THE NATIONS WARDS,

Paradoxical as 1t may seem the colored
people of the South are at one and the same
time the most grateful and ungrateful of hui
man beings. This may be illustrated by a
comparison Of their past and present status
In the community. Forced suddenly into
prominence, like garden weed transplanted
In a hot-bed. they would seem to have lost
many of their old commendable habits, and
are found too often initiating the most vicious
habits of the white race. Thus, unfortunately,
their progress. socially and morally, has been
greatly retarded and cfrcumscribed since their
emancipation, although there may be found
exceptional cases. Under the ante bellum
system, or regime, although their intellectual
faculties may not have had 80 fair an oppor-
tunity for development and Improvement the
more brutal instincts OF their natures were
kept In subsection, and so while 1t might
be said that their onward progress was
slow, they were certainly not allowed
to retrograde In social or moral sense. The
sudden change In their condition has been
more remarkable among those of middle age
than among the very young or very old.
When the war which resulted In their emau-
cipation was brought to a close, the old men
and women manifested little inclination to
quit their homes of lifetimes and begin a
new career, and those who did try the expert
ment In nine instances out of ten soon became
discouraged and were glad enough to get
back again. And SO 1t was with the young
ones, as general thing. Having experienced
but little of the hardships and restraints
of bondage, they were scarcely capable of
realizing that any important change In their
lives had been brought about by the civil
war. With the middle aged, however. 1t was
quite different. ALI at once they we're
made conscious that they were in fact
as we'll as In name ''freed men,"
and as the specially adopted wards OF the
nation we're entitled to no small amount of
consideration at the hands CT their white
brethren. Pictures of ease and elegance

TO THE PUBLIC.

We. the teachers OF the Public Schools Of New
Orleans. desire to tender our heartfelt thanks
to the honorable Senators and Representatives
of the General Assembly for the interest mani
tested by them In the bill providing for the
funding of our school certificates.
Though our visits to the legislative halls and
committee rooms were frequent and perhaps
tmportunate. we were always eourteously and
kindly received. and encouraged to hope for
the successful result which our efforts finally
attained.
To the members. and especially the chair
men Of the Senate and House Committees on
Education. we feel particularly indebted. and
we trust that kind Providence will assume
the payment Of our debt of gratitude by the
bestowal Of Its choicest blessings upon our
benefactors and those dependent upon Them

The Fourth OF July.

In Philadelphia an estimate was
made of the accidents and injuries re-
sulting from the use of fre-crackers,
pistols, etc., on the last July 4th, and
the results were as follows:
Killed by the discharge of cannon,
guns and pistols, ten seriously
wounded, thirty; amputations of arm
or leg from injuries received, six;
killed by fires resulting from fire-crack-
ers, etc., four; slightly injured, one
hundred and four; houses burned, five.
This list of casualties was nearly
doubled in New York. In both cities
heavy showers put an end to the re-
joicing early in the afternoon, and in
Philadelphia shooting of crackers or
pistols was prohibited by law, or the
number of deaths and accidents would
have been much larger. ...V
1t is quite time that our boys and
young men asked themselves seriously
concerning this matter, ''Does it pay?'
Is the delight of making noise-a
taste which we share with the macaw
and the ape-enough to compensate
for this annual slaughter of life and
happiness all over the countryp Is
there no more rational way of cele-
brating the National birthday? .s.l
A city clergyman, before the last
Fourth of July, proposed to the chill
dren of his parish to form an Anti
Powder Association. The money which
they would have spent on crackers,
powder, pin-wheels. etc., was put in
common fund, and an excursion or
ganized to the seashore, to which each
contributor had the right to invite one
poor little child chosen by himself.
The day was a happy, merry one; as
happy for the children who gave the
unwonted pleasure to the forlorn little
waits, as to those who received it. In.
stead of death and suffering, the holt
day brought breath of life and health,
and the enjoyment of Heavenly charity
to them all. ..+....

day, it is because grown people neglect

The AraucanO Indians-Ch Native
Foe.

THE Araucano Indians occupy the
southeasterly portion of the CHILEAN ter
ritory, bordering the Andes. They have
never been conquered, and continual
skirmishes take place between them and
the CHILEAN troops on the line, where
there has never been peace since Chill
became free from Spanish rule. A line
of forts, garrisoned, is maintained on
the borders, and every few years the
line is suddenly advanced into the in
terror, driving the Araucano back and
taking possession of his lands. This
advance is followed up by settlers, who
purchase large haciendas of the Govern
ment. So far, the acquired possessions
have proved excellent for agriculture
and grazing purposes. Some of them
are covered with fine forest trees, but
no mines or minerals of importance have
been discovered, and nothing seems to
verify the reports of wonderful gold
and silver deposits. The Indians have
resisted all efforts to civilize them, and
the Catholic Church has failed to subdue
their stubborn will or establish church
and missionaries among them. Upon
one occasion a young prisoner was
taught Latin, educated by the Church,
and made a curate. He eventually
asked permission, and obtained it, to
visit his people, but failed to return
Some years afterward he was again
taken prisoner, fighting bravely with his
people. Being recognized, he was once
more placed in the hands of the priests.
He lived but little over year after his
second capture, and died pining for his
home and of broken heart. 1t is as
serted that they worship the sun, and
believe in evil spirits, somewhat after
the manner of worship of the old Incas.
So little is known of the Araucano
Indians and their customs that but one
attempt has been made to publish an
account of them, and it has since been
found out that the work was full of err
rors and misrepresentation But very
slight information can be obtained of
their history, and they are very reticent
regarding their own customs, mode OF
living and religion. They purposely
mislead one when questioned, and no
two of them agree in their accounts.
They rarely admit strangers into their
territories, though occasionally trader

treat him with open hospitality; but,
upon the least suspicious or want of
confidence, the traders goods are stolen
and his life sacrificed to savage cruel
ties. Of course, few like to run these
risks even for money. The men are
well-built, strong and healthy, of ave-
rage height, brave, of cruel dispositions
and treacherous; their compilations of a
copper color. The women are small,
and with ugly, coarse features and large
mouths. Both sexes have coarse black
hair and beautiful white teeth. It is
said that one tribe exists of lighter COM
plexion and lighter hair, the tradition
being that they are descendants of a
long since German colony; but this is
doubtful, as no traces are left of the Ian
guage or customs of such predecessors.
