Northern Indians Restless.
CHEYENNE, w. T., April A.
The latest news from the Powder
River and Big Horn country is of a
somewhat interesting character.
1t coufirms all previons reports and
runrors relative to the restless and
questionable condition of the In
dians upon the northern frontier.
Messrs. M. and r. Frewen arrived
here yesterday direct from the Big
Horu mountains and Powder River
valley. They have been up there
three or four months, locating and
building ranches. They have thor.
oughly secuted and hunted over the
Big Horn, Powder River and Vel.
low Stone region, and having come
in direct from that country, their
report Is worth more than the or.
dinary half breed runners or the
teamster's statements. They have
concluded to delay moving their
cattle into that section for an
other year, and give to the
daily Sun of tomorrow morn
Ing the following statement: "We
have had six weeks hunt In the
Big Horn country, and while we
found deer, bear, antelope and buff
falo In swarms, we also found num-
erous large Indian trails, all of
them fresh, and all tending towards
the Powder River country. We
conversed with Frank Groward,
the well-known scout who led the
Crook campaign, and he expressed
his opinion unreservedly that a
general Indian war would break
out this season. He, as well as
other experienced frontiersmen in
and about the forts on the Powder
river aud the Yello wstone and their
tributaries, advised us to keep our
herds away until the coming trou-
bles were over. Groward, who has
just returned from scout north
ward, reports that the Arrapahoe
Indians are moving from their
camps in Western Wyoming,
and are going towards
Sitting Bulls villages, which are
moving southwark. The hostile
Indians will make the Big Horn
mountains their rendezvous this
season, and make the Wolf noun
tains and the Tongue river valley
their main hunting ground.

The Colorado Desert.

The Colorado Desert may be properly
termed the Sahara of the Pacific coast.
Upon clear, full moonlight night the trav-
eller may form some idea OF the sterility and
loneliness of this Pacific Sahara You are
in the midst of an ocean of fine white sand;
not an elevation, hardly, nor a decline Of
the feeblest nature, presents itself; the
mosquito, the meschal and cacti have en-
tirely disappeared and net bush or blade
of grass remains; no living thing, not even
a bird or an insect is to be seen. A death
like stiffness seems to pervade the scene,
and an awful unbroken quiet prevails. In
this particular locality, it is said, rain never
descends 70 dews ever fall-no delicious
exhalations of the evening ever touch the
fevered face Of nature, which diurnally quiv-
ers under the scorching rays Of the fiery
monarch of light. 1t is true that passing
cloud, over freighted with moisture, some-
times bursts, or is dashed by driving wind
against some mountain top, and is made to
discharge its voluminous contents with dis
| tinctive force all over the desert; but the
| blazing orb quickly transforms such vista
| tions into the merest evidences OF perspira-
ton, and the whole surface soon after as
sumes its natural state Ut incansdescence.

WHAT

What does the bird born in gi'ded cage
Know OF the wild. sweet freedom OF the air
Outside-the madd'ning thrill of boundless space,
Bound only by the heavens, blue and fair.
What does the child, whose life has never passed
Beyond the inland, narrow, small, unfree,
Know OF the grand, calm. passionate, wild soul
That throbs in every movement of the sea?
What does the man born blind, and deaf and dumb
Know OF the sweet, strange secrets ofthe earth !?
What do the mountains. standing stern and grim
Know Of the rapturous mystery Of birth?
What does the woman, whose SOFT silent lips,
Have ne'er been pressed by kisses sweet as pain
And sad as 1oy-what knows she OF love
That all the storms OF Time hath never slain?

DAYS THAT ARE NO MORE.


Tears. idle tears. know not what they mean,
Tears from the depth OF some divine despair
Rise in the heart. and gather in the eyes,
In looking on the happy autumn fields
And thinking Of the days that are no more.
Fresh as the first beam glittering on a sail
That brings our friends up from the under world
Sad as the last which reddens over one
That sinks with all we love below the verge;
So sad, so fresh, the days that are no more
All. sad and strange as in dark summer dawns
The earliest pipe OF half-awakened birds
10 dying ears. when unto dying eyes
The easement slowly grows a glimmering square;
so sad, SO strange, the days that are no more.
Dear as remembered kisses after death,
And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feigned
on lips that are for others; deep as love-
Deep as first love, and wild as all regret;
on death in life! the days that are no more.

The Indians and their Dead.

A girl about twelve years old had died,
and her relatives had appointed that even
ing as the beginning of her funeral. After
death takes place in an Indian village, the
weeping and wailing takes place immedia-
tely, and continues among the relatives in
the widest and most demonstrative manner
for many days. The evening before it had
reached its highest pitch the family of the
dead girl had given away everything they
had possessed, and were then engaged in
pulling down the very lodge that sheltered
them, and cutting the buffalo robes that
composed its sides into small pieces, while
the mother Of the girl had chopped off some
Of her fingers with a bntcher-knife, and was
being pounded by sympathizing friends to
keep from fainting.
All had their faces painted black and were
moaning as only a grief-stricken Indian can.
The woods and fantastic lodges and weird
faces of the Indians, lit up as they were by
the Pickering glare of large camp fire,
formed picture at once grotesque and
startling. When our party visited the camp
in the morning the girls family. weak from
hunger and loss of sleep, were still keeping
up the barbarous wake, although the corpse
had been placed upon its burial platform in
some secluded spot on the prairie, where 1t
is to be hoped the wild flowers and birds
will watch over it evermore.
Riding out from the dozen or so tepees
that comprised the village, Mr.. Hoys and
myself made short cut across curve in
the trail and discovered dead Indian on
platform of stakes, about ten feet above the
prairie. At first, like all whites out here,
we set out with the determinations to take
what trophies might be on the rack. but
upon reading the prayers OF his friends
written in English and pinned to ore OF the
stakes that he might not be disturbed, as
Yellowface, the dead man. had always
helped the white maa and was friend CT
all who passed that way, we left the grave
undisturbed. The Indian had been only
there since April, and had his gun, toma'
hawk, knife and beaded ornaments all upon
his person.-Montana Correspondence.

Anecdote Of Webster.

LAWYERS some time resort to questionable
methods in order to destroy the effect which
the testimony of truthful anG intelligent
witness has upon jury. We Webster once
tried, in an ungalant way, to break down a
woma,n's evidence, and he met more than
his match. 1t was in the somewhat famous
case Of Mrs. Bogden's will, which was tried
in the Supreme Court. Mr.. Webster ap-
peared as counsellor for the appellant.
Mrs.. Greenough, wife of Rev. William
Gree nouoh, late of West Newton, tall,
strai ght, queeniy looking woman, with a
kerr black eye, woman Oh great self-pos-
sess ion and decision of character, was called
to + he stand, witness on the opposite side
fro m Mr.. Webster.
Webster, at glance, had the sagacity to
TO fesee that her testimony, if it contained
anything of Importance, would have great
weight with the Court and jury. Hs' there
fore, resolved, if possible, to break her
down. And when she answered to the first
question put to her, 81 believe" Webster
roared out: eve don't want to hear what
Won believe. we want to hear what you

Mrs. Greenougr replied, ''That is just
what I was about to say, sir" and went or
with her testimony.

disconcert her, she pursued the even teno

of the result, arose, apparently in great ag

Then extracting fron, his pocket a yer.

Good Sound Sense.

Principal Thurber. OF the Worcester High
School, wisely advocated before the Massa-
chusetts teachers, the other day, the abeli-
ton of the public displays of a sceEic char
acter, which are by old custom now used to
give a certain splendor to the close OF the
school year, and which do not grow natural
ly out OF the work that has been done dur.
gruous and unassimilable addition to the
course. Thus, he added, will be cleared
away one obstacle to the incubation of that
sturdy morality whose soul is noble, ele-
waited motive. Abolish, too, all these public
displays that are usually justified by the
assumption that it is well to give boys and
girls confidence before public audiences. Re-
duce the impediments to genuine teaching
to the smallest possible amount by thus
pruning away things that have no concern
with education proper, and then apply Wig
orously the moral element Of thorough, un-
flinching honesty in all the lesson work.
Do not give the diploma unless the state
ment which it makes is strictly true, and
that without any stretching OF the meaning
OF terms. Give this diploma without pa
rade, so that it LAY go for what it is worth,
and not have an eXtrinsic attraction added
to it by dress ceremonial. To young minds
all things are significant: You cannot make
dress occasion for them when they take
their diplomas without conveying some alb
surd, uniustifable notion. Nor can any
speech fraught with most excellent counsels
and delivered by the most eloquent speech
makers, have any impressiveness as coz
gentional part Of such ceremonial. That
so many people have contemptuous opin-
ion of our public high schools as being SUI
perficial and tawdry in their methods and
aims is quite intelligible when we consider
how general the custom Is Of counting pub.
lie regard in these schools by means of ex-
| bibitions..oi one sort or another that not on
| ly do not further the legitimate objects OF
the schools, but evidently must hinder it
and faint it with coneeit.
