In a Western Police Court.

An Indian had been picked up drunk,
and though it was proposed to let him
go over the river it was desirable to
have him understand that no Indian
had any more rights than white man.
"Child of the whispering forest-son
of the grassy plains--it grieves my
spirit to see you here, said his Honor.
Only few more moons will come and
go before you will be gathered to the
happy hunting grounds of your broth
ers gone before. You are an aged
chief; time has shorn you of your
strength. You can no longer chase the
wild cunderango and follow the roe
buck. The buffalo grazes in front Of
your lodge, and your arm is not strong
enough to draw the bow. The rum
bling thunder and the sharp lightning
make you afraid. Once you could not
count the camp fires of your tribe, SO
many did they number ; now there is
nothing left of your great tribe but
yourself, two old army blankets, and a
shot gun with the lock out of repair.
Sun of the forest, why is this thing
thus, and what do you mean by coming
onto my trapping grounds and getting
drunk ?"
"The white chief has spoken many
wise Words" replied the Indian in
measured tones, resting one foot on the
edge of a sp1ttoon. "My race have
fallen like the leaves-been washed
away as water washes out the marks OF
chalk. I stand alone. My camp fire
has gone out, and my lodge is cold and
has no meat. Kaw-nee-ke. kick has
tears in his eyes when he looks to the
west and no longer sees the smoke OF
many camp fires. Our great chieftans
have fallen, our warriors are dust, and
the wolf utters his lonesome howl on
the spot where stood our big village l
am sad"
"The red man may CO." said his
Honor. "I cannot give you back your
dead I cannot cover the hills and
meadows with forest again the wild
fox and the deer have sought the deeper
glens, and no power can waken the
warriors whose whoops rang from hill
to river. Go back to your lodges, be-
ware of frewater keep in nights
vote early and often, and be virtuous
and you'll be happy"

Ladies' Locked In a Church.

The Allegheny (Pa.) Mail says -
"Some of the ladies of the congreRa-
tion of the Union Episcopal Church, in
this city, few evenings since held
meeting in the vestry. After they had
got through with the business in hand,
several of the fair ones went from the
vestry into the church, and the janl-
tress, thinking they had gone home,
locked up the edifice and went to her
residence. After short absence in the
audience-room, the ladies returned to
the vestry and discovered that they
were locked in. All the doors were
tried, but still no means of egress could
be found. After several Intellectual
efforts to obtain assistance by calling
out in all the sweet modulations OF
which the female voice is capable, one
young lady volunteered to creep out
through a hue, and succeeded in so
doing, but with considerable damage to
her clothing. When outside herself,
however, good deal remained to be
done, the remainder of the fair bevy
positively declining to attempt the pas
sage. When the janitress had been
found by the lady who had gallantly
passed through the fue, it was only to
learn that she had handed the keys over
to the sexton, who was supposed to
have gone into the country for couple
of days. However, diligent search was
made for him, resulting finally in his
discovery, and the imprisoned fair ones
were set free. When found they were
all close together in one corner, fo
company, and an irreverent observer
noticed that they had been crying"

Jim BarndOIIar's Shirts.

The boys tell a good one on Jim Barn
dollar, of the Oswego Agency. 1t
seems he had sent his washing to full
blooded Usage squaw who was to have
it done and bring it home on Saturday
night. The squaw failed to fulfill the
contract, however, and on Sunday Jim
had to go to church with the same suit
he wore during the week. In the mean
time he had sent word to his washer
woman to "bring them shirts" He
had just got comfortably seated in the
church, and the grave minister had
opened up in thunder tones on sinners
generally, when in stepped big Usage
Indian with a package under his
blanket, who began making all kinds of
unintelligible signs to our friend. Jim
appeared to take no notice of his
presence, however, until by his audible
whispers and frantic gesticulations the
Indian had attracted the attention of
the entire congregation, and fairly
Mortified our hero by drawing forth q
shirt with a stunningly clean front,
several pairs of socks, and other things
that go to complete fashionable young
mans wardrobe. This was too much
for him, and he Immediately arose, and
beckoning the persistent laundry clerk
out, he then and there exhausted both
the English and Usage vocabulary oi
epithets, after which he took charge ol
the clothes, and told the dusky warrior
to go his way. Profane language is
prohibited at the agency, but it is saiG
that Jim make good use of all the EN-
phatic religious adiectives that came
within his grasp.-Kansas Courier.

The YOnkers Child Story.

Jacob Muller, machinist of River
dale avenue, Yonkers, N. Y, called
upon DR.. J. Fl. Pooley and asked him
tovisit his little daughter. as he thought
she was dying. DIR. Pooley saw the
child, little girl of seven years, and
found her suffering from dropsy, which
frequently follows scarlet fever, from an
attack of which the girl had lately re-
covered. He was told that the family
physician had given up all hope of
saving her life. After prescribing for
the patient he called again. and again
prescribed, with but little hope of
saving her life, and promised to call on
the next morning. When on his way
to Muller's house he was met by a mes
senger, who informed him that the
child was dead.
While preparations were being made
for the funeral, the family, influenced
by friends, became impressed with the
belief that the child was not dead.
The suspicion became certainty, and
from the household report reached
the street that Jacob Muller's daughter
was lying in trance. The story trav-
eled, receiving additions as it went, and
it was given out with all gravity that
the girl had died, had come to life, and
had actually sat up in her coffin.
Next morning another messenger
went for DIR. Pooley, saying that the
child was not dead. He hastened to
the house, made careful examination,
and assured the parents that the child
was dead, without the shadow of a
doubt but they had become possessed
with the belief that the little one was
alive, and would not let the body leave
them until every effort to resuscitate it
should be tried. 1t had then been for
some days on ice. DR.. Pooley, feeling
that should the body be buried while a
doubt remained in the minds of the
parents, the mere thought would be a
source of lifelong misery, advised
them to place it in warmer room and
have it watched necessarily. His iu-
structions were followed, and two nights
after the parents were convinced that
life was extinct, and the next afternoon
the BODY was buried,

softly and Metella pressed her lips to
his brow, on which the damps of death
we're gathering. The young people
we're kneeling beside him. All sur
rounded him. He looked up, smiling,
and his lips moved, but no sound came;
and then spasm of pain contracted his
features, and the heavy head fell back.
He was dead.
It is scarcely needful to say that some
six months later from the date of these
events Alberto Parnell and Metella
Stewart were married. Their expe-
rience of welded life has been happy
and prosperous one; but whenever the
wind walls shrilly around the gables,
and the white flakes come driving in
heavy showers from the desert country
beyond the frontier to the northwest,
the sound and the sight combine to
evoke the recollections of Caryl's early
grave, and of the unselfsh sacrifice
which was the last act of his blame

Thoughts for Saturday Night.
nurseth thinking.

thinking nurseth thinking.
Necessity never made O good bar
gain.
Love is loveliest when embalmed in
tears.
Ill news is winged with fate, and flies
apace.
Every fancy you consult, consult your
purse.
A thought often makes us hotter than
q fire.
Men must be taught as though you
taught them not.
Constantly choose rather to want less
than to have more.
The busiest of living agents are cer-
tain dead mems thoughts.
Marriages are best of dissimilar ma
terial. Theodore Parker.
Mind and heart will meet, though
forbidden, like hidden lovers.
Neutrality, as a lasting principle, is
an evidence of weakness.
All the rarest hues of human life take
radiance and are rainbowed out in
tears.
A good name will wear out a bad
one may be turned a nick name lasts
forever.
The wealth of the soul is measured
by how much it can tell 4; its poverty by
how little.
The quivering flesh, though torture
torn, may live but souls once deeply
wounded, heal no more.
1t is not the greatness of mans means
that makes him independent so much
as the smallness of his wants.
Moderation is the insensible compan-
ion of wisdom, but with it genius has
not even nodding acquaintance.
Being mortal, you have stumbled
in this mortal life, it is wonder when
a man has been happy throughout his
life.
A lovely countenance is the fairest Of
all sights, and the sweetest harmony is
the sound of the voice of her whom we
love.
Few are the faults we f1atter when
alone; vice sinks in her allurements, is
ungilt, and looks, like other objects,
black by night.
The heir must believe his title to an
estate in reversion before he can hope
for it; faith believes it's title to glory,
and then hope waits for it. Did not
faith feed the lamp of hope with oil,
it would soon die.

Physical and Mental Disease.

A writer in Chambers Journal speaks
of the fact as decidedly noteworthy
that the common opinion that exces-
sive mental occupation gravitates to.
ward insanity is not only not verified
by facts, but that, on the contrary, one
of the foremost living physicians
doubts whether alienation of mind is
ever the result of overstrain /; it is to
physical, not to mental, arrangement,
he thinKs, that excessive work of the
brain generally gives rise. Insanity,
he points out, finds the most suitable
material for its development among the
cloddish, unedueated classes, while the
worst forms of physical diseases are
originated and intensified by the edu
Gated, over-strained workers.

Some Old Cities.

Ninevah was fourteen miles long,
eight miles wide, and forty-six miles
round, with wall 100 feet high and
thick enough for three chariots abreast.
Babylon was fifty miles within the
walls, which were seventy-fve feet
thick and 100 feet high, with 100 brazen
gates. The Temple of Diana at Ephe-
sus was 420 feet to the support of the
roof-it was 100 years in building. The
largest of the pyramids was 4S1 feet in
height and S53 feet on the sides. The
base covered eleven acres. The stones
are about sixty feet in length, and the
layers are 208. 1t employed $4,000
men in building. The labyrinth of
Egypt contains 300 chambers and
twelve halls, Thebes, in Egypt, pre-
sents ruins twenty-seven miles around,
and contained $50, 1000 citizens and 4OO,
600 slaves. The Temple of Delphos
was so rich in donation that it was
plundered of $50, 900, 900, and the EN-
peror Nero carried from it 200 statues.
The walls of Rome were thirteen miles
around.

How Statues are Made.

The bronze statuary just now so
popular is manufactured by simple
enough process. Over the clay model
is poured a coating of plaster of paris,
which, having been allowed to set, is
taken off in sections, thus allowing a
hollow mold of the figure. From such
a mold is produced stucco duplicate,
either of the entire statue or of such
portion thereof as is intended to be
cast at q time, and on this again is
formed a second mold of greater thick
ness and solidity for the reception of
molten metal. The material used for
the final mold is composition of stucco
and brick dust. This is applied in a
plastic state to the stucco model, from
which it's inner surface takes the form
Of the figure. Were statues cast solid,
it would now only be necessary to sepa-
rate mold from model, and run metal
into the former till its interior was
filled. This, however, would involve
absurd waste, and, in order to econo-
mize material, solid core is placed
inside the mold, le wing only such
space all around as will receive the
thickness of metal deemed necessary
for the work in hand. The mold with
it's core having been thus completed
and firmly hooped round with bands OF
iron, is placed in kiln to bake to per-
feet dryness. This precaution is neces-
sary from the circumstance that even a
trace of moisture might, on the appli-
cation of molten metal, occasion dan
gerous explosion. In the case of the
casting now in question the drying OF
the mold occupies some weeks. On the
removal from the kiln the mold is
buried in dry earth below the floor ol
the foundry, only the aperture for re.
ceiving the metal and the vent-hole fo,
the escape of air remaining visible.

The Story Of q Student.

The case of student of the Rensse-
lear Institute of Troy, who was caught
thieving, has been mentioned in the
papers. The narrative of temptation
and fall is interesting. The students
do not lodge at the Institute, and this
one had room by himself over q book
store. Late one night while sitting at
his window he dropped gold ring,
a young lady's gift, for the young stu
dent was a favored and flirting beau,
and he disliked to lose it. So he took
the cord from his bed, made sort of
knotted ladder, and climbed down to
the roof The ring was found, and
just as he was going to reascend he
caught glimpse through the crack of
shutter of the lighted but uninhabi-
ted interior of the book store. He saw
costly volumes lying around, and the
sight ruined him. He pried open the
shutter and went in. There he found
scientific instruments used in his studios
of the handsomest patterns. Making
up bundle of what pleased him most,
he climbed back into his room with the
plunder. His adventure kept him
awake all night, but on visiting the
store next day he found that the theft
had not been discovered. His own
social position would in any event have
protected him from suspicion. He
might have stopped here had not his
love of female appreciation asserted it.
SELF The stolen books made excellent
gifts for his fair acquaintances, who be-
longed to families of high social posi-
tion. Three more midnight visits to
the book store were made, and the stu
dent soon got reputation for princely
liberality and elegant taste. The book
store folks, too, finally connected that
hberality with their losses, and a
patient investigation exposed the ANA
teur thief.

Very Pretty.

A farmer in a neighboring county has
invented an ingenious method of orna-
menting apples for holiday presents,
Christmas trees, etc. 1t is so simple
as TO be in reach of every one, and it
may be invaluable to many of our read
ers who are unable to afford their chill
dren more costly presents this year.
Here is the secret: Take strip of
paper and cut children's names then
place the papers around apples when
they begin to color /; and in a week or
two Mamie, Jamie, Johnnie, or Susie
appears on the apple in large red let
tiers. These, picked and barreled by
themselves, bring fancy prices for the
Christmas market.

NeShOba County White Line.
RED CHIEF.

The following resolutions passed
at a meeting of the white citizens of
Neshoba County, Miss, speak for
themselves in the right way:
Resolved, That white men of Ne
shoba County, Miss, in Mass Meet
ing assembled, in consideration of
due regard entertained by US for our
ancient and inalienable claims as
sOvereigns of this Southern soil, and
for the protection of our altars and
firesides, and for the maintenance of
the honor, purity and preservation Of
our superior race untarnished, and the
better to establish law and order in
us. aud acting in accoruance WIN
this determination, be it further
Resolved, That we will support
white men of merit, of the wv hlte
Mans Party for office and none
other; believing that this is a white
mans government and it should be
controlled by honest white men only
as it was in the days of Washington.
And we cordially invite all true and
honest men of whatever party, Il
unite and cooperate with us.

Editing a Newspaper.

Editing a newspaper (says a con-
temporary is very pleasant thing
If it contains too much political mat
ter people will complain if it con-
tains too little they won't have it. II
the type is too large, it don't contain
enough reading matter; if the type is
too small they can't read it. If we
publish telegraph reports, folks say
they are nothing but lies; if we omit
them they say we have no enterprise,
or suppress them for political effect
If we have a few jokes folks say we
are not grave enough, ifw omit them,
they say we are an old fossil. If we
give a man q complimentary notice.
we are cursed for being partial, if we
do not, all hands say we fail to dc
Justice, &c, &c. The truth is, an
editor has hard road to travel. We
wish all who criticise a newspaper
could try their hands and their head;
(for it requires an active exercise o
both) for a week or two at the occupa
ton. 1t would probably free then
from "many foolish notion"
