Charles III. During the intervals of his grave occupations he took part in editing the " Benova- teur," and contributed political articles to the " Quotidienne." In 1884 he published a transla- tion of a work by Col. Hamilton, " Sur les homines et les moeurs des Etats-Unis." He had planned several important works, which his premature death prevented him from accomplishing.
DUTCHER, Addison Porter, physician, b. in
Durham, Greene co., N. Y., 11 Oct., 1818; d. in
Cleveland, Ohio, 30 Jan., 1884 He was educated
in the school of Benjamin Romain, began the
study of medicine in New York city, and in 1839
was graduated at the New York College of physi-
cians and surgeons. After practising in Cooks-
burg, N. Y.. and New Brighton, Pa., he established
himself at Enon Valley, N. Y.. in 1847. and re-
mained there until 1864, when he accepted the
chair of the pi'inciples and practice of medicine in
Charity hospital medical college, Cleveland, Ohio,
which he held for two years. Since 1866 he has
practised medicine in Cleveland. He was active
in the movement for the abolition of slavery, and
has taken a prominent part as a speaker and writer
in that for the prohibition of the sale of intoxicat-
ing liqiiors. He has published " Selections from
my Portfolio. com]>i'ising Lectures and Essays on
Popular and Sci('ntiti<' Subjects " (Pittsburg, 1858) ;
" Pulmonary Tuberculosis " (Philadelphia, 1876) ;
" Sparks from the Forge of a Rough Thinker "
(Cleveland, 1880) ; " Two Voyages to Europe "
(1884) ; papers on " Epidemic Dysentery " and
" Incision of the Uterine Neck," and lectures de-
livered at the Charity hospital.
DUTCHER, Jacob Conkling, clergyman, b. in
1820; d. in Springfield, :\lass., 27 Nov.,' 1888. He
was graduated at Rutgers, and at the theological
seminary. After holding pastorates in Kew Jer-
sey, and from 1858 till 1866 in various churches
of New York city, he was settled in 1868 in Bound
Brook, N. J., and was subsequently ajtpoiiited
U. S. consul at Port Hope, Canada. He pub-
lished " Requisites of National Greatness " (1843) ;
" Sketch of Captain Demming,"' written at the re-
quest of the New York legislature (1864) ; *' The
Prodigal Son " (1870) ; " Our Fallen Heroes " ;
" Washington," an oration (1872) ; " Tlie Old Home
by the River " (1874) ; "America: Her Danger and
Safety" (1875); and "Frank Lyttleton, or Win-
ning his Way."
DUTCHY, an Apache Indian. He was a member
of Geronimo's band, and one of the most vindic-
tive of his race. When the band submitted to Gen.
Crook in 1885, Dutchy showed the sincerity of his
peacemaking by entering the U. S. cavalry as a
scout. He tiirned the knowledge, skill, and dar-
ing that had made him a formidable foe into such
use that he soon became famous. He was unerr-
ing in the use of the rifle, and claimed that he
never missed his mark. He became especially at-
tached to Capt. Emmet Crawford, of the 3d cav-
alry, and attended him in the treacherous attack
when Crawford was killed. Dutchy sprang for-
ward, laid his dead master on the ground, and
killed not only the Mexican who had shot him,
but the commanding officer of the Mexican de-
tachment to which the slayer belonged. He is
ranked as one of the most faithful as well as dan-
gerous scouts in the western service.
DUTERTRE, Jean Baptiste, clergyman, b.
in Calais, France, in 1610; d. Paris in 1687. He
served at first on board the Dutch fleet, then en-
tered the array, and was present at the taking of
Maestricht in 1633. After escaping numerous
dangers, he went to Paris and entered the Dominican order in 1635. The confidence of his superiors in his piety and knowledge of affairs induced them to send him on a mission to the Antilles in 1640. There he passed eighteen years, returning to France several times in the spiritual interests of the new colonies. He not only preached to the natives, but gave useful advice to the authorities, as-
sisted in maintaining peace and order, and care-
fully took notes of all that was interesting or curi-
ous in his surroundings. After his return to
France he made preparations for publishing the
history of the islands he had visited. In 1656 the
Work was interrupted by an invitation from a M.
de Cerillac, who wished to form a colony in Amer-
ica, and for that purpose asked Dutertre to go to
that continent and, as his agent, with Duparquet,
purchase the island of Grenada. He yielded re-
luctantly. His ship had hardly left port when it
was captured by the English and Taken to Plym-
outh. His friends obtained his liberty, and also
letters-patent ordering his effects to be restored.
" But," he says, " one knows not what it is to find
one's self in a country like that. My robbers, seeing
that I was tired of such a melancholy residence
and ready to abandon everything to get out of it,
kept the letters, and never spoke of them until
after my departure." To avoid such difficulties in
future, he embarked at Texel, and landed safely at
Martinique. Then, having examined Grenada and
concluded the purchase of the island, he returned
to France toward the close of 1657. In pursuance
of his promise to Cerillac, he sailed from Havre
with him for America ; but a terrible storm forced
the ship to put into an English port, when Duter-
tre abandoned the enterprise and returned to
France. He was sent to the convent of Tulle,
where he remodelled his work and added to it the
new documents he had procured. He was after-
ward recalled to the house of his order in Paris.
His works are " Ilistoire generaledes iles St. Chris-
tophe, de la Guadeloupe, de la Martinique et au-
tres de I'Amerique, ou Ton verra I'etablissment des
colonies francjoises dans ces iles, leurs guerres civ-
iles et etrangeres, et tout ce qui se passe dans le
voyage et retour des Indes," containing a transla-
tion into Carib of several prayers of the church
(Paris. 1654), and "La vie de Ste Austreberte, pre-
miere abbesse de Tabbaye de Pavilly, pres de Rou-
en, tiree de I'ancien manuscrit de Sainte-Austre-
berte de Montreuil sur mer " (1659). He wrote also
" Histoire generale des Antilles " (1667-'70, 4 vols.).
The first comprises a narrative of all that passed
in the founding of French colonies in the Antilles
from 1625 to 1667, and also the natural history of
the islands, as well as curious details concerning the
savages, Creoles, and negroes, and has often been laid
under contribution by writers on natural history.
DUTRA E MELLO, Antonio Francisco (doo-
tra-a-inayl'-yo), Brazilian poet, b. in Rio Janeiro,
8 Aug., 1823 ; d. 22 Feb., 1843. At an early age
he lost his father, but through the efforts of his
mother he finished his education. In his spare
hours he cultivated poetry, writing verses that
have be'en pronounced among the best productions
of American poets. He was a corresponding mem-
ber of the Polytechnic society of Paris, and mem-

DUTTON, Aaron, clergyman, b. in Watertown, Conn., 21 May, 1780; d. in New Haven, Conn., in June, 1849. He was prepared for college by the
