The ESQHiI1dUr.

Tue E,qGimaux are the most consider
able remnant in northern regions OF that
nameless prehistoric race OF fishers and
hunters who once clung to the coasts and
shores OF Europe until they were pushed
away into the holes and corners, and to
the very verge and edge Of the great con-
lincnts Of the earth, By the successive
bands Of the Aryan migrations. They
once existed in England. France, Ger
many, Denmark, Sweden and Spain, 10 all
OF which they have left their traces in ir-
termen,s and implements and laysialls
and "kitchcnmixens." They were OF
Turauiau race; and even at the present
day they exist as Blsks in the rugged
mountains of Spain. Ia Sweden we find
them US Lapes and Firms; and 50 on
along the Russian coast there is fringe
of them that clings to the edge OF the
land on the shore OF the frozen ocean.
How the great division OF this prehistoric
family found their way to the vast and
inhospitable regions in which they are
now known to foreigners rs E,quimauN
is open to doubt. The received theory
nav is that they were forced thither from
the coasts both OF Asia and America,
across Behring's Strait, by the migratiCnS
OF Indian and Mougolan tribes but It IS
at least as likely that these hardy sAyages.
who are no where SO happy as in their
native tents, il they only have plenty OF
seal meat and blubber, have existed from
time immemorial in the Arlic regions,
and in this sense may claim to be as re-
ally autochthon aud indigenous children
OF the soil, or rather oil ice and snow, as
any race on the face OF the globe. But
whether indigenous or not they are,
branch of the great TurAnian family, ard
carrying with them in their speech the
best evidence of their origin in the alfni-
ty which their language bears to the
Lapp, Bask. Hungarian and Turkish ci-
alect, of their common race. The reader,
therefore, sees at once that these Esqui-
maux, whose existerce-huddled up in
snow and ice, and condemned for halt
the year to a perpetual night (Which we
may assure them from experience is not
nearly so dark as London in a really
good winter iog), and with few or no
wants hey ond blubber seems so wretch
ed and miserable TO civilized man, have
attained 10 the digLily of being men,
bers OF the great body polite OF nations,
and are by kinship cousins to some OF the
proudest and hautiest peoples in the
world There is Turkish proverb, we
believe, which speaks OF the pride OF the
Magyar as exceeding that Ct the peacock.
and no doubt the Magyar repertoire Of
wise saws, which embody The "wisdom
of many in the wit of ore" contains q
saying as opposite to the Turks but here
we find that the ESquimaux are Of the
same race as both these peaeoeks, and,wc
dare say, have quite as much right to
pride themselves on their national char
acterisiics .-LoHdon QHa5icTiy HcricW,

serving of honorable mention, certainly
the brave and thoughtful action OF an Ut
known locomotive engineer, who saves g
hundred lives from instant destruction,

ion without some sort OF recognition
There is scarcely day passes but what.
on some one OF our many railroads, q
train escapes destruction as il wero by q
scratch, but i. is seldom the papers find
Il out. \ case of this kind, where train
barely escaped Fall River disaster was

eastern trip ty way of the Chicago and
Alton railroad ard had berth on Il sleep

the conduc or awoke him and asked him
TO come out and see how narrowly he had
escaped perdtion. Wolfe followed him.
and found the train standing on the
bridge that crossed lhe Mississippi a.
Louisiana, Mo. The conductor led him
to the front of the engine, and there. sew
eral hundred feet from the shore, was
yawning chasm over 100 feet vide. Inc
river had undermined rhe third pier from
the shore, and still some distance from
the draw, and it had gone down, carrying
whole section OF The bridge with IT,
The time of night was II 40, and the
freight train had crossnd safely at H.
The engineer gave the accustomed three
whistles as he approached the bridge. and
the position OF the signal lights showed
that the draw vas shut. The engineer,
whose name is p. Mcnamara. said that as
he approached the bridge he was selzed
with a strong pre;entiment that all was
not tight. lie cosld see no signal from
the watchman, always kept on duty al
the bridge, and proceeded very slowly.
All at once, and he could not tell why he
did il. the engineer reversed the engine
and stopped his train. He got of to look
ahead, and found the pilot within two
feet of the yawning chasm. Another turn
of the wheels and he never would have
lived TO tell the story, nor, in all prooa-
bility, any OF the hundred or more pas
sengers in the liYe coaches, which would
have inevitably plunged into the roaring
torrent fifty feet below. 1t seems the
watchman, who had passed over the
bridge after freight had Iassed' had gone
on spree. and was found drunk in the
city. The train was delayed until the
next morning, and the passengers trans
ferred. But very few of them found out
ill morning. what narrow escape they
had from destruction. Wolfe still shud-
ders when he tells the story, and espec-
ially when he comes 20 that part where
he related that thirty days accident pol

And gayly on her way the fair morn drifts
TO shower in tickle homage gracious gifts,
And now she kisses Old Years pallid face,
That oft hath glowed beneath her fond en-
brace.

Merits OF Paper Collars.

The man who had paper collars for
sale was haranguing a crowd on the Es-
planade the other night, as follows ::
'Here, gentlemen, is the champion pa
per collar of the globe, unequalled for
style, duration and finish of it. You
can wear one week, turn it and wear
it another week, split it, and 10! you
have two more collars. And when l
think of the oceans of beer that will an
nually dribble down through all these
collars, [ feel like brewery. Every
body should wear these collars; no one
can keep house without them. They
promote longevity and restore gray hair
to its original color. They improve the
complexion, purify the blood, and force
beard or mustache upon the smooth
est face in six days. They strengthen
the appetite and will remove tan,
freckles, corns and bunions. They will
curl the straightest hair in 10 minutes.
Every woman should buy box for her
husband theywill collar man in club
room, billiard-hall, political caucus or
free lunch regularly and promptly at 8
p. m. and drag him home. A man can It
swear with one of them on. Business
men should make their ofice-boys wear
them, as they are infallible and absolute
preventives of whistling. Hotel keep
ers should buy them, as they won't let
the wearer eat too much. They are
warranted to cure tooth-ache of three
years. standing, neuralgia, rheumatism,
broken heart, pararie mango, consump-
ton and blind staggers. - Cincinnati

Mars Moons.

When the telegraph announced the discov-

had two satellites, and the dispatch was read
next morning at ten thousand American break
fast tables, what think you was the effect upon
the hearers9 Some colloquy similar to the fol-
lowing was sure to occur: "Mars has two
moons, hey? Pass me the milk, Kitty. Strange,
isn't it, that astronomers never saw them be-
fore. Another chop, please. l wonder what
they'll discover next! These corn cakes are

A MEXICAN BALLAD.

There was a Greaser, bold and staid-
{, Don Gomez del Gomazza-
Who loved a gentle Greaser maid.
The Donna Frontpiazza.
Don Gomez rode mustang proud
And wore a bloody slasher,
Of all the galIus Greaser crowd
He was the boss heart smasher.
Don Gomez once was tempted sore,
Despite of law and order,
To glut his greedy thirst for gore
And cross the Texan border.
So fare ye well, me lady fair
My pretty little Donnap'
In vain she tore her raven hair
Her Gomez was a goner.
Then hied he to the Rio Grande,
With Yankee hordes to battle;
He crossed into the promised land
And went to stealing cattle.
And there with more than royal pluck
He did his pleasing duty,
And, meeting with uncommon luck,
He started home with booty.
But oh, the Yankees. fierce and strong,
While marching out to battle,
Beheld Don Gomez come along
A-driving them there cattle.
They gathered in the festive steers,
And snagged that gallant Greaser,
And, with round of boots and jeers,
They hung him to a tree, sir.
Loud walled the Greaser maiden fair
The Donna Frontpiazza;
Once more she tore her raven hair
For Gomez del Gomazzal
