BILL ARP'S fiill Relates Some Iiis (kliere A Hanta Ca Kraguiouts of Indian history have < accumulated uoon me of late and as ,),, v concern the Creeks and Chero t t.(.l and arc of romantic character, I ?, constrained to record them. These two tribes are our Indians and make quite a chapter in the history of Georgia. Alabama and; East Tennei vtt.. North Georgia was especially tin- home of the Cherokees, for their hief?> lived near Rome as far back as c |iave their history: and the Creeks, ,.r .Muscogees, as they are more prop erly'called, lived south of the Talla niioj-a river. These tribes are not to be classed with savages, for they were ,.f a higher grade, and but for the cn.,.d "i* the white man would no doubt have continued to advance in civilization and rcfinemcmcnt under th.. lead of such chiefs as Ross, Ridge, Houdinot and Mnlntosh. Krerybody is familiar with the nerv of Pocahontas. Longfellow wrote a beautiful story 'about Hiawatha, audWilliam K. Rich ards penned several pretty legends about the Indian girls of Tallulah Kalls, and so I will pen the story of Ilidge and Boudinot as given to This story w'as seut to me by Mrs. iCIleil M. Gibbs, of Crystal J.ake. HI. Her mother, Mrs. Taylor, who died in 1878, wrote this romantic (.ketch in 1877, when she was 7G years pf age, and left it for her children, fflrn had so often heard her repeat it. ]5v some strange coincidence I have recently received a letter from Mrs. Virginia Williams, of Bloomfield. Fla., !:iriug the ancestry of John Ross, those grandfather was a Scotch refu se named McDonald. The writer, |rs. Williams, traces her lineage atk to the same McDonald tree. Her ?other was a daughter of William lay. who married Agnes McDonald. ,r.-. Williams would 'ike to learn ore about Ross and his parents and opes this publication may attract he attention of some one who can in orm her. And now comes a marked copy of a ? i ._?_11 _ j o_i.i- .ti. t? . t i n 01? pajjci vuucu oiiuuuiu x\oau o? in which John Ross, a son of the id chief, appeals for preachers and lathers to come out to the Cherokee ation and help to educate and train he children in the Christian faith, nd especially to teach them in their unday schools. This appeal is dated icccniber, 1897, and Mr. Ross's ad rcss is No. 101 Gold street, New "ork. And here is the Vinita Leader, an ble paper, published in the nation, tid contains General Andrew Jack on s letter to the Cherokee Chiefs, ritten in 1835, and which urges and ntreats them to accept the terms of he treaty and move at once to tho '.rritory assigned to them. And almost by the same mail comes nether interesting and beautifully ritten sketch of the present condi on of the Muscogees (or Creeks). It as written by Mr. W. W. Ramsay,! ? Marysville, Mo., a gifted and schol rly gentlemttn who is deeply interest d in Indian affairs. Other fragments aie come to mo, and if ? do not bridge and compile and have them lblished in your paper, mueh valua le history of these Indians will be ore ver lost. Rut to the story? 'in 1817 a foreign mission school rap established at Cornwall, Conn. It ras a charity school for Indians main y, though there were some white pu ils there and some defrayed their *n excuses. Students from several ndian tribes were there to acquire ?c Kcglish language and a rudiment rjn education. Some white pupils ai o acquired the Indian language and cnt out as missionaries to the tribc?. m>des tho'Chippewas and Chootaws ad Cherokees, I remember there ere two from the Sandwich Islands. ' Mr. Daggett was tho first prinor al of the school a,nd Mr. Andrews e last. Every May there was a pub c exhibition ..and the Indian boys poke on the stage, first in their own oguage and then in ours, -they ere genteel and graceful in their ratory. They sang songs in their alive tongue, nil waving their hands harmony with the musio. They ere never allowed to go beyond tho *its or into people'! houses without ritatton. / When they visited. tu we 'd aaido our work ^nd entertained era. ''Among these students, was a Oher ee youth named John Ridge, the ? of a chief, a very noble young , of fine form and feature and a rfeet gentleman in his manners and portment. For two years ho was icted with a hip disease. While ?hoarded at Mr. Northrup'a and ?. Morthrup had the care of.him, actinies her daughter Sarah, a cet and lovely girl, waited ?pon ' > One day Dr. Gould, who. was y ? ousin, said to Mr. Northrup: ?hn is about well. He has no physt 1 disease about him end needs no ore medioinc, but he is in trouble d you had better find out what is. c matter.' , 'That afternoon while Sarah was j ; LETTER. tory of the Creeks mid >lcees. natilution away her mother took her knitting and went to sit and talk with John. While there she took notice of his melancholy and begged him to tell her what troubled him so much of late. At first he denied having any sorrow, but being pressed told her that he j loved Sarah and knew that he could never marry her, for he was an Indian. 'Have you ever mentioned it to Sa rah?' she asked. 'No, said ho, 'I dare not, but how could 1 help loving her?' ''When Sarah camo home her mother said: "Sarah, do you love John Ridge?' 'Yes, 1 do, mother,' she said. Then came the family trouble. Mr. Northrup at once took Sarah to her grandparents iu New Haven and begged them to wean Sa rah from her Indian lover?to give parties and introduce her to nice young men, which they did. but it was all in vain. She remained there three months and seemed to be pin ing away in silent grief. Her parents became alarmed and brought her home. What was to be done, for it would be an awful thing for Sarah to marry him. As a last resort Mr. Northrup told John Ridge to go homo and stay two years, and if he got en tirely well he might come back and marry Sarah. He did so and when the time was out came back accompa nied by his father, Major Ridge, the ?hief of the Cherokees. They trav eled in prineelj' style aud were hand somely dressed. I remember that Major Ridge's coat was trimmed with gold lace. "John and Sarah were married and went to the Cherokee nation to live, but not as missionaries, for John bad to visit Washington quite often to transact business for the tribe. Sa rah had servants to wait upon her and lived like a princess in a large two story dwelling. "Not long after this the little town of Cornwall had another tumult and great excitement came into its social life. There was fever heat when it was announced that Elias Boudinot, who w?s John Ridge's cousin, was about to m?rry Harriet Gould, the fairest and best educated girl in all that region. She was the nearest perfection of any girl I ever knew. She was the idol of the family. Her brothers and sisters had all married into the finest families in the country and all lived well. Kindred came from neighboring towns to intercede with Harriet. Ministers called and pleaded, but all in vain. She de clared she would marry him acd go with him to his people and be a mis sionary, i 'Harris's greatest diatress was tlie meeting witb her brother Stephei. who was nearest her age and devot?d to her. She feared it would break his heart. When he came she burst into tears and refused to meet him. lie went away and did not attend (he wedding, but after it was oveilhe came and the next morning wafted upon them at breakfast and seemc I in a measure reconciled. But he c aid not see them married. I made lar riet's wedding outfit and saw i lem married. Boudinot was a very li nd some man. He had a char ing voice and was a splendid singer. He was a very brave and fearless mai for the roughs of the town had sworn bat he should never come into it a ve, and if he did be should never g< jut alive, but they were ?wedby his es ence. ' . "As a result, however, of these wo marriages the Cornwall mission si r>ol was discontinued. r "Boudinot and his wife went ti bo Cherokee nation, where two chii en were born to them. Col. Ooulc is ited them there ami was well pit ed with their surroundings, for ey lived near by to Sarah Ridge aud jir children were all happy tofcothei|nd both families had all the comforlof life and many of its luxuries, the two Cornwall girls had chosen ilst excellent husbands and had nofc grotted their, choice.

Boudinot'h real Indian name Was Kclle-kco-nab, butwhile at school at Cornwall attracted the attention of Klias Boudinot, a Philadelphia phil anthropist, who adopted him and gave him his name aud left him a large legacy in his will. Llis son, Elias 0. Boudinot. became distinguished in the nation. He was born at Vanna Valley, near Homo, Gx, in 1835, and died three years a^o at Fort Smith, iu Arkansas. BlI.L Aul?. ? ? ? - Three Lightning Stories. A party of commercial men lounged in the easy chairs in the rotunda of the Brown l*ala<e Hotel last evening. 'As I was going to remark,'.' said the cologne man, "I was traveling in Texas a few years ago, and spent a day or two at a place where a gang of men were buildiog a now railroad. There were at least two hundred of them. On this particular day a thunder storm came up and a bolt of lightning struck almost in the center of the men. A dozen or more of them were stunned by the blow and knocked down. One man, who was standing very near where the bolt struck, had his clothes burned a little. He was nil right in a few minutes, and went about his work. About quitting time he put his hand in his pocket to look at his watch, and, much to his sur prise, found his pocket empty and the bottom toru out. He went back to where he fell when the lightuing struck and found a rough chunk of diver, all that remained of his watch. The 'neat from the lightning had evi lcntly melted it, aud it burned its way through the pocket aud fell to /he ground.'' ''If that story won't convince you >n the spot, I have one that will," laid the pork-packing man of Kansas Jity. "Before 1 go further, let me state .hat this story is an actual fact and lo fooling.

A further investiga iott revealed the fact that the bolt iad struck the corner of a bed in an djoioing room, shaiterinjr the wood. Jtrange as it may seem, Mrs. Allen's lair was not even singed." The other members of the party uoved uneasily in their chairs, ex epting the Chicago man. Turning o his companions, he said: "While in Georgia a year ago last pring a darkey was struck by light ing and lives to tell the tale. He ras riding home across a cotton field uring a thunder storm when a bolt of ghtning struck him between the boulders. It ran down his back, urned a hole in the saddle, killing tic mule under him.

Nature su/ plies us with two com plete foods, niik aud eggs, which con tain in proper porportions all the ne cessary elements for the sustenance of our bodies. As these are the only complete foods, it is necessary in their absence to have mixed foods, and it is in the mixing that mistakes occur, be cause Jthe fat forming, muscle form ing and other parts are taken in wrong proportions" some iu excess ami O^crs the reverse. Left to his own i?.^e primitive man invariably selects the best food. This instinct, however, is defective at the present day. Kor children, food rich in bone forming substances is necessary. Among mus cle forming foods the following arc the best and most common : Oatmeal porridge, with rich milk ind wholemeal bread buttered ; meat is a highly condensed food of this ilass. To men of sedentary occupa tion a free use of meat is injurious. For men engaged at hard manual la bor a generous meat diet is admirable. Vegetables contain but little nour ishment, but are useful as blood puri ;r8, and also supply bulk to the food vhich is uecessary to give the con sumer satisfaction. Milk should nev sr be taken with meat., because they ire both rich in one substance. Tea thould not be taken wi .- meat, cither, tecause it renders the meat tough and udigestiblc. Beef ranks first as a nusclc former, and mutton next. *ork makes a very digestible dish, and owl and bacon are a very useful and >alatable dish, Cereals enter largely nto our diet, and are of much value, ?ecausc they supply food or starch as veil as muscle food. Potatoes oro ide little nutriment, but with plenty f milk, which supplies the precise ngredients they lack, a good diet is ormcd. Sugar is well worthy of notice, and he child's love of it is a perfectly icalthy instinct, and should always >o gratified in reason. Fruits are good ilood purifiers, and should be consid red as essential, rather than luxuries. Jeef tea contains scarcely any nutri rjent whatevor, and is almost purely . stimulant. A dog fed on beef tea tarved to death, while another fed on efuse meat throve. Tea, injurious f taken in excess, provides, if taken d moderation, a. moat refreehing trink. Many scientists recommend ts use about two hours before our rincipal meal, and without food. JorTeo is a stimulant, unlike all others, n fact, that it is followed by no reac ion.

I u\ a youug clerk in a dry goods shop who has recently come into possession of a largo fortune through the favor of an old gentleman distantly related to. hi in. The youug fellow listened with amazement to the news imparted to him by his employer and the old gen tleman's executor one afternoon. "1 suppose I must not expect your services as clerk any longer,' said the dry goods merchant with a smile. ' I shall be sorry to lose you." "Oh, I shall stay my month out, of course, sir," said the boy promptly. "1 shouldn't want to break my word just because I've had some money left me." The two older men exchanged glances.

The two men again exchanged glances, but neither said a word to spoil the boy's unconsciousness that he was takiu;: his good fortune in an unusual way.
