society has an interest in the ques-
ton of cutting down trees; and the
preservation of them must be taken
out of the hands of poetry and put
into the hands Of law. The life Of a
tree must come to have something Of
the sacredness which attaches to the
life of man though that, we fear, Is
an amount Of Sacredness which does
not promise to the tree an excessive
security just ST present. Clearly it
is a subject for craftsmanship to prac-

was ever committed whose conse-

sinner alone; that no man could do

illustrated it thus: " \ vessel sailing

beneath his berth, cut hole through

From the Americdn and GazetIc.l
The White Branch Of the MOdOc
Tribe

The tidings from Louisiana once
more attest the fact that ssvagery
knows no color and is peculiar to no
cline. The English-speaking tribes
Of mankind can claim no exemption
from the rule that man, as he exists
to-day, whether in the torrid, the tenn
pe1ate or in the frozen zones, is at best
in condition of greater or less re-
move from a common state of barbar-
ism. The element Of brutishness
may. by the restraints OF law and the
influence Of culture. be held in abey-
ance or made to disappear to very
great extent for several generations
only to regain its dominating power
and shock human sensibilities by some
sudden outcrop alta later period. TAX
en- without reference to the early histo-
rY Of even the most advanced races the
recent outbreak in Louisiana might
seem to establish the fact of human
retrogression. Fortunately man is
known to be advancing from barbar-
ism, slowly and with unequal steps
il may be, but none the less advan-
cling. Men who labor and look for
higher civilization will not suffer
themselves to become discouraged
because a seni-savage remnant of the
white race resorted to the tactics Of
the red man of the forest and plain
and wiped out a whole neighborhood
with fire and sword the other dav in
one of the sovereign states OF this
Union.
/ Already We are told that this latest
horror is only the natural result of
putting an inferior and a superior
race on the same political footing.
There is vast deal Of wise gabble
about inferior and superior races in
dulged by conceited politicians now
adays and this gablle has something
to do with the situation IN Louisiana.
To begin with, there can be no prac-
teal recognition Of superiority or in
feriority in a republic like this In
feriority has been the pretext for the
most inhuman tyranny the world over
and time through. The aristocratic
Norman enslaved the Saxon and com
pelled him to wear collar "a badge
of serTitude. '.Dog of a Saxon" was
a common salutation; and, sooth to
say, it was not so mnch misplaced.
Our progenitors were reduced to a
condition Of hoggishness and dog
gishness by their Norman owners.
They were guilty of fairer skins than
than their masters, But condition,

was the wretched man who was hung
the only sinner? Had the licensed
dealer who sold him the fiery stimu-
liant no partnership in that crime9
Have those who license the dram
shop no share in the crime? And
are all those who abet and sustain
the fatal drinking usages of society
entirely guiltless? If the drinking
customs are fattening the gibbet and
filling the prisons, then every sup
porter of these ensnaring and destrue-
tive customs has his or her share of
responsibility for the terrible conse-
quences.
Those ''ropes" that have lately
been swinging in the air at Chicago
and New York suggest several sol
emn and weighty lessons. As one of
the poor victims we'll said; "This
rope means a bottle" He saw tn"
result Of his first sparkling and eX-
hilarating glass comii 2 back to him
in that awful draught of the gall of
the gallows. He must have cursed
he day that he touched it. But that
is the end Of thousands of first
glasses" drank as thoughtlesslv as
Driver frank his. One lesson of
these gibb>ets is: Never touch the
first glass: never offer it to others.
A second less m of these ropes is:
If the community will continue to
license and sustain the liquor traffic,
then the community l.l1st foot the
bill'' IN murders. hangn',' ,'us ropes
and prisons crowded to t.h,@ door
ways. And no man in such Hom-
munity is guiltless who supports
either the traffic OF the drinking Gus
toms. The State of Indiana has
lately passed an admirable law in
ficting the damages Of drunkenness
upon the sellers of strong drink.
This is good as far as it goes. But
why not prohibit the drunkard-mak-
er's business entirely? And, when
all the good statutes have been put
upon the law book. there Vet lies be-
mind them all that higher law Of
Heaven which pronounces II woe on
every man who puts the bottle to
nis neighbor." and also enjoins that
none should drink anything where
by our brothor stumbleth."
Finally, those hideous ropes"
dangle in the face Of our Christian
churches and they proclaim to Us
that we are not guiltless unless we
preach and practice abstinence from
the intoxicating cup. Come out and
he We separate, and touch not the
unclean thing, saith the Lord.

LFroln the INDEPENDENT
Bessie, the Sparrow.

/ saw her one spring some years
ago in Odessa. Delaware. | was
looking at a friends conservatory in
that pretty little quiet town and was
quite surprised to see in a large cage
two sparrows. They were evidently
entirely contented with their lot and
seemed TO be enjoying themselves.
surrounded as they were by pretty
flowers and green plants, while out
side the house all was cold and bleak.
Yet that they should be in a cage
and so lively and well led me to ask
how it happened that they were there.
My friend told me the following sto-
ry in explanation:
-Four years before. late in the au-
tumn. and after all the birds had
gone away to their Southern homes,
when the air had grown chilly and
the season begun to he dreary, one
cay a little sparrow was seen to fly
against the windows of the conserva-
tory The green plants and flowers
within, 50 in contrast with the faded
leaves without, had evidently attract
cd her attrL ton and she was irving
hard TO get among them. One of the
family, noticing the earnest efforts
Of the bird, opened a window as an
invitation to come in.
The sparrow did not wait for a
second call, but at once flew into the
room and with evident delight began
hopping about among the plants to
pick up her dinner. of which she
seemed sorely in need.
The family thought that Of course
when her hunger was satisfied, and
especially when she found that men
and women and children were likely
to be near her, she would gladly take
her departure. Not so thought Miss
Sparrow. She evidently liked the
new quarters well. anG when night
drew on she selected a pice place TO
sleep and put her head under her
wing as if she felt entirely at home.
The next day the window was left
open 50 that if she chose she might
have liberty to 90 away again. But
she showed no disposition to do any
thing Of the sort. She might hop on
the sill and take an observation. but
she would 60 back to the plants and
flowers again and soon made her
friends in the house understand that
she had taken up her abode with
them. She was made very welcome
and spent the whole winter there.
She became one of the family and
was called Bessie.
In the spring. when the trees were
covered with foliage and the days
had grown balmy, it was thought
that Bessie would of course like tc
90 out. But to the surprise Of hel
( friends she did not seem to care to dc
so. If Sue flew out Of the window il
was only for a few moments and sh,
would come back to her home. WheI
the birds began to sing and especi
ally when the sparrowS were flying
round and singing their songs, tn,
family supposed that certainly nov
Bessie would be tempted abroad
But no, she was contented to stay
al home.
So the days passed on; and i
seemed probable that while othe
sparrows might build nests and b
twittering and singing round tn
house Bessie would remain by heI

rather than color, fixed the status of
men in that age. The gulf between
the white slave and his dark-skinned
lord was very wide and apparently
| impossible. But as time passed, the
gulf was seen to close and at last
what seemed utterly irreconcilable
was reconciled- The inferior gradu-
ally rose above his condition of in
fe;iority and prejudice vanished as
he rose. Nor was the result excep-
tienal. 1t is the natural consequence
Of a political commingling of races.
The Judgment of mankind is pecu-
liarly sensitive 20 the influences Of
custom, and certain education
which more or less medifes the char
ac,eristics Of the most vicious in
every civilized community. For ex-
ample, when the Indian wages war
and spares neither sex, age nor con-
dition, the civilized world is shocked
and horrifed Yet the Indian wars
in accordance with nature and tradi-
ton The Modocs treacherously
slew General Canby and other unof-
fendingcitizens andthe whole country
cried out in horror' and Indignation
/ The horror was natural and the in
dignatiOn just. But reverse the pic
ture. Suppose treacherous white
men had slain Captain Jack and his
comrades, what difference of opin-
ion there would have been abroad in
! this Christian land. The advocates
of justice and faiT dealings, even with
savages, would have Indignantly de
nounced the treachery. Bot not the
less would q very Large number Of
men and women have applauded the
deed. At worst, public sentiment
would have condemned with many
qualifications. Coming nearer home,
suppose the colored men of Grant
, parish, Louisiana, had driven the
whites into the court house as q ref
uge: and suppose the negroes had
then set fire to the courthouse and
deliberately shot down the white
refugees as tn, y attempted to escape
their fiery doom, do we not know
that such savageS "ould nave nlieo
the country with hc rror and lndIg-
nation, and justly too!
But alas! The terms'of this last
horror are reversed. 1t was the "su-
perior" race, that made a funerea pile
of the Grant county courthouse aud
the hundreds of colored fugitiveA'
therein gathered. 1t was by indi-
viduals Of the race that boasts of its
civilization and refinement that this
more than Indian barbarity was per-
pertrated. So there is a difference
Of opinion among the gentlemen who
write SO learnedly of the superior"
ard "inferior races, and one portion
of the press Of this Christian land
will do its best to cover up and con-
done this barbarous lapse. For the
indian there is no excuse, though We
never hear him boasting his superior
civilization. But for the = superior"
race there is this excuse, that they
cannot tolerate the presence Of a
people inferior to them in the ac-
complishment Of civilization. We
should think not.
