ACCORDING to the Detroit Free Press,
a young man who has long boarded with
Congress street landlady was asked to
step into the parlor for q private inter-
view, and when the old lady had him
cornered, she began:
"Mr. Blank, you have boarded with
me for q long time, and never before
have 1 had occasion to find word of
fault"
"Fault to find of me2 Why, what have
I done?"
swell, every night for an hour after
you come in and every morning for an
hour before breakfast we all hear you
tramping around and talking about war
and liberty and death and so on, and
some of my brothers fear that you have

"Qhl ] can explain all that, he cheer
fully replied. "I am to deliver Fourth
of July Grafton out here in a country
town, and 1 am getting my speech ready. +"
SIS It necessary that you should de-
liver this speech2"
"Why, no; but I consider it great
honor to be invited to SPEAK.
'I-I wish you'd give it up" she falt-
cred.
'sBut for what reason2 I'm afraid You
don't understand me-"
"Oh, yes dol know all about it
Last year seven of the young men in
my house went out to deliver Fourth of
July orations, and at 2 o'clock in the
morning all were lying dead drunk on
the hall floor. OF course l love liberty,

BILL NYE'S EXPERIENCE.

l went down to see them. They were
1 ever saw. They wore buckskin pants
with overskirt of same and the hair was
worn Princess, held in place with Fra
zers axle grease and large mother-of-
clam shell brooch. Down the back is
plated like horses tail on a muddy day,
only the hair was coarser.
When an Indian wants to comb his
hair he has to run it through rolling
mill first to make it malleable. Then the
blacksmith of the tribe rolls it mp over
the ordinary freight car coupling pin
and OH the following morning it hang
in graceful Saratoga waves down th,
back of the untutored savage.
l said to the interpreter who seemed to
act as their trainer. "No doubt these
Crows are going to Washington to try
and interest Hayes in their Caws. y
He gave d low, gurgling laugh.
''No" said he with merry twinkle of
the eye, as he laid his lip half way across
plug of government tobacco. "as sum-
mer approaches they have decided to go
to Washington and ransack the Indian
bureau for their gauzy Schurz.'
l caught hold of a car seat and rippled
till the coach rang with my mirthful
silvery laughter.
These Indians wear high expressive
cheek bones and most of them have stra-
bismus in their feet. They have on
paint. 1t makes them look like chro-
mo OF Powhattan MASKING the eternal
soul out of John Smith with q bologna
sausage.
One of these chiefs, named Raw-Dog-
with -a-Bunion- -the-heel, I think,
chief of the wall eyed Skunk Eaters,
looked so guileless and kind that ap-
preached him and said that no doubt the
war path in the land of the setting sun
was overgrown with grass and in his
mountain home very likely the beams of
peace lit up the face of the tribe.
He did not catch my meaning.
L asked him if his delegation was 60
ing to Washington uninstrueted.
In reply, he made a short remark
something like that which the short stop
of match game makes when hot ball
takes him unexpectedly between the gas
trio and the liver pad.
Somehow live Indians do not look so
picturesque as the steel engraving does,
The smell is not the same either. Steel
engravings of Indians do not show the
delicate outline of a frying pan on the
buckskin pants where the noble red man
made misstep one morning and sat
down to his breakfast.
i dead Indian is q pleasing picture,
the look of pain and anxiety is gone, and
rest, sweet, sweet rest-more than he
really needs, has come at last. His hands
are folded peacefully and his mouth is
open, like the end of a saw-mill. His
trials are DER. His swift foe is making
pigeon-toed tracks in the shifting sands
of eternity.
The picture of wild free Indian chas-
ing the buffalo may suit some but / like
still life in art. like the picture of a
broad shouldered, well formed brave as
he lies with his nerveless hand across q
large hole in the pit of his stomach

No Probability for a COurt-MaP-
tiaI for sherman.

Special to the Courier-Journal,
WASHINGTON, January 30.--It is
the general opinion here that General
Sherman made a mistake in SANDER
ing Boynton, correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette. Boynton's repu-
tatiOn for integrity is so we'll estab-
lished hat all his enemies never at
tackled him on hat point. Every one
thinks that Sherman, in the blind
rage which has lasted since Boynton's
attack on his Memoirs" said more
than be believed. 1t is doubtful if
Boynton's request TO the secretary of
war and President for a court-martial
to try Sherman for conduct unbecom-
ing an officer will be granted. If not,
BOyntOn will no doubt sue for dam
ages.

The total value Of merchandise i'm
ported during the year 1879 was
eighty-two millions more than in 1873
the figures being: For 1873, S43l..
8l7 ,4S3; 1879, $513, $50, 016. This in
crease has mainly been since the tide
of prosperity turned, six months ago.
The total exports Of 1873 were $737,-
072,O73; of 1879, $765, 1896. The
increase was much greater in imports
than in exports. If we keep on this
way the balance of trade will be against
us before the end of 1880. The i'm
portation of gold has already ceased.
New York city during the month Of
January imported at the rate of a
million dollars a day, and exported at
the rate of one-third of a million a
day. The Chicago Tribune ciphers
out the course Of the remarkable in
crease Of exports in this way
The home manufacturers have
marked up the price of their fabrics
and wares so high within the past six
or eight months that it has become
cheaper to import goods from abroad
and pay cost OF transportation and the
enormous duties, than to buy the
domestic products at the fancy and
exorbitant prices the manufacturers
have put upon their goods. Before
long there will be a "smash" unless
they mark them down again to some
decent price. They are letting the
home market slip out Of their fingers
by ~reasonof their greed. All branches
OF the iron business have gone per.
iectly crazy in the prices they are
charging the consumers. This sort of
booming" will shortly play out, and
the sooner the better.

of that they have received, so that
they shall get no more than they have
actually contributed. Our building
societies are similar to the Shaking
clubs, except that interest is charged
on the amounts advanced, which in
terest, being divided between all the
members, shortens the time required
for payments, and except that the
payment of premiums, as a measure Of
the necessities of members, takes the
place of the chance involved in dice
throwing. In the absence of better
things, even a Chinese Shaking Club,
if it could be as honestly conducted
here as in China, would be a very good
kind Of saving fund and mutual aid
association.

SHOCKING
A Philadelphia Rough who Feeds
His Daughters ON Stray
DOgmeat.

PHILADELPHIA, February l. Chris.
Schaeffer was sent to Jail yesterday
afternoon for almost starving his two
children. The story came out through
the attempt of Josephine Christian,
aged fourteen years. to end her life by
jumping into the Delaware river. She
was rescued by a passing boat. Schaef-
fer is a misery repulsive man of
thirty-fve. He has lived for several
years with his two daughters in a
dilapidated little shanty on Salmon
street, not far from the Bridesburg
arsenal. Dirt inches thick carpeted
the floor The only ventilation was
from a door and a window, three of
whose panes were stuffed with old rags.
They had no visitors or friends, for the
father allowed no intercourse what
ever with the neighbors. They never
went to school or to church. The
mans only means Of livelihood was
catching stray dogs, which he would
kill and boil and render the fat. He
compelled his children to live on the
meat Of the dogs he caught. From
their infancy he had taught them to
use the fat for butter, and they do not
know the taste ofreal butter. He made
considerable money from selling the
dogs bones and skins, but never spent
a cent except for rags, to cover his
children's backs, or to protect them
from the cold when all three lay down
at night in the one. miserable bed made
of rough boards. At meal time their
dog meat was poked out Of an old iron
boiler and they sat on boxes to eat it
The girls had often contemplated
suicide. They are now in the hands
of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children.

Memphis is not the only unsanitary
place in the country. We see by the
Pittsburg Post that Hon. D. j. Nor
rell Of the Cambria Iron Company at
Youngstown, Pennsylvania, has inter
ested himself in discovering, if pos
sible, the cause of and remedy for the
present prevalence of diphtheria IN
that community. The Tribune of that
city publishes the letters of fifteen
local physicians in reply to a circular
sent by Mr.. Morrell seeking informa-
ton on that subject. An ANALYSIS OF
these letters show that a majority of
the doctors ascribe the cause Of
this sickness, or at least its
peculiar malignaucy, to the
filthy condition Of the stables. hog
pens and other Outhouses in close
proximity to the dwellings. About
one-half pronounce the use of well
water In such a crowded locality as ex.
ceedingly deterious. Bad DRAINAGE
carlessness of disposing of Sion and
garbage, and the filthy condition of the
river banks during the low stage Of
water, are also mentioned as causes oI
ill-health, while the importance of sen.
aration of the sick and cleanliness and
ventilation Of dwellings is strongly
enforced.
