A Braye Indian) gerrll.
1& these days of continual grinding
of the pension mill At Washington, saya
a Lockporfc (N. Y) letter to the New
York Time, it might seem that noth
ing very new of strflngfi tfould occuf in
the adjudications of that bureau but
upon the issuing of two pension certi
ficates just received by the widow of
Joseph Cusjck, a Tuscarora Indian,
hinges a remarkable story. The widow
receives upon the3e certificates $1,137.
20 arrears at the rate of $3 per month
from the date of her husband's applica
tion, afl I pension at the same rate pel
month fof the future. It is believed
to be the only case vrhcr'e a pension
has been granted to an Indian for sei
vi xs in the war of 1812. The tribe to
which JOseph Cusick belonged is that
remnant of the onc6 powerful Tusca
roras and Yemassees of North Caro
lina, who emigrated to Central New
York before the Revolution, adhered
to the English cause, and were put to
iliglit on General Sullivan's raid in 179,
and finally settbd on a reservation o?
about four square miles in the town of
Lewiston, about nine miles from Ni
agara Fails, which they have oc -upicd
for almost a century. Nicholas Cusick,
the father of Joseph, belonged to that
pHrt of his trib i which espoused the
cause of the colonii-t? in the R volu
cionary s'ruggle. His name appears
in the accredited lists of the pension
bureau as a lieutenant of Hie New
York line, with an annual allowance
Of $240, given on account of goo I ser
vice and poverty, and granted in 1818.
He was well known to Washington and
Lafayette, and the latter, on his tour
through the then wilds of "West New
York in 1825, took pains to seek out
and take by the hand his old comrale,
Lieutenant Nifh las Cusick.
When the war of 1812 was raging
along tli3 Canadian frontier, Joseph
Cusick was a vigorous young Indian,
and, coming of such lighting stock, it
was natural for him to lake sides, and
with the remnant of his tribe he took
the side of his location. A company
or as netir a company a an organiza
tion of Indians could be was enrolled
by Chief Longboaru, and whether
actually mustered into United States
service or not, its thirty mea did con
siderable service, and wire in those
days accounted part of the army. In
December, 1813, the British and their
Indian allies took Fort Niagara,
through the treachery of its com
mandant, and, covering the whole
Niagara frontier, pursued a course of
destmction and massacre. The villages
of Lewiston, Niagara Falls and Buffalo
wpra burned, hundreds of men, women
and children were put to the hatchet,
and the inc ndiary ti.rch and the toma
hawk raged for twt nty miles east of
the river. The inhabitants fled en
masse, and one of the hhtori al scenes
of that time of terror and bloodshed
introduces Joseph Cusick. Pro ninent
in after years among the families of
the sejtion were the Cotkes, a branch
of the old Wallingford stock of Con
necticut. The father, Captain Le nuel
Cooke, was a Revolutionary soldier;
his son, Rates Cooke, was a repre
sentative in Congre s and controller
of the State. Another son, Lothrop,
had jut suffered the amputation
of a leg, and, borne on a sled, with
his two brothers attending him, he
was hurried away frcm the burning
village of Lewiston and carried on the
Ridge road toward Ratavia. A few
miles eastward of the village the party
was overtaken by a force of hosti e
Indians, ferocious with war-paint and
weapons. The foiemost was Shot
from h:"B horae by Bates Cooke. A
pause occurred and then the over
whelming and massacre of the little
party wa,? prevented by the appear
ance of Chief Longboard and his com
pany of Indians on a neighboring hill
si le. . Their war-whoop caused the at
tacking force to take at once to flight.
This was one of numerous services
rendered by Joseph Cusick anl hi3
brethren to our cause during the war,
and land warrants were granted to all
of them after the war. The question
of pensioning them upon the same
basis as other soldiers was brought up
on the application of Joseph Cusick
during the presidency of General
Grant. His application was rejected
by the commissioner on the ground
that Indians not being citizens, they
could not make affidavit. An appeid
was taken to the secretary of the in
terior, and the deciskn was affirmed.
This was commented upon as a singu
lar decision, inasmuch as thousands of
aliens receive pensions. But upon the
death of Joseph, some years later, the
application w;.s renewed for his
widow, and the present commissioner
of pensions has granted a pension as
stated above. It should be further
stated that in the interim an act of
Congress was passed authorizing In
dians to make affidavits.
Found Prepared.
A Colorado man who expected a gang
of lvnchers to come for him about the
middle of the night, took himself to
the cellar, leaving a pet grizzly bear in
his place in bed. The lynchers didn't
bring any lights, bus made a very plucky
attempt to get the bear out and lynch
it, but gave it up after three of them
had lost an eye apiece, two had Enfiered
the loss of thumb?,' chewed off, apd the
other six were more or less depriveo of
skin. That man now has a tremendous
reputation as a fighter and the bear
didn't mind the work one bit.

Curred during his service in Congress
before the War, when Senator Edward
Everett and M. deSart:ges, the French
minister, resided in adjacent houses on
G street. One even'ng, sa the guests
invited by M. de Strt ges to a dinner
party arrived, Mr. Stephens came with
them in evening 'dress. The polite
Frenchman, not having invited the
well-known represcntat ve from Geor

M, "de Sartiges went to his dining
room, told h:8 butler not to announce,
dinner until that little gentleman in
the parlor had gone, and returned
there. After wa t'ng' a quarter of an
hour, with the full knowledge that hi
good cheer was being spoiled, he again
approached Mr. Stephens, saying :
" Meestear Steven, would you like to
see me about something V"
" No, Sir! No, sirl" was the prompt
reply, and, as the disconsolate host
walked away with a gesture of despair,
ilf. Stephens said to a gentleman with
whom he was conversing:
" What does that impertinent little
Frenchman mean by thinking that I
want to talk with him V"
" That." was the reply, "is our host,
you know, and perhaps he invited-you
to have a little chat before dinner."
Our host!" eX lainr d Mr. Stephens;
" why I came here to dine with Selui
tor Everett, of Massachus itsF
The joke was too good to be kept
quiet, and after Mr. Stephens had left
the guests at the French legation
joined in the roar; he created another
hearty laugh in Mr. Everett's drawing
room next door, where the guests for
another dinner had been waiting for
his arrival. He had gotten into the
wrong house.
Us-s of the Atmosphere,
"The air we breathe "is a phrase
often used, and the most obvious nsa
of the atmosphere is, doubtless, to
furnish oxygen for the lungs of air
breathing animals ; but it serves other
and scarcely less important purposes in
nature's economy. It furnishes car
bonic acid and other requisite gases
to growing plants. As an elevator
and carrier of watery vapor from
ocean and lake and river to mountain
heights and over continents it serves
to irrigate the land and make it fruit
ful. But "it has a no loss important,
though a less obvious "use, as a vast
reservoir and distributor of the sun's
heat, moderating the intensity of his
direct rays by absorption, and thus
furnishing a warm covering for the
earth's surface. Professor S. P.
Langley, of the Alloghany observatory,
in his experiment on Mount Whitney
in 1881, found when near the summit
that the ekin of his attendants .ap
peared burned, and water in a copper
vessel was boiiwl by the dhvet rays of
the sun, while the temperature outside
of the sun's direct rays was intensely
