This cumbrous iimopieco was once worn within JOSEPH llllANTS WATCH. the buckskin coat of thji celebrated Me hawk war chief, .Jeseph Brant, whose In dian name was Tliayeudancga, regarding whose accempllshtncnts as a warrior, chief and courtier many legends abound in western New Yerk and Canada, nnd whose Influcnce during the latter half of the past century Is unprecedented In the annals of the Indian rnce. According te tradition, Jeseph Brant first drew the breath of llfe in 1712, en the weeded banks of lhe Ohie river, where his people wcre temporarily wijeurnlng. The home of his family was at the Cauajoharie costle, In the Mohawk valley, nnd his mother returned there whlle Jeseph was quite young. Ills aucestry and the origin of his name are mooted questions, but Brant himself declared that he was a full blooded Indian. It would appear from the rather legendary ovidenee presented that Thaycndanega's father was a distin guished warrior, sometimes called Aro Are ghyadagha and at ethers Niclsus Brant, who bocame sachem of the Mohawks ou the death of King llendrick In 1755. Are ghyadagha had three sous In the English arxnr, and his daughter, MelUe, became the Indian wlfe of bir William Jehnsen, the British superintendent of Indian affairs in North America. Thcre are no accounts of thocerly reiith of Thaycndanega, but from all that Is known he must have been a lnd of un common enterprise.

In the English expedition of 1750 against Fert Niagara, then occupied by the French, Brant, then about 17 years of age, was in the Mohawk contingent that took part In the campaign, ami Is eald te have acquitted himself with n bravery almost rash in Its reckless fero ciousness. Brant received tin ISnglWli education through the liberality et Sir William Jehnsen, who employed him In public business for several years, nnd con tributed te his advancement until he lie came a leading man of the Melmu k nation. . At the beginning of the revolutionary war Tryon county Included all of the colony of New Yerlc west and southwest of Sciienectady, with tliu county t.ent at Johnstown, the residenee of Sir William Jehnsen, who died suddenly en June 21, 1774.

Cob Guy Jehnsen, nnd Jeseph Brant was undo secretary te Guy Jehnsen. The leading men of Tryon county at that dntu wcre all In seme wny connected with the British government, and ull bitter parti sans of the king. They looked upon the spirit of Independence which was then 1m ginning te manifest Itself In the colonies, with ejes of hatred, and by dint of mnnv roscate premises, false tales and general ij-jrauusiui. m.u ieau'i&ni, wu-y iiuu iehj; befere Micccedcd in Infusing something of this hatred Inte the rnlnds of lhe Indians Fer many years tliese Indians had received their supplies through Sir William John John Jehn eon, geno te him for advlce nnd ceuns( 1 and looked upon him ns an eracle. At his death their aiTectieus wcre transferred te his family and successors. They had been taught te rovcrence the nnme of the king, bcllevcd him all powerful nnd considered the officers of the crown their best ft lends Ilcnce It was but natural that they bheuld side with the British In the contest 1h tween king and colonists. At the llr&t mutterings of the colonists Guy Jehnsen organized his fortes, composed of English adherents and the Indians, of whom Jeseph Brant was the leader, and ravaged Tryon county with relentless fury during the war. Brant was commissioned a cap tain In the British service, nnd visited England In 1775. Returning te America In 1770, he entered Inte the conflict with all the foree of his fiery nature, nnd wn.-i speedily recognized as "the principal war chief and ma-tcr spirit of the British In dian allies. His name was associated with every affair in which Indiana wcre en gaged often unjustly, it Is said and be be bo caeo the terror of the American border. The atrocities committed at Wyoming, Cherry Valley and ether frontier settle ments Induced congress te attempt the destruction of nil the towns of tne Six Natieus In the British interest. In 1770 Cieii iSulllvan in vaded their coun try, and en his march up the Cho Che inuug, near Elml ra, encountered a large forceef Brit ish and Indians, under Cel. Butler and Braut, which he defeated. On the arrival of the 5 army at the head WsVS V.UJ1C3U3 jaiie, uS Gen. Sullivan sent a party, under command of discover the Gen esee castle. Boyd' party passed through the lines of Butler's forces, which lay in ambush en the western tide of Conesus inlet, and reached t deserted town near the Canascraga crfiek, undiscovered. On attempting te return en the following morning Boyd was led into lhe ambush prepared for Snlli Tin's entlre army, his parly eut te pleess, and himself and Sergt. Parker made captives. Butler, knowing nothing of Boyd's presence In his rear, hearing the firing, supposed that Sulli van had outflanked liim, and at ence re treated. Boyd had by some means learned that Brant was a Free Masen, and soli citing an Interview with the chief, made himself known as a "brother in distress." The appeal was rocegulzed, and Brant immediately, and in the strongest lan guage, assured Boyd that his life would he spared. Brant, however, being called upon te perform some scrvlce which re quired a few hours' absence left the pris oners In charge of CeL Butler, who, upon their refusal te answer his questions, do de do liveitsd thcre ever te the Indians for tor ture. After the revolution Brant devoted ids time principally te the Interests of his poeplo, who were then settled In Canada, lie displayed great executive ubllity in the management of the nifalrs of his trlbe, aud Ills business training with Sir William Jehnsen steed him In geed stcad. He died in 1607. Brant was a man of hamUome person and agreonble manners.

Whrn with his people, however, he assumed the garb of the tribe, had his face painted, and was a perfect specimen of the Indian, with the execution that ir!E2ff7-"NjissjcaS WN3 his face bore mere marks of culture than these of his fellows. Brant was a thor ough believer In Christianity, and trans trans lnted the New Testament and the Boek of Common Prayer Inte the Mohawk tongue. Twe years age a monument of hcroie slze was unveiled at Brantford, Canada, te the memory of Brant. The unveiling was made the occasion of cere monies which lasted two days, In which Indians representing nearly nil the tribes In the United States nnd Cnnada took part. THE TREE WALES PLANTED.

In theso days Fernande Weed was the mayor of New Yerk, nnd he appointed a committee te entertain the prince. On Oct. 12 the royal visitor accepted nn invitation of the com cem com mltlce te visit Central park. The prince nnd sulte were met nt the entrance by the park commissioners. They nil then proceeded te n spot In the park west of the Mall, n short dlstnnce southwest of the concert grounds, where the ground had lieen prepared for the reception of two young trees. When the pnrtj1 ar rived nt the spot, where there were as sembled n number of xople in carriages nnd 200 park laborers drawn up In line, Mr. Blatchford, president of the park commissioners, nddressed the prince: Umu ItEsrnirw The commissioners of Central aik, te whom tkti Ktate of New Yerk lias In trusted the construction of this Kroat pleasure ground for the ceple, Iiate rvpitcl me te nsk you te de them the faier te plant tlicrotwe trees, ene nn HnRllsh ealc, the ether an American elm.

D. Iiary, who lest 40, 000 legs, nothing daunted by his first un successful attempt, has determined te try It ngaln. The float which he is new constructing is entirely different from the first one; Indeed, it Is net a raft at all. It is n ship constructed of 1)0,000 legs varying in size. Some nre 25 feet long, seme 200. LEAIlV'S BIO TIMlinn 81111. They are placed togethcr In the Bbnpe of a ship's hull, nnd belted and lashcu with thlrty-five tens of wlre rope. The ship Is 700 feet loner, which Is lonecr than any of the steamers new engaged In crossing the Atlantic ocean. She Is 05 feet bread and 85 feet deep, drawing nlwut 22 feet. All the legs are In the rough, but en the out eut out alde is built n shell of thick, smooth plank coming te a sharp point at the bow, with a heavy cutwater. She will have six masts, each about 70 feet high. Five of them will be fitted with heavy yards nnd rigged with square sails. 'J he mizzcn mast will be fitted with a spanker. The legs are laid together In tiers lap. ilng ever ene another, the whele resting n an ene aeus cradie built of spiles. A great chain runs through the center of the ship from one enu te another. Its links are ene and three-quarter Inches thick. Then thcre are cress chains with links four Inches long nnd thrce inches wlde. These run in all directions, and are clnmped en the outslde by cress arms of weed. The towing line will be attached te the main chain, and the transverse chains are se arranged that the draught en the main chain binds the whele mass together se that It will be next te im possible for it te go te pieces. The greater the strain en the main chain the tighter the raft will be held together. Still further precautions are taken by the use of thick wlre repe, which will be bound nbeut the legs midway between each cress chain. The ship will thus be bound togetbor by chains and Btcel wlre ut every five feet. Its weight Is estimated at 20,000 tens. The sails will be useful net only for lightening the tow, but In case the ship Is abandoned te furnish headway, In erder that she may be kept in her course It is claimed that the sails will be sufficient power te drlve the ship without any strain at nil; but considering her immensa weight tins Is very doubtful. Thcre will be a deck heuse aft for the shelter of the crew of fifteen seamen. The ship will be towed by the tug M. B. Merso. The eourse will be from the Bay of Ku tidy te Leng Island sound, and the ship Is cjtpected te nneher at Erie basin, liroeKlyn, wliore alie win lie lirelcen up nnd the legs sold. Seven days are allowed for the voyage. Thonrellt of the venture If successful. is obvious. The tlmber contained In the bhlp, If tawed en the Bay of Fundy, would require n hundred schooners or fifty trains of fifty cars each te transport it te New Yerk. The cost of the ship and attendant expenses are estlmnted as fol fel fol eows: The timbers cost in Neva Scotia l!i,000; the towage will cost $100 per day. The legs can be sold in New Yerk for $50,000. Vessel wnera nnd theso engaged with BChoencrs and ether Bmall craft are very much opposed te the schome. THE WIDOW OF PRESIDENT POLK.

Tills sudden ndvnnce In the art of dyo dye lng has been due te the general rause that has contributed m raach te civilization during the last bundled years. It has been due te the discoveries iu chemistry Through all the many centuries of history the world knew only of natural dyes, and down te the beginning of the present cen tury, or lather till past the middle of this century, it still busied itself with the dis covery of new natural agents. It had found Indigo, cochineal, logwood, madder, quercitren bark, Bumnch, Brazil weed, and ether vegetable or weed dyes, and It learned by various means te be mero or less successful, by the use of chemicals iu n process technically known ns mordant merdant ing, in making pcimancht the colors pro duced by these agents. But It had net learned te distill color from the elements. It could reach only the boundaries of au empire that was net yet tiulte wen, Finally, the chemist Unverdarben discov ered niiillue, a purely chemical agent, the distillation from coal tar. urns discovery opened the way for nn industrial revolu tion, which is perhaps even yet only in thu iiifuney of its mevement. This hap pened In 182G. But the utility of the dis covery was net known until many years later. It was net until the year 1858 that the tint known as Perkin'u purple, a pro duct of aniline, followed boeh afterward by niiiline red, or Magenta became known, Then the revolution was fairly Inaugura ted, nud since this latter date the ndvunce has been rapid. All that Is most brilliant In color is credited te this new chemical agent But the body of the art remains un changed. What are technically known ea thu weed dyes have mero substance and permanency than the anlltne dyes. Indigj Btill forms the basis for blue. The Bcnrlee en the coats of the British soldiery, war ranted net te run, Is mainly produced from cochineal; madder Is the basis for crimson red and Turkey red, and yellow is produced by fustic, quercitren bark, erits concentrated extract, called ihivliie, nnd from Avignon or Persian berries. The merdants remain nlse uuchnnircil Chief among them is the oxlde of tin, called tin spirits by the tr.ide. This fixes the scarlet colors founded upon cochineal, but alum Is used as a mordant for crimson red, nnd cherry red is produced with a tin mor dant from ammenliicnl cochineal. Turkey red is produced from madder en ai alumi nous basis Thus ran the formula In the old art of ilyclnc, and thus it runs still. Anlliue is rather a ro-enfercomeut thnnnn independent ngent.

Aulay Mac aulay, great grandfather of the distin guished historian, wrote a work en St. Kilda, lu which he speaks nt length of this strange disease Martin, who wrote nn account of the island and Its inhabi tants nearly two hundred years age, nlse refers te ft. In giving evidence befere the crofter commission, the minister of the island, who is represented as a gen tleman of great learning, enumerated the "Strangers' Celd" as among the principal nflllrtieus of the pcople, and ene for which tlicre was no relief. Dr. Samuel Jehnsen, who was much in terested in the Highlands of Scotland and the neigiiberiug islands, endeavored te dlspose of the "Strangers' Celd" by means of an argument In an essay he wrote; "Hew can thcre be n physical effect with out a physical cause'f 'The arrival of a Bhipful of strangers would kill them, for if one stranger gives them ene cold, two strangers mu3t glve thorn two colds, and be ou In proportion." The logic was ex cellent, but it (did net prevent the peer people of St. ICilda from suffering from a bovere cold for eight or ten days nftcr the arrival of evcry vessel. A writer in a recent number of Chambers' Journal de clared that the disease actually exists, nnd that It la felly te attempt te deny the fact. He slates hat thcre is a mass of evidence te establish the eccurrence of Mich n disease after the arrival of every vessel that cannot be disposed of, es pecially when there is no contradictory testimony. The same paper states that a parallel te the St. Kilda case is found in Tonga and Samen. Some affirm that influenza was unknown throughout Polynesia till whlte mvu came. It is also stated, hi regard te a small Island en the west coast of Africa, that ' it is a singular fact that any vessel touching there from St. Helena Invariably bring' with it a disease rcsembling influ enza." The same btery Is told about an island that lies cast of New Zealand. Here all lhe peeple begin te cough almost as seen as a vessel lands. The blind cough, and se de infants, though they have no knowledge of the arrival of strangers. This Influenza is net llke measles and smallpox, that ene attack bccures Immunity, as it recurs when nn nthcr vessel lauds. The publication of these statements, supported by ninny authorities, in a lead ing mngazlne has called out many expres sions of opinion. All ndmlt that It wns impossible for the inhabitants of nn island near the Seuth Pole te obtain information from thoe living en St. Kilda. Some believe that the natives of sevcral islands have killed the crews of vessels liecause they contracted the influenza from stran gers who had previously landed. Few have attempted te solve the mystery. It has la'ely been the fashion te deny nny phenomena that could net be explamcd by natural causes. The old argument of l'r .lolmsen lias been employed uy many persons te disprove the extstencoef many lliings. Still thousands nre ready te give, evidence of their constant eccurrence.
