that he would show them something

fastened the muzzle and took it of. No
sooner had this been done than the pet
bounced him and began to chaw on

Burmese Food.


The Burmese have ii remarkable rCl.
ish for the most strongly-llavored food.
Living as they do either by the sen or
on the banks of rivers and creeks, il IL
natural that fish should form one Of the
commonest ingredients of the food Of
the people, and were they content with
the fish freshly caught, from the river
or sen there would be no matter for re-
mark. This most unsavory food, hugo
mounds of which are piled up in every
market, and whole boat-loads of which
are carried by river, poisoning the very
mr. where the boat Is moored, consists
Of fish which has first been allowed to
decay, and il then III some way pickeled
and pounded into sort of paste. II is

gain a partizan advantage over the

allowed itself to be swallowed up and

who for ten years has been an able
and active Congressman, is beaten
by an ignorant blatherskite without

is claimed. This result increases the

WHENEVER a tribe of Indians, who have
abided by their treaty stipulatiOns, but who
have been driven TO desperation by the
wrongs inflicted upon them by the Govern
ment, its rascally agents and the unjust en-
croachments of white settlers, kill few
white men, it is "butcheryn or 'massa-
Gre" while if that number of Indians are
killed, the event is ehronicled under such
heads as "Red devils sent to their hunting
grounds" Redskins bite the dustnand the
like. The injustice of this course is appar-
ent We are the enemies Of the Indians.
not they our enemy. There is no wrong
which man may infict upon man which
the United States Government and the bor-
der settlers have not inflicted upon the In
dian, while the best authorities, military
and civil, agree that the Indians have held
peaceably and honorably to treaty stipula-
tons, and have remained friendly to the
great Father and his people wherever our
treaty stipulation have been lived up to.
The race of American Indians is doomed
to rapidly pass away. Their presence upon
the western confines of our continent is un-
doubtedly often hindranee to Caucasian
enterprise and daring, but that is no reason
why nation boasting of its Christian civi.
lization should break its most solemn
pledges to them or rejoice in their slaugh-
ter. Such course reminds one of the bar
barity of savage races, who kill their old
people and sickly children because they
are cumbranee. No wonder the officers
on the plains fight with a weak heart, when
they know they are fighting to exterminate
innocent men, and to make wrong and in
justice triumphant-Pit Pitts6urqh Teleqraph.

Curious New york Characters.

Whoever has been here lately has seen
queerly dressed person, whether man or
woman it would be hard to tell-a person
with a semi-TurkIsh garb and an old straw
hat perambuleting the sidewalks near the
pOst-ofiice and Astor House, selling papers
to anybody who viii buy. This famous
person is -Ri-Ton, a very harmless sort
of creature of the Mary Walker species
though she has a husband and makes
newspaper, ''the sassiest paper in the
world" She strolls, slowly and pleasantly
with a smile almost always on face that
is far from repulsive, and sometimes boys
and men collect around her, greatly to the
ANNOYANCE ofthe rector st. Paul's church,
who got her arrested the other day as
disturber of the peace. There was no
proof that she had disturbed anybody's
peace but that of the incensed rector, aud
the Judge let her off. Two or three weeks
ago she was arrested on some frivolous
charge and committed for want of bail,
which DR.. Logan, visitor in the city,
promptly paid for her. Her paper is full
of crudities, with glimmerings of sense In
paragraphs of nonsense and rubbish But
it is one of modern city life to develop this
sort of eccentricity. A very interesting
chapter might be written on the eccentric
characters of New York, chief Of whom is
George Fransis Train, who has abstained
from meat for years and has taken Turkish
baths enough to have reduced an ordinary
man to presperation, if not to have dis
solved him into an impalpable mist
saw him lately looking as self-absorbed and
intense as ever, his head full of splendid
conceits anc crotchets, his talk a continu-
Gus flow of brilliant, startling, shocking,
absurd, revolutionary, quaint, reverent
savings. He seems to be a human locomo-
tive without brake or stop-cock. He
watched the sparrOws on the green and
the pidgeons that circled over the park;
he followed the children with his eager
ewes and seemed to pine after them, him
self big, ovsrgrown boy. An inexpres-
sible sadness came into his face sometimes,
and then it was tender and sweet as wo-
mans. One can not help feeling deep
sympathy for the man, who with more
poise and steadiness of nature, with men,
tai equilibrium which he haseithir lost or
been denied, perhaps with better regulated
nerve guage, might be one of the .ablest
and mrst brilliant NEE of the age. 1t is a
terrible reflection on our medical science
that it has found no way of restoring such
a man to the world and to himself Cor
