News: For the past ten days I lave been too busy to write, but when I come to explain the circumstances I trust my short comings, may be over- ooKeu. xne irog-Diooded truth or the matter is that I sold my lot two weeks ago and Having no place to live reserv ed the house, with the agreement to move it oif within 48 hours, as the pur chasers, young eastern capitalists, whose parents are quite wealthy in their own right, wanted begin at once the putting in of thetofoundation for a six-story structure. The first 24 hours I spent in trying to buy a lot within sight of the central part of the town tor a sum within reason, but was unable to do so, and finally leased the rear end of a bit of wound temporari- Then I placed the one-story structure containing my Lares, Penates, wife, kids and other furniture on rollers and hustled it into the street. To my surprise and discomfiture I found my humble little tenement soon surrounded and jostled about by two story buildings, that were also seeking a brief lodgment before their location was needed for marble palaces and as a consequence I have not been able to extricate myself and outfit. Under the circumstances I have no time for details, but may state that the Rock Island is entering the town as rapidly as shovel ers, scrapers and track-layers can build it; that the streets are rendered almost impassable by moving buildings of every description; that brick is being placed in the walls of substantial structures as rapidly as it can be procured and, better than all, that we are soon to have a little shindy over the county seat question.

Of. course the removal must take place sooner or later and it might as well be done quickly before Iuka is numbered among the towns that were. That even the railroad company over there regards that place as only a little bit of a way station may be inferred from the circumstance, as I am told, that the new passenger depot there is but the transferred platform of an old emigrant car. As soon as 1 get lacated 1 would like to insert a little "blow" about the me tropolis of this county. John.

New York, April 20. Jack Hopper, of this city and Mike dishing, New Jersey, lightweights, fought twenty-live rounds up Hudson river at daybreak this morning in one hour and thirty minutes. Although Cushing broke an arm in the eighteenth round, lie continued the light, but Hopper finally won the light. Up to the eighteenth round, everything seemed to be in uusmng's iavor and ins bacK ers were in high spirits but when he went to his comer it was discovered that he had broken two small bones in his wrist by striking Hopper on the head. After that round Ilopper got in much the more effective work and soon had Cushing's face a mass of raw and bleeding flesh.

Round twenty-hve and last was one of the fiercest ever seen by the sport mg people present. Young Cushing started in made a futile attempt and cut the pace in the round, swing his injured right hand with such force that he again broke it above the wrist and showing them through the skin. The injury was so apparent to Hopper and his seconds that they urged him to go in and finish his man which he did, sending in his left with terrible on the point of Cushing's jaw knocking him down. He was unable to rise in the prescrilied seconds and Hopper was declared winner. Raising, Not Razing-, the Tlata.

He knew the terms, of every treaty and upon occasions where there was a dispute he tapped his noble forehead as be told the government agents what they would find when they read from their parchments.

They always found it as lie said. There died with the late ex-Governor Horatio Seymour a fund of knowledge of the extent of the Iroquois domain that will hardly again come to light. In a letter of the date of Aug. 9, 1884, he said: The southern lino runs through the center of the colony of North Carolina, westward to the Mississippi river, thenco along that river and the course of the Illinois to the southern end of Lake Michigan, thence through the center of the lake to a point in Canada north of the great lakes, thence eastward to the Atlantic. The Buffalo Historical society has the promise of the maps obtained from the British government upon which the claim is based.

A few characteristic anecdotes of Red Jacket: The great chief was fond of a fine tomahawk. One day be brought a Buffalo blacksmith a wood model and requested a hatchet mode exactly like it "Exactly, did you say?" asked the blacksmith. "Exactly," replied Red Jacket, "and I will call for it in a week." When he cane he looked at the dnished work for a moment, glanced at the blackmith, and then with a turn of his pow erful arm buried the piuce of steel in the ceiling and walked out of the shop without saying a word. The model had no eye in it for a handle. RED JACKET'S HOME.

One day he was seated with Joseph Ellicott, agent for the Holland Land company, on a log, one end of which rested in Little Buffalo creek. They were discussing tho proposed sale by tho Indians to the company of a large tract of land. "You want it all," said Red Jacket. "I and my people are on tho water side of the log. You say, 'Get along a and we move.

Another man says the same thing, and again we along. A third one makes the request, and we go. We shall go on and on until we go into the water, and that will be the last of us." 1 In 1825, when the distinguished Lafayette visited Buffalo, Red Jacket was yet alive, and when the platform-was erected in Main street on the day of the reception to the soldiers, it was planned so that Lafayette stood in tho middle, his son at the left and the orator of the Senecas on the right. Red Jacket made a speech through an interpreter. Ho spoke English better than any man who dared face him in debate, but when there was an occasion for putting on stylo ho thought his majesty wa3 better preserved by using an interpreter.

At this time his bronzed sculp was destitute of hair, while the distinguished Frenchman was in no better shape, yet the effects of old ago in his case were hidden by a wig. Red Jacket could not undeistand it, and wa-only convinced of tho deception by being dAlowd' to examine the head gear. In 1820 an old squaw of the Senecas was convicted of witchcraft and was condemned to be tomahawked on the Lower Terrace. She had been decoyed over from Canada for the purpose. The executioners appointed shrank from their duty, which so disgusted old Tomy Jimy that he snatched the tomahawk and burled it in the woman's skull.

He was indicted in the oyer and terminer of the same year for murder in the first degree. Red Jacket was his counsel. He pleaded that the Senecas were a sovereign nation: that the crime charged was simply carrying into effect the laws of that nation. Red Jacket carried the case to the court of errors. Samuel A.

Talcott was then attorney general, and ho laughed at it being called a trial. "How long Is it, pray," retorted Red Jacket. "since your black wed jacket's monument. coated ancestors were burning witches at Salem?" Sentence was suspended, but the case led to the passage of a law asserting the rights of the state over the Seneca nation. The "Long House" is no more; Red Jacket has cone to join Old Smoke, Brant and Lo gan.

Within the limits of this city the great orator once said "When you came among us you asked for a small seat We took pity on you and granted your request, and yon sat down amongst us. We cave you corn and meat We now crave in our turn but a small seat" Again "Did I not tell you that while Red Jacket lived you would get no more land from the Indians? How, then, while you see him alive and strong do you think to make him a liar?" Upon another occasion he said: "We first knew you a feeble plant which wanted a little earth whereon to grow: We gave it to yon; and afterward, when we could have trod yon under oar feet, we watered and protected you, and now yon have grown to be a mighty tree, whose top reaches the clouds and whose branches overspread the whole land; whilst we, who were then the tall pine of the forest, have become the feeble plant, and need your protection. When you first came here, yon clung around our knee, and called us father. We took yon by the hand and called yon brothers. Yon have grown greater than we, so that we no longer reach up to your hand.

But we wish to cling around your knee and be called your children. Again in a burst of indignation with his revolutionary warriors about him bo said: "It was not our qnarreL We knew not that yon were right We asked not We cared not It was enough for us to know that yon were our brothers. We fought and bled for yon.

ill INE A GREAT INDIAN CHIEF AND LAST RESTING PLACE. HIS Special Buffalo, N. April 11. A few days ego, in strolling through the Buffalo courts, I noticed the name of Nicholas Jem- ison as defendant In a criminal action, I was interested, for the name Jomlson to a student of Indian history is always interesting. Four miles from Buffalo is the old Indian, burying ground, once the last resting place of the chiefs of the Senecas.

A little to the north of the entrance was the gravo of Red Jacket On the opposite side was a soli' tary white stone marking the grave of "The White Woman," Mary Jemison. Here they lay, stern warriors sleeping beside their feeble victim. Old Tom Jemison, the character of days on the Niagara frontier, had a son Chauncey, who was educated at Hamilton College and married a white girl there. My acquaintance of the criminal court is a Mneil descendant of "The White Woman." The young man is a perfect specimen of the Senecas; and a queer thing about him, I find, is that he has, contrary to the customs of his people, adopted a trade and supports himself as a carpenter. The event of the century to Buffalo lovers of Indian lore was the burial of Red Jacket.

The proposition was made as far back as 1863 by Chief Strong. His burning words were not forgotten: "Gather up tenderly the bones of Rod Jacket, Cornplontor, Young King, Pollard and their brother chieftains and bury them in yonder cemetery, where the plow of the husbandman will not invade their repose. There in sight of their own beautiful river, and under the shadow of the trees they loved so much, our sachems will Bleep well." The reinterment took place on Oct. 0, 1884. The afternoon before council of the Six Nations of the Iroquois was held, accompanied by affecting ceremonies.

Red Jacket's casket was opened and his bones were viewed for the last time. The next morning six hearses started for Forest Lawn, and with impressive ceremonies the bones of Red Jacket, Capt. Pollard, Destroy Town, Young King, Little Billy and Fall Peter were buried. As it was of Red Jacket I started out to speak, I may begin by presenting Ins picture, it is from Hicks' copy of the original oil painting by R. W.

Wier, the only truthful portrait in existence. RED JACKET. This famous painting was presented to the Buffalo Historical so- ciety by Isaac Sherman. The tomahawk he holds in his right hand was presented to him by Gen. George Washington for distinguished services in the revolutionary war.

It was purchased by the Historical society for $500, and is the most valuable article in the mammoth collection of Indian relics. The blade on one side is engraved: "Red Jacket, So-go-yc-wat-lia, died Jan. 20, 1881." On the reverse side is traced: "Big Kettle, Gan-ot-yo-wah-ah; died Aug. 30, The handle is of snake wood, with silver mosaics. Red Jacket was very proud of the present, and used it exclusively as a pipe.

The record on the tomahawk is a mistake, for Red Jacket died on Jan. 20, 1830. The monument to be erected over his grave at Forest Lawn will be a grand affair. The epitaph reads: "The resolute champion of a wronged and helpless people the inspired orator the 'Rienzi' of the Iroquois." Besides there are to be several quotations from his speeches: "When I am gone, and my warnings are no longer heard, the craft and avarice of the white man will prevail. My heart fails me when I think of my people, so soon to be scattered and forgotten." Another reads: "Who, then, lives to mourn us? None! What marks our extermination? Nothing!" The first stone erected over the grave of Red Jacket was the testimonial of the noted French comedian, Henry Placide, who was afterward a passenger on the doomed steamer President on her last voyage.

The inscription reads: "The friend and protector of his people. Died Jan. 20, 1832, aged 78 years. Erected by The date by Placide is another confusing error. Maj.

F. H. Furness, of Waterloo, N. has erected at Canoga, Seneca county, a stone to mark the place of Red Jacket's birth. It consists of a red granite boulder, from which projects a white marble arrow head.

The present sachem of the Senecas is Gen. Eli S. Parker of 100 Mulerry street, New York. He was Gen. Grant's military secretary during the war, and drew the terms oi the capitulation between Grant and Lee at i Richmond.

Yet he is a full blooded Seneca. He wears on his bronzed breast every day of fts life the silver medal presented to Red Jacket by Georgo Washington. It is now dressed in black and white wampum, by which be daily reads the illustrous history of his people. The medal is seven inches long by five inches brood. The design is here truthfully presented.
