-Delos G.. Samdertson, who was
scalped at the battle of YVashita, and
was at a hospital in Laramie ever
since, thus deS&ibed the process OF
losing his top knot to a Detroit re-
porter: The Indians stepped one
foot on my chest, and with his hand
gathered up the hair near the crown
of my head. He wasn't very tender
about it, but iefked my head this way
and that, and pinched like Satan. My
eyes We're partially open, and could
see the bead-work and trimming on
his leggings, Suddenly, | felt the

just as if my whole head had been
jerked clean OFF, | never felt such pain
in all my life; why, il wa, like pull
ing your brains right out. didn't
know any more for two or three days,
and then | came to, to find that had
the sOrest head of any human that
ever lived. If the boys killed the
viper, they didn't get back my scalp;
perhaps it got lost in the snow, was
shipped down to Laramie after a bit,
and ali the nursing hain't made the
hair grow out on this spot yet" ~
DR.. Thomas W. Organ, who al
ready dates from Eden Home, thinks
that the millennium of dress is about
to dawn. He gives indication of this
in an article on dress reform (Which
he sends to the IOblaR's AdrOc0te)
taken from a College Magazine pub
lished in Iowa. This is the way he
introduces it: When the universities
and colleges of our country begin in
earnest 10 discuss the dress question,
the Goddess of Fashion, with her
sickly, silly host, had hetter be pre-
pairing to retreat to the tune Of the
Dead March, CrinOline will col
lapse, trails will secede, skirts viii
contract, ON the ascending scale, ,corsetS
strings will snap, and woman viii he
free. 1t will come to pass in those
days that woman VIII adopt the UNI
mentionable bifurc9ted garment, and
thus mankind will find out that she
is not Il ChuTn OIL rollers, but that God
gave her means Of l0cOmOtiOn Just like
man. +" He adds: May the blessing
of high heaven rest upon every
woman who has the moral courage
and herOism TO either defend or wear
the Reform Dress-fOr if woman is !
ever to be saved it is from her sins,
and not in her sins, a the friends of
fashion desire"
The Philadelphia .1ge of Wednesday
says: In numbers, richness Of Gus
TUNES and approved specimens of
American manhood, the display uf
knights Templers yesterday, eXceede /
the expectations of the public and the
friends of the order. 4 more impOs-
ing procession never swept through
the streets of this city. All the thor
oughfares along which the knightly
current passed, were fringed with men
and women, who testified q generous
and abundant welcome TO the stran-
gers, by tokens which could not be
misunderstood. Although the weather
was not rs propitious for the exercises
as could have been desired, still it did
not mar them in any material degree,
and the whole affair passed off in the
most complete and satisfactory man
ner. The occasion called to our city
leading and representative men from
different parts Of the Union. They
mingled with our people, interchanged
views, and partOOk of open-handed
hospitality in all quarters. We, in
return, had a chance of rubbing off
some of that eXelusiveness which too
often eats into the prosperity of the
city and impairs its business prospects.
AS a whole, the Templar demonstra-
ton cannot fail to be productive yof
good results, not only to the Order,
but to the city, which was honored in
being chosen as the theater of the
splendid demonstration. I.-''
Nothing concerning the future
welfare and happiness of the young
is so neglected. by parents and guard-
ians as the manner inl which their
evenings are spent. Darkness is temp
tation to evil; and suffering young
men and boys to be absent from the
family hearth, when the light Of day
does not restrain them from miscon-
duct, is really training them to it, and
producing incalculable mischief and
ruin. All the riots, disturbances of
any kind, and crimes are the resiilt of
running in the streets after nightfall.
At home something is more necessary
than the mere command, and parents
should endeavor by their own exam
pie to show the importance of spend
ing the hours of darkness with the
family; for if the heads of households
cannot experience the truth of the
assertion that there is no place like
home, how can they expect their off
spring 20 be domestic. Evening re-
creation and employment in the
family circle are inffnitelymore agree-
able and pleasant than any anluse-
ment or dissipation abroad and hon.
orable and learned men are the pro-
ducts of the one, while dissipated
specimens of the human race are the
results of the other. Let home be the
place ii should be, and let the same
destinations and inducements be of
ferred at the homestead as abroad,
and a more exalted and lereditable
class OF citizens would people the
world. Ji UulE HOdd To noisf9fnof
