most to the ankles. She was sitting cross
legged, skinning seal blubber with a rude
knife made of a piece of hoop-iron driven
into a piece of wood. There was no cover
ing on her head excepting a thick mass of
matted hair of a yellowish-brown color, due
to its exposure to the sun and air. The hair
was short, looking as though the fiee entls
had rotted off. She would occasionally raise
her hand, shade her eyes, and look toward
the beach, where she evidently saw those
from whom Mr. Deitman had recently separ
ated. There were two or three of the wild
dogs around the enclosure, which began to

no attempt to escape, but greeted each' oneas
groove along its entire, length ; the other was
pointed and fitted into the groove, in which
it was rubbed rapidly backward and for
ward until it burned.
As she wis about to land at Santa ll.n 'mn
an ox team passed, which so delighted her
that she talked, laughed, danced, and ges
ticulated ; and before that excitement ended
j a man on horseback approached, which gave
I her even more pleasure than the ox team.
At first it was supposed that she thought the
man and horse constituted one animal ; but
if so, the mistake was soon corrected, for,
on landing, she went up to the horse and
carefully examined it. The examination
gave her additional pleasure. She would
turn to her late companions and laughingly
request them to look at the beast. She strad
dled the thumb of the left hand by the index
and middle fingers of the right, and moved
them to represent the horse and rider as they
passed along the beach. S he was taken to
the house of Mr. Nidever, where site be
came the centre of attraction. The Mission
Fathers took a great interest in her sending
to Los Angelas ami other places, hoping to
find some one who understood her dialect,
but failed. Kven the Pcpimaros Indians,
who were said to have had an acquaintance
with the Indians on the island, could not
press was checked. The first ten men were
reduced to bloody pulp, and the others crush,
ed and bruised to death. At this same bat
tle a Confederate shell exploded under a Fed
eral gun and killed four artillerymen, dis
mounted the gun, wounded two men, and the
butt of it flew off at a tangent and killed a
second lieutenant of infantry who was eighty
rods away:
At Fredericksburg, as the Union infantry
marched in solid masses up the valley beyond
the town, the Confederates opened fire from
behind a stone wall. The lighting along the
line was over in ten minutes, and .".Ono rebels
lay dead within reach of each other. In
many cases three or four men had fallen
across each other. A shell from a gun on the
bill exploded in the midst of some New
Hampshire troops and killed a sergeant, a
coiporal and twelve piivat"s and wounded
six others, lie fore the Union troops crossed
the river, and while shelling the town, a shell
struck a house and exploded in a room where
there were five soldiers ami a citizen. All
were blown to pieces, and three citizens in a
room directly overhead were also killed.
Perhaps the most destructive work made
by a shell among troops occurred a few miles
below Vicksburg. A Federal gunboat was
tired upon by light artillery from the bank, 1
ptrsted in plain view. There weie two six
pounders working close together, and each

make it more so. How is t),.y,r apology re
ceived ? An old proverb speaks the world's
judgment : "There is nothing worse than a
drunken man. except a drunken woman."
Nobody apologizes for her. Nobody pleads
that if she had a better husband she would be
a better wife. Ilather, it is claimed, the
w orse a tiihn is. the better his w ife. should be;
and certainly it would eem that there are
wives who think so. The worthy women
who are coupled to unworthy husbands form
a class of martyrs, to which society and hu
manity owe more than the world is aware of;
and the self-denying mothers and sisters who

ami in a Kepublie like this it is the voters
who are on trial at the jw.lls, and whether
j their thoughts and ideas are inch or low is of
, more consequence than the mental or moral

that man be a candidate for the rresj,ici,( ) .
' Suffrage, therefore, is the barometer that in
I dicuies the public irtue t.f the voters. n.,t

said t.f a tlead man and an idol: "The
honors we grant mark how hi-h we stand,

voted but once or twice: i...s have
never voted in a Presidential election ; boys
who will vote for the first time in this t lec
tion; boys who are almost on the edge t.f
the right to vote in this election, w hose years
are insufiicicnl. but who are, nevertheless,
thoughtful bins. The Presidential election
is to all of these inipressjb,. r,,,, ingenious
youths an education in public morality, for
one of the lessons of the hour is one of pub
lic virtue. We will not say that the 111,11
whost heads time has silvered have become

we have already urg'.-d that the election is the
measure of the public virtue of all voters,

i in collecting arclia-ological and otlier speci-

I of Xorth and South America for a Paris
, museum, has found many things on the
Island San Nicholas similar to those pre
i viously collected in Oregon, Washington
I Territory, and further north, and unlike
' anything found either on the mainland or
' the other islands. Also the skuils and other
bones of the human skeletons found there
; are unlike those found in other sections of
Southern California. Xear her enclosure
were several stakes, between which was
stretched a rope made of the seal's sinews,

UiiADY's I. km. Abott! the year 17S0, a
party of whites, under Captain Samuel Ura- :
tly. pursued a marauding party of Indians to
; their village .011 the Cuyahoga, in Summit
conniy ; but, being surprised and put to flight :
I by the enemy, by some means Urady became j
separated from his party, and was in turn
pursued by the whole band of savages. Ap
proaching the rocky chasms of the Cuyahoga
river, and realizing that his life depended 011 i
the leap, he concentrated his whole strength, '
and cleared the chasm by a singl.j leap. At
the point w here the leap w as made the shelv- I
i ing rocks overhung the river, ami made the ;
! width of the channel twenty-one or twenty- j
1 two feet. Struck dumb with amazement, it j
i was some time, before the pursuers collected
thong. .t enough to fire upon him, and then !
I strike for the ford, some distance below. !
i Wounded, and profusely bleeding, Hrady ran
j to the lake which Dears his name, and eluded !
; his enemies by seen ting himself in the w;- !
j lers of the lake. Chagrined at the escape of j
: their expected captive, the Indians retaineil
' to the scene of th; leap, and after consulta- '
; t:on decided that the "pale-face" was 11a man ;
but a turkey, and that he flew across tins '
: stream. As ; record of this decision a rude
i representation of a turkey's foot was carved
1 on the rock from which the leap was made. 1
A Strange Dkham. Nine years ago Wil.
liam Carter, ol Canisteo, dreamed that he was
out with a party hunting for game and that
he struck into a little ravine where some
pheasants flew tip. In his hurry to get a shot
at them he became entangled in the bushes
and thorns, which scratched his face and
hands terribly. After getting through the
bushes he came to a white stone, which was
rull of marks, nnd after a time he discovered
in his dream a fifty barrel flowing oil well.
'I he second night the dream was repeated,
nnd on the third night he dreamed the same
thing. Yet, not being a believer in dreams,
he said nothing about it except to a few
friends. The oil theory was not btomiii!r as
it is now. Three years after this strange
dream he was out hunting with a party 011
IVnnetCs creek, four or five miles south of
Canisteo. All at once he came upon some
bushes, and in his hurry scratched his hands
and face considerably. Thivgauie was gone
in an instant, but after getting through the
bushes heMUvthe white stone he bail seen
three years before, and told his friends there
was oil there, and that it would sometime be
revealed. Mr. Carter went to the Western
Territories and was absent some time, but
could not forget the dream, lie afterward
returnorl nnd has been engaged w ith his fath
er ami brothers in the roundly and machine
shop in Canisteo. Two years ago, when the
men from Bradford came to driil an oil well
here, the first place located was withiu fifty
puis of the spot deserilH-d in the dream, but
through some llaw in the lease they gave up
the s:t, and came near the village and drilled
the well our readers have heard so much
about. On Monday la-t several sharehold
ers with ofiiceis ,,f the new company went to
Dennett's creek to locate the new well, and
nearly all gave in a favorable opinion of a lo
cation which proves tube within fifty yards
of the white stone. Mr. Carter was not in
the party, but he is the man who Las the con
tract for drilling the well. A,,,',-. Oauttr.

a pint bottle full of something, halted a lue

said :
"I found this bottle on the corner back

siagg'-red against a wall, clawing the nirand
