The American Kiss.


The American kiss has been made
the subject of a book shortly to be
printed. Undoubtedly the book will
be a very large one, for the American
kiss is altogether too big a thing to be
crowded into small space. 1t is, in
fact, great kiss, expansive and gener-
Gus. and it comes in most wonderful
variety and profusion. Probably no
man ever found two American kisses
just alike, and in their infinite variety
lies part Of their sweetness. The
genius of the American girl in giving
life and seasoning to a kiss is not
equaled anywherein any foreign land
except. possibly, in New Jersey. If
the American kiss, in its every shape
and dimensions, were written about, it
would show into how many millions
Of delightful forms a little thing can
be put, but no human being could have
the hardihood to undertake such a
task, and it may be set down in ad-
vance that the alleged book ON the
American kiss will be a very made
quate affair.

shot. One was recently captured by a
butcher near Glendive. They are dis.
tiDguished from the other cattle by the
brand. Thus the undisciplined inclina-

shown to be about the same, at least In
the matter of herding together in the
wilderness.

human DEVELOPMENT.

Boston Investigator.
Man is progressive being. 1t is a
law of nature, subject to the influence
of other laws. Man is thrown into the
scale Of nature precisely as other forms
are, and is governed by the same laws
with them. Cast ship loose upon the
ocean, and it obeys the strongest i'm.
pulse-nOw yielding to the eddy, the
wave, and the whirlpool, and again
obeying the resistless force Of the hur
ricane. But ever the stronger triumphs
Just so with man. Having a higher
organization, his multiplied faculties
passions and appetites resemble the
contradictory forces of the ocean, while
his reason seems to add to the ponder
Gus machine the addition of sails, pilot
and captain. The skill evinced in
guiding the vessel almost contrary t.
the opposing wind, is aptly illustrated
in the opposition shown to the lower
appetites by the moral and intellectual
forces. But the strongest still governs.
Each kingdom possesses inherently its
own allotted Qudnt,In of force, and be-
yond that, it is pOwerless. Sailors, of
ficers, steam-engines. stout hearts and
timbers cannot always prevail against
the salt wave and the tornado.
Development must go on, being a
law, but is much aided in its course by
the removal of the impediments cast
in its path by ignorance. Any system
which in theory prolongs this epoch of
development, and leads man to expect
it at any far-removed point of time,
instead Of seet ing for it here, and la.
boring for its immediate establishment,
is an impedimeAt. Here is the baleful
influence of priestcraft. 1t teaches us
to expect the highest goal of develop
ment Immediately after death. And
the promptings of this law of develop
ment are misinterpreted by the priest
as evidence of the immaterial develop.
ment upon which the former is based,
rather than the natural want of Guilt
walton which flows from our inherent
progressive tendency.
1t can never be too strongly impress.
ed upon man that here is his proper
sphere, and that his individual life is
coexistent with the entire life of his
race; and that, as the future must be
moulded by the present, the present
should be moulded expressly for the
future. This cannot be done by any
of the means offered by the priesthood.
1t must be done by the moral and in
tellectual advance of the young; and
that system which encourages the
largest amount of widely diffused edu-
cation, irrespective of crseds, is the
efficient agent in the cause of human

Hatch, but the general and his regi.

been worked to death almost, having
had over twenty thousand Indians

miles in area
Anticipating an outbreak of the
Utes, Gen. Sherman has ordered Gen
Hatch to Washington to arrange for q
campaign in the spring, knowing Hatch
to be better acquainted with these In
dams than any other officer. Gen
Hatch is now in Washington or or
the way there. Recalling his able
work as the head of the Ute peace
commissions of 1873 and 1879, it is t.
pc hoped that he may be allowed tt

stead Of involving US in a costly and
troublesome series Of Indian wars
1t is reported here that Johnson, &
chief of the White River Utes, died OIL

How to Take Care of Harnesses.

A harness that has been on horses
back several hours in hot or rainy
weather becomes wet; if not properly
cleaned, the damage to leather is ire
parable. If, after being taken from
the horse in this condition, it is hung
up in a careless manner, traces and
reins twisted into knots, and the saddle
and bride hung askew, the leather
when dried retains the shape given it
when wet, and when forced into its
original form damage is done the
stitching aud the leather. The first
point to be observed is to keep the
leather soft and piiable. This can be
done only by keeping it well charged
with grease; water is destroyer Of
these, but mud, and the saline moisture
from the animal are even more des-
tructive. Mud, in drying, absorbs the
grease and opens the pores of the
leather, making it a prey TO water,
while the salty character of the pres
piration from the animal Injuries
the leather, stitching and mount
ings. 1t therefore follows that, to pre-
serve a harness, the straps should be
washed and oiled whenever it has been
moistened by sweat or soiled by mud.
If a harness is thoroughly cleaned twice
a year, and when unduly exposed, treat
ed as we have recommended, the leath-
er will retain its softness and strength
for years.

brunette, with rosy cheeks, tempting
lips, long black hair, an intelligent
face and model form. She can roll

out "Tortilla" with the other; run a
sewing machine with her right foot,
rock her sister baby with the left, and
with the whole she helps make a living
for a family of ten. l suppose that

their hands in glorious expectation of
seeing this charming beauty on their

Well, to business. Now that the
frontier states of old Mexico are being
penetrated by American railroads at
the rate of two miles per day, it is
high time that enterprising Americans
were acquainting themselves with the
numerous unequalled advantages Of
fered for the investment of capital.
This subject has had my most careful
investigation for the past five years,
and it is my opinion that mining and
smelling offers the quickest returns and
greatest profits, for the following rea-
sons:

mineral wealth of these mountains. l
have traversed them, tops, sides and

Lancaster County Claim Disposed q

Lancaster County Claim Disposed OF.
The House was the only branch of Con
gress in session OH Saturday and it devoted
the session to the submission Of reports
from various committees and discussing
the postoficc appropriation bill. Among
the reports was one unfavOrable from the
committee on claims relative to Pennsyl-
vania-the petition of Fred Zarracher,
of Christiana, for s4,475 for dam
ages sustained in 1851 by being compelled
to shelter and feed d body Of United
States marines and deputy marshals on
search for the slaves Of Gorsuch, OF Baltl-
moro county. who was killed by his fugl-
tive slave on that occasion. Tho commit
tee held that this claim should have been
made against the parties who transcended
their authority by taking the supplies and
forcing Zarracher, who owned tavern, to
entertain and shelter them. The claimant
stated in his petition that the damage sus.
tanned by him had amounted to upward OF
$4,000, but he modestly refrained from
asking more than "a, ATS. Tho latter claim
has been pending for a number Of years
and is now finally regarded as effectually
disposed of.

A Wfllfn' Barkis.

The Republicans have found Il man
willing to run for mayor. His nomina-
tion creates more surprise than enthus
iasm. For long time it has been well
understood that he was willing to take
but rather timid about seeking this
nomination. 1t comes to him after seek
ing others more available, and after con-
ventions and conferences in which his
name, if mentioned at all, was received
in a very chilling and unwelcome man.
ner. Capt. Ricksecker's nomination was
not discreditable to his party, even in
view of the we'll assured fact that it
would not have been conceded to him
had the politicians thought they could
elect anybody else. But the nomination
of w. ID. Stauffer is confession of de-
feat.
After fou. years of experience in the
Office Of mayor he was voted out by his
fellow-citizens because they did not be-
lieve in him nor his methods of admins
tration. The experience of the people
with his successor has vindicated the
wisdom Of the change. Nothing could
be in sharper contrast than the direction
of public affairs by Stauffer and that
which has been given to them by Mac
Gonigle. The details which emphasize
this contrast need hardly be recalled.
Ex-MayOr Stauffer is weak candidate,
because he is a very weak man. With
his private character and social qualities
we have nothing to do. But in seven
teen years OF what the Examiner calls
chronic office. holding" he has exhibit
ed official characteristics which pain
fully reveal his unfitness for the mayor
atty. BY the testimony of his party as
sociates who know him best, he is pro-
nounced untruthful /; he has not the
courage of convictions nor the fidelity
to be true to public duty and he is ut.
terly without capacity to give efficient,
watchful care to the concerns of the
city. He never interposed objection or
obstruction to waste, i'll management
and recklessness in the city finances, and
under him the municipality drifted rap
idly into unlawful expenditures and
illegal increase Of debt. Permanent
loans were made for temporary purposes
and expenditures were continually being
made in excess of appropriations-two of
the most prolific causes of municipal
complications. His nomination Las the
one redeeming quality that it will
afford our citizens an excellent chance
to express their appreciation of the diff
ference between good mayor and
poor one.
