~ - a REFLECTIONS. zssKferesrs
1t seems TO me that the worst way to get
rid of great evils is 10 avoid considering
them; and the next to the worst way is to
treat them in prurientvein, merely for the
sake of attracting attention. Here, for IN
stance, is an evil so great that it has almost
acquired the dignity of an institution"
existing all over this great city, within a
stones throw Of the abodes of the rich and
the refined. Every thinking mind must be
convinced of its powerfully degrading m
fuence upon young men, 10 say nothing OF
the fallen of the other sex, whose manner OF
life is in a manner applauded by the ripen-
ing success Of that scheme which facilitates
their infamy. Yet, further than now and
then a raid on the part of the police, no
steps are taken to extinguish the evil. The
truth is, that legislation never can stop that
which is simply an excrescence of diseased
society. The body must be cured, or the
sore will run; and we must look for a ply
stefan among the interesting philanthropy
Of the age.
1t seems only reasonable, then, that
the nature Of the disease should be known,
and / shall not hesitate hereafter, through
false delicacy, to give you the dark as well
as the bright side of New York life, if you
care TO read it.

PHoToGRAPHEs AS DETECTIVES. - A
stranger came to the Elm House in Andover
recently, for a nights lodging. He was re-
spectacle enough in appearance, and when
the morning came, ate his breakfast and paid
his bill in an orthodox manner. He casually
remarked TO the proprietor, while doing so,
that he would 60 over to Lawrence. "Nery
wei, |" said the proprietor, am go with you"
The guest asked in some establishment what
that means. The establishment was perhaps
heightened by the fact that the proprietor is
one Of the constables of the town. In reply
he was shown a warrant for his arrest and
his own photograph. 1t appears that he
had been years ago resident of Andover;
had gone from there 10 New York, where he
served in the capacity of clerk; had stolen
seventeen hundren dollars and decamped,
finding his way back to his native town,
where he supposed himself forgotten. The
New York detectives, thinking such turn
of affairs not improbable, had forwarded the
warrant and the photograph, that they might
be on hand to welcome hifn.--BoSton l1iunS-

THE FANCY MAN,
for want of a better name. lie belongs 70
the diocese of ST. Giles, but he is dressed
expensively. He Is Gcnevive's real lover:
for like Manon Lescant in the story, she sells
her favors to obtain wealth for a mean dog
like this to spend, simply because she loves
him. This man may not appear very strik-
ing 10 you at first sight, but you do not look
deep enough For il is not only that his
boots are well made, but also that this poor
girls prostitution paid for them; his linen is
spotless, his trousers and overcoat elegant,
but they all came in the same way. He is
made up Of her loathsome earnings, and all
the food he eats, the cigars he smokes, and
the money which he loses at faro comes Sspm
this source. You will not, therefore, be Sur
prised 20 learn that he has moro than once
been arrested for cruelty beating her. for
there is no action too mean, no ingratitude
too base for being 30 contemptible.
But the fact that he Is Jenkinss joytroub-
ling ghost is what most concerns us at the
present time. The former is man OF some
culture, but you see he shrinks as the ghost
approaches the table, and covers, Tor the
spectre, after all, IL nothing moro than a
blackmailer Of vulgar instincts. He and the
girl have long known the story Of embczzle-
ment; and together they fasien upon the
guilty wretch, like two blood-suckers as they
are. But we have no time TO notice them
further, for. il is now two o'clock A. NJ, and

Flour and Christ la nifty ns Indian
ExaermimnaOr~.

A Denver Colorado correspondent Of the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican says, after
describing an Indian treaty tina, had just
been made:
The tribe cf the Mintoh utes, with whom
the treaty was made, is small remnant OF
few hundred, and what was only a ies years
ago a powerful tribe. Contact with Tho
Mormons and tlour has neatly destroyed the
tribe The idea advocated by Brigham Young
that a sack OF Hour will kill more lndi ms
than a kcg Of powder. seems TO be correct,
q least so far as the experience Of the tribes
about Salt Lake goes. A wild Indian lives
on lean meat alone without salt. and 30 long
as he has 10 depend on what be can kill he
10 healthy, and though the tribe may not
increase in number yet they hold their own.
But make treaty with them, and pay them
as the Gov rninent does, N salt, bacon, su
gar and -four, and the Indian becomes lazy
and n bcggar, while the change Of food
brings with it diseases which were unknown
70 the Indian before, and which, with the
namelcss diseases he gets from contact with
the whites, soon Gnlsh of his mortal career.
Keep an Indian with his family among
the settlements, and the chances are that in
three years there will not be one lett. So
long rs we are at war with them they are
driven to theii natural state, and rs in al
most every case they have whipped our
troops with very small los Of life to them
selves. they are gaining in numbers, ut least
gaining over the condition Of things that ex
lists in time Of peace. The experience
men who have lived longest amongst them
shows that the tribes that are in contact
with the whites diminish at the rate o, ten
per cent. per annum. Were It an object TO
preserve them the best way to do it would
be to fight them; but determination, speedy
and effective, 10 desired, no plan could bc
devised more effective than the one now
practiccd by the Indian Department. Du-
ring the Indian war Of last year it cost the
Government about 100000 apiece to kill
Indians, while il 10 estimated that II cost the
missionary board about 500 apiece to con-
vert heatheus Az . matter Of economy

long before they were converted, they would
