4 GRATEFUL INDIAN.-Amoug those
who drifted hither in 1859, during the
Pixies Peak excitement and who have
Moccasin Bill, still living in his csbiu in
the Sangre de Christa mountains. At the
age of fifty years this man is as straight
and as active as at twenty, and when he
mingles with other men-a rare occur.
rence--he towers above them like some
giant among Liliputions. His long hair
falls over his shoulders and desceHds near
ly to his waist in natural curls, now
slightly tinged with gray. while beard
that has known no razor for thirty years
sweeps his breast. Many years ago he
established hunting camp in theIGunni-
son country. Having sxcavated hole in
the side of a hill. and having completed
warm and secure retreat, he was prepar.
ed to pass the winter and brave the perils
OF that season Of the year. lie had loca-
ted series of traps, and daily he plodded
through the snow to secure any animals
that might have been captured. and to re-
plenish his larder by bringing down such
game rs might be obtsinable. As tho
winter advanced the snow became deeper
and spread over the mountains and valleys
TO the depth OF many feet.
While making his daily round. one day,
and while staggering along with bundle
Of furs on his back aud Ills rifle on bis
shoulder, he heard n cry, faint and weak,
yet still a cry for help. With true frontier
courage he responded 10 tho appeal, and
ere long found, half buried in the snow
aud nearly perished, an Indian. With in-
finite difficulty he conveyed the savage to
his cabin aud there nursed him back to
strength. This Indian had secreted him
self upon the trail OF the hunter with the
avowcd purpose of killing him, but had
succumbcd TO the cold. and was rescued
by the man ho had sought to slay.
Before leaving his hsnefsctor he unbo-
somcd himself, and while relating his
story, pleaded for pardon, Ills benefsctor
knew full we'll The object the one he had
rescued had in view, hut had nobly saved
him from horrible fate. The savage
and would murderer departed from the
cabin OF his henefActnr with II changed
heart, and returned n his tribe, where he
related his adventure. From that day
the hunter WAS honored by the Indians, and
many: days wero spent iu their wigwsms
by one they bad sought 10 destroy. His
traps were never molested, and when he
left for tho settlements he carried with
him the lovo Of his savage neshbors.

yho annihilation of time and space by
electricity was illustrated by reoeut
incident on tho coast of India. Two
English ships were repairing telegraph
cable near Bombay. They were about
half mile apart, one of them having
hold of the shore end of the cable and In
communication with Bombay; the other
baving the sea end and en- rapport with
Alden. Communication between tho two
ships was neccessaryin order to complete
their work, and this was accomplished by
one OF them telegraphing to Bombay and
thence around TO Alden, and the other from
Alden around 10 Bombay. Thus, as q
speedy means of sending messages half
mile they were forwarded by route three
or four thousand miles long.

The successful advertiser will tell
you that of all the mediums of reaching
the people and attracting patronage the
newspaper is IS ten to one the most pro-
ductivs of satisfactory results. Even
theatrical managers, who have long plac-
ed their dependence on expensive show
bills covering vast bill boards and dead
walls, are now using full newspaper pages
with the most happy results. An estab-
lished, widely circulated newspaper, not
a catchpenny, experimental sheet,
returns more for each dollar expended
in its advertising columns that any other
medium which it il possible to find.

AMERICANS GREATNESS

The position of this country is unique
in the history of the world. Other
nations have grown great by natural
increase, or by conquest, or by both.
America has attained population of
SO, 600, 900, by: voluntary immigration
from all civilized nations, and by the
Importation and multiplication of slaves,
now liberated. There are three nations
which have larger population than
America, viz: Russia, China and India,
but none of them have free institutions,
and none Of them are attracting immi-
grants. India, indeed, is not nation,
but portion of the British Empire, with
a subordinate government of its own.
The freedom of belief and of enterprise
the security of life and property, and the
almost boundless field for enterprise
which this country presents, renders it
50 attractive that the inhabitants of Eu-
rope are..pouring in upon us At the annual
rate of nearly q million of immigrants,
who scatter over the country, and in
few years become citizens. All the
languages of Europe, and some of those
of Asia, Africa, and the Islands of the
Pacific, are spoken in America, but they
are likely to gradually disappear before
the one common language-English.
The freedom and security enjoyed in
America, soon turn immigrants, whence
soever they may come, into patriotic, or
We might say, into enthusiastic American
citizens, if not in the first generation, at
longest in the second. In these circum-
stances, and with our present prospects;
it is reasonable to anticipate. by the
close of this century, q population Of
lO0. oOO, 900, possessing wealth, education,
religion, enlightenment, science, and
influence, in q greater degree than any
other nation now existing, or that ever
did exist.
In view of this wonderful destiny,
which is undoubtedly fraught with a
worldwide influence for good, how much
it behooyes our Executive Government
and Congress to be on their guard against
doing any mean or unjust thing. They
should uphold the Nations character
not for cleverness and overreaching-
but for justice, honor, magnanimity
and generosity toward weaker nations
or its own inferior rsces.-[N. Y. Wit

Every young man should learn a
trade Thousands of young men yearly
come from our colleges who are equipped
with copious supply of Classic litera-
ture. They believe naturally that their
education:should give them support. 1t
has cost money and labor. They believe
that compensation some where equal
to the cost should be received. But at
their first step they meet the business
world that says we need men who are
practical: men who have been educated
not in theories, that can have no place
in the worlds business life, but have
grown up and developed in an atmosphere
that fits them by absolute contract to do
we'll the task before them. The college
graduate finds the avenues to all the so
called learned professions already over
stocked with men Of fine parts and ex-
perience that gives them a vast advan-

encouragement and finally complete

1t has not been many years since
nearly every candidate before such con.
vention as that at Topeka recently, would
have kept intoxicating liquors in his
rooms for the use of his friends. Only q
few years ago rum was considered one Of
the essentials ofsuch political campaign.
The candidate who had any hopes of q
nomination would as soon have thought
of strong pitro glycerine as whiskey in
his rooms. A few delegates and strikers
and but very few of then too-were at
times under the influence of liquor, but
they were hustled out of sight as quickly
as possible. No candidate felt that he
was safe with such men about bis guar
tiers. Lockers on could not fail to notice
this revolution in the manner of con-
Quoting political campaigns. 1t speaks
volumes for the step Kansas has taken
on the temperance question.
