Trath Somewhat Adorned. Iy (Copyright, 1889, by Edgar W, Nye,) 3 Visiting Ohio recently, and especially Pequa, the birth place of a Pawnee chief prophet, I have concluded to r # wvive some of the memories and old war reminisconces of the old battle of Tippecanoe, calling to my aid the re- tentive memory of the historian and my own febrile imagination. Historical facts are of themselves like the wire foundation of a beautiful bonnet— P naked, they are destitute of beauty, ] but decorate them with the gorgeous word painting of a heaven born genius i and thoy become the beautiful EASTER BONNETS OF LITERATURE. Fortunately for me, at the time of my visit, | came across a little volume issued during the present year by Mr. Reed Beard, a young man twenty-seven b years of age, who is totally blind. Tt is [ called the ‘‘Battle of Tippecanoe,” and as I felt that I had certainly seen as much of the battle as he had, I began eritically. to read his work, and if I found that his view of the engagement agreed with mine, I thought I would give the book areading notice in our paper. Aside from the very trifling ervor, perhaps, on page 15, where M. Boeard refers to the Chippewas as the tribe of Indians utilized by Mr. Long- fellow, whereas it was the Dacotahs or Bioux used in Hiawatha, I have b found no historical holes in his b mnarrative, and, with great pleas- ure, I allude to the book as one of whizh a man with two good eyes and a pair of pebble glasses might well be proud, and a blind man even more so0. It was in 1811 that the firm of Prophet & Brother went into the general slaughter and rapine business, hoping, by close attention to one and all, to gmerit the public patronage and give geueral satisfaction. Prophet and his brother, Tecumseh, were descendents m Georgia stock pnd thoroughly well - ‘bred, neither they nor their ancestors haviog done a lick of work for cen- uries. Like all well bred people who annot bear the odor of honest perspi- pation, they began early to give their Bttention to crime. Satan, who aims to pupply little jobs of suicide, homicide And germicide for idle hands to do, and 4 zvhn has maintained his reputation all he way down from Eve to Ward Mc- Alister, read the sign of Prophet & Eralhcr, and made arrangements with hem to handle Ohio, Indiana and Illi- ois in his interests. Prophet was called by his tribe Lahn- wasikaw, or Loud Voice. He was the puthor of a new religion among his peo- le. He believed in prohibitious piety - and indolence. His iden was that sanc- 'yQity could be so cultivated and fostered 'ehat it would take the place of industry. 1 He allowed that the Lord would pro- ide, HO united what may be called E}m High Church and Horse Chestnut chools of Theology, viz: He combined fhe unimpassioned and - geometrical tyle of ;religion with the deep, abiding B - th which enables a low browed horse b estnut to make a stubborn case of eumatism go right away from there. Prophet had been nicknamed Loud ‘3 Woice because of his ability to test the ncoustic propertics of Ohio. He could ] ddress an open air meeting ns far as 3 he eye conld reach. .He was also inclined to be a little bit grbitrary, and when anybody found fault with him, or doubfed his state- ] ents, he generally noticed right away hat something was the matter with his ongevity. A great many people saved their lives by being 4. BN RAPPORT WITH THE PROPHET. " 'The brothers, or Messrs. Prophetand Ecmlmse‘n‘ were opposed by a chief amed Black Hoof. He did not proph- cy at all, but called to his a1d what has &sun referred to by Plutarch as horse pense. By this means he saw at once lthm. it was a mistake for the Indian to 0 to war with the white man, and es- eeinlly without the endorsement of press. Black Hoof lived to be 110 ears old, and would have lived much longor, no doubt, had he not changed is heavy underwear in. March for a ighter suit which he found on a clothes | Jino one evening on the banksof the "~ 'Auglaize river in Ohjo. They were ot quite dry. * il In 1807 the Prophet and Tecumseh E thered several hundred of their fol- 5 owers togethier and in obedience to b ‘i command from the Great Spirit, lo- ted on some land which they had ded to the white people in 1795, The 3 E«mlc of Ohio and Indiana could not r ook this. It was at this time that the hio men and the Indiana men went Washington- to protect their inter- av.:. @ habit which they have rever n able to entirely overcome. Tecumseh was more of an orator than is brother, but not so good an organ- Jzer. Moreover, his brother could § BEAT HIM 'O DEATH PROPHESYING, ! Tocumsoh was the original Tall Syca- more of the Wabash. He spoke with gmn fluency, and when a big tripe or hitterling ‘banquet was given by his ople, he would always io and pay for is moal by means of o few douu{wry pemarks. 0 / Tecumseh had a kind of Lawrence _ . Barrett style of declamation, which en- .mured him to all hearts, and caused A m to hold himself in the very highest . psteem. Elevating his voice and the aprice of ndmission to their full height, e would declaim in stentorian tones hich made one forget all his other mocs. Ile spoke without notes, and eould think of a great many things which did not actually exist, "~ Putting 4 is thumb to his girdle and rookin, b k on his pastern joints, he woul 3 fook ut the proscenium box on the mht sud Jooking L. U. L., like a man o o gots but a dollar a day to work on he boulevard, he woul talk like arco Bozzaris when he nwoke to die idst flame and smoke, or wole to hear wentry’s shrick, *“I'o arms! Toarms! 0 Greek! The Greek!” b Tecumseh, therefore, was the first to ftroduce what may be culled the - rry Breannigan style of acting, in 5 hich pathos 18 marked by puiling ut the tremulo of the vox humana to 3 ts fullextent while extdems anger is K lsnswd by means of a low, guttural Bnd stertorous breathing, punctuated th short, impatient snorts like those { o (at man eating imaginery spaghetti n his sliumbers. With these two brothers thus united i ey bocume a yreat power. ‘The vophet easily appealed to the lazy rd licentious, while Tecumseh F ,.m\ was left, viz., tho literary and dramatic element of the Shawnee tribe. While the Prophet was gaid to have been the abler orator of the two, he never spoke in council while Tecumseh was present. The idea of acting ns a broker between the Indians and the Great Spirit first occurred to Tecumseh and was acted upon by the Prophet, who translated liberally the REMARKS OF TITE GREAT SPIRIT to the red man, so as to do well out of it himself. The prophet went to see Governor Harrison in 1808, at which time he said, among other things: ‘‘Father, I was told you intended to hang me. I was also told, my father, that you wanted to know whether | was a god or man, and if I was the former, you thought [ ought not to steal horses. Is this true?” ““Yes,” said the governor. “Isaid that as a god you could not ' expect to hold vour positian so long as you stole horses. That is all i said about that.” “Then I heard also that you said we must not drink whisky. Is that so, my father?” “Well, T said that I thought the red brother of the Ban Baw forest and the Jimson Woeed jungle should not drink whisky so long us there was so much suffering among the white men, and also that as a representative of the Great Spirit, it weakened your influ- ence with the people and made your prophesies read rather raw in the papers when you got drunk. That was what I said.” The governor and Prophot soon came to an understanding, but Prophet was at heart a free trader and loved King George. This went on till 1810, when the governor sent a letter to Prophet at Tippecanoe, giving him further assur- ances of the g will of the Unitea States if he would quit getting drunk and prophesying at A\e same time. He said that after the fatigue of editing a prophecy he did not think it would be wrong ?or him to take a nip quietly, especinlly a8 he was a prohibitionist, but he did not think it right for him to try and combine prophecy and in- ebriety, ‘“for,” said Governor Harrison, very truly and succinctly, *“if all of us were to put down as revelation all the {)cculinr things we see while druunk our iterature would certainly suffer.” Shortly afterwards Tecumseh was told hy the governor that he desired to see him., Tecumsch then packed a small medicine bag made of the skin of a chipmunk with a change of clothing in case he should be gone a long time, and called on Governor Harrison, during which time Tecumseh made several ringing speeches. They showea great thought,and were uttered in a ‘‘Fourth Reader” style that sounded something like “The Aged Indian’s Lament,” and some like ‘“The Burial of Sir John Moore.” In the course of his remarks, according to one of the his- torians, he took occasion to say: “Father, we have been led to suppose that you wished to land on our shores, eat your luncheon, catch a few pickerel and then go away. But you’ve come far o’er the sea, but you’ve went not back, I see. You have caught our largest and most_fragranv muskrats. You have bored holes in our bee trees. You have bathed in our rivers and especially in Ohio river. Last fall a white man killed one of our warriors, who 1s a somnam- bulist and pessimist, shot him with buck shot while exercising one of your horses, and then left him there till his friends hesitated about going near him. *‘Is that any way for brothers to treat each other? “I know that our old chief sold to you a portion of the United States in 1795, but his wife did not sign the deed, and if so, it was before she was taken apart as required by the law. ‘*How can we have confidence in the white people? When Jesus Christ came on earth you killed him and nailed him to the cross. You admit it yourself. The white people want the earth, and they may get it, but in the happy hunt- infiz grounds you will be able to detect only a slight flavor of white man, and you will notice that in the soup.” This graphic description of the battle of Tippecanoe will be continued next week. BILL NYE. ——— THE CUBAN FIRE-FLY. Reading and Making a Photograph by Its Light. A most interesting experiment has re- cently been made in taking a photo- graph by the light of the Cuban fire-fly, says the Scientific American. The specios of this insect belonging to the nited States is well known, ‘but its light producing powers are very fecble compared with those of its relatives,the lantern-flies, or cucupos, of Cuba, Brazil and Mexico. It is sald that persons traveling by night in the tropical for- est are accustomed to place these fire beetles on their boats to light the way, and that Cuban ladies mount the cu- cuyos as gems for their hair and cloth- ing. A living specimen of these tropi- cal insocts was recently presented tothe Bridgeport Scientific society. It is about an inch and a half long, and bears upon each side of its body oval spots, re- sembling eyes. In the dark these spots emit a greenish light, resembling that of tiny electric lampsin full glow. If the cucuyo is placed on a watch dial its light will enable one to tell the time of night, and it also clearly illuminates a small printed page. It radiance seems to be in a measure under the control of the will, for when a gas jet is rapidly turned on and off the insect, whether from rvivalry or some other motive, is sure to do his best. After various trials of the insect’s power, the experiment of photographing by its light was suc- cessfully carried out. A copy of a fam- ily portrait was made, the insect being held within an inch of the original, and in such a way that the rays fell perpen- dicularly on the negative. The time of exposure to bug light was about thirty seconds. -~ Pimples, blotches, scaly skin, ugl spots, sorcs and ulcers, abscesses an tumors, unhealthy discharges, such as catarrh, eczema, ringworm, and other forms of skin diseases are symptoms of blood impurity.

The Savage War Dance and the Hor« rible Rites of the Muti—Thoy Objected to Being, Sacrificed. The Zulu War Dance. PRETORIA, South Africa, March 2.— [Special Correspondence of THE BEE. J— The war dance is a great institution among all the South African tribes. Before engaging in a battlo it is a sine qua non. Indeed, most savage tribes in any part of the world have a war dance; but, as a rule, this dance is simply a scéne of wild disorder, each warrior shouting, yelling and brandishing his weapons Without any aim at discipline. With the Zunlus it is a very different affair, they being guided by a discipline and precision of difll equal to that found in a regular army of civilized sol- diers. Before assembling for the dance they paint their faces a scarlet or rea color, put on all their ornaments and carry their arms as if going into battle. Being assembled, they form in limes, all the while contorting their features in a horrible manner and working them- selves up to a TREMENDOUS PITCH OF EXCITEMENT. They commence by stamping their feet in perfect time with each other. Then the war song is raised and the drum sounded. The vigor of the stamping continually increases in proportion to the excitement. With a yell the vhole body of men loap into the air simultane- ously, as if actuated by a shock of elec- tricity, the war song is chanted louder and louder and in accordance with its rhythm they leap from side to side, coming down to the earth like a huge battering ram. Utterly lost in excitement they continue the dance, their faces frightfully contorted and of an_ absoluteiy demonincal expression until the chief gives the order to dis- band. ‘When under the influence of the war dance they are quite devoid of fear and will rush to the cannon’s mouth, those behind clambering over the fallen and dead in front. It may be imagined that, when Cetewayo had 80,000 of these warriors assembled at Fort Weber it was no child’s play for the small British force of 800 men to contend with them. The Zulus fought like demons, while the British mowing them down like hay with the Gatling guns, were in danger of being literally swept away by the vast numerical su- periority of the Zulus. Nearly half the small British force was kiiled before the Zulus were repulsed. The English government has now established rela- tions more or less friendly with most of the South African tribes and in some cases the tribes have adopted WHITE MEN AS CHIEFS, Notable among these is the now cele- brated John Dunn. This man, a native of Ireland, has been in this country many years. He was a trader, and be- came very friendly with the kaflirs, During a war between the Usibepus and Dinnizulus, he joined the. former, and was successful in defeating the latter. After the war he was offersd absolute power, lands and cattlo, and the pick of the ladies of the tribe for his wives if he would become their chief. The latter inducement was more than the gallant son of Erin could withstand, and he threw in his lot with the warriors. He lives in barbaric splendor, and owns vast tracts of lands, herds of cattle and horses. I once had an offer of a position similar to that of John Dunn. Whilst in Pretoria, Prince Siccoocuni, of the tribe of that name, invited me to join his tribe. He offered to give me first position in his nation, his sister, the princess, as chief wife, with as many others as I wished, together with a hut for each, and as many oxen and asmuch land as I desired. Treating the whcle thing as a joke, I consented. Directly after the prince came along nc- companied by the dark princess for his acceptance. ‘‘Thereis a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.” I was much disposed to think that the tide in my affairs was at the flood, but the thought of the fair face and bright eyes of a true-hearted girl far awa: weighed more in the balance than all the inducements offered by the gen- erous barbarian. I was compelled to excuse myself with the best grace pos- sible under the circumstances. THE MEDICINE MAN. Next to the chief in Kaffir tribes the muti (medicine man) has perhaps the most influence. He is looked on as possessing supernatural powers, and is supposed to stand high in favor with Incosi Pesulu (the Great Spirit), but to judge by his appearance, one would conclude that he was a winion of his satanic majesty rather than an angel of the gods. He paints his face and body in a most demoniacal fashion, be- decks his neck and arms with snakes and other loathsome veptiles, garlands his heaa with crows’ feathers, and practices all kinds of fraud on the npeople, exacting large gifts for himself, and oxen as sarifices to the Great Spirit. Some- times even human victims are de- manded. In the latter case the victim 15 generally one who has incurred the displeasure of the Muti. I had a nar- row escape from ending my daysasa propitiation of that kind. Being amongst the Sitantas, and the conntry being badly in need of rain, the Muti having tried all other means without producing the desired results, declured that a human sacrifice was desired to npreue the displeasure of the Great pirit, and accordingly the necessary preparations were entered upon. groat feast was prephred. The people gathered, forming a circle, in the cen- ter of which was the Muti. Fires were kindled, and ten oxen were, one by oné, slaughtered, the beasts being led by a number of young men to the Muti, who all the time repeating some unintelli- able jargon, stabbed them with a long fiuiru, catching the blood in vessels, wallowing in it and scuuartnf it all around and high in the air amidst the shoutings and wild dancing of the chosen assistants, the POOR BRUTES WHILE YET ALIVE being ripped open, the entrails torn out and flung hot and smoking on the fire. The flesh was then roasted and eaten by the people, the muti all the time bran- dishing nis bloody knife and chanting a wild, demoniacal song. Then came the awful moment when he wouid point out from among the people the human vie- tim destined to be offered as a sacrifice. As he d along the lines from one to another many trembled with fear, whilst abject terror was painted on many faces, He came at length to the spot where I with two friends were lo- cated, hesitated for a moment, passed on, but returned again, and drawing his bloody knife across my shoulder, yelled out, ‘*Bussella! Bassella!” (**The vietim! The victim!”) at the same time com- manding four young men who had held the oxen for the knife, to approach and | gaining a seize the sacrifid Ié't the great spirit might have humfh" Hiood to drink and breathe the frags of tho ascending smoke of his rmu(':wmvnrl. Being somewlhiji} agprebensive of the turn affairs mig kt,u?(c.l and my two friends kad taKen' fhe precaution of carrying our arms, shd not seeing the matter in the suie light as the muti, we _ prégired to defend ourselves, In thd present state of excitement, it'whi'useless to attempt a parley. So, hsdithe Servitors ap- proached, without's moment’s hesita- tion we fired on therm TWO FELY, DEAD, and taking aim at'the villainous priost, 1 sent a bullet through his head, which sent him to his last account, and before the people could recover from their astonishment, we took to our heels and, rock, placed our backs against it, determined to sell our lives as dearly as possible, if any further attempt ‘was made on us. ‘The muti being dead, consultation was held amongst the chief and his advisors,who evidently decided mot to carry on the game any further. In a parley which followed we ex- plained to the chief vur{eplnhlly what the consequences would to him and his tribe if we were harmed when the news reached our friends on the coast. We were not subjected to further out- | rage, tho only stipulation being that we leave their country at once, a condition we were not loathe to comply with. There is no cannibalism amongst even the lowest and most degraded tribes of South Africa. 'I'hey have different religions and forms of worship. Some of them have a be- lief in two great _spirits, one of evil and one of good who con- stantly war with each other, sometimes the good prevailing and sometimes the evil, so to be safe they render about equal adoration to each, their worships being actuated solely by notions of fear. Others believe only in one great power to whom they attribute qualities of a mixture of good and evil. Their deity sometimes isin a mild,.amiable ana benevolent mood, and at others is blood- thirsty and cruel. There are tribes who believe the spirit of the deity en- ters into the crocodile and consequently they render to this brute divine homage. These tribes have a priesthood set apart to the worshiv of this deity. Their duties are to hold communion with the SPIRIT IN THE CROCODILE and communicate his commandments to the people. Tho inconti, or high priest seldom makes his revelations direct to the people, but generally through sub- ordinates. The incoati is provided with a sanctuary in which he holds communion with the deity. This sanc- tuary is the center hut of aboutone hundred all enclosed by a tall palisade made of bamboo and interlaced, so as to make it impossible to see through. The huts surrounding thecenter one are for the use of theisubordinate priests. None but the priests are allowed to enter the enclosurey and none ever enter the center hut or sunctuary ex- cept the incoati. 'Here he professes to have converse with the spirit, who re- veals himself in o mysterious manner in the form of a crododile. The priest is fearved and avoided by the populace on the few occasions that he does appear outside. > Loatgpe Horaford's Xcid Phosphate, Makes an Inyigorating Drink with water and sugu¥ only.
