Street, opposite HeinLz's utnz Store. 46- -j St. Xakw For years past most remarkable re- ports about a Malay settlement at the mouth of a small bayou running into Lake Borgne on the extreme southern limit have been in circulation. Tales which would have furnished material for many volumes of sensational 'litera- ture have been twice told about this peculiar spot, until the passage of time 'and the absence of accurate detail con- cerning this terra incognita gave to them the corroboration of general ac- quiescence, and St. Mulo was regarded-b- y those who heard of the settlement as akin to the buccaneers' resort3 of the Caribbean Sea. or to the mysteri- ous retreats of the smugglers of the Spanish main. It is true, now and again some indefatigable amateur hunt- er or fisherman would stray into its neighborhood, but they never remained long, and their short visits served rath- er to heighten the color of past rumors than to tone them down to a matter-of- - fact standard of to-da- y. All that was definitely known was that many years ago a number of na- tives of Manila, one of the Philippine Islands, north of Java, had established themselves in a village on a piece of land in the sea marsh of Louisiana, near a bayou, and there, with miles and miles of rustling rushes and reeds be- tween them and civilization, had built up an autonomy of their own, holding allegiance to no power or potentate, and, though within the geographical boundary of our State and the United States, yet beyond the reach of its laws. A stern and rigidly enforced statute of the colony was that of complete exclusion of the female sex. and many were the ghastly traditions of the enforcement of this ordinance. According to the whispered story, shortly after the settlement was made, and the small-eye- d natives of the Pa- cific began to thrive with their fishery, one of their number, following the ex- ample of the average American citizen, as well as the dictates of a semi-Mongoli- an taste, carried thither a wife, and established her at the head of his little household. Within a few months un- pleasant reports began to spread in the village, at first against the chief, and then against the smallest and most fisher's assistant there. Gos- sip, with her idle tongue, invoked pri- vate enmity where brotherly love ex- isted before.and old friends found them- selves separated by some maligning slanderer. Feuds were created. The crease and the knife were resorted to, and the peaceful St. Malo threatened to become a place of sickening deeds. The older heads gathered together and dis- cussed this unlooked-fo- r change in the affairs of the microcosm. The logic of facts, by a very simple induction.?point-e- d to the woman as the cause, and her fate was sealed. Traditions differ as to the means taken to bring about the de- sired result. One has it that she was tied out in the marshes to a stake for the mosquitoes to suck out her life-bloo- d: another tells of the short strife of a knife and a severing of the bloody limbs from the headless trunk. It mat- ters little which may be true, the re- sult remained, and woman never more set eyes on St. Halo. The character of these settlers hail been spoken of as most bold and des- perate, which was skillfully concealed under a mild, submissive manner when the eyes of Christian people were upon them. Exclusive, crafty, superstitious and daring descendents of the an- thropophagi, it was but natural that New Orleans and. the neighboring country did not. take kind- ly to St. Malo as a resort in their sum- mer cruises over our land-lock- ed lakes. With such before the imagination, it is pardonable that a desire for a solution of these reported mysteries should be awakened in the journalistic mind. The fishing is conducted by com- panies, each of which is composed of a Captain and four or rive men. The Captrin is generally the owner of the seine. They start out in fine weather down the shore of Lake Borgne and haul the seine until a sufficient quantity is caught to fill their cars. All return to St, Malo, where the fish are bunched and sold to Iuirgers which ply between that point and New Orleans." The first share goes- - to the seine, aad then all take share and share alike of the proceeiis. Each man. when luckj. clears between fifteen and eighteen dollars per vfk. They do not care for the cold, and work winter and summer, although summer is the bestrfishingseason. The men live on fish, rice and beans, and once a week they get meat. They are all contented without wires, and seldom have trouble with one another. When they first came they built their houses with latanier (palmetto) leaves and with straw from the marsh; now they an built of cypress. No snch thinff as a warrant of a court, a tax bill, a-- lawyer, a doctor, or an election is known there. Their only judges to settle their disputes are arbf-tratb- rs selected by those who dispute the property in a skiff, a bunch of fish, or a pirogue. When a man gets drunk on liquors brought on the luggers from the city, and he" gets noisy. Tie is im- mediately taken" down to a fish car, which is simply a large skiff, some ten feet long, decked over with open seams about an inch in width, so that when it is atloat the water will flow throHgh it to keep the fish alive; Thcrurnnken man is put in a fish car. the sliding door on top is closed and a peg inserted. He is --hen safe. If he becomes too obstreper- ous the car out into the water until it is half filled, . the cold bath effectually quieting the ardor of the prisoner. With Bataille as an interpreter, the Times-Danocr- at men paid DeL Carpio a visit; and from him learned that the boat-bufluer- fs story was, correct. DeL Carpio had been there for thirty-fiv- e years, and formerly was Captain of a .company himself, but he had grown, too old to fish, and he seldom went out in the boats now. He raised game chick- ens, which afforded much sport to the woman there, and passed his davs r quietly beneath the dark shadows of .his trees. Under the shed was hnng a string of sliced fish, drving, as if drying was possible uxsuchTa humid atmos phere. Evervthihir seemed- - saturated. Del Carpio had been, a sailor, but on ) reaching this country had left his vessel and come to St- - Malo- - He said the j place was selected, because the bavou I afforded a jrood harbor, and excellent fishing grounds were near. The men there took no part in the late war,,.and wfre-4isturbed- -by- -- neither side- - He would not siy"that there was no smug-glingnhrou- gh the lines from St. Maao a&Ivniju2 snuTa&uScaaUj-whe- n the subject was mentioned!

" asked an enthusiastic citizen on Saturday, after listening to the talk: over the line from here to Nevr York. 44 Whv. vp hfiv nnlvfipmin ' rpnliiv? a gentleman who had paid some atten tion to the subject. 4lo talk six hun-dred'nti- les or so is nothing. Why. you just wait ten years and I welLtell you what vou will see." "Well, letTs hear you now." 4In the first place the present Morse system of telegraph-wil- l have entirely p"assed:away. Talking will be so much more rapid and accurate." "Yes, I admit that." "Well, that is not all. There will be a perfect network of telephone comniu-nicatfc- ar anoY it will be very cheap. But that will not be all. By.the pav-me- nt of a very small sum the" father in Northern Ohio can step to the telephone station at the township center and call up his married daughter, who many years ago emigrated to Dakota. As he talks he will look into a finely-adjust- ed mirror that stands before his face, and in that mirror he can see the face of his beloved daughter as she talks to him She, at her end of the line, of course, will observe the countenance clearly and distinctly also. The conversation will run something like this: 44 'You seem to be a little pale to-da- y. father. Are you as well as usual? " 4 Why, yes, I guess I am all right. How are the babies? ' 4 Oh. Sally was sick all night and don't seem to" be just right this morn- ing. Here shu is (holding her up to the telephone). You must excuse her ap- pearance. Her face is not very clean; I have been so busy that T have"not had time to wash it, and she has been play- ing around and got this apron very dirty, too.' 44 'Sally is all right, ain't she. little one? How grandpa does wish he could take her in nis arms. He can see her very clearly, though. I think she looks more and more like her mothers folks as she gets older,, don't you? ' " -- Yes, we all agree on that; William has insisted almost ever since she was born that she was mother's girl. But here is Henry and John; both want to see and talk with grandpa a minute this morning." 44 'Bless their souls, grandpa want3 to see them. too. Let them come to the 'phone.' "And so the conversation will go on. and all for ten cents." "But that will spoil the United States mail. What wilL be the use of writinr letters when we can, talk that way?" "There will be none at all. But this telephone business win be run by the Government, and the price of communi- cation will be kept down to the mini- mum. When we think that we can now talk over a line six hundred miles long:. and hear what is said, do you think that is expecting very much? Who would have believed, that such a thins as a telephone was possible ten years ago? I tell you. I am not speaking at random in what I have said above. Through with wonders are we? Why, man. we have only just begun. We have got to study up some means of rapid transit by which newpapen at any rate can be sent from one part of the country to an- other much faster than now. News will get very old before a full descrip- tion of it can be sent from one part of the country to the other by telephone. Men are now studying the problem of electric locomotion, and in ten years it will be an accomplished fact. This Ls a fast age? Ha. ha! This is an age compared to what is coming. Twenty-fiv- e miles per hour for an express train! Bah! who will be willing to wait for that; we shall spin along at least at the rate ot thirty or forty miles a minute when there is any necessity for so doing. Not possible? Why. man. you "are a skeptic! any thing is possible to the modern Yankee mfnd and genius. We can do anything we have a mind to and we will." The man who thought the inventor? had got to the end of their string walked away in a relieetive mood. Cleveland Leader. Common-Se- n TT?eIs7 " The man who is not too much wrapped up in his business, and there are few who are. to cast a critical eye upon the well-dresse- d woman :ts she passes him on the street on these al- leged springy days, will doubtless notice that her style of walking has changed for the better. He may not stop to ponder upon the reason forthe improve- ment, and perhaps could not discover it if he did, but he nevertheless notices and appreciates the fact. The heel of a woman's shoe is a little thing" and sometimes considered insig- nificant, but it is of sufficient impor- tance, all the same, to change her gait and alter her whole appearance on the street or in the ball room. One of fash-ion- !s decrees that has for some years been adhered to is that the heel "of a woman's shoe shall taper off to a pen- cil point and be placet! in the middle of the foot. The result has been that her shoes have proved of as much aid in walking backward as forwanL The g:iit made necessary was accepted be- cause it was fashionable, but it never was-admire- d. Men admire a free and graceful gait in women and it is undoubtedly the chief desire of women, to attract tlie ad- miration of men. The change in fash- ion which has taboed French heels on women's shoes, will give them another valuable chance for success-i- this- - par- ticular. What are called. " common-sense- " heels have now been decreed to be the thing. Women ought to be de- voutly thankful therefore thatthey have been kindiv taken off of stilts and are permitted, to walk in a way that is ad- mired bv civilized men." Earrusbtini (Pa.)

"Certainly, my dear." cooed Mrs. Spoopendyke.- nestling up to her hus band and glancing around the car to see if he had been overheard. ''You can make ir out if anybody can." ' "Now,, we started from New York, at 10:30 a. m.." continued Mr. iSooonen- - dvke. and we et t. Buffalo at 12:1" a. m. Then, according to this we leave Buffalo- - at 12:3f and 12:40 for Chicag-o- .

"There it is!" exclaimed Mr-- , spoop- endyke. nushinr with another "I've got it now! Of course we've got to leave Buffalo twice to get to Chi- cago twice!" and Mrs. Spopendyke settied herself back and regarded tlie tabic TiHi" Amah oTjlioan- - "Oh. you've ot it." roared Spoopen- dyke. "This railroad is twins! Leaves everywhere twice ami efc- - everywhere twice! Nobody would Have found it out but you!

"Perhaps there are two different trains out of Buffalo." hazarded Mrs. Spoopendyke. Mr. Spoopendyke deliberately tore the time table into a thousand pieces, dropped them carefully under the seat. buried his hands in liN pockets and gazed out of the window. "I don't care." soliloquized Mrs. Spoopendyke. There can t two trains arrive anywhere without leaving some- where, and. any how.

The greatest amount i in value of Bes-,ni- er raiL, -- ent to the Uniteti Suites in ariv' one ear was in 1374; being 32. lA6...-..ri- . The amount for the present is 32.01 1.72O.S0. During ' the years 1876 to 1SS, inclusive. , thLs trade was entirely suspended, ami jt then seeminl probable that our country wouldfrom" that time be able to npply ' her own demands. But it will be-see- chat the present year nearly equals 1874. ' the year of largest export of this mate- - rial. Now, considering the fact that the price- - of Bessemer rails i- - at the present time less by more than one.-ha-lf than in the year 1S74. it will appear that the quantity taken bv the United States In 18S2 must be at l3L--t double that of 1874. the yarof greatest export of rails. When we turn to stetd we, shall find a different aspect of the jrade of the last ten years. In 1873 the valne of steel exported to our country was 33.2GT.-879.6- 6. against 31.959.7S2 in the present year a large decrease. In judginsr of the quality, there, is not the element of difference in, price to.be considered, as in the case of Bessemer rafls since the price of best steel is nearlv ihe same now a?- - In 1873. Taking: into- - consideration the remarkable progress of our country; jn the last ten years in alL branches of in- - I uustry taat must nave tieyeiopeu a greatly increased demand for a superior quality otsteel that has heretofore been supposed to be made only in Sheffield, there seems, to be clearly indicated an increasing ability to compete in qualitv with the best makersin the world. This implies a rapidly growing independence of a foreign market-- . , ThLs is the jnore significant as the demand for steel does not partake bf that? spasmodic character that belongs to Bessemer rails. Again, the same indication sof growing inde- pendence may be seen, when we con- sider the third great branch of Sheffield Industry; cutlery. Theamountihvaluedf eeHlery of all kinds exaorced to the United States c in .1873, thajear ei'.greataiY trade, was $1,392,033.94. against .61 in the present year, showing a difference jn our favor of $94,992. As there has been no increase in our de- mand for Sheffield cutlery during the Iat ten vears. notwithstanding our .greatigrowth in population and wealth. and consequent ability to purchase the best of the world's products, it seems certain that our cutler manufacture nuist have greatly extended and im- proved in qualitv. It is evident that home makers are more largely supply- ing the home market. Still the fact re mains that our country calls-fo- r Shef- field cutlerv to the amount of more than 3l.OflO.000" annually. Now, unless the demands of the American people upon our own manufacturers are so great that they cannot be supplied, as is the case with Bessemer rails, then n Ls that there is a quality and finish in Sheffield cutlery that a large portion of American buyers prefer and. will havc U.

Port Rae and the Dog-Ri- b Indiaas. Jft a letter lo'ature. Captain Daw- son, the commander of the British lar expedition -- tationed at Fort Rea. thus describes tliat remote north- ern, point and its inhabitants: Fort Rea lies in latitude 62 degrees JS minutes north and longitude 115 degrees :5 min- utes west from Greenwich, half-wa- y up a long gulf of Great Slave Lake that run tor about one hundred miles in a northwest direction from the mouth of Yellow Knife River. The fort Li situ- ated at the foot of a rocky hill that rises some two hundred feet above the lake, which is about futir mile- - wide at this point. The Indians who resort here for trade hunt for the most part in the "barren lands" near the Coppermine River, whence they bring quantities of sKins and hpet trom the musk ox. which seems to be verv abundant. Deer. too are very plentiful, and m the winter thev migrate in srteat herds from the barren lands to the eountrv between the arin 0f the land on which Fort Rae lies aadv the Mackenzie: Sometimes these herCis pass quite close to the fort, and take two or three days in passin Their numbers must be verv great; a sinele band has been known to ll over fifteen, thousand in an ordinary season, This vear the deer have passed" at some distance, hnt the Indians are now rDe- - eMnbr 1 ) bringing in fresh meat daily. These Indians are of the "Dog-rib- " tribe a quiet, inoffensive race, like all the wood-Indian- s. They are almost all Roman Catholics, the missionaries of that religion beinjr very numerous in the country, and they are certainly very devoted and hard-workin- g. There are also Protestant missionaries, but they do not appear to have made, any con- verts. The Dog-rib- s, are a branch of the Chipewyan family, who occupies all that portiou of the continent between the Rocky Motratains and' Hmison's Bay to the north of the parallel of 55 degrees.

For years past most remarkable re-ports about a Malay settlement at themouth of a small bayou running intoLake Borgne on the extreme southernlimit have been in circulation. Taleswhich would have furnished materialfor many volumes of sensational 'litera-ture have been twice told about thispeculiar spot, until the passage of time

'and the absence of accurate detail con-cerning this terra incognita gave tothem the corroboration of general ac-quiescence, and St. Mulo was regarded-b-y

those who heard of the settlementas akin to the buccaneers' resort3 ofthe Caribbean Sea. or to the mysteri-ous retreats of the smugglers of theSpanish main. It is true, now andagain some indefatigable amateur hunt-er or fisherman would stray into itsneighborhood, but they never remainedlong, and their short visits served rath-er to heighten the color of past rumorsthan to tone them down to a matter-of- -fact standard of to-da- y.

All that was definitely known wasthat many years ago a number of na-tives of Manila, one of the PhilippineIslands, north of Java, had establishedthemselves in a village on a piece ofland in the sea marsh of Louisiana,near a bayou, and there, with miles andmiles of rustling rushes and reeds be-

tween them and civilization, had builtup an autonomy of their own, holdingallegiance to no power or potentate,and, though within the geographicalboundary of our State and the UnitedStates, yet beyond the reach of its laws.A stern and rigidly enforced statute ofthe colony was that of complete exclusionof the female sex. and many were theghastly traditions of the enforcement ofthis ordinance.

According to the whispered story,shortly after the settlement was made,and the small-eye-d natives of the Pa-cific began to thrive with their fishery,one of their number, following the ex-ample of the average American citizen,as well as the dictates of a semi-Mongoli- an

taste, carried thither a wife, andestablished her at the head of his littlehousehold. Within a few months un-

pleasant reports began to spread in thevillage, at first against the chief, andthen against the smallest and most

fisher's assistant there. Gos-

sip, with her idle tongue, invoked pri-vate enmity where brotherly love ex-isted before.and old friends found them-selves separated by some maligningslanderer. Feuds were created. Thecrease and the knife were resorted to,and the peaceful St. Malo threatened tobecome a place of sickening deeds. Theolder heads gathered together and dis-

cussed this unlooked-fo- r change in theaffairs of the microcosm. The logic offacts, by a very simple induction.?point-e- d

to the woman as the cause, and herfate was sealed. Traditions differ as tothe means taken to bring about the de-

sired result. One has it that she wastied out in the marshes to a stake forthe mosquitoes to suck out her life-bloo- d:

another tells of the short strifeof a knife and a severing of the bloodylimbs from the headless trunk. It mat-ters little which may be true, the re-sult remained, and woman never moreset eyes on St. Halo.

The character of these settlers hailbeen spoken of as most bold and des-

perate, which was skillfully concealedunder a mild, submissive manner whenthe eyes of Christian people were uponthem. Exclusive, crafty, superstitiousand daring descendents of the an-

thropophagi, it was but natural thatNew Orleans and. the

neighboring country did not. take kind-ly to St. Malo as a resort in their sum-mer cruises over our land-lock- ed lakes.With such before the imagination, it ispardonable that a desire for a solutionof these reported mysteries should beawakened in the journalistic mind.

The fishing is conducted by com-panies, each of which is composed of aCaptain and four or rive men. TheCaptrin is generally the owner of theseine. They start out in fine weatherdown the shore of Lake Borgne andhaul the seine until a sufficient quantityis caught to fill their cars. All returnto St, Malo, where the fish are bunchedand sold to Iuirgers which ply betweenthat point and New Orleans." The firstshare goes- - to the seine, aad then all takeshare and share alike of the proceeiis.Each man. when luckj. clears betweenfifteen and eighteen dollars per vfk.They do not care for the cold, and workwinter and summer, although summeris the bestrfishingseason. The men liveon fish, rice and beans, and once a weekthey get meat. They are all contentedwithout wires, and seldom have troublewith one another. When they firstcame they built their houses withlatanier (palmetto) leaves and withstraw from the marsh; now they anbuilt of cypress.

No snch thinff as a warrant of a court,a tax bill, a-- lawyer, a doctor, or anelection is known there. Their onlyjudges to settle their disputes are arbf-tratb- rs

selected by those who disputethe property in a skiff, a bunch of fish,or a pirogue. When a man gets drunkon liquors brought on the luggers fromthe city, and he" gets noisy.

How are the babies? '4 Oh. Sally was sick all night and

in value of Bes-,ni- er raiL, --ent to theUniteti Suites in ariv' one ear was in1374; being 32. lA6...-..ri-. The amountfor the present is 32.01 1.72O.S0. During '

the years 1876 to 1SS, inclusive. , thLstrade was entirely suspended, ami jtthen seeminl probable that our countrywouldfrom" that time be able to npply '

her own demands. But it will be-see-

chat the present year nearly equals 1874. '

the year of largest export of this mate- -rial. Now, considering the fact thatthe price-- of Bessemer rails i- - at thepresent time less by more than one.-ha-lf

than in the year 1S74. it will appear thatthe quantity taken bv the United StatesIn 18S2 must be at l3L--t double that of1874. the yarof greatest export of rails.When we turn to stetd we, shall find adifferent aspect of the jrade of the lastten years. In 1873 the valne of steelexported to our country was 33.2GT.-879.6- 6.

against 31.959.7S2 in the presentyear a large decrease. In judginsr ofthe quality, there, is not the element ofdifference in, price to.be considered, as inthe case of Bessemer rafls since the priceof best steel is nearlv ihe same now a?- - In1873. Taking: into-- consideration theremarkable progress of our country; jnthe last ten years in alL branches of in-- I

uustry taat must nave tieyeiopeu agreatly increased demand for a superiorquality otsteel that has heretofore beensupposed to be made only in Sheffield,there seems, to be clearly indicated anincreasing ability to compete in qualitvwith the best makersin the world. Thisimplies a rapidly growing independenceof a foreign market-- . , ThLs is the jnoresignificant as the demand for steel doesnot partake bf that? spasmodic characterthat belongs to Bessemer rails. Again,the same indication sof growing inde-pendence may be seen, when we con-sider the third great branch of SheffieldIndustry; cutlery.

in the present year, showinga difference jn our favor of $94,992. Asthere has been no increase in our de-

mand for Sheffield cutlery during theIat ten vears. notwithstanding our

.greatigrowth in population and wealth.and consequent ability to purchase thebest of the world's products, it seemscertain that our cutler manufacturenuist have greatly extended and im-proved in qualitv. It is evident thathome makers are more largely supply-ing the home market. Still the fact remains that our country calls-fo- r Shef-field cutlerv to the amount of more than3l.OflO.000" annually. Now, unless thedemands of the American people uponour own manufacturers are so great thatthey cannot be supplied, as is the casewith Bessemer rails, then n
