His sickness called out a great inter' est, and the people of the town and the j. officers ol the bea Hawk would havt paid him every attention had he permitted it Dinah's visit was soon noised abroad " and created no little comment; but, at * many of the humbler people, and some 1 of the well-to-do also, hed great faitt i in her curative skill, it was generallj 1 believed that Colonel Graham h&d sum3 moned her to examine his case. Unlike the majority of his race, ! Othello was reticent, and though he was pretty well subjected to the pump* lng process, be kept his own and hie * master's secrets; the latter had sudi denly become very heavy, but, being 3 naturally shrewd, he bore tho burden 3 with a dim notion that it would turn ou1 j sooner or later to his advantage. His relationship to Dinah was nol _ known outside themselves. The ole 9 woman called every man, wnite, oiaon 3 or red, "son," and she was usually called , "granny." Col. Graham could not afford to re i main pent up in his room. It was es. Bential that He should be off. yet evident to the doctor and even htxuseli ' that he would not be able to make the 3 journey overland to New York, for at 1 least two weeks. "I am very anxions," he said to Dr. Hedges, the day after Dinah's visiti "to utilize my forced stay here by learning something of the aborigineBl I have ? seen, here in your streets, Uncas, th? . Montauk chief, and his rarelv bei uifu! 3 sister, Untilla; if they be fair specimens of the natives, they are a people to be envied." 1 "They are hardly fair specimens," said the doctor, who was an authority 3 on Indian matters. "They belong to the a royal race, and are descended from the w?uii/)ouaK with whnm nnr fir at ?? j aauauvu, '?* ** v? ??. settlers?my father was one of them? made a treaty for the lands now held ? by the whites.

"Yes, sir; as all brave people are.no jiatter where you find tbem." "I thank you for your offer, and wil! start at once," said Graham. ' He was emphatically a man of action, J ? ? ??-11 Ji J nvnttf VttmOAlf + Vl O I 1 I BUU 8U VVVll U1U UO MCiu uJuiDvn, lucai , by the early afternoon of that day, he , was sitting on a horse, while his servant, mounted on another, led an ani? ' mal laden with their luggage. ' The young chief, Uncas, being in town i that day, was asked by Doctor Hedges i to take charge of the colonel and his , servant, and hexdid so with a readiness and grace that would have done credit to an accomplished courtier. Uncas on root, and, with his long rifle thrown over hf shoulder, strode ahead, and he would kave kept on, without a bait, h:d not Colonel Graham stopped In front of Sqcire Condit's house. , The Colonel was not anxious to meet the Squire again, but on this occasion he could not avoid it, for that gentleman < was standing in the road in front of his > own house, and looked as if he wanted to be addressed. ; Approaching the Colonel, and laying , his hand on the horse'6 mane, the Squire 6aid: "When you spoke to me last, you said there was something you wanted to get > Ralph Den ham to do, when you would . answer a question I asked." , "I am awaye of that," said the Colonel, haughtily. 1 "Well, I am ready." "But is Capt Denham here?" "You know he is not." "Then it is impossible for you to fulfill your part of the condition, so with your termission we shall wait till he , returns from New York." [ "But you may not be here then." . "How do you know?" "I know but little about your past or fresent, unfortunately, and that little, guess, i6notin your favor. You do \ not wish to speak now. Go on, we shall meet aeain before you leave, depend on , that." Squire Condit, with a flushed face," 1 turned toward his house, and the Colonel, followed by Othello, and pre ceded by the Montauk chief, rode on. "Why, Goodwill," said Mrs. Condit, who, with her daughter Ellen, Lea Hedges, Valentine Dayton and the old Lieutenant, was looking over the flower garden, now in a most charming bloom, "you loo'i to be excited. Has anything wrong been done to you?" I Mrs. Condit had never seen Colonel Graham until his recent visit, and hei y husband, not earing to tiouble her, or it ,, may be with the belief that one can i? keep a secret better than two, haa nevei told her his suspicions and dislike ol this man, nor hinted that be had evei received money from him for Ealph'6 , care. '? Squire Condit had a religious and alec a manly hatred of falsehood, but being something of a lawyer he was inclineo j to caution and diplomacy, and had th? skill to parry a direct question withoul throwing much light on it. r "I have no sympathy with peopk whose curiosity fakes tbem m among 3. peaceful enough people if they are let alone. Some day one of these rich Enit glishmen will see the land of the Mona tauks?as did the spies of Joshua in the e olden time?and they will conclude thai ip it would make a fine estate and game l9 preserve, and then they will send agents over hdre, and under some trumped-up ,r treaty they will get the lands away from our red neighbors," said the Squire. "Wasn't that the way grandfathei - did?" asked Ellen, laughingly. n "No, it wasn't. The treaty with thf ? ereat Wvandauch was fair, and has not been violated by Montauk or white man. n I read it so often when I was a boy that y I knew it by heart,with all the old spellL-. ing.

Strange how those old Indian names get twisted round Iron the original." "Aye, and a pity it is. Now, I ooulc give you some remarkable instances oi the mutilation of native Words; for in(stance, there's Corchake " Miss Condit mercifully saved tht younj? people from hearing the Squirt airing his Indian vocabulary by leading him into the house, on the plea of wanting him to taste htr n^w raspberry vinegar. And so, after all, the Squire was not pumped. In the meantime Colonel Graham followed his guide, and when they hac gone out or signt or the settlements tht latter dropped back and said: "Here we are in the land of the Montauks, to which I bid you welcome." "I thank you," replied Graham. "Yoi have a beautirul land. How far does 11 extend to the eastward from here?" "As far as the island extends." "And you cultivate the soil?" "The women do that," said the chief, proudly. "Of oourse, but you have flocks anc herds?" "Some, but the deer on the hills are our flocks, and the sword-iish in the ees aro our herds." "Tou must lead a happy, independent life. How iar is your settlement Iron here?" "We can reach it before the sun it there," replied the chief, pointing .his rifle half way down the western sky. They went on with more speed, anc early in the afternoon they came to s wooded elevation, from which they had a view to the eastward of a nearly treeless valley, in which were many houses of logs and bark, and beyond which there stretched a great pond that looked as large as an old world lake. To the south a glimpse of the great ocean could be had, while to the north there stretched away the placid blue waters of the Sound. ' "Does the .black woman, Dinah, live here?" asked Graham, as they descended to the valley. "You mean the black priestess?" , "Ah?perhaps?yes, I meac the blacb priestess." "There is her house," said the qhief, pointing to a cabin from the clay chimney Of which the,smoke was rising. "Do you all like her?" "Some do. I do not, though once ] did like*her," said the chief. "And why did you change? "Because she was the friend of Ralph Denham." "Then you do not like Denham?" "I hate him, and should he Return and meet me alone, blood will bo spilled." "Why do you hate him?" Before replying, Uncas looked Graham full in the face, and was satisfied that he, too, had no liking for th:- Bailor, "My sister likes him as she does hei life." "Oh, indeed. And you do not wist him to marry your sister?" "No. I wish he would marry T'ntilla; and leave Lea Hedges to the man who loves her as he never can." "Ah, I see,"said the colonel, on whom the light suddenly broke, and he regretted that he did not know of this before. Had he done so, he would have saved Fox?whom he trusted wil.h reluctance?the trouble of making away with Ralph Denham, for here was a man anxious for the work, and amply able, with a little coaching, to carry it oui;. Uncas' house differed only iu size from the houses of the irest ol! the tribe; it was, in r sality, a number of ordinary houses, connected >y covered passage-ways. Some of the furniture had been procured from the whites,, but the greater part?from which it must not be inferred that there was a great deal of furniture?wa6 of native manufacture. The chief and hie sister bade Oraham welcome, and, at the bidding of tbe former, a number of Indians appeared to take charge of the horses. One of the houses was set apart for the uBe of Graham, and a smak one adjoining was given to his servant Women appeared to cook venibCj and fish before a great fire that was built before the chief's house. H Being very weary, Graham lay do/cn in a buckskin hammock after supper, and Unoas, evidently glad to have hie guest out of the way, shouldered his rifle and started, with the speed of a man who had au important object in view, for the eastward. After Uncas had gone out of sight of the Montauk village, he sat down on a rock, first taking a careful survey of the surrounding country. He had not been here yery long when he heard the quick breathing ana quicker steps of one running very fast. He did not look in the direction of the sounds, but with his rifle across his knees he gazed 8teadily in the direction of the ocean, now lost to sight, for the first stars were gleaming in the east. "Uncas, I have come from the beacon hill," 6aid a young Indian, suddenly stopping before the chief and addressing him in the musical language of the Mon'auks. "The feet of Soraonk," said the chief, "are as the winss of the eagle." "les," replied Somonk, "but to me they are all too slow when they run to do the bidding of my chief." "Did the white men reach the shore?' "They did. I saw them while yet the dec-lin'ns sun flashed on the headland of Montauk. "Thev came last nicht as w&p agreed'!*" "That I know not, but the young chief gave me this paper, and told m? to hand it to you." Uncas had been taught to read and mite by an old clergyman named Bogert, who had taken a great interest In the conversion of the polytheistic Mcltauks. Striking a light with his flint and eteel, the yourift chief bended the flambeau to Somonk and then opened th< paper. it was neither dated nor signed, bu' was written in a large clear hand, anc read as follows: "The Captain of the Wanderer wil ever look oh Uncas, chief of th< Montauks. as a friend who is very warn in his heart. When four suns liore have set the Wanderer will be at anchor of the beacon headland, a boat will come to the shore, and there Captain Fox wil give to Uncas that whicti he promised, "Warriors win as often through silence and 6ecrecy as by valor. "If.Unca^ helps his friend, he can conquer his enemy, and become master of that which is dear to him as lite.' The chief read this over three or foui times, and then asked: "Somonk, can you guide me there ir the darkness?" "I can," was the reply. "How many or them are there?" "Three," answered Soraonk, holdinp up that number of lingers. "Go on and I will follow." The chief waved his hand, and Somonk, now completely rested, took the advance. They n oved on as uilently as shadows. Along valleys and ovei hills tili they could hear the roar of the ocean; 'and loo'.ing down from theroukj heights, they saw i'renauld and twe companions u:tting alout a lire on the shore.

An eminent German physician, Dr. Hirschfeld, who is on principle oppo-ed to the use of alcohol, was charged at Magdeburg Criminal Court in May last with having caused, or at least hastened, the death of a man who bad been for thirty-si* hours under bis care, and whom be bad then Bent to an hospital, where, after eight days' treatment with large doses of alcohol and quinine, the patient died. The disease was, according to the united judgment of all the doctors, prions inflammation of the cellular tissue of/ the left arm, setting in with hiith fever (septii-sBmia, or blood-poisoning). In reply tothe ' I charge, Dr. Hlrschfeld presented to thu court l a scientific justificationof bis treatment of 1 the case, and that on perfectly general principles. "I have never yet, in my very exIwnsive practice, onered a drop of alcohol, Dor shall I ever do so. I consider it absolutely mischievous to patients, in whatever Form it may be admin'stered, not giving strength, but taking it away. In all lebrfle diseases I irive only unstlmulating diet, such as milk, gruel, fruit syrups, stewed fruit, and the like." He referred to Binz, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, who says: "Alcohol Is one of those excilinR agents which alwayB . occasion a corresponding swing of the pendulum to the opposite side. Toe stimulating effect is always speedily followed by an squally marked diminution of energy in the brain and spinal marrow." The case was decided in Dr. Hirsohfeld's favor, with <jostp igainst the State Attorney. ? HS SAVED HIS COBS.
