How Indians Escape Their Pursuers.
During the early p.rt of the flight every prccau
tion is adopted to prevent leaving a heavy trail,
or one easily to be followed; to this end, instead
of moving, as is customary, in single file, thereby
leaving a clearly defined path, each warrior movcj
independently of his fellows, until all danger
from pursuit is s.ifcly passed, when the party falls
into single file, and, with the chief (ft the head,
moves along in unbroken silence. If during an
attack upon the frontier settlements the Indians
hould encounter unexpected an successlul revit
ancc necessitating a premature withdrawal and
flight on their part, they still resort to stratagem
in order to secure their safety. In accordance
with a plan previously formed nnd understood by
each member of the party, and specially for an
emergency, the war party finding themselves
about to encounter successful resistance on the
part of the frontiersmen beat a hasty retreat; but
instead of taking their flight in a single direction
and in one party, thereby leaving an unmistakable
clue for their pursuers, the entire party breaks up
into numerous smaller bands, each 'apparently
fleeing in an independent direction, a few of the
bet mounted usually falling behind to attract the
attention of the pursuers and give time to those of
the party who are burdened with prisoners and
captured stock to make good their escape. In
such an emergency as this, a rendezvous for the
entire party has been previously fixed upon. Its
location is usually upon or near some water
course or prominent landmark, distant perhaps
thirty or forty miles; thither all smaller parties
direct their course, each by a separate and usual
ly bv a circuitous course. Should cither of these
smaller parties find themselves pursued, or their
trull being followed and all efforts to throw the
pursuers off prove unavailing, they relinquish the
plan of uniting with the others at the established
render. v ons, as that would imperil the safety of
their comrades, and select a new route leading
neither in the direction of the rendezvous nor of
the village, in order not only to elude but to mis
lead their pursuers. Then ensues a long and tire
some flight, until, having worn out or outwitted
their pursuers, of whose movements they keep
themselves thoroughly Informed, they make their
way in nafolv to the villace. At the latter, look.
outs arc constantly kept on some prominent hill
to watch the coming of the absent warriots and
give notice of their approach. A war party re
turning from a successful raid into the settlements,
and bringing with them prisoners and captured
stock, is an cvint of the greatest importance to
every occupant of the village. Having arrived
within a few miles from the village, and feeling
safe from all danger from pursuit, the chief in
command of the war party causes a signal smoke
to k sent up from some high point along the line
of march, well knowing that watchful e)cs near
the village arc on the alert and will not fail to
observe the signal and understand its meaning.

The Holy Ghost.
Quite a curious custom prevails among the
Portuguese in some sections of this Stale in what
they term the "visit of the Holy Ghost " Hav
ing an opportunity not long since of witnessing
this interesting ceremony, we secured the services
of an obliging young l'ortugucsc as a guide, and
repaired same time after dark to the house of a
wealthy citizen ol this nationality, which was to
be honored with the heavenly visitor. Upon
nearing the house we found its immediate vicinity
tolic literally swarming withgroupsof Portuguese,
who had assembled from far and near to take part
in the worship and Icstlv'.lies of the occasion;
while from within came the weird chanting
of those conducting the service. Making our
way to the room from whence this proceeded we
found it densely packed with Portuguese of all
ages and sexes, who were devoutly kneeling and
chanting the praises of this " I loly lihost "visitor,
this personage being represented by a small
dove of pure gold, perched upon and hovering
over a crow not solid silver. 'Hie " Holy (Ihost"'
was about the size of a sparrow, ami in the position
of a bird jut alighting, w ilh its w ings j et extend
ed. The crown, of massive virgin silver, was of
full size, and fashioned after the manner of that of
the l'mperor of Prussia, Acconipaning the dove
and crown was a scepter ofalout eight or ten in
ches in length, seemingly of silver inlaid with
gold. The w hole was placed upon a richly cush
toned throne, and covered on all sides except in
fiont with a canopy of lace, and having several
wax candles burning before it. Immediately in
front knelt a priest, who chanted to a simple,
monotonous air of two lines in the Portuguese
tongue, which was then taken up and repeated by
the entire kneeling congregation, '1 his continued
for perhapsan hour, w hen the chanting ceased; the
priest arose, took the scepter and devoutly kissed
it, hi t xample lx.aiug then followed by the i ntirc
assemblage children pressing eagerly fovvard to
salute the svmlul of heavenly authority. Here
the devotions ended, and the rest of the night
was spent in music and dancing, eatingand drink
itig;.t Iwuntiful supply and hearty welcome being
extended to all by the host. I was told that this
visit of the " Holy Ghost" insured "good luck"
to every house that it entered, and hence all who
can afford it eagerly seek for this honor, the sym
Uils Iwing carried w ith great ceremony from houe

paraphernalia was imported direct from Portugal
and could not have cost less than $500, perhaps
more. J.
The Invisible Hinge.
The man who sees most of truth sees the least
necessity for greatly concerning himself alsoutthe
-statement of it. 1 le needs must say the thing; but
he is not greatly exercised in that matter, lie
has found that every rounded system soon loosens
at an invisible lunge and stretches to a mere seg
ment of the mighty circle; that truth is one; that
fierhaps any motto, true in itself, clcaily and
lonestly apprehended and lived upon, ill answ er;
that perhaps the shortest statement is Isest.
Christ wrote no book: he, the living Truth,
never told what truth was, though he gave the
world brief parables that have each a thousand
true nuamngs,
Is dear ' liberal ' friends may we not some
limes 1 too severe upon these 'narrow' people
whose preaching, whose reform, is tied to a svs
lem? ITieir little sv stem, their pet doctrine, has
a part, and therefore in a sense, the whole of the
truth; i ouroiu-iumoncu parson, ror wnom the
latest ' Institutes' of the most orthodox ' of the
latier-day theologians is a pestilent heresy, finds
something in his heart and in the hearts of his
devout hearers that no false science can give or
tale away. Is it strange that he should impute
divinity to even the husky error of a system, in
which he has found the divine kernel ? .Shall we
Jse impatient with his impatience of the science,
to-called, that puts an ignorant negation upon
w ha the knows to be vital? We may be sorry
that he is not w ider and w iscr in his reading of
Revelation, but a thous in 3 times is he wiser and
wider then the small brained and petty-souled
philosopher who denies, in one of these little
ones, the truth of the living God' Tie OU Cab

liven the most Imperious natural appetite comes
In for its share of artistic culture. We must all
eat, and if we can not say with I'euerbach that a
man is what he cats, we must allow that what he
cats has a great deal to do with making him what
he is. If he leeds upon blood, he is not likely to
be a lamb and If he lives upon milk-and-water, he
is not likely to lve a lion. What we should cat,
and how we should prepare it for our eating,
whether by the processes of nature or the art of
cookery this is not merely an alimentary but an
ivsmeiic question, ineiarm and tue kitchen,
the arts that are agricultural and thoc that are
culinary, toudi closely upon the arts tli.it are
called beautiful. The sunshine and the rain ma
son and ripen the fruits ol the vear in the ovens of
the earth, and without them where is the bloom
upon the cheek, the light in the eye, or the music
in the step and voice? The cook carries out the
hint of nature, and mttures overthe fire the trans
formation of elements into food which the sunshine
began.
We need to study this matter more thoroughly,
and give the table its true (esthetic dignity. It is
well that we have a magazine given to this nub
ject directly, and that several periodicals aic de
voted to thelavvs of health which deal witli it in
directly. The cook is a tising power in our civi
lization, and he ought to be. His mission it is,
not to pamper dainty appetites or lostuffcxactlng
stomachs, but to provide the food that is best for '
mind mid khly, and most adapted to secure the
highest health and joy of nerve and muscle,
thought, feeling and will. A good cook is a
loyal servant ot God and nature, and when God
and nature send meat, we ought not to allow the
devil to send cooks. What is worse (or khly and
soul than dyspepsia? and how much of it comes
from bad cooking! Salcratus bread, greasy pastry,
and the like American abominations of the table
have written themselves in datk lines upon the
faces and even upon the faith of thousands, and
I half. poisoned whole generations of hopeful girls
I and buys. Away with nil the miscalled food that
lies like lead upon the Momacli and like sin upon
the soull Let us have things to eat and drink
I that are nourishing, strcngthcring, and pleasant.

I A Thrilling War Scene.
J IIV JOHN I'IM.NIX. j
Out In a ceitain western fort, some time ago, I
1 the major conoivctl the Idea that artillery might
be used cfi'.etivcly in fighting with the Indians, I
by dispensing w ith gun-carriages and fastening the
cannon upon backs of mules. So he explained I
his views to the commandant, and it was deter- 1
1 mined to try the experiment. A howitzer was
selected and strapped iqon an ambulance mule,
with the muzzle pointing toward the tail. When '
they had secured the gun, nnd loaded it with a ball
I cartridge, they led that calm and steadfast mule
out on the bluff, and set up a target in the middle
of the river to practice at. The rear of the mule
was turned toward the target, and he was lucked
gently up to the edge of flic bluff. The officers
1 stood around in a semi-circle, while the major
, went up and inserted a time-fuse in the touchholc
of the howitzer. When the fuse was ready, the1
major lit it and retired. In n moment or two the
1 hitherto unruffled mule heard the fizzing back '
there on his neck, and it made him uneasy, lie
I n ached his head around to ascertain what was'
going on; and ashcdidsohisliody turned, and the ,
howitzer began to sweep around the horizon,
The mule at last become excited, and his curiosity
grew more and more intense, nnd in a second or
1 two he was standing with his four legs In a bund',
making six revolutions a minute, and the howitzei,
understand, threatening sudden death to every '
man within half a mile. The commandant was I
observed to climb suddenly up a tree; the lieuten- I
ants were seen sliding over the blutl into the river,
as if thev didn't care at all nlvout the liiiHi price
of uniforms; the adjutant made good time toward
the fort; the sergeant liegan to throw up breast-'
works with the point of his bavonet; and the ma
jor rolled over the ground and groaned. In two
or three minutes there was a pull of smoke, a dull ,
thud, and the mule Oh 1 where washe? A sol
itary jackass might have K-cn seen turning succes.
sive back somersaults over the bluff, only to rest at
anchor, finally, with his howitzer at the bottom of
of the river; while the ball went off toward tho
fort, hit the chimney in the major's quarters, rattled
the miotic bricks dow n into the parlor, and fright
ened the major's wife into convulsions. They do 1
not allude to it now, and no report of the results
1 of the experiment was ever sent to the War depart-,

, Makim; I.Kilir or a llusll 1.. A merry party
of ladies and gentlemen out sailing on the St.
Iiwrence, in a dark evening, were saved from,
I from great danger and probably death, by the '
1 presence of mind and the bustle of one of the
I )0iing ladies. A large steamer was close upon
them, and a collision seemed inevitable unless the !
steamer could lc signalled to change her course,
which it was impossible for the sailing craft 10 do.
1 '1 he party were in a terrible dilemma, as, except I
a few matches, there seemed to le 110 means at
hand to pioducc a light. The voung ladies, t
except one, screamed w ith terror, and a fearful
catastrophe seemed on the point of consummation.
1 A slight rustling, however, was observed in the
direction of the silent young lady. No one could
see what she was doing, but she soon handed a
1 roll of paper to one of the gentlemen. In n 1
1 moment in was ablaze, the steanicr' course chang- I
ed and the parly were saved.
When they recovered from their fright, there 1
was naturally much speculation as to where that
imvortant roll of paper came from; and it finally 1
leaked out that the fair one had heroically sacn-
ficed her bustle to secure the safety of her com 1
patuons.
Tilt: Saturday A'rt'iett' has an ingenious article
, on "Chivalry ," ofwhich the following paragraph
is the key-note: " l lie truth is, mat cuivairy, so
far as it is a virtue, is the virtue of a class. 1 hat
1 is to say, it is no real virtuit at all. It may some
I times lead men to do actions which are in them
helves morally right; but it does not lead men to
do them because they are morally right The
oldicr who does his ordinary duty lccause it is
his duty the hero who does his extraordinary
duty liecause, under his special circumstances. 1:
is his duty are loth acting according to the rules
1 of sound morality. Hut the chivalrous man who
does something for his honor, or for the love of
his lady, is not acting according to any moral
rule at all. He acts according to the standard of
a particular class, to win the esteem of that par
ticular class, lleyond that class we can hardly
conceive chivalry listing. A clown may lie a
hero; but we cannot fancy a chivalrous clown
1 So far as the clown Incomes chivalrous, so fir he
I ceases to be a clown. We come round again to
the point from which we started; chivalry is
sometimes which does not belong to men in gen
I ral as moral agents, but only to one class of men,
to the class who anciently served in battle 011
horseback,"
The J'all Mall Gazette thinks it is. time for us
1 to improve on our present method of putting crim
inals out of the world: "The most memorable
death scene known to secular history had for its
theater the prison of the Athenian commonwealth.
and the most touching incident in that drama 1
, the bringing in of the cup of hemlock by the w et-p
ng cxecutiuncr. So much of modern civilization
runs up to the ancient Athenian civilization
that there is something remarkable in finding l'.n
glishmen and Henchmen executing criminals b)
the rope and the guillotine, and remembering that
the Athenians executed theirs with a vegetable
1 poison. The difference is the more curious because,
1 among the many scientific discoveries w hlch con
stitute the real title ol the modern world to take
a precedence over the ancient which otherwise
could not lie unhesitatingly conceded to It, there are
few more striking then discoveries in toxicology.
If a chemist of the pres nt day were aed for the
means of putting a man out of the world without
pant on this side of death, his only dilllcultv
would arise out of the abundance of his resources,1'
