THE T1MKS, NEW llLOOM FIELD, 1A., Al'ML 0, 1878. A Strange Tradition. Among the Seminole Indiana there in ft singular tradition the white man'a origin and suiioiloiity. The; aay where tlife Great Hplrlt made the earth he also made three men, all of whom wore falr-complexlonod, and that after making them he led them to the margin of a amatl lake, and bade them leap in and wash. One obeyed, and name out purer and fairer than before ; the necond hesitated a moment, during which time the water, agitated by the first, had become muddled, and when be bathed, he came up copper-colored j the third did not leap until the water became blaok with mud, and be came out with bis own color. Then the Great Spirit laid before them three packages, and out of pity for his mis fortunes in color, gave the black man the first choice. He took hold of each of the packages, and having felt the weight chose the heaviest; the copper colored mau chose the next heaviest, having the white man the lightest. When the packages were opened the first was found to contain spades, hoes, and all the implenieuts of labor ; the second uuwrappod, bunting, fishing, aud warlike appartus ; the third gave the white man pens, inks, and paper, the engine of the miud the means of mutual, mental improvements, the social link of humanity, the foundation of the white man's superiority. Chawing a Man's Hand for a Ten Dollar Bill. A daring robbery was committed on Sat urday night iu Roosevelt street, New York. As Walter Cody was passing through the lower hallway of the house No. 18 Roose velt street, on bis way to the street, he was attacked by five young men, who surround ed bim and threw bim on the floor. Cody, with great presence of mind, took his mon ey out of his pocket aud held it in his hand One of tho ruffians held hla band over Cody's mouth so that he could not cry for help. The others then searched bis pockets and became very indignant when they found nothing worth taking. One of them suggested that perhaps Cody had some rings on his fingers, and then it was discov ered where be had bidden bis money, but they found it impossible to make bim open Ids band. " Let's cut his throat," cried one of the men. " No," interrupted another, "let's bito bis hand until he opens It." His SMggestion met with approval, and the robbers gnawed Cody's baud iu turn until, conquered by the pain, be opeued it and let the $10 for which he had fought so pluckily, fall on the floor. The money was quickly seized by one of the party, aud then all ran away. As soon as he was re leased Cody jumped up and called "police." In answer to bis cries an offioer came, and searching the building, found John Walsh, who was identified by Cody as one of his assailants. Justice Murray held Walsh for trial. The Phonograph. The witty man of tho New York Times has explained, iu his usual felicitous man ner, the remarkable advantages we shall all reap from the phonograph an instrument by which, it is claimed, the tones of the human voice can be preserved and repro duced hundreds of years hence. Accord ing to the Times editor, all our great men at least their voices and words will under go a process of " bottling," and " in the years to be" the Americau host will treat bis guest to a bottle of Talmage or Anna Dickinson, just as he now treats them to Heidsick or Mumm'a Extra Dry. If Dr. Pierce could bave all the encomiums that have been bestowed upon his Golden Medi cal Discovery aud Pleasant Purgative Pellets, as remedies for indigestion, con stipatiou, torpid liver, or "biliousness," thus "bottled" and preserved, it would bo the most famous bottle In the world.
