LOUISBUBO, Cape BRETON, April
7.—A title of the sea that makes the
Wood run cold is that of the agoniz
ing experience of four fishermen,
cast adrift in a dory on the Western
Fishing Banks. Two of them live
to narrate the story, and two torn,
mangled and emaciated corpses
hear witness to the horrible truth.
Early this afternoon this little vil
lage was thrown into a wild state
of excitement by the news that a
fisning dory, with two lifeless bod
ies and two half dead men, reached
one of the wharves.
Heady and willing hands grasped
the small craft as it reached the
shore, and the living freight was
quickly passed to the beach. The
two survivors, too exhausted from
exposure, thirst and hunger to use
their legs, had to be carried to the
nearest house.
A ghostly sight mot the gaze of
the crowd which assembled about
the boat when from beneatli the
piece of canvas covering them in
the stern, were brought to light the
remains of James McDonald and
Angus McDonald. The former was
in a frightfully mutilated condition.
The right arm was missing from
the elbow, the throat was cut and
hacked in a sickening manner, and
two great pieces of flesh had been
chopped as by a knife from eacli
thigh. At the bottom of the boat,
in a pool of blood, which washed to
and fro with the motion of the
waves, lay three large pieces of hu
man flesh, that laid been bitten,
partly masticated, and then spat
out. The spectacle was of a nature
witnessed hut once in a lifetime,
and the feelings of the lookers on
were so wrought with horror that
the strongest in the crowd turned
ttway unable to stand it longer.
An old American soldier who
laid passed through the civil war,
said the scene was the most har
rowing lie laul ever experienced.—
The two half perished survivors of
tiie terrible voyage Collin Chisholm,
of Harbor du Bouche, N. S., and
Angus McEacliern, of Long Point,
Strait of Canso, N. S. When found
at the boarding house to which the
pair laul been removed, Collin Chis
holm was stretched on a sofa, pale
and emaciated, and apparently
suffering much agony from the aw
ful ordeal, liis feet, greatly swol
len, were enveloped in bandages,
and slowly and wearily lie gave the
following account of the distressing
affair:
“I will do my best,” lie said, “to
give you the story of our trial hut I
don’t care to go hack over all my
experience. It lias been the most
awful time in my life. We belong
ed to the American fishing schooner
Cicely A. Low, Captain Menzie.—,
The vessel had fourteen hands al
together, and sailed from Glouces
ter March 14. After a fair passage,
we arrived on (lie Western Banks
on the succeeding Tuesday. On the
Monday following, at about 8
o’clock in the morning, McEach-
ern and myself left the vessel to at
tend to our trawls in company with
another dory containing the two
McDonalds.
“When at our work fog suddenly
shut down, hiding the vessel from
our view. As soon as the trawls
were all set, we started to find the
schooner, and in trying to do so,
fell in with the other boat. The
four of us limited an shouted, hut
could hear no sound of horn or any
thing else, and after hours of weary
searching we came to the conclu
sion that we had been lost. We
kept in company all day and all
night, and until noon the next day,
when the McDonalds got into our
dory, and we set the other adrift
after socuring her oars. Several
hours later we observed a sail about
two miles distant, and going, as we
supposed, east. We made all man
ner of signals to attract her atten
tion, and rowed tvs rapidly as possi
ble towards the vessel, hut it was of
no use. Tiioso on board lmd not
seen us, and we were soon again
left with nothing but the dreary
waste of water. We lmd no provis
ions of any kind, nor a drop of wa
ter, and by this time the gnawing
pangs of hunger began to tell on
vs.
“On Thursday evening, James
McDonald, who was moro thinly
clad than the rest of us, and who
had been growing gradually weak
er and weaker, from hunger and
exposure, felt that ho was dying,
and looking at the three of us from
the stern, where lie was lying, said
in a voice I shall never forget:
“Good-bye! good-bye, mates! 1 am
dying.” These were It is last words.
Wo kept his body thinking (lie
rest of us might be rescued. We
kept on rowing in the right direc
tion in which we thought land lay,
though every stroke was weaker
than the last, and none knew at
what moment one of us would give
up in despair. On Friday after
James McDonald died, Angus Mc
Donald said lie was starving and
thirsty, and that as he must have
something to eat and drink, he was
going to drink Jim’s blood.
“lie had no sooner uttered the
words than he seized his knife
and cut off Jim’s arm, suckingsome
of the blood and eating some of the
flesh. Then looking at me, with
his mouth smeered and with apiece
of flesh in his hand, lie asked me if
I would have some, remarking at
the same time that the blood tasted
like cream. I tasted it and imme
diately spat it out, saying that if I
was to die within an hour, I would
neither eat the flesh nor drink the
blood. In the afternoon Angus
again turned to me and said: “I
am going to cut Jim’s throat to get
some more blood.” I begged him
not to do so, saying: “For God’s
sake, whatever else you do, don’t
cut his throat. Do wlnvt you like,
hut don’t do that,” In the morning
we found that he had cut the dead
man’s throat, and not finding any
blood there, he had also cut pieces
of flesh out of his lett thigh. His
hunger and thirst not being then
appeased, Angus cut another piece
out of Jim’s right thigh, and during
Saturday eat several pieces. Mc-
Eachern attempted to eat some,
but could not. The taste made him
sick.
“On Saturday, having kept row
ing, we met a quantity of drift ice,
and we were then, I judge, sixty
miles east-southeast of Guyon is
land. By this time I noticed that
Angus McDonald was becoming
crazy, and going aft to try to get
him to lie down, lie picked up an
oar and struck me twice, hut
not hurting me much. Some time
afterward McEachern and myself
lay down to sleep. At daylight we
awoke to find that Angus McDon
ald had thrown the oars overboard;
we took the thwarts and paddled
through the ice searching for the
oars, and at last found five of them.
All day Sunday we rowed through
the ice as best our weakness* would
permit us. About noon Angus
died, never having spoken after
striking me the previous day. As
evening drew near, we made out
what afterwards proved to be Guy
on island, hut darkness coming on
and snow squalls setting in, we
were then unable to find it. We
lay down to sleep hut cold and anx
iety to reach land made sleep im
possible.
“All night long the waves broke
over us, and when dawn broke at
last, we were covered with ice, and
hardly able to move, hut land was
now close by, and by strenuous ef
forts we managed to make gradual
headway. About 10 o’clock Mon
day morning our dory grounded on
the beech of the island, and the
light-house keeper, who had ob
served us through the ice, came
down with his two hoys and carri
ed us to his house. Neither of us
was able to walk when we were as
sisted to land. The feet of both of
us turned purple and raw, and were
horribly swollen. After we got
into the ice we used to suck it to
allay our thirst, and that was the
only thing we had had in the shape
of water for over eight days. Now
it is all over, and I am yery thank
ful to God for having been preserv
ed.
Collin Chisholm closed his story
with a flood of tears. Ills words
give a most graphic idea of the
frightful trials and perils through
which they had passed. The dead
men both belonged in the mari
time provinces.

(’artersville, Ua., April 12.—
Three miles below Cartcrsville, on
the Etowah river, there is a group
of so-called Indian mounds; but the
Indians knew nothing of their ori
gin or their builders. There is no
doubt, however, that these mounds
were used by (lie Cherokees hotli
for defense and for burial places.
The early settlers of this section
often heard the native Indians de
clare that they knew nothing about
the mounds, and they had no tra
ditions even concerning them.
This group of mounds consists of
seven, and they are all .unmistaka
bly artificial. The largest, which,
by the way, is the largest of the
kind in America, lias an area of
three acres at the base and nearly
an acre on top, which is perfectly
flat and almost square. It has been
in cultivation many years.
Its height is sixty-six feet, thougli
it is apparently more than a hun
dred, all the contiguous land being
level. The sides are steep, and ex
cept at each corner almost precipi
tous. The corners are built like the
bastions of a modern fort, making
the mound quadrangular. A wind
ing roadway is cut from the river
side, and gives easy access by a
succession of inclined planes. From
the summit there is a beautiful view
of tho winding riyer and the broad
expanse of fertile valley flanked by
rugged mountains. The savants
have pronounced this a “temple
mound,” and agree that its builders
were tire worshippers and human
sacrifieers. There are two smaller
mounds between the larger one and
tiie river. The other three are
much smaller, and were built high
er up the the riyer.
The entire group were enclosed
by a canal which was cut around
them from the river. The enclosed
area is semi-circular and contains
about twenty-five acres. The canal
lias long ceased to flow except when
the “river of high hanks,” which is
tiie signification of its name in the
Indian vernacular, overleaps its
bounds and dashes its angry waters
at the very base of tiie mountains.
Many curious and Interesting rel
ics of these mound builders were
washed up at and near tiie mounds
by tiie great freshet. Mr. G. H.
Tumiin, who owns the mound field,
lias found numerous specimens af
ter tiie freshets had washed off the
top soil for several years. The
most interesting of these was a
large stone idol, a very good imita
tion of the human form, pipes, pot
tery and various stone implements
and weapons. The great freshet of
’81 washed up a large number of
hones and several nearly complete
skeletons, developing the fact that
this was an extensive burying
ground.
But no previous freshet washed
off enough dirt to disclose anything
like the quantity of relics that have
been picked up since the last one,
and there are still acres of loose
hones, shattered earthenware, bro
ken implements, weapons and other
curious relics of this prehistoric and
mysterious race. Mr. Tumiin lias
an interesting and growing collec
tion of curiosities that make a val
uable museum of arclneology al
ready. Some of these are models
of pottery, and evidence a high de
gree of attainment in tiie art of
ceramics. There are also stone
images of birds, animals and men.
These people had copper. Mr. Tum
iin found a piece of a copper coro
net that was delicately carved or
engraved, the corosion of indefinite
ages making it difficult to trace tiie
ornamentation. Some of the relics
are intact, and prove their makers
to have been skilled in the use of
edged tools. One of tiie most curi
ous development is their mode of
burial. Several of the smaller
mounds were washed nearly down,
and in and near these graves of a
peculiar construction, containing
human bones, weapons, heads and
copper ornaments were discovered.
These graves were dug down to tlw
hard substratum of tiie valley and
enclosed on all sides and at tiie top
witli flat stones. Every one dis
covered are uniform in size and
construction, of equal length and
breadth, which, strange to say, is
not moro than four feet. Tho con
clusion is that if only one body was
interred In encli grave it was buried
standing up or head downward,
and if several shared tiie same
tomb, then the bodies were cut in
pieces before burial.
Not all were hurled, however, in
this crypt, for below the large
mound hones are found sticking
about over several acres, and theso
are either petrified or nearly decom
posed, and crumble when handled.
Bushels of shell and bone beads can
lie found all over tiie ground about
these graves. A large number of
smooth, round, flattened stones are
found varying in size from a saueer
to tiie dimensions of a copper cent.
They resemble poker chips and
faro bank checks. They were prob
ably tiie medium of exchange
among these people.
borne very good stone and clay
pipes were found, and traces of tiie
fragment used still remain in the
howls. One of them retains tiie
scent of a well used pipe. This is
no fiction. Several reliable parties
have seen tiie pipe and smelled it.
The familiar odor was detected as
soon as it was taken from tiie
ground.
Some excavations have been
made in the smaller mounds, but
no important diseoyeries were
made.
Mr. Tumiin intends driving a tun
nel through tiie big mound this fall
and wonders are expected to be
unearthed from this ancient and
indestructible monument of a race
without history save such as can
be gathered from the inefficient tes
timony of their gigantic earth
works.
The Biggest l,le on lee.
A dispatch from LaCrosse, Wis.,
dated March 21), says: Peter Ap
pleby, a druggist of this city, quar
reled with his wife. In a tit of pas
sion he dashed out of the house af
ter hurling a glass at her head. He
was seen running in the direction
of the LaCrosse river, and nothing
being heard of him for three weeks,
Mrs. Appleby publicly announ?ed
that her husband had committed
suicide by drowning. She at once
became engaged to August Tiara,
a youth who assisted Appleby in
his drug store.
Willie Christmas and Timothy
Joiner, two lads, were playing on
tiie banks of tiie river this morning
when they spied a big block of ice,
floating 15 or 20 feet from the shore.
The ice was unusually clear. The
lads noticed a black object inside it.
Their curiosity was aroused. Tak
ing a boat, they rowed out to tiie
ice, and throwing a rope around it,
towed it to land. Then they saw
that the black object was tiie fig
ure of a man. Tiie ice had formed
about a foot thick all around him,
from the top of his head to tiie soles
of his feet.
The lads summoned assistance.—
The ice was lifted out of tiie river
and taken to a neighboring hotel,
where it was placed by a hot stove.
It rapidly melted away, exposing
the body of tiie man Inside. One of
tiie waiters recognized him as Drug
gist Appleby. After lie had com
pletely melted out of the ice, re
storatives were applied. In a short
time lie had recovered sufficiently
to ask questions, When told the
day of the month, he said lie evi
dently must have been frozen up
for three weeks, it being just three
weeks since tiie day he left his wife
in anger. He says that lie rushed
down to the LaCrosse river to com
mit suicide. He plunged Into tiie
water, hut it was so chilly lie climb
ed hack to tiie bnnk. Then recol
lecting that he had a phial of laud
anum In his pocket, he drank the
contents, and laydown by the river
to sleep tiie sleep of death. The
LaCrosse must have overflowed him
and receeded several times, thus
causing tiie ice to form around him.
Finally the block floated down
stream with Appleby inside it.
When Ills wife was told of the oc
currence, she consented to give up
tho young clerk, forgave her hus
band, and took him back to her.
Contesting I lie Vote.
Fort Gaines, April 13.—The pro
hibition contest in Clay county is
not yet settled. Tiie Bluffton pre
cinct, it is admitted by both sides,
will be thrown out, owing to the
election having been held at Bluff-
ton instead of Harrison’s mill, tiie
original precinct. Borne years ago,
by proper publication, tho juAtiee
court was removed from Harrison’s
mill to Bluffton, but nothing was
said about the removal of tho elec
tion precinct, and lienee tho voting
at Bluffton was illegal. Tiie loss of
this precinct reduces tho wet ma
jority to 2(>. Tho prohibitionists
have employed Colonels J. I). Ram-
bo and W. A. Scott, and the antis,
Messrs. Wells and Lark, to repre
sent them beforo the ordinary, and
tiie hearing bus been set for next
Tuesday. Tiie prohibitionists claim
that a large number of illegal votes
was cast, mainly for the wot ticket,
and are sanguine of a successful
contest before tho ordinary, while
tho antis will louve nothing un
done to sustain tho vote as cast at

“Gossip is a sort of smoke that
comes from tiie dirty tobacco pipes
of those who diffuse it. It proves
nothing hut the had taste of tiie
smokers.” So wrote George Elliot
in “Daniel Deronda,” and we are
all ready to respond to tiie senti
ment. We all condemn gossiping,
and yet there is no single sin so uni
versal, nor one which is so effective
in separating friends, blasting homes
and blighting hearts. He is gone,
says Milton, in Samson Agonistes—
“he is gone, and who knows how lie
may report thy words by adding
fuel to tho flames!” This is the re
spect that makes gossip so deadly
in its effect: we repeat with addi
tions. Mrs. Openheart makes some
innocent remark about a friend.
Mrs. Gadabout takes up the remark,
barbs, it poisons it, and sends it to
rankle in the friend’s heart. The
addition does tho damage. Un
fortunately, this disturber of tiie
peace, this destroyer of friendship,
is not of recent birth. Percy, in his
Anecdotes, tells that it was made
tiie subject of legal penalties at St.
Helena, where the following order
was promulgated in 1789: “Where
as, several idle, gossiping women
make it their business to go from
house to house, about this island,
inventing and spreading false and
slanderous reports of the good
people thereof, and thereby sow
ing discord and debate among
their neighbors, and often be
tween men and their wives, to the
grief and trouble ot all good and
quiet people, and to the utter extin
guishing of all friendship, amity,
and good neighborhood; for tiie
punishment and suppression where
of, and to the intent that ail strife
may be ended, charity revived, and
friendship continued, we do order,
that if any woman, from henceforth,
shall he convicted of tale-hearing,
mischief-making, scolding, or any
other such vice, they shall be pun
ished by ducking or whipping, or
such other punishment ns their
crimes or transgressions shall de
serve or the council think fit to in
flict.” That was in 1789, but the
vice aimed at is of far earlier origin.
In his history of England, Hume
informs us that during some “trade”
disorders that occurred in London
in tiie year 1517, a proclamation was
issued that “women should not meet
together to babble and talk, and all
men should keep their wives in
their houses.” The ancients also
were annoyed by this pest of society.
Alcibiades owned a very large and
beautiful dog, which cost him a
great sum of money. One day lie
called a servant and ordered him
to cut off the dog’s tail. The ser
vant was amazed. What! cut off
his tail? Such a beautiful tail!
Aye, said Alcibiades, it must come
off; and so tho deed was done. His
friends were astonished at his
strange conduct, and told him that
everybody in Athens was talking
about it. He laughed, and replied:
“That is just what I wanted. It
will keep them from talking about
each other.” Wo are not to suppose
that tliis pernicious habit is confin
ed to women. As far back as 411
b. we find men smoking the
“dirty pipe of gossip.” It is record
ed that a barber, who could give no
clear and definite authority for a
story which lie had circulated, was
considered a forger of false news
and a public incendiary. For this
lie was fastened upon a wheel and
publicly tortured. What a whirl
ing of wheels, what a chorus of
groans, there would be if we should
torture the gossips as they did in
those old days!

that has taken some young squlr
rels, and nurses them liko kittens.
Somo of tho hands on his place cut

Tiie boy’s mother said give it to the
cat, as it was dead. Tiie catjdcked

She seemed to think so much of it,
that they gave her tho rest. She
keeps all four as if they were her
