MISSING.

Missing, no more; dumb, dead wall
OF silence and darkness stands
Between us and they who left ug here,
In the golden morning of the year,
With hope and promise and parting cheer,
Wet eyes and waving hands.
Never omen told our hearts
How fate lurked dim and dark;
Fresh and sweet smiled the April day.
And the trecherous waves in sunlight lay
kissing the sands of the sheltering bay,
And laughing round tho bark.
Like molten silver shone her sails,
As she glided from our gaze;
And we turned us back to our homes again,
To let custom grow DER theyearning pain,
And to count by the hearth-ah, labor vain!-
The lonely, lingering days.
Never letter from loving hands,
Never message came;
We knew long since shonld the port be won
We knew what the fierce north gales had
done;
A terror we would not name.
All, me! those weary mornings,
When out on the great pier-head
we strained o'lr sight DER the tossing seas,
And studied each change in the fitfui breeze
And strove to answer, in tones of ease,
Light question coldly said
All, me! those weary midnights,
Hearing the breakers roar;
Starting from dreams of storm and death,
With heating pulsesand catching brc ath,
To hear the white surf "call" beneath -
Along the hollow shore
Never flash down the wires, s s.e.5.
Never word from the East
From the port she sailed for-how long ago!
Why even spar one would weep to know,
Tossed on the wild waves ebb and flow. !
Were something real at last
Missing, missing, and silence. ......... .
The great tides rise and fall;
The sea lies dimpling out in the light.
Or dances, all living cleaning white;
Day follows day, night rolls on night;
Missing and that is all
The bark crossed out in the log book,
The names dropped out of the prayers;
In many household vacant place;
In many q life a vanished grace.
We know our cost in the long life race,
But only God knows theirs

TROY Times: 1t has been denied that
California was carried for the Democrats by
the Morey Chinese letter-the Democrats
apparently being ashamed to have it appear
that forgery, designed to affect the Pacific
States especially, could have accomplished
just what it was intended it should do. A
private letter to the Times from one of the
most intelligent men in the State, whose
opportunities for knowing the effect of the
letter enable him to speak with knowledge
on the subject, says: ''We lost California
by the Morey letter. At least 1000 Repub-
licans were induced to vote for Hancock by
that infamous crime" This, of course, is
shameful; but is it any worse than the man
ner in which South Carolina and other
Southern States were carried by the Hamp-
ton-Butler- Ku-Klux tactics?

Treatment of the Indians.

Some of the leading and most respected
citizens of Portland have united in call for
a meeting in this city to consider the griev-
ance done to the Ponca Indians and the prop
er remedy to be applied to the correction of
that particular wrong. Miss La Fleche, a
daughter of the injured tribe, has been
asked to speak to our people.
That the Poncas have been most unjust
ly used will be acknowledged by all people
conversant with their recent history. But
their story is the old and shameful story of
the treatment of the Indian by the white
settler and conqueror. We have done by
them as we have done by all their race. The
injury inflicted upon them seems the most
grievons merely because il is the most re-
cent. We have not had time to forget it.
The Ponca question is but small part of
the Indian question, and now, while the
sympathy of the people is quickened by the
hurt done to this particular tribe, is the
right and polite time to consider and dis
cuss the treatment pursued by us toward the
aborigines, and to suggest a radical change in
our Indian policy. The subject is one that
is enlisting the attention of our philanthropy
lists, and they are finding their voices all
over'the country. At its meeting in Boston
last week the New England Historical and
Genealogical Society was favored with an
address on the Indian question by Mr.. Day-
i'd G. Haskins, Jr., a gentleman who has
evidently thoroughly studied the question
and who has the gift of presenting the re-
suits OF his study and thought in finished,
attractive and scholarly way. His essay is
the most thorough, intelligent and enter
tanning exposition of the subject that has
fallen under our observation, and we wish
it could be given in Portland. 1t is proba-
bly, too late to engage Mr.. Haskins for the
Sunday meeting, and perhaps we could not
have him at any time. But he is worth
making an effort for. The Indian question
is one of serious and immediate import: it
is one with which most of us have imper-
feet acquaintance; and one of which we
ought to know much. This agitation of the
Ponca grievance has quickened mems sensi-
bilities and excited their sympathies; and
this is the time to discuss the whole ques-
tim of the relation of the Indian tribes to
the United States government, to undo, as
far as practicable, the wreng already done,
and to guard against the doing of further
injury to those we call our wards but treat
as our slaves

IN BOYS CLOTHING,

The same fancy cassimeres in mild tones prevail,
az IN mems goods. The overcoat for boys is also
tne ulSterette, or long overcoat with
put the belt, made up in one or two variations of
,tyle and given fancy name and in some in
stances, cut to fit the FORM giving far more hand
some appearance than the old ulster with its strap
This strap has been omitted almost altogether and
1t was never of any earthly use except for another
boy to catch hold of. The kits are still very popu-
lar for the little dots of from to years. and they
are very pretty generally in fancy cassimeres They
are cut either single or double breasted and fn sh
ed with two rows of buttons. They are either cut
away or full fronts, 80 to show the underskirts
The underskirt is made of woollen goods generally
plated around the bottom while the waist or part
which comes under the kilt, is made of cotton. The
little wooen kilt coat with sleeves goes on over
this skirt and gives the appearance of little coat
IN @ tne back, with plated shirt below. The pre-
vang overcoat for the little dot is straight sack
cut very long and made of SOFT lght-colored goods
The prices Of the little kits range from So to So
and OF the little oversacks from 81 to S12 The
prevailing suit for the little boy of from to 10
years Is the surtout, or two garments made togeth
er, giving the appearance of little coat and
breeches. Then over this, for cold weather, is
worn the double-faced oyercoat or usterette.

A STYLISH BUSINESS SUIT,

dandy is complete. The single-breasted sacks are
also much in vogue this fall, made in the same
goods as the four button cutaway. Of course the
ordinary plain frocks and sacks, made from plain,
diagonal and basket-woven worsteds, are still in
vogue, and will be for long time to come but those
who seek after new styles must be accommodated.

A few years ago, when the ready made clothing
trade was In its infancy and shoddy and ma
chine sewing newly invented, the ready-made gar
ments come into bad repute on account of the Vii
famous materials used and the bad quality of the
manufacture of ready-made garments were cotton
warps filled with the grindings from worn-out wool
en- rags, and the making of the garments was done
upon the miserable first inventions of one thread
sewing machines. No wonder that the public be-
came suspicious of anything bearing the name of
ready-made, and for time the merchant tailors
had things all their own way again. But this is all
changed to a very great extent The quality of the
goods used in ready-made clothing has been greatly
improved, and the sewing and other workmanship
have kept pace NTH the march of improvements
the world over. An oyercoat which costs S25 or
$50 from the counters of the clothing houses would
cost from $40 to $40, if made to measure by the
merchant taors. 1t is not intended in this state
ment to attempt to maintain that all ready made
garments are equal to the work of custom tailors
only that there have been great improvements in
the making, trimming and findings Of ready-mads
clothing within the past eight ten years, till at
the present time the garments produced are in
every way worth the money paid for them.
