spotted Tail ON the war.patii-Gov-
ger.
YAxroN, VIA Sioux CRY, Iowa, Sep
TENDER 26.--Capt. Poole, agent at White
stone Agency. wrote the government as
follows on the 4th:
"The Indians, under Spotted Tail and
others, all left camp last evening, and
have gone in the direction of Niohbrora,
and will concentrate near the mouth of
Porea creek. | am informed that they
heard of a number of Pawnees on their
way up, and have gone out to attack
them. The Indians understand that the
Pawnees are guarding party of survey
ors at work in northern Nebraska. |
only know that Spotted Tail visited here
yesterday afternoon, and left suddenly,
inviting all the young men to go with
him, and that they went. ] start in a
few days, with my interpreter, to go
down near the locality named, and will
use my best endeavors to have them re
turn, and to prevent outrages of any
kind. The Yanktons and Santees are
in the movement"
Captain Poole's statements are en-
titled to full credit, as he is not an
alarmist. The movement seems against
other Indians, but the surveyors may
suffer if caught. Spotted Tail is very
hostile toward them. The place of rem
devious is about fifty miles west of
Yorktown, on the west side of the Mis-
souri, river. The annuity goods, now
going up the river, may check the move
ment, as the Indians have been anxiously
looking for them"

Early Breakfast,

a bad custom is prevalent in many
families, especially among farmers, Of
working an hour or two before break
fast, hoeiRg in the garden, cutting wood
moving, etc. IHis p cottenient on
many accounts, but it is not productive
of health The prevalent opinion is that
the morning air is the purest aud most
healthful and bracing, but the contrary
Is the fact. At no hour Of the day is
the air more filled with dampuess, iogs
and masmas than about sunrise. The
heat of the sun gradually dissipates the
mlasmatic influences as the day advan
ces. An early meal braces up the sys
TEN against these external influences.
Every one knows the languor aud faint.
ness often experienced for the first hours
IN the morning, ami this is Increased by
exercise aud want of food. We do not
agree with the boarding school regime
which prescribes long walk before
breakfast as means of promoting
health.
Probably the best custom would be
to furnish every member of the family
especially those who labor out of doors,
with single cup of warm coffee, we'll
milked, Immediately after rising from
the bed. Then let them attend to
moving, hoeing, &C., for an hour or
two, while the teams are feeding and
the breakfast preparing. They will
feel better and do more work.-Amer.

The awful silence grows deeper. The
deep drawn breath OF the brother, aud
the broken gasp Of the murderer, alone
disturbed the stiffness. The widow and

her face turned aside, and her tiny fin

Young Matrons,

The presence of young married ladies'
at entertainments adds charm 10 the
evening Of peculiar dignity. The cour.
tesies extended to them by their gentle.
man friends do not clash with the at-
tentions paid TO the unmarried ones.
A young person Of either sex canLot
have better "guide, philosopher and
friend in any social emergency, than a
married lady. Their interest in one
being purely platoniO, aud not obscure
or biased by the glamour of the tender
passion, they are always able to give
advice upon delicate questions involving
the use of cousummate tack aud discre.
tion, and without which a blunderine
man would simply make dreadful mess
OF his affairs. Then again, there is
repose and serenity about the manner
OF the young matron, which renders
conversation with her free from possible
embarrassment. The giddiness, friyol.
ity, aud loquacity of asweet sixteen"
although temporarily charming, is apt
to become fatigueing, lacking the euI-
tnre and savior tarie years bring. Mar
rlage, however, has the effect Of settling
all these sediments in the female char,
acter more or less, aud as the current
OF llie runs smoother with them, at least
Tor time, they can talk upon some
other subject than the everlasting one
oi o, sweethearts, beaux, and matrimony.
There is subdued softness of demea.
nor, too, in the young matron which the
belle OF the season does not have. The
exhileration aud excitement incident to
successful career as a young girEi
which eliminates in what is called the
''insolence of beauty is not visible IL
the manner Of the belle retired from
business---the young matrop. The more
that charming married ladies' iispel the
gloom incident to dreary wilderness of
unmarried ones by "going out" the

Ministers in our day rarely object to
an increase of salary, but we find in an
exchange a capital story of an old Con.
neclicut pastor who declined it for very
substantial reasons. His country par
ish raised his salary from three hundred
to four hundred dollars. The good man
objected for three reasons "First."
said he, "because you can't afford to
give more than three hundred Second,
because my preaching isn't worth more
than that. Third, because have to
collect my salary, which heretofore has
been the hardest part Of my labors
among you. If | have to collect an ad.
ditional hundred, it will kill me.''

Cutting off Little Excesses.

a writer on health well remarks that
less food means temperance. Precisely
this; nothing more or less. IL docsn' t
mean the temperance reform 1t means
simply the avoidance of o1cess, or the
little-too much that hurts 1t is the
feather that breaks the camel's back.
And is it then so hard that this little
can't be avoided? Yes, that is it: we
must have a little more room in the
over crowded stomach. And what is
the consequence Simply a little
uneasy feeling? Sometimes this is all !;
but not always. 1t is, however, always
a hurt that will be felt by.and by, and
more and more as the individual per.
sists. But, even for the present, with
many men, it is bad thing. A person
will feel stupid he will have the blues.
the stomach, through the nervous in.
tlnencc, Affects the whole system gmak.
ing the body dumpish and the whole
mind dull and the individual anythin.
but agreeable. Now this is common
fact; we see it everywhere, every day,
every meal people " hog IT," that is
the word. Why not just cut of the
little excesses, aud thus be cheerful, be
healthy? Some men do this. Reader.
try 1t, aud you will thank Us. Remcm.
Der, it is not hard the habit is soon
formed and then YOU will be in a new
atmosphere; you will live new life
Think not you are not the o=e aimed

1t is law of universal justice that
that man cannot degrade woman with.
out himself falling into the degradation;
he cannot raise her without becoming
better. One hali>of the human world
remains without progress, without
thought, and under the tyranny of a
barbarous civilization, and woman there
are slaves. The other half advance to.
ward freedom, light, aud happiness;
woman in it are loved and honored.
Never shrink from a woman of sound
sense. If she becomes attached to YOU,
1t is because she sees in you some emo
bling quality. You may trust her, for
she knows the value of your confidence.
fo1 may consult her, for she is able to
advise, and she does so at once, with
the firmness of reason and the consid.
Grafton of affection. Her love will be
lasting, Tor it has not been lightly won:
1t will be strong and ardent, for weak
minds are incapable Of the lcftier grades
OF passion. Ii man prefers to attach
himself to woman of feeble under.
standing, it must be either from fearing
to encounter superior person, or from
vanity in seeking that admiration which
springs from ignorance, instead of that
which approaches to appreciation.
