THE BEAUTY OF PURITY,

Goethe was in company with
mother and daughter, when the lat
ter, being rcproved for something
blushed and burst into tears. He
said to the mother, GLOW beautiful
your reproach has made your daugh-
ter ! The crimson hue and those
silvery tears become her much bet
ter than any ornament OF gold or
pearls that may be hung on the neck
of any woman these are never seen
unconnected with moral purity. A
full blown flower, sprinkled with pur-
est dew, is not so beautiful as this
child, blushing beneath her parents
displeasure and shedding tears of sor-
row for her fault. A blush is the
sign which nature hangs out to show
where chastity and honor dwell"

REMINDS Hm or 4 Sr0RY.-
Grants letter, in the meaning intend
ed and the meaning as read, reminds
Don Piatt Of letter written once
upon a time by tho late Horace Gree
ley. He says;
"The white>headed philosopher
wrote hand that made one cross
eyed without resulting in a decipher'
ing of its meaning. One day Hor-
ace was penning lively article that
taxed his gigantic intellect to Its ut
most, when a poor printer above, eX
pectorating at knot hole, shot some
of the fluid down upon the bald head
of the senior editor. Greeley was
furious, he wiped his bald head and
swore great oaths la thin falsetto.
Then he obtained the name of the
offending tobacco worm and wrote
him a discharge, The man accept
ed the situation IS explained to him,
put the note in his pocket, and, pull
ing on his coat, walked over to tho
Times building and demanded work.
Being asked for recommendation
from tie last printing office at which
he had worked, the fellow coolly pro
duced Greeley'o discharge. 1t was
looked at from all sides without
fetching out a reading and at last
was pronounced acceptable, and the
Jour, went to work. He run on that
letter of recommendation i0F three
years, when Greeley caught him at
ii. The parallel to that extraordina-
ry event is to be found in the way
the Republican party has taken Gen.
Garnt's acceptance Of third term
as note positively declining.'

VOLCANIC ACTON IN ICELAND.

VOLCANIC ACTION IN ICELAND.
Following closely upon the celebra
ton of the thousandth anniversary Of
the settlement of Iceland, comes the
announcement of the greatest calam-
ity the island has ever known. A
few weeks ago, the northern coast of
Norway was covered to the depth Of
several inches by shower of cinders.
The phenomenon led to the belief that
some terrible eruption had occurred
in Iceland. A steamer was dis
patched, the Captain of which on his
arrival out, learned Of a series of the
most terrible disasters that have ever
visited the region. Live volcanoes
had spouted fire, and those that had
been inactive for ages broke out and
belched their igneous contents over
the surrounding country. In one
section alone-that around the village
of Myvatu-the entire country Tor
fifty miles around has been made des-
olate. Hundreds Of lives have been
lost, and thousands of people are lett
without homes or food.

GRASSROPPERS.

Reports from all parts of Southern
Nebraska, say that the grasshopper
ravages have been greatly exagger-
ated, and that they have left all that
section of the state, or the few that
remain are doing very little damage.
Those that came from Kansas and
Missouri made but brief stay, and
did but little injury.
Wheat and other small grain will
turn out from a half to a whole crop,
according to locality. Where corn
and other grain are seriously injured,
the farmers are replanting and ex-
pect fine crops.

INDIAN NAMES AND HABITS.

We have been shown letter from
Mr. A. II. Norwood, written from
Tahlequah, Cherokee Nation, dated
May 18th, addressed to Mr.. 4. +.
Jeii'ries, now at Limestone, Wash>
ington county, Tenn. In speaking
Of Cohutta Springs, in Tennessee,
he believes they possess great me-
dicinal properties. lie learns from
an cid Cherokee Indian that Cohutta
means "high projecting rock. -
Dahlonega, in Cherokee, means yell
low, from gold discovered there.
Coosawatio means "the ancient
abode Of the Creeks" Coosa is the
old word for Creek, and "watie' old
home, as this tribe once lived along
that river in little towns.
lie further says, Ifyou was here
this morning you could see some
thing interesting. There about 400
Indians in town. stood yesterday
and looked with wonder and admira-
ton on the dense throng. | never
saw so many Indians before. They
are paying out the per capita. The
honor and integrity of the Indian
cannot be doubted, for they have
been trading on their head right and
they are just as punctual in paying
all debts as in receiving. mean by
this the majority, for some have
been fully enlightened in the art of
swindling which is more from imita>
ton than depravity. They are hos
pitable and seem to be unconscious as
to the quantity or its being exhaust>
ed, when acquainted. They follow
the old adage sure, Take care Of the
present and the let the future pro-
vide for itself But you touch their
soul when you touch their national
sovereignty. Then there is a reac-
ton. They look into the future then
with suspicious eye. They then
doubt the integrity of mankind.
No Spartan ever loved his country
with more feryor than the Cherokees

MORGAN'S MURDER.

Years ago, says the St. Loois Dis
patch, the story Of Morgan's murder
by the Freemasons was most effect
ually disposed of by no less person
than Morgan's own son. Instead of
being mysteriously butchered, he
was arrested after the exposure OF
Masonry came out and held some
time a prisoner, aud finally released
upon the condition that he should
leave the country forever, and he
was accompanied by Masonic com
mitteo as far as Quebec. Here he
entered the British navy, sailed for
England, finally got discharge and
settled at once in Van Dieman s
Land, where he started a newspaper
called the Advertiser, which still
survives him. His son was resi-
dent of San Francisco at the time,
but visisted his father every two
years and published an emphatic de-
NAL of bis fathers murder.
