The Vlcloua Chigger.
The season has arrived when the
guy and festive chiller is (retting
in his noblest work. It is harvest
time with this troublesome little
insect, and it never fails to attnek

haunts,
According to the dictionary the
chigger is "n small, troublesome
insect, of the tleu kind, which iodgr
es between the skin and the tleah."
It is visible to tlm eye, but is so
small it appears like a minute red
speck. 11 begins work soon after
it. lights on its victim and iH but a
short time in making its presence
known. The skin is poisoned and
red splotchos appear. Scratching
is, of course, the first thing thought
of, but it gives only momentary relief
and if one has only a limited
time to devote to the operation he
had better grit his teeth and take
it easy.
One uJ the best muddies for the
' chigger bite is a solution of suit
and water, briny almost; or salty
grease. Coal oil is one of tho statu
dard remedies and camphor will
stop the itching and kill the insect
if applied early in the attack,

TUB CATAWBA INDIANS.
An Interesting Story ot the Tribe from
The Interlude" ?the Woman's Edltlon
of the Ne?* and Courier.
The Catawba Indians nro supposed
to have emigrated to South
Carolina from Canada, according
to tradition, in 1000, numbering
12,000. In 1700 they numbered
l,.r)00 brave warriors, with 8,000 or
10,000 souIr in their nation. The
Catawbns were a noble race, fearless
of enemies; their address was
surpassed by none. Constant wars
with the Cherokees, Shawnees and
other tribes, together with the
smallpox scourge, depleted their
numbers greatly. In 1747 the province
of South Carolina allotted
them fifteen miles square in York
and Lancaster districts. About
1840 a treaty was made between
South Carolina and the Catawba
Indians, the State buying nil the
land claimed by theCutnwbns. and
afterwards lnpmg off seven liundred
acres on the west bank of* ( Kswu
Tarora) Catawba river, six miles
south of Fort Mill and ten miles
I from ltock Hill.
The Catawba Indians, although a
wartlike nation, wore ever the
friends of the white settlers. They
aided and fought with the Americans
in the Revolutionary war; in !
1780 some of the Catawbus went to I
Virginia and attached themselves j
to (-ien. Lee's legion and fought
with him. After the battle at
! Guilford Court House, North Caro- !
lina, the Indians came back to
South Carolina. The Catawbus |
fought Hide by side with our Con- !
federate Boldiers and made good !
soldiers; they were the most faith- |
tui and true fnetuls to the wliit*? I
people, and are the only Indiana
who continue to live in the State
today. ()n the hanks of the sparkling
Catawba lives the remnant of
the once powerful tribe of the Catawbas.
Seventy-five or eighty .
men, women and children constitute
the entire nation. They receivo
a small annuity from the
State.
In the last two years a school has
been taught with poor attendance.
Now ami then a Presbyterian minister
preaches to the Indiana.'
The men hunt and tiah and have
small fields of potatoes; they are
miserably poor; the women make
the queerest, quaintiost peace
pipes, vases, pots, bowls. They
are made in the crudest way, with
the hand and knife, cut of clay, and
then burned. The Indian women
hriug the vessels to Hock Hill in
great bundles to sell, and this is
their only income; how grateful
they are for a cup of cold water
after trudging ten weary miles.
! The women cook in the clay vessels
and use them in the culinary
departments. The women
are striking looking, with perfectly
erect forms, finely cut features,
I LI I- I
nun*k nair, penetrating eyea
and teeth like ivory. Some of the
children are beautiful in all their
poverty. It whh my privilege to
visit the Catawlm Nation a few
montliH ago with Dr. Carlisle and
Mr. Hull.
"The most pathetic figure in the
Houth are the Catawba Indiana,
with no history and no hope for
the future of their people." One
of Indian women told ua many interesling
facta of their living. We
inaiatud on her Hinging an Indian
aotig. After much perauaaiou alio
began a low, Had chat in the worda
of her forefathera. Presently alie i
broke down and wept, Haying it
hurt her heart to think of her peo- j
p|e all gone. Dr. Carliale waa re- '
minded of another incident that j
took place twenty-five centuries
ago, which waa celebrated in a lit- !
tie Hebrew poeill. A little change
would anil, the Cutawlms:
' lly the rivers of Carolina there
we ant down, yea we wept when
we remembered our goodly land, j
"We hanged our rude inatru- i
incuts on the branches of the trees.
For they that had captured ua and
our homes required of ua mirth,
| saying, Hing ua one of the songs of
our people."
These facts ought to make us
willing to help the Indians ami;
make them more comfortable. Capt
Samuel White, of Fort Mill, S. t\;
has most generously erected a monument
to t lit* Cat aw ha Indians ami
Iiuh had the mimeH of the brave '
warriors who fought in the Con-1
federate war placed on the monument.
Some of tho most nottnl
Indians were King Hagler, Gen.
Now River, Killy George ami
Peter Harris, and the women wero ;
Sally New Kiver and Polly Ayera.

Statistics.

My son, Cow-re-adha-ree.

dains to talk, the sounds of words
are very full of melancholy and

Harper Thomasson, a negro man,
who has been sentenced to four
months on the chain gang by Magistrate
Anderson, of Kbenezer, was
inarched through the city Wednesday
on his way to serve his sen
tence.
The infant of Mr. Dobson, who
is super'nteiidant of Ashe's brick
yard, sustained painful and periiapH
very serious injuries to its right
hand Tuesday by n sash falling on
it; crushing and lacerating the
hand. Dr. Fennell auended the
little sufferer and is fearful that !
the hand may be stiff.
A movement is on foot to organ- i
izo an Indian village at the Char- j

with the Indiana to hold a conference
in this city nt an early date,
when tho plan will he explained to
them. The village, it is expected,
will be composed of 'JO or 25 men,
women and children, embracing all
the pure blood Indians whonro not
too old and infirm to make the trip.
At a meeting of the board of directors
of the exposition company, !
held in Charleston on Friday last,
the board concurred in tho suggestion
of an Indian village andagreed
to furnish the I minus transportation
from Rock Hill to Charleston
and give them a remote location, j
where they will be expected to
support themselves by making and
selling pots, pipes and the curios, i
peculiar to the Catawbas. The In- ,
dians manifest some interest in the
matter, though it is hard to tell
when the Catawbas are pleased for
Indian characteristics are stongly
manifested in the Catawbas?they
seldom laugh and exhibit in their
faces neither love, fear nor joy, and
yet they are capalilo of a strong
feeling of affection and their record
as Revolutionary and Confederate
soldiers shows that they are totally |
fearless in battle and in the face of
appalling dangers, while persons
famillinr with their life say it is
true that the pure bloods but selil/tlll

He- ni to l>e joyous, and nt the snuie
time their conduct shows that they
are capable of that feeling also.
An effort will bo made to organize
a part of the tribe for the purpose
mentioned, accepting only such as
show up well as Indians. They
are very poor and if they go it will
be necessary to do much for thefu.
for they would hardly be capable
of sustaining themselves, oven, by
the sale of their curios. '
