POyerty,s Offering.

To be poor in a great city is to have nothing, to be nobody, to be ever strug- gling aud planning for bread alone. This fact might have entered the mind of lad who one day, walking by cottage tenanted by poverty and despair, tossed his painted rubber ball to little ragged girl sitting on the doorstep. It was a prize more valuable !, than the child and as she played with it there was more Wealth and poverty may be found with only fence between. The next house to the cottage is almost palace, and one day curly-haired boy climbed upon the fence, saw the ball in the hands of the ragged girl, and wept because he had none, though he might have had 8 hundred for the asking. He did not climb up again, but 8 week later the knot of white and black on the door told that he was dead. The ragged girl heard his name spoken, and, while weeping relatives and grieving friends were nov ing softly about, she ascended the steps, stood in the open door and hand ing out the ball, softly whispered: T..
 "Please, ma'am, but your little boy cried for my ball, and I didn't give it up, and now he's dead, and if you'll put it into his cofin I'll play with ball of mud and never be so stingy again !>'
 Poverty is sometimes wickedness and degradation, but nobler action or a greater offering could not be made. The millionaire who had offered half his wealth would not have offered what daughter did.

What it Costs.

It is said the cost of management of the Centennial Exhibition is $5,OOO Q day, which for 159 working days, from May 10 to November 10, amounts to $795, 600. The cost of erecting, build ing and preparing the grounds was about $7, 800, ,O00, from which million and half must be deducted for the art gallery, which is a permanent invest ment of the city of Philadelphia. This leaves total oUtgo of about $6, 500, 900, which must be met by the sale of privi- leges and admissions. What the former will bring has not been definitely an- nounceG, if it is known, but probably be required to make good the expenses. This is an average of about 81, GOO daily, and more than 100000 daily for the time after June 25, when the first million visitors was reached on the forty first day of the Exhibition. Anaverage of this magnitude is not to be expected in America, though it is probable the en- frances for some days toward the close will exceed this number. The horse railroads are said to be capable of de- hvering 12,000 persons an hour, or for six hours 72, 900 persons. The four steam roads can easily carry g, GOO all hour, and in addition to these sources must be add ed the large number who walk from the hotels immediately adjoining the grounds. With all these modes of con- veyance 1t is perfectly evident that 8 current of 150,O0 persons in one day would tax every resource of these pro- visions, and with 100, 900 day the most used lines would be crowded to rople- ton.

The Coal Fields.

Coal, owing to it's great value, is sometimes called the black diamond. It keeps us warm in winter and cooks our meals all the year around. It enters into the manufacture of iron, and cre- ates the steam which drives the spindles of our factories, and there is to-day scarcely any industry that does not re- qnIre 1t more or less directly us 8 very useful adjunct. It has given a wonder tcl impulse to commerce and navigation, and has made passable the great iron highways that now gird our continent, and permeate every section of the world.
 That in this, as we'll as the many other sources of wealth, the Creator of the universe has been lavish to us, is evi- denced by comparison of the coal areas ot the various countries, at least so far as they are known now. The coal fields of the United States comprise 192, ,OOO square miles, those of Nova Scotia 18,- 900 square miles, while the coal area of Great Britain is but II, 300 square miles. The other countries having coal de- posits are: France, 1,800 square miles; Belgium, nine hundred square miles; Prussia, 1,800 square miles; Austria, l,8OO square miles; Spain, 5000 square miles; Chili, Australia, India, China, etc, 28, 900 square miles.
 It will here be seen that the United States possess nearly three fourthso of the entire coal fields of the world, from which are furnished only twenty per cent. of the total product, while Eng land, with it's II 300 square miles, fur nishes 53. Al per cent. of the worlds production. The annual production of Great Britain is about 120, ,OOO, 900 tons, while that of the United States was 20, 5O7, ,175 tons last year. Of this quan- tity Pennsylvania alone produced 36,- 347, ,615 tons from coal fields comprising 12,774 square miles, and of this amount P, 900, GOO tons were from the anthracite regions, which have coal area of but 472 square miles. Now, it seems incredi- ble that so large quantity, forming, as it does, nearly one-half of the product of the country, should come from this small patch of only 472 square miles, or about the 407th part of the coal fields of the country.

A Savage Spectacle.

On the morning following the fight which Gen. Crook had with the Indians, a correspondent says, as the column was moving from the place of bivouac, there suddenly arose among the red allies with the troops a singular excitement. One of them had ridden up to dark object lying beside the stream, and sat and gazed at it, and after others had Joined him, they sat and chattered as wildly together ss the South American monkeys when they discover the pro- pinquity of snake. After gestures and yells they dismounted and brandished knives. Approaching them, I beheld lying on the fresh, deWy grass, under the gentle shadow of a stepping willow, the most horrible object that could meet the eye. A dusky human form, nude and blood-besmeared, was writhing under the knives of the merciless vic tors. This object was Sioux who, in the latter part of the fight, had been wounded by 8 Snake, scalped and left for dead. In tearing the tuft of raven hair from his head portion of the bone, fractured with stroke of the tomahawk, had chung to the flesh, and the brain was laid bare. And yet, in the morning, the savage was still alive, and hearing the tramp of horses and be- lieving his tribe had beaten the whites, he had crawled out of the gully in which he lay and called, s'Minne " (water) to a Crow who had passed and who he un- doubtedly thought was Sioux. The Crow turned, and his face kndIed with fearful joy. Six shots were fired into the prostrate figure. The head and limbs were severed from the body and the flesh hacked and the bones hewn until there was nothing about it recog- nizable as human. ,Infamies too shame ful and disgusting for record completed the ghastly climax of horror. It was an illustration of the fendish ferocity of all the Plains Indians towards their foes. The Sioux practice even more refined b,arbarities, tortnring their victims. in the most exquisite manner and making them more dreadful by deferring, by every art in their power, the welcome relief of death.

upon digging away the lime he discov- cred they had begun operations.
 However, on further examination, it appeared that they had not even pene-. trated through the bark, but were dead and dying. The borings were nearly dry and some were quite dry. If this is remedy, as MT. Chesley believes it to be, it is very valuable one, as we'll as very simple one~ At all events, it answered his purpose; for there were the borers, of browinsh color, as if burnt by the lime, and quite small. Since that time he has seen no signs of borers, but the trees are in thrifty condition and now in full bloom. The trees that he writes of are from one to four inches through, of different varie- ties of apples. He put the lime four or five inches deep all around the tree and drew the soil around it to keep it in place. His trees are all young, but if he had old trees he would treat them in the same way, first scraping off the old bark and covering it thoroughly with good air-slaked lime, ana then bring ing the soil up around it to keep it there.

The Sioux as a Man.

A man can study, in the adaptation of the Sioux to his destiny, an exchange says, something recently Darwinian. He used to eat fish, corn, beans and meal when he lived eastward. He padded a canoe, shot only bows and arrows and went afoot. Driven to the plains within the past century, he now eats game, reptiles, elk meat, wolf and bear and no vegetables at all; he rides pony, handles rifle or revol- yer, adopts tactics, fights infantry, and has become worse, demon than ever. In reality, the Sioux is the only great Indian since the decay of the Iroquois. He has more natural intelligence than anySwld nation we know of, but it is branded. with wickedness. If he ever had any moral nature it is extinct. He is humorist and trifer, yet fend. He combines the natures of the ape, the wolf and the hyena, and laughs and assassinates, prowls and is good na- tured, eats carrion and braves soldiery.
 His life is 0 monstrous foxiness. A ball player and licentious, he loves mur- der as an enjoyment, When Goethe drew the merry demon in Mephis topheles he drew the Sioux raised in development, the scholastic Dakota. No worse creation roams tho earth, in jungle or desert. He has no affection for his wife, and whips and tortures her with an amiable and sweet ferocity. Hardly ever in earnest, he will fight and kill. Though treacherous as a snake, he does not lose his audacity and cool bravery, With every noble motive de- stroyedss his whole animality is heroic, and he teaches bis son to scalp and be. cruel with 8 kindling raillery that is scarcely affection. He does not respect authority and has no institu- tions, not even chiefs. Perpetual revo- lution goes on in the Dakota confeder- acy against the head men, but the Da- kotas are always banded together; their nationality is like Mexican's, para mount, yet it's domestic operation is treachery and revolt. Their property Is something to move with, entirely ponies, of which each man has a half dozen or more. Their ponies are trans portation, currency, capital, indepen- dence, the price of matrimony, the gift of chivalry, their cradle and their grave.
 When great Sioux dies, he kills his horses. He buys wives with horses. He-and the wild horse, under the won derful prescienee of God, meet in equal rugged depravity, the one originating in the tropics, the other in the boreal zone, and their union is the Centaur, the winged murderer, the mounted Noin

What an Indian Chief Says.

Appended to the report made by the United States Indian inspector to the Indian office, is the following statement of "Bear Stand Up," an Indian of Spotted Tail agency, who arrived from Sitting Bull camp, June 25:
 went north to the hostile camp for the purpose of bringing home some re- lations and children belonging to my wife. There are a few northern San tees, Yanktonois, Assinaboines, Aricka- rees, and Gros Ventres. The chiefs of the above are Santee, Red End, Tank tonia, White Face, and the other is not known. Of the above there are very few people. Of the Northern Cheyen- nes Black Moccasin is chief with about TO lodges; Blackfeet, Chief Scabby- head 1; Uncpapas, Chief Sitting Bull i; Sans Arcs, Chief Spotted Eagle; Minne- conjous, Chief Black Shield Ogallalas, Chief Crazy Horse. In all these there are little over 2,0O0 lodges. After the troops got into the country I could not get away. Indians were made soldiers to watch the camp and keep the people together. I talked with Sitting Bull before leaving, and then moved my lodge out in the night, coming very far around to keep out of the way of both Indians and troops, and came home by the road known as the Old Fort Pierre road on the east side of the Black Hills, striking the road about half way between the Missouri and the Black Hills, and then came straight to this agency.
 Sitting Bull sends word to my agent, to Bisonette, and to Bouchet that he does not intend to molest any one south of the Black Hills, but will fight the whites in that country as long as the question is unsettled, and if not settled as long as he lives. As soon as the Black Hills question is settled he wants my agent to send him word, and tell him what to do. He says he finds a great many guns and other things about the Hills, where the white men have killed each other and left on the prairies.
 Sitting Bull asked how the Brules were treated at their agency. told him well, but he does not believe it. He says he does not want to fight the whites, only steal from them as they have done. White men steal, and Indians won't come to settlement. Whites kill themselves, and make Black Hills stink, so many dead men. He says he heard that h. dians coming from theagency would not be allowed to return. He has made law that no visitors shall pass between the agency and his camp, either Indians or whites. When the rascality about the Black Hills is settled, then he will stop his rascality. The government has promised much to agency Indians that it has never fulfilled, and 1t wants to move the apanciaS aoain Tf noovn1 who will occupy. them9 It belongs to you. If you remain where you are, I want you to send me word. If good white people won't listen to the Great Father, no more your young men would listen to their chief. Sitting Bull says that if the troops come out to him he must fight, but if they do not come out, he intends to visit this agency and will counsel his people for peace. gaa ..-s
 Bear Stand Up, who makes this state ment, is reliable. He was in Sitting Bulls camp nineteen days, from about May 25 to June 15. ." ,-

A Story of Custer.

When men have pounded the saddle for days at 9 time without any 'let up, !" when horses are worn down, riders clear Jagged out and no prospect of rest, then good man may do desperate thing in his despair. Such 8 thing came under the writer's observation one day in the Shenandoah valley. The late Gen. Custer was killing men and horses in his desire to locate each and every one of Early's outposts, when, as we rode along g turnpike, hungry trooper suddenly spurred his horse to the front, rode up beside Custer, and drawing slice of pork from his haver- sack, thrust it out and fercely asked {:
 "General Custer, where in thunder is your commissarys" -l- -, .s,. :. D ai , l "Here she is l'' shouted the general in reply, fishing up a rusty "hard tack" from his pocket" Here she is, and I'll trade you some of my hard tack for some of your porkTl .a4ssarsg.ts

Starving on a Fathers Grave.

That was sad story of destitution and misery which was told in Greenwood cemetery, Brooklyn. A poor mother, Mary Beuhl, and her four little children were found resting by grave, nearly dead of starvation. When the poor mother was asked what she and her children were doing there, she replied that they had no home, had no food, had no friends, and knew not where to look for assistance. So she brought her children to their father's grave, there to wait until death gave them all relief from hunger and homelessness and misery. For two days they had waited by that lowly grave. 54s
