iCasttlian Days.l
The Spanish father is absolute king
and lord by his own hearthstone. but his
sway is SO mild that it is hardly felt. A
light word between husband and wife
sometimes goes unexplained, and the
rift between them widens through life.
They cannot be divorced-they will not
incur the scandal Of a public separation
and, as they pass lives of lonely isola-
ton in adjoining apartments, both think
rather better of each other and Of them
selves for this devilish persistence.
Ii men are never henpecked except by
learned wives, Spain would be the place
Of all Others for timid men to marry in.
The girls are bright and yivaeious, but
they have never crossed, even in school
day excursion, the border lines Of the
ologies. They have an old proyerb which
coarsely conveys this idea-that GA
Christian woman in good society ought
not to know anything beyond her cookery
book and her missal."
An ordinary Spaniard is sick but once
in his life, and the old traditions which
represent the doctor and death as always
hunting in couples still survive in Spain.
III All WClI-tU-uu IHlllileS the house OF
death is always deserted Immediately
the funeral and the stricken ones
and pass eight days in fnyiolable
seclusion. Children are buried in collins
Of o gray color, pink or blue, and carried
open to the grave.
"A luxury of grief consists in shutting
up the house where a death has taken
place and never suffering it to be opened
again. l once saw i beautiful house
and wide garden thus abandoned in one
Of the most fashionable streets Of Madrid.
The wife of q certain Duke had died
there many years before. The Duke
lived in Paris, leading q r~attling life,
put he would never sell or "lptH that
home. Perhaps in his heart,
hat battered thoroughfare, there was 4
Iilent spot where, through the gloom Of
lead days, he could catch d glimpse Of 4
white hand the rustic of d trailing robe.
md feel sweeping over him the magic OF
owes dream, softenng his fancy to
regret.

Buffalo Bill's Views.
Toledo Commercially

[IOledo Commercial
Born upon the Western prairies. and
reared amid wild scenes Of tumu1t, his
father murdered in their early DAYS
when Kansas, with the struggle of a
young giant, was shaking off the yoke of
African slavery, a trained Indian fighter,
taking his first scalp at the age of
twelve, and having served his young
State in earliest manhood as q trusted
and hOnored member of the Legislature.
it is propable that Wm. T. Cody is as
well acquainted with all that pertains
to the West as any other living man.
What are your ideas on the Indian
problem, Mr.. Cody? In other words,
what would you do to secure a better
and more economical management of
the Indian tribes by the government
Il think / can sum up my policy in a
single sentence. 1t is this: Never make
a single promise to the Indians that is
not fulfilled. Agents promise too much.
Men Of calm, prudent determination
must be sent among the Indians as
agents. Those who are sent, often know
nothing of the Indian character. and
either through fear, ignorance or dis
honesty are led into making promises
which the government cannot or will
not fulfill. Every Indian outbreak that
l ave ever known has resulted from
broken promises and broken treaties by
the government"
What do you think of the peace
policy or the policy of encouraging agri-
cultural pursuits by the Indians, Mr..
CodyT'
ut has already resulted in good and
will result in still greater good if hon
estly and in~telligently pursued. You
cannot make an Indian work by stand
ing over him with a shotgun. He must
be taught that it is to his interest TO do
so, and brought into it by degrees. Too
much cannot be accomplished all at
once. But if a wise, firm policy Is pur-
sued the Indians will gradually drift into
agricultural pursuits
Speaking Of the recent outbreak Of the
Utes, Mr.. Cody said he thought the In
dams were badly treated. He knew
that for years, miners, contrary to
treaty, had been settling upon their
lands. The Utes had protested and the
government paid no attention to them.
and they had finally taken the matter
into their own hands. Mr.. Cody had
been with the Fifth Cavalry for six
years, and he was consequently well ac-
quainted with the Utes. He had taken
first scalp to ayenge the Custer mas
On the same day he also killed
Red Knife.
Mr.. Cody was at Cincinnati when he
heard Of the Ute outbreak. He at once
vent to work to secure some person to
lake his part as " Buffalo Bilf" in his
play, and te%legraphed to Sheridan that
was at his service, and he will no
loubt be ordered to the West should the
,rouble continue. Mr.. Cody saws he has
10 fancy for Indian fighting, but as that
las been his lifelong profession he sun
,oses he an do it as well as any other
nan, and if be is needed he is DESTROYS
f giving to the government the best
he can. He deeply s~ympathizes "a
With the Indians, but Notwithstanding
their wrongs, he knows. that thew
must give way TO the whites.

The Right Sort Of Men.

Ulhe bElilsh quarterly
You viii find, as q rule, that the men
who are favorites with men are the best
and truest in their relations to women.
Yes, the men who like sometimes to
turn their backs on all women, and go
off " with the other fellows, - and have a
good, boyish time on the water, or the
mountain, or in some other mans " den"
Women never need be afraid to trust
their happiness to those whom other
good men esteem good fellows; but if a
man is avoided by men, however much
women admire him, shnn him. II is he
who has tiirtations thatcome to nothing,
and has mot been very nice" to the
girls who have broken their engagements
with him; who, when he marries, wrings
his wife's heart, il she has one, and
spoils her temper If she is naturally an
angel. Manly men are the best lovers,
the best husbands, the best companiOns
for women, just as womenly women are
the best s~weethearts and wives. What
do we think of women who shun their
own sex, however charming men may
find them2 1t is seldom, il ever that
your mems favorite ilLuses his wife.
Perhaps it may be explained in this
way-friendshfp Of a sublimated sort is
what love becomes after a year or so of
marriage, and he who is friendly to the
very depths Of his soul enters into this
state happily, and is ready for all the
delights that follow. But a man who is
capable Of nothing but that tieetingaf-
lection which ever pursues a new object,
and cares for no woman when she is
won, hates the domestic ties and becomes
detestable in consequence. 1t is the
who would die for his friend, and
for whom his friend would die, who
makes a tremendously happy wife Of the
woman to whom he scarcely knew how
70 make love when he courted her.

Tho AykrnsidB relates q horrible story;
Mr.. Jesse Cole left home with his tenn,
hauling rock. Mrs. Cole sent Tommie,
the eldest boy (who is small for his age,
to feed a bitch tied under the BANK.
When Tommio arrived where the slut
was tied, they found their dog lying be.
side her. The dog growled at him, and
he not suspecting danger, picked up a
little stone and cast it at the dog TO
drive him away, when the dogtsprang
upon him and threw him to the ground.
The dog was large and powerful, and in
his fury beganteariltg him in a frightful
manner. The cries of Tommie brought
his mother and Willic-ih fact, all the
childrcn-whcn they did all they could
to pull the dog off. Finally Willie
struck him with 4 stick, when he let go
of Tommie and sprang on Willie, press
ing him to the ground Mrs,sCole and
ali the children fought desperately, but
could do nothing until the dog got salts
fed aird skunk away with his mouth
dripping with the blood and flesh of the
two boys. Toulmie's right arm was lit
orally torn to pieces, and both bones of
the fore arm broken, and the little finger
of the left hand torn of, aud bitten,
bruised and mangIcd generally. Willie
left arm was mangled frightfulIy and
the flesh torn away.
