The Decay of the Red Race.

NJ. de Lesseps has interested himself
in the theory that the red race of Ameri-
ca had its origin in the visit of the
ships of King Solomon to the region of
the Amazon river and now the Duke
of Argyll suggests, in his interesting
articles on America, in Frazer's Maga-
zine, that the decay OF the North Ameri-
can Indians began long before they
came in contact with Europeans. So
we have interesting conjectures from
eminent men both as to the entrance
and exit of the red man of the Western
continent. But it may be we'll for the
noble Duke to consider whether the
red race is making or is likely to make
an exit from America. The Indian
population OF the United States is now
from 100000 to 275 900, and there are
no reliable indications that it has ever
been greater. Certain tribes have dis
appeared, and nearly all have shifted
themselves from place to place, but the
red race is not approaching extinction
as rapidly as is commonly supposed.
The Indian is with us, and to stay, and
the problem to be solved is, how to
convert him into useful citizen, not
how to hasten his burial without viola
ting the requirements of decency.--

Tale Bearing.

In most family hotels aud boarding.
houses, gossip of the meanest kind is
rife. Mrs. A tells endless tales of Mrs.
BIS extravaganza; Mrs. B dilates by
the hour upon Mrs. C's flirtations;
Mrs. @ asserts that Mrs. ID has most
outrageous appetite--is positively
gluttonous. Mrs. ID condemns Mrs.
Els management of her children; Mrs.
E wonders how Mr.. + can live with
his wife, she has such violent temper;
and so on through the entire alphabet.
And there is another species OF social
dishonor which the idle lady boarder
practices unblushingly: it is that Of
repeating conversations, circumstances,
not made under promise of secrecy,
but which high sense of honor would
treat as confidential, il happily high
sense of honor we're the rule. It is odd
that one of the best things boy learns
ut school is to eschew tale bearing and
keep faith with his companions, while
one of the most common practices OF
society is to betray the trust contained
in talk. and repeat to all what has been
told in implied confidence to one. OF
all the evils and discomforts attendant
upon boarding house life. this habit Of
idle gossip is the most glazing, nd
causes the most mischief and 50 81

KING ALFONSO AND CUBA.-King AL
fonso declares that he is willing to sign
an instrument for the emancipation of
the slaves in Cuba. He wishes to abol-
ish slavery from that island. If he de.
sires to retain Cuba as q possession of
Spain it will be we'll for him to hasten
Legislation against slavery there, and
take vigorous action for the welfare of
that distracted island. It is evident
that the Cubsns will never have perma-
nent peace until the slaves are freed.
If the strifes of recent years continue
among them, it is probable that tue lib
Grafton OF the slaves will he affected ss
q measure OF war. A vast number of
slaves have already been granted their
freedom as the price OF fidelity to their
masters in an emergency. and the
emancipation of lively conflict is far
more swift than any the Spanish gov
eminent is likely to grant. In fact,
the project Of Spain is to liberate the
slaves of Cuba very gradually. Unless
King Alfonso comes resolutely forward
to right the wrongs of Cuba, Spain San.
not hope to long keep the control of
that island. Cuba has the right to de.

Editing q Newspaper.

There are people who think it an easy
matter to edit newspaper there are
those who think any man of education
can succeed in the profession. But the
truth is, there are comparatively few
men who succeed in it, and for the
reason that they do not regard it as q
profession. requiring study and prepa-
ration. It is also lahorious profession
when pursued with industry sufficient
to insure success. The Boston Post
furnishes a paragraph which gives q
great deal of truth in few lines: A
good editor, competent newspaper
conductor. is, like a general or poet,
born, not made. On the London daily
papers, all the great historians, novel
lists, poets, essayists and writer's of
travels have been tried, and nearly all
have failed. We might say all, for after
a display of brilliancy, brief but grand.
they died out, literally. Their resources
we're exhausted. II can," said q late
editor of the Times to Moore, "find any
number of men of genius to write for
me, but very seldom one of common
sense" The Thunderers in the
Times, therefore. have, so far as we
know, been men of common sense.
Nearly all successful editors have been
men of this description. Campbell.
Carlyle, Buiwer and DisrAeii failed |;
Barnes, Sterling and Phillips succeeded.
A good editor seldom writes for his
paper he reads, judges, selects, die
tates, alters and combines and to do all
this we'll. he has but little time for
composition. To write for Q paper is
one thing, to edit = paper 10 another.

Nerve.

About q year ago prisoner was
brought from one of the territories in.
irons and handed over to the Detroit
house of correction with the warning
that he was desperate character and
had boosted that he would "run" the
institution. He had malignant look
and surly answer to all questions, and
when ordered down into the bathroo IN
he boldly declined to go.
"Step down." repeated the deputy.
81 won't" replied the prisoner, back
ing off little and glancing around for
a weapon.
The deputy was the man for the occa-
sion. Walking close up to the prisoner,
he said, in a quiet but reaching
voice ;" Every prisoner under this roof
must obey me or die If you are not
down stairs in thirty seconds, will
shoot you through the head |"
No weapons we're in sight. Both men
faced each other barehanded. The pris'
oner was q robber and murderer.
The deputy was an officer Of nerve. For
ten seconds they looked into each 9th
er's eyes and read each other's thoughts.
Then the prisoner turned aud went
down stairs, and from that day to this
he has been as submissive and obedient
as any man in the prison. Detroit Free

Then flutter'd DER the waters blue,

Cosmetics in Butter.

The mass of the people have no idea
OF the extent of the artificial coloring OF
butter. There is, comparatively speak
ing, no butter sold in this market which
is not 80 colored. We do not state this
fact for the purp ose OF alarming the but.
ter eating public, for rs q rule the color.
ing matter used is perfectly harmless,
and if it does not add to the intrinsic
value of the product, 1t has the negative
merit of not detracting from the quality.
The principal color used is the seed OF
the annatto, a berry growing extensively
in Brazil. 1t is slightly aromatic, and
is entirely harmless when used pure.
1t imparts the rich golden color to but
ter which consumers SO much value,
and which so little pure butter possess
es. When impure annatto is used it is
not the fault of the dairyman, but OF the
merchant of whom he procures it. and
as the price OF the pure article is NOT
much above the adulterants. there is ut
tie or no incentive to dishonesty In this
particular. The principal other color
ing matter used is turmeric, which IS
also perfectly harmless.-N. Y. A"'sr''
