Popular CLOTHIER 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. 7th an At tko Wrong Honse. The late Alexander H. Stephens had a keen sense, of "the ridiculous, and used to relate anscd ;tes from his own experience to amuc hi Iriends; One which he wa; very fond of telling cc 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 gia, a ked him if he wished to con Verse with him on any subject. "TNTn thank vou." reulied Mr. Stephens, who went on the other cruGsts. .w, -.... , ;ji(tubiii Minn 1fr! TT'l'J 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 colri An indignant landlord writes that he adopted coils of fire escape rope in "the bedrooms, and that three guests suc cessfully escaped, though there was no fire.
