Fitzgerald, with intent to commit a ray Maggie is abright | and Intelligent little girl about ten years | old. She testified that Thursday she was | sent to the school of the Sisters of the Sacred Heart on Virginia avenue, near 7th street, fo take @ music lesson. On leaving the building and pagsing the drug store of Mr. Boswell she askcd him for a drink of water, feeling thirsty. Mr. Boswell took her behind his counter and gave her some water; also some soda water, when he look improper | liberties with her and made indecent pro- posals and made the assault. She first pro- tested and then resisted him. She got away from a a — home and told what had happeped. James P. Dasson, clerk for Mr. Boswell, testified that he was present when the little girl came in and asked for a glass of water, ‘iven her, and she went out into the store. ‘itness was in the back room, and several otbers came in for water Imme- diately afterwards. Witness described the rasa chinnune sis Ciera ae could not see him wi irl was in the store. He testified that Mr. well had been an invalid for several ears, and as to his character it was too well Sows and established in this commuaity to need any statement from him. Cross-examined:— Witness was present from I! & m. to 4.30 p.m., all the time. There isno place in that store which cannot be seen distinctly by passers by, and he did not see the child after she got her drink of water and passed out. Thomas J. Thompson testified that he went into Mr. Bosweli’s store about 12 g’clock and tcok @ seat in the back room, and remained there some time. It was very hot, and he saw this little girl in the front store walk- ing about, and saw ber leavetogo.

He could not believe nat this little girl, who hal been co tenderly raised and so innocent, coa!d come be-ore & court and tell so straight a story If | it was not true. It was beyond bis jarisdic- tion, and must go tothe grand jury. The bonds were fixed at #1,000. gesctoentioss’ on cty Death of a Chijd from Eating Bologua Sausage. A WHOLE FAMILY MADE SICK. R brew ges, afternoon about 4o’clock five cojored children of William and Mary Jones, living on 6th street, near Howard University buildings, were suddenly taken very ill. The names of the children are Wesley, aged 30, Martha, 6, Willie, 4, Charlotte, 3, and Ed- ward, an infant. It ‘appears that Wesley, the elder, was on his way home about noon, and as hé was passing the provision store of J.L. Brown & Son, on the 7th-street road, Brown called him and gave him a number of pieces of Bo logna sausage, which he took bome and all partook freely of it, after which ell were taken sick. Even the Cog, which had eaten some of the scraps, was sick. The family were all prostrated at once, and some of the neighbors went for Dr. Glenan, who, upon bis arrival, administered an emetic, which had the desired effect upon all but Willie, who died. Martha remained quite 11] during the night, and the others ap- peared to be recovering from the effects of the sausage. Word was sent to Lieut. Noonan’s station, when that officer and his men arrested Jerome L. Brown, and his soa, Henry A. Brown, proprietors of the store, but they were subsequently released upon a | statement from Coroner Patterson that the | sickness was caused by the children over. ! loading their stomachs, resulting in cholic, | but that there was nothing wrong with the usage. Mr. Brown said he purchased the logna sausage from Mr. Pfluger, the pork butcher, and bad given it to the children as co actof charity. No blame is attacued to him. —s—_—_—.

Tae Shaw- nees left their names on the Suwanna, in Florida, and on the Savannah, in Georgia. Pamlico and the Chowan, in North Carolina, are Algonquin; all the names of East Vir- 1 Fone the = of the Sher ~ < this guage; and every Indian desigaa- ton of Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey and of Pennsylvania, are, witha few Six Nation exceptions,, near the New York !ine; all the Indian g jphical names of New England, without any exception; those of New York city and vicinity; all those of Obio, save a few of Iroquois and Wyandotte origin; some of those in Kentucky, and all of those in West Virginia; all in Indiana and iinois; many of tne names in Iowa; the most of those of Wisconsin; nearly entirely thoee of Michigan, and in part those of Min- nesota, In its eariler and northern division. In Canada, clear up to the line of the arctic seas, and tothe Esquimaux, and westward to the Rocky Mountains, the same Algon- quin race has stamped its languageon the rivers, mountains, and waterfalls of the land. Mississffpi and Massachusetts, and Connecticut, and Ohio, and Michigan, and Wisconsin, and Illinois, and Kentucky, owe to this language thelr respective state Ulles; the Alleganies belong to it; and it can claim, too, our greatest rivers—the Missis- sippi, the Ohio, the Allegheny, the Wabash, the Susquehanna, the Kenawha, the Poto mac, the Savannah, the Roanoke, the Rap- ahannock, with Connecticut, Merrimack, <ennebec, and Penobscot, and the bays of Chesapeake and Narragansett. Yet, with all this wide weaith of cognate bomenciatare, the Race Name !tsel[—Algon- quin—is not known, certainly to have been even the Indian coghomen of any one Tribe; and therefore is the letter fitted for the fam- ily name of a wide circle of Tribes, diftering in many particulars, but the unmistakably stropgly marked linguistic features of a common origin of a common root of speech. The name Algonquin first occurs in his- tory in Champlain’s narrative of about 1614, when he undertook his Quixotic expedition into the Iroquois country, along with a small army of Indians of various tribes, In whose behalf be undertook to ensure victory by letting the Troquols feel, for the first time, the effect of fre arms, which he ac- complished at the cost of @ serious wound to himself, and the undying hatred of the Five Nation Confederacy of New York to the French colony of Canada, continued for more than a century. Amongst the Indian aliles enumerated in this littie army are the ‘‘Algommequins;” which name appears subsequently shortened to “Algoquins,” and this became the French-Jesuit designation for ail the Tribes which spoke a language radically different from the Iroquois and the Hurons, which last two spoke cognate dialects totally dis- similar to all Canadian tribes. The name, as we said before, was not probably used by Champlain to underrate individuals of any particular tribe, meaning, as it does, men of the other side of the water, Dut was descrip- tively applied to Indians speaking cognate dialects, who were from beyond the St. Law- rence, and it may be from the great lakes. The name came to be, in@ generation or two afier Champlain, extended to include par- ticularly the Upper Lake Indiaas, as the Ot- taw was, the Cappeways and the Nepissings; aud in the course of long time became tne especial name of a mixed colony of mission Indians, of whom the Nepissings constituted the prine!pal portion, and hence, in the nar- row sense, these have been called “Algoa- quins” par exesliente. There is but one tribe that any Indians give a name to which at all resembles the “Algomonequin,” originally written by Champlain. It is that whieh is to this day bestowed by the Chippewas upon tue Foxes, an Algonquin tribe, now long united with lhe Senga: which ts, Otagommee or Otan- gaumee, “Other-side-the- water people.” Tae tradition of the Foxes is that they cams from the region of Montreat and the S: Lawrence; but it must have been at @ peri sd considerably anterior to Champiain’s at- vert; for the French found them located in Wisconsin aa early as 1639; though they may have left a remnaut behind them; waica may have been the small tribe of waich the French histories speak, called the “Atil- gamequez,” who lived on Lake St. Thomas, on the head waters of the main stream of tue three Known as “Trois Riviers, which empty into the St. Lawrence near Montreal. Be this as it may, the name Ajgonquin has become firmly fixea upon history as the Race-Name of the greatest body of Tribes speaking radically the same language that has existed, and now largely exists upon the American continent, and there could be no more Lay, Dar pm rmroaet for @ new territory or state of the American Union than for the Congress of the United States to adopt that of Algonquin. as pro} by Senator Bogy ‘The proposition is, we understand, tomake & new territory out of the northern half of Dakota territory, by @ line drawa east and West about lotermediate betwee# its north- ern and southern boundaries. If tnis Is done, and Algonquin is bestowed on the northern half, there will be @ peculiar fitness manifested, ethnographicai historically. The Chippeways and Crees, the most numerous of existing Algon- quin tribes, have long been in that region the antagonists of the Sioux tribes, waose — race ttle is Dakota. Thus we will ave two territories, and two eventual states, perpetuating the two greatest Indian races of the continent, lying alougside of each otber Cees ronan Hy and in all time to come emulating other in civil and in- dustrial progress, quite as eagerly as ever struggled these two great races through sav- age Warfare to annihilate each other. Ana besides, the designation Pembina, whieb is the name Senator Bogy deprecated being he erg to a fature state of the Union, is trivial, if the view of its being of [adian origin is correct, deriving it from the name of the bigh- bush cranberry; and sacrilegioas if the compound French origin of the word alluded te by the Senator is admitted. The Congress of the nation ought to be careful in the naming of states. In this re- Spect it has already committed one gross blunder. This was tp calling a land of moua- tain spurs aud ranges in the far west Wyo- ming—a@ name of interior Peunsylvania, sig- nifying in the Algonqiun Indian tongue Big Fiats, and this, too, when the euphonious aborigipal names of the tribes who own the im on nearly eal featureof the land or roam over it, were at hand to have made @ more fitting selection; for certainly in Shoshonee, Arapaho, Tetowa, or Absa- roka. (of which last named tribe,our friendly “Crows,” it is eemeer the home)—a names of as much orthographic smoothness and of better ideas could have been found, Big Flats for &@ mountain state, it must be conceded, was not a happy selection. may be that the Congress that conferred it chose it rather as descriptive of themselves than of the land they inflleted it upon. If so. notbing more need be said, except that it is not too iate yet for @ sharper Ci to correct the blunder. . Fe P. 8.—I think it donbtfal that “Algon- quips” occupied the site of W: ington.

END OF THE COOPERS’ STRIKE:. toun, July 22.— ditor Star: As is well Kaown, this city being the seat of so many flourish: ing flour mills, 1s a@iso an important center for the manufacture of barrels. Owing to the great demand for these barrels, coopers receive @ better compensation for their work than in the neighboring cities of Alexandria and Baltimore. In Baltimore, for instance, they are paid only nine cents per barre! while bere they receive twelve cents. Wi the Increased demand for ovr justly celebra- ted Georgetown flour, there has been a cor- responding increase in the demand for bar- rels. During the last year a prominent western stave dealer has made arrangements “with the largest coopering establisument here for the marufacture of over one hun- dred thousand flour barrels per annum, all Cissell & Welch, who ing extensive sepal roduce ve lately been mak- Utheir mills, and ex- mand for barrels, formed @ “union,” and de- manded more wages. Receiving 12 cents now, they demanded an increase of 5 cents per barrel, to yleld to which, considering the nig decline in wages everywhere, would ave brought ruin to the manufacturers. Consequently they stoutly refused to accede to the demand, and made arrangements to employ coopers from elsewhere. Ce the last few days the shops have been beslegei by these “foreigners,” who are anxious te ob- taln work at the old prices, being much bet. ter than they candoat home. This caused a Stampede amongst the natives, aud they soon came to the conclusion that their strike was detrimental to their own interests, not- withstanding they were at first “sanguine of success.” Yesterday many of them were begging to be allowed to go to work at any [wipe ie ae str! md a branch of indusi re gives employment to over one bundred men, and it realiy seems aston- ishing that our intelligent laboring classes will allow themselves to be led bya few maicontents into strikes, which, in’ almost every instance, prove failures and cause endless suffering amongst themselyes and families.
