TAR AND FEATHER REFORM.

TAR AND FEATHER REFORM.
The following little poem was written 81.
lady shortly after the women Of q certain Wis
cOnsn town had mObbed aud tarred and feath
cred a fair but "fallen one' Of their own sex.
It is severe but Just rebuke at the uni Just and
memorable laws OF society:
Pour the tar Oh, pour it thick;
Bring the feathers, make them stick
On her temples smooth and far,
In the ms shes of her hair,
There, now, shameless cour.esan,
Charm your lovers if you canl
But the lovers-Where are they?
Silently they stink awaJ.
BOYS must SOW wild oats, you know;
Scold them well and let them go,
Boys are boys; to err is human
Tar and feathers for the woman,
Woman? she is but a child.
Well no matter; drive her VII :.
Young and fair? so much the worse
Brand her deeper, let the curse
On her young head weighing down,
Crush her, force her OH the town.
She is fallen, that's enough,
Give her, henceforth, kick and cuff.
While we work and pray and weep
For the heather DER the deep,
We are saints of purity
We are Christians-don't you see?
When we women have our way.
When it cOmes-that glorious day.
When we sit in honor great,
Plotting the ship Of State,
All Shall then, as well as we,
Practice this our theory:
Never right sinking boat,
When woman is atloat,
If her record holds a flaw,
Do not throw her cen straw,
Kick her roughly, push her down;
Hold her under, let her drown
ELLEN p ALLERroN.

[Of Saltwater, Mimi.
What dusky face is this, whose incantations
Call out the Witching melodies we hear
Whose dusky hand sweeps through our aspir-
atoms
In grandest cadence to the charmed ear
Not that blind lmbeclle, whose face distorted
In hideous gr.mace, bows, and leers, with
glee.
Surely that thing, which natures plan has
thwarted,
Can never be this Prince OF Melody.
Aye, It's the same, in its own darkness dwell
Like blind captive III /. dungeon drear,
Who whites away the hours in music, telling
All his vague yearnIng in Gods listening
ear.
As through an ebon vase lighted taper
CLEANS with strange radiance, fitfully and
So through this face the torch lit by his Max
Proclaims in flashes. this is still his child
Blind and an imbecile, God did not leave thee,
Imprisoned spirit, struggling in thy gloom.
Lol a proud gift Is thine, that kings might en-
Wy,
To crown thy life and gorify thy tomb.
And if thou in thy elf like degradation
know'st not the weakness OF thy feeble
mind,
Ali not the less comes mllsic exalt2tian,
To lift thee hig h above thy bestial kind.
Aye, not the less stirS in thee wierd fanCies,
Woraess and voicelesS, TIL song bids him

And lol the Imbecie becomes d Wizard
A mighty Necromaucer evermore.
Not always shalt thou stamble in thy blind

One door Heav II iii its own LOVING kindnes.
Flung wide that thou might'st hear Omnip p

Depth Of the Great Lakes.


There is a mystery about the Amer
lean lakes. Lake Erie is only sixty or
seventy feet deep, but Lake Ontario,
which is 500 feet deep, is 2S0 feet deep
below the level of the ocean, or as low
as most parts of the Gulf of st. Law
renee; and the bottom of lakes Huron,
Michigan and Superior, although the
surface is much higher, and all are
from their vast depths on level with
the bottom of Ontario. Now rs the
Detroit river, after allowing all the
probable portion carried off by evapo-
ration, does not appear by any means
equal to the quantity of water which
the three upper lakes receive, it has
been conjecbured that a subterranean
river may run from Lake Superior, by
tho Huron, to Lake Ontario. This
conjecture is not Impossible, and ac-
counts for the singular fact that her.
ring and salmon are caught in all the
lakes communicating with the st.
Lawrence and no others. AS the Falls
of Niagara must have always existed,
1t would puzzle the naturalist To say
how these fish got into the upper lake
without some subterranean river. Pc
riodical examinations of the river
would furnish q not improbable solu-
ton of the mysterious influx aId re-
fiux of the lakes. asi ef.a

The Wrongs Of the Red Man.

The long series of wrongs heaped
upon the aborigines OF America ever
since the discovery and settlement of
this country, has nothing more heart
less or pathetic than the story of the
Temecula Indians which we print this
morning. We are accustomed to speak
of the cruelty and treachery OF the
savage, but the avarice and inhuman-
ity of the white man are even more
prominent features in American his
tory. In little more than two CEN
turtles the natives have been driven
from the Atlantic to the Rocky Noun
tains, and tribes as countless US the
leaves of the forest reduced to a mere
handful Of half-starved wretches. The
brave is no longer q warrior, but a
loafing and treacherous murderer, and
the Indian has no rights anywhere.
If he refuses to go upon a reservation
necessity requires that he shall be ex-
terminated. Ii he puts himself under
the fostering care of the Great Father
the Indian Ring is sure to lob him
first and allow him to starve after
ward. Go where he will, "civiiiza-
tion,n i'm one form or another, is sure
to follow him and to Cypress him. To
this fate the Temecula Indians are no
exceptions. Indeed, the story of their
misfOrtunes is one of the most pathet-
ic of the whole series. A hundred
years ago their children swarmed on
the Pacific coast. Now they are re-
duced to a beggarly five thousand.
Then the whole land was theirs. Now
they have not q foot of ground they

advancing civilization, they at last
settled dOwniamOng cone of tue San
Bernardino mountains; but the white
man from over the seas coveted the
spot for a sheep pasture, and the ma
tive is not even left room enough
to starve without disturbance One
Frenchman and two Scotchmen have
0usted the original lords of the soil,
and their sheep Craze in the Indians
last retreat. Is it thus the govern
ment of the United States takes care
of the rights of thesepoor peOple-the
rightful wards of the nation? Is it
possible that one Frenchman and
brace of ScOtchmen, either with or
without the consent of the govern
ment at Washington are allowed to
dispossess five thousand people, that
they may feed their sheep on the last
vestige of the heritage Of the red man?
The case, as presented in the letter OF
Col. Peel and transmitted to the In
dian Bureau, is one which not only
excites our sympathies, but demands
the Immediate attention Of the de-
partment and the country.-M York

A Public Urinal.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 3, 1876.
To the Editor Of the National Republican,:
SIR: This may be Of great benefit, or it may
become public nuisance. In our public parks
in this and other cities they are ornamentally
constructed and go located and adorned as not to
offend but even to please the public eye. These
are generally under the control of the Board OF
Health. In this city our Board Of Health has
done excelIently we'll, and our city is ably cared
for in a sanitary point of view. But great men
are liable to great mistakes, and our Board Of
Health has committed an almost inexeusSble
blunder in locating public urinal where they
have, at the corner Of seventh street and Penn
sylVanIa avenue 1t requires no stretch of the
Imagination to see what public nuisance this
will be. This is the most freQuented place In the
city, and our wives and daughters are compelled
to stand there on the corner TO walt for the cara
Now TO the Board Of Health, which has been
handling the subject Of night soil almost every
day for years, It may seem sll right to allow men
TO be thus publicly exposed and compel our clti-
Zens to be Spectators, but to our community this
urinal is public nuisance. Remove It, gentle
men, to the opposite square, and cover it with
trees, COMMON SENSE.

A Pleasant Affair,

The large audience which assembled at Lyceum
hall last night to enjoy the literary and musical
entertainment given by Morning Star Lodge, No.
8, !. o. g. T., best attests the appreciation in
which the affair was received by the public. The
programme was choice, as we'll as admirably con-
Quoted, and did credit not only to the large num-
Der Of performers, but to the taste with which It
was arranged by the committee charged with the
duty. If one might venture to discriminate where
all did so well, the tableau vlvant and pantomime
performances Of Miss Annie Lewis would be pro-
nounced as worthy Of especial mention. 1t is sell
dom that juvenile performer is found uniting so
much of sell possession with such marked ability.
Mr.. W. H. Gaines, Of the Third Auditors office,
did himself much credit in his bass solo, though
for several days past laboring under indisposti0n
from a severe cole.
The Morning Star and the other several lodges
Of Good Tenplars In the District are doing much
to advance the cause Of temperance by reinstating
those who have fallen q prey to rum to a social
equality and warmth Of friendly intercourse which
the toughest nature cannot fail to appreciate. 1t
lie the social feature of the lodge exercises which
gives the Good Templars success, and Morning
Star Lodge never fails to be in the advance.

ABOld Thief and q Quick Arrest.

MIR. William B. Hawes yesterday morning went
into the Bank of Washington for the purpose Of
deposIting some money, and, while waiting for
the cashier TO attend to him, placed his bank
book, containing $780, on the counter in front Of
him. A well dressed young man came up, and
remarked to Mr.. Hawes that he had dropped o
note lying at his feet, stopped and picked It up.
A few minutes afterWard he discovered that his
book and money and the gentleman who had
spoken to him about the note on the floor had dis
appeared. 1t is supposed that the note business
was a dodge to attract attention from the theff.
The officers at headquarters were notified at
once, and little before L O'Clock Detective Nc
Dewitt arrested two men at the Baltimore and
Potomac depot who were Just in the act of leav-
ing the city. They gave their names as Charles
Brown and George Davis. On the former was
found six twenty. dollar bills and one ten, making
all of the $50 taken from Mr.. HaWes. Brown
also had on his person $50 in smaller bills.
Brown was recognized as the well-dressed man
who had vanished from the bank,

NOVEL CENTENNIAL IDEA.
Shall Heay ems Masterpiece be Omitted!
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 4

WARRINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 4, $50.
To the Editor of the National Republican:
SIR: Its snotvery often that have abrilliantidea,
and when do think the country ought to have
the benefit oft. A specimen Of nearly everything
man has invented and made will be on exhibition
at the Centennial; why should the masterpiece of
Gods work be omitted? Let prize be offered
for the most perfect specimen physically OF q
man, and have o committee selected competent
to make the measurements, and let the Apollo
Belvfdere be the standard; and let the contest be
open to the world; and, besides this, committee
OF ladies (no gentlemen need apply might be
selected to determine, alter the standard OF the
Venus de Medicis, who is the handsomest woman
in the world. have no idea but what America
would carry of both prizes. In addition to the
novelty of such o contest, It would become
powerful promoter Of correct physical culture and
development, and thereby do much good. The
idea is quite easy OF extension SO as TO include
babies ND to eighteen months old and boys and
girls up TO seven years. There may be some un-
thinking persons who will be inclined to laugh at
this IDEA, but the more It is reflected upon the
more desirable will It seem.
Yours for physicist culture, APOLLO.
