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.

Dr. II. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
Dear Sir Your Golden Medical Dis

" I have used Dr. Wistar's Balsam of
. Wild Cherry myself and in my family for
, several years, and take great pleasure in
recommending it in preference to anything
of the kind for the purposes for which it is
intended. In cases of Asthma, Phthisic,
or affection of the throat, I have never met
with anything equal to it." 50 cents and
