An Indians Tussio With Hot Soup.

The Uncompahgre Utes, writes a
Colorado correspondent, know how to
drive a good bargain, and it is mainly
through their efforts that SO fine treaty
has been made with the United States.
These Indians are half-Spanish strollers
who have had dealings with the Mexi-
cans for more than 200 years. Next
come the While River Utes, with
Douglass and Jack for leaders. Jack is
shrewd scoundrel, and having lived q
long time on Yamoah or Bear River, is
frequently called Yamoah Jack. He
speaks English enough to make his
wants known to the Great Father, and is
by no means bashful about SO doing.
II he wants a crimson brow-band for his
bride he forthwith pleads with that
high functionary, and in few days
brow band, bride and pony are all
forthcoming.
Hs then sits down and thanks the
Great Manitou for having cast his lines
in such pleasant places. Jack is great
gambler and has proved himself q good
fighter. He likes everything the white
man has, from hot soup up. He was
complacently dining with white man
on one occasion when some exceedingly
hot soup was placed before him. He
didn't know very we'll what it was, but
determined to 6 chance it anyway. So
he put huge tablespoonful in his
mouth, when more astonished Indian
has seldom been seen. We all know
how hot soup can get sometimes, and
that soup was about as hot as any that

Does Pleasure paw

With the above words an English
society journal opens an article on the
current habits of good society in search
Of pleasure. It is unnecessary to say
that pleasure, if it can be taken only as
many fashionable people take il, is not
worth the time and money that it costs.
No one enjoys this worlds diversions 20
little as those who pay most for their
fun and devote most time to it. At the
theater and opera the people who ap-
pear most pleased are those who sit in
the cheapest seats and wear the poorest
clothes, and elsewhere the rule is the
same. ALI else being equal, the man
who has the most money to spend can
secure the most enjoyment in this
world but one thing that thousands Of
people seem to forget is that with all
things with pleasing possibilities COM
mon rule Of the table holds good 1T is
of no use to eat unless You have an APP
petite. The most for1orn diner-out in
New York is the man who eats several
dinners daily, and the. most unhappy
man at TIE theater the man who finds
fault with everything and enjoys moth.
ing is be who goes to the theater every
night. Pleasure is Like dessert very
good to take after something substan'
tial, but the most unsatisfactory Of al
/ things when taken IS steady diet

The Worst Section Of Paris.

Like all the out-of-the-Eay parts oil
Paris, QUARTER des Epinettes is lighted
by oil lamps, slung on wires across the
street, or hanging at the desolate cor

The back streets Of thi quarter (chieAy
composed of low stone huts with fiat
red tile roofs) have a great resemblance
to the old streets and lanes OF the south
ern French towns-a resemblance which
is not little strengthened by the un.
savory odors which prevail in this un-
fortunate district, which has acquired
the worst reputation for villainy of any
in Paris. Nor is this to be wondered at.

most abandoned ruflians of Paris may
be seen in the daytime taking theil

And his fingers they were long and clean.
And he swung his broadsword bright and

But he never could fight with mc-me-ms--

And the wide-foored earth granary keeps;

The sense Of smell occupies itself with
gases for these alone can gain access
to the organ, or cause the sensation OF
smell. Lest the reader should suppose
this statement opposed to the testimony
Of his experience, from the we'll known
fact that solids, such as cedar wood,
camphor and musk, excite the sensa-
ton of smell, while ordinary scent are
preserved and carried about in liquid
form, it must be explained that these
substances contain volatile essential
principles which, on free exposure to
the air, are slowly given off in state Of
vapor Some solids give off PARTICLES OF
their substance in state of vapor with
out FIRST becoming liquid, as is ordi-
narily the case. Thus snow, which
coats the earth in winter, will diminish
daily even though the air is frosty, and
there is no melting process going on.
In other cases, as in cedar wood. oils
naturally volatile seem to be long en-
tangled in the solid matter and but
slowly rendered to the air; but their
odoriferous power is 50 great that very
small portions Of them produce strong
! perfumes. This is sometimes truly
wonderful. DR.. Carpenter states that d

The census bulletins give the number Of
blacks in all the old slave states, excepting
Texas, which do not affect the result The
total number of blacks in the states was
4,242 ,O03 in 1870 and 5,643,S91 in 1880.
This shows during these ten years the
enormous increase of l ,401 1888, or more
than thirty three per cent, though some
allowance must be made for the defective
census Of 1870, which gave the increase Of
blacksas only five and half per cent. for
the preceding ten years. Going back be-
yond the war it appears that the colored
population in the group Of states under
consideration increased from 2, 1888. .736 in
1840 to 3,369, ,934 in 1850 and 4,O18, ,389 in
1860. This was at the rate of twenty-five
per cent. during the former decade and
nineteen per cent. during the latter, or
an average of twenty y-two per cent. for the
last twenty years Of slavery. Comparing
this with the thirty three per cent. Of the
past decade the rate of increase of blacks is
shown to be very much greater in freedom
and peace than it was in slavery and peace.
During the past ten years the oolored pop
ulation in the south has increased at con-
siderable greater rate than the white.

Regulating Railroad Companies.

Senator Daniel Buck Of Mankato has intro
duced q bill for regulating railroad companies
doing business in Minnesota, which embraces
the following points:
First-they shall carry freight and passengers
upon equal and reasonable terms, and for an
equal and reasonable rate and compensation,
and if any railroad company fails to comply
with this provision, it shall forfeit and pay 5000
to any person injured or damaged by such fail
ure, to be recovered in the county where. the
damage occurs.
Second-R any railroad company shall refuse
to receive and carry over its road any freight or
passenger, and to carry the same from one sta
ton to another, it shall incur a like penalty.
Third-No two or more railroad corporations
shall agree and combine tp exact Of any person
unequal or unreasonable rates for carrying
freights or passengers from any city, village or
station, and any failure to comply with this
provision will subject the offending corporation
to fine Of $500, to be recovered BY any per-
Tson who shall commence action against such
railroad company, one-half Of which SUM shall
and the other to be paid into the treasury of the
county where the action is brought

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10.
SENATE-The bill to prevent the spread Of the
cattle disease in this country was debated in the
senate. 1t met with opposition from the numer-
GUS senators who earnestly advocated the law
for this purpose, but condemn the present bill
as crude and full of imperfections The debate
indicated that the bill could not pass, the pre-
vailing opinion being that it would be better to
wait until the next congress for such law than
to put through bill so imperfect
HoUsE-The house went into committee of
the whole on the agricultural appropriation bill
An amendment was adopted appropriating
$50, 900 for the purchase, propagation and
distribution of seeds, etc., providing that in
equal proportion three fourths of all seeds
shall, at their request, be supplied senators and
representatives for distribution among their ag-
ricultural constituents.
MIR. Dunnell, of Minnesota, insisted that the
members knew the practical farmers of their
districts much better than anybody else, and
stated that more and better reports had come to
the agricultural bureau from the few farmers
for whom he had procured seeds than from all
that had been sent by the department into his
district

Charles O'Cnnor's Views.

Charles O'Conor, the venerable New York
lawyer, talks about the Irish question in this
way:
The oppressiveness of government under
monarchial and aristocratc forms may proper
ly excite sympathy towards its victims and in
dignant hatred against its managers. The same
accursed engine of murder and rapine in the
form of contending political factions reached the
climax of its domination in our own country
when it was allowed to inaugurate the civil war.
The measureless bounty of Providence to our
own country has enabled us thus far to endure
steadily progressing political evils; but l am of
the opinion that every American patriot having
a capacity for public usefulness can employ
himself more merit orisusly in checking the
growth of governmental evils at home than in
spasmodic interference with the harvest Of Off
cial crime by those employed in robbing the
British islands, India and south Africa
