Awards to the Wards.

The Indians are capable of rapid civ
ilization. Said old What You-Call-Him
to the Great Father: "We want boxes
of money and cattle with short horns,
and moving machines, plows, saw-mills
and wagons. want the Indians here
to have $40 apiece, and trunks and over
coats" A year or two hence, when
Cardinal Nebule and his friends visit
their Great Father, their improved civ
ilization will impel their demands to run
after this fashion: "We do not ask
wigwams. We have plenty of them.
We want five-story brown stone fronts
with mansard roofs and bay windows /;
we want diamond pins ard pigeon-tail
coats; we ask for billiard halls and bowl
ing-saloons; we want no more horses
that can't trot mile inside of ten min
utes. We have plenty of such. We
want trotters that make mile in 2:15
we want to be made Presidents of saw
ings banks and passenger railway COM
panies; my people are poor, and want
ice-cream saloons and opera houses. We
want free passes on all the railroads, land
oysters that are not in delicate health.
Ugh! sick oyster dunn bad. My people
want base ball clubs to scalp and big
meeting-houses to sleep in. My Great
Father has heard me. "-NorrtstOsC1s Her

How a Driller Struck Oil.

Yesterday afternoon an old man with
crude petroleum dripping from his
clothes, and pant-legs enclosed in his
boots, entered the Derrick Office and
said:
"Want an item?"
give got the durndest item you ever
heard tell on. I struck an lie well on
my lease Monday, an she flowed a
stream of lie 100 feet high straight up
for half an hour Then she kinder died
down-one of my drillers was standing
over the hole, when she suddenly squirt
ed up again, and, blast my eyes, if it
didn't take that driller right up with it.
The stream was a powerful one, you
see, an he went up 100 feet. You've
seen these little balls as dance about on
top of those little squirting fountains
such as they have in the citiesP Yes,
wall that's the way this ere thing acted,
an there's that air driller right up on
top of that hundred fut column of crude
lie, an he's dancin' about like chaf' in
a flaming mill. What do you think of
that un?''
SHOW long has he been up there?"
"About four days and four nights.
"He must be very hungry by this
time. Doesn't he come down to get
something to eat?''
"Why, we 'uns just put plate of
hash in this stream of lie, and it takes it
up to him, you see. An it's mighty
handy, as he finds his victuls ready
CREASED, an he doesn't need any but
teri
"But he must have frozen do death
before this time.'
"Why, man, we've sent him up on
the same stream bed and bedding,
small stove and wood, and we're going
to build him small house, an then he
can live there as comfortable as
prince"
His face was as innocent of deceit as
piece of tanned leather, and when he
asked to have his name put down as
deadhead subscriber for information he
had given, we didn't have the heart to
hurt his feelings by refusing City

Heating a City by Steam.

We some time ago referred to the fact
that efforts were making to furnish
steam to the people of a whole village
or section of city, as gas has for some
time been done; also that it was pro-
posed to transmit power by steam, COM
pressed air or hydraulic pressure. We
now have statement of the initial at
tempt at warming village by steam
at Lockport, New York. The cost is
thought to be but little more than half
the cost of stoves, although the great
heat for kitchen apparatus may be less
easy to furnish. From the steam boil
ers the supply of heat is forced through
pipes laid underground to the buildings
which are to be warmed. The main
pipe, constructed of iron, is in size about
five inches in diameter. Around the
pipe is wound hair cloth one-half to
three-quarters of an inch thick, and
over this is wrapped heavy Manila pa
per. Thus prepared, the pipes are laid
in logs which are covered with zinc

stopped at small station on the out.
skirts of Philadelphia they boarded il
and arrested the culprit. His young
wife was sent to hotel and her father
telegraphed for. Cooper was taken to
the Navy-yard in irons, from whence,
after trial and conviction, he was sent
for term of five years mot Sky to the
Eastern Penitentisry. | have never
heard of him since until read of his
doings here. He served his full term in
the Penitentfary. His young wife,
when she recovered from the shock, had
her marriage promptly annulled, on the
score of fraud and non-consummation
The papers are therefore wrong in say
ing that his present wife is a daughter
of Defrees. / have heard that she is a
lady from Louisiana, and was, doubtless,
as badly duped as Miss Defrees.
Mrs. Cooper is a sister of d. o. Nc
Carthy, of The american Flag newspa-
per, now resident of San Diego. She
was then a widow of Green T. Hill.
The marriage took place in Mississippi.
Mrs. Cooper has sister living in this
city-a Mrs. Moore-and another broth
er, besides the one mentioned above, in
Mobile, Ala. L.,l
When the Coopers left this city they
represented that they were going to
Lake Tahoe. They went, however, to
San Jose, as will be seen by the follow
ing extract from the San Jose Argus:
"It is understood that these forgeries
were committed by Cooper, who, in
company with his wife, left San Fran
cisco, stating that he was going to Lake
Tahoe. If that was ever his intention
he changed his mind, for about that
time he made his appearance in San
Jose, accompanied by his wife, four fine
horses, coupe, carriage, hostler,
several dogs, numerous cases
of champagne, and a lady
who was registered at the hotel
as Mrs. Messer. The party put up at
the hotel, and in day or two Mr.. Mes
ser, the husband of the lady last referred
to, put in an appearance, and they
started on a season of extravaganza that
made our staid people open their eyes.
Champagne was their ordinary drink,
and money was scattered with a pro-
fuseness that would soon have exhausted
the purse of Fortunatus. 1t was harvest
time for the hotel walters and stable
boys Nearly every evening they might
have been seen on the road behind a
four-in-hand of blood horses, exhibiting
themselves to the community in all their
brhliancy. Cooper was tolerably
handsome man, of about s. years of
age; his wife apparently somewhere in
the neighborhood of As, and, as we I'M
derstand, held considerable real estate
located in Kentucky. Messer was still |
older than Cooper, and was presented
as the latter's private secretary. After
a brilliant season of about two weeks
the party disappeared"

THE Baltimore american, speaking
of the criminal hanged at Harrisonburg,
Va, the other day, says: "One singu-
lar thing connected with this murder is
worthy of mention. At the funeral of
Lawson the officiating minister prayed
that God would blight the trees from
the spot where Lawson was assassinated
to the murderer's home,' and it may
sound strange, yet it is true, the trees
from where his body was found in the
direction of Shifflett's house are all
blighted and dying, while all the other
trees around are perfectly healthy.
This story has been in circulation here
for some time, believed by few, but
doubted and made fun of by many.
Last Sunday several gentlemen repre-
senting city dailies, who had arrived to
do the execution, visited the spot and
found it an actual fact.''

The Smile and the Sigh.

q lonely Smile, which smiled in sadness,
Once hailed upon the passing breeze
A new born Sigh, which sighed in gladness
To give a restless mortal rest.
The Smile and Sigh soon formed union
union everlasting, bleSt--
Whereby, in brOtherly communion,
Each worked to give the other rest.
Thus, mutually their tolls relieving.
They lived I'm peaceful light and shade:
No petty jeal0usies conceiving,
OF naught, not even Death, afraid.
And when, with friendship still unbroken,
Fate caused them for a time to part,
Each of the other kept a token,
To prove the two were one &C heart
For, smiling, the Sigh 20 heaven was carried
On angels golden wings one day,
While, signing, the Smile on earth stfll tarried
And lent its charm to lifeless clay.
Till then this world was often dreary.
But since then $50 the legend sayeth)
Deaths sigh gives Life unto the weary.
Lies smile itself inumines Death.

A vegetable Tea-Party."

Last Thursday evening the people of
St. Paul's Episcopal Church had what
they called vegetable tea-party" in
the lecture-roOm of the church, on
Washington Street, near Ann. A couple
of pumpkin JACKIE lanterns at the front
door gave the passers-by an idea of what
was going on inside. Over the door of
the lecture-room were the words, " He
crowneth the year with goodness" in
letters of kernels of corn, the legend
being trimmed with red peppers. The
gas-fxtures were festooned with strings
of cranberries. Vegetables of divers
kinds were placed around the walls
Around the platforms were piled pump
kins, squashes and other garden " sass. 3"
At 9 O'Clock the King and Queen of the
vegetable kingdom, arrayed in samples
of all known plants, entered the room,
preceded by a herald, who carried a
corn-stalk larger than a fish-pole. After
their Majesties, who were during the
evening uniformly addressed as their
"Royal Highnesses," in spite of the
crowns of golden pumpkin on their
heads, had taken their seats on their
thrones, a procession of fruits and veg
etabies entered. These were ladies and
gentlemen decked out in strings of pop
corn, cabbage-leaves, parsley, cross
sections of carrots, ETC., etc. Nearly
all of these decorations were as tasteful
as they were inexpensive. The hand
soonest "get-up was that of lady
who wore hat and elaborate dress
trimmings of red and white cabbage
leaves. One sordid spectator remarked
that the procession looked like South
Water Street; but this wasn't so, for
there were many pretty women in the
procession and there are not on South
Water Street. After these loyal and
highly educated subjects had been in
troduced to their sovereigns the whole
company adjourned to the supper room,
where the ladies had prepared elegant
tables-vegetables, that is. The whole
affair was gotten up by the ladies of the
society during the day, and reflected
much credit on their taste and enter
prise. Admission was by ticket, and
the size of the gathering indicated that
the proceeds must have amounted to a
pretty little sum.-Chicdgo Times.

MOund-Builders' Relics.

One of the most important discoveries
of mound builders relics that has ever
been made in this State was made yes
terday morning by some workmen who
were digging a cellar on South Hill,
near Boundary Street. After the work
men were confident they had unearthed
some Indian antiquities, several mem
bers of the Burlington Archaeological
Society were notified, and the search
was continued under scientific auspices.
They first unearthed a stone AK, rudely
fashioned, but Enthusiastically stone AK,
which was greeted with cheers and ex-
element. Then they turned up a fiat
stone and found in little recess q cop
per knife, broken jar, and stone
mortar, which were brought out into the
light of day from the solemn mystery
and darkness where they had lain for
ages, and the Secretary of the Club i'm
mediately sent off dispatch to the Pres
ident and to the Smithsonian Institu-
ton. Then they found stone pipe, and
the Archaeological Society sang hymn
and fell on ench others necks and wept,
and dispatches were sent to Dubuque
and Davenport. Then they rolled away
a great bowlder that appeared to cover
the entrance to kind of crypt, and
they found nickel, street-car check,
and copy of the Hawkeye of day be-
fore yesterday. And then, somehow,
the interest in the explorations kind of
died out like, no more dispatches were
sent, and the Society adjourned without
benediction.-Bs Burlington Haaokeye.

In an address before the Social Sci
ence Association at Aberdeen, recently,
the Lord Advocate said: 81 do not
venture to assert that excessive indul-
gence in strong drinks will in every
case and certainly lead to other immo-
rallies, or to crime. But one who has
had experience in dealing with the
criminal classes of the population can
entertain the least doubt that intemper-
ance is the lightweight which keeps
those classes sunk in poverty and vice
that it is the very atmosphere in which
crime thrives and spreads; and that,
while itfosters guilt of every description,
large proportion of the most serious
crimes-sayage assaults, and even
murder-are directly traeeable TO its
influence.
