THE New York SuHis beginning to dis
cover that organized religious bodies"
have been intrusted with the selection of
Indian agents. Heretofore it has assailed
the President and the Interior Department,
as responsible for this class of appointments,
as well as for the acts of the appointees.
Now it is to be presumed that it will assail
the religionists- agreeable task, for it de-
lights to besmirch anything that savors of
morality-with the same vigor that it for
merly assailed President Grant and Secre-
tarY Delano.

: The Cleveland Herald pithily remarks
that the latest news regarding Secretary
Delano's resignation "is contradicted,
whatever it is" We add that this is likely
TO continue to be the case. The invention
of the Detective Press has not been ex-
hausted yet, and so long as that resource
of imaginative facts lasts it is certain that
contradiction will continue to fly on the
heels of affirmation"

minutes the spade touched the head of
the coffin and, upon removing the nails,
a deep groan smots upon their ears.
As the student cautiously put his hand
within the coffin to lift the body out,
the hand of the girl. which was laid
palm dOwnwards over her eyes and
forehead, clutched the hand that touch
ed her like a wise, the mouth at the
same time uttering a most agOnizing
grOan. Wrapping the body in blank
cts, the two students bore 1t swiftly to
their sanctum, closed the door, and
there a sight revealed itself which
chilled the youths with terror and re-
morse. The lip was bitten through,
shreds of raven hair were twisted round
the fingers, and the left wrist was dis
located in the unavailing efforts of the
poor creature to free herself from mis-
cry. Once, only once, Hnder the infiu-
ence of a powerful battery, did she
open her eyes. But all was oversize
was dead-Billed by heartless custom,
UDseemly haste and burial ignorance.
There are many reasons why hasty
burials are iniudicious, not to say in
decOrous and unfeelipg. The use of
opiates and the increase of nervous
diseases in the United States have GER
tainly had a tendency to develop cases
of catalepsy or trance. a man sud

many forms of brain disease appar-

sary haste TO his last resting. place
In the heat of summer it is of course
desirable that speedy interment should
take place, but that very heat soonest
develops the sign which no eyes can
mIstake-the presence of decOmp posi-
ton. Until the phenomenon has taken
place it is neither right, reasonable nor
in accordance with common feeling
and decency that a body which has
lived its little life should be consigned
to the dust fresh from which it sprung.

Indigo and its FERMENTATION.

The dye called indigo" is obtained
IRON an herbaceOus plant cultivated on
large plantations in India. It is cut
close to the ground with reaping- hooks
and tied into bundles these bundles
on arriving at the factory are measured
by chain, being paid for 70 the ryots
at fixed rate of so many bundles for a
rupee, each man getting a paper stating
the number of bundles he has given IL
each day. A sufficient quantity of
plant having arrived, the filing of the
watts commences, the bundles of plant
are put into the upper row of watts till
they are filed, bambOOs are laid across,
and two heavy beams of wood are
tightly screwed down over them. The
filing of the watts being completed,
water IS pumped into them from a res
eryOir close at hand, these pumps being
worked by coolies feet treading them,
something after the fashion of a tread
mill. The plant is left sleeping, &C.
c1rding to the weather, from eight to
ten hours, 1t being the duty of the
"rung mistree"-tbe man who looks
after the details of the manufacturing
to say when the plugs closing the open
Ings leading from the higher to the
lower watts are to be reOpened and the
"6AtCA d4AOWSA " HOW luGO the lower
watts. This done, the heaters get in,
eight men to each vat, and commence
beating the water with long poles
shaped like paddles. The beating of
the watts generally takes about two
hours. The heaters present q most ex-
traordinary appearance as they step out
from the watts, dyed from head to foot a
dark blue, which gives their bronze
skins a curious tinge by which vat
coolies may be known for weeks after
the manufacturing. The beating of
the watts over the indigo subsidies the
waste water is carried off by means of q
drain, and the indigo flows by another
drain to the reservoir, whence it is
pumped into the boiler, boiled, run off
to table, pressed, and carried to the
drying as before described from
the time the plant is cut till the indigo
reaches the drying house occupying
from two to three days. On the proper
sleeping, beating, and boiling of the
indigo in a great measure depends the
quality of the produce, though the soil
on which 1t IS grown and the water in
which it is stepped also materially affect
it. The manufacturing season general
ly lasts about six weeks, and the indigo
Is fit for packing about the beginning
of November. Before packing COM
mences sample cakes of each days
manufacture are examined, and the in
digO arranged according to color, so
that each chest may be of as uniform a
quality as possible.

Essay on Woman.

Women are like everything else in
this world-a very mixed up affair.
According to our own observation,
there are
Women good and women bad,
Women gay and women sad,
Women big and women small,
Women short and women tall,
Women fat and women lean,
Women sweet and women mean
Women young and women old.
Women bought and women sold,
Women poor and women rich
And good many more women SIGH.
The first woman In this world was
Eve. Eve was a bad girl. She didn't
belong to the good templars. Eve
liked apple cider too weII-she wanted
hers dry. We never saw Eve, but they
say she was a pretty girl. Her fellow
was chap by the name of Adam. We
never went to school with him. Eve
was like the rest of her sisters-iust
tell her not to do a thing and she
would be sure to do it. Eve must have
been a country girl. she didn't care
much for fashion, and she made her
own clothes without a sewing machine.
She would be rather behind the times
should she visit US now.
Some women are very pretty. We
don't like pretty women-there are
always so many fellows around them.
They remind US Of a lot of flies on q
mOlasses stick. We like the molas-
ses, but-bother the flies.
Good women are plenty in this coun-
try, but they will never tell you of it !;
you have got to trail 'em out yourself
Bad women are everywhere. They
are like rotten apples III q barrel of
rTOn6 RI their. 6aoavaJ
influence around them. They Will
always try to make you believe they are
good. Don't take bad woman. She
Is counterfeit treasure. Look out for
trade mark.
Gay women are jolly fellows; always
on laugh. They make you feel good
clear to your sleeve buttons.
A sad woman ought to wear spectacles
with pink-colored glasses in them.
That would make her look at the world
in different light.
We don't know that we like a big
woman better than little one. If she
is so big that a step-ladder is required
to kiss her, we most respectfully de-
cline in favor of the small one. As we
reflect further on this subject, we come
to the conclusion that the small ones
are always preferable. They have a
tendency to hang themselves-around a
fellOw-and we want to furnish the ma
terial for hanging-post.
We hate a mean woman. We feel
like saying "deliver us from evil, -
whenever we see one. But give us a
sweet woman-One of natures own
children-with rosy cheeks and loving
eyes with q noble heart, high-toned
mind, a pure soul and a healthy body,
refined in taste, developed in intellect ;
or smalI-tO such a one We could say,
fly unto our arms, darling we love
you"

MEDICAL ADvERTIsING.-The medical
profession are out-spoken in their de-
nunciation of the system of medical
advertising, and declare that any medi-
cine that is advertised is a fraud. How
thoroughly inconsistent and unfair is
such an argument. The men who are
so loud in their criticisms, are those who
advertise themselves as medical savans
by OsteGtatious display splendid resi-
dences with massive door plates fast
horses and costly carriages. DIR. J.
Walker, of California, an old practltion-
er, respected alike for his skill and
conscientious independence, dares to
differ /; and having discovered in his
Vinegar Bitters a purely herbaIistic
medicine, free from all spirituous pois-
ons-a wonderful specific for numerous
disorders, advertises the same for the
reliet of his fellOw-man, and is borne
out IN his declaration of its many viz
tues by thousands of invaljds, who are
being cured OF disease by its use.

The Extravagance OF shoddydom.


Some of the New York furnishing
companies keep a score of artists IN
their employ who design the interior of
rich houses, so.that wall-hangings, cur
tains and carpets belong to each other,
and are made for each other. The
fittings of the parlOr of wealthy PhiIa-
delphia banker are all in Egyptian
style. The pale tapestry carpets, the
upholstery of the antique couches,
woven for the suite, and the bangings
which represent desert scenes, are tap
estry fine as mellow painting, at distance
enough to lose sight of the stitches.
This compound of light green and sand
yellow tapestry, ebony and ivory sphinx
heads, collins and claws, cost three
hundred thousand dollars money
enough, common folks would think, to
spend on one suit of parlors. A Cali
fOrnia millionaire has ordered from q
house, parlOr suite that cost two hun
dred and fifty dollars in gold, all de-
signed and made in New York. The
amount looks very large for these hard
times, but it is not business men or
those in active business who do these
things. 1t is those who have accumu-
lated great fortunes in stock, gold, oil,
or in some other way, and who have
hauled out OF the current with more
money than they know what to do with.

Snakes and Frogs:

snakes utter a cry "like a newborn

monies of the country; and one may
see here, "a well as in Assam, the Gu
