A gentleman from the land of the
olive and fig, and also of the earthquake
and volcano, was in the city the other
day, lodging near the rehearsal rooms of
one of our brass bands. He had retired
for the night, and was slumbering peace
fully, when suddenly talented artist
commenced an elaborate solo on the
bass drum, with muscular accompanl-
mcnt on the cymbals. Within mo-
meut there came volley of cargos and
caranbaS from a window, followed i'm
mediately by dishevelled Spaniard,
dressed principally in necktie and a
window sash. He was about to take to
the woods when he was persuasively
collared, and informed that he was mis-
taken-that it was not an earthquake,
and after considerable argument he was
convinced and subdued. York

INDIAN WIVES.

The Indian Wees of Border Whites-
Their Domestic Character Games
Beauty of the yoang Indian Maide'as.
The custom of taking to themselves
Indian wives still prevails among the
hunters and trappers of our Western
Territories, and a correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune. writing from Wyoming
says: 1t is no uncommon thing, in this
mountainous region, to find white man
and squaw who have a numerous pro-
gcny of half breed children growing up
around them. These children are active
and quick witted, and their descendants
will 60 toward making up our highland
population. The squaws make good and
faithful wives, and, so far as their knowl-
edge goes, good mothers. They seem to
enjoy life. and,in their gambling games,
get thoroughly excited. The women
have games of their own, and no. man
inteferes with them in any way. The
game seems to be somewhat like the old
play of the children, called Button,
button, who's got the button ?"
During the whole game. all the women
sing together the most lively air I have
ever heard among the savages, and all
are eager for the possession of the grand
prize, which consists of beads and bead
work, scissors, money, needles, thread,
and hundred other thing dear to the
feminine heart. The children, too, are
anxious lookers-on; and he who supposes
the Indians do not enjoy themselves ought
to see them engaged in this game, where
their whole souls appear to be absorbed
in pleasurable excitment. 1t is called
Ni-u-witz, the Game of Hand; and while
it is going on, a woman at either end of
the two rows of players beats on the
poles which seperate them with all their
might, keeping time to the music, and
increasing the enthusiasm as much as
possible. Some of the young squaws
are handsome, black-eyed creatures, with
masses of raven hair, who would attract
attention anywhere. Their bright-color-
ed blankets set off their charms to the
greatest advantage, and they appear
modest enough. For long time l was
of opinion that there was no such thing
as handsome Indian girl, but in this I
was greatly mistaken-some of them be-
ing very fair to look upon They break
early in life, and the old women look
like variest hags. The young girls have
all the playful little ways of their fairer
sisters, and the little ones have their
dolly papooses, the same as white chill
dren. Human nature, after all, is a
good deal the same everywhere, and a
little observation among savages shows
that they are governed by the same pas
sions and impulses that We are, though
untamed. A love of ease and contempt
for hard work are by no means confined
to the red skins.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM BURIAL ALIVE.
In New York city Coroner Young was
notified at his residence recently by Mr..
Depew, that colored servant of his,
named Carrie Johnson, was found dead
that morning in her bed, at his residence
33 Morton street. and a permit was Civ
en- to him to remove the body to the
Morgue the gentleman was so certain
that the girl was dead, that he did not
deem it necessary to send for physician,
and he took the permit to station
house, and the warden of Bellevue Hos
pital was telegraphed to send the dead
wagon. 1t arrived at the house about
half-past 2 o'clock p. m, when on pro-
ceeding to the room it was discovered
that the girls head was leaning over the
side of the bed, but it was supposed some
one had moved it in the meantime. When
the driver of the wagon, however, took
hold of the body to place 1t IN the cof-
fin, he felt warmth about the stomach
and loins, which he thought could not
be the case if the person were dead
Mr. Depew Immediately sent for ply
sician. but before his arrival the driver
had forced open the teeth and placed
some salt in the mouth.
The physician decided that life was
not extinct, and applied the usual means
to restore animation, but it was not un-
til the next day p. m. that she was full
ly restored, and at o'clock on that day
she took Sixth avenue car and went to
West 9Th street, where she is at pres
ent residing with friend. The girl
was similarly affected some time since.
and then narrowly escaped burial.

A Maine paper tells little story
about the bell of the old South Church
in Boston. Itappears that many years
ago certain parties in England gave to
the First Congregational church of Bid
deford, Maine. bell. For some reason
or other the freight on the bell was not
paid, and it was lying upon wharf in
Boston for a long time. At length it
was sold to pay charges, and now hangs
in the tower of the "Old South" in Bos-
ton. The fact that Biddeford was its
destination is cast in the bell. 1t is
now suggested that, the old church be-
ing turned into post-ofice, some meas
ures be taken to secure the bell for Bid
deford, as was originally intended.

IMPLORA PACE.
By BAYARD TAYLOR.

The clouds that stoop from yonder sky,
Discharge their burdens, and you are free;
The streams that take them hasten by,
To find relief in lake and sea.
The widest wind in wales afar
Sleeps pillowed on its ruffied wings;
And song, through many stormy bar,
Beats into silence on the strings! ,f.-. I
And love o'ercomes his young unrest,
And first ambitions fight is o'er;
And doubt is Graded on the breast
OF perfect faith and speaks no more.
Our dreams and passions cease to dare, e.
And homely patience learns her part;
Yet still some keen pursuing care
Forbids content to brain and heart.
The gift unreached, beyond the hand;
The fault in all of beauty won
The mildew of the harvest land,
The spots upon the rising sun!
And still some cheaper service claims
The will that leaps to loftier call;
Some cloud is cast on splendid aims r--
On power achieved some common thrall.
To spoil each beckoniug victory,
thousand pigmy hands are thrust;
And, round each height attained we see
Our ether dim with lower dust.
All, could we breathe some peaceful air,
And all save purpose there forget,
Till eager courage learn to bear
The gad-fy's sting the pebbles fret!
Let higher goal and harsher way,
To test our virtue then combine
'Tis not for idle ease we pray
But freedom for our task divine.

Grandmother was crying.
"You have set me thinking, Jared,

1t was out of Jared's power to ask a
single question. He saw that his grand
mother was deeply moved. Tears were

wondered what could have hurt her so.

There were two lessons learned in that
house that night. Jared looked into the

The English press does not like the
purchase of SANTANA Bay by an Ameri-
can company. 1t sees in that enterprise
the evidence that American influence
will secure strong foothold in the West
indies and probably anticipates the time
when out of this proceeding, San Domin-
go may become part of the territory of
the United States. Indeed, the Satur-

black members from Hayti will some

The Instance of a Horribly Henpecked Mana sad
Picture of Weakness and Oppression-Half Starved
to Death.
From La Crosse, Wisconsin, comes
story that might be almost ludicrous
were it not for the horrible neglect and
cruelty with which it abounds. A Mr.
John Parker-one of the oldest and most
respected citizens of that place, living
sixteen years of henpecked existence
with the partner of his bosom. has been
most fowl-y dealt with. 1t seems that
Mrs. Parker, his wife, ruled her husband
with an iron hand, and he submitted,
until he saw the very grave yawning to
receive him. He repeatedly wrote to his
sister. living in Patterson, New Jersey,
of the treatment he received. but his
wife would destroy the letters, and make
him write as she dictated. He being i'll
this Winter had to submit, until one
day Mrs Parker went into neighbours,
then Mr. Parker wrote the truth to his
sister, and sent a messenger to the Post
Office, In response, his sister and her
husband came to La Crosse, and pro-
ceeding to Mr.. Parker's residence, found
him in almost dying condition.
They Immediately removed him to a
hotel and called "a physician. The doc
tor gave it as his opinion that if he had
not been rescued he could not have llv-
ed thirty-six hours longer. Mr.. Parker
| is one of those good, whole-s -souled, easy
going men, who allowed his wife to run
things. They were well off. owning four
houses and lots, the rent Of which
brought them in money enough for a
good living. But Mr. Parker says that
his wife surrendered her heart and soul
to the god of Mammon, until it became
a species of insanity with her. He says
that during this cold weather, while he
was sick she only allowed him little
fire made from bark, In his room, and his
dinner consisted of what was left on his
plate at breakfast. He always got up
from the table hungry.
She boarded her money that came in
from the rents and other sources, never
buying any clothes, and now having
many hundreds of dollars loaned out on
mortgage securities. She would allow
no one to see him or 60 out with him
She gave him medicine that would vomit
him, he having taken three large pill:

WHAT YoUNG MEN HAVE DoNE.-
Rev. Arthur L. Peirscn, in the Associa-
tioa Monthly, says: Before the age of
thirty, Virgil stood at the head of Latin
poets, Luther led the hosts of the re-
formation, and Newton occupied the
front rank among discoverers. Before
twenty-eight years had passed, Herod-
otus had recited his nine books of his
tory at the Olympic games, and Hanni-
bal brought Spain into subsection to the
arms Of Carthage. At twenty-five, De-
mosthenes was the golden-mouth Of
Greece, and Cicero the silver-tongue of
Rome. Raphael at the same age was
sommoned by julius II. to adorn, with
his immortal cartoons, the panels of
Vatican, and Galileo nightly trod the
paths of the shining fields above, in
search. of undiscovered stars. At the
same age, Shakespeare stood at the head
of all dramatic writers, and Jonathan
Edwards and George Whitefeld we're
princes among the preachers. At twen-
ty-two, Alexander had overturned the
Persian empire, and Napoleon and
Washington were accomplished generals.
Plato was at twenty the intimate friend
and peer of Socrates, and called Aristotle,
at the age of seventeen, the mind Of
his school, Pascal was great mathe-
matician at sixteen, and Bacon was no
older when he laid the basis of his In
ductive philosophy, and began to revo-
lutionize the thought of the world. The
list might be swelled to hundreds and
thousands. Let these suffice to illus
trate the statement that in all depart
ments of art and study, genius and tai
ent. invention and discovery, youthful
energy and enterprise have been crown
| ed with laurels of immortality.
