HALL and HYDE, Of the board of trustees,
received the kings Of the forest.
They remained in the Gallery for nearly
two hours. At one time they surrounded
the statuary representing the Goods and
Goddesses of the Chase" How they sur
veyed, scrutnizcd and criticised-in ST.
lence! What a fund of information to learn
served in their bright, dark eyes and sub
dued actions They walked lightly DER the
floor, and ever and anon they'd whisper and
point their fingers, opc wide their mouths,
make big eyes, and seemed translixcd in
wondrous wonder.
They gathered round the statue of the
Greek Slave, and then the jabbering COM
mcnced. What novel criticism their
opinion in print would make! Mr.. Cor
coRAN informed the great chiefs that he
proposed to present TO each and every one
of them souvenir of the Gallery.
A lady presented SPOTTED TAIL with
photograph of Venus, but to the surprise Of
all present he refused to accept it. The
Interpreter said that his reason for dcclin-
ing was that il he took the picture home
he would all the time be wanting the
woman II represented.
The chiefs were attircd in citizens dress,
but, strange to say, when they entered the
Gallery they dofled their coats, and promo
naded through the picture and statue rooms
in all the cool nonchalance Of chcckered
shirt sleeves. At one time they were drawn
up in semi-circle in the main gallery, and
a complete photograph taken of the group.
This will be reproduced on canvass by
renowned artist, and placed in the gallery
as memorial.

just such scenes as was witnessed to-day
that impresses one with the earnest desire
of the Indian to become like his pale

their wives and children, their tribes, and
tell the stories of their sightseeing at the
homes of the pale faces They are driven
into the forests far, far away from
all the ennobling and ciyilizing
influences of the white man, and
what else can they do but 90 back again into
their savage life? Let us give them corn
fields, photograph galleries, boot and shoe
stores, churches, theatres, dry goods estab-
lishmcnts, and, by the way, learn the young
braves how to measure of the silks and

Give them q chance to build a city, and

The REPUBLICAN performs a pleasant duty
this morning in placing upon the tablets of
fame the name of another heroine. Yesterday
II was young girl saving three men from
death in a sewer. To-day the case is that of
Miss WILSON, ncico of Major TRAINoR,
keeper of the Newark bay lighthouse. She
saw three men capsizc in the bay. She ran
down the staircase and quickly unisstcncd a
small boat, and put out TO the men. She
backed the little craft toward the nearest man
and calling on him to climb into the stern
made for the others, and rescued them. Fur.
thcr comment is unnecessary.

THE wicked ways of Wall street are beyond
all comprehension. RUFUS HATCH, once a
power in Wall street and able TO swing his
check for a million, has now failed for paltry
$500. He says the minions Of JAY GOULD did
it. Already badly crippled in finances and bare
ly able to get around, these time-servers of the
rcigning monarch piled him tHATCH) with gin
cocktails aud whispered of big things in West
crn Union stock. RvFrs flushed with the
liquor and the prospect it gave him, went in
and found himself the only gudgeon in the
net. And 50 JAY GOULD settles an old score
and RUFUS HATCH disappears from his ia

THE statement was made day or two since
that little seven.y .ycar.old boy, while playing
with some companions, was lost in vacant
house. and could not bo found. OF course this
occurred In Philadelphia. All the vacant
houses in the city were searched, and the
usual CHARLIE Ross sensation created. 1t now
turns out to be peculiar case of manslaughter.
WILLIE BIsHoP, the victim, while playing on
a landing near the foot Of Vine street, was
pushed overheard by one Of the other urchins
none of them being eight years Of agc) and
drowned. Instead Of giving the alarm the
three concocted a story that they had
been playing in an empty house, and
that some larger boys had driven them
away and locked BISHOP up in closet. For
three days the police searched all the vacant
houses, but could find no trace Of the missing
lad. At last the body was found in the river,
when one Of the schcmers, named Alexander,
confessed the true story. The boys wore ar
rostcd. and to-day the coroner will hold an
inquest in tho case. They gave rs an cxplana-
tion for their wild story that they were afraid
of being whipped at home. They played their
part we'll, and but for the finding Of the body
the police might have been searching yet.

IT HAS TRANSFERRED that the Bible does not
always work good deeds. The wife of Rev.
WM. p. Books, Of St. Louis, while fumbling
among the Bibles, tracts and hymn books that
he had packed in bag in readiness for a tour
as an evangelist found bundle Of letters ad-
dressed to him. She observed that the Ian
guago was afectionatc, and that the hand
writing was that of Sister MCDONALD, an
active member of her husbands church. A
few hours later Sister MCDONALD called
Sister Brooks, with the fury Of q tigress,
shook the intercepted letters in her face and
accused her of trying to ALLEVIATE the affections
Of her husband. Sister MCDONALD denied the
authorship of the letters, but the wife seized a
cowhidc which she had procured for the pur-
pose and laid 1t on the shoulders and arms OF
Sister MCDONALD with all the force she could
command. The assailed sister was not dis.
posed to take her punishment with patience,
and she fought back with fists and finger nails.
1t was a desperate combat, ending in victory
for Mistress Brooks so far as the fight was
concerned but, sad to relate, the letters,
upon examination, were found to have been
written by Mrs. B. to her husband previous to
marriage. Of course, Sister MCDONALD was
again received into tho confidence of the
family. st. Louis is strange place, anyhow

Government officers. There can be no reason
able doubt of the prompt payment both Of

market price Of tho bonds has fallen from 80

Of Government securities, A purchase Of the

is6 pcr cent. per annum on the sum invested.
At 20 tho income would be t:56 per cent; at

VIZ HAVE the startling announcement from
Professor HENRY that his friend, Professor
TEMPLE, residing AT Florence, Italy has gone
and discovered a comet. The discovery was
made on Tuesday. The Professor sends us the
following, which perfectly explains itself: "A
comet W as discovered by TEMPLE at Florence,
October 3; right ascension, twenty three hours
and ffty-Onc minutes; declination south, ten
degrees and nineteen minutes; daily motion,
ninety minutes towards the southwest 1t has n
small bright tail" There is no American who
does not boast proudly f"oHr ProfcssorH ESnY,"
the greatest scientist of the age. The who
world of science loves and h0nors him, and
millions Of unborn will sing his praises Us they
read of him in history. But with all this we
do protest against Professor HENRY sending
forth to the world such u ncagrc account Of
a comet. For centuries untold have
the beings in this planet lopked and
watched, in trembling aud fear, for
the coming aud going of comets What does
he mean by its daily motionf" and for the
sake of our readers it is demanded that more
distinct information be given of the small
bright tail" and whether it is proposed to
have it switch around these localities. 1t
should be remembered that the unlearncd in
the secrets of astronomy have even deemed
"Ihc bright tail part" as the section more
likely to knock our little world into space.
We are just getting rid of SPOTTED TAIL, when
over comes Comet Tail and in such an indeG-
mite shape, too. In all seriousness, we do pro-
test against the above small amount of comet

A CORRESPONDENT inquiries why the COM
miSsioners in charge of the affairs of the
Frccdman's Savings and Trust Company do
not divide tho 10 per cent. they have realized
from it's assets, and alleges that much suffer.
ing would bo alIeviated by such dividend.
The reason has been officially stated, but may
be briefly reiterated as follows The bank has
a very large number of small dcpositors, thou.
sands of them of sums less than ono dollar
To send dividends of 10 per cent. to these
and all others would involve an expense
in each case nearly cqualing the amount
of the dividend. When it is considered
that this expense Of checks aud postagos
would have to be deducted from the
remaining assets, thus coming out of the
pockets OF the dcpositors at last it would make
their final receipts so much the less. There
is a prospect OF the sale of the bank building
to the Government at fair price, and if Con-
gress should authorize this il is hoped there
will he funds enough to justify division
among all the dcpositors, large and small. De.
positos should rccolcct that it costs just as
much to distribute dividend by check and
mail of one per cent. rs it does of one hundred
per cent, and be satisfied that the action of
the commissioners in defcrrng the ten per
cent. dividend was in the line of true economy.
