennessee have alive.vs liven impressed with the sublimity nnd beauty of the moimtains, the simplicity anil superstition of the inhabitants and the general air of sleepy mysteriousness surrounding everything. Ask one of these people where they would most cx poet to find a race of dwarfs or giants mid the reply will be, “In cast Teunos see.’’ And recent developments seem to bear them out, for in the last few years the remains of people less than three feet in height have been discovered in this country, On the eastern slope of one of the peaks of the Great Smoky mountains, where the first rays of the morning sun strike, is an ancient burying ground, and such another burying place could not be found, though the world bo searched, for not one grave is more than three feet long, The tombs are two feet beneath the sur face and are formed of cement and t.nt stones, and have defied the ravages of time to cause them to be destroyed. Most of those examined contained a vase, a few beads and a human skeleton, which was never more than :!(»inches long and was that of a full grown person. The natives have a beautiful legend of the place and say none were interred here except Indian children, while nutn ralists elailn the skulls to have reached their full growth. But the most interesting account is that of the red men who held that coun try when first settled by whites. Thg\ claim that when they came to that see tion of country it was peopled by a race of small, fierce men, with red hair; that these dwarfs waged a long and bloody war with the Indians, but were finally all killed: that this burying ground was used long before t hey came into the coun try, and that those killed in the war were never buried. In some parts cf the adjacent moun tains, high up on the cliffs, are to l>o seen rude drawings of combats between fnl grown men and a number of dwarfs. On account of the superstitions of the east Tennesseeans, it is difficult to reach this pigmy cemetery, anil almost ns much as life is worth to attempt to dig into the graves of the “leetlc people.” In the mountainous district of one of the southern states, in a bend of one of the great rivers, is situated a natural fort, known to the surrounding inhabit ants as “Indian Fort.” Surrounded on three sides by perpendicular cliffs, at the bottom of which flows the river, wide and deep, the only way of approach j_ s by ascending a stiff declivity from ihe open side, near the summit of which are still to be seen traces of an ancient ein bankment, almost obliterated by time, Within the space inclosed by the river and embankment have been found a great many stone and flint implements 0 f Indian warfare and a few bronze axes. There are also a number of t ombs. formed of large flat stones, containing nothing but dust anil dirt at the present, In the iiim* of the early settlers the native Indians had a tradition of a great battle having been fought at this place years previous to their own time, in which an entire race was exterminated. The legend is: The exterminated race, who were called “Worshipers of the Sun,” had boon gradually driven sontli ward from the far north by tlie Indians, Before reacliing the “Great river” (the Ohio)they separated into two divisions, one going to the southwest, the other go jug directly south, What became of the first part is not told iu the legend, After innumerable battles the fleeing race made a final stand at Indian Fort, and after a siege of many months, dur ing which time tlie besieged sulwisted on provisions previously gathered, they were conquered, and every man. woman ;uid child was killed. Tlie legend says these people came from the vieinity.of the great lakes, and the few bronze im plements discovered seem to give some truth to that part of the story, It is supposed that these people were the ancestors of the Mexican Aztecs, and that that port ion which escaped when the tribe divided wandered toward the sontli west and entered Mexico from tlie north. At the time of the conquest of Mexico by Cortez the Aztecs claimed that they came from the north, and sun worship was the national religion. To investigate these relics of a depart cd race the Smithsonian officials sent Professor Snow-and a corps of assistant. to the scene.—Tennessee Cor. St. Louis Globe- DeniiKTiit.
