Indeed so great was ber solicitude and so

But tbe young worrior, ybo 'stood silent
and stately as the towering monarch of tha

the scene before bim, but when they bad
left, and he eat alone' with Tamberoo be
neath the shade of an oak, Mahicauni, the
young warrior, revealed to Tamberoo Lis
suspicions that the ; pale face had stolen
from bioi tho affections of her heart. Her
downcast look of maiden moderty confirmed
bis tnspicions and he bit bis lips with a
rugo. - Tamberoo arose witb insulted feel
ings, for nothing so wounds tbe pride of an
Indian warrior m to be shunted in love or
to meet infidelity in the heart upou whose
cousUncy he bad placed implicit confidence.
He arose, look tha hand of Tamberoo and
bending upon ber the withering look of
scorn, he threw it from him with disdain
aud U ft her. This was the first . time she
bad ever experienced nnkinduees, or bad
been treated with indignity, bat instead of
creating resentment iu her soul, it awoke

A PRACTICAL VIEW OF IT-
Chronicle.
The Philadelphia Ee-ord has seme com
ments ou tbe invitation extended to Presi
dent Harrison to be present at the Southern
Exposition which are worth noting. The
Keoord is not bliuded by the glamour of
presidential progresses, ; by the splendors
of triumphal marches to the music of
adoring partisans, b tbe f boats and dem
onstrations of servile followers and flatter-
e s. i be Kecora iooks on wun practical
common sense eye, and sees iu the gather,
ing at tha Exposition only a great object
lesson, in which tbe people of the different
sections may meet and learn to know each
ot her, learn something of mutual wants and
deficiencies, learu the metb da aud means
to supply them, and instead of forming a
grand mutual admiration society, coming
together witb clear and rational purpose of
serving mutual material interest. The moral
or ssHtbetio effect of sncb expositions is not
to be undervalued : it is of the very high-
est value; for tbe results will bo dissipation
of ureiudici 8. better;;; understanding of
sectional characteristics, and a broader and
more generous national sentiment. Thus
tbe way is cleared for the unimpeded action
of those practical questions of commercial
and industrial interest, aferall, tbe Under
lying principle of all baman action.
What tbe itccora say about me direct
interest of Philadelphia m the Southern
Exposition is true of all Northern cities
and communities. . Au are engaged in
manufacture of one kind or another; all
are looking for expansion uf their business;
all are casting around lor larger markets;
all prefer their Lome markets, Whit they
can supply, tbe South needs ; she will be
good customer, a prompt pay master,
and will continue to grow as a great con.
sumer.
We are glad to publish the views of tbe
Heoord:
President Harrison will try to go to
tbe treat Southern Industrial Exposition,
at iUMgh, N. 0 , in October and Novem
ber. It would be well worth bis while.
But it is of tn times g-ater importance
that Philadelphia merchaats and tnannfac.
Hirers should be pioperly represented
there. The undertaking kas the official
and pecuniary backing uf the leading
Suutbe u States, and will,- therefore, be a
representative showing of Southern resonr
c e. Nothing is plainer to view than tbe
drift f future business relations between
Philadelphia and the South. Tb field is
open for instant cultivation. Tbe Central
States are reached by rail, and all the
others by bh rail and tbe open sea. lo
tbe South ws rnust look for tho bulk of
whatever increased business is to come to
ns. The lUlelgh Exposition clears tie
way for us."

' In the summer of 1877, a dusty, tired
looking party of horsemen, 40 in nuiolur,
were wendinjr their way over tlie rolling
prairie hind of westvrn Nebraska. In tho
lead and to tlie rear rode a detachment of
Uncle Sam's blue coated tmldiers, com
manded by a boardt'd captain whose ex
perience on the frontier ' had made hi t
name well known. In the midst, care
fully guarded, w ere a half dozen Chey
enne Indians, and following them cania
ten citizens wIioho garb betokened them
to-be 'settlers of the- plain, and whose
jaded horses showed tliat they had been
hard ridden. -
The soldiers were jubilant over their
capture, the Indians were 6tolidly indif
ferent, while the plainsmen wore sullen
countenances which brooded no good for
the ml prisoners. Tho Indians were a
portion of a raiding party that two days
before had attacked outlying settlements
and massacred several entire families.
The citizens were a party that had been
formed to follow the Indians and avengo
their outrage, and that niorning they
had surrounded their foe and were bent
on their annihilation, when tho troopers
had suddenly come upon the scene, and
to the disgust of the settlers captured
the whole party, and thus robbed them cf
their revenge. "St
An nour later a camp was selected by
the side of a clear stream which coursed
over a white sandy bottom. Ono of tho
citizens who had not dismounted rode up
to the group of Indians and addressed a
wrinkled buck whose hard countenanca
clearly bespoke his bloodthirsty nature.
"What's that on your shirt, Injun?" ha
asked. . ,
The Indian, seeing he was attracting
notice, proudly straightened himself.
Fastened to the redskin's much befringed
and beaded deerskin shirt were threo
scalps, all from the fair heads of little
children, and one of them a yellow curl
of a baby. Quick as thought the. white
man's pistol came from the holnter on Lis
saddle, and crack I . The redakin fell for
ward with a bullet between his eyes.
In another moment the avenged settler
was srcling across the' prairie and the
commanding officer had ordered a detnil
of his men to capture him. As they
mounted and started in pursuit one of the
plainsmen said :
"Captain, that hair tied to that 'ar In
jun belonged to his little uns' heads. " .
"Sound the recall," said the captain to
his trumpeter. . '
Diseased Perceptions. .
An American physician, eminent as a
specialist in nervous diseases, has pnid
that a certain kind of m&uuitM.ti,,
quently preceded by what may be called
a mama of tlie sense of smell.
The patient ia tormented by certain
imaginary odors, generally of a foul and
offensive character. Ono roan dotccled
the scent of decaying bananas wherever
he went; another was haunted by tlw
odor of the smallpox ward of a hospital
in which he had been a physician. A
rose, the salt sea air, the most dainty and
pure things all gave out to his diseased
nerves only this sickly, poisonous odor. -
The victims of this peculiar hallucina
tion can not be convinced that the
tensive odor does not exists
They insist that it ia there, but that thi
perceptive faculties of other men ti:d
women are too blunt to detect it.
" Tlire - is another hallucination vet v
like toUys, and much more common ard
better knoVfkIt is that of certain wc'.i
meaning rplew-iiave a sleuth honr.d
scent for detecting badNaves and pur

Unfortunately, too, this diseased raor:'!

with evil doubts.
Lunatics of the first class are much t i

through life haunted by the smell of .de
caying bananas than by the imaginary
presence of vico in the innocent peo;lj
around us. ;
