The Belle of the kiOwas.

4 correspondent of the Springfield
Republican,. writing of the Kiowas,
says 81 saw but few of their women
that could lay claim to prettiness-only
one. perhaps, and that was a daughter
of Kicking Bird, who is lively, piquant
little thing, with arch, soulful eyes.
Her name is 'Topln, meaning woman.
She is but twelve years old. Shall L
describe her wardrobe First and most
rare, her buckskin cloak fringed and
spotted all over with elk's teeth, said to
be found now and then in the elk-this
kind of teeth-and, the elk being gone,
too, they are very rare and costly. Two
of them are valued at mule. There
were 500 on her cloak. Think of wear
ing $50 mules on ones back Paris
and New York are outdone here. A
skirt--sometimes of buckskin, some
times it is plain shawl-bought from
the traders, completes hertoilet. Topin
is not all frivolity. Some horses had
been stolen from the Texans and were
traced to Kicking Birds band. The
agent demanded their return the
horses are gone, the affair is likely to
cause trouble, when Topin of her own
accord comes forward first and offers
ten horses of her own herd to help re-
pair the damage"

4" Christian POmDeii.c

4 Roman correspondent says "a
most remarkable discovery has been
made by Chevalier de Rossi, on the
property of Mgr. de Merode Tor Ma
rancia, on the Via Appia. Everybody
is driving out to see it; the journals
are full of the story, and everybody
interested in Christian history is deeply
affected by 1t. 1t is the church of st.
Petroni, which has been found where
tradition said it was, in the second floor
of the st. Domitella catacombs. Ihave
gore out several times to see 1t. The
place presents a most curious and i'm
posing appearance. There are the
PROSTATE columns ; the apse the bases
of columns IN situ, delineating nave
and aisles ; great marble sarcophagl in
their places intact {; half-broken marble
inscriptions tombs of members OF the
Flavian family of st. Domitella, the
sister of the Emperor Titus st. Petro-
nilla, said to be the daughter of st.
Peter, and of the saints and martyrs
Nereus and Achilles. 1t is touching
sight. The lonely campagna, so plct-
uresque in its great stretches and clas-
steal outlines the soft, fragrant spring
season; the sky full of Spipoi or mead
ow-larks, and down below us these
great, gaping, empty tombs and the de-
serted basilica. 1t seems as If 1t was
some Dantesque representation of the
day Of Judgment all over and ended,
some one said. 1t is Christian Pom
peii, which takes you back to apostolic
times "

THE reports of extensive damage to
the crops of Minnesota by, grasshop-
pers seem, fortunately, to have been
exaggerated in respect to the amount OF
destruction. The correspondent whom
we dispatched to the spot on the receipt
of the first alarming reports, is care
full and singularly exact observer. His
statement is that not over one-twentleth
OF the crop of Minnesota is effected.
The loss in some places is total, and it
falls upon class least able to bear it
poor pioneers, who have just establish
ed themselves on a clearing before all
their labor is swept away. The helping
hand of those who are more blessed by
fortune is needed by these suffering
farmers. They have neither bread nor
seed, and the prospect of hard winter,
with perhaps the repetition of the dis
aster next year, adds to their discourage
ment If any method could be devised
for killing the infects in the egg during
the fall and winter, the recurrence of
the calamity might be averted.-NcU

POlitencSS.

To be polite to each other is a duty.
'Douuto others as you would have them
DO to you" and who is there, trough
hewu though he may be- who does
like those little acts which are termed
polite. Genuine politeness is the Off
spring of u kind heart and is part Of
a good mans nature, being exercised
whenever and wherever an opportunity
presents itself. But there is great
deal Of acquired or llabitual po!ltencss
which does not truly represent the
feelings of the mau such as is practiced
by the suave aud amiable swindlers
who are wolves in Sleeps clothing
But from whatever source comes the
politenc<s, it is better than none ut all.
Our vanity makes it pleasing to us at
al times. If We are humbuggcd, our

We are surprised it has never been
thought of before. The editor is a
working engine, whose fires are going
day and night. Now he sails against
the tide, now with it, going along at a
dashing rate, until suddenly he comes
up standing against some hidden snag,
which nearly shivers his timber$ to
pieces. Whenever he moves he puts

leaves 4 wake of troubled waters be-
