utter helplessoess they showed was
enough to melt heart of stone. And
this was only one of numerous Incl
dents of similar character which came
to light.
Most of those who were seen at the
bank were poor working people, young
and old, who have the winter before
them and no work in prospect to keep
the fire burning. A considerable num-
Der of colored folks were among the
groups, and they Appeared to accept the
situation with more cheerfulness than
any of the others. They were anxious
to find cut just what kind of dividend
was to be doled out to them, and, when
quietly assured by some gloomy brother
that they need hope for nothing, they
would walk off with the remark that
they would take care and not get bitten
again.
These are only few instances out of
many which could be furnished to show
that the failure fell heaviest on the poor
est and least-suspecting class.

Gen. Lew Wallace and Indian Warfare.

Gen. Lew Wallace, the Indiana sol
der and novelist, has made PROPOSE
ton to the War Department to allow him
to enlist regiment or battalion of front
iersmen for permanent service in the
United States army. He contends that
the regular army is q failure as far as
Indian fighting is concerned that the
Custer massacre was but repetition of
Braddock's defeat at Pittsburgh 100
years before, and worse as far as the
loss of life was concerned. He accounts
for the ineficiency of the army in Indian
warfare by pointing out the necessity of
loading men down with supplies, while
the Indians g travel so light" He wants
to raise regiment of men to be mount
ed on Indian ponies, who can ride, and
shoot, and subsist as the Indians do.
He wants every man in the regiment to
be familiar with the Indian mode of war
fare, so they can cope with them on even
terms. The Secretary of War thinks,
and so replied to Gen. Wallace, that
such regiment as he describes would
be very serviceable, but he does not con-
slider himself possessed Of the authority
to order its enlistment. Moreover, he
thinks that the regular army, as far as
it's numbers go, is as efficient as any
force can be. tits true they could travel
faster if they went each on his own &C
count, without regard to discipline, as
the Indians do, and supply trains are
always drawback. Gen. Crooks cam
paign in 1876 and 1876 with pack mules
was as successful as any could have been,
because he was numerically strong
enough to follow up his advantages as
fast as he gained them, while Gen. How
ard has only handful of men, mostly
infantry, and has had to stop several
times for reinfOrcements and supplies.

Artificial Ewes.

+ Between eight and ten thousand eyes
are sold annually in the United States.
An eye-maker gives one in 1875 as the
proportion of one-eyed people. Com
putting the population of the country at
AZ, 600, 900, this rate gives 1876, 900 as the
number Of persons with only one eye in
the republic. Consequently, while
10000 people supply their optical de-
ficiency with an artificial eye, 226, 900 go
without In proportion to the popula-
ton, the eye-maker said, there are more
one-eyed people in Paterson, N. J. than
in any other town in this or any other
country. All towns that have MANY
foundries or factories, and whose air is
impregnated with SCOT and smoke, count
their one-eyed inhabitants by the score,
but Paterson is ahead Of the rest The
eye-maker knew of the three proprietors
Of single foundry there each losing an
eye. Pittsburgh comes next. In this
city one-eyed folks abound in the neigh
borhood of manufacturing establish
ments. Once he had four patients from
near a foundry in West Eleventh street
alone. Not only the foul atmosphere
destroys the sight, but flying pieces of
metal burn out the eyes of the workmen
An importer, who sells 1900 eyes an
nually, sends one third to Canada; Chi
cago takes 800, and Cincinnati more
than st. Louis. New Orleans, Nash
vile and other towns West and South
buy the remainder. The color for eyes
most in demand is what is known as
Irish blue "a peculiar light azure
that predominates in Ireland. The av-
erage cost of an eye is $40. He sells
comparatively few eyes in this city, as
New Workers prefer to have their own
eyes made to order. -NeaU York Sam.

ley. The answer was rush at the open
window by the master, who began climb
ing in. Brave little Jack seized him by
the legs, and before he could kick him
off dozen stout lads were clinging to
them, while as many more held him on
the inside. Bill seized the rope and at
tempted to pass the moose over his arms.
In the hurry and confusion of the fight
he succeeded only in getting it over his
head. Pulling it as the boys did, there
was fair prospect of ending the useful
labors of this teacher by strangulation.
That he deserved it no one of us doubt
ed but Bob, having climbed over the
master in the window, and with all the
school pulling at the ends of old Bangs,
was soon master of the situation; getting
hold of the rope, and assisted by Bill,
he succeeded in tying the arms Of the
almost exhausted man to his sides. He
was then tumbled from the window as
unceremoniously as pig.
"WilI you give up?" demanded our
leader.
"No," gasped the master.
"Then we'll put you down the well,
hanged if we don't!'
The brave old pedagogue still refus-
ing, he was dragged, rolled and tumbled
to the well-curb.
"Will you give up, dern you?" de-
manded Bob.
"No, / won't"
He was showed inside Of the bucket,
and orders given to lower. R71t the
weight proved too much for the lads,
and, the crank Of the windlass slipping
from their grasp, the learning Of our
district went whirling to the bottom with
a laundering noise BETTING such an
exit. This was more than we bargained
for. Had we really murdered the mas
ter? Bob and Bill, assisted by the
stoutest, began pulling up the I'M
fortunate old fellow. It was hard work,
and, Juggling at the windlass, they just
caught q glimpse of his blonde head
when wild cry of :" fire p caused them
to let go, and again the venerable Bangs
ratified down with splash in the water.
The school-house was on fire the
chunks pulled out by the boys had com
municated to the floor, and the dry,
old concern was in blaze. A few
neighbors, who just then arrived, gave
the alarm, and attempted to extinguish
the flames. To do this they called for
water, and the first bucket brought up
contained the vanquished teacher Of
reading, writing, and arithmetic. He
came up with his teeth chattering, and
when lifted out and united was too weak
to stand or sit.
The school-house burned down. The
master was carried to neighbor's
house, and for weeks hung between life
snd death. We were regarded as heroes
by the country side, and in the burning
of our place of torture and the sickness
of the master we were the happiest set
OF little animals in the world.
1t is long time, I am sorry to say,
since then, end most of the actors in the
drama have passed away. Bob, one of
our gallant leaders, is now well-to-do
farmer in Illinois while Bill fell in
the bloody fight at Stone river.-Don
Piatt.

Fighting ON Tea.

The Russian soldiers are said to live
and fight almost wholly upon tea. The
Cossacks often carry it about in the
shape of bricks, or rather tiles, which,
before hardening, are soaked in sleeps
blood and boiled in milk with the addi-
ton OF -four, butter and salt, so as to
constitute kind Of soup. The passion
of the Russian for this beverage is sim
ply astonishing. In the depth of winter
he will empty twenty cups in succession,
at nearly boiling point, until he per-
spires at every pore, and then, in state
Of intense excitement, rush out, roll in
the snow, get up, and go on to the next
similar place of entertainment. So with
the army. With every group or circle
of tents travels the invariab1e tea caul-
dron, suspended from a tripod and it
would be vain to think of computing how
many times each soldiers pannikin is
filled upon halt. 1t is his first idea.
Frequently he carries it cold in copper
case, as solace upon the march. {

THE MYSTERY OFF PAIN.

By PROF. GRANT ALLEN.
On the crimson cloth

A Iustrous moth
Poised, statuesque
OF a waXen mold h
We're its light limbs shaped,
81 ~ And in scales of gold
Its body was draped;
While its delicate wings
E&F Were netted and veined
fHEE With silvery strings
Or golden-grained,
Through whose flmy maze
In tremuous fight
Danced Quivering rays
Of the gladstone light.
On the desk close by1
taper burned,
Toward which the eye
Of the insect turned.
In it's vague little mind
faint desire
Rose underlined
For the beautiful fire.
Lightly it spread
Each silken van,
Then away it sped
For moments span;
And strange delight
Lured on its course,
With resistless might,
Toward the central source,
A. And it followed the spell
Through an eddying maze,
Till it staggered and fell
In the deadly blaze "
Dazzed an stunned
By the scalding pain,~
One moment it swooneds
Then rose again
And again the fire
Drew it on with it's charms
To a5liying pyre
In its awful arms;
Aid now it lies
On the table here
Before my eyes,
All shriveled and sere
AS sit and muses
On its fiery fate,
What themes abstruse
sH. Might mediate gan -.t'
For the pangs that thrilled
Through its delicate frame.
AS it's senses were filed
With the sCOrching fame,
riddle inClose
That, living or dead,
In rhyme or in prose-
No seer has read.
But MOTH" you cry,
g Is thing so small n
All, yes but why
Should it suffer at ALI
Why should sob
For the vaguest smart ~
One moment throb
Through the tiniest heart?
Why, in the whole
Wide universe,
Should single soul
Feel that primal cllrse?
Not all the throes

Nor the heaviest woes

Are of deeper weight FY0
In the riddle of things
Than this insects fate q &. d..
With the mangled wings. <'
But if only I, ss fVt

For never as yet #L.4

At the import of life:
And Theology's saws
