Do we heed the homely adage, handed down from days of yore, "Ere you sweep your neighbor's dwelling, clear the rubbish from your door ?" Let no filth, no rust, there gather ; leave no traces of decay ; Pluck up every weed unsightly ; brush the fallen leaves away. If we faithfully have labored thus to sweep without, within, Pluck up envy, evil-speaking, malice, each besetting sin— 'Weeds that by the sacred portals of the inner temple grow ; Poison weeds the heart defiling, bearing bit terness and woe— Then, perchance, we may have leisure o'er our neighbor watch to keep ; All the work assigned us finished, we before his door may sweep ; Show him where the moss is clinging—token ever of decay— Where the thistles, thickly springing, daily must be cleared away. But, alas! our work neglected, oft we mount the judgment seat; With his failings, his omissions, we our weary brother greet; In some hidden nook forgotten,searching with a careful eye, We the springing weeds discover—some slight blemish there descry, For Lis slothfulness, his blindness, we our brother harshly chide ; Glorying in our strength and wisdom,we con demn him in our pride. Ask not who he has neglected thus before his door to sweep ; Why grown careless, he has slumbered, failed his garden plO to keep. On the judgment seat still sitting, we no help ing hand extend To assist our weaker brother, his shortcom ings to amend ; For his weariness, his falCring, we no sweet compassion show, From cur store no cordial bring him, no en couragement bestow ; • But while buSied with our neighbor, urging him to ceaseless care, Calling to the thoughtless idlers to their labors to repair, Lo! unseen the &Ist has gathered ; weeds are growing where of yore, Flowers rare and sweet were blooming when we swept before our door. Ah 1 bow easy o'er our brother faithful ward and watch to keep : But, alas ! before our dwelling hard indeed to daily sweep ; Harder than to share the conflict "by the stuff' at Lome to stay ; Easier far to sit in judgment than to humbly watch and pray. Ekc HUCKSTER JIM. EY REBECCA. HARDING DAVIS "PEAS !" "Champion of England peas ! Fresh pulled this morning !" Carroll Ilutter sauntered to the window as the cry sounded in front of tt. "Do come here, mamma! Did you ever see anything so absurd ? Positively, Rollins has stopped the wretched creatures ! It is a disgrace to the house." The wretched creatures .were a donkey and its driver, a thin, lame boy of twelve, clad iu well patched rags. The donkey drew a s.)rt of basket wagon, also patched with willow whiles, bits of sappling, etc. Inside were potatoes, peas, and a few bas kets of late strawberries. Mrs. Hutter stepped to the side door, before which the wagon was drawn up, and beckoned to the servant. "Rollins, why do you bring that miser able cart near the house ? You should either send it to the back door, or buy from the provision storcs." "Because, madam, cook says that this boy's vegetables are just out of the ground and those in the stoles arc stale. I could have sent him to the back door, but the lad is inclined to resent an 'order' of any sort." Mrs. Ilutter, like many fashionable wo men, liked to fancy herself a capable housekeeper. She motioned to the boy. "How can you bring fresher vegetables than Scott, who supplies all the best fam ilies in this neighborhood ?" "Because I raise them, ma'am." "NI/here is your farm ?" "It's only a patch—in Jersey, five miles the other side of the river." "How do you sell your peas ?" inter rupted her son Carroll. "Fifty cents the half peck." "How does that compare with Scott's prices, Rollins ?" "Just double, sir." "You are a cheat, boy I shall not give you a penny more than Scott asks." The boy promptly emptied the peas into the wagon again. "They are worth double. I shall not sell them for less," he said.. Rollins glanced at his mistress. They are worth it, madam. He sells them to Judge Shaffer's people at that price. He's a sort of 'protigy' of Mrs. Shaffer." Now the Shaffers reigned absolutely in that world of fashion in which the Hutters were admitted on sufferance. lg. "A protege of Mrs. Shaffer's? Ah ! Come here, boy," said Mrs. Butter. "You can take his vegetables, Rollins. How did you find the means to go into this bu siness ?" "I had no means, ma'am. I was a news boy. Mother took in sewing. One day I found we could rent a house beyond Camden with an acre of land for what our room cost us. So I took mother out there. We raised vegetables and herbs. I always bring them with the dew on them. I charge the highest price, and only take them to people who have money to pay the highest price." "What do you do %hen the vegetable season is over ?" "I bring in nuts, and pressed leaves, and ferns to the same ladies. I sell to them cheaper than they could buy in the stores, and they give me more than the stores would pay to me." "The boy has the real business faculty," said Mrs. Rutter. Her son Carroll, who was a year older than the pea merchant, caressed his upper lip, where the moustache would .be some time, and stared at him insolently. "What a ridiculous turnout I Did you buy the cart and jackass with the proceeds of the patch, eh ?" "Yes. Did you ever buy anything with money you had earned ?" looking at him steadily. "I? What do you take me for, you impertinent puppy Don't you know a gentleman when you see him, you beggar ly huckster ?" The other boy stopped, surveyed him coolly from head to foot, and then said quietly, "Yes, I think I do. I don't see him here." Carroll grew white with rage, the more as he fancied he saw a covert laugh on Rollins' face. HUNTINGDON, PA,, FRIDAY JUNE 20, 1879. "Take that, you dog !" he said, dealing the cripple a blow across the face with a cane which he carried. The boy staggered back, recovered him self, and sprang at him furiously. Mrs. Hutter screamed. Rollins caught Jim and held him helpless. "Go for a policeman, Carroll ! cried his mother. "I saw him attack you! He meant murder !" Rollins loosened his hold. "You'd bet ter cut and run, Jim," he whispered. Then he said aloud, "he's got clear of me ! Per haps it's as well, ma'am; Master Carroll struck the first blow. The law might have taken that into account." "The law discriminates between gentle men and ruffians, I hope," said Carroll, loftily. Carroll was an insufferably conceited boy, and he went to school that day with a burning sense of his own importance— talked more loudly than usual of "gentle men" and rowdies," by whom he simply meant boys who had money and those who had not. Poor Jim Ludlow went home, on fire with rage in every part of his attenuated little boy. He told his mother the whole story of his encounter. "0, Jimmy, when will you learn to con trol your tongue ? Why should you have provoked the boy ? How do you expect to make others respect you when you do not respect yourself ?" "Nobody respects me. I never can be a gentleman sobbed the poor little cripple. His mother was too wise to reason with him. She drew his head to her breast, and petted him awhile. "Now come to supper, Jimmy.' The supper was good, and neatly served. When it was over, Mrs. Ludlow lighted the lamp and placed some books on the table. Jim, with a bright face, sat down to his lessons. Mrs. Ludlow was an edu cated woman, and was teaching the boy as thoroughly as he could have been taught in the grammar schools. It was late before they put the books away. Jim drew a handful of silver out of his pocket. "Something to go into the bank, moth er," lie said, laughing. "Our capital grows." "Fes; but here is the capital." touching the books, "which will make you the equal of any gentleman in the land, with God's help. We'll ask for that, Jimmy " And they knelt together in prayer. The very next afternoon, Carroll [hitter, driving out to the park, saw the forlorn little cart and donkey in front of him. He was peculiarly elated with a sense of his own consequence just now, as he was seat ed in a new dog cart, driving a pair of blooded ponies which his mother had pre sented to him a month ago. Yet the boy, with his dashing equippage and diamond shirt buttons, was literally poorer as t) money than Jimmy Ludlow. While his mother thought he was at the University, Carroll spent days in billiard rooms, He had played away his last dollar that morn ing. He was afraid to ask for more, and was eensequeuttly in a savage state of ill humor. "Get out of my way :" he shouted with an oath. Jim had drawn up his cart to the side walk, and was giving a handful of berries to a half starved child with a baby in her arms. "That fellow," said Carroll to his c.)m panion, "cheats my mother by charging double price for his stuff, and then gives it to beggars. Jim's face grew red, but he did not turn his head. At that moment an open carriage, drawn by a powerful black horse, came dashing down the street. A gray-haired old man and young girl were inside. The children shrieked, some laborers sprang after the horse, with a wild yell, terrifying him the more. Carroll, in abject fear, though he was not near the horse, sprang from his dog cart and ran to the pavement. The carriage rocked from side to side, threatening to throw the girl out. At the end of the square the street crossed Fair mount avenue, along which a train of steam cars were rapidly approaching. Men and women on the street stood paralyzed with horror. The horse had shied when it passed Car roll's carriage, and slackened its pace a little just then. Jim, the huckster, who had climbed from his cart as the horse slack ened his pace, sprang directly in front of him, and clapped an empty potato basket over his head. The animal reared, and then stopped a second, trembling and wet with perspiration. The horse was seized at once by a policeman who was standing near, and the old gentleman alighted, and managed to fall as he did so, but scrambled up and helped his daughter out of the car riage. A glittering stone dropped from his breast as he stumbled. It rolled into the gutter. '•Well, here, boy ! You stopped that brute just in time !" he said to Jim, who was packing his basket in with the others. "Here! you deserve a gold medal. But perhaps this will serve your turn as well," holding out a bank-note "I don't take wages for that sort of work," said Jim, dryly, climbing into his cart. "0 papa," cried the young lady, "your diamond is gone !" "What ! what ! It must have dropped when I got out of the carriage. Tut, tut. One calamity brings another. Look about, men. I'll pay a big reward for it." Two or three men and boys went groping and stooping over the pavement. Jim alone sat calmly watching them, with a keen. anxious look on his face At last Carroll Flutter, rapping his boot with his cane, sauntered to his dog cart and pre pared to mount. Jim stepped from his cart and ran to his side and said, "I saw you pick up that diamond ! Give it back instantly," he said in a shrill whisper, "or I'll tell that policeman and you shall be arrested." The boy's face took on a ghastly pallor. He stooped, pretended to pick up the stone, and then stepped across the side• walk and gave it to the old gentleman. "Aha ! A thousand thanks ! What re ward can I give you ?" "Oh, he don't work for wages, either !" cried Jim, with a laugh, as he drove off. Twenty years after that day, a tramp found his way to a great sheep farm in Texas. The ground was tilled with skill and intelligence. The large comfortable mansion, the outbuildings, the stately park, all gave evidence of refinement and pros perity. A gray haired lady sat on the portico ; one or two healthy boys were playing on the grass. The dirty, half drunken loafer was ma king his way to the kitchen, when a mid dle-aged gentleman came out of the house. He had a singularly fine face, was strongly built, but walked with a slight limp. The tramp stood still. "Who is that ?" he asked one of the farm men. "That's the judge, him as owns this place. Elected to Congress for next term. Thought everybody knew James Ludlow !" "I thought so !" muttered the tramp. "Who are you, stranger ?" The man lifted his greasy hat from his head, with a long breath. "I am Carroll Mitten No, I will not go in. That man's bread would choke me.!" And he turned his back and went on his way. The men had found different roads in life, and had chosen them de liberately. ciAcct istellany. The Steady Nail Machine. igHAT BURDETTE, THE "HAWKEYE" MAN THOUGHT OF IT AND CONGRESSMEN. Burdette. of the Burlington Hawkey, has been visiting a nail factory in Ashland, Ky., and was so much impressed with the wonderful ingenuity and accuracy of the machinery that he wrote as follows : Why, the machine that makes the nail ought to be allowed to vote. It ought to be-seut to Congress If ever one of the machines of the Norton mills run for Con guess I will come back to Ashland and 4te . for it. It would make a good Con gressman. It can make nails and make tll♦em, to perfection, and it doesn't try to dO-anything else. I watched one of them fo'r an hour, and it went on all the time, making good, useful, perfect nails. It never once talked politics. It never went ou-t to take a drink. It never wanted to introduce a bill to make the govern meet issue four hundred billions of nails and loan them to the people that want to build chicken houses. it didn't say that it thought nails should be remonetized and made a legal tender for. the payment of all debts, public and private. It didn't say that the country would never be prosper ous until we had an inconvertible curren cy of shingle nails secured by a bonded fund of railroad spikes. It just made nails. .4nd-it made them well. Itlnew ij could make nails and so it . just went ahead and made them. Now I once knew a man who made shoes. lie could cobble a pair of old shoes, teo. He could sew on an invisable patch . with a yellow thread so that it would look like sunrise on the Ohio. He could make good shoes. Well, sirs, one day that man dropped his wax in a pailful of pegs; iaid•"down the hammer and got to telling 'what the government ought to do,. sled what Congress ought to do, and what he would do if he were there, and the first thing he knew, they sent him to Congress. He used to charge only ten cents for sew. ing on a patch as thig its a fifty cent piece, and only twenty tents for a new heel, and fifty cents for half soles. And he pounded leather all day for about a dollar and eighty five cents. And the very first day flUwal in-Gougress he introduced a bill for the free coinage of $9,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, in one dollar greenbacks, with a provision that the amount should be doubled if it should appear that the amount originally specified in the bill was insufficient to meet the de manila of trade. And yet that man could make good shoes., That's what I liked about the nail ma chine. It did what it could do best. A Humane Official. •THE GOVERNOR OF KANSAS ON THE NE- ORO EXODUS Jahn P. St. John, the able and humane Governor or Kansas, has had a long inter view with a Tribune correspondent, from which we gather some fresh information about the negro exodus. Up to the present about 4,000 immigrants have arrived in Kansas, and news of many more on the route. The Governor thinks that the exodus has only fairly begun, and that it will con tinue fur years. .He asserts that nearly all the rentgees tell substantially the same story. They say that it matters not how hard they work, how economical they are in the management of their affairs, they invariably come out at the end of each year in debt. They were not permitted to vote as they desired ; they had no ad vantages for educating their children ; for years they have not felt safe either as to life or property. Hundreds of their peo ple had been murdered and subjected to other outrages. The Governor is receiv ing from five to twenty letters per day from colored people in the South, there being almost invariably three inquiries propounded : whether life and property will be safe there, whether they will be permitted to vole as they wish, and whether they will have any school advantages. They would prefer living South, but op pressions have become so harassing as to be no longer tolerable. The Governor thinks that if means could be obtained to form small colonies, that they could all find happy homes and a fair maintenance. He has no manner of doubt about the capacity of the negro for self-support, and believes the exodus bound to go on until the South wakes up to a sense of justice, and grants its labor full protection and the enjoyment of rights. No Time. No time to mend your dress, but when the little hole catches on a nail and be comes a great rent, then you will have time to mend it, and it will be an hour's work, while five minutes would be enough fbr the little hole. No time to pull up that weed, but when your garden is full of weeds you will find that you must exter minate them,and will toil in the hot sun for a whole day. No time to teach that little child of yours, to give it habit of neatness and show it what is right and what is wrong. No time ? Ah, but you will have time in after years to bewail your forgetfulness of that little immortal soul intrusted to your keeping ! We shall have time for twenty things a day which we do not do, busy as we may think ourselves. GRATITUDE is the fairest blossom that springs from the soul ; and the heart of man knoweth none more fragrant; while its opponent, ingratitude, is a deadly weed, not only poisonous in itself, but impreg nating the very atmosphere in which it grows with fetid vapors. THou hast seen many sorrows, travel stained pilgrim of the world. But that which has vexed thee most hath been the looking for evil. And though calamities have crossed thee, and misery been heaped upon thy head, yet ills that have never happened have chiefly made thee wretched. Mixed Matters. A new hired girl sweeps clean. An "old saying"—telling one's age. What is home without a moth there ? A delinquent pupil—blind iu one eye. If you crack a joke, it won't sound well. Still waters run for fifteen cents a glass.

The Florida Presbytery has denounced round dances. And yet, two men schot tische other in that State, not long ago. The definition of the word crab in the dictionary of the French Academy is : "A red little animal that walks backward." No matter if a man does say he wants to be an angel, it is always safe to have the name of a good indorser on the back of his note. It is observable that, when a man who is full of beer attempts to sing, the rythin of the song is pretty certain to be a lager rythw. Lasting reputashuns are a slow growth. The man who wakes up famous sum morn ing iz quite apt to go to bed some nit and sleep it all off. Whatever may be the actual status of an individual, he is sure to be credited with a certain degree of respectability if his boots squeak. How to Preserve Failing Eye-Sight. Sit in such a position as will allow the light to fall obliquely over the shoulder upon the page or sewing. Do not use the eyes fur such purpose by any artificial light. Avoid the special use of the eyes before breakfast. Rest them for half a minute or so while reading or sewing, or looking at small objects, and by looking at things at a distance, or up to the sky ; re lief is immediately felt by so doing. Never pick any collected matter from the eye lashes or corner of the eyes with the finger nail ; rather moisten it with saliva and rub it away with the ball of the finger. Frequently pass the ball of the finger over the closed - tryelids toward the nose; this carries off any excess of water into the nose itself by the means of a little canal which leads into the nostril from each in ner corner of the eye, this canal having a tendency to close up in consequence of the slight inflammation which attends weakness et' the eyes. Keep the feet always dry and warm, so as to draw any excess of blood from the other end of the body. Use eye glasses at first carried in the vest pocket. attached to a guard, for they are instantly adjusted to the eye with very little trouble, whereas, if common spectacles are used, such a process is renpired to get them ready, that to save trouble the eyes are often strained to answer a purpose. Wash the eyes abundantly every morning. if cold water is used let. it be flapped against the closed eyes with the fingers, not strik ing hard against the ball of the eyes. The moment the eyes feel tiyed,the very moment you are conscious of an effort to read or sew, lay aside the book or employ yourself in some active exercise not requiring the close use of your eyes. What is is in the Bedroom If two persons are to occupy a bedroom during a night, let them step upon weigh. ing scales as they retire and then again in the morning, and they will find their ac tual weight is at least a pound less in the morning. Frequently there will be a loss of two or more pounds, and the average loss throughout the year will be more than one pound—that is, during the night there is a loss of a pound of matter which has gone off from their bodies, partly from the lungs and partly through the pores of the skin. The escaped material is carbonic acid, and decayed animal matter or pois onous exhalations. This is diffused through the air in part and in part absorbed by the bed clothes. If a single ounce of wool or cotton be burned in a room, it will so completely saturate the air with smoke that one can hardly breathe though, there can only be an ounce of foreign matter in the air. If an ounce of cotton matter be burned every half hour during the night, the air will be kept continually saturated with the smoke unless there be an open door or window for it to escape. Now the sixteen ounces of smoke thus formed is far less poisonous than the sixteen ounces of exhalations from the lungs and bodies of the two persons who have lost a pound in weight during the eight hours of sleeping, for while the dry smoke is mainly taken into the lungs the damp odors from the body are absorbed into the lungs and into the pores of the whole body. Need more be said to show the importance of having bedrooms well ventilated and thoroughly airing the sheets, coverlets and mattresses in the morning, before packing them up in the form of a neatly made bed ? TWENTY-FIVE years ago a Missouri boy left his home and started out to become President of the United States. He got as far as Cincinnati. The boy is now a man, and is also one of the best shoema kers in the Ohio State Prison.

ARTICLE XI, THE IROQUOIS INQUIRE INTO THE GREAT- NESS OF TEEDYLISCUNG But in October 15, 1758, at a largo Conference, at Easton, of the Six Nations and kindred tribes, and the Delawares with Teedyuscung at their head, these claims to being a great King of Ten Nations were inquired into. Nichas, a Mohawk, Tagas hata, a Seneca, Thomas King, an Oneida, Tohaaio, a Cayuga, in behalf of the Six Nations, the Nanticokes and Conoys and Tuteloes, declared, that while Teedyuscung constantly gave it out that he was some great man, "we do not know lie is such a great man ;" and if he was so great a man, they wanted to know whether the English or the French had made him such ? The Governor replied : "I can only speak for myself, anu I do assure you that I never made Teedyuscung this great man." THE MORAVIANS AMONG THE DELAWARE& We can not take time to follow the labors of those self-denying and God-fear ing men, the Moravians, who labored so earnestly to convert the Delawares to Christianity. The story of their toils at Bethlehem, on the upper Susquehanna, and in Ohio, makes volumes of interesting reading matter. Had it not been for the wars their labors might have given same permanent results. RENOWNED CHIEFS Among the chiefs who figured among the Delawares after they moved to the Ohio we may mention such as Shingas the desolator of the borders of the Juniata re gion, for whose scalp the Province offered a reward of 200 pounds, and his brother King Beaver, G-likhickan, Pakanke, Nets watwees, White Eyes, Captain Pipe, Boo kongahelas, Killbuck and others. SASSOONAN OR ALLUMMAPSES, Among the Delawares the name of Sas soonan alias Allummapees should not be forgotten. He was their King as early as 1718, in that year heading a deptitation of chieftains, who signed a release to all lands from Delaware to Susquehanna, from Duck creek to the mountains on this side of Lechay. In 1709 he lived at Baton (Pestang). In 1728 he removed to Sha mokin, where he was often associated with Shikellimy the goOd Oneida chief, and Iro quois magistrate, who had the general management of Indian affairs in._ Pennsyl vania. Allummapees was a good hearted Indian, a true friend of the English, and an advocate of peace. Like nearly all of his race, however, he had that inveterate fondness for rum ; and in one of his drunken brawls at Shamokin in 1731, killed his nephew, Sam Shakatawlin, over which, in his sober moments, he nearly troubled him self to death, refusing for many days to take any food. He was a great chief al ready in 1709 and 'l2, taking part in the "tribute" matter already referred to. In October 1728, he told the Governor : "The Five Nations have often told us that we were as women only, and desired us to plant corn, and mind our own private busi ness, for they would take-care of what re lated to peace and war ; and that, there fore, we have ever bad good and peaceable thoughts toward you. The Indians have had good times, ever since the Christians settled here, and I hope they will still con tinue so as long as the sun and the light shall endure, and I desire that there may be no coldness between us, so as to hurt you, or any of your or our children. What I now say comes from my heart, and I speak honestly and sincerely for they are not words that come from the mouth and are no more thought of, but they proceed from my very heart." There are two other incidents in the speeches of this poor hea then that display his tender heart, and must excite within us our pity and admi ration. The first is, August 20, 1736, Sassoonan came to Philadelphia and learned that Gov. Gordon was dead. He was in deed "sorrowful" and presented Thomas Penn two strings of wampum. desiring "that his tears on account of that loss may be wiped away, and that he may not longer be sorrowful, but that the sun may shine out again to dispel the clouds and our hearts grow cheerful." Then, "afterwards presenting a belt of wampum of ten rows, he said : 'That as the minds of men arc apt to be discomposed by sorrow, he gave this belt, with their earnest desire that by eating and drinking we should endeavor to forget our griil." ' Poor mortal ! lie knew of no higher consolation in our troubles than eating and drinking ! His benighted soul was not penetrated by the hopes of the blessed Gospel. The second incident was, in June 1728, when, he stated, "That he is now an old man, and was troubled to see the Christians settle on lands that the Indians have never been paid fur ; that be must soon die ; and his children may wonder to see all their Father's lands gone from them; that this may occasion a difference between their children and us, arid he would willingly prevent any misunderstanding that may happen." Poor creature he saw and yet did not see what was coming. He became blind and doting before he died, yet he would allow of no successor during his life time. In 1746, Shikellimy advised the Government to set up a successor, as he had lost his senses. In 1747 Weiser writes : Allummapees is dead. He was supposed to be near 100 years old. Among the causes contributing to the scattering and alienation of the Delawares, was the difficulty of getting a successor. It was not until the spring of 1756 that Teedyuscung was made King. The anarchy of this inter-regnum, and the new King's peculiar conduct have been already de scribed. SAINT TAMMANY. As we have traveled from King Teedy uscung back to King Allummapees, let us now conclude this sketch of the Delawares by going a step still farther back, and notice his predecessor, the immortal Tam. many, the patron Saint of America. His name, like nearly all others, is variously spelled : Tammanens on a deed to Wm. Penn in 1683 ; Tamanen on a deed ; also on another ; Tamnen on deed of same year; Tamanee on Col. Rec. July 6, 1694 (See his speech above quoted); Tamened by Hackewelder ; Tamany and Tammany are forms given for the Saint. Hackewelder speaks of the difficulty in getting information from the Indians of deceased individuals, even of their greatest chiefs, for "no white man who regards their feelings will introduce such subjects in conversation with them." It was an Indian custom never to name the dead. Hence Hackewelder excuses himself by saying: "Ali we know of Tamened, is that he was an ancient Delaware chief, who never had his equal." It seems to us, that if he knezt this be knew a great deal ! Col. Geo. Morgan, in 1776, visited the Delawares, in Ohio, by direction of Con gress, and in remembrance of their ancient chief, and as the greatest mark of respect., they Delawared Morgan, by conferring on him the name of Tamany. YAMOYDEN THE SAINT AMONG THE WHITES. The f'ame of this great Indian extended among the white people, who fabricated numerous legends respecting him, after the style of Davy Crocket in later days Some affected belief in these stories. Daring the Revolutionary War, his enthusiastic admirers dubbed him a SAINT and he was established under the name of ST. TAMMANY, the Patron Saint of Ameri ca. His name was inserted into some of the Almanacs; and his festival was cele brated on the first day of May in each year. On that day a numerous society of his votaries would collect and walk in pro cessiou through the streets of Philadelphia, their hats decorated with buck•tails, they then proceeded to a handsome rural place out of town, which they called the wigwam where, after a speech in Indian style, called a Big Talk, and the smoking of the calumet of peace and friendship, they spent the day in festivity and mirth. After din ner, there were Indian dances, in front of the wigwam. From the calumet they took a parting blast, and the company separated. It was not until years after peace was re stored, that these yearly proceedings were broken up; and they would doubtless have lasted longer, but for the Misfortune to the owner of the grounds where they were held. After this, Philadelphia and New York had Tamany Societies and Tamany Halls. In their meetings, these societies made an odd figure.in trying to imitate the Indian manner of doing business, as well as applying their names to each other. The lame of the Saint spread over the country. A small village on Tuscarora creek, one half mile from Port Royal., in Juniata county, was long known as, St. Tammany, or Tammany toWn. Tamanend is still a post office i 3 Schuylkill county. Finally the name became ther, title of a wing of the Democratic party in New:York city, and Boss Tweed will long be re membered as an unworthy successor of the old Saint, and as the great Sachem that plundered a great city. A century agi, Tamany was a name tnueh in print. Multitudes of, would be pita.

To Tamany let the full horn go around ; His fame let every honest tongue resound ; . With him let every generous patriot vie, To live in freedom or in honor die. THE CONCLUSIQN ON THE DELAWARES. Such a brief sketch of the Delawares, who in the early days 'figured largely as the temporary inhabitants of the Juniata region, and as the murderers of the first white settlers. Their Assucepachla has changed and their village is gone ; Augh wick, their "old town" in Huntingdon county, and Delaware Run and CoCalamus (Kokalamouche) in Juniata county, re. main to remind us of their presence. Be fore the westward rolling wave of Atlantic emigration they soon receded over the Al leghenies, over the prairies, to the home of their remnant at the setting snn. There is a remnant of about 600 Delawares still living in the Indian Territory, and these have become generally highly civilized and refined. Many of them, of mixed blood, are no doubt among the miscellaneous as sortment of 60,000 Algonquins in the West. Only 263 years ago, the Dutch first began to trade with the Delawares on their own river, and, 10, what mighty changes THE SHAWANESE INDIANS, It remains yet to take a glance at the Shawanese or Shawnees. They were the most restless and troublesome of all the tribes that inhabited this region. It is hard to tell, where they lived, or rather where they did not live. They were a roving set of vagabonds—a pack of Indian gypsies, who at various times sought hos pitality among nearly all the tribes east of the Mississippi. From their language as well as their traditions it is probable that they were once an off shoot of the Foxes iu Wisconsin. The early French explorers and maps place the Chaouanons on the Cumberland river and westward in Tennes see to the Mississippi river. Mitchell's map, 1755, speaks of "the ancient Chauoua nons" as "the native proprietors" of the territory of the Illinois and the river Ohio. De Nouville, in 1688, says that. the Missis sippi river was discovered in 1672, and at the same time the tribes known as Illinois and Chaouanons were found by Jolliet and Marquet, who took possession of those re cently discovered nations in the name of France. Hence, they were in the habit of calling them "our Indians," and claiming alliance with them and a right to their territories; which if measured by the amount of country they rambled over, would have been very extensive. There seems to have been an hereditary enmity between them and the Iroquois, and it is probable that an at early date they were driven southward from the Ohio into Ten nessee. From this they strayed eastward to one of the rivers of South Carolina, some of them turning off into Alabama, others seem to have been in Georgia and even in Florida. From this, most writers infer that they joined the eastern and western Algonquins, between the Iroquois and Tuscaroras ; but we think we have and will prove, in this series of articles, that originally there was no such connection between the Algonquin tribes on the south ; but that nations, which were exterminated before their history was preserved, occupied the whole region, between the Iroquois and their kindred Tuscaroras. It was only after the Iroquois had desolated this whole interior that the Shawanese could travel with impunity everywhere. They bad never stretched eastward, so far as to join the Powhattans. NO. 25.
