Indian Marriage Laws.

A paper on this subject read by the
Rev. j. Owen Dorsey before the Ameri-
can association notices some remarka-
BILE customs in relation to marriages
and kinship as prevailing among the
Dhegitha Indians, particularly by the
Omahas and Poncas:
VI en- tribe is hunting it camps by
gentes or nations, in circle, each gems
bearing the name of some animal. AL
the members of the gems are relatives.
and marriage between members of one
gems is absolutely forbidden. Member
ship in gems is by descent in the male
line, not in the female. The relations
of a man are denoted by colors, for
example-black, grandfather or grand
mother; blue, father or mother. His
connections are denoted by mixed col
ors, such as pink head and skirt, with
light blue triangle on the body, for sis
ter-in-law. A man can marry his BROTH
er's widow, and her children call him
father even before their fathers death.
His sisters children are only nephews
and nieces. His mothers sister is al
ways oallsd mother for the same rea-
son, and even his paternal grandfath-
er's brothers son is his father. These,
and many other distinctions, show that
the terms of relationship are far more
numerous and complicated with the
Omahas than with us. A man may
marry any woman belonging to anoth-
or gems, whether connected with him or
not; though marriage into his mothers
gems is also forbidden. A man canuot
marry any woman to whom he is related
by the ceremony of the cuiumet-dance.
Sometimes man may take the child
rem of his deceased brother without
their mother herself. Sometimes the
dying husband knowing that his male
kindred are bad, tells his wife to marry
one of his gems. If widower semains
single for two, three or four years, he
must remain so forever. Widows, how
ever, must wait for years before remar-
rying. The same system prevails among
the Iowas, Otos, and Missouris.

The Paw of Men who Run Railway Trains.

The Pay Of Men who Run Railway Trains.
Engineers on the Central Hudson
road are paid cents mile, and fire.
men receive just one-half that rate.
Passenger conductors are paid $50 a
month, and, in some instances, $40
more AS the engineer has control of
the brakes, the old-fashioned brakeman
is displaced by ''trainmen." who help
ladies to seats and also assist them IN
coming and going. These men receive
$50 month, but the man on the last
car has $5 additional, as his RESPONSE
bility is greater. In ease of any delay
he must 90 back on the track to flag
approaching trains, and may be left be-
hind. Baggagemen are paid $50, though
in some instances. where the route is of
unusual length it is increased to $40.
Station agents are paid $50, and ticket
agents Except in cities) $50. This class
are the poorest paid of all railway of
fcials, as they are closely confined and
serve long hours, but there are so many
women ready to accept such work that
women's pay becomes the standard.
The track boss is paid S45 a month.
Switchmen and fiagmen have only $50,
and yet this is one of the most response
BILE positions on the road.-Bufalo En-

An Incident of the War,


Among the Chicago commercial trav-
elers who visit Chillicothe are two gen.
tlemen, now good friends. whose first
meeting was under circumstances just
the reverse of friendship. Mr.. P is
Yorker by birth, and both were soldiers
during the civil war-the former cap
tain in the famous confederate troopers
commanded by the celebrated Gen.
John S. Mosby, and the latter q private
in a New York regiment In one of the
many skirmishes in the vicinity of War
rentown, Va, Capt P was captur-
ed by BIS regiment, the commander
of which, in pursuance of previous
order from his superiors, to "shoot
Mosby's men whenever caught" order
ed the immediate execution of the un-
fortunate captive. He was led out a
short distance from the command, and
a detail of seven men, of whom B
was one, was ordered to execute the
drumhead sentence. At the word ''Fire"
the squad discharged their weapons
straight at the victim, and poor b
fell riddled with six minnie balls. He
was left for dead as food for vultures,
and his executioners mounted their
horses and followed their regiment in
pursuit of Mosby. The victim was un-
conscious for twenty-four hours, and
when he awoke and feebly called for
help there was no response. With six
ghastly wounds in his chest and cover
ed with blood, he dragged himself q
nile to q negro cabin, where he was
kindly received and nursed for week
until Mosby's forces had rallied and
driven the federals from the vicinity.
Then for the first time his wounds were
dressed bya surgeon, and in about six
months he rejoined his command and
fought to the final surrender at Apo
mattox. His health has ever since been
delicate, but he is energetic and pushing,
and is a very popular and successful
salesman, and has no warmer personal
friend than B, who was one of his
executioners, or thought he was.-Chit-

Where are the Drinkers!

The sanity Republicans are con-
stantly asserting that all the whisky
drinkers and beer guzzlers in the ma
ton belong to the Democratic party,
but table made up from the reports Of
the United States Revenue Department
indicates quite the reverse. 1t shows
that in the States that gave Democrat
ic maiorities in 1880, there is a poPula-
ton of 20, ,9l5,7l3, and 81, ,267 saloons,
or one saloon to each 4S0 of population.
In the States that gave Republican
majorities in 1880, there is population
of 2S,673, ,227, and ITO, ,l43 saloons, or
one saloon to each $50 population. In
other words, in Democratic localities,
it requires 4SO of population to support
one saloon, while in Republican local
tiles, 260 persons do it. But the "goody
goody" Republicans will go right along
| telling that the Democrats drink all
the liquor, and that they don't know
one kind of liquor from another. 1t Is
their style to claim all the virtues in
| the land, but to see them act out theil
true character, would convince any
candid person that they are like theii
prototypes of old, the canting, hypo'
critical Pharisees. But to the proof
Iowa has a Republican majority ol
SO, 900, and has one saloon to every 37I
Inhabitants, while Kentucky has 8
Democratic majority OF 60, 900, and has
only one saloon to each 438 inhabitants
Again Rhode Island has two Republi
cans to each Democrat, and has one
saloon for each 296 Inhabitants, while
Texas, that has two Democrats for each
Republican, has but one saloon fol
each 349 inhabitants, The most tenn.
perate State in the Union is South
Carolina, while California, Colorado
and Nevada carry off the palm in the
| other extreme.

Jesse Grant, formerly Methodist

THE leading citizens of Crittenden,
New Mexico, settled the Chinese ques-
ton ia that section in a summary
manner, recently. A railway con-
tractor thereabouts had had the audac-
ity to hire lot of Cinnamon and set
them to work at railroad building. So
the statesmen unslung their Winches-
ters and arranged their revOlvers con-
veniently for ready reference, and
cleaned out the town. Like chaff be-
! fore the whirlwind went the almond
eyed Chinese, and the general flavor
of the dispatch which announces the
affair seems to imply that they are go

Scott, and he had in him the stuff thai
usually goes with that name. But af

kansas WheatCrop.

CHICAGO, May ga Kansas City
special says that never has the grow
,ng wheat crop attracted so general at
tention and so much solicitude as now.
The presence of chinch bugs through
out Kansas last year, the general short
age in crops resulting from these in
sacts, and the dry weather, has made
Kansas the pivotal point Of tue crops.
The season has been exceptionally IA
vorable, snd the reports from South
west Kansas are wonderfully unanl-
sl0us that the growing wheat is i'll al
unusually good condition. Central
Kansas correspondence agree that the
prospects are very flattering. The late
! cool weather has been very beneficial
and the plant looks healthy and strong
promising large yield. The acreage
Of corn is said to be very large, anC
most of it up. The pasturage is good
and the general outlook is encouraging
all over the State.

Amsterdam Letter.

We are permitted to copy the follow
ing letter, written by our old friend,
Cornelius Baldwin, Esq, from Am
sterdam, the chief city of the Neither
lands, to his sister, Mrs. Harlow S.
Johnson, of this city:
AMSTERDAM, May Sth, 1882.
MRS. EMILY JOHNSON,
RAvENNA, ONO:
DEAR SIsTER-Have
just completed my journey. We left
n. Y. on the 25th of April, at 1888 a.
H., on an English steamship of the
Guion line, called Alaska, and made
the trip from land to land in seven
days and twenty-six minutes, being
over six hours quicker than was ever
before made by any sailing craft. The
ship is 536 feet long, with proportion
ate width and depth, and has 200 men
to run her, and uses 1870 tons Of coal
per day. The sea was not very rough
during the voyage, but I was very sea
sick for about four days out of the sew
Ell. When at n. Y. we visited the
City Park and other places of most in
terest. Having some time to wait there,
had fair opportunity for sight see
ing.
1t is long ride across the Atlantic,
and becomes monotonous. We spent
a day in Liverpool, sight seeing. From
Liverpool to London, about 200 miles,
we passed through a very beautiful
! country. At London we saw the Bank
of England, London Bridge, St Paul's
Cathedral, Newgate, British Museum,
and Regents Park. In going into and
out of London, and travels while sight
seeing, saw 40 inconsiderable part OF
London. It is a monster city. Think
of it, greater population than the
State of Ohio.
From London to Harwick we passed
through a very beautiful farming
country. At Harwick we took nigh
boat and crossed the German Ocean
arriving at Rotterdam in the morning
where we Immediately took train 70,
this place.
Amsterdam is about twice the size o
Cleveland, and is rich old city. Th'
buildings are large, and very substan
tial and costly, but there are hardl,
two alike. Amsterdam is built upol
80 islands, with 375 bridges, and NOR
islands and bridges in process of con
struction. These islands are made b.
+. canals, which cross each other, gener
ally at right angles. Can go througl
all the city in boats.
Amsterdam has fine park, whicl
we visited yesterday. After seein
: the Parks, Geological Gardens, Muse
ums, &C., of N. Y. City, London an
Amsterdam, 1 feel that [ have seen q
,, in that line. Should think l had see
| all kinds of animals, birds, reptile,
insects, plants, flowers, statuary, re
. ics, antiquities aud curiosities thu
f exist, or ever did. Am now among til
S Dutch, and am troubled to find an
, one who can even speek little
:, English. Shall have an interpreter
a day or two, when it will be mol
8 pleasant.

ALLUDING to the lockout in the
wire and steel mills of the Cleveland
Rolling Mill Company, the Bellefon-
taine Examiner says:
1.-The men demanded better wages,
and were answered by the closing of
the mills. The trouble is, in many of
these strikes and lock-euJs, at least
that employees cannot afford to work
for the best prices that employers can
afford to pay. One of the principal
causes of this state OF affairs may be
traced to the operations of speculators
in the necessaries of life: These latter
persons are swindlers both of the pro-
ducers and consumers of the country
of employers and employees in every
legitimate relation-of honest enter
