Courtship Among the Indians.

The age of womanhood is hailed with
gladness by the parents, and is the occa-
sion of rejoicing in the form of feast,
to which are invited all the friends Of
the family. On this great occasion the
joyful father of the girl gives away as
many ponies, robes, and blankets to his
friends and the poor of his tribe as his
possessions permit. Now the young
girl is careful of her personal appear
ance, as the "bucks" will watch her.
She adorns herself in garments of fam
ing colors, paints in an extravagant man
ner, and powders her hair with sweet
smelling leaves. Polygamy is the almost
universal practice. There are three
modes of marriage. The courtship OF
one form of marriage is conducted in a
singular manner. \ young "buck,
becoming enamored of young squaw,
waits a convenient time, when, approach
ing stealthily, he wraps his blanket
around her, and then, holding her IN a
firm grasp, pours his tale of love and
devotion into her sometimes unwilling
ear. This being completed, he goes to
the father, and he price of the maiden
is agreed upon according to the young
mans wealth: one to three and some
times more ponies are given for the GIRL

But in that one moment the narrow
dogma of years had been overthrown
beneath the touch of the finger of love.
"My son, forgive you, as am for
given; as desire You to forgive me for
forgetting your rights in seeking to main
tain my own" With strong sob such
as man gives when his stubborn heart
is melted, he held out his hands in bless
ing over the bowed head of his son.
Then every knee was bent, while prayer
of thanksgiving went up from every
heart for joys and mercies and peace
which settled down upon their homes
this Thanksgiving Eve.

BY ELIZABETH W. pENIsoN

A wonderful October day.
An atmosphere OF gold and azure,
Made ready, one might dare to say.
For perfect rest and purest pleasure.
Some children, oyerworn with care,
Poor, tired children. grown so weary
With many things TO do and bear,
They almost thought the world was dreary.
- Shall we go out TO play ?" they said,
And then spake softly 10 each other,
As If their hearts were comforted:
20 let us go and see our mother"
For she hath early called and late,
From mountain blue and shining river;
From where cool shadows lie in wait,
And where the sunbeams dance and quiVer.
"Come home" she cries. e" | long for you,
With hands 80 fun of gift and blessing
That all about my path strew
What kings are poor in not possessing
And when, with swift and eager feet.
These Rrown-up children sought ana found her,
She met them with welcome sweet,
And blessed them as they gathered round her.
Through lovely, lonely woodland ways
She led them to her fields Elysian;
Around them slept the golden hare,
Above them shone the mount Of Vision.
at is enough" the children said,
"Our hearts with thanks are overnowing;
Can heaven be interpreted?
The rest is surely past our knowing
"Come up" the mother answered them,
And led the way through misty splendor;
They almost touched the garments hem,
spell was on them deep and tender.
Then upward still, away, away,
With strange new strength no toll could weary,
Until they heard the mother say,
- Behold your world that was so dreary."
The utmost mountain height was gained
Beyond the realm of outward beauty
Some higher law eternal reigned,
As grand as Truth severe as Duty.
But IL the mother showed them there
The secrets of her inner glory,
If EARTH like Paradise, grew fair
They never told the wondrous story.
They went their way with their hearts ahame,
AID only by their nobler living
We knew the benediction came,
And guessed the joy of their Thanksgiving.

MOTHS will work in carpets in rooms
that are kept warm, in the winter as well
as in the summer. A sure method of re-
moving the pests is to pour strong alum
water on the floor TO the distance of half
yard, around the edges, before laying
the carpets. Then, once or twice during
the season, sprinkle dry salt over the
carpet before sweeping. Insects do not
like salt, and sufficient adheres to the
carpet to prevent their alighting upon it.

MICHIGAN, Wisconsin and Iowa are
very nearly equal in population. Mich
igsn and Wisconsin comprise about the
same area, and are about equal in gen
eral industries, with the exception that
Wisconsin produces more beer than il
consumes, but Michigan consumes more
than il produces.

A Lamentable Tragedy.

On The 25th of December a card
was published 10 the New Orleans
Picayune by Ex-Governor Warmoth,
which was taken as a gross insult
to both Mr.. Daniel c. Byerly, Man.
ager, and Mr.. f. L. Jewell, one of the
Associate Editors of the Bulletin, and
for which Mr.. Jewell challenged Gov.
Warmoth, who it seems accepted the
challenge, and the fight was to take
place in Alabama on Monday, the
2Sth. On Saturday Mr.. Byerly met
with Gov. Warmoth on Canal street,
Immediately attempted to cane him
and in the conflict both of them fell,
Warmoth falling bottom, and while
they were down Warmotb stabbed
Byerly six.!imes with pocket spring
dirk, from which Mr.. Byerly died that
night at IO:4O O'Clock. Gov. War
moth was Immediately arrested and
confined in prison.
Mr.. Byerly was high-toned gen.
tlemaD, and a most Jealous defender
Of tie peoples rights, and though
not native of the South, was q
staunch Southern man in principle
and gallant soldier in the Confederate
army, in which he received a wound
which disabled him for life. Although
be no doubt acted very rashly in
assaulting Wsrmoth in the manner
in which he did. we have no doubt
but that lie was actuated by high
sense Of honor.
While we grieve over the loss of
SO jealous and true a member of the
press Of Louisiana, we would not use
q single expression that would lead
the public to PREJUDICE Gov. Warmotb
guilty of crime before be has fair

Volume Seven,

With this issue the BEACON enters
upon the seventh year of its existence,
during which short space of time it
has indeed witnessed many changes
of scenes and actors-many scenes
of sadness and joy-through all of
which it has held its course onward
if not upward, with generally steady
hand and clear head at the helm. 1t
has participated in the successes and
disasters of the people Of the coun-
try has tried to bear its own burden
and tighten that of others, and to
gather comfort for them from every
favorable indication. While the in
dications of future happiness and
prosperity for the people of our State
are not now very Ha,tering, yet mat
tiers might be worse, and We still look
forward with hope for a "better day
coming" and launch forth on our
seventh years voyage with brave
hearts and cheerful spirits. for "there
is life in the old land yet" and victory
for the stout heart aud gallant soul.
Let US hope that, with the New Year,
a better day is dawning both upon
the BEACON and all its kind and
generous readers.
