That ghostly forms have been seen flit ting about its weather beaten crest st; night; that wiered sounds lmvo been heard in the ai-nbout it; and tlmt groans ami stiffed (Ties sud drowning struggles ; base disturbed the waters at its base, is | not the provinee of this history to prove; but if ever jutting cliff had right to claim i such supernatural attributes, then oertuiuly has this one (if legend be truejfull power to assumes whatever of the wiered and ghostly it may chose. Many years ago, before tho pale faces came from tho far East in tlieir wondrous white winged canoes, the country in this vicinity was peopled by the progenitors of that hardy race of Indians which gave the Pilgrim Fathers so ninth trouble and cost them so much dear blood to snhdn*. They were a wild aud war-like people, and | had all those characteristics of noble sav ageness that have called out the admira tion of those writers who delight in pictur ing the Indian character. They were gov erned by an old and crafty chief who pos sessedithe requisite ability to rule by one j way am! another such a reckless, indepen-1 dent and war like people os constituted the tribe. This chief, whom we will call I’nssa- j quod, had a very beautiful daughter New-1 aset. whose hand was of course the object: ..f much discussion and wrangling among the young braves of the tribe. This maid ,<n was-much beloved by her father, and TiOHsesHed a great inilueuoe over him, for indeed she was engaging and never failed to render to her father that respect and af- 1 taction that was properly his due. The i old man treated the numerous suitors for bis daughter's hand with supremo disdain, I and almost royal indifference, and was I woqt to. signify with alow and sniffy grunt'! that he had the most perfect confidence in her ability to choose for herself, lmt, when it came to his knowledge that bin daughter secretly loved a young brave named.Sagmah, the most unpopular man in tlie tribe, his brown darkened, and Ih eve assumed a dangeronH appearance that would doubtless have had a very diseonr- j aging effect nnSagmah had he been about. I to witness it, The old chief reprimanded ] Jtindaughter severely for tliiH attachment, | and was astonished beyond measure to learn from her own lips, though in the most respectful and dutiful manner, that she dearly loved this man, and was sworn to become his bride however great tho op position. The old chief told her to be ware, and bade her think long and earn estly ere she took a step that would nat urally incur his displeasure, and bring her name to be a hated word with her kin* About, this time a plague broke out among the tribes in that country and many of the youngest and bravest of the people fell early victims thereto. At. last the old chief himself was stricken down and lay at death’s door for many days, which taken together with the many deaths of valued braves, caused the medi cine man, wlio hod hitherto occupied him self entirely with remedial arts, to east about him for the cause of t his trouble. As uatural with sueli a people the cause was ascribed to witchcraft, and then the nest atep was to find the being possessed of such supernatural powers as to bring such dire calamity upon the people. In such times as these the man against whom the medicine mau had a particular grudge and for Whom everybody else had a dislike was generally the (inject of distrust and sus picion. In such a situation Sagniah now found htmself, and all that he could do i by natural eloquence aud low cunning j was done to divert attention from himself to others. But. all his protests and elo- 1 quonee were in vain. The popular cry was that he be tried and made to suffer if found guilty. The chief liegan to mend,! but, unhappily for poor Sagniah, the stronger the old chief grew, the stronger lwcauie the evidences of Sagmnh's guilt: for the chiefs first words after recovering ! from the crisis of the disease were that Sng mah hull brought the calamity upon the tribe. This, added to the already great unpopular feeling against the brave, sealed his miserable fate. Dark looks and lowering frowns were now tho only atten tions bestowed upon him. Everybody, the maiden, who still clung to him and plead for him despite the protestations ofherkin and the anger of her fug her, avoided him, and he was soon seized, put through a rude sort of tria', and and( ©mod to be cast with a weight about his neek from the tall cliff that overlooks the sea and which forms tho subject of this sketch. But little time is given the poor wretch to prepare for death (as is usually the ease with Indian justice), and ho had hardly heard his sentence ere he was hurried by the clamorous and excited crowd to the . brink of tho cliff where he shortly stood, stolidly gazing at the sea and singing Ins ; doleful death song. With true Indian fortitude he paid no deed to the prepara tions for his death, and seemed wholly un eoucious of what was going on about him. The jeers and taunts of the Jieople, many of whom had loot near relatives by tlie plague and believed him to be the mali cious cause of their bereavement, were received by Irira without a sign of feeling, excepting when now and then a shade of proud disdain stole over his face. Tlie old squaws hurled ribaldry and invective at him, lmt he heeded them not. His mind was made up to his fate and lie was fuUy prepared to meet it. An expression ©if scorn and hntred passed over his fea tures as tlie thong ot deer skin, hi the other end of which was attached a large stone, was rudely passed uliout lii neck. it lid tightened, apd j hile Ilia executioners i were preparing to do their duty, he turned 1 ; about and with kindling eye and lowering j brow cnßt a malignant glance upon tlie | wild assembly, lmt never opened his lips. Ami now everything is ready, and ner . vous, eager hands are preparing to hurl the atone that is to drug him down and anchor him fast among the waving sea I weeds below; and even as In* turns his eyes, jto look once more upon tho setting sun, } lie is launched into the air, and plufiges 1 down, down, into tho fatal water, which , | closes over the place that his fall had dis- \ j turlied, leaving but a few hubbies to mark j i the spot. But hardly had this terrible deed been ; ! enacted when a shriek of anguish rent the ; 1 air and a light, girlish form, eluding the j j many hands that sought to stay her course, rushed to the brink of the cliff, and neither pausing nor looking buck, sprang elear | ! from tlie rock with the agility of a deer, j | and sank from sight beneath the waves. In an instant, the youngest and bravest of tlie trilie were bounding down the precipi-1 tons rooks at tho rear of the cliff, and in another instant a score or more of strong , and vigorous swimmers were diving deep in the water at the base of the rock, all ea- j ger to rescue the darling of the tribe- j | Nemaset! But their efforts were futile, j i Hhe did not again re-appear upon the sur- j face of tlie water, nnd the most hardy di- i j vers were unable to find any traces of her whatever. Deep down among the long j waving sea weed, which she clutched in I her death agony, the poor Indian maiden shared the wretched fate of her lover. Circumstantial Evidence. A story illustrating the crushing force of ; mere circumstantial evidence has for its I liero a Russian gentleman of distinction,, ! who, provided with strong nnd fluttering (recommendations, visited tlie coin and medal room of a certain national institution. The coins mid medals in this collection being to all intents nnd purposes priceless, the curators are compelled to exercise the very utmost caution as to the admission of strangers, and to keep a sharp look-out on the visitors while they are inspecting the rarest of the numismatic treasures. The Russian gentleman wished to see a medal -say of Constantine Chlorns —which was of gold, of large size, and reputed to he | i unique. Suddenly, while he was bending , over it, the medal disappeared, and the i foreigner declared tlmt it hail slipped from i his Imml nnd failed on tlie floor. After a scrupulous examination of every chink and cranny in tlie room, the officials began to doubt tlie stranger’s integrity, and intima ted that it would be necessary to call in a i detective and to have him searched, where ! upon the gentleman evidenced great men tal disturbance. As this agitation only confirmed tlie suspicious guilt, a police- , mail was actually summoned; but, just as the half resisting stranger was about to be ■ j exposed to gross personal indignity, an at ‘ tcndnnt cried out tlmt lie lmd found the medal. The effigy had indeed fallen to the ground, nnd rolled under one of the ' presses. The curators of the collection, ' of course, overwhelmed the Russian goritle j man with apologies; but they could not re | frain from asking him why lie had exhib ited so great reluctance to lie searched. “For this reason,” said the foreigner, still pallid and trembling with agitation, “It i inis been generally asserted iuul believed i that the fellow to your Constatine Clilorus j medal is not to bo found in the whole world. You told me so, half a dozen times, 1 this morning. Now I happen to possess n j counterpart of this very medal.” Ho pro duced it, as he spoke, from his waist-coat pocket—“and it was my wish to enjoy your discomfiture when 1 proved to you 1 that your treasure was not unique. But wlmt would have been my position if your ; medal had not come to light, and mine had been found in iny pocket? Who would have believed in my story of tlie oounter ! part?" This incident is strange but true. A Singular Suit for Damages. The Washington Slur of Saturday sava: Mann. Carrington Carrington have en tered anit for William H. Wilnon against Rev. Daniel Draper, pastor of Union Bethel Church, for damages laid at $5,1)00 for expelling him from the membership of the church. Tlie plaintiff is a well known colored man, nnd iu his declaration states that until the commission of his grievance lie had not been suspected to have been guilty of any immortality or dereliotiou of duty, or conduct unbecoming a gentleman or u Christian; and that for nva years lie had been a member of the Union Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, the rules and regulations of which he has observed, and by liis walk he obtained tne good opinion of the membership. He changes that the defendant, with the intention to injure liis good name and bring him into public scandal and disgrace and to deprive him of the communion and fellowship of the members and the enjoy ment of the ordinances, as well as the temporal and spiritual advantages, defen dant, of the 19th ot April, before the con gregation and people, without authority of law, and contrary to the rules and regulations of the clinrob, declared that plaintiff was no longer a member thereof, aud then aud there expelled him. And by the means of said grievance caused the plaintiff to Vie suspected of committing some immorality, crime or misdemeanor and of violating the rules and regulations, and for that reason members and citizens have refused to have any transaction or acquaintance with him to his damage $5,000. Knowledge is Power. That knowledge is power was happily illustrated by nu incident that happened in Edinburg some years ago. A crowd had gathered around two dogs. The larger ono, a big aud powerful mastiff, had the smaller one in his relentless grip. Every effort had been made to lessen liis hold, such as slitting his ears and pinching his tail, but all in vain. At length a quiet, scholarly-looking gentleman came up, and asked to lie allowed to separate the comba tants. Assent was given, amid laughter and jeers, when drawing a Rimffbox from his pocket, he applied a pinch of the titil lating power to the mastiff’s nose, which caused him not only to release Ids hold, hut to make off as last liis legs would carry him. The scholar was greeted with cheers, to which he only replied— “ Gentlemen, I have given you proof that knowledge is power.” SrceEss. —There is nothing so abject as the worship of more success, unless, in deed it be the worship of more wealth. There is nothing lower than to admire and flatter a man simply because he has got on, because he has come to be talked about in the way he wished to be talked about, and to tliiuk scorn of others whose merits and ; efforts may nave been equal to his, or very likely much greater, but whose merits and efforts have, from some cause or other, not been so lucky as his in gaining the object at which they aimed. ■i.i.i • - The observation, of a married mail have led to the conclusion that money put into mirrors is a good investment, as they afford a marvelous amount of gratification arid comfort to a woman. He says his wife thinks just as much of ciiosult ing her glass when she ties on an apron as when she ties on a bonnet; and while he goes to the door at once when there is a rap. she exclaims, “Mercv ! Joseph, who ia that?” aud daahea for the looking-glass. Wakefulness. When persons who do not, otherwise ap pear to be nick suffer from continued wake fulness, this is a sure sign of mental ex ; Imustion, Wiien any part of the body is ; specially exerted, the blood flows in in creased quantity to that jrnrt. Ho when i there is any stress laid on the brain, the, ( head becomes surcharged witii blood, as is shown by the flushing of the face. If this | condition is long continued, the blood i vessels lose the power of contracting, j The brain remains in an excited state, I even when the mind has no longer any de > sire to work, and it eon not take its jn-oper | rest in sleep. In order to enjoy refreshing sleep, it is necessary that the blood lie not concentrated in tlie bead, but be diffused equally through all parts of the body. ; Xliis is prolmbly tLc reason why a warm I hath just before going to lied is so coudn j cive to a good night's repose. It is, how i ever, the iiest way not to allow the mind j to get excited near tlie hour of rest, but to I lot it run down gradually, like a clock, in j ; the evening. There lmvo been some wonderful cases iof sleeplessness caused by undue mental ! exertion. Boerbaave, the Hutch philoso | pLitr, tells us that one time he was so ah- j ' sorbed in a particular study, that he did ! not close his eyes in sleep for six weeks. : This seems incredible. A Freucji general! | asserted that for a whole year, while en ! gaged in active warfare, he slept but one , . hour in the twenty-four. These and si mi | lar eases are probably exaggerated. We j all know how often people are unwilling j 1 to admit tlmt they have been asleep, when ' they liuve had a sound nap. Tlie persons : J mentioned Could not have survived such | prolonged wakefulness. An attendant on j ihe late Emperor Louis Napoleon, whose nervous system had become deranged, died simply from inability to sleep. A Remarkable Trial and Narrow Es cape from the Gallows. An Indianapolis dispatch says oir Mon day Mrs. Nancy Clem was arraigned on her fifth trial at Lebanon before Judge l’nlmer for tlie murder of Jacob and Nancy Young, near this city, in 1868. A motiou was made by the prosecuting at torney to enter a nolle prosequi, giving ns i his reasons the death of one of the impor tant witnesses, the absence of others in California, and the want of funds to con tinue tlie prosecution. This was taken under advisement and after lengthy discus- } sion, a decision was rendered to-day grant ing the motion and setting Mrs. (ilem at) liberty. On the first trial in this citv the jury fniled to agree. Tlie second and third trials resulted in conviction and a life sen tence to the penitentiary. In both cases the Supreme Court reversed tho decision. ; A change of venue was then taken to Boone county, nnd for a third time the jury returned a verdict of guilty aud af fixed a life sentence in the penitentiary. I Tlie case was again appealed to the Hu preme Court ami the verdict set aside, the court ruling that the murder of Jacob and j Nancy Young occurring at the same time and place, was but one crime, for which but ono and not two indictments could lie made. Binding White Ciuldken to Neokoks. —We lealm from Mr. Mills, the enthusias tic friend of the Orphan, that his contact . with those unfortunates has developed the j horrid fact that many white children in this State have either been bound out to j negroes, or are serving them in a menial capacity. He thinks that in Charlotte, alone thirty or forty instances of this kind ' may be found. One case of peculiar hor ror lie discovered there, that of a white woman, the widow of a Confederate sol-: dier, employed asa cook in a negro family, nnd her daughter, a child of ten years of I age, acting as scullion. Mr. Mills obtained ! possession of the latter, and took it to Ox- , ford, but such was its ragged condition, that until ho was aided by a benevolent Jew with a supply of clothing, she was unfit to be placed on the cars.— Hillsboro, N. 0., Gazette. Bh.wtno a Ghanoeh.— Pomona who visit barber sliopx would givo n premium | for a 1 wrber who would not insist upon j them lmving their “hair cut,” or submit | ting to a “shampoo” when they only ! wished to bo slmved. A man who called j recently at a tonsorinl establishment ion Smitliville street succeeded in uon j plussing a most persistent knight of the razor. Tho barber iusisted upon giving tiie transient customer a “shampoo," ami the T. C. peremptorily demanded why such a request was made. Then a little colloquy ensued something like this; Barber—" Your head’s very dirty, salt !” T. C.—“ Well I know it- is, and I want ! it dirty.” Barber—" Want it dirty I Why, wliat ! for ?” T. C.—“ Well, I’m a granger, aud I ' want to have soil on my head.” Tho barber ceased hisimportnningsand f quietly shaved his man. The Cost of the Ohio Whiskey War. —The effects of the women's whiskey crusade in Ohio is commented on by the figures in the Internal Revenue Bureau. The Commissioner states that on compar ing the month of March, 1873, with March, 1874, it is shown that the value of the whiskey manufactured during last month in Ohio is SBO,OOO less than iu the same month of last year, while the value of that sold is only $7,000 less. This indicate, he explains, that the consumption lias fallen off’ very slightly, while the manufacture has been checked to a much greater extent. The manufacturers got frightened, but the drinkers stood up to their word manfully. — * CT.kas Tkkth. If you will only keep your teeth clean they won't decay.

Ibo Lewis. • - - China. A country where the roses have no fragrance and the women no petticoats; where the laborer has no Sabbath, and the magistrate no sense of honor; where the roads bear novehio les, and the ships no keels; where old men tlv kites; where the needle points to the south, and the sign of being puzzled is to scratch the anti podes of the head; where the place of honor is ou the left hand, and the seat of intellect is in tlie stomach; where to take off your hat is an insolent gesture, and wear a white garment is to put yourself in mourning: which has a literature without an alphabet, aud a language without a grammar. A Greenfield farmer dropped into a drag store Saturday, and after looking around for a moment ordered’a pint of linseed oil and two ounces ot peppermint essence put up together. The clerk filled the order, hut being rather curious to know what was r anted of the mixture he made hold to inquire. “Why, for ha'r ile. of coarse," replied the farmer; “tlie gals ia invited to a party Tues day night, and they want to ile up and smell met.” A wicked lit tle boy iu a Denver Sunday school was asked by his teacher if he had learned anything (luring the past week. “Oh, yes," said he. “What is it you have learned?” "Never to lend a deuce when vnu’vo got an ace back of it,” was the re ply.” A Peculiar Pocket. The most difficult thing to reach is a worosn’s pocket. This is especially the case if the dress is hung up in a closet, and tlie man iu a hurry. We think we are safe in saying that ho always is in a hurry on such an occasion.- The owner of the dress is in the sitting room, soranely engrossed in a book. Having told him that tlie article be is in quest of is in her dress pocket in the closet, she has discharg ed her whole duty in the matter, and can afford to feel serene. He goes at the task with a dim consciousness tlmt he lias been there before bnt says nothing. On open ing the closet door and finding himself con- : fronted with a number of dresses, all I turned inside out, presenting a most for midabie front lie hastens back to ask, •'Which dress ?” and being told the brown one and also ashed if she has so many dresses that there need lie any great effort to fiuil tho right one, he returns to the , closet with alacrity, and soon has his j hands on the brown dress. It is inside out like the rest—a fact he does not notice, however, until he has made several meffec- timl attemps to get his hand into it. Then ho turns it around very carefully and passes over the pocket several times with ( out being awure of it. A nervous moving :of his hands, and an appearance of pers !pi ration on his forehead are perceptible/ iHe now dives one hand in at the back, | and feeling around, finds a place, andpro ’ cecds to explore it, when he discovers that ; he is following up the inside of a lining. ; The nervousness increases, also the pers- I pirution. He twitches the dress on the ' i hook, and suddenly the pocket white, plump and exasperating, come to view. ; I Then he sighs the relief he feels and is I mentally grateful he did not allow him aelf to use any offensive expressions. It is all rigid no x. There is tlie pocket in j plain view—not the inside, but the outsid, but tlie outside and all lie lias to do is to put liis band right around in the inside and take out the article. That is all. He can’t help but smile to think how near he j was to getting mad. Then lie puts his hand around to the other side. He does not feel the opening, j He pashes a little further—now he has j got it—he shoves the hand down, and is ! very much surprised to see it appear op- j [Kimto liis knees. He had made a mistake. He tries again; again lie feels the entrance, and glides down it, only to nppear again as before. Tills makes him open his eyes, J and straighten his fuce. Ho feels of the outside of the pooket pinches it furiously, lifts it up, shakes it, and altar peering closely about tlie roots of it. he says, “By gracious !’’ nnd commences again. He does it calmly this time, liecause hurrying only makes matters worse. He holds up breadth after breadth, goes over them carefully, gets liis hand first into a lining, i then into the air again (where it always I surprises him when it appears,) anil finally into a pocket, and is about to cry with triumph when lie discovers that it is the pocket of another dress. He is mad now; tiie closet air stifles him; he is so nervous he can hardly contain himself, nnd tho pocket looks at him so exnsperatingly that lie can not help bnt “plug” it with liis clench first, and immediately does. Being somewhat relieved by this performance, I he lias a chance to look about him, and | aoes that he. has put his foot through a ; band-box and into the crown of wife’s 1 bonnet; lias broken the brim to liis Pan ama hat, which was hanging in tlie same closet, nnd tom about a yard of bugle trimming from anew clonk. As all his trouble is due directly to his wife infatua tion in hanging her dresses inside out, he immediately starts after her, and, impetu ously urging her to the closet, excitedly and almost profanely intimates his doubts pf there being a pocket in his dress any-! way. The cause of the unhappy disaster ; quietly inserts her hand inside the robe, I anil directly brings it forth with tlie! sougbt-for article in its clasp. He iloesh’t know why, hut this makes him madder than anything else. -Danbury Netis. How to Make the Mischief, Keep your eye on your neighbors. Take care of them. Do not let them stir without watching. They may do some thing wrong if yon do. To 1m sure, you never knew them to do anything very bad, but it might be on yonr account that they have not. Perhaps if it had not been for yonr kind care tliev might have disgraced themselves a long time ago. Therefore, do not relax any effort to keep them where they ought to be. Never mind yonr own business—tlmt will take care of itself. There is a man passing along—he is looking over the fence—be suspicious of him; perhaps ho contemplates stealing, some dark night; there is no knowing what queer fancies he may have got in liis head. If there are any symptoms of any one passing out of the path of duty, tell every one else that you see, aud be particular to see a great many. It is a good way to cir culate such things, it may not benefit your self or any one else particularly. Do keep something going silence is a dreadful thing; though it is said there was silence in Heaven for the space of half an hour, don’t let any such thing occur on earth; it would be too much for this mundane sphere. If, after all your watchful care, yon can not see anything out of the way iu any on f you may he sure it is not because thej have not done anything bad; jierlmps in an upgnrded moment you lost sight of them—throw out hints tlmt they are no better than they should be, that you should not wonder if the people found out what they were, after awhile, then they may not hold their heads high. Keep it going, and some may take tiie hint, ana begin to help you along after awhile, and there will bo music, and eyerythiug will work to a charm.— Ex. The habit of hanging mackerel on a nail near a door to drip broke up a match on Essex street Wednesday night. The couple got home late in the evening, and going around back of the house so not to dis turb the folks, they sat down on the stoop to think. During the process she leaned her head in its new spring hat against the house, and became absorbed in the stars and other improvements, while he tenderly eyed his boots. About a half hour was spent in this profitable occupation, when theyoung man felt something trickle down kisneck. “Don’t weep. Julia,” ho softly murmured. “lain’t,’’said she, surprised. He looked up, and his eyes rested on an oozy substance back of her head. “What’s that on the back of your hat?” he cried. She jumped up at this interrogation, and instinctively placing her hand on tin; back of her head, drew it away again full of an unpleasantly flavored slime. With a shriek of rage and passion the infuriated girl tore tho mackerel from the nail and trampled them beneath her feet while she snatched off her hat and tore it in shreds with her livid fingers. The horror-stricken young man not knowing what else to do, jumped the first feuee, and disappeared, and hasen’t been seen since by the unfortunate girl,— Danbury Netes, A Kentucky horse jockey has hit upon a rubber tube running from tlie bit to the seat of the sulky, where there is attaohed a rubber bag for water or spirits, from which the trotter can drink refreshment on his track without pausing.
