THE ONEIDA COUNTESS.
True Story of a Frenchman's
with tho Indians.
Life
In thf y-ar of tin French rovolution,
17'.2, a youii"; man f rtMl )irth, line
i'(lar;it ion and o;oimI allrvs. win nas
";lail t oseape from Paris w ith his life,
eauie tt this country, lie was tall ami
haiulsome, viJi the manners of an
aritterat. Fitnlinir nothiii"; to tlo (for
the physical lalor of the .locks was so
much la-tter done hy the ni'riH-s that
he coulil not stantl the competition) he
finally jruvc up in tlespair; anil while
ho hail money for the few implements
neeiletl, t-turtcil for the Onciila counUy,
where lie cut a few saplin"rs ami built
himself a shelter from the weather,
lie endeavored to support himself liy
f:shiiio'. shotitiny; ami trapping, but had
made little proLTress, when he was
strieken luwn with fever. Ilis end
.secrnel coming". He was alone and
helplev. ami. eominen lino; himself tt
the care of Heaven, he lay down to die.
On the other side of the wood near
whirli he had built his hut, but hidden
entirely from his view, there lay an
Indian village, tine afternoon, an In
dian trirL named Xanita, out lcrryinpr.
espied the hut of the stranger, and
nalurally peered into it. Hearing no
inMse., and seeing no one, she linally
entered :inl found a handsome- man
lyin": prone, very pale and apparcntly
dta3 Her woman's heart was touched
with pity. She wiw, ttM, that, though
iosenstbh', the mini was still alive.
Tii.- young girl paused not to think
of his color. Her licet feet tttoli her
itiieli to her wigwam, whetic; she re
turned with milU, nun ami a blanket.
With the latter she covered him, ai'iL
pourinir a little rum down his throat,
rUie pillowed his head upon her lap
and sat still ami watched him. Pres
ently h.' opened his tine eyes and gave
her a dim. wandering, wondering look.
Hut he was laint. lie saw, however,
in the large, lustrous, black, deep-set
eyes of tin stjiiaw legibly written:
"Th"u shalt not die forsaken, stranger."
She signified to him as well as site
could that he must sleep now, and that
shr would return after awhile and see
biui.
In a couple of hours the Indian girl
returned to her patient with food and
medicines for the night- She found
him still very feeble, but much better:
she made him cat ami gave him to
umlert..nd by eye and pantomime
that ho must sleep, and she would see
him as early as possible the next morn
ing. in the morning the Indian girl told
her mother a I tout the stranger. At
lirst the sipiuw was suspicious but she
went with her daughter to .see the
stranger, when her heart warmed to
the young paleface: ami, with true
womanly feeling, she busied herself
about the sick man. The- women re
moved hi :ii to their own wigwam for
better nursing.
Three weeks' good nursing brought
him round, and he was a man again in
all but strength. The patient endur
ance of the count, with his tiict,
graceful manners, won the little, com
munity, and all found a pang in their
h arts iit the mention of his depar
ture. The obi warrior, one morning, said:
"Stranger, the time has conic when
you should im longer be a stranger.
You liave a noiuo in your own country.
What is it?"
"Arthur I)c Lille, they call me in my
own country. "'
"Then. Arthur IK; Lille," said the
chief, "stay with our people another
noon. Hunt with us. fish with us. go
to our council lircs, smoke with us, then
go back to your own country. Or, if
you like the red man's life and will
east votir lot with us, we will adopt you
into our tribe. You shall Ih; my son;
you shall Ik- a hunter ami a warrior.
Adopt our custom and our costumes,
and we will give you a wife from our
tribe."
Xanita explained what he did not un
derstand to He Lille, who, turning to
the chief, said:
"It is well said. It shall Ik; bo," and
offered his hand.
They smoked a pipe together, and
the understanding was complete.
Arthur De Lille rapiitly grew from
eonvalesc.-nee to robust health. He
walked, wrestled ami ran with the
young braves, his great height Wing
of iu ue li advantage to him. Ilis educa
tion in the school of the athletes and
in fencing and shooting in Paris now
lH-caine of great service to him. With
returning health he devclojied great
physical power: the Indians were
proud of him, he was their ejnal in
most sport.s, their superior in many
things.
As the time approached for his de
cision, De Lille went to the old w ar
rior an I s i id:
"He Lille wants to go into retreat
for three days to consider his decision,
lie wauts to bo alone, to consider the
future, to consult the IJreut Spirit."
"De Lille sieaks wisely. It shall le
so. No one shall spvuk to thee, to ask
anything of thee for three days."
It was so ordered. lie took his gun
and went to tho top of a mountain,
and there considered his situation. He
reviewed the civilized savages ol
Franco, destroying everything that was
good. Then he turned to the iK.'ueeful
civilization of the savages going on
around him and thought of what he
should lose, na3, had lost, in France;
then of the life of toil and labor before
him; then of its freedom the joyous,
WlM life of tl;,. I).ii;;n.
He thought how he had Iwn snatched
from death at home; how he had suf
fered iu New York and since; how now
by this Indian woman he had Wen
brought from death to life, ami he
1. Hiked up to the threat Spirit and
prayed: "Direct me in all my doings
with Thy most gracious favor and fur
ther me with Thy continual help."
Then he laid down to rest and think.
For three days he continued the medi
tations that were to fix a life, and at
length rose from the ground rejoicing
in a psalm of praise: "I am an Indian,"
he .sai.1. "I thank. Thee. Father, for
this revelation of Thy wilL"
The mind thus made up is fixed for
ever, and it was so with Ie Lille, lie
now sought the accomplishment of his
purpose with avidity. On his way
home he spoke to every one he met,
and meeting the old warrior he said:
"I am an Indian; embrace me."
"Welcome, my son."
And the chief embraced him.
De Lille said that he was ready for
whatever ceremonies were necessary.
"I'll settle il at the council of the
braves to-night." was the reply.
'You promised me a wife." said IV
Lille, "(live me X'anita? One moon
from my adoption into the tribe I'll
take her."
'My son. we must see what she says
to that: but I'll not object."
They entered the wigwam, carrying
sunshine into it, IV Lille strode up to
Xanita s mother and kisssl her. lie
went up to Xanita and said:
'Xanita. I am an Indian: Help me
to le a good one."
Her bright eyes (lanced in ecstacy.
as she threw herself on his lmsom ami
wept there. IK Iim iked round, ami the
mother was weeping on the old man's
bosom. F.veu the old warrior's eye
was moist.
IV Lille was adopted into the triln;
with the usual ceremonies, ami great

A few days ago, says a Washington
errrespondeiit. Secretary Noble got so
angry Isceause a visitor apjieared in his
private room holding a lighted cigar
that he threatened to have him ejected
by colored department messengers.
The secretary's antipathy to tobacco is
miconiiucrnblo and has jvisscssed him
since he was a small lny. An old friend
tells this story of his dislike for the
weed:

Otie-rly Named.
The name "M nrderkill," applied to an
'mportai'.t stream in Delaware, is ex
luincd in popular tradition by a ruri-
is story that is told of early settlers in
i.tther part of the country. Acconl
g to the legend the stream took its
.;me from the fact that an early Kuro
e::n explorer, having landed on the
nnk of the creek, persuaded a dozen
Fives ti drag his cannon by a rope
.-tl alx.ut the muzzle ami touched oil
e gun with murderous results when
Is dupes had .'fiit iu line. The name,
f course, is merely a corruption of the
:iL-h Motherkill. meaning another
'.ream, ln-canso it is a large creek with
aany tributaries. Then' is elsewhere
in Delaware a limadkill. which has
cemoto Ih- spelled with a final "n," ap
parently lK-cause the Knglish settlers
t.mk its last syllable to Ik- the same
with the last sy llable of limekiln.

Tie steamship Colon, of the Pacific
Mail line, was only twenty-four ho-.-.rs
out from the Isthmus hut already four
convivial spirits had formed a friend
ship, and were seated in the smoking
riHim talking of the business and
pleasure that marked their years of
life in different countries of South
America, for all had come from points
Ik-low the equator.
It was eleven o'clock. A quiet little
poker game had passed time for awhile,
but the cards had lain untouched on the
table for an hour. The night was love
ly, hardly a ripple could Ih- seen on the
mtM m-fronted water, and the Colon
forged ahead as if crossing a pond,
throwing aside a phosphorescent spray
and kicking up a swirl of fire with her
propeller as she knocked oil fourteen
knots an hour.
It was the perfect night that had in
duced the four occupants of the smoker
to b-ave their cards and sit ln-side tin
large door, where they could ltK.k over
the vessel's rail an.l at the same time
converse together.
John lK-vine. a civil engineer, who

remarked that during all t'o time he

"What is it. captain? Let's have the
story," said an American consul, who
was going home on b-av... "I'll
warrant there's something rather in
teresting if you would tell it."
"Yes, let's hear it!" chimed in the
other twti.
Capt. Paul lighted a second long,
black cheroot an.l replied: "Well, it's
a curious yarn, and I sometimes
wonder whether I really passed
through it all or not. but when it
seems only a dream to me all I have to
do is to look into my trunk. There is
s iiiething there that is a vivid re
minder of th-.- night that I will tell you
alMiut, and that something 1 will show
you in the morning.
"Of course, gentlemen, you know
that Mrs. Paul accompanies me, hut I
don't supp ise yon have notic.-d my
three-year-old son who is cared for by
a Peruvian nurse."
"I have," remarked the consul, "and

had sunk in the Guayaquil river at

"It meant a four months" stay at
that hot little town sixty miles from
the sea coast, and so I at once rented a

the city and installed my wife, liahy

that it was dangerous to leave any of

and the nights became warmer we lnith

"One d:ry I had leen detained in

I mounted my horse to return, for
there had 1-een a survey held that day
on the steam -r. which by this time had
been raised, and I waited to bear the
report. The night was a perfect one.
much like this. I had moonlight to
cheer my way until near home, but the
last rays came over the hill as I rode
past the house, and they just showed
me that the front door was half open.
I must have those doors closed at
night." thought I. as I rode into the
stable, ami taking off Tom's saddle I
threw him some bay and walked back
to the cottage.
"You all are awar how carefully a
man walks when he enters a house
where a year-old baby is. Indeed, it is
self-precrv;;tiiin in many cases. And
in this instance I did what many a
