An Indian in COrsets.

AN Indian yesterday called into a
woodward avenue store to sell some
baskets, and he was so persistent that
one of the clerks finally took down an
old corset and offered it to him if he
would 60 away and buzz some one else.
What he for?" inquired Lo, as he
held up the corset.
Tut MIN on squaw-make her look
gay-here, this way" replied the clerk,
passing the corset around the Indian.
Ugh! Him good" growled Lo, and
he took the corset ana went out. Rex-
soning that what was good for squaw
was good for Indian, he slid into the
alley east OF the avenue, dropped his
baskets and started to put on the corset
He got it bottom side up hind side be-
fore, and every way but the right one;
but he finally saw what the matter was.
He removed his coat, took the corset
strings out, and then clasping the corset
behind him he put the strings back and
tied them in front of him, and the corset
was on. He folded W his coat, picked
up his baskets and appeared on the street
again, hat slanted over IBIS ear, and his
look betraylng his great Pride.
Great goats but what's that?" shout
ed the boys, as they caught sight of him,
and they laughed until they fell down.
The Indian presented a most laughable
spectacle as he passed up the avenue,
but he stepped high and didn't mind the
boys until policeman stopped him and
crowd gathered. Lo then got il
through his head that the clerk had sold
him, and that he was being made fun of,
and he unlaced the corset. threw it on
the sidewalk in great wrath, and ex-
claimed:

The Death Of Gerrit Smith.

The death of Gerrit Smith removes
from among the living one of the grand.
est OF the historic characters OF our land
and time. He was man to whom poll
tics meant neither honor nor office, but
who saw in the struggles of parties
twenty years ago a conflict between the
oppcSing forces Of right and wrong, and
who esfoused the right and supported it
with his intellect and his purse. He OPP
posed slavery, not because he was Re
publican, but because he was a philan-
thropist; he did noble service for the
cause OF freedom in Kansas, contributing
probably more than any other individual
from his private means to give triumph to
the good cause. And when the struggle
was over, not only in Kansas, but in the
Union, he did not forget our neighbor
State and her people; it is only u, few
weeks since we published his letter to
Gov. Osborn, inclosing liberal donation
for the relief of the sufferers from the
grasshopper plague. His whole life was
marked by deeds of unseltish benevo-
lence. He was rich, but part of his
riches was always at the disposal of the
deserving among the needy. He was but
one of many thousands who were made
happy by the wealth which he inherited,
and which, in the hands of selfish man,
might have been converted into for
tune compared with which that of Van
derbilt or Stewart might have seemed
small Such men we rarely meet in our
busy and greedy American life, and it is
unhappily one of the tendencies of the
times to leave their places unsupplied
when they pass awaY.-St Louis Globe.

How the Democrats Effected an Organ
ixatIOn.

We give this morning, from our own
reporter, very full and graphic account
| OF the scenes which TRANSFERRED in the
ate-House at New Orleans yesterday.
| 1t is marvellous how much noise and
buster fifty-odd Democratic White
Leaguers can make, and how many pis-
tolls they can draw without shooting any
body, in the presence of Federal troops
Notwithstanding the fact of a clear under
standing by everybody that it was the
purpose of the Federal Government to
sustain kellogg and the Returning Board,
the Conservative members of the lower
house OF the Legislature planned and ex-
ecuted coup detdt, swore in enough
members not reported elected by the
Returning Board to give them majority,
and proceeded to organize by the cleo
ton OF Speaker, Clerk, etc To accom-
pllsh this they violated the laws under
which they could alone act legally, and
then, with peculiar audacity, called upon
the military authorities to protect them
In their revolutionary proceedings. Gen
de lrobriand actually responded to the
call OF Speaker (g) Wilt and cleared the
lobby amid the vociferous shouts of
White Leaguers. 1t was but brief tri-
umph, however, for the General shortly
reappeared upon the scene bearing an
order from Gov. Kellogg directing him to
see that the laws were obeyed in the or
ganization of the House In pursuance
OF the order he removed from the floor
the five members illegally sworn in, and
requested Mr. Vigers, Clerk of the last
House, to proceed with the call of the
roll Tor the choice of a Speaker, which
being done, and Mr.. Hahn having been
elected, the House was duly organized,
and received message from the Governor
and a communication from the Senate,
the latter body having organized without
difficulty.-Chieago InterOcean, Jan. 5.

Insect-Catchlng Plants.

THE interesting facts lately asccr-
tanned with respect to the habits of in
sect-eating plants have induced among
naturalists closer examination of kim
dred tendencies wherein their existence
has been limited in the construction or
the circumstances Of any species of the
vegetable kingdom. AT the December
meeting of the st. Louis Academy, Prof.
Riley, State Entomologist, exhibited
some flowers of the Physionthus albens.
species of the Ascleptdace0 or milk
weeds, which had captured number of
sphinx-moths (Dselephi1a lineata) by their
tongues. In this plant, as in many of the
Asclcpidaceas, the stigma is curiously
reflexed and cleft Thus when insects
thrust their tongues into the flowers in
search of honey it often happens that the
intruding member penetrates one of
these clefts, and its owner finds it i'm.
possible to draw it out again. In short.
he is caught in trap, andxmust depart
leaving his tongue, that essential organ
of his existence, behind him or stay with
it and perish. Either way it seems
death tojthe hapless prisoner. In large
number of cases Mr.. Riley found that
insects chose to wrench themselves
away, leaving the tips of their tongues
laden with their spoil of pollen in the
miserable jaws or clefts of the stigmas.
These torn and broken limbs remaining
in the teeth Of the lowers furnish quite
as convincing evidence of their murder
Gus intentions as would the presence of
the entire bodies of their captives The
question now remaining for natnralists
to solve is, How DE- he insects caught by
the Asclepid..y cas-, or milk weeds. inure to
the benefits Of the plantsy In Europe it
has bee discovered that the common
oleander catches insects in the same
manner What purpose in the economy
of the plant do these captures server
That is the query next in order.-Chicago

Gov. kellogg's Financial Management.

The message of Gov. Kellogg to the
Louisiana Legislature was delivered
yesterday. 1t will probably remove many
preJudices and correct some misconcep.
tons OF him which have gradually arisen
at the North, more in consequence of
vague aspersions and innuendoes than by
strictly logical deductions from the
proved facts of Louisiana politics. The
Governor shows very clearly that his
financial administration has been not
only honest but intelligent, and that the
good effects of it will extend beyond his
term OF office, through the operation of
constitutional amendments recently
adopted. Gov. Kellogg advised and as
sisted in the preparation of these amend
ments, and large share of the credit
which they reflect upon the Government
OF Louisiana belongs to him. The finan
cial exhibit of the State for the past year
is very gratifying. The Governor SAYS
that not one dollar has been added to the
debt during the year; that the receipts
have been nearly equal to the expendi-
lures; and that there has also been a
great reduction in the rate of taxation
He gives figures to substantiate his state
ments. Certainly such results could not
have been reached without prudent and
wise management, even in prosperous
times; and especially must these have
been needed to accomplish so much
when the State was suffering from the
overflow of the Mississippi, the disturb
ances of the White Leagues, and the
financial panic of 1S73.-Chicago Tribune,

slonal sub committee on the Cd. He is
reported to have borne the following
testimony TO Gov. Kellogg's administra-
ton:
Cannot say that Kellogg has made
any great failure in State finances. Con.
slider the financial condition of our city
better to-day than before in twenty-five
years; we have not had protest in our
bank IN eighteen months, and the num-
Der of failures in our city has been far
less than in any other city of its size in
the country. The cotton crop is larger
than usual; our people are more eco
nomical, and there is less credit bust
ness; factors have not advanced as pro-
fusely as in former times. Crops are to-
day raised with less expenditure than in
past years; now We have large number
of small farmers, who annually produce
from four to ten bales of cotton, and
this is the reason why we cannot foretell
the extent OF the crop The small pro.
ducers do not draw on our capital. In
the attempt to work reform measures
the committee was seconded by Gov.
Kellogg, and he assisted US greatly. One
OF the reform measures was to change
the condition of the Police law; we had
the appropriations of the city for the
pay of the Metropolitan police reduced
from $3.50 600 to 100000 Think it i'm
possible for Louisiana to control the
leyees, when twenty-three States pour
their waters down upon her."

The take of herrings on the northeast.
ern coast OF Scotland this last season is
set down at S00,000,00 Most of the
cured fish go to the North German and
Baltic ports, to be consumed by German
peasants and emancipated Russian serfs.
Already 100000 barrels have been
shipped TO these regular market places.
The Scotch herring fishery is situated on
one of the most dangerous coasts in the
world, as the North Sea is especially
stormy, and there are few safe harbors
along Eastern Scotland. Yet it is said
that, with all the hardships and perils the
fishermen are compelled to undergo,
they are thriving and happy race, and

lower than that of many comparatively

Charge Against the Schools.

You tax US, and then use our taxes for
the teaching of your Bible, your history
and your hymns. Can we partake of even

That's it. Not only the Bible and the
hymn-book must go, but the history, text
book also. We are perfectly willing to
have the Bible and hymn-book CO. because
we do not believe they should be kept in

the historical Textbook must remain. Our
children must learn the fact of history. and
