How an Injun Caught the New FASH
ioned Buffalo.


There aint much fun in an Injun
If there is its dcepish down,
And don't crop out at uncommon times,
As it duz in mewl or clown;
Or a Dutchman or Yankee;
Or any o them are chaps,
That always are gay at the gravest of times
And never give heed to mishaps.
No sur them red-skinned pirates,
Mean blood and good deal more
And when you are least expectin 'em most,
They're just outside O. your door,
With torch and brand and an arrow,
And whoop of demoniac mirth;
And away they ride by the glairing light
Of your fercely blazing hearth
haint much luv for IN Injun,.
And when there's joke worth while
Played off on the sneaking varmint,
| can't keep back smile,
No more than can bullet
When | see them prowlin about,
With treacherous look like hungry wolf
That's prowlin' along the route.
Twas down in the Chestnut Gulch,"
I'd been huntin' for buy week,
And of oil the luck l ever had
That are was the dulest streak;
| was feelin' blue and tired,
As I lay there on the ground,
But very quick was fully aroused
By most uncommon sound.
Its cause l soon discovered,
For the great Pacific line
Run closely along, and there was the cars
tell you the sight was fine.
On looking down at the track,
An Injun with stout lasso
Fastened around his waist | saw,
Was watchin' the engine too.
| just laid low for music,
For l knew thered be a tune,
With the engines shrek and the Injuns
whoop,
Like n thunder storm in june
On, on, like the wind it came,
Firm stood that cussed "Red,'
And when it got within easy range
His lasso caught its head.
Sold sold cried /, while tho Injun
And the cars went out of sight,
But never shall till my dyin day,
Forget his look of fright
han't much luv for an Injun
But almost pitied him
For bein' jurked to the Spirit Land,
BY a buffalo so grim.

States. The division of the body into two con-
SentiOns, one exclusively political, will leave the
ST Louis convention at liberty to consider cues

The cordial reception given by Prince Gorts-

Alliance in Europe and America, which has
gone to Russia in the cause of religious liberty
promises happy results. IL is ID be hoped that

the wrongs endured by the Lutherans in Livonia,
Esthonia, and Courland, which are said to be
only ParaDeled by the prosecution of the Puri-
tsus under the Stuarts by that of the Israelites
in medieval Spain. The evidence of the truth
OF this statement does not rest upon the memo
rials Of German, English, or American philan-

complaints OF the prosecuted Lutherans them
selves. IL Is embodied in Russian Official doom

Washington is not the only city in which the
never-ending battle on the Sunday question Is
being fought Here il Is a question of SUNDAY
papers and Sunday shaving. In New Haven il
is the Sunday horse-car questiOn-settled here
long ago. Poor people in that city who find it
too hot TO walk TO church in comfort want the
cars TO run. The good people who have their
own carriages oppose the running of public con-
yeyanees on the Sabbath, and the community is
greatly agitated. In Cincinnati, however, where
1t Is a question of Sunday music and Sunday
beer, the fight RACES with most bitterness. II
has been the habit there for some years with
many Of the people to make Sunday more day
OF recreation than Of mere religious Observance.
and the large German leaven in the population
has maintained the transatlantic manner OF
passing the Sabbath, or such part of it as was
not given TO Divine worship, in the numerous
beer gardens, which, according to European
custom, have been enliyened by music. But the
powers that be have put an end 10 all this, and
are determined to enforce the recent legislation
declaring both the beer and the music criminal
upon this one day of the seven.
1t is argued by the opponent of the law that
il Is 10 more harm for the poor man To drinL,
beer in a public garden than for the rich one 10
drink " me at home, and that music, one of the
most elevating and refined enjoyments, loses
none OF its charms on the day set apart for wor-
ship and rest, as proved by the emulation among
the churches to secure the finest cheirs. A con-
ventiOn Of thirty German societies met and
adopted resolutions denOuneing the Sunday
laws as an encroaehment upon individual rights,
incompatible with the State constitution and the
American idea Of personal liberty. Against this
movement the Evangelical churches held large
meeting last Thursday, which was also attended
by number Ofprominent laymen, to take action
against the proposed repeal of the Sunday laws
A committee, cor listing of representatives of
nearly all the Evangelical churches of Cincin-
natl, was appointed TO draft resolutions and re-
port hereafter; and il was determined to hold a
mass meeting at Pixies Opera House last eve
ming.

Wht Is TO Blarner

The New York papers OF yesterday are filed
with siekening details of the appalling disaster
an that city on Sunday, when the boiler of the
Staten Island feIryboat westfeld exploded and
in an instant men, women, and children, even
babes in the arms OF their mothers, were lifted
into the air, hurled into the water, buried in the
debris of the wreck, bruised, maugled, scalded,
altogether making the scene one of indescribable
horror. The journals all discuss the question !:
Who is TO blame for the terrible calamity I?
The Sun says the explosion is just what might
have been expected. The boat i old, and the
engineer says that the boiler had been IN use
nine years. 1t apparently had been patched
and stitched until il was as rotten as the deck
On the 18th of June, however, it was inspected
sy the proper officer +, and pronounced sound.
There Is as yet no evidence Of an undue strain
upon the boiler. IL broke where IL had been
patched, and the loss Of eighty or more lives and
the manning OF a hundred persons are the result
OF that patch. An examination of the cylinder
which was blown out shows that the iron had
been eaten out around the rivets until il was as
thin as four sheets Of letter paper The same
paper adds that it win not do for the ferry
company to endeavor to shift the responsibility
upon the engineer. The people will hold the
proper persons guilty. Those persons are the
members Of the company and the government
Inspector"
Secretary Boutwell, thinks the Inspector of
Steamboats, must have been at fault, and
has directed Supervising Inspector General
BelknaP and Supervising Inspector Lowe
to make rigid examination into the condition
of the boilers of the boat. and report without
delay to the Secretary. As a precaution against
further loss OF life the inspection of all boilers on
ferry-bOats in New York will be ordered. The
cOrOners too, in this case, have a most important
duty before them. The investigation should be
thorough and the responsibility placed, without
finching, where 1t belongs.
The ". L. Post of yesterday afternoon, in a
carefully considered article, comes 10 the conclu-
sion that the engineer of the Westfield was away
from his post at the time of the explosion, and
that consequently the steam in the boiler had
increased TO pressure of over thirty pounds,
while the maximum allowed was but twenty
five pounds ID the square inch, and that this
overstTain on the metal caused the calamity.
