Why She Wanted to Get Left.

“ Oh, dear!” said a pretty young woman, who was hurrying along on the stone pier one hot Sunday afternoon to catch the Coney Island boat, “ oh, dear! i wish I could get left.” She looked very unhappy and very warm, and, although there was a roguish smile on her face as she spoke, there was also a sort of piteous protest against the fact cf continued existence, that was only to be explained by the rapidity with which the. mercury was rising. Her escort looked equally unhappy; but m his ease tho inward protest against the brutal nature of the weather took tho form of an evident burning desire to be profane. He had apparently been well dressed when lie started, but had thrown away his cuffs and was carrying liis coat iVtiw 16 hi 3 collar in the other. vv hat on earth do you want to got left for?” said he. “Why,then it would be a, cold day,” said she, demurely. He glared at her, speechless with indignation, and they passed on. —New York Herald.

A WILD WOMAN.

A North Carolina Cannibal That Feeds on Babies. A Tale Like the Stories Told in the * Great Forests of the Old Country. [Charlotte (N. C.) Telegram to Chicago Tribune.] For months past th; re have • eea rumors of a terrible apparition, which has terrorized all the women and children in Clear Creek township The women say that for two weeks they have been subject to terrifying visits in the absence of their husbands .from a creature like a shiny, black negress, with long hair and gleaming eyes. She asks in hardly distinguishable gibberish for a baby to eat, and makes efforts to get hold of the children. The men, getting tired of the fears of their wives, determined to try and cat- h the > reature, and for the last week crowds of farmers have been daily and nigh Jy chasing her without success. The first effort to catch her was made a week ago by John Boberts, a blacksmith. The wild creature had appeared several times at afire which it was the habit of Carey Moore (colored) of the neighborhood to light alter dark ini he yard*of hs house for the preparation of his meals Roberts w s put to watch her, and she appeared even before the fames were well kindled, t-he presented suck a wild look in the halflight. and asked for food in such wild fashion, that Roberts was demoralized He recovered, however, made an outcry, and attempted to seize the woman, but she slirped through his hands, and disappeared in the dark shadows of the woods Tuesday morning Maj. Stephen Cowell caught sight of the creature, and chased her across an open field. He was badly hurt in hi« efforts to keep up with her, and reported that she outran a buck, and cleared four corn-rows at a leap. That same night she was again enticed from the woods by the k ndling of a fire, and was chased by thirty men without success. Capt Marsh Alien, later in the day, met her in the neighborhood with her faqe tom and bleeding, and a long bloody knife in her hand. The creature was naked and so unearthly and terrible-looking to him that he says he is not sure it is a human being. Her hair reached almost to her feet, and was kinky like that of the African. It is not mere fright which has caused the country people to organize in their attempts to catch the creature, which has been living in the forest and swamp fastnesses for a year or more. Some months ago it is reported an infant was spirited away from its parents’ yard while they were in the corn-field, and was never heard from, and the disappearance was from that section of the country in which the wi d woman has been seen, and mothers, white aud black, are in terror for fear their little one - may also become food lor the cannibal negress. Yesterday the fanners, some mounted and others on loot, assembled for the pua pose of surrounding a swamp in which the creature is known to be hid. There are 400 men ready for the chase. At first it was attempted to run her down with bloodhounds, but they refused to cliaSe her, which deepened the superstitious feeling with which the men as weil as the women of the communiiy began to regard her. The men made the attempt to catch her, but without success. The excitement among the nearest and simple county folk is intense.

Wiener-Wurst.

Coming down street, I ran across the “ man < one of the night characteristics of this city.* Do you know what “Wiener-wurst” is? It is highly German and looks like a sausage, which it in fact is, loaded w ith

garlic and onions, and, unth one has taken on the Cincinnati acclimatization, the smell has a tendency to asphyxiate the victim. It is kept in a tin can or box at the street comers, and is always served piping hot, with a broadside of bread, price 5 cents. Dickey * tried it* just once for the sake of adventure, and, with an ugly face, tusked me as she spat it out: “Why do they call it Wiener-worst, Mary Jane?” “Because there jus no Wiener best, Dickey, dear,” she said. —Mary Jqne, in Courier-Journal.

INDIAN BUREAU.

Report of the Commissioner of lniH«i» Affairs. Commissioner Price, of the Indian Bureau, in his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1882, says: “Land has been opened to cultivation, houses for Indian residences built, schools opened and operated, and in many cases and in various ways the cause of civilization generally advanced. The difficulty of procuring. Agents of the right stamp is regarded as one of the most import nt causes which operate to retard the improvement of the Indiana” The co-operation of the religions societies is regarded by the Commissioner as a very important auxiliary in the civilization of the Indians, and he points to the benefits derived from their work during the past few veara The present appropriations are regarded as entirely too small to compass ends to be obtained within a reasonable time.' The Commissioner says: “If $1,000,000 for educational purS oses given now will Bave several millions i future, it is wise economy to give that million at once, and not dole it out in small sums that do but little good. ” The evils of cash annuities are commented upon, and an instance given where, after a cash payment rto the Utes, $2,000 were spent for firearms, ammunition and whisky in Salt Lake City, and in a short time nine-tenths of the payment went in the same direction. The funds appropriated by Congress in the regular appropriation bill for the support ot the Indians proved entirely insufficient, mainly owing to the high price of b es and flour. The total number of Indians in the United States exclusive of Alaska is 262,366. The Commissioner comments in severe terms upon the iniquity of tbe liquor traffic among the Indians, and quotes many instances of trouble arising from it. He recommends greater stringency in the laws on the subject, and says those sections of thfe statutes which allow army officers to introduceliquor Into the Indian country should be repealed. The report declares there is urgent necessity for additional legislation to prevent intrusion upon Indian landa Exclusive of the five civilized tr lies, the wlio e number of Indian pupils attending school the past year has been 8,51:8. Of the-e 468 were in attendance at the Carlisle, Hampton and Forest Grove training-schools. Of the remainder, 4,510 attended reservat on boar iug-schools and 3,997 reservation day-schools. The average attendance lor the year was 5.249. Industrial training is carried on at agency board-ing-schools, and is receiving more and more attention each year. In connection with fifty-seven schoo s, 1,4-8 ’acres are under cultivation. Biacksmitiling, tai oring and harnes making are taught at four schools. Seven teach shoemaking, ten carpentering, and fifte n r sing and care of sro k. Training in tese branches is l 1 reatly stimulated by the succe s of experiments at Carlisle, Hampton and Forest, . .rove. An appropriation of not less t.ian SSO,(X) should be made by Congress a its next session to properly equip the exist, ng agency schools for industrial work The whole number of schoo. sin operation is It 1 or five leas than last year. An Irish antiquarian has reconstructed from old title deeds and surveys the fact that Dublin once had its Thing, or popular assembly of Scandinavian freeholders; its Thingmount, or. hill on which the assembly met, had its hangman’s hill close by. The Scandinavians settled Dublin in' force. The late Mr. Charles Haliday showed in his recently published book that the old names stood as testimony to that fact up to a comparatively late date. Paul Boyton figures up that ho has sg,ved seventy-two persons from, drowning in his day, and the largest reward ever offered him was a silver-plat-ed watch worth about $3.
