The following picture of the Men
about Town." their Ways and Means,
&C., is given in late letter to the Con-
cord Statesman
New York is place where vast
amount of hard work is done, and yet it
contains large number Of loungers, the
richer class of whom are termed men
about town" This name signifies those
who are rich enough to do nothing but
mischief. They keep fast horses, and
fast women; and it is this class who sup
port the jockey clubs and other worth
less institutions. One can not be much
of " man about town" on less than
$4,000 a year, and some of this class
spend five times that amount. Some of
these are single, and some are married
but the tie matrimonial is not of much
account with them, and wife is never
allowed to stand in the way of other at
fractions. Indeed, the "better half is
society. The man about town owns
box at the opera for himself, ard perhaps
two or three for female friends of spec
ial character. He has splendid tur-
nout, though his team, feet as it may be,
is not as fast as himself. He may own a
yacht and have stock in race-course
without interfering with his general
character for idleness and indeed he
may have an interest in some business
whose burden is borne by others while
he shares the profits. Among this class
some are disposed to include Belmont
the banker, who lives in the Fifth avenue
and is fancy man in many different
ways. His connection with the Roths-
childs gives him an income of 100000,
which enables him to cut quite dash.-
Leonard Jerome, the rich stock specula.
tor, is also claimed to be one of the mum.
ber but whether he is or not, he knows
how to make the moneyfy. Hei is prob
ably spending larger sums than any man
of his years in this city. The wild ex-
travagance manifested by some of these
ment about town exceeds all belief and
the sums which they annually expend
would be fortune to man of moder'
ate desires. However, they generally
arrive soon to the end of their nurse an(
then sink rapidly to the lowest stage o
dissipation and disappear in the genera
current of misery.

The VelOcfpede.

This vehicle, which is at the present
time creating so much excitement through
the country, has finally reached Plymouth
-Messrs Cross & Salisbury, of Valparai-
so, agents for the sale of Arvin's Veloci-
pedes, brought three of the machines to
town. These gentlemen being experts in
propelling this novel locomotive, it was
suggested that an exhibition be given at
Balcony Hall At the appointed time n
number of persons met TO witness the
tournament Thc-skiil and ability of the
Messrs. Cross & Salisbury did not fail to
excite The admiration ofihose present. Of
the persons inexperienced in the art, Lott
Dickson and Lora Capron took the palm
for perseverance. We almost forgot to
say that our mirthfulncss was much excl
ted on 'beholding our worthy minister of
the Methodist Church astride the two
wheeled wagon, riding around the hall, but
we have no doubt that IL he perseveres he
will soon become master velocipedist.-
Now you may see velooipcde running
I'D, and,down our sidewalks.

For the Republican.
The Abor,gines of Marshall
County.
by WARREN TAYLOR.

In IS62(as was observed in my former
number) the Indian title to the most of the
lands in Marshall County was extinguished.
About three years afterwards, coucil was
held near Rochester. between the Indians
and the agents of the United States, for
the purpose of purchasing their reserves.
which The former in different parts of the
country had retained. Their purchase
was effected. but whether fairly or not,
has been matter of some dispute. The
removal of the Indians from their lands
was not attempted until 1888, and as this
period approached, they manifested strong
feelings of dissatisfaction. During the
summer of the above mentioned year,
Gen. Wayne and Col A. c. Pepper, OILS
GERS of the United States, held several
councils with them, in which ths questions
AT issue were discussed; an educated 1ndi
an named Rice, acting as intcrprcter. The
United States agents agreed that the 1ndi>
ans had sold their lands. that they had
agreed to remove at II specified time, that
this time had come, ana that they must
comply with the laws. The Indians men
toned That TIE purchase was fraudulent;
that in the transaction but few of their ma
ton had been consulted; and protested
strongly against the injustice, of being UNI
der these circumstances, compelled To
leave their homes and the graves OF their
fathers.
Finally reflisilion vas made upon IKE
Gov. of Indiana, David Wallace, and three
dctachmenis of nil itis. numbering about
sixty men each were raised in Peru, LO>
.ansport. and Laporie, and plsc I'll under
the command OF Gen. Upton. 1t is sad
that the Indians were called together at
the Menomenee chapel under the Iiciense
thus convened, they Suddenly found lhem-
selves surrounded by Tipton's militia.
i few escaped, but the most of these md
those who were absent at the time, were
in few days brough, in, and placed with
the rIst of their nation under guard.
The march of the indians commenced
shout the first OF September. 1888, when
the weather was extremely hot and much
sickness prevailed among them. Ii is said
that several died between Plymouth and
the Tippecanoc river. AS the indians
manifested no disposition to resist, the La
porte militia accompanied them but a few
miles south Of Plymouth, and the other
detachments, no further than Logansport.
They were located in what.was then CALI
ed the Indian Territory, now the State of
Kansas, where they Still live, and own a
large tract of land, which now, without
doubt, is of great value. Perhaps their re-
moval was on the whole advantageous to
them, but it is 10 be feared that their fate
in The past will he their fate in the future
that under the influence which surround
them they VIII gradually melt away, and
that i1 a few centuries they with other in
dian tribes who inhabited our country will
become nearly or cnt irely extinct.
