A fourth political party was organized in
New Hampshire yesterday. The working
men, in council, concocted Labor Reform
party, and nominated Samuel Flint, and old
Free-soiler and an advocate of taxing the
bonds and paying them in currency, for
Governor. Besides Mr.. Flint, there are now
Democratic, Republican, and Temperance
candidates in the field. The two new par
ties get what strength they have from the
Republicans. The Labor Reform managers
claim to control 5000 votes. As the Re-
publican majority in New Hampshire was
but 3,700 last year, the Democrats have an
excellent chance to carry the State. The
election takes place March Sth.

A Pawnee Village.

A visit was made to the two Indian
villages in which all the members of
the four bands Of the PawEees reside,
except about two hundred warriors,
who are in the army on duty under the
General Government. The villages
are 4 mile and half from the agency
and school, and about mile apart, on
high and dry land. The Indians flock
out of their lodges to see the visitors,
some dressed in blankets, bright blue
and red. some in buffalo skins, and the
children who are very numerous, in
natures broadcloth." The head
chief, "Big Eagle" and his "queen,"
met the company and took them to his
lodge and introduced them to his four
wives, all sisters, the queen being the
eldest.
The 'mudlodge' contained from FIVE
to ten families, or from twenty-five to
fifty people; the general appearance of
the lodge being like a magnifed cheap
of buried potatoes" 1t is made by
placing poles some twenty-five feet
long, with the lower ends in a circle,
about fifty feet in diameter, and the
tops coming so nearly together as to
leave an opening three or four feet in
diameter, and kept in place by waiting
with small branches Oftrees. Prairie
grass Is thrown upon these poles and
then thick coating of earth. A fire
is kept constantly burning in the center
of the lodge, the smoke passing out at
the opening in the top. Around the
inside area, next to the poles, are
sleeping places, like berths in vessel.
In front of each berth is kind of a
bench for storage Of blankets, skins
and extra clothing. The long, inclined
poles afford places for suspending tom
ahawks, pipes, bears claws, elk horns,
wolves ears, and other Indian prop
erty.
A vessel remains continually sus-
pended over the fire, in which are
cooked provisions for the family, as
beef, pork, potatoes, beans, hominy,
DC. The bread is made up in wooden
trays manufactured by the Indians,
and placed in a thin cake on smooth
board. A hot stone, several of which
are continually around the fire, is
pulled out a short distance, and the
board is leaned against it, thus baking
the bread. The Indians think it un-
natural that a whole family should be
hungry at the same time; so they
never set table, but each one when
hungry is supplied from ''the pot or
board" BY the way, is that what our
word boarding comes from? All
the lodges of the Pawnee reservation
are close together. They have about
thousand ponies, which Craze on the
prairie by day, and are put in the cor
rails at night for fear the Sioux will
steal them

Secret of True Happiness.

There are few truer things said
touching earthly happiness than the
following, by Ruskin:
Gradually. thinking on from point to
point, we shall come to perceive that
all true happiness aud nobleness are
near us, and yet neglected by lis; and
that till we have learned how TO be
happy and noble we have not much to
tell, even to red Indians. The delights
of horse racing and hunting, of assem-
blies in the night instead of the day,
Of costly and wearisome music, Of
costly and burdensome dress, OF
chargrined contention for place or pow
er, or wealth, or the eyes of the null
titude; and all the endless occupation
without purpose, and idleness without
rest, of our vulgar world, are not it
seems to me, enjoyments we need be
ambitious to communicate.
And all real and wholesome enjoy,
ments possible to man have been just
as possible to him, since he was first
made Of the earth. as they are now;
and they are possible to him chiefly in
peace. To watch the corn grow, and
the blossome set; to draw hard breath
over plowshare or spade; to read, to
think, to love, to hope to pray--these
are the things that make men happy
they have always had the power to 90
more. The worlds prosperity depends
upon our knowing and teaching these
few things; but upon iron or glass, OF or
electricity, or steam, in no wise. s.l,L anu
| am utopian and enthusiastic enough
to believe that the time will come when
the world will believe this. 1t has now
made its experiments in every direction
but the right one, and it seems that it
must at last try the right one as a
mathematical necessity.

CoURTINe FAT GIRL.-Donn Piatt

Soon the flowers win bloom
And scng birds will sing.
We welcome thee gladly

Clothe quickly the orchard
In blossoms of white, --,.-4 .,.
With green carpet the lawn
To gladden. our sight.
Border our garden walks
With flowers most rare,

Yon Will leave there,
And down by the way side.
Make pare daisies grow.

The fresh fallen snow
And OH the stIil margin
OF the sparkling stream,
Place beds of green moses,
In which dew drops gleam
Like diamonds in sunlight,
Or stars in the sky.
Which in dazzling brightness
Beam down from an high
Across the green meadow.
VIII lambs gaily skip;
There blue violets smile.
And honey bees sip
The Dew from their hearts Thcn
Again on the wing. 1a
In search OF more sK eetness
Which you kindly bring.
In wild dingle and dell. ftl
Where stray sunbeams fall,
Clinging ivy and ferns,
Spring up at thy call.

All you give places,
And clusters Of biuU-bells
Show their tiny faces.
In valley, on hilltop,
And over the plain,
You'll wake sleeping nature,
To freshness again.

Bright May days remain,
TO keep nature smiling
Forever the same.
