An Indian Romance.
IN THE old times when Cleveland
was very young, the settlers along
the lake shore had much more commu
nication with the Aborigines than the
whites. Long rows of canoes, Instead
of steamers were wont to He along the
shore where the Union Depot now
stands and the railroad runs, and the
trafllo was In blankets, beads, venison
and furs, Instead of wheat, Iron, coal
and petroleum. There were winding
paths instead of streets, and wigwams
and log cabins were the business blocks
and dwellings. Natural forests were the
parkB, and while there were no grand
waterworks, Cuyahoga was unconta
mlnated by vile sewage.
One bright afternoon In the autumn
of A. D., 18 , there came Into the vil
lage a neat appearing squaw, apparently
23 years of age, with a lithe, half-breed
boy of 10, who either walked beside her
or capered on before. The little settle
ment was unusually active upon that
day, and the October sun-light rested
upon a scene of surpassing beauty. The
lake and the landscape were Bllver and
gold, and the skies were blue an amber,
and the Indians were gay In their holi
day attire of feathers aud bright blank
ets. .
The face of the young Indian woman
bore an expression of sad anxiety, that
was quite in contrast with the bright
ness around her. She did not mingle
with the crowds of Indians, but sat
down near the entrance to the principal
trading house, and while surveying the
motley scene, talking kindly and sober
ly with those who spoke to her.
There was something In the appear
ance and demeanor of the Indians which
showed that they regarded this as an
important day. Their gay attire, the al
most complete absence of weapons
among them, their comparative silence
towards the whites, their freedom . and
sportiveness among themselves, all
went to teach the experienced observer
of Indian character that they were mov
ed by some uncommon though undis
closed purpose.
After her arrival had ceased to attract
attention the young squaw passed quiet
ly into the store, the boy remaining out
side playing with his red companions.
As soon as she could do so unobserved,
she strolled, as if unadvertently, to the
rear of the store, where, in partial con
cealment, she caught the trader's eye.
He knew from her glance that her sig
nal must be heeded. As he contrived
to come close to her sho communicated
to him the plot of the Indians.
" They will all pretend to go home to
night ; but they will not go home.
They will come back in the night.
They want your goods. If you will
give them up, they will not kill you, if
you fight, they will kill you. I shall be
with you."
Having said this, she sauntered slow,
ly out, with a sadder face than before,
and resumed her former scat. Soon the
boy came near her and she whispered
something to him secretly. He went
into the store, where a number of squaws
were pretending to trade, and stood, as
if by mere chance, where she' who sent
him had stood. The trader, still busy,
came close to him and whispered the
names of certain white men of the vil
lage. The boy soon strolled out to his
play again, but somehow sport seemed
to take him near and into the shops of
the men whom the trader had mention
ed. He would give the chief trader's
name secretely with an intimation of
danger, and then go storming on with
his playing. His momentous little task
was soon accomplished, and the shouts
of himself and his fellows were soon
echoing again in front of the store of
the chief trader.
The sunbeams were nearly as level as
the lake, when the Indian womau beck
oning to her happy protege, began to
loiter toward the trail by which she
came ; one heart bow light, and the
other, oh, how heavy I They kept their
way until well out of sight, then left it
and took a circuitous course, stopping
finally at a wigwam upon the shore
about one mile eastward from the vil
lage. John Morton was the foremost trader
in the village, intelligent, trustworthy,
and a leader among hla fellow settlers ;
so that when a warning of danger with
the sanction of his name went round to
a certain truBty few, there was a certain
ty of prompt and effectual response.
At sundown the Indians began to de
part, and by dusk not one remained in
the .village. As soon as darkness had
settled, the few who had been warned
assembled in Morton's store for consul
tation. It was not many minutes be
fore a rap was heard, which Morton
readily recognized as that of the woman
of whom we have spoken. By her de
votion and fidelity she had saved him
from many dangers and many losses.
She was admitted and begun at once to
reveal the Indians plan iu detail. It
was not thelrintentlon to make a gener
al attack ; their designs were only upon
Morton's store. They expected to find
him sleeping It) the little apartment off
the main room, terrify him Into ac
quiescence, ransack the establishment
and carry of such booty as suited them.
Should he resist, they would kill htm,
If necessary to the accomplishment of
their purpose.
Word wiih Int-tuully sent to such as
could be trusted in an emergency, and
within an hour some 25 men who knew
the use of gunpowder, Were assembled
at Morton's, all fully armed, and with
Morton's stock of ammunition to back
them. They decided to take their stand
outside the building, and post, sentinels
In every direction 40 rods away. The
womau was to retire to a safe distance
and remain secreted. Morton com
manded. All being in readiness, they had not long
to wait. Within an hour a sentinel
came in with the tidings that a party,
some twenty to thirty as nearly as he
could Judge in the starlight, were ap
proaching. By a preconcerted signal
the other seutinels were called in, and
the men deployed in such manner as to
give an impression of the largest possi
ble numbers when a simultaneous fire
should be delivered.
It appeared that the savages, thinking
it au easy matter to rob a single man,
had not come in force, but had detailed
a few braves for the purpose. On they
came, with their stealthy tread, until
their forms began to be dimly outlined.
As they came within easy range, Mor
ton estimated their number to be not
more than twenty. When all was ripe,
Morton gave the word to fire. As the
twenty-five riiles scattered In a long
line, blazed out upon them, they seemed
to think that an army of a thousand
men had opened fire. With one united
horrible yell, they fled to the woods, and
no trader of that village was ever there
after molested by them. The men had
purposely aimed high, as they desired
rather to frighted than to Injure those
with whom they were not at all anxious
to inaugurate a bloody feud. As a con
sequence no blood was Bhed and no seri
ous ill-feeling engendered.
The Indian woman who had proved
so faithful a friend, was provided with a
home in the village. She was given a
rudimentary English education, adopted
the dress and civilization, and subse
quently married Morton, who was In
fact the father of the little fellow who
had followed his mother to the village
on that eventful day. Some of her de
scendants Btill reside in Cleveland ; oth
ers are scattered elsewhere".
An Eccentric Parson's Will.
We have already alluded to the re
markable funeral of the Rev. Wni. N.
Parry, of Worcester, Mass. His will Is
one of the oddest things ever probated.
He forbids any announcement of his
death in any newspaper. He directs
that after death his body shall be placed
in a box of unplaned boards, dressed lu
his poorest clothing, stockings, drawers
and shirt, and no other garments, and
shall be immediately nailed up, that no
one be allowed to look upon him at his
funeral ; that there be no flowers, no
minister, no public notice of the funeral
and no other religious service than the
reading by some member of his church
of Psalm xxil and xe., and the singing
of his favorite hymn, " Lead kindly
light," and that no strangers be allowed
to tend his funeral. He then provides
" that after the above excerclses I be tak
en in an express wagon, or any other
cheap conveyance, to be interred in any
lot, or place or parcel of ground that
any member of my church will, for the
love of Ood, give me. I am not asham
ed to ask this, for my Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ had to be put under similar
obligation and to be favored with a like
disposition after bis death ; that no head
stone,floral wreath or other sign be used
to mark the place of my burial, as my
God and Lord needs no such reminder
of the place where my dust reposes."
He then says that his wife shall not at
tend bis funeral, and gives his directions
for the settlement of a mortgage. One
ot his requests was that no newspaper
allude to his death. If the other pro
visions of bis will have been as thor
oughly disregarded as this one, the doc
ument may be set down as a complete
failure. No man's death has had more

Leadvllle
Never In the history of a country, hn
a mining camp met with such wonder
ful success, such world-wide fume, ond
withal such promise of permanency as
hns been the good fortune of Leadvllle,
appropriately called the City In clouds.
Leadvllle has become a centre for the
miners, where they can obtain all the
material necessary to push their busi
ness, nnd prnvislnns for their own sus
tenance. Men of means have become
largely Interested In Hie mining opera
tions conducted In the surrounding
mountains, and to-day there Is probably
more capital Invested on the carbonate
fields of Leadvllle, than in any other
one interest in the world. I shall not
attempt to give a description of all of
the mines about Leadvllle, but will give
a brief description of a few of the most
productive ones.
The Morning Star, consists of two
clalnis-The Morning Star and Water
loo, located on Carbonate hill, but a
Bhort distance from the limits of the
city. This mine was discovered on the
Hth of June, 1M77, and the shipment of
ore was begun In March, 1878. During
that year ore to the amount of $7,447.70
was shipped to the Bmelters. For the
year 1879, 7,1821 tons of ore have been
shipped, for .which has been received
the sum of $200,491.20. The Carbonate
and Shamrock are the property of the
Leadvllle Mining Company ,a New York
stock company with a capital of two
millions of dollars. The company is
mining about fifty tons of ore dally and
is declaring dividends every month of
twenty thousand dollars. Geo. Deniker
a resident, formally of Blaln, Perry Co.,
ra., is foreman of the mines, anil the
property has been placed in fine shape
for working. Little Giant Mine is
booming up and promises to be one of
the best mines lu the camp. The ore Is
of high grade. A dividend for last
month's earnings was declared to the
owners, net, of $10,818.81. The Iron
Mine on Iron Hill has been one of the
largest producers about Leadvllle. For
the pa9t year the daily product has been
fifty tons per day. The Little Pittsburg,
the first large stock company to be or
ganized in the east on Lead vi lie property
was the Little Pittsburg, New Dlscov
ery, and Winnemuc Mines, on Fryef
Hill. The organization was affected
with a capital stock of twenty millions
of dollars and regularly ever since the
organization of the company, monthly
dividends of one hundred thousand dol
lars have been declared, and one month
an additional fifty thousand was paid In
a dividend. Since the organization, of
the company which took place about
nine mouths ago, the amount of ore
mined has been 80,831 tons and 1,113
pounds which has been sold to the
smelters for the sum of $1,778,507.21.
The present daily nut-put varies from
one hundred and fifty-five to one hun
dred and sixty tons per day, a fair aver
age being one hundred and forty tons.
The Little Chief, the total value of the
ore produced last year was $1,487,000.
The Breece Iron Mine, on the west
side of Breece hill Is at present . worked
for the iron to be used as a llux at ine
smelters. The production Is about one
hundred tons per day. '
The llobert E. Lee, although produc
ing ore but a little over three mouths of
the past year, the Robert E. Lee Mine
produced ever half a million of dollars.
The richest ore ever taken out In the
camp came from this property, some lots
selling as high as ten thousand dollars
per ton, and two car loads in one lot sold
for $47,000, and in one single day there
was ore taken out that was worth $118,
6U0. There are actually hundreds of
mines and prospect holes In this vicin
ity that have not yet reached mineral,
and still from indications and location
are very valuable and bring high fig
ures. No doubt a large proportion of
these will be shipping ore within the
next year.
There has been little destitution here.
Willing men can easily find employ
ment. Miners get 3 to 4 dollars per day;
carpenters, masons and blacksmiths
from 4 to 5 ; wood choppers, 3 dollars ;
laborers, 2.50 to 8 ; barkeepers, 25 dol
lars per week; waiters, 10 to 13 with
board : clerks in stores and banks 60 to
200 dollars per month , female domestics
80 to 80. Prices, &c Washing, 1.50 to
$2 per dozen ; furnished single room, 5 to
10 dollars per week ; board, 0 to 12 dol
lars. Flour, Colorado, 6.25 to 7 dollars
per owt.; hay CO to 75 dollars per ton ;
oats, 6 to 7 dollars per ewt ; corn, 8.50 to
8.75 dollars per cwt. Meat bam, 1.64,
Bacon, 1.34; onions, .04; cabbage, 1.24 ;
potatoes, .70 to .85 ; butter, .60 to .00 ;
eggs, .50 to .60 per pound.
Those wishing to come to Leadvllle,
bad better bring blankets, plenty of
warm underwear, overcoats, thick, sub.
stantial clothing, and strong boots. No
weapons, they are not fashionable here.
Plug bats are regarded as a curiosity,
and flannel shirts are the rule. Not
withstanding the wickedness tbat is
carried on in this city, there are God
fearing, wholly civilized, intelligent,
cultivated and moral people here. It
may be known by the number of church
es in the city, and the large congrega
tions that assemble therein. There are
eastern cities larger than Leadvllle tha
can not boast better churches or a greater
number of religious societies, or better
preaches than can Leadvllle, the city of
two years growth. To-day the people
may listen to sermons on numerous
topics from ministers of every creed and
denomination. And it is not only Sun
days that Leadvilleians worship the
Lord; every night for six weeks the
church bells have been beard and large
numbers of "the lovers of the Lord,"
have assembled to attend the services.

HEADING.
WHAT IT DOES.
COL. Bob Ingersoll was lately employ
ed in a case which involved lh
manufacture of ardent spirits, and til
his speech to the Jury
lowing language:
" I am aware there
dineagnlnst any man
he used the foi
ls a great prejti
rngnged In tli"
manufacture of alcohol.
I believe from
the time It Issues from
the colled and
poisonous worm In the distillery until It
empties Into the hell of death, dishonor
aud crime, that It Is demoralizing to
everybody that touches It, from the
source to where It ends. I do not be
lieve that anybody cau comprehend the
subject without being prejudice against
the crime. All we have to do Is think
of the wrecks on either side of the
stream of death, of suicides, of the In
sanity, of the poverty, of the instruc
tion, of the little children tugging at the
breast of weeping and despairing wives
asking for bread, of the men of genlu
It has wrecked, of the struggling with -imaginary
serpents produced by this
devilish thing ; and when you think of
the jails, of the almshouses, of the asy
lums, of the prisons and the scaffolds
on either side, I do not wonder that
every thoughtful man is prejudiced
against this vile stuff called alcohol.
Intemperance cuts down youth in its
vigor, manhood in Its strength, and age
In Its weakness.
"It breakes the father's . heart, be
reaves the doting mother, extinguishes
the natural affection, erases conjugal
love, blots out filial attachment, and
blights parental hope, and brings pre
mature age in sorrow to the grave. It
produces weakness, not strength ; sick
ness, not health; death, not life. It
makes wives widows, children orphans,
father fiends, aud all paupers. It feeds
rheumatism, nurses gout, welcomes epi
demics, embraces consumption, Invites-
cholera, Imports pestilence, covers tbet
land with misery, idleness and crime.j
It engenders controversies, fosters quar-l
rels, cheilshes riots. It crowds your'
penitentiaries, and furnishes victims to
the scaffolds. It Is the blood of the
gambler, the element of the burglar, the
prop of the highwayman, and the sup
port of the midnight incendiary. It
countenances the liar, respects the thief,
esteems the blasphemer. It violates
obligations, reverences fraud, hates love,
scorns Innocence and virtue.
"It Incites the father to butcher the
helpless offspring, and the children to
grind the parlcldal axe. It burns up
mew, consumes women, detests life,
curses God and despises heaven. It
suborns witness, nurses perfidy, defiles
the jury box, and stains the Judicial
ermine. It bribes voters, disqualifies
votes, corrupts elections, and endanger
the government. It degrades the citl
aen, debases the legislature, dishonors
the statesman, and disarms the patriot.
" It brings Bhame, not honor ; terror,
not safety: despair, not hope; misery,
not happiness ; and with the malevo
lence of a flend calmly surveys Its
frightful desolation, and stained with
havoo, It wipes out national honor, then
curses the world and laughs at its ruin.
It does more it murders the soul. It
is the sum of all villainies ; the father
of all crimes, the mother of all abomi
nation, the devil's best friend and God's
worst enemy." .
Let Your Light 8a Shine.
A traveler once visiting the light
bouse at Calais, said to the keeper: " But
what if one of the lights should go out
at night V" " Never t Impossible!" he
cried. "Sir. yonder are shins saillne to
all parts of the world. If to-night oneV
of my burners were out, in six months
I should hear from America, or India,
saying that on such night the lights
at Calais lighthouse gave no warning,
and some vessel bad beeu wrecked. Ab,
sir I sometimes I feel, when Hook upon
my lights, as if the eyes of the whole
world were fixed upou me. Go out I
burn dim I Never! impossible 1
With bow much dignity can enthusi
asm invests the humblest occupation l
Yet, what a lesson to the Chrlstain! It
is no romance which makes the Chris
tian a spiritual lighthouse for the whole
world, with the eyes of the whole wotld
upon bim. Let then bis light be full
and bright and clear. The moment be
neglects it, and leaves his lamps on
trimmed, some poor soul, struggling
amid the waves of temptation, for lack
of it, may be dashed upon the rocks of
destruction.

old proverb, but where will you find the
dogs that will touch it ' A dandy is an
individual whose utefuluess in thU
world depends entirely upon' the fit of
bis clothes. Tricks upon travellers are
always dangerous experiments: I have
Known a ueau nornet to wake up nu.l-
den, and sting Just once more. Famil
iarity is a dangerous experiment; the
most familiar tiling in the whole vorl.l
is a puppy, aua ttie oltenest stepped on.
This U my plan : To believe nil thiniri
that. I hear, but to put my faith aud
money in nut few.
