in costumes fresh from the isle of
the Sea- Mother Hubbard flourish
ed under an immense area of bonnet,
and her dog, contrary to her remark
that he looked very thin, was quite
the opposite. Let it suffice to say,
as from the number Of performances
we have not space to notice all, that
the whole affair vas credit to those
who originated and personated it.

THE INDIAN HuMRuG.

What could appear more nonsensical
10 a western frontiersman than the views
expressed IN the following telegram from
Washingtong
The question as to what should be
done with the Ute Indians concerned in
the massacre at the White River Agency
in case they should he surrendered TO the
United States authorities, has been dis
cussed in the cabinet, and statement
made by Secretary SchurZ, who has care
fully studied the law, that the state could
have no jurisdiction in the premises, for
the reason that the crimes with which The
Indians are charged were committed
within the boundaries of the Indian res
ervation. and the federal courts could
have no jurisdiction, for the reason that
the law did not authorize it, Ii is very
doubtful whether the Indians could be
properly tried by military court, as the
crimes were not committed against the
federal forces or federal authorities.
The question will possibly go to the
attorney general for n final decision.
The opinion is expressed that congress
will be asked to so amend the laws con-
corning our dealings with the Indians as
to give the state and federal courts pow
er for the trial and punishment of all
cases of Indian murders, thefts, etc

LAUGHTER.
1t Is the Language of the Cruel.

1t Is the Language OF the cruel
The world grows more tender hearted
as 1t grows older. If we examine the
sports that have amused our ancestors,
we find them more and more cruel as we
go backward into history. Even the
gladiatorial shows were not so cruel as
some of the butcheries of prisoners that
amused the preceding generations. The
bear-baitings and bull fights of a latter
age were less cruel than the arena. Prize
fights that amused our grandfatheTs dis
gust the men of to-day. The world got
too tender-hearted to laugh at a wounded
gladiator; afterwards too gentle TO enjoy
the wounded bulls, or bears, or badgers.
Refined people turned their backs upon
such eruclties and handed them over
To the vulgar and brutal. Go 10 dog
fight today and mark the kind Of men
you see there, and you will know
what your ancestors were at heart,
however they may have hidden their
cruel natures under courteous MARINERS,
ElizabctIl's age Shakespeare's - was
a cruel though heroic one. as may be
seen in his plays written 10 please the
age-to hold the mirror up TO itlud show
its form and pressure. Shylock was
made To he laughed NJ. II was formerly
PLAYED by the low comedian IN "a red
wig. The sdsferitlgs of tsse hebrews in
that age inspired mirth. The language
of Shylock that we find 50 touching used
To be mirth-provoking. Imagination
and sympathetic insight are sad and ser
ious. They find sad, sweet poetry, where
the frivolous find only food for laughter.
Laughter is nearly always cruel; some
body w1ithes while the rest are merry.
Examine even what is called the @inno-
cent laa glIterts of child, and you find il
the germ of cruelty. The wit and the
butt goes together, and the butt feels
the keen thrIIsts of his enemy none the
less because he snliles-because all smile.
If We turn our eyes inward on our
laughter aud its SOURCES, we shall find in
most eases that il is either a sudden dis
covery of our own superior OF happier
position, or else the discovery OF one
weakness, folly or failure of some one
else, which makes pleasant contrast
for us When We think Of that thing we
