ToNAHATcHo is the name of young
Seminole Indian, who has been lately at
school at Fort Myers, Florida, and who
stood at the head of all his classes. Ton
ahatcho is an apt student, bright, intel
ligent and witty; appears to adopt the
habits and refinements of white people
very naturally. Your young Indian,
whether educated or not, possesses one
trait that his savage nature appears to
take to kindly, and that is the marrying
white squaws. No Indian having access
to white society will, as a rule, put up
with squaw of his own color.

a Clever Rogue.


A gentleman Of great experience in the
commercial world cashcd Il check at a
London bank for 81 600 taking the whole
in f100 notes. He was only few yards
from the bank when person resembling
a clerk, bareheaded and with pen be-
hind his ear, touched himon theshoulder,
saying: "Beg your pardon, sir; will you
allow me just to take thenumber of these
notes again? won't keep you minute"
rhe gentleman, taken off his guard,
handed the notes over to the supposed
clerk, whom he followed into the bank.
After giving the former time to reach
the top end and return, he met a gentle
man at the door, saying, "Please walk
this way: that gentleman will attend 10
you in minute" pointing to a clerk who
was deeply engaged. Five minutes
elapsed before the gentleman could draw
the clerks attention to the case, and he
was thundcrstruck to find that this clerk
knew nothing about it, The other clerks
were interrogated, and they were equally
in the dark. OF course, no time was lost
in going to the Bank of England, but too
late; the clever rogue had been before
them, and obtained the gold for the notes.

Phillips, who has just returned from
Deadwood. Mr.. Phillips says business
has for some time past been quite dull III
the Black Hille, but is now picking up
quite rapidly, and the outlook in every
respect is more favorable than ever be-
fore. New discoveries are constantly
being made, but it is no country for poor
people. The country's great need is the
lack of water for the dry hill diggings,
and to meet this demand several large
companies are now making arrangements
for hydraulic works for conducting wa

The DeSmet and Homestake Compan-
les, two wealthy California corporations,

Farming around the foothills is car

and the land is the richest the sun ever
shone upon. The country on the
Speartish and Red Water exces in beauty
and fertility anything ever before seen

MIR, JENKINS IN REV ORLEANS.

A few leading Southern papers like the
New Orleans Picayune and Times have
recently shown disposition to adopt a
very questionable custom quite preva-
lent at the North in mentioning the
names of so-called society ladies" in the
so-caIled "society" letters and gossip
This feature of journalism was first in
troduced into this country by the Home
Journal under the editorial regime of
the brilliant but trashy literary fop, N.
P. Willis. His personal mention of
society events with schedule of the mil
linery and jewelry exhibited on fashion
able occasions became quite the rage, and
the noveau richie, lattcrly known as the
shoddy element, derived great satisfac-
ton from the custom. This was about
the origin of Jenkinism in American
journalism. Since that time several
leading newspapers in the Northern cities
have come to employ a regular Jenkins
on their staff, who is considered as indis-
pensable as a commercial or telegraph
editor, or a base ball editor for sport
ing journal. His province can be sum-
marily defined to be to pander to the
yitiated tastes of the lower grades OF
fashionable life by chronicling even the

most trivial movements of those who en-
joy seeing their name in print.
The custom is one that in very re-
fined society would be "sat down ON"
heavily, The first attempt to introduce
it in New Orleans by the Picsyune and
Times has been. Quite a large number
of gentlemen of high social position ap-
pointed a committee TO wait on the pro-
prietor of these papers and request them
hereafter to cease from mentioning the
names Of ladies in their so-called society
letters and gossip. 1t is unnecessary to say
that the request was complied with. II
may be said to those who condemn this
custom what the girl said to her mother,
who was scoldiRg her for allowing her
lover to kiss her when parting nj the
front gate, "Oh, ma; il didn't do ME any
hurt. and it seemed to do Frank so much
good" 1t may not do the general reader

any serious damage, but does very mnch

held up to the public gaze as bellies and

notices We're paid for as advertisements
and inserted in the advertising columns,
they would then be taken at their true
value. As it is their insertion is gener-
ally procured" gratis, or at the expense
Of giving "Jenkins" a small gratuity OF

such description, replied the doctor, and

The only conclusion reached was sim
ply that their friend should induce his
sister to write for careful account of her
friends last moments, the reason to be
kept az their own secret. In week an
answer was possible; until then they
should possess their souls in patience.
Weeks pass even if we are in a state
of expectancy, and the three friends
found themselves once more together.
No inquiries had cleared up the mystery,
and there had been no repetition OF the
appearance. The portion of the letter
that concerned them ran thus: "Our tel
egram told you the bare fact that Anna
had ceased to breathe; and it is right
that some of the facts concerning her
death should be told you. The whole
burden of her prayer had been to be
spared for her tenth anniversary, and
this ardent wish was granted. More
| than that came to comfort her in her dy-
ing hours, for in her state of semi-cOn-
sciousness she continually thought her
self back in her old home. As she has
never seen it in its present condition,
there was nothing TO break the illusion,
and her soul seemed to see all as it APP
peared on her bridal night, ten years be-
fore. She died at four o'clock, and be-
fore six o'clock we had robed her in one
of those lovely white costumes that were
so identified with her long, weary hours
Of sickness. Her hair was arranged in
loose waves, lightly caught by blue rib
bons, and broad silk sash of the same
hue confined her dress at the waist As
she lay on her couch she truly looked as
if she had entered into her rest, on y the

might perhaps say that Mr.. Henry James
has discerncd in relation to literature
what has long been known in relation to
art-that with artists Of any genius,
"oketches" arc apt to be more satisfying
than finished pictures. But then the

been most struck with, pictures in which
he has given all that struck him most,
and left only what did not strike him 10

Now Mr.. Henry James does not give
us sketches of the striking features i'll
what he sees of human life and passion,
50 much as finished pictures of the little
hooks and bays into which human ca
price occasionally drifts, when the main
current of life's deeper interests has left
US for moment on one side, and rushed
past us. He does not half paint what is
striking; he prefers rather to paint with
wonderful care and precision what is not
striking, or snly striking by its contrast
with what is usually thought so. He
loves to paint that aspect of life which is
commonly mistaken for its main aspect,
when it Is not its main aspect; or if it is
so is 50 only because, in the particular
case of the character he thus studies, the
preparatory antecedents of action Or pas,
sion as they show themselves in Other
beings have taken up an accidental pre-
ponderance, and superseded the interest
of the action or passion to which they
are usually only preparatory; Mr.. Henry
James is not so much novelist as an cp-
isodist, if such term be allowable. But
he is wonderful episodist.
