Secretary kirkwood talked very plainly
and intelligibly to the Indian delegation
in Washington on Wednesday and asked
that the Sioux should surrender some Of
their land to the Poncas. The Sioux, af-
ter consultation, not only surrendered
$4,000 acres, but with an exhibition of
generosity and sympathy for their red
brethren which puts the mercinary con-
duct of white men to the blush, refused
to take pay for it. There is evidently II
better side to some Indian natures If it
can only be reached.

State Treasurer.

correspondent writing from Harris
burg on the State Treasurer question
says Since the announcement that Sen
ator Lawrence would not be a candidate
for State Treasurer, Senator Davies of
Bradford county has been widely men-
toned for the position. He did not be-
come candidate through any action of
his own but through the repeated cX-
preSsionS of friends in the Legislature.
He is very popular among his associates,
and is respected by men of all wings and
factions. His county is located in sec
tion which was very warmly in favor of
Mr.. Grow for U. S. Senator, and after
Mr.. Grows withdrawal Senator Davies
continued to act with the Independents
in obedience to the general sentiments Of
his constituents. But he was ut the same
time so moderate, reasonable and cOnSid-
crate that he retained the good will and
friendship of the members on the other
side, and those who are favorable to his
nomination are found among the Rcgu-
lars as well as the Independents.
1t has been widely supposed that Sena-
tor Davies would not encounter any scll-
Gus opposition. But within the past few
days there are evidences of Il movement
to bring forward another candidate. The
"Regular" managers are grooming Gencr-
al Bailey of Fayette for the race. They
say they have no personal objection to
Senator Davies, but put it upon the ground
that some of the Regulars will not sup
port him. They urge in favor Of Gene T.
has not been involved in any party con-
tests, and that he has good record as a
soldier. He commanded one of the Penn
sylvania regiments and at the close of
the war was made brigadier general.
The only civil position he has held was
that of delegate to the Chicago conven-
ton where he was one of the 3O6 that
voted for Grant. He is now merchant
and stands high as to character and in
tegrity. Whether this movement will
lead to contest in the convention re-
mains to be seen, some of the Regulars
are committed to Senator Davies, and
will support him whatever course may be
taken by their leaders. If he goes into
the convention as candidate, he will
have a large body Of friends, and those
who are now planning different campaign
may find it impossible to beat him.
There is general desire to avoid con-
flict in the convention, and general pur-
pose, whoever is nominated, to carry the
State. All the managers feel the impor-
tance of winning this battle preparatory
to the great struggle of next year, and
there is nowhere any disposition which
was feared while ago to allow the cleo
tion to go by default. The Republicans
are united in the determination to elect
the treasurer this year and the governor
next.
DR.. HammondS comments Oh the Pres
ident's case have excited Indignation in
official as we'll as private circles. 1t is
stated that as Surgeon General on the re-
tired list he is liable to be court martial
ed for speaking disrespectfully of Surgeon
General Barnes who is one Of the Presi-
dents attending surgeons.

No Provision for illness.

Few OF our houses are built with a
view to illness in the family. In ev-
cry house there should be one room
set apart for q sick chamber. This
fsoHi should, il the Hrst place, have
a warm. sunny exposure. The win-
dow light should be ample, and COM
mand the widest possible view. The
first essential in sick room Is a good.
liberal fireplace. Through it, and by
means Of the warmth which gener-
ates, the whole room is kept in its
atmospheric conditions which Is
wholesome and pure. Not only 30.
but a slow. burning FIRE with its lights
and shades, Its rising sparks and
glowing brands, Its curling and many
colOred smoke, and its changeful sm.
=berss' furnishes ceaseless diversion TO
the sick one who lies watching It.
Nothing is more soothing and quiet.
ing than the influence which subtly
steals into the senses of him who
gazes dreaniily into the gentle fame.
IL Is a companionship itself. The
walls, too. should have their proper
adornments. Pictures that suggest
quiet and peace, and the free, fresh
life Of nature outside, should be on
them. A bracket, with its vases Of
flowers; green clambering vine.
clinging ambitiously to the ceiling !;
library case filled with familiar
books; curtains that soften the light
while admitting it-all these are help
fui to one who lies in weakness, and
can take no more of life than what q
little room reveals.

Origin of Storms.

Speaking ofsterms and their origin,
An exchange declares it has been prov
en- that atmospheric disturbances
usually move in the same direction
across the ocean as across the conti-
nent, viz, from west to east, and that
abont sixty-one per cent. of the
storms which we have to encounter
on the Atlantic haye arrived there
from the American continent but it
is also known that thirty-nine per
cent. of the storms originate upon tho
Atlantic itself; that only fifty per
cent. of the storms observed on the
Atlantic arrive at Europe, and that
the telegraphic reports sent by the
New York Herald weather bureau
from America to Europe have only
an imaginary value. In order to
make meteorological observations of
real benefit to the mariners Mr..
Hoffmeyer. of Copenhagen, proposes
to erect regular weather service on
the islands of Farce, Iceland, South
Greenland, the Azores and the Ber-
mudas, connecting these stations by
telegraph with the continents. It is
expected that the meteorological in
stitutions of Europe will take steps to
make practical test of these sugges.
ti0ns in the near future.

Superstitions of Turkish Women.

The Turkish woman is fanatical
conservative. The world in which
she lives is unmoved by the practical
facts of the nineteenth century which
make life burden to her husband.
No Chinaman was ever more imper-
yious to ideas of improvement. She
is fiercely intolerant in matters of
religious belief. The teachings of the
Koran have reached her by word of
mouth and surrounded by perfect
Talmud of tradition, and these teach
ings shape her view of the outside
world. In obedience to them, she
commonly hates foreigners with
passion. AS she passes you on the
street she will pray with audible
ferv0r that your eyes may become
blind. or that God may curse you.
She is superstitious in the extreme.
In sick ness she will use the saliva of
an old woman who has never been
divorced, or will inhale the fetid
breath of an Odorifer0us and sanity
dervish, in preference to the choicest
prescriptions of an educated physician.
She is assured that Satan in person
teaches Americans their skill in
mechanical arts. Sne believes in
charms. She will not live an hour
beref, of her three cornered bit of
leather which encloses the mystic
phrase that is potent to ward off the
evil eye. She distrusts Tuesday as
the mother to i'll luck, and will not
celebrate the birthday anniversaries
of her children, nor even record the
date. lest some magician use 1t to
cast spell against the child.-Hdr-

Where ere the Yesterdays Gomez
BY HUDSON FUTILE.


"where are the Yesterdays gone, papa" !"
asked my little girl.
AS we gain the heights OF the present,
And our'eyes DER the interval east,
Below is the sweep of river,
And beyond the wide plain of the past.
The Yesterdays here are encamping,
In a line which extends to- the wall,
Where clouds with the plain intermingle,
And the night drops her man Ne on all.
The Yesterdays camping in sile 9e.
AS they went their way one ~ one,
While we only thought of days coming,
When the present was measured and done.
Through mists they appear as we left them,
And forever and ever will stry.
A. chanseless and stony silence.
1utne fignt or the lingering day.
In memory some smile upon US,
And our souls are agIow with the breath
OF the roses of love and affection,
While some are as bitter as death
OIL Yesterdays how we regret you!
Oh that prayers deep and fervent would
bring
As again all blessings of childhood,
And the light of its blossoming spring!
That we shall pass again never,
BY the headland there sets swift tide;
He who passes it passes it forever.
For no bridge spans the gelf to that side.
In dream we look in the distance,
Through the mists setting dark on the plain,
The Yesterdays vanish in twilight,
But the morrows will meet us again.

"Well, ] don't care he isgood and

two schoolmates, who were walking

good name, of the institution with
which he is connected, of the society

AS natural consequence that
young man who drinks will generally
blight the manhood that is within
him, change to curses the blessings
that are upon him bring to the dust
whatever high born aspirations,
whatever longings for greatness. glory

trample upon the leye and confidence
