WHISPERS ADVICE TO HIS SON.
some Suggestions of Value to Youth Every
 where.
\. Y. Exeter.

Some years ago the writer was favored with the perusal of a genuine autograph letter written by Daniel Webster to his son Edward, about the time the latter commenced his studies at Exeter Acad- emy. The following is verbatim copy of the 'etter:
 WASHINGTON, June 23, 1884.
 My DEAR SoN:-Fletcher wrote me from Exeter the next day after your ar- rival, and informed me that you had been so fortunate as to be received at Col. Chadwick's, and was commencing your studies. am glad you are so well situated, and trust you will progress in your studies. You are at most inn portant period of life, my dear son, soon growing up to be young man, and a boy no longer, and 1 feel great anxiety for your success and happiness. l be- seech you to be attentive to all your du- ties, and to fulfill every obligation with eheerfulncs and punctuality. Above all remember your moral and religious con cerns. Be constant at church and at prayer, and every other appointment for worship. There can be no solid char aeter and no true happiness which are not founded on sense of religious duty. Avoid all evil companyan every temp tation and consider that you have left your fathers house, and gone forth to improve your own character and pre- pare your own mind for the part you are to lead in life. All that can be done for you by others will amount tonothing unless you do much for yourself. Cherish all the good counsel which your dear mother used to give you, and let those of uswho are yet alive have the pleasure of seeing you come forward as one who gives promise of virtue usefulness and distinction. feryently commend you to the blessing of the Heavenly Father.
 Congress arises, es we expect one week from this day, believe shall go directly home. Your mother and Julia, suppose, will be in Boston before me. We shall go to Marshfield, where you will of course join us when your vacation comes.
 "I happen to have two small Macs. bills, they do not go here, and inclose them to you to be used if you should have occasion, to buy book or spend . dollar for any other article.
 'I wish you to make my best respects to Dr. Abbott (the principal of the Aca. demy) and remember me 10 Col. and Mrs, Chadwick and their family. If do not hear from you sooner, shall ex pect to find letter from yon when reach Boston.
 Your affectionate father,

It wonld fit anybody. It was splendid dress for hot weather; so easy to put on and of; so loose, cool and comfortable; so easy to slip out of, and, if need be, fan your self with the skirt.

Pappooses in the Courts.
N. Y. Times.


 A first glance does not reveal why In dians have not already been made citi- zens by operation of the Fourteenth Amendment. It says, All persons born or naturalized iR the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" Are not Indians born within the United States? Yes. Aud aro they not subject to its inrisdictlon? In a sense, yes; but not so judges in cases thus far heard have said, in the sense intended. Soon after the amendment Il half-breed Indian iu Oregon offered to vote, for he said he was born in the United States, an sued the inspectors for refusing his ballot. But the Judge said he did not consider that the amendment had made any difference about Indians generally. The meaning is: All persons born in the United States, and born subject to it's jurisdiction. The amendment, he sad, was not meant to introduce any new ideas of citizenship, but to apply and enforce the old familiar rule toward colored persons who were born in the country, and under the jurisdiction, yet were forbidden by the Dred Scott decis' Ion to become citizens.
 It is we'll understood that through the history of the country in the years pre- ceding the amendment the Government has dealt wlth the Indians as tribes, mol

us,ng up the Elephants.
' London Telegraph.

Considerable interest attaches itself to question which has just been put by a Sheffield worker in ivory. He desires to know whether elephants shed their tlsks, as if not upwards of ,2S0 of these magnificent beasts must have been killed to supply his manufactury alone with the ivory used last year. The answer to his query is, unfortunately, that before tusks can be obtained, an elephant must be slaughtered, and herein is found a susie t for very serious reflection, Nu- merous still in Ceylon, though by no means so plentiful as they were a few years ago and without doubt existing also in large numbers in certain parts of Africa, the elephant is, however, rapidly disappearing As beast of burden he is unrivalled for strength, endurance and intelligence, and the services he rem ders in times of war as well as peace, would alone more than reward great effort in his behalf Quite alone from the fact that when he goes, the supply oi ivory ceases too, there is also the grave consideration of his loss as ' means of locomotion and transportation It is well known that he does not breed in captivity, andit Is, therefore, only in i wild state that the species can be pre- served, The destruction of more thar l 200 of his kind for one hnife-makinl firm implies huge and serious waste.
The Russellville Democrat., 1880-01-08

Co, ernment has made treaties with with them and exercised some limited government over them. But each indi- vidual member of tribe has been con sidered a subject of the tribe, not of tt.Is United States. Therefore the pappooses were not citizens. because they were not born within the allegiance of the United States. They were likened to embassa- dor's babies, who were esteemed all over the world subjects or citizens of the nation to which their father belongs, not of the country where they happen to be born. And they could not be nat uralized when they grew up because they were not white persons, to whom the old naturalization laws were confined.
 One or two years ago one Reynolds was indicted for killing one Puryear, and objected that the court had no power to try him, for him and Purycar were both Indians; not by birth and blood, to be sure, but because they had both married Choctaw squaws. There is, or was, q treaty to the effect that whoever mar ries squaw and is adopted by the tribe becomes Choctaw. The United States does not want him any more; the Choc- jaws may have him. His wife being ttH 1Hulstls it btNoiliSo nilstt llay " termed an Indian-at-law. As the law yers were all agreed that the court could not try for quarrel or homicide be- tween too Indians, but must leave them to the tribe, they investigated the par entage of Mrs. Reynolds and Mrs. Pur- year; and they found that the supposed Choctow grandparents ef Mrs. Puryear were not members of the tribe, but dwelt as citizens of the State of Missis- sippi. The Judge then decided that Mrs. Puryear was not an Indian, but a citizen, for the reason that when mem bers of tribe leave it and scatter them selves to live as individuals among the people of a State, they become subject to the jurisdiction of our government the same as citizens generally, His marriage, therefore, did not make Mir. Puryear Choctaw, or take him out of the protection of American Courts.
 These decisions give promise of a method of making the pappooses citi- zens. Many friends of the Indian race urge earnestly that the tribal method of dealing ought to be abandoned, and the members treated as individuals. If this course should be adopted even with one tribe at time, if Government should take the members of any tribe under it's jurisdiction as persons, their children would be born under the jurisdiction, as well as in the territory, and would be natural born citizens. The next genera tion would be citizens by force of the Fourteenth Amendment,
