ONE MORE CHANCE FOR THE
INDIAN.


Jnl the poor Indian. whose untntored
mind-etc., ETC., has been the "enfant
terrible to the American people ever
since the American people had respect
able foothold on this continent. Of late
years he has been put out to nurse by
the paternal Government to many differ
ent agencies, and he has thriyen about
as well on the average as the tenants of a
private founding hospital do when
those tenants cease to be remunerative.
Lo, retaining some of the traditions of
his former independence and savage
grandeur, gets mad occasionally and
scratches and kicks and perchance bites
his nurses. This state of things bring
out Captain Jacks and Sitting Bulls and
puts the Sioux and the Modocs and
the Nez Perces on the war-path, and the
frontiers of civilization, SO called, is
rendered uncomfortable by reason
thereof.
The paternal Government has tried
very many means of pacification-
whisky, agencies, missionaries, Quakers,
the clergy, the Bureau of the Interior,
excursion trips to Washington to visit
the Great Father, liberal appropriations
for gunpowder, moving machines,
patent churns, Spencer rifles and
Rhoddy clothing-and yet if he
by these soothing syrups is rendered
quiescent to-day he becomes very likely
colicky, cross and belligerent tomorrow.
Such seems to be the uncertain nature of
the animal
All these things bid fair to be changed
now. There is formed in New York
from which great things emanate and
where the silver dollar goes mourning as
an outcast and a fraud) a Woman's
League to protect the red man. A mass
convention was held for the purpose of
organizing such league in Chickering's
Hall one day last week. There were
present five women, ten men and three
reporters. The object of the meeting, as
stated, was to secure the cooperation of
ladies in civilizing the Indians and re-
storing to them their lost faith in the
white man.
Father Beeson, who was quite familiar
with the wants and susceptibilities of the
Indian, wanted "a committee of women
sent out West with tracts in their hands
10 see the aborigine as he is, and on
their return he desired that they should
tell the public what manner of creature
this is whom official greed and rapacity
has oppressed for so many years" Bee
BON further said that he had been among
them (the Indians, not the women) for
many years, and that "they are much
maligned race"
Resolutions were adopted protesting
against the proposed transfer of the In
dian Bureau to the War Department.
1t was declared that every promise of
fair dealing made to the Indians by ev-
cry President, from Washington down to-
Hayes, had been violated, and in that
declaration the genezpl belief is that a

There are many ways to color and
paint grasses. Coloring soon fades, is
brittle, and at the same time stiff and
ungraceful. AS the grasses are gath
cred. they should be placed in an old
pail or box of sand in a dark place, and
stick the stems-a few in a place-in
an upright position in the sand. In
this way they do not dry too fast, and
are more pliable and graceful. When
ready for painting, procure five cents
worth each of chrome green, Paris
green, Chinese or California vermili0n,
yellow ochre; mix equal parts of linseed
oil and turpentine, say one gill each, in
q wide-mouth basin; make little sieve
of two thicknesses of tarlatan sewed on
piece of wire bent in circular form,
little loose or bagging in the middle;
take one or two pieces of grass, lay the
parts to be painted on an old plate.
Brush gently with the oil and turpen-
tine, using a clean paint or varnish
brush. Do not get too much on, but
touch all. Then, with the little sieve.
sift on the desired color. Lay it on
paper while busting the color on, so as
to prevent waste. All know the nature
of Paris green, and that it must be used
with care. Have the sand ready again
to stick the painted grasses in until
dry. Don't let the different colors touch
until dry. Arrange with crystallized
grasses and grain"

Evening SOIace.

The human heart has hidden treasures,
In secret kept, in silence scaled;
The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the plee
sures,
Whose charms were broken IL revealed
And days may pass In gay confusion.
And nights In rosy riot fly.
While. lost i'm Fames or wealth's illusion,
The memory of the Past may dc.
But there are hours of lonely musing,
Such as in evening silence come.
When, soft as birds their pinions closing.
The hearts best feelings gather home
Then I'm our souls there seems to languish
tender grief that Is not woe;
And thoughts that once wrung groans of an
guish,
Now cause but some mild tears to flow.
And feelings. once as strong as passions.
Float softly back-a faded dream;
Our own sharp griefs and wild sensations,
The tale of others sufferings seem.

How longs il for the time to be,
When. through the mist of years receding.
Its woes but live in reveriei
And 1t can dwell on moonlight glimmer.
On evening shade and loneliness;
And. while the sky grows dim and DINNER.

Only deeper impulse given
by lonely hour and dark ened room,
To solemn thoughts that soar to Heaven.
Seeking life aud world to come.

A Good Daughter.

There are other ministers of love
more conspicuous than a good daugh-
ter, but none in which gentler, love-
lier spirit dwells, and none to which the
hearts warm acquitals more joyfully
respond. She is the steady light of hes
fathers house. Her idea is indissolu-
bly, connected with that of his happy
fireside. She is his morning sun and
evening star. The grace, vivacity and
tenderness of her sex have their place
In the mighty sway which she holds
over his spirit. The lessons of record
ed wisdom which he reads with her
eyes come to his mind with a new
charm, as blended with the beloved
melody Of her voice. He scarcely
knows WEAKNESS which her song does
not make him forget, or gloom which is
proof against the young brightness of
her smile. She is the pride and orna-
ment of his hospitality and the gentle
nurse of his sickness, and the constant
agent of those nameless, numberless
acts of kindness which one chiefly cares
to have rendered because they are un-
pretending but expressive proofs Of
of love.

This amusement is not confined to

a boy, along the surface of ponds and

judgment as to fall backwards and

have too little "bob'' to keep it steady,
and so it pitcnes from one side to the
other. Now and then we observe the
kite of intelligent enterprise, steady,
well-balanced, soaring upward and on

driven by every breeze, raises the wind
for itself as it moves along. The Chin

Sitting Bull.

Chief Sitting Bull is full-blooded
Teton Indian, the Teton being branch
of the great Sioux Nation. In stature
he is rather inclined to be stout than
tall; perhaps in his moccasins he will
measure five feet eight or nine inches;
weight about 17O pounds. His age is
forty-eight; his hair is a little gray,
mis- eyes dark and his whole appearance
that of full-blooded Sioux on the war
path. He is brave, ambitious, clever
in the indian fashion only. active and,
in the Indian creed, somewhat fanati-
cal. He has long cherished the con-
viction that he is ordained as the In
dian who must wrest from the whites
the country of his fathers. He has
great and almost immeasurable hatred
towards Americans, as distinguished
from Europeans or Canadians. He is
even expert in detecting who are from
the United States and who are not, and
instances are not wanting in his bloody
and savage career where he has shown
wonderful patience and humanity, Of
ten with his own hand protecting cap
tives toward whom he took a liking
or whom he regarded with so much
contempt as to let free for the sake of
showing the captive how little he es-
teemed him. OF course he is polyg-
amist, having three squaws in his te-
pee who are his wives according to the
Indian code, but he has more constan-
cy than Bear Spirit, his brother-in-law,
chief of the Yanktons, and other asso-
ciate chiefs. His "private life" is de-
srcibed by half-breed hunters who have
long been acquainted with him to be
according to Indian code
His great ambition seems to be direct
ed in a military way--to become
great soldier--and he intends even yet
to carry out the Indian policy, Amer
ica for the Sioux."-N Y. Herald.

The origin of the stamp had a tinge
OF romance in il. II was thirty-seyen
years ago that Rowland Hill, while
crossing a district in the north of Eng
land, arrived at the door of an inn
where a postman had stopped to de-
liver letter. A young girl came out
to receive it; she turned it over and
over in her hand and asked the price
OF postage. This was large sum and
evidently the girl was poor, for the
postman demanded shilling. She
sighed sadly, and said the letter was
from her brother, but that she had no
money; and so sne returned the letter
to the postman. Touched with pity,
Mr.. Hill paid The postage and gave the
letter to the girl, who seemed very
much embarrassed. Scarcely had the
postman turned bis back when the
young innkeeper's daughter confessed
that 1t was trick between her and her
brother. Some signs on the envelope
told her all she wanted to know, but
the letter contained no writing. I'VE

vented this mode of correspondence
without paying for our letters.n Th>
traveller, contin uing his road. asked
himself if a system giving place to such
frauds was not vicious one. Before
sunset Rowland had planned to organ

A Scared C0nductoT.

The New York Tribune says that In
passing through train on the New
York Central Railroad to collect tick
cts, the conductor encountered, eastof
Utica, a colored man who had neither
ticket nor medium of exchange, and af-
ter a desultory discussion stopped the
cars and kicked him of the platform.
A few weeks afterward, the conductor
took chair i'm barber-shop in Alba
ny, under the ministration of colored
man. The barber covered his custom
er's face with lather, whipped out q
glittering razor and while ne was i'm
proving its edge by means Of a strop
that dangled from the wall, remarked
to the gentleman in the chair: ''Say,
boss, you doesn't know me, does you?
Does you remember the fellah you
damned from your train up at Tribes
Hill? Dat was bad thing for you to
do, sab, an / remembers it well.D
Right here the conductor Bounded from
his chair and danced around the room
with the lather dropping from his chin,
and his hair standing on end. he was
finally induced to resume his seat, on
the barber's pledging himself to do no
mischief, but he did not enjoy the
shave, and breathed more freely when
he was outside the shop.

The Memphis, Tennessee, Appeal
prints the following as an extract from
a letter of a young man of that city,
now at the Lebanon Law School, to his
father, setting forth the low state of
his finances:
II have 81 in my pocket. so you may
see my finances are at pretty low ebb.
| have not squandered any money, but
one little necessary item after another,
with a new hat, some books, etc.. have
combined to diminish my supply Of
funds. 1, hate to be necessitated to
write for money. hate money, any
how. Don't think from that that /, on
account of my hatred for it, relieve
myself Of it as soon as it is my good
fortune to be burdened with the filth.
1t is the hating to apply for it that
makes me cling to it so tepaciously.
But l speak the truth when say 1 hate
it. 1t causes more trouble than any
one thing earthly. The strife for it
makes man callous and selfish. The
stingy. The strong desire in the human
heart to obtain it tends to crush his
higher aspirations, and subdue his no
bier impulses. 1t renders him cunning
and tricky; causes him to measure his
fellowman's character by his own. And
still, Notwithstanding my thorough
hatred for it, and its blackening infu-
ence on mankind, 1 feel much more
comfortable, and far more independent,
with few loose dimes about my old
clothes than when on touching my
pocket no musical chink is given back.
1t is kinder lonesome feeling, and a
leetle empty; so rest assured that before
long no musical chink' will be waited
to my expectant ear, and I'll be home
sick, and the lonesome feeling will come
DER me, and I'll suffer. Soplease avoid
all these unpleasant consequences by
granting an suspicious ear to my mel
ancholy but earnest appeal"

When the daily occupation is monot-
onous and unengrossing. a full supply
CT excitement for the leisure hours
may be desirable: but where the men
tai powers have been taxed to their ut
most through the hours or labor, it is
absolutely necessary to health and hap
piness that they be entirely released
for at least aportion of the time that
is left. 1t is not enough that the usual
amount of time be spent ini the fsbso-
Lutte rest of sleep, if every waking hour
be filled to the brim with eager serious
occupation. 1t is not enough that GER
tain hours be secured, free from abso-
Lutte work, if they are still -permeated

or exciting pleasures. The mind needs
rest from effort in its waking hours, q
time when it may rightly lay aside its
activity and enjoy being acted upon

Reputation and Character.

Reputation and character arc two
things which must never be confound-
ed. The one is eternal the other is iu-
ternal. The one is determined by what
other people say of us; the other is our
inmost and real self. The one may vary
with the caprice of the people; the other
remains unaffected by the breath of ap-
plause or the mask of hypocrisy. Some
times a man, from certain circum-
stances may have very good reputa-
tion though his character is radically
bad; and there have been cases in
which the noblest men in point of
character have been, just because they
were acting out ttheir principles, in very
poor repute.

Past old gray mill and babbling brook,
Past woodland sweet with song,
Past reedy bank and sheltered nook,

And they heard not the song of bird or stream.
They saw not the sky was blue;
But that all was bright in the morning light.
They knew-they knew.

Through many a hazy mist of care,
Through noon-iay toll well borne,
Through gladstone joys that both might share
They driftcd since the morn;
And they heede not the briars and thorns
And weeds that round them grew;
But that hand and hand they still might stand.
They knew-they knew.
uI-NIGHT.
Through lands aglow with sunsets bright
Through wales of smiles and tears,
They passed-their scant locks cleaning white
With the whiteness of the years.
And they needed not the Reaper's tread.
Nor felt that the night-wind blew;
But that hand in hand they e'er would stand
They knew-they knew.
