An EsQuimaux Family.

A New London Conn., correspond.
ent of the Springfield Republican
writes: If not too weary with all this
you will like to visit an Esquimaux fam
lily about a mile from the fort. The
captain of the Polaris brought some OF
these artic people here, a few years
since, and this is now their adopted
home. Eleven have been brought here,
but six have died and three have return
ed, leaving only Ebebing and Tukilitoo,
whose English names are Joseph and
Hannah. Hannah receives her guests
with much cordiality, and talks freely OF
her northern home. She resembles the
Chinese, and I suppose the Esquimaux
belong to that race. When I called she
was dressed in buff calico and was
quilting. She has sewing machine,
which she uses nicely. She makes fur
garm ,nts with wonderful skill. She
speaks English quite well, and reads un-
derstandingly. Joe is her husband.
They lost their only child when it was
about two years old. Its name was
Tuckilickartar, which means little but
terfy. Captain Buddington had its
photograph taken after it died. They
had an adopted daughter named Ishil-
atoo, but they called her Punny, which
means little girl. Punny died when she
was ten years old. When going to
school one very warm morning, she ran
rapidly to overtake her companions,
and, being very fat, she became heated,
and, sitting down in the shade, contract
ed cold which brought on consump-
ton. They suffer much here from the
cold, as they have been accustomed to
dress in furs, and complain that their
clothes are full of little holes that let the
wind through. Hannah finds Connecti-
cut housekeeping a little difficult, but
still succeeds very well. I asked her if
she was ever homesick, and she said I:
No d! this me home now." The other
Esquimaux names are Hujesse, Eugnac,
Cudlargo, Shunarpignite, Able, Oose-
song and Italoo. They seem quite sus-
ceptible to religious impressions, and
Hannah reads the Sabbath-school books
with much interest. As few of that ma
tion have ever been brought to this
country deep interestattaches to them,
and they are anxious for the elevation
of their countrymen.

William Robertson's posthumous vol
ume contains this passage: "In the
darkest hour through which human
soul can pass, whatever else is doubtful,
this at least is certain. If there be no
God and no future state, yet, even then,i
it is better to be generous than selfish,
better to be chaste than icentious, bet
ter to be true than false, better to be
brave than q coward"

4 Washing Fluid.

A correspondent OF the Germanto wn
Telegraph says, to make good washing
fluid, take one-third ounce gum camphor
dissolved in one-half pint of alcohol /;
also ore-third pound of borax aud one
half pound sal soda, and dissolve in one
gallon OF hot rain water, and the fluid is
ready; after stirring all the Ingredients
together add one gallon OF cold rain wa
ter before adding the gum camphor and
alcohol. In using add about four table
spoonfuls to pint of soft soap, apply
to the parts of clothing most soiled, and
soak in warm water an hour, or while
doing up the breakfast dishes; then pro-
ceed with your washing as usual, not
boiling over five minutes.

started before sunrise, felt his knees
totter and his stomach call for food. BE
entered the first public house he came
to, and sold the cock for a dollar, and
as he had good appetite he gave away
the last farthing to satisfy his hunger.
"What use would the cock have been to
me-" he thought, If I had died OF
hunger9"
When he came near to his own farm
0" Gudbrand of the hill "begun to reflect
over the strange journey that he had
made. Before he went home he talked
about it in neighbor Peters house, who
was called the Greybeard.
"Friend," said the Greybeard, show
did you get on with your business in
the town to-day
$50, so," answered Gudbrand, 81
cannot say that I had much good fortune,
but I have not much to complain of :"
and he related everything that had hap
pened to him.
"Neighbor," said Peter, "you have
done a strange days work, you will be
badly received by your wife I would
not stand in your shoes for ten dollars. :"
"I may have been right or wrong"
said Gudbrand of the hill, "but my
wife is so good she won't say word to
me about what I have done"
81 have listened to you, neighbor,
and am surprised at you but with all
the respect which I have for you I do
not believe a word of what you have
told me-"
"Will you bet that am right |" said
Gudbrand of the hill !; 81 have hun
dred dollars in my chest, of which I will
bet you twenty. Will you do the same9"
Il" Yes" said Peter, "and that on the
spot"
When the wager was concluded, the
two friends went into Gudbrand's house;
Peter remained standing at the room
door in order to hear what passed be-
tween Gudbrand and his wife.
"Good evening"" said Gudbrand.
"Good evening"" replied his wife;
"is it you, my dear9 how has to-day
prospered with you2"
"Not very we'll, not very well," said
Gudbrand. "When I reached the
town, I found nobody who would buy
our COW, 30 I exchanged it for horse.
"For horse !" said his wife; " that
was good plan. I thank you with all
my heart; We can now drive to church
like so many people who look down
upon us, and are no better than We
are. If i. pleases us to keep horse
we have right to do so, think. Where
is the horse it must be taken to the
table,"
II have not brought it with me-"
said Gudbrand; "on the way I altered
my mind and exchanged the horse for a
pig"

COMMISSION OF ENQUIRY BILL

COMMISSIONS w 6NNO OAAA'
The United States Senate has
passed a bill providing for the APP
pointment of Commission of En-
garry into the liquor traffic. Sena
tors Gordon and Norwood of our
State, we sorry to see, voted against
the bin.
1t caused the most important tenn
perauce debate which ever transpir
ed ia the Senate of the United
States. We give an extract from
the speech of Senator Morrill,, of
Maine, and regret that limited space
prevents our giving it entire. Mr..
Morrill, said:
remember to have had occasion
to follow little further this question
OF license this question of the gov
eminent of the country undertaking
TO license, to interfere, to NEEDLE
with a thing of this sort, licensing it,
and SO giving it the moral power and
encouragement of its authority
Looking at England, you will find
precisely the same condition of
things to have existed. | took a
series of two decades following this
financial policy, because it was a
matter of financial policy in England
and in this country independent of
reckless of it's consequences on
the people, and / found this general
condition of things Wherever and
whenever the Government of Great
Britain encouraged the Importation
OF alcoholic drinks from other coun-
tries because it was taking very lit
tie or none Of its own, retail shops
were opened 4; and as the retail trade
was prospecting, so you found drunk
enuess rife, so you found pauperism
increasing, so you found the crimi~
nal courts and prisons filled. That
is the history of it, and it is all as
natural as it is for water to run down
hill. 1t must be so. Whenever the
Government lends its moral counter
snce to and encourages the importa-
ton and the production, Of course
you cannot, Senators will see that it
is impossible to, control the seIe. 1t
becomes popular, it is taken out
from under the ban at once, and it
increases everywhere. That, think
is the historical account in this coun>
try and elsewhere. 1t is the natural,
it is the irresistible effect.
do not know the amont of crook
ed hiskey, but | should suppose
the djstiIlation vas not less than
100 coo, 900 gal1ns at least. Now,
just think of 100000, 900 gallons of
distilled spirits for a people of 40, /
000. 600, in addition TO all that is
imported from abroad. What be-
comes of III 1t is doctored and
medicated, rectified and refined, in
to all The shapes that human inge-
nuity can conceive, and the people
are poisoned with 1t, the effect is
crime, destiiutiou, beg
,ary, want, death. !
