the recent Isilt of-the aachema from the
New York State Convention cxciU.-a a
new iuteiest in itn liiatory it may not
be it in is to rcpubliah the enUblUhed
trmlitioiia concerning ita origin and ap
pellation. The Tammany Hociety mi
fouinled in 1789, an in duly witneaaed
by the Hilinient whiuh aurtuounta the
front of Taiiuunny Hall. At that time
there were many Ht. Tammany aocietie
throughout the country, and there ia no
tviiKoti to believe that the aole aurvivor
iliU't-riil from them in the original pur--10x0a
of it organization. But the
otheta died, and the New York 8ocUy
bccanio a Democratic political institu
tion. Tammany was an old Indian
chief, whom it ia by no meana eaay to
identify, but he wan beat known ia rev
olutionary tiitica as an ancient Delaware
mi hem, w ho came off ictorioua in a
teirili.r tiht with hia Satanic Majesty.
'I'he couihut waa long and obatinately
contesteil, and up to the laat moment it
waa doubtful to which aide the victory
would incline. Tammany waa A akili
ful lighter, but hia opponent waa equal
ly adroit, and after the battle bad last
ed all bummer the combatants were
somewhat tired. They played sad
havoc with the forMta, converting large
district of it into pttirie, and suck it
still remains. At length, after months
of severe lighting, the sachem threw
tho devil aiiiarely on hia back, and,
sax a tho historian, "would then and
there have taken his scalp had he not
aucreeded, owing to the victor's great
exhaustion, in extricating hitnuelf and
romping over into New York, where be
waa hoyiull7 received by the natives,
and has ever since continued to make
hia home. The same historian aavs
the Tammany Society was, primarily,
no more of a New York institution
than the grat Sagamore himself. Its
origin ia to be traced to the patriot
evolutionary army, which, having no
patron saint to fight under after the
protection of St. Ueorgu was drawn to
the enemy, cast about among the coun
try 'a native men for someone worthy
of c iiionixation, and naturally selected
the man who had "whipped the devil"
as pre eminently deserving of being set
against him who had vanquished the
dragon. The lVnnnolvatiia troo- of
Washington's command were the first
to inscribe "St. Tammany" on their
banners, ami they selected the 12lL of
May, which tradition assigned fur the
new saint's nativity, for appropriate
celebration. A wigwam was erected, a
lole, crowrtetl wilb a liberty-csp, and
Is-aring aloft a tomahawk, wampum
an. I other Indian paraphernalia, was
planted iu the earth, and around this,
after the representative f the great
Nat-hem, w ho was ierssnified by a com
rade duly accoutred and painted for the
CH-Mjiiun, had emerged from the wig
wam, to which he again retired, and
dehveied a talk full of exhortations to
loe ol" liU-rty and courage in battle,
they all danced, with feathers in their
c ijHt and bucks' tails hanging down be
hind. The practice spread throughout the
army ; Ht. Tammany and bis natal dsy
were both adopted ; forts were cbns-
ened with his name, and the 12th of
May waa regularly commemorated nn-
I, shortly before tbe lost war with
Jreat r.ntain, by order of the Secre
tary of War, (Jen. Dearborn, the festi
val was forbidden as tending to de-
aiitlu-ry among the troops. But St.
Tammany's early popularity wss not
confined to the army. Civilian Socio-
ties tearing his name sprang up in
many localities. Tbe object was si in
ly test 1 vi ty. There was a procession
of men, women and children, all decked
out with bucks' tails and other forest
adornments, to a grove, where a wig.
warn aud liberty-pole bad been erected,
and where, after nn address from St.
I'aniniany a representative, the time
was spent in games and dances on the
green. At one time it apfsmred likely
that St. Tammany's Day would excel
the Fourth of July in popular regard ;
but it lacked one enduring element of
tKipularitv its observance was not par
ticipate! in by fashionable people. The
wealthier portion of the community
turned up their noses at the vulgar pa
rade, and as a consequence the celebra
tion of the 12th of May soon died out,
aud the St. Tammany Societies disap
peared, except that of New York,
which still observes the 12th of Msy
within the order.

The town of Covington, lows, is lit
erally a doomed city. Situated on the
bend of the Mmsouii river, the banks
are being gradually eaten away,and the
ground on which the court house stood
a year ago is now covered by many feet
of fast flowing water. The 'cutting
away is done by fits and starts.
- A week ago Sunday, says the Sioux
City Journal, the current set inshore
ami took off a strip of land thirty feet
wide in a tew hours, xso invasions
were made for another week, when an
other slice was cut off. Then about
half a dozen buildings were moved back
noma thirty feet, and the next day the
land on which they had stood was all
gone. The citizens have tried to moore
trees and logs to the bank in the hope
of forming a barrier for the flood, but
the current is so swift and the water so
deep that theso attempts have failed
To trive an idea of what tho town of
Covington has suffered in the past five
years, the case of the ferry house and
principal hotel may be instanced. Two
yenrs ago there were six hundred feet
of land between the buildings and the
river bunk : now you can toss a stone
out of the hotel window into the river,
and the buildings are now being put on
rollers for removrl.

he went further, and did, in f.ct, slan
der the lady, and in snport of this
they have two witnesses. One is a far
mer, who lives four tni'.ea south of here,
hss lived here twenty-one yean, and
as known Dixon eight years. They
have often hunted together, and, off
and on, have been quite intimate. The
farmer ssys that be liked Dixon during
all these years very well, except for one
thing he was so shockingly obscene in
his langusge when he wanted to be.
They were on good terms, however, up
to tbe time of Dixon s death. The
reader must bear in mind three thing.:
That tbe farmer is a Democrat: that
hile pentonally on good terms with
Dixon, he was still politically op-ioed;
nd that, like all human being, liable
to err, he may have misunderstood
what Dixon actually did asy. The far
iiMMr is an honest ntsn; what he says is
told with such an air as to convince the
liearer of his sincerity, and lie evident-
believes that he understood Dixon
aright, whether he did or not. Chica

them a rare treat. After discussing
Prof. Izlkwumls' new theory con
cerninB tbe philosophy of wind, the
Dean brough out the new watermel
on and the smiles of his colaborers in
the educational field. lie then de
livered a brief speech on what ho
called ''caterplllary detraction,"
revealing tbe methods he. bad used
to improve the colored man's best
friend. The family butcher-knife
waa thrust to the hilt In the neck of
the green beauty.and its interior was
soon displayed to the glittering row
or whte angels that guaraea tne por
tals to each African throat. Tne rra
grant slices were passed around and
the room at once resounded with the
hearty smacking of the able jaws
commingled with little coolngs of sat
isfaction, such as babies sometimes
make when they tret what they have
been long crying for. In less than
twenty minutes most of the Faculty
were under the table lying as some
men do when the wine has been too
heady
Dr. Peteklfyl was trying to
stand on his head In the centre of the
table, and the Dean and f he Emeritus
Professor of Bentelbowism were en
gaged in yelling at the top of their
lungs. At tbe end of half an hour,
when the Janitor mustered up cour
age enough to open the door and look
in, he found the entire Faculty sium
oerinr; sweetly.
The next day, when their head
aches had worn off, the Faculty haa
assembled in the chapel and adopted
the following resolutions, offered by
Professor Steevwilyonas, Ph. D. :

Young man, save some of your

I but true, that a bottle of champagne

I of three score. It is a fact, that over
tasking the eye at 11 may necessitate
the aid of spectacles at 40 instead
80. We advise our yonag readers to
be saving of their health for their old
age, for the maxim holds good with
regard to health as to money waste
not. want not. It is the createst mis
take to suppose that any violation of
the laws of health can escape. Na
ture forgives no sin, no error. She
lets off the offender for 50 years some
times, but she catches him at last,
and isflicts the punishment just
where, just how he feels It the most.
Save health as well as money.

THE COST F TUB FALL KM Ut STSIE.
At a recent meeting of the Coni-
muuistic element in New York figures
were produced which t.how tliat tho
cost of furnishing the unempiot .j op-r-
stives at ran raver won imm w;
52,500 per week. When ren', luel
and clothing is added, the totnl will las
nearly double the above tigurea. The
strike has now lasted eleven veeka, so
that the expenditure lor ukki aioue
must have been 2i,000. It must
have cost nearly as much more for other
necessaries, making a total of not lesa
than S.tO.OOO. To this sum-must bo
added the loss of wages, so that the to
tel loss by the strike thus tar cannot
be less than 80,000 or t. o.000. If
the loss by mill owners ia taken into
consideration, the aggregate will double
the above figures. To sustain the
strike the Trades Union and commu
nistic societies have drawn upon the
wages of their members, and taken
that which should go to the support ci
their own families. When the strike is
over it will be found that nothing has
been eained. Those ' of the strikers
, ... . t
who apply first can get employment at
their old rates while those who . nAum
later will find their places tilled and
will be without work
wages will at once , b assessed to n -at ore
the relief funds of the union, iso it
appears that the strike haa molted
thus far and will end in a decide i loss
to everybody interested in the business
except a few agitators, who manage tha
miserable business and who thrive oy
it. It would seem that it is about time
that these miserable fomentersof tio i
ble should be seen in their true li';lit by
