An Indian Witch Condemned.
Her Execution, However, Postponed at the
mand of a United States Uliicer.
[From the St. Louis Republican.1
A recent despatch from the
Territory was wired to the
press, stating that, a womau in the Sem
inole nation had been sentenced
death for the crime of witchcraft,
the day of execution fixed for
last. No other particulars were
of the singular proceeding, so
repugnant to the civilization of
present nineteenth century, and
bare mention of which carries the
back to the days of the Salem
craft, when fraud and delusion

however, that New England was
alone in these cruel executions for
supposed crime of witchcraft, but
England and many parts of
people were hanged on similar

that he had very little
about the reported execution,
stated that he D .rned this much,
the woman to be executed was a
woman, and that Maior Tufts,
present United States Indian Agent
the Territory, had sent a
named Wheinery, to the head
or Governor John Chupco, at We

with a message, ordering him to
the execution of the woman until
could make an investigation.
runner was sent from Muscogee,
there was no doubt he reached
Seminole capital in time, and that
execution has been suspended.
Mr. Maston seems to have
doubt that Chief Chupco will inter¬
pose in the matter, as he has the
doning power and the power of
executions the same as the Governor
of a State. The chief is a
and a very good man. He was
enough to take a part, while a
mau, iu the Florida war, and
known by the uiekname of
John.”
Mr. Maston said, with regard to
prevailing superstition respecting a
ief in witchcraft, it. was not
mon among the Creeks, and the
noles were an otlVhot from that
who went into Florida during the
son war. The superstition prevails
a large extent among the negroes,
compose a large proportion of
Seminole nation. They believe in
absurdities of Youdouism, and
the witches kill otf the children.
Maston says during his residence in
Territory he heard of numerous
stances in which witchcraft was ch
ed by the negroes; it was subject
talk among them; but of late years
heard of no executions for that cause

The other day a lady, accompanied
by her son, a veiy small boy, boarded
a train at Little Rock. The woman
had a careworn expression hanging
over her face like a tattered veil, and
many of the rapid questions asked by
the boy were auawered by unconscious
sighs. the boy, § ‘that ... like
‘Ma,’ said man’s
a baby, ain’t he?’ pointing to a bald
headed man sitting just in front of
them.
‘Hush!’
‘Why must I hush ?’
And a few moment’s silence. ‘Ma,
what’s the matter with that man’s
head?’
'Hush, I tell you. He’s bald.’
‘What’s bald?’
‘His head hasn’t any hair on it.’
‘Did it come off?’
‘I guess so.’
‘Will mine come off?'
‘Some time, may be.’
‘Then i’ll be bald, won t I?’
‘Yes.’
‘Will you care ?’
‘Don’t ask so many questions.’
After another silence the boy ex¬
claimed :
‘Ma, look at that fly on that man’s
head.’
‘If you don’t hush I’ll whip you
when we get home,’
‘Look ! There’s another fly. Look
at ’em fight—look at ’em.’
‘Madam,’ said the man, puttiu Q (r
aside a newspaper and looking around,
‘what’s the matter with that young
hyena?’
The woman blushed, stammered out
something and attempted to smooth
back the boy's hair.
‘One fly, two flies, three flies,’ said
the boy, innocently, following with his
eyes a basket of oranges carried by
the newsboy.
‘Here, you young hedgehog, said
the bild-headed man, ‘if you dou’t
hush I’ll have the conductor put you
off the train.’
The poor woman, not knowing what
else to do, boxed the boy’s ears, and
then gave him an orange to keep him
trom crying.
‘Ma, have I got marks on my head ?’
‘I’llslapyou ‘Mister,’ again if you don’t hush.’
said the boy, ‘does it hurt
to oe bald-headed ?’
‘Youngster,' said the mau, 'if you’ll
keep quiet I’ll give you a quarter.’
The l>oy promised and the money
was paid over.

‘This is mv bald-headed money,’ said
the boy. ‘When I get bald-headed I
am going to give hoys money. Mister,

“I ask, through you, Theodore T.l
ton’8 forgiveness, and I humble myself
before bim as I do before my God.’’
So spoke Henry Ward Beecher, out
of the anguish of his remorse and ter¬
ror, on New Year's Day, 1871.
James A. Garfield did not tell the
late Oakes Ames, so far as appears,
that he humbled himself before him as
he did before his God. But he hum
bled himself to the extent of asking
Ames to prop up perjury with another
perjury. Here is a part of lire account
given uuder oath by Ames:
“He wanted to have it go as a loan,
“ti.—Did he claim that it was in fact
a loan?
u A.—No, sir; I do not think he
No, he did not.
“Q,—State all you know in

“I told him he knew very well it was
a dividend. I made out a statement
and showed it to him at the time. In
one conversation he admitted it.”
That is, having lied under oath,
Garfield asked Arnes to lie under oath
also, and so get him out of the scrape.
Ames, however, being a truthful wit
ness, decided to tell the truth,
And less of he the told other hearts that would ache, j

floating vessel in the shape of an in¬

hole iu the upper part, reached from
the platform wholly surrounding the
vessel, and from which small iron
ladders drop down to the water. In¬

are seats and berths, and unuei me
covered bottom is space for provisions.
Ventilation is provided for by an in
genious device. The boat is adapted
.for shoal or deep • water by a ballast
weight which is raised or lowered from
within. It is furnished with a keel
aud rubber. Its peculiar feature is
its method of motion. This is auto¬

wheels attached to shafts which are
conned id with a small propeller,
The principle of the wheels is that
whatever way the wind blows or the

No medicine introduced to the pub¬

corded to Hop Bitters. It stands to¬
day the best known curative article in
the world. Its marvellous renown is
not due to the advertising it has re¬
ceived. It is famous by reason of its
inherent virtues. It does all that is
claimed for it. It is the moat power¬
ful, speedy and effective agent known
for the building up of debilitated sys¬

fered to prove this:
