The Growth of New York.

According to the census New York has a
population Of ,205, 900, gain of 1854, 900
since 1870. It is remarkable fact that in
1870 the tenth and three adjacent wards
forming the east central portion of the city
contained $50 people to the acre, or consid-
cradle more than the most thickly inhabited
districts of London. By the census Of 1880
it is shown that these four wards have
gained 26, 600 people, rendering them now
probably the most denseiy populated spots
on earth, in some places not less than 600
people being crowded upon an acre of
ground. These wards harbor not only great
numbers of poor working people of all ma
tionalities, but also probably one-half of
the criminal population. A walk through
this locality gives one some idea of the
mass of humanity packed in the tenements.
The streets in the evening are swarming
with people, and it looks as though some
thing unusual had occurred to draw. so
many together. But it is not so, the crowd
being composed simply Of the denizens of
the tall houses lining the streets turned out
on the sidewalk to air themselves and chat
with their neighbors. Probably no other
city in the world outside of China can show
such mass in such space.

INDIAN JUSTICE.
Execution of an Indian Murderer by Son Of +
the Victim.

Execution of an Indian Murderer by Son of
the Victim.
Mr.. Gurdon S. Hubbars, the oldest set
tier of Chicago now living, delivered q
lecture last week, containing a narrative of
his first years experience in the indian
country, as an employee of the American
Fur Company. The followingis an extract:
On the way back to MacHnaw they came
to an indian village, where he witnessed an
indian execution of a murderer. The muir
derer was Canadian indian, but had mar
ried into this tribe. In drunken spree he
killed son of the chief, and as he had not
property to ransom himself he would have
to suffer death, and fled from justice. He
took his family and quietly left camp for a
distant part of the country, where he en-
gagged in trapping with the expectation of
making sufficient money to pay the ransom
in the spring. He was not successful, and
nearly starved. It was the indian custom
to visit vengeance on the relations of the
felon in case he escaped, and the chief had
threatened to take the life of one of the
brothers of the murderers wife. The
brothers knew the whereabouts of their
sister and her husband, but were bound by
an oath not to reveal the hiding place. To
save themselves one of the brothers prom
ised to hunt for and find the murderer, or
give up his own life. He went to his
brother law and told him what had been
done, and, like brave man, the murderer
promined to return.
It was the morning of this return that the
company of soldiers and traders visited the
village, and out in an open space sat the
chief and his family, while the tribe were
gathered around In the distance was heard
the dull sound of the Indian drum and the
death song chanted by the murderer as he
advanced to his execution. His family we're
with him, and they marched up to the chief.
The Indian handed to the chief the knife,
saying: "Chief, here is the knife with which
I murdered your son. He provoked me by
calling me a coward and an old woman, and
I killed him. am now ready to die by the
same weapon"
The chief took the knife, handed it to
his son, and told him to avenge his brothers
death. There was not murmur as the
young Indian stepped out in front of the
murderer, who stood calm and resolute.
The knife was IfteG in silence and plunged
into the breast of the condemned man, and
then withdrawn, followed by the hot life
blood. There was not groan or a sound
made, but the Indian stood for moment
while his blood poured from the wound
and then fell dead. The wife and children
had kept quiet until he was dead, and then
threw themselves on the body in a paroxysm
of grief. The chief approached the woman
and said herhusband had been brave man
and died like brave. He then adopted
her and her children, telling them to make
their home with the tribe.
Mr.. Hubbard said he should never forget
this first execution which he looked upon
as so horrible

The Women.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton urges everybody
to follow her example and write their names
in full. She says the use of initials is an
Anericanism that should be abolished at
once, and that married women should re-
bands names meaely Us an af6x, for con-
venience.
There is an instance in Hartford of a
woman who has been married and divorced
four times, and each of her husbands has
in turn married again and been divorced.
Her first husband procured divorce from
her and she was married again. Becoming
divorced from her second mate she remar-
ried the first, and has since been divorced
from him and has married a fourth time.
Her second has been married and divorced
twice and both of his wives are now living

A very interesting discovery has been
made in an excavation at Creme. The'ex-
cavators came upon very ancient Roman
tomb which had already been broken into
at a remote period, apparently, but short
distance from the tomb, and at about two
metres deep was found q very thin sheet of
lead eighty seven millimetres long and fifty
it, it would seem that this band of lead was
q charm to defend the wearer from the i'm
precautions of an enemy. It was folded
double and perforated at the corners with
four holes evidently for the purpose Of its
being continually worn.

Fashion BreVities,

TaSNlUn DicSAaACes
Wide velvet collars, bordered with fur,
are very stylishly worn.
Furniture tides are things of fine art at
the present time. They are of silk, satin,
plush, and lace, and enriched with hand
painted designs, embroideries Of chenille
and tinsel, and trimmed with ribbons, laces,
balls, and tassels.
Black silk dresses, though elegant and
suitable to all styles, are less worn than
formerly, and the reason seems to be that
the Lyons manufacturers have taken to
making such dishonest fabrics that their
silks get shabby long before they wear out.
A plain hemstitched pocket handkerchief
can be ornamented prettily by putting a
row Of feather stitching in white or colored
working cotton just above the hem. This
is good way to mark handkerchiefs for the
wash, providing of course, that the wash
ing is done at home.
Muffs are as small as ever. They
are in various shapes, and trimmed in most
fanciful ways. Some are Of plush with q
small pocket for the handkerchief, and 9TH
ers of SHRED satin with black blonde sewed
around the openings. On the top of the
muff is a large satin bow. A very pretty
model for satin muf is covered with flow
ers. Sealskin muffs are made of the whole
skin, with seals heads hanging down the
front. Another kind of muff is black satin
embroidered with silk in the natural colors,

A new idea for bridesmaids at English
weddings is to have twelve, each four
dressed in such way as to carry out the
idea of the four seasons. Sometimes the
dresses are SO chosen that they SAVIOR some
what of fancy costumes. At a recent mar
riage, some pretty white, or rather cream,
silk dresses, with brocade of pale green
and blue upon them, worn with silver orna-
ments, and straw hats, with ostrich plumes,
were selected by the eight bridesmaids; two
intending to carry out the idea of the wood
land, with ivy, wild hyacinth, blue bells
and wood anemone; two the meadow, with
cowslips, daisies and grass; two the rivu-
let, yellow calthas and forget-me-nots and
watercress; two the lake, white and pink
waterliEes, buds and foliage.

THEGARDEN OF EDEN.
A Visit to its Reputed Site---Its Location and
Appearance.

A Visit to its Reputed Site---Its Location and
Appearance.
From the Chicago Alliance.
A couple of hours ride over most
wretched bridle- path, up and down rugged
mountain passes, brought us to this charm
ing oasis called eden" The Arabs assured
us this spot was the real Garden of Eden,
and, judging from the intense curiosity
they evinced concerning ourselves and our
traps, we had no difficulty in believing this
to be the garden where our first mother,
Eve, dwelt ere she grew too fond of apples.
This eden is situated in a pretty little
valley in the heart of the mountains, at an
elevation of some S 1000 feet above the level
consequently everything is green and fruit
is plenty. The valley is full of vineyards,
with ponegranates and fig trees, and olive
and mulberry plantations, and overlapping
the whole can be seen some immense wal
nut trees that look as old as the world.
As am writing these lines. sitting on a
camp stoolin front ofm tent, can see the
whole population of Eden collected round
our camp staring at us. Young and old, men.
women and children are pressing forward to
have good look at us; and some of these
wild children of Eve have climbed up the
trees to have the luxury of bird's-eye view
OF our camp. Long DeIOre we reached our
camping ground the news had been brought
that caravan Of people from beyond the
mountains, and perhaps, oh, wonder! from
beyond the sea, was coming to camp in their
oasis.
The news spread like wildfire among the
tribe, and there was general rush for the
best place to see us come in andget off our
horses. The women left of their work in
the fields, the men left off playing on the
reed pipes, and the children left off crying
to see US coming. Barnum's circus arriving
in village ''out West" never created such
sensation as we did on approaching this
earthly paradise. As we fled past through
this aisle Of human beings we were greet
ed with shouts, and mock salution The
women giggled, the men smiled, the children
reared at the queer figure we cut in our
European costumes. Two ladies with us
were made the object of very popular
ovation.
The green goggles which some of my
companions wore seemed to raise the en-
thusiasm of the crowd to it's highest pitch,
and many sworthy finger was raised from
among those Arabs, pointing to those green
goggles, and the women called to each other
and raise1 their children in their arms to
make them enjoy the treat. Meanwhile my
friends, quite unconscious Of their great

Popular Fallacies

Night air and damp weather are held in
great horror by multitudes of persons who
are sickly or of weak constitutions, conse-
quently, by avoiding the night air, and
damp weather, and changeable weather,
that is considered too hot or too cold, they
are kept within doors much the largest por-
tiOn of their time, and as a matter Of course
continue invalids, more and more ripening
for the grave every hour; the reason is,
they are breathing an impure atmosphere
of their whole exist
ence AS nothing can wash us clean but
pure water, so nothing can cleanse the
blood, nothing can make health-giving
blood, but the agency of pure air. So
great is the tendency of the blood to be-
come impure in consequence OF waste, and
useless matter mixing with it as it passes
through the body that it requires a hogs
head of air every hour of our lives to un-
load it of these impurities, but in proper
ton as the air is vitiated, in such proper
ton does it infallibly fail to relieve the
blood of these impurities, and impure blood
is the foundation OF all disease. The great
fact that those who are out of doors most,
summer and winter, day and night, rain or
shine, have the best health the world over,
does of itself falsify the general impression
that night air or any other out door air is
unhealthy as compared with indoor air at
the same time. Air is the great necessity
of life; SO much so that if deprived of it for
a moment we perish; and SO constant is the
necessity of the blood for contact with the
atmosphere that every drop in the body is
exposed to the air through the medium of
the lungs every tive minutes and half Of
our existence.

Vacation.

The dry goods clerk receives permission
10 go off into the country for two weeks to
rusticate. lie receives his fortnight's pay
in advance, and is rs happy as a butterfly
in the bosom of tulip as he glides out of
the city. He generally goes TO visit some
farmer relative, ter then he can have all the
fresh milk he wants, and besides won't be
obliged to pay any board. The latter is
the feature which makes the farm prefer
able to fashionable watering place. He
never visits the farmer a second time, as he
is discovered to be q philosopher of no
mean order. He tells the young man that
as he has been confined in close store for
year, all he wants to brace him up is to
dig little, so he takes him out and intro
duces him to u two-acre lot of potatoes
which needs hoeing. OF course he can't
decline and offend his host, so he shoulders
the hoe and goes TO work In manner
which would lead casual observer TO
imagine him to be committing murder
under special contract. The way he makes
the hoe fly around his head and the number
of potatoes he chops in half ought to be
warning to the agriculturist TO call him off.
This he would do if he knew the damage
that was being done; but he doesn't-he
only sees the hoe fly around, and that
makes him smile and exclaim:
"Well, now, swan if he amt 4 gosh
blamed lively boy"
After that he is asked to chop some wood
and turn a griudstone for an hour or two,
the farmer, asserting that these things are
extremely healthful in their tendencies,
and withal quite the thing for young man
who works in store all the year.
On the following day he is asked to help
fix stone well, and, being rather slender
and light, Is selected as the most
available person around the place to be
lowered down the well TO fasten the bucket
TO the chain.
After he has been in the country for
about two days he begins to sigh for the
city, and to be back again in . store in
charge of 8 cross-grained employer with
yellow hair. lie is by that time complete
ly used up, and wonders if he has fallen
down stairs or been run over by lumber
wagon. He thinks even a residence of
Zuzuland, with fever and ague thrown in,
would be sweeter lie feels like asking
the farmer TO pension him. In an ecstacy
of despair he gets his brother TO telegraph
TO him saying there is death in the family
and he must return Immediately and as
he departs, the farmer remarks that he
doesn't seem 10 take on' much, and that
he is about the happiest mournsr he ever
saw in his life.
