The old silver Dollar.

How dear to our hearts the coins we once lnlnted
When fond recollection recalls them to mind,
How sweetly they chinked and how brightly they
And toid rs of value and beauty combinedl
The eagle, the half, the hve-dollar, the quarter,
Poured forth from the mints and delighted the
We stuck to those coins, then, as bricks stick to
And cherished the dollar that ehinked in the
hand
The old silver dollar, the honest old dollar,
Our forefathers' dollar, that chinks in the hand.
But war, that played many curious caper,
Soon gave us a promise, in place of our chink;
Our coins few away on the wings Of the paper
And left us to worry with rags and with ink.
The presses worked hard, the paper they printed
And when the shinplasters spread over the land,
We said farewell to the coins we once minted,
Good-by to the dollar that chinked in the hand
The old silver dollar, the honest old dollar,
Our forefAthers' dollar, that chlnked IN the
hand.
Determined TO strengthen and tighten their hold;
A Congress, by bondholders hastily driven,
Declared that our coin should be nothing but
gold.
Obeying at once the bondholders' command,
And bhndly abandoned the old silver dollar,
The cherished old dollar that chinked in the hand
The old silver dollar the honest old dollar,
Our forefAthers' dollar, that chinked in the hand
So now we demand that they give US our money,
Our money Of silver, Is well as Of gold,
That clouds may pass over, and days may be sunny,
And plenty be with US again, as Of old.
Our paper shall yield to the weight Of our metal,
Our promise no longer be writ in the sand;
Our debts, as Of old, we Will honestly Settle A..
With the old-fAshioned dollar that clinks in the
The old silver dollar, the honest old dollar,
Our forefathers dollar. that ehinks in the hand.

ImmOdsst Fashions.

There are some features in the dress of
the present day which every modest wife
should shrink from showing upon her.
self, every careful mother should pre-
hibit in her daughters-things that in
stead of pleasing the pure sense are di-
rect or covert appeal to sensuality, and
can have no other purpose-ornaments
that are arranged so as to attract the eye
to portions of the person that should be
passed over by the modest gaze; a style
that gives a character to the walk like
that of the lascivious dances of the East:
distortions of the limbs and figure that
are injurious to health, and which can
have no other recommendation than that
they suggest certain ideas as to the fe-
male form that are agreeable to the ami
NAL called man, looking as an animal on
woman. The second French Empire,
appealing as it did systematically to ev-
erything that was impure and base in
man, has affected the fashion Of dress to
an unusual degree; and very many fol-
low the fashions without thinking any,
thing about them. But it should be
borne in mind that ornamental dress is
always designed to be effective in some
direction. 1t produces some effect on
the spectators, it has some appreciable
influence upon the wearers. Women
cannot wear an impure style of dress,
especially one that has in It an element
Of coarse sensuality, without an injury
TO their own perfect purity and refine
ment, which every mother must watch
over in her daughters, and every wife
guard religiously in herself.

surrounds the mighty steam gian, from

At first glance nothing could be dis.

A Hawkeyo View of EARLY Rising

The Burlington (Iowa) Ha1kevs
says; The attention Of medical men IN
this great republics called to the iniu-
dicious and absolutely hateful habit
much in vogue in the rural districts
and among early risers in the city, Of
getting up in the night to eat. This
nocturnal meal is family disguised un-
der the name of breakfast, and there is
no doubt that it has much to do with
creating, spreading and sustaining the
national disease, dyspepsia. The Gus
tom is sometimes visited by severe judg-
ments, but nothing seems able to deter
its votaries from continuing its practice.
We once took Summer boarding with q
man who used to eat in the night, and
reused up all his household to share
the unnatural meal. One night be
stirred us all up at 4:30 o'clock to eat
We rose and ate. That very day his
best COW inundated herself on wire
fence, one of his horses bit himself
with q rattlesnake, a reaping machine
ate up his best farm hand, distant rel
ative sent his youngest boy a drum, his
wife took to writing poetry, and one Of
his most popular, talented and hand
soonest boarders fitted, leaving an un-
paid Summers board bill to remember
him by. The latter circumstance is in
delibly impressed upon our memory,
and we often think of it in connection
with the somewhat striking coincidence
that we have never been in that coun-
try since.

SMALL standing collars are still used
for finishing the necks of dresses. For

is more becoming.
SHOES for country wear are made of
sail-cloth, and undyed leather. They
are laced instead of buttoned, and fur
nished with cork soles.
For trimming summer dresses where
two colors are combined, there are laces
made of the one color over-shot, or en-

TRAIN dresses are made very nearly as
short on the sides as in front-the slope
being very abrupt in the back, and all

PLAIN gold beads are very popular as
necklaces. Something new in shape is
the chain of square links joined by a

BLACK velvet jackets and sacques were

predicted they will give way entirely to
wraps of black Sicilienne cloth.
A DAsHY, Paris dress of navy blue, is
trimmed with scarlet fringe. The hat to
accompany the costume is ornamented
with scarlet poppies and dark blue corn

POCKETS on new wasn-dresses are made
by cutting slit across the side breadth
of the upper skirt or poEondtSs, and
placing the pocket on the under side, a
fancy covering being placed at the top.
PErTIcoArs are made with one straight
back breadth, two narrow side breadths,
and one gored front beneath. About half
yard below the belt in the back some
drawing strings are placed to bring all
the fullness to the back.
Much jewelry is not worn at the pres
ent time, excepting with full dress, and
even then it is displayed rather in quail
ity than quantity. A lady is not con-
sidered tastefully dressed for the morn
ing or afternoon with vast amount Of
gold and precious stones glittering on
her. She should not wear a watch and
chain with an elaborate necklace and
locket. Bracelets, provided they are not
too snowy, are admissible with any toll
cite, and so also are earrings.

THE STORY OF A BRAVE wOMANs TRIAL

THE STORY OF BRAVE wOMAN's TRIAL.
A bright, warm, Spring day; the sun
light streaming through the leatiess
branches Of the huge trees; the birds
taking advantage of the glorious weather
to sing their loudest, sweetest songs,
and all nature rejoicing in tho breaking
up of the long Winters sleep and tie
advent of Spring.
In the foreground Of the scene stands
the humble house of frontiersman, a
rough structure of logs and bark; in
front Of the door the grindstone on
which the sturdy settler whets the axe
that has already laid low SO many mon
archs Of the forest; against the rough,
unboarded walls hang the skins of
animals that the skill of the hunter
has captured.
At the foot of tree Immediately in
front Of the door two children are at
play-httle tots, the pride of the set
tiers heart-a boy of six years, and a
girl year or two younger.
Such was the scene presented at the
home Of Gabriel Latour, on the Pawnee
river, in Western Kansas. in the Spring
Of 1860.
Latour had followed the adventurous
life of trapper and hunter for many
years, until finally, tired of roaming
without any settled home, he married.
the daughter of Missourian settler,
''took up" quarter section of land, and
went to farming.
His wife, born and raised on the from
tier, was fit helpmeet for a man whose
life must necessarily be one Of hardship
and privation. Marian Latour was one
who could handle rife or pistol as well
as the implements of her household in
dustry, and to her skill in the use of
those weapons, and her own indomita-
BILE bravery, must be attributed the sue
cessful issue of the siege which we are
about to relate.
As the sun began to creep slowly
down the West and the shadows were
lengthening, Mrs. Latour came to the
door to call the children to their even
ing meal. .sr s
Her husband had started that morn
ing for the settlements on the Saline
river and be was not expected back till
the next day.
"Come children" she called, sits
time you were both inside. Come
Emma" and then the words died on
her lips and the blood ran cold to her
heart As her eyes fell on little clump
of bushes about dozen yards to the
rear Of the tree where the children were
sitting.
Did her eyes deceive her? Was that
brownish-red thing she saw but heap
OF the last autumn's leaves? No. Too
well she knew what it was-the hide
ously-painted face of an Indian.
Then the natural cool courage of the
woman showed itself. II she betrayed
her knowledge Of the presence Of her
savage foe, it would but precipitate the
attack. which was now imminent.
Like q lightning fash she formed her
plan Of action, and then stepping out
from the door she went around doing
some work outside, Just as eoolly as Il
there wasn't an Indian within thou
sand miles, but with every nerve
strained 10 its utmost tension, and every
sense on the alert for the least sign Of
attack. .s..
"Come, come. children" she called,

How MANY INDIANS ARE IN THIS
WAR?-Father Mesplie, who is vel
posted on the Indian tribes, gives the
following estimate of their numbers
He puts the Sioux down at 60, 900; the
Crows at 1900; Blackfeet, 10000 !;
Utes or Utahs, 35, 900; and in addition
there are the Brule, Ogalalla, Mime
coniu, Yanctonnais, Uncpapa, Two ket-
ties, San Acres, and Sontoo bands
Some of the Crows, and some Others
who live around the reservations are
friendly, but many who pretend friend
ship will gather arms and ammunition
for their tribes. He says they are in
strong alliance with each other to carry
on this war, although when they have
no common enemy to fight they fight
against each other; but now they are
united against what they call a common
enemy, and will turn out all their war
riors, and will number at least 30, O0O,
and the Father says it is likely to be the
most formidable and bloody war in the
history Of our Government. They are
we'll armed, and will fight to the death
whenever they are cornered. = Idaho
