Black grenadine dresses are relieved
by transparent sleeves of black Spanish
lace, and there are beaded sleeves with
vest to match worn with heavy black
silk dresses.
The Trianon polonaises of figured silk
are made exceeding -bouHIant, with the
fullness beginning directly below the
waist line. The front is square in the
neck, or else surplice shaped, with very
full drapery.
Lace sleeves are seen on all dressy
silks used for dinner and evening.
When these are white, they are usually
OF Valenceniennes, but if the scarf or
sash is white Spanish lace, the sleeves
should correspond.
Pompadour cloth is in small chintz

The Indians of Florida.

A gentleman who has recently been
among the Indians of Florida writes: 1
have learned O number of interesting
things regarding these Indians from the
officers L have named which / will
briefly note. The whole number now
in Florida is about three hundred, di-
vided into four bands, as camps. About
one-third are Greeks, the remainder
Seminoles. Chitco, the chief of the
Greeks, is a most hospitable man.
Everything he had in the way Of COM
forts was at the disposal of his visitors.
His band raised corn, garden vegetables
and sugar-cane. One of the young
men has invented a mill for crushing
cane, which gives evidence of considera-
BILE genius. He is anxious TO learn Eng
glish and receive an education, but is
forbidden TO do so. The children are
kept away from the whites as much as
possible in order to prevent them learn
ing English or knowing anything about
civilized habits. The head men would
not talk about the affairs of their tribe.
They didn't like Washington talk and
while they liked white people come see
'em' had no faith in the government and
would communicate nothing. ALI that
was learned of them was from the in.
terpfeter and from the whites who live
near them. The visit of the officers was
q surprise to them, or none of the young
people would have been seen. The
Seminoles managed the matter better
and prevented o surprise.

Sentiment on the Sands.
We wandered away from the crosd,
The blare OF the noisy band,

Talking ridiculous nonsense,
Inspecting preposterous shells,
Flotsam and jetsam, various,
With singular maritime smells.

Some muscular bivalyes agape,

The Law and Epidemics.

In most of our cities the law requires
that every case of smallpox shall be at
once reported to the Board of Health.
Failure to report a case by the attend
ing physician or the patients family
incurs penalty. Similar laws have
likewise been adopted in respect to
other infectious diseases, the worst of
which are diphtheria and scarlet fever.
The special object of these laws is to
secure the isolation of the disease.
The diseases of childhood are largely
propagated in the school-room. and
hence the law not only cuts off the pa
tient from the school. but allows his re-
turn only after fixed time from his
recovery.
But, while it has been possible to
control smallpox, so that it has ceased
to be an object of dread, it has not been
possible to secure fully the isolation of
patients suffering from scarlet fever
and diphtheria. All last winter and
spring there were nearly two hundred
cases of scarlet fever q week in New
York City. 5a
One difficulty in securing this isola-
tion is that there is not in the minds of
the people generally full conviction
that these diseases are as infectious as
smallpox. When sick with the small
pox, no one but the nurse and the doc
tor can visit the patient, and in case of
death he is buried in private; with scar
let fever and diphtheria, the members of
the family freely enter the room, and
other children are allowed to call at the
house; and in case of death, the usual
funeral ceremonies are observed.
Parents and teachers should fully Co
operate with the law in securing isola-
ton of these diseases, and should do
whatever is necessary to this end be-
yond what the law is at present pre-
pared to do.

SPut on PetticOats!"

The Indian custom is to butcher
prisoners taken in battle. Such, how
ever, was not the practice of Tecum-
sch, the great chief who, as an ally of
the British, fought against us in the
war of 1912. He hated the Americans,
but he fought as warrior, and not as
a Thug.
In 1918, Col. Dudley, while attempt
ing to relieve Fort Meigs where Gen.
Harrison was besieged by British and
Indians, was defeated with great slaugh-
ter. As usual, the Indians began kill
ing the American prisoners. General
Proctor, the British commander, looked
coolly on and made no effort to res
train them.
Suddenly a voice sounded like clap
of thunder. and Tecumseh, mounted on
a foaming horse. dashed among the
butchers. Two Indians we're in the act
of killing prisoner. Springing from
his horse, Tecumseh seized one Indian
by the throat and the other by the
breast and threw them to the ground.
Drawing tomahawk and scalping-
knife, he dared any Indian to touch an
other prisoner. A chief disobeyed, and
Tecumseh Drained him with his toma.
hawk. The Indians sullenly desisted.
"What will become of my lndiansP
he exclaimed. Then turning to Proc.
tor, who stood near, he sternly de-
manded why he had not put stop to
the massacre.
Your Indians cannot be command
ed," replied the General.
$50 away! You are unfit to com
mand. Put one petticoats" was the
scernful reply.

Who Pays the Taxes.

The Democratic newspapers will nev-
er cease bowling about two things
namely: that the Presidential election
in 1876 was fraud, and that Samuel
J. Tilden had q tremendous majority
on the popular vote. This popular-vote
branch of their grievance still sticks in
their throats, and they have harped SO
long upon it that the average Democratic
voter has become convinced that his
party is decidedly numerous every
where, and owns most of the property,
and pays large proportion of the tax
es, State and National. This is de-
lusion that can easily be dispelled by
reference to the facts and figures. The
TTibnne's Washington correspondent
recently published some statistics go
ing to show the relative condition of
the two political parties that should not
be lost sight of in this discussion. The
popular vote in 1873 for the present
members of the House of Representa-
tives showed majority in favor of the
Republicans of 995, ZOO. In the States
that gave Republican majorities last
fall, the majority of Electoral votes
was thirteen. The majority of the pop
ulation, according to the last census, is
1,5OO, 900, in round numbers, in favor
of the Republican States. In the mat
ter of wealth, the Republican States
exceed the Democratic States by $12,-
713,415,1 141. The Republican States
contributed in taxes in 1873 more than
S115, ,OOO, 600 more than the Democratic
States. According to the last census,
those in the Democratic States who
could not read or write exceeded the
same class in the Republican States by
over 5000, 900. These figures are au-
thentic, and can be relied upon. The
moral support that they furnish be-
longs to the Republican party, and a
knowledge of the facts dispels the de-
lusion that aff1icts certain ignorant
Bourbons that their party contains a
majority of the voting population and
an excess of the country's wealth

Average Weight.

A Prussian of an inquiring mind has
been trying to average the weight of
people. The average shows that a cit
izen of the world on the first day of his
appearance in public weighs about six
pounds and a half-a boy-baby little
more, a girl-baby little less. Some
very modest babies scarcely turn the
scale with two pounds and half, while
other pretentious youngsters boast of
ten and eleven pounds. He grouped
his thousands of people according to
ages, and found that the young men OF
twenty averaged one hundred and forty
three pounds each, while the young
women of twenty average one hundred
and twenty pounds. His men reached
their heaviest bulk at about thirty-fve,
when their average weight is one hum
dred and fifty-two pounds; but the wo-
men slowly grew on until fifty, when
their average weight was one hundred
and twenty-nine pounds. Men and wo-
men together, the weight at full growth
averaged almost exactly one hundred
and forty pounds.

Business Failures.

The circular of the Mercantile Agen-
cy of r. G. Dun & Co., just issued, gives
the number of failures in the United
States tor the third quarter of 1879 as
1852, with liabilities amounting to
SIS, ,275, $50. Compared with the third
quarter of the previous year, a great
reduction is exhibited, the number of
failures being 1881, and the amount of
liabilities $51, 102, ,813 less. For the first
nine months of 1879 the failures num-
bered $500, with liabilities of $81, ,O54,- :
$40. During the corresponding period
in 1873 the failures numbered 8, ,678 and
the liabilities S197 .211, ,129, showing
that thus far during the current year
there has been a large reduction in the
number of failures and much larger
proportionate reduction in the amount
of liabilities involved. Both in number
and amount involved the failures for
the third quarter of 1879 have been the
lightest the country has experienced in
any year since the panic. The average
liability per failure was about S12, 900;
a year ago the average was nearly twice
as large. The fact that business houses
are in exceptionally strong condition at
the present time tells its own story of
the business revival.
The marked contrast with the favor
able exhibit made by the United States
is that which Canada makes, according
to the figures of the agency. The num-
Der of failures in the Dominion during
the third quarter of 1879 exceeded by
more than one third the failures for the
corresponding quarter of 1873; while
the amount involved was one-half
larger. In fact, the amount involved
by the failures in Canada for the quar-
ter ending June 80, 1879, was almost
half as much as the total liabilities in
the United States during the same
period. The population of the United
States is easily ten times that of Can
ada, while in point of wealth the dis
proportion is still greater. Even on the
basis of population the failures in Can
ada were five times as disastrous to the
commercial community as those in the
United States.-Detroit Free Press.

And turned from fire and sword
To sing asong of pleasure

A Real Peril.

Democratic journals are never tired
of bowling about the Republicans being
in power by minority vote. And yet
the Republican States which, by the
census of 1870, contained population
OF 10, 289. 1922, polled last year $685., ,5S4
votes, while the Democratic States with
q population in 1870 of 1884, ,435,
polled q vote last year of 2,S39, 1856
votes. But with nearly million less
votes the Democratic States secured
sixteen more Congressman than were
secured by the Republican States.
Here is a strange question of American
politics. How is this gross inequality
to be accounted forp On the average
of the total vote, assuming, in equity,
that it requires the same number of
votes to elect Democratic as Repub-
ican Congressman, the Republican
party would have secured 169 members
of the present Congress, and the Dem
ocratic party 125 members. This is a
startling proposition. but it results
from the comparative votes of the two
parties. The excess of Democratic
Congressman on the deficient vote of
the Democratic party as compared with
that of the Republican party represents
Democratic NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., intim-
idation, the shotgun policy, bulldozing
and fraud. No matter how humiliating
and shameful the reflection may be, it
is best that the American people
should realize that Democratic con-
troll of Congress was secured by crush
ing freedom of political discussion and
action, by coercing citizens, by the
spilling of blood, and by deliberate
frauds upon the ballot-bOxes. These
remarkable frauds and acts of BULLDOG
ing are confined mainly to the solid
Democratic South. The Democrats
have twenty-eight members in the Sen.
ate from the South and only twelve
from the North. In the House the
Democrats have one hundred members
from the South and only fifty-five from
the North. The committees of both
Houses are made up with a majority o1
Democrats. The Southern members
have an overwhelming majority in the
Democratic caucus. The caucus de.
cides the policy of the party and through
it the South dominates the country. II
is this aspect of affairs which alarms the
country and is arousing public senti
ment to the perils of the situation. II
is not only virtual surrender to the
Southern Confederacy with all thai
term implies, but it is submission to
the doctrine of minority rule. The
! moment the American people let &C

sMistakes That Are Crimes.''

Since the crushing defeat which the
Democracy of Ohio suffered. there
comes from various parts of the coun-
try, and particularly from the South,
wall of anger and disgust. 1--WE might
have expected this" writes one Demo-
crat to another in Washington, after
the commission of series of mistakes
which are crimes" Another incau-
tiouslv remarks that "our Hotspurs
should have been restrained for the
time"
To what Z" Mistakes do these Demo,
Gratis refer2 What is there in their ma
ture which makes them crimes? When
did they learn that these mistakes were
crimesP These and many similar ques-
tions suggest themselves when Demo-
crat refers to party mistakes as crimes.
Was it the soft money lunacy that was
one of these mistakesp If so, why had
not this Democrat protested when it
was dangerous, and not after it had
ceased to exist because of Democratic
defeat? Or were they the '' mistakes"
of the extra session of the Democratic
Congress-the starve-the-G Government
policy, the re-assertion of the right of
secession, the denial that this country
is Nation, the notification of laws it
had no power to repeal, the turning out
of crippled Union soldiers from Offices
in control of the Democracy and filling
them with able-bodied ex-Confederatesp
The Democratic purpose to take the
Government by the throat unless the
President should surrender his constl-
tutional prerogatives was announced by
Senator Thurman before the last Con-
gress passed out of existence. 1t this
purpose was in its nature a mistake
that was crime, why did not the DEM
ocrats at home hold meetings to pro-
test against it? Why did not Demo-
cratic journals denounce such mis-
take if it was crimep So of all the
so-called mistakes. They were the re-
suit of caucus consultation, where it is
supposed that the wisdom and the pa
triotism of the party could control the
counsels and shape the party action,
and as such were approved by the en-
tire party outside.
We fear that the discovery that these
mistakes are crimes comes too late.
Had the Democrats carried any State in
the North thus far, no Democrat would
have discovered that the plans and
plots of the Democrats in Congress
were mistakes or crimes. They be-
come mistakes because they have
proved damaging to Democratic prof.
ects. They are crimes to those who
now lament them in the sense that they
have resulted disastrously to the Demo-
cratic party in the North. They are,
moreover, crimes in which every Dem
ocratic convention in the North shares
the responsibility, since every one,
even to General Buffers Democratic
convention, which reaffirmed in its
platform the time-honored principles
of the Democratic party, and in the
speech of its presiding officer the ac-
tion of the Democratic Congress en-
dorsed them. These " mistakes" have
become the principles of the Democrat
ic party. If they are ttcrimes," as in
dignant Democrats declare them to be,
then the Democratic policy is combi-
nation of crimes.-BoStoa Journal.
