see that nobody was looking, and
touched the lit end of that cigar to

turned handspring, and the negro
opened his big mouth to laugh, but the
goat butted him SO quick between the
chin and his breaches pockets that his
jaws came together making noise
louder than the report of a qua. The
negro's hat, boots and cigar lay in a
pile, ten feet off, while his body was
curled up like a horse shoe in the
month OF sewer-opening. When he
sScame to- he looked around at each

A Relic of the Days Before the War
The Indian Negroes of Texas.

A somewhat remarkable relic OF ante
war times is now brought to public
notice in the shape of a race OF negroes
who were at one time slaves of the
Seminole Indians in Florida. This race,
or more properly tribe, of Indians num-
bered about 500 all told, and they have
resided for some time in Texas, whittier
they were transferred with their owners
many years ago. It appears that they
have made little or no progress in that
state, aud now, through the medium of
Colonel Hatch, of the United States
Army, prefer request to the Indian
Bureau either to be placed on some gov
eminent reservation elsewhere Or other
wise to be sent back to Florida, where
without owning lands they say
they can obtain them to work until
means are created by their labor to en-
able them to purchase. Col. Hatch
says that the land on which they were
placed in Texas is not susceptible of IT.
rigation, is worthless for purposes of
cultivation, and all good land is owned
by capitalists Or men Of means, while
there is much good land in Florida still
vacant. When thep were transferred
with the Seminoles from Florida to the
western territories their women and
children were kidnapped and sold into
slavery by Indians and white men.
This forced them to flee into Mexico.
They were induced to return by
promises which were never full
filed. They are now living in
great restitution, bordering upon
starvation. A few of them are en-
ployed by the government as Indian
scouts, which is their only means of
support. He says they can easily be
sent to Florida at very small expense.
If not, they will return to Mexico, 60
to the mountains below San Carlos,
about $50 miles west of the Rio Grande,
depredate on the ranches of Texas. and
furnish an asylum for deserters from
the frontier. They sre distinct race
from the Seminoles, add are like all ne
groes, except that they are accustomed
to bearing arms, are said to be brave and
daring, and superior to the Indians
in fighting qualities. Colonel Hatch
advices that they be sent on the score
of economy; rations could be issued to
them till they could find means for
their own living, and the old men say
that in Florida fisheries would furnish
them abundant food. Generals Ord
and Sheridan concur in the views of
Colonel Hatch, but it is quite probable
that the citizens of Florida would like
to have further vouchers rs to the good
character of the people before opening
their arms to receive them as settlers in
the Land of Flowers.

Beautiful Things.

Beautiful Things.
By ELLEN s. ALLERToN.
Beautiful faces are those that wear
It matters little if dark or fair
Whole-souled honesty printed there.
Beautiful eyes are those that show,
Like crystal panes where hearth fres glow,
Beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like songs Of birds,
Yet whose utterance prudence girds.
Beautitul hands are those that do
Work that is earnest and brave and true,
Moment by moment the long day through.
Beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministries to and fro
Down lowliest ways, if God Wills it go.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
Ceaseless burdens of homely care
With patient grace and daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers of happiness,
Whose hidden fountains but few may guess.
Beautiful twilight at set Of sun,
Beautiful goal, with race we'll won.
Beautiful rest with work we'll done.
Beautiful graves, where grasses creep,
Where brown leaves fall, where drifts Ii

The Place for Women.

One of the principal features Of the
middle ages is the recognition of the
fact that Christianity assigned to woman
a new place in the social order of the
world, very different from what it had
been before. The deep respect accord
ed by that epoch to woman could not
but exercise most powerful ard bene-
fetal influence on humanity; for
when man, confident IN his ply
steal force, reigns alone, we can
never expect to- see real human
culture develop itself. There now arose
kind of worship Of the beautiful, and
of female beauty in particular, and
that in higher and more refined sense
than had been the case with the now
Christian world. The Greeks, the Ro-
mans, and the Arabians, had bestowed
praise on woman, as necessary to their
happiness, but they treated her only as
an inferior, and even as slave.
The Christian world set before
itself new ideal. What man
now strives for is, that the lady
whose affections he endeavors to win
should recognize his personal worth;
that she should prefer him to. other
suitors; that she should love him be-
cause she honors and esteems him.
Such demand is based upon the sup
position that man considers woman his
equal, nay, that he looks up to her as a
superior being; the endeavor he makes
to deserve the favor of her he loves.
and to become worthy of her, reacts on
his own conduct. Love raises him
above all that is common and
vulgar: it becomes with him the
handspring Of every noble action; he can
lhenceforth neither do nor say anything
of which he would feel ashamed before
her. The Teutonic nations especially
seized the full Specification of this lofty
conception of woman and OF her place
