Lucretia flushed SO thai her pretty

clear, truth-compelling eyes, the knowl-
edge dawned upon her that she had no
need to wait until the morrow-that she

Chief JOseph's Family.

A correspondent of the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, who has recently Wis
tied the Mes Perces, says Joseph's
squaw and papoose have a buffalo skin
lodge, plentifully furnished with robes,
blankets and the paraphernalia of camp
and war. Mrs. Joseph, sole squaw of
the hero, is pretty, little black-eyed
beauty, with flashing teeth, fine arms
and dainty feet. A smile and hand-shake
was her greeting, and with native grace
pointed to seats ON the great robes. A
cunning little brown papoose, strapped
to board, was brought forward for our
admiration, and it was funny to see how
calmly it continued its nap while strange
tongues were chattering around it, 1t
woke without clamor, and placidly
yawned and blinked its black eyes at us,
its arms pinioned to its sides, and its
whole body bound tightly in its buckskin
vest. Around the hood of it's board
cradle was hung a bead chain, hung
with ten cent silver pieces and little
beaded bundles that we guessed to con.
tain the medicines to avert evil spirits.
Our conversation with Mrs. Joseph was
confined to dumb show, but we learned
that the papoose was nearly year old,
had gone through the summers cam
paign without once crying at inopportune
moments, and that it was its fathers
idol, his only consolation since the mis-
fortunes of his people and the loss of
his daughter, a young girl, who disap-
peared the morning of their last fight.
She went out with the other children to
gather in the herd when the first attack
was made ON their camp, and it is not
known whether she was shot, strayed off
into the strange country, lost, or joined
the renegades who made of in the night
with Sitting Bull,

Jenkins Island.

The Louisville Comier-J0ulndEs cor
respondent at the Samoan Islands, says
There is q small island to the east
ward of Samoa about 200 miles. 1t be-
longs to the group called Solworoif, and
was uninhabited until few years ago,
when an American named Jenkins took
up his abode there with his family. He
claimed the island as his property, and
corresponded with Secretary Seward
about his claim, requesting permission
to hoist the American flag over the
group. The group was discovered in
1914 by st. Lazariff, commanding Sou
woroff, vessel belonging to the Rus
sian American Company. / think he
obtained the desired permission, pro-
vided no other claimant appeared III
certain time. Any way, he flies the
star spangled banner and claims the
group under the protection Of the United
States. He has established himself ON
the largest island in the gloup, which If
about four miles long and three wide.
There is a lagoon in the centre, which
has no connection with the sea, and the
land consists OF strip around, varying
from one-fourth of a mile to over mile
in width Mr.. Jenkins has been very
energetic, and is now reaping the re
ward of his labors. A visit to this little
gem of the ocean is by no means unin-
teresting. Yankee thrift has made it
little paradise. There is good road
around the island, and the owner will
take you drive in his dog cart along
the beach, bordered on one side by the
sea, and on the other by row OF cocoa
nut trees and bread-fruit trees-all, ex-
cept the horse, the result of his enter
prise. He will show you good sub
stantial dwelling-house, and the house"
of his hired help, which consist OF sew
eral families of natives, good stone
wharf, trim-built little schooner, built
by himself and son-in-law.

Jumping Over Napoleon.

Isabey, the favorite miniature painter
to Napoleon l., boasted of his familiar
acquaintance with the emperor when
first consul. That he was at all events
a very presuming person may be in
ferred from the following practical joke.
Napoleon when first consul, resided at
Malmaison. delighting in the retirement
which it afforded him in his moments of
leisure from state affairs then it was
his custom to take solitary walks in the
avenues, wrapt in contemplation, with
his arms folded across his breast. 1sa-
bey one day, Dragging of his great inti-
macy with Napoleon, boastingly laid a
wager that he would follow the first
consul in his solitary promenade, run
behind him, and jump over his head.
The challenge being accepted, and the
opportunity watched, the artist at
tempted his practical joke, which in fact
he accomplished, but at cost he little
expected. Isabey, running and planting
his hands on the first consul's .shoul-
ders, sprang clean over his head, and,
being recognized and instantly chased,
would have paid dearly for his frolic had
Napoleon caught him. Fortunately the
artist outran the consul, who however
resented the gross liberty by ever after
word excluding Isabey from his pres.

The Coming Paris Exposition.

The Paris correspondent Of the Boston
Journal says: The French have decided
not to adopt any of the plans of their
own or foreign exhibitions with regard
to entraee fees. The tourniquet did not
please them, and a member of the COM
mission naively observes in his circular
that, as this is a State enterprise,
much stricter accountability than that pi
1867 must be expected. The visitor 70
the exhibition OF 1878 must therefore
expect to buy ticket every time he goes,
and this he can do very rapidly, as they
will be for sale in packages, just rs
hurse-car tickets are in America. They
can be had at railway stations in Omnl-
buses and horse-cars, in tobacco shops,
cafes, hotels, theaters, at the Mosques,
in all kind of shops, and at the exhibit
tion itself. In order that tnrgeIy may
not be possible, the Bank of France has
agreed to manufacture the tickets, and
to provide them with a peculiar mark.
which will render any Justification i'm
possible. The exhibition people are,
hear, counting on something like 10,-
600, 900 visitors, and are making most
extraordinary preparations for their
comfort. / am glad to learn that the
architectural features of the exhibition
of 1867 are to be revived on much en-
larged scale. The different countries
are expected to contribute something
original and peculiar in the way Of
building. 1t is pity that some of our
great insurance companies cannot send
over models of their beautiful buildings.
There is to be one immense avenue
piercing The exhibition buildings, and
devoted to the display of architecture.
/ have omitted to state that the season
subscriptions to the great fair will cost
100 francs, and that on no occasion will
the single admission fee amount to more
than one franc, or twenty cents. There
are a good many interests here managed
or controlled by Americans, which will
be represented. The Hotchkiss manu-
factory of cannon, the drilling machine
of McKean & Co., and other mechanical
specialties will doubtless be fully shown.
But these alone will not suffice to
illustrate the growth and progress of the
United States. l hope the Territories
will unite and make collective exhibit
at Paris next year. 1t would be infinite
ly to their advantage. They might
model their exhibit upon that OF Holland
at Philadelphia, which was admirable.
The exhibit OF newspapers would be
desirable also. The director OF the
Temps, the best evening paper in Paris,
was asked, month or two since, if he
would join in display of French jour
nails for 1878, and he answered, "lt
would be useless; the Americans would
be certain to carry off the prize.
Which is comforting to our national
pride.

True COntentmenI,

Man is being prone to find
Fault with the things that are
Who still keeps wishing in his mind
For something better far:
Yet, had he what be does desire,
Soon, sated with the same, e.
he OF his very bliss would tire,
Monotonous and tame.
How many hours Of hopes and sighs
In yearnings vain are spent,
Thinking, if we could gain the prize,
That we would rest content
But, when we reach the wished-for end,
And see one still beyond,
We soon are anxious TO extend
To that which looks more fond.
Still it is best such is the case,
For, we're we satisfied
With things we hsYe. each in its place,
And had no wish denied, a
Not any progress would we mako,
Nor from one stage advance,
or better comforts to partake,
Our pleasures to enhance.
Contentment true is using right
The means we have to bless,
While living in expectant sight
OF greater happiness r.
Anticipation is bliss
That each one can enjoy,
Though in fulfllment they may miss
That which their hearts would cloy.
Growth is the common law of earth,
Change is the rule of Life,
And, being of finite birth,
Our forms with faults are rife;
Perfection is gody grace 81.
Beyond the human scope;
And, running an eternal race,
We still must yearn and hope.

Mr.. John Greenleaf Whittier was
seventy years of age on the seventeenth
day of December, and the Literary
World, of Boston, honors the occasion
with special number, in which the bard
of Amesbury is made the subject of
poems by Longfellow, Bayard Taylor,
Stedman, Holmes, Hayne, g. p.
Lathrop, Holland, Harrison, Hiram
Rich, Lydia Maria Child, James Free
man Clarke, William S. Shurtleff, Celia

letters from Mr.. Bryant, Mr.. R. H.
Dana, Bancroft, G. W. Elliott, Francis
Parkman, Higginson, Mrs. Stowe, Oliver
Johnson and Robert Collyer and of a
descriptive paper by Charles B. Rice.
Mr.. Bryant's letter is as follows:
" should be glad to celebrate in verse the
seventieth return of John Greenleaf Whittier s
birthday, if the thoughts and words fitting
such an occasion would come at call. to be ar
ranged in some poetic form, but find that
must content myself with humble prose. Let
me say, then, that rejoice at the dispensatiou
which has so long spared to the world poet
whose life is as beautiful as his verse, who has
occupied himself only with noble themes, and
treated them nobly and grandly, and whose
songs in the evening of life are as sweet and
thrilling as those Of the vigorous meridian. If
! the prayers of those who delight in hiF Set 80
shall be heard, that life Will be prolonged In al

which is better for his having lived and far

him will be his writings and his memory

Mr. Longfellow's poem is called ''The
Three Silences." We copy it entire:
Three silences there are the first Of speech,
The second of desire, the third OF thought
This is the lore Spanish monk, distraught
| With dreams and visions was the first to teach.
These Siences, commingling each with each,
Made up the perfect Silence that he sought
And prayed for, and wherein at times he
caught
Mysterious sounds from realms beyond our
reach.
Oh. thou, whose daily life anticipates
The life to come, and in whose thought and
| word
The spiritual world preponderates.
Hermit of Amesbury thou, too hast heard
Voices and melodies from beyond the gates,
And speakest only when thy soul is stirred.
OF Mr.. Taylor's poem we give three
stanza's. Reading the lines in Whittiers
hand, and studying the past as the
palmist studies the future, Mr.. Taylor
traces the life of the poet, and writes
Here art thou, Poet-more than warrior, priest
And here thy quiet years
| Yield more to us than sacrifice or feast,
Or clash of swords or spears.
The faith that lifts, the courage that sustains,
These thou vert sent to teach;
Hot blood of battle beating in thy veins,
Is turned to gentle speech.
Another line upon thy hand trace,
! All destinies above;
Men know thee most as one that loves his race
! And bless thee with their love.

The Presbyterlans.

On Tuesday what is known us the Pan.
Presbyterian Council closed its sessions
at Edinburgh. doubtless, tho fruitful
themes of religious education, the proper
training of the young, the means Of re-
sisting the open and insidious assaults Of
infdelty, and the true remedies for the
prevalent materialism of the time, re-
ceived due treatment frCrn the repre-
sentatives OF this conservative church.
Never before did these subjects deserve
more serious attention from the orthodox
than at present, for the church is now
called on TO use all its abilities to main
tain its hold on the consciences of men,
aud to save from falling away the youth
who are surrounded by the seductions of
the infidelity Of the day.
The Presbyterian communion is one of
the ablest bodies Of protestantism. 1t is
planted in Calvinism, and, indeed, what
we know az modern Prcsbyterianism
dates from John Calvin, the severe stu
dent and logical writer who left AN inl-
press on theology comparable only with
that stamped upon it by ST. Paul himself.
Almost recluse, of weak bodily consti.
tuition, but Of firm will and clear and
incisve intellect, John Calvin must
always hold place among the grea!
mouiders of the christian faith. The
work he did had powerful adjutant in
the person Of John Knox, whose teach.
ings have indellibly colored the Scotch
| character, and in Scotland now we see
the fountain head of Presbyterianism
while in Calvin's own country in Switz.
erland it presents far less imposing
front. The doctrines Of Calvin have
nowhere exerted more influence than in
this country From The time Of the Pur.
itan thcocracy to the present, they lave
governed the religious belief of million.
Of our people. The standards adopted
by the famous Westminster Assembly in
1913 mould the faith Of large part o
Professionalism, and they have been little
| affected by the theological turmoil gilmore
than two centuries.
The statistics Of the Presbyterian de-
nomination in all its claimed branches
show membership Of over twenty six
millions. From these figures we gel
some conception of the Importance of the
council which on Tuesday closed its ses
sions at Edinburgh. That conference
participated in by some of the most dis
tinguished Presbyterian divines of thi.
country, succeeding the council held ir
London two years ago, was intended tt
consolidate the forces of the denomina.
tion, and to unite them in one great army
enlisted for the war against moderl
skepLicism.
The census of the Presbyterians of tht
United States shows them to numbe
over million, with {, ,539 church cdifices
providing sittings for over three millions
! of people. They come next to the Meth
odists and Baptists in tho number o
their churches, and in the matter of ma
terial wealth only the Methodsts art
ahead of them whic the Roman Catho
lies who stand third in that order, ar,
behind them by over eight illions o
| dollars.-N y. San.

Budding Frnit.Trces.

There are two well established methods
now in very general use among experts
in fruit culture, for changing or multi
plying varieties of the same class on the
same tree, and both of these are simple
ard inexpensive. The first of these is
known as grG6finy, and is only practiced
OH larger trees, and always in the spring
before the foliage is developed. The
other method, which is much more rapid,
and quite rs sure when properly done. is
budding, and the time for doing this ex-
tends from tho middle of July until the
first of September. Whenever the bark
separates easily from the wood, the buds
may be set, with fair chances of success.
The outfit for budding consists of some
narrow strips of bass mating, such as
comes on the inside of coffee bags, and a
pocket-knife with single blade, with n
small pieco of ivory fastened in the end
of the handle. When the incision is
made the ivory is used to raise the bark
up on either side. so that tho bud may
be pressed into place. The buds to be
inserted should be cut from young,
healthy trees, and always of the present
years growth. those that are most ma.
tured being selected. The leaves may
then be clipped off the branch of buds,
leaving say half an inch of the leaf stalk
attached to the bud. Then with keen.
edged knife Cit off each bus; separately
from half to three. quarters of an inch
in length, leaving thin slice of wood
back of the eye or bud. These should
be kept moist and protected from the sun
or air until set; exposure even for a short
time may prove fatal.
When the whole top or any part of it
is to be budded over, select the spot for
each bud in smooth part of the branch,
not too large, say from one to two inches
in diameter. On this part make an in
cision through the bark in the form of
the capital letter 7, and raise or separate
the bark from the wood with the ivory on
the handle of the knife. The bud may
then be pressed into place, cutting Off
square the portion that goes above the
cross incision. Then with strip of the
bass mating wrap firmly around the
branch above and below the eye. fastcn.
ing the end of the strip by slip knot.
This completes the operation, which can
DC successfully done even by novice in
lcss time than it takes to describe it.
