NUMBER or HosTIEs.

As will he seen by telegraphlc dls- patches. the whole number of Indians found missing from the San Carlos res ervation, at the recent enumeration, was seven hundred and fifty, including wO- men and children. or this number all but forty are White Mountain Indians, and the forty others were those directly under the control Of the medicine man, Noka-ka-te-Klirna. This does not show A very large number of warriors openly in the field, admitting that all the ab- sentees are on the war-path. Ihe num- Der cannot exceed two hundred and fifty. But even this apparent peaceabllity IS not entirely satisfactory, for the number and direction of the dePredatlons which have been committed are such as to force the conclusion that all could not have been committed b. the few In dians openly in revolt It inclines us to the opinion, which is strengthened by the statements of Rev. J. J. Wingar, head-farmer at the reservation, that 
 many of the so-called good Indians are committing depredations on the sly and use the reservation as a safe retreat. As long as they are undiscovered they will remain nominally peaceful, but when their identity is known they will openly join the hostiles. That state of affairs is more difficult to handle than open hostility and is liable to occasion mo. e loss of life and property.
 It will be noticed that more Indian scouts have been enlisted. Carr's ex- perience does not lead us to place much reliance in them. The Yumas and Mo hayes are true because of the mutual antipathy existing between them and the other tribes, but they are afraid and are no match for the others.

NO OCCASION FOR ALARM.

The present indications are that only 6 very small section of the Territory will be in the least degree affected by tine present Indian outbreak. The hostlles have missed their opportunity to escape from their narrow confines and descend upon the unprotected valleys away from the immediate vicinity of the reserva- tion until the cordon of troops has been drawn around them, and by this time their avenues of egress are closed, and they will have the privilege of settling their difficulty with some of the best h. dian fighters in the West. The fact that the Indians have been so slow indicates either tha. they have no competent az
 t.e leader-thst the outbreak WAS first engagement, and could not secure sufficient support to make 8 general sally. As 1t Is, the southern portion of the Territory has nothing to fear, as long ss the trouble Is confrei to the White Mountain Indians. That tribe are not acquainted with this southern country, and would not be likely to venture into 1t except in company with other tribes In times past they were kept in the north by the Papagos and other hostile tribes south of the Gila. Trouble from them, if anywhere, will be in the vicinity of the San Francisco mounta; and along the line of the Atlantic and 3lcifc Rail- road, but here General Pope is operating to cut them of, so that they will hardts make much progress in that direction. Eastern people hsssn0l'- oseaslon to visit the Ts--<sor! need not fear to do so, for iio danger IS to be apprehended on the main lines of travel, and in few weeks we hope the military will have restored peace and quiet in the comparatively small section now disturbed

A Pretty Nay Custom.

Apretty May custom still obtains In
the more primitive villages Of Suabia,
Bavaria, and Tyrol, distant from the
great railway routes and comparatively
untouched by the prosaic temper of
contemporary German culture. On the
first Sunday of the howery month the
unmarried girls of the hamlet, armed
With leafy boughs, visit in procession
the young wives who have been we'd
during the past year, and make formal
inquiry, in certain set phrases hallowed
by long custom, with respect to their
health and happiness. Etiquette pre-
scribes that each married woman thus
distinguished should receive her maiden
visitors at the outer door of her house,
before which they take up their stand in
double line. After thanking them for
their kind inquiries, she passes slowly
between their ranks, receiving from
each in turn light blow inflicted with
the green branches as q mark of
maidenly disapproval of her faithless-
ness to their virginia. sisterhood. Hav-
ing endured this gentle discipline, she
is expected, according to her husbands
means, to make pecuniary Offering to
the vestal band; and the total amount
of this quaint May-day collection is ex-
pended by the village girls in an even
ing festivity, to which they invite the
marriageable bachelors of the village.
At this merry-making all the outlay for
musicians and refreshments is betrayed
by the youthful hostesses, who however
reserve to themselves the privilege of
engaging partners.
Among German peasants the prac-
tices and observances of their ancestors
are even 10 this day faithfully observed.
They are not near 50 cosmopolitan as
their English and French neighbors and
latter day Innovations are usually en-
tirely disreSarded.

QTenbach.


Offenbach the musical composer, eager
ly accepted the homage paid him, and
any amount of adulation. He was the
idol of the Parisans, and young France
acclaimed him in the streets, following
him to his house on the evening of each
great success, and hosting him should
er-high, while some danced round him,
and all sang the merry strains which
echoed in their memories. He was as
simple as child in most worldly mat
ters and extraordinarily credulous. M.
Albert Wolff, one of his friends and
companions, writing to the Paris F'iga-
no, relates how he and some of his COM
panions, hearing that Offenbach would
stop at their hotel at Etretat, organized
q triumphal reception in his honor. A
collection of arms and costumes belong
ing to gentleman in the neighborhood
was requisitioned, and half q dozen
halberdiers worthy of figuring in an
opera comique were equipped and
drawn up in battle array in front OF the
hotel. A lad, also dressed up, was
mounted on donkey as q herald, and
arrangements were made to receive the
composer with a salute from two small
cannons. When his carriage drew up,
the halberdIers presented arms, the
drums beat, and the trumpet sounded,
while NJ. Wolff presented the keys of
the hotel on plated salver to the macs
tro, who thought the whole thing was
real, and, wiping the tears from his
eyes, embraced his friend, and said,
''Oh, this is indeed too much! These
good people are too kindn'

Mans Ago.

Few men die of age. Almost all die
of disappointment, passion, mental or
bodily toll, or accidents. The passions
kill men sometimes. even suddenly
The common expression choked with
passion has little exaggeration in it, for
even though not suddenly fatal, strong
passions shorten life. Strong bodied
men often die young; weak men live
longer than the strong, for the stronguse
their strength and the weak have none
to use. The latter take care Of them
selves, the former do not. AS it is with
the body, so it is with the mind and
temper. The strong are apt to break,
or, like the candle, to run, the weak to
burn out The inferior animals, which
live temperate lives, have generally their
prescribed number of years. The horse
lives twenty-five; the OK fifteen or twer-
ty; the dog ten or twelve; the rabbit
eight; the guinea pig six. or seven.-
These numbers all bear a similar pro-
portion to the time the animal takes to
grow to its full size. But man, of the
animals, is one that seldom lives this
average. He ought to live hundred
years, according to the physical law,
for five times twenty are one hundred;
but instead of that, he scarcely reaches
on an average four times his growing
period; the cat six times; the rabbit
even eight times the standard of meas
urement. The reason is obvious-man
is not only the most irregular and the
most incorporate, but the most labori-
Gus and hard worked of all the animals.
He is also the most irritable of all an
imals; and there is no reason to be-
lieve, though we can not tell what an
animal secretly feels, that, more than
any other animal, man cherishes wrath
to keep it warm, and consumes HIM
self with the fire of his own secret re-
Election.

Gru1l1bling.

What a luxury it must be, to some
people, to grumble. Rob them of that
luxury, and life seems barely endurable.
You might as well obliterate from sight
the green and velvety coat of Nature.
They mast grumble. Grumbling is a
constitutional necessity with them. 1t
is part, and an important part, of
their organization. They grumble as
naturally and as inevitably as they eat
and drink. Indeed, they might, per-
force, dispence for a time with those
interesting table performances; but to-
tai abstinence from grumbling, to a
regular grumbler, is just as possible as
total abstinence from water to a fish.
And, goodness knows! life furnishes
sufficient material for fault-fnding.
The least querulous find it difficult at
all times to be amiable amid the per-
verseness of events, and the counter
currents of all little things that should
move on in unity and harmoniously.
Amid such state of things the NOR
bidly dissatisfied may easily revel in
the expression of their discontentment;
and to do them justice, they seldom
lose an opportunity. In domestic life,
the conduct of servants is theme,
alone, of endless complaint. The
'.greatest plague in life," as servants are
called, occasion, too, the grandest varie-
ty of these little outburst of the grumb-
ling propensity. But, after all, it is our
impression that good employers make
good servants, and rtce cea'So. May
not all grumbling, therefore, arise as
much from the grumbler's evil habits as
from the evil characters of the person
or thing grrumbled at! 1t would be
quit as well for us to contemplate, now
and then, this view of the question, and
reason accordingly.

| cidedly an old maid to be dangerous to
I any mans peace of mind. 1t was all
true, and she had known it all her life,
but somehow, it occurred to her as new
or before.
Little, and plain, and old, but with q
woman's heart beating warm and
strengthful in her bosom; and, some
how, Laura Hesketh's rare beauty
seemed the most desirable possession in
all the world, because with it such love
and devotion and admiration could be
won. She thrust tho foolish thought
away from her, and came back, her
sugar-crock in her hand.
s.Do you bathe every day, Laura?'
she said-they had known each other
| from childhood, and in spite of social
inequality, were on very familiar terms.
81 heard the children say the water was
delightfully."- warm to-day"
''We go down every day-why don't
you go, Helen? Can't you go with us at
four O. clock to-day? Mr.. Hatley's go
| ing, and mamma, and Archie"
Il rather think not" she said. II
want to make a pasty for tea-the
children are so fond of it, and Iprornis-
ed it for tonight"
"But the children can be disappoint-
| ed for once-you must go Miss Cart
wright" and George Haray stepped in
to the big, shady kitchen.
Laura gave him a rapturous glance
of welcome. and Helen laughed little
confusedly.
Il hope that 1 am not intruding; or
that this delicious, old-fashloned room
is forbidden ground?"
Helen pointed to chair
''Sit down, Mr.. Hartley she said.
and then went on with her pastry, while
he and Laura chatted and laughed.
And ended by taking Helen's consent
to go with them bathing.
She never knew quite, how it all hap
pened-none of them knew--but little
Ethel managed to separate herself from
the, others, and the first thing anyone
knew, was that the child was scream
ing, and being borne out by the break
ers, and that Helen had plunged in af-
ter her, entirely oblivious of the
fact that she was not much more able to
fight the heavy seas than the child.
There was little CONSERVATION, a
shrek or SO from Laura. an exclama-
ton of something not perfectly intelligi-
BILE from MIR. Hartley, 3 prompt COM
mand to Laura's big brother, Archie,
and then, shortly after, little Ethel and
Helen were carried out, unconscious;
and the next thing Helen knew, she
was on her own sofa in her little sitting
room, with the sound of Laura's and
her mothers voices in the next room,
and Mr.. Hartley's handsome, anxious
eyes looking down into her face, Us he
sat beside her.
'.Helen," he said, in a low, breath
less sort of way, as she looked wonder
ingly at him. ''Helen, my brave little
darling-thank God 1 saved you for
myself, didn't I?''
She suddenly began to cry-what did
he mean? Was it a dreams tantaliz-
ing dreamP
"Helen," the low passionate voice
went on, ''if you had died think
should have died, too. 1 meant to have
told you this very day how have learn
ed to love you-that I want you to be
my blessed little wife, if you can care
enough for me to come to me. Can you,
Helenp Do you, dear?'
And even Laura Hesbcth could not
begrudge happy Helen her great hap
piness when she saw what perfect bliss
had come to the little woman from her
summer lodger.

How thew Marry in Poland,

Have you read NJ. Tissot's account of
a Polish marriage in the Moniteur
Universal? 1t will amuse the ladies, l
am sure. In Poland. it seems, it is not
the would-be bridegroom who proposes
to his lady love, but a friend. The two
go together to the young girls house,
carrying with them loaf of bread, a
bottle of brandy and a new pocket
handkerchief. When they are shown
into the "best" room the friend asks
for wine glass; if it is produced at
once it is a good sign; if not, they take
their leave without another word. as
they understand that their proposal
would not be accepted. Suppose. how
ever, that the desired wine glass is
forthcoming, then the friend drinks to
the father and mothers health, and
then asks where their daughter is, upon
which the mother goes to fetch her.
When she comes into the room the
friend (always the friend) offers her the
glass, filled with brandy. If she puts it
to her lips she is willing. and then the
proposal is made at once. But it is the
fashion to refuse it several times before
finally accepting. Then the friend
takes out the new handkerchief and
ties the young peoples hands together
with it, after which it is tied round the
girls head, and she wears it as sign
of betrothal till her wedding day,
which is very soon afterwards, as on
the Sunday following the proposal the
banns are published. On the wedding
day itself all the bridesmen and brides
maids 60 round to all the friend and
acquaintances of the two families and
invite them to the wedding. AT each
house they must dance a CracOvian.
Uet us hope that the dance is a short
one, for the sake of their feet and
breath.) During this the bride is be-
ing dressed by other young friends of
hers, while young men sing virtuous
to her. When all the guests
are assembled the bride kneels for her
parents blessing, and then she is
placed in n carriage with her betrothed
and the friend. Upon returning home
bread and salt are presented to the
young couple and wheat is thrown over
their heads. This wheat is picked up
and afterwards sown; if il bears good
fruit the young couple will be prosper
Gus. Dancing, singing and feasting
are kept up till morning; when the
young couple are accompanied to their
room. But before then the brides hair
has to be cut off and she is cO,fe with
The matrOn'S cap. This custom is
terrible, but it has to be complied with.
The wedding festivities are kept up for
seven days and seven nights without
after which the wedding
visits begin, commencing the Oldest
proprietor or lord of the neighborhood.
