A scene n new YORK

a scene
The following narrative is given in an article
in Partisan paper, treating Of the gradual ex'
t'nctlon .! savage life upon this continent
The Courier des Etats Unis," the French pa.
~ in New York, is thronged every day with
Indians, who come to ask for admission into civ.
liked life.
One day there entered Comanche. The
tribe of Comanches is the most warlke in Amer
ica.
"Pale-face." said the Indian; "are you the ed.
itor of the Courier des Fiat Unisg
YES" said the pale-face, seizing chair to
hold as rampant between him and his visitor
until he had declared his intentions.
+ The Comanche smiled.
Lower your weapon" said he, 81 come to

your boots for living. Stand aside! Let ME
pass into your dressing room to wash of my
war paint. l will leave my tomahawk, mean
time, on your table,"
So saying he passed into the editors private
apartment.
Enter Cherokee.
'Pale-face!n he said, "are you the editor Of
the Courier des Etats Unis?"
"Red-face, ami"

ilization."
'.Friend from the wilderness, / will"
THANK you! And as pledge of my good
intentions, here is my collection Of scalps which,
in various late encounters, have taken from
the heads OF my enemies. One-that is quite
fresh, you see-I have just taken, as cana up
stairs, from the Office clerk below"
"What! How? Why, red-face, you don't
mean to say you have scalped my head cerk!"
"Of course do. He sounded the war-whoop
by refusing to let me come unannounced to your
presence. 1t was my duty to the honor of my
tribe to scalp him for such an insult"
'Oh, red man!-to scalp a man is to wrong
him"
''Ahl ah!-unless he is your enemy But cri-
ticise no more my manners, till you have civil
lied me. From to-day will cease scalping, and
brush your boots for my living"
The Cherokee stood aside, and enter Della
ware, an Apache, Blackfoot, Pierce-nosc,
and Sioux.
All brought bear skins, war clubs, scaps, and
bows and arrows, and in their various dialects
they cried:
1 "Civilize us, and we will brush your boots!"
And suddenly with one thought they precip-
itated themselves upon the boots of the editor,
and fought for the possession OF them with such
fury that they were all soon dead upon the
floor!

extending from the latter post to the scene of
the Indian depredations in Iowa. The line is
fully protected, and is drawn west Of the white

will be thoroughly efficient should any of the
outlawed Indians again attempt to visit the FROM

II IL amusing, but somewhat dZu5 ling, TO see
Whist efforts are making in nsAny Of the Eastern
! aud Middle States, to stay the mighty food of
| emigration which 10 continually pouring west
ward. The newspapers are In full chorus, de-
pioring the extravagant speculations in Wes-
tern land, and predicting "crises," collapser, !"
"revusions" &C., &C., wherein aii the G.,cied
landed wealth OF the country ID to be anaihiiat.
ed, or at least 80 crippled thati require sew
| eral hard and weary years TO recover.
There is strong reason for the course Of these
prophets Of evil. They see their own States
losing, by thousands, the very best population
they have-brave, adventurous and enterprising.
They see these their best citizens, selling out"
collecting all the money and means they can
get. and departing to pitch their tents for the
future in the great West They see the drain
in population-they feel the drain in wealth--the
merchants and tradesmen of the older States
cannot but perceive the drain in commerce, BY
the lesscning circles Of their yearly business =
II isa palpable and painful tact--the old States
are suffering a terrible drain on all their re-
sources, and the West is receiving the incom.
ing food Of wealth. Hence the vigor and We
loc!ty of Western growth. Hence the rapid rise
in Western lands. Hence the astonishing
growth of Western towns and cities II is the
demand for Western real estate to accommo-
uate Tue wants OF the living lQe from the East,
that causes the quick advance in Western pri-
ces, and gives occasion for those frequent mar
velous specuiatons that startle the settled COM
munitics of the old States and draw forth the
predictions of revulsion and ruin upon our
heads.
No fair comparison can be made between the
present times and the speculative times OF 1896,
with which comparison is often attempted. In
1896 there was great speculative fever pre-
vailing, but it went ahead Of population. Wild
lands were bought but no hands came forth to
till them.
Now it is different Such emigration was
never known in the history of the world, as is
now pouring into the Mississippi Valley. The
hands are here and they want land to till Hun
dreds Of thousands are tilling their new lands,
and they demand new towns to trade with and
sell their products to. This is sound state of
things. 1t betokens no undue excitement, and
bodies no ruin to the West. There can be no
back.set to the West until good Western farm.
ing lands get far above the price Of good farm
ing lands in the eastern States. There must be
an equilibrium before there can be revulsion.
While good farms in New England, Ohio or Ken
lucky command $40 per acre, and equally good
nay, far better--lands can be had for IS to
$40 in the Western States, the rush of emigra-
ton must still 60 on, and the West grow daily
richer and stronger and greater.-St. Louis In
