send the Little Ones Happy to
Bed.
Send the little ones happy to bed,
When closes the troublesome day
Let no harsh invective be said,
To rufde their mind while they pray
Sore trials and troubles SO soon
The sweet sleep of childhood will ban;
And let them lie joyfully down
And cherish bright dreams while they can.
Send the little ones happy to bed,
Though they may be nischievous and Wild
Nature seldom bestows wise head
On rosy-cheeked, light-hearted child.
Then let their glad spirits have play,
And brighter and stronger they IL grow,
Like stream that runs free on its way,
And suffers no check in its flow.
Send the little ones happy to bed,
You know not what i'll may be near
Ere the morning your pets may be dead
Then vain the regret or the tear
So let them lie down with delight,
And fail not to give or to take
KISS when they prattle goodnight,
ana KISS IN the morn when they wake.

Gail ,HamiltOnF on the Need of
Woman Suffrage.

From the independent. es@ .rT
The third ground on which the ballot
is demanded for woman is that she
needs it for her own protection against
man. Men, left to themselves, make
laws for women which are unjust and
oppressive. Women must have the
laW-making power in their own hands,
in order to secure fair.
1 deny this wholly. / deny it in full
view of the fact that men have made
laws unjust to women, that the only
fear of personal injury felt by women
is OF bad men, and that a very large
part of the suffering and sorrow of wO-
men comes from the selfshness or ig-
n0rance of the good men with whom
they are connected. In the face of all
this, / affirm that American women, as
a class, do not need protection against
American men, as a class; that, if they
need Il. they will never get it. either
from the ballot or from any other
source; and that, on the whole, the law
as it stands is more favorable to women
than it would have been if women had
made the law for themselves. q
If we have come to the point that
women mnst defend themselves against
men, we may as well give up the battle
st once. One man is stronger than one
woman, and ten men are stronger than
ten women, and the nineteen millions
of men in this country will subdue
capture and execute or expel the nine
teen millions of women, just as soon as
they set about it. It is not even, like
the suppression of the late rebellion, d
Question of time. They could do it in
haitian hour any day. What is the use
then, sofWemen's talking about pro-
tecting themselves againstmen? The
slaves Of the south received the suffrage
for their protection; but protection
against whom? Against the power
that gave them the suffrage? That is
absurd. 1t is as if a woman should
lsay to a man: II believe. you are 6
burglar and meant to rob me. Give me
Ia gun, that i may defend myself agains
you.'a If he means torob her, it is idle
to expect him to give her the gun. 1
he gives her the gun, it is proof thar
he is no burglar. ahd she does not neec
to defend herself against him.

AN INDIAN KILLER INTER.
VIEWED.
"a TaIk with comanche BIN.

"A Talk with Com anche Bill. Z.
From the Davenport uowa) Gazette, Agust IS
There has been stopping in this city
3 for couple of days past, one of those
characters who have made for them-
selves a celebrity for their bravery and
daring on the plains Of the far west,
among the Indians and the buffalo; in
recounting whose deeds, hair breadths
escapes and peculiar life, the pages OF
romance are filed. The person to
whom we refer is no less a character
than "Comanehe~ Bill,p who is re-
puted to be the slayer of no less than
one hundred and eighty-thFee Indians.
He has been nine years on the. plains,
part of which time he has been in the
employ Of the government as scout
He has hunted and killed Indians fol
the pleasure and sweets of revenge, and
hunted and trapped of necessity. He
is now on his return to his old life in
the west,s having been visit to his
early homein Minnesota. He is about
twenty-eight years of age, slender
build, sandy complexioned, with pro
fusion of hair that he wears long or
the neck. His dress is pair of buck
skin pants, ornamented from the outel
seems with row of steel buttons, !
course shirt, an old coat and broad
isbrimmed hat. His eye is piercing
keen, and he has grip like q dozef
hlacksmiths. In reponse to our ques
tons he said: it-.e ~

whom they took prisoner ~.
@Where was you?r ii Il -
i was away at the military station
on business; went the day before. The

that the settlers had sent to the station

They killed 'em all, every one.u

Did you get any traces of your sis
ter?''
"Why, yes, they was the Yankton,
ISWanee and Sioux Indians, and
knOwed them pretty well. I learned
that they had her. knOwed what
they'd do with her.
HYou have not been successful in
your efforts to secure her?p
ssNo; you see, single-handed and
alone, a man don't stand much
chance. That's what had been doing
all the time. Once, in Arizona, l was
right in sight of her. The way ]
knowed it was her was, 1 had been on
the trail of the band OF Sioux that had
her a long time, and she was the only
white person they had. This was in
s65, and then she looked just like moth
| er. l waited and watched and watched,
and picked an Indian off every little
while, when he'd get mile or two
from camp, but twas no use. They
kept too good watch over her."
"Were you ever captured?'
Yes. The Blackfeets captured me and
Jim Braden in '64, when we were out
hunting. They came on Us with q
rush, but they didn't get uS,though un-
til had killed one young buck"
What did they do with you?"
ssThey marched about twenty-five
miiesito their camp, and there they
stripped us of everything we had, and
tied US up to stake, and let the wo-
men pound us with clubs. They die
