Or. Hicks remained about fifteen minutes
| longer with the prisoner, but was unable
to turn his thoughts away from the cunsid-
Grafton OF his immediate surroundings.
When he retired from the cell, Mrs. SEQ
vile and her little daughter and John w.
GuiteaU were admitted. Their interview
with the prisoner lasted fifteen minutes,
the warden and his deputy being present.

After kissing his sister and little

row at O'Clock at the Jail.
Signed, Gro. NJ. BE,rD."
The above invitation was sent by tcle-
graph TO many physicians. DR.. Beard, who
leaves for home tonight, says he
feels no interest in the further
proceedings. He expresses his
firm conviction that he has fairly pre-
diCted Guileau'S action. tomorrow. He
does not believe the post mOrtem examina
ton will reveal the

DR.. Beard says that in selecting the
names OF those 10 be invited TO the autopsy
he tried to cover all the different shades of
opinion which has been expressed with re-
gard to the prisoners mental condition.
In handing to Reed, to-day, the farewell
letter which he wrote Just before bidding
him goodbye Guiteau said:
This. my best TREND is the only
compensation can give you
for your services TO me. You have never
lied to me, nor deceived me, while nearly
everybody else has. am going to heaven
to morrow at one o'clock, and l wish you

WASHINGTON, Jane 2a-Dr. Updegratl
has returned from Ohio, and resumed his
legislative duties this morning. In con-
vcrsation with RseIsTER representative
to-day, he expressed himself as confident
OF denomination. Speaking OF the charge
of bribery. he said that the Noble county
delegates were instructed to vote for him,
therefore it was absurG to charge that he
would attempt to buy delegates that were
friendly TO him from the. first. He has no
hesitation in pronouncing. the charge a
set up job. He recited the proceedings
OF the investigation, and he said that as
soon as the instigators began to see their
plot uncovered, they were as anxious to
abandon the inquiry as they were eager to

AProminent Ohio Republican,

in speaking of the charges against the char
acter OF the Doctor said the action Of the
convention in ad djourning without making
nomination would be rebuked by the peo-
pie, and he would be. in the end Vindicated
by the Republicans OF his district. Said
he: THE Doctor is too well known for
set OF political triCksters to attempt TO
smirch his character in that way. If there
ever was an honest man in Congress that
man is Dr. Updegratl.' Ohio Republicans
generally feel very much chagrined over
the disgraceful way in which the st.
Clairsville convention terminated. All cx-
press their opinion freely to the effect that
it would have been much better for the
party had the convention compromised on
one or the other candidates and made a
nomination. Undoubtedly the result has
strengthened the Doctors chances, so far as
the Ohio Republicans in Washington are
concerned.
While the Democrats speak kindly OF the
Doctor, they hope that he may be defeated
believing that even i'll the nomination OF
another candidate il would increase the
chances of Democratic success in that dis
trict should the party put up the right kind
of q man.

YOUNG INDIAN MAIDS.
Their characteristics and Training
for MatrimOny.

for N atrimOny.
Among the Northwestern tribe of In
dams innocence is as marked among
the girls as their color. The impression
that the red maiden does not edtertain
a high standard of morality is an error,
for she is taught as other girls are, and
grows up with well-developed ideas OF
the responsibilities of life and firm
resolution to discharge them. Educated
in the faith that she was ordained to
work, she trains herself to undergo hard
labor, and at sixteen years of age Is
sturdy and strong, brave against fatigue,
and a perfect housewife.
She may not possess New England no.
tons of cleanliness, but she takes n0tA
little pride in her personal appearances,
and in the arrangement of her lodge
she displays some crude ideas of taste
and a certain amount Of neatness. II
she marries q white man she makes
him q good wife as long as she lives
with him. His home is her sole COM
fort, and his comfort her sole
ambition. She thinks of him
and for him, and makes it her
study to please him and make him re-
speet and love her. She recognizes in
him one Of q superior race, and by her
| dignity and devotion endears herself to
him and struggles to make him happy.
At the agencies Of the upper frontier
thousands of men are employed, and it
is not an eXaggeration to say that the
majority of them have Indian wives
and live happily. They are not sought
| after by the maidens, for the Indian
| girls custom is to remain quiet until
| after the marriage contract is made and
| the marriage portion paid over. The
\ husband must have the dowry, with
! which he must invest his projected moth
| er-in-law before the cere mony takes
/ place. The process is q little out of the
usual run, and description may be of
interest:
The aspiring bridegroom must be well
known in the tribe before he can hope
to win 4 wife. Her people want to
thoroughly understand him, and know
if he can support not only her but all OF
her relatives in the event of q pinch. He
must be kind-hearted man, with q
temper warranted to keep in any do
nestle climate, and he must have q
good lodge, and at least haf-dozen
horses. 1.-The be, and have all these, he
can a-wOoing 60. Then selecting a lady,
he makes application to the mother, and
at council the price is fixed upon.
If the girl is especially pretty her
mother will demand gun, two horses
and q lot of provisions, blankets and
cloth. A gun is valued at fifty dollars,
q horse at twenty dollars, and he must
furnish the material to bring the amount
up to from one hundred to one hundred
and fifty dollars. Then he tries to beat
the dame down and if he succeeds he
knows there is some reason for letting
the girl go, if not, he understands
he is making good choice. The court
ship is left entirely to the mother.

wom.nhoed and Proverbs.


There is one proverb in "Don Quix
ote" wherein ali the old higb-bret
Spanish courtliness (which was quite {
different thing from the Teutonic rev
erence for womanhood) is briefly anC
Enthusiastically expressed. We can
not resist quoting il in the original: II
coRsejo de Ia mules Is POGO, gel que nc
tomd es loco. 1.-THE counsel of q woman
is not worth much, but he who does not
take it is worth nothing"
In Puttenham's carte of English Poe
try" curious and interesting work,
published about the end of the sixteenth
century, this author, speaking of the
observation-disclosures of the female sex in
general, alludes to,the common proyerb,
"A woman will weepe for pitie to see
gosling goe barefoote.' There must
have been q touch of real humor about
the originator of this ancient proverb,
ridiculing, but never the less loving, the
prodigality of tenderness which caused
him such amusement.
Among the notes to the third chapter
of his "History of England Lord
Maculay alludes TO the vulgar proverb,
THAT the gray mare is the better horse"
attributing its rise to the preference
generally given, in the seventeenth GEN.
fury, to she gray mares of Flanders
over the finest coach horses Of England.
In George Herbert's "Jacula Pruden-
tum there are many proverbs which
are descriptive of the lives and quail
ties of women. Amazing others We Sc
lect the following: "Empty chambers
make foolish maids" a proverb which,
of course, like so many others, only ex-
presses half truth; for We are willing
o believe that some very wise little
maidens have grown into wOmanhood
like mOorland blossoms, which only
the grouse, and the adder, and the hum
BILE bee have looked on; but foolish is
no doubt used here in its slighter signi-
ficance of bashful, in which case the
proyerb is of course a true one.

How does such work pay::'

"How do you get the people to sit:"
"Well, can illustrate the method by
telling YOU what | did with Mr.. Jay
Gould whose picture | have here" As
Mr.. Hope spoke he produced two ex-
ceedingIy fine photographs of the great
financier.
al have been after Mr.. Grould for
over two months to see him, and when
| saw him he said he was too busy but
he would think about it. OFF and on
at intervals of about four months L
would call and sometimes | saw him
and sometimes | did not. At last he
said he would come and fixed day. The
day came and no Mr.. Gould. | waited
4 month and then ca He'd. He told me
he had forgotten all about it, but he
fixed another day. That day it rained
and he did not come. When l saw him
next he said he had forgotten it again
but, calling his son, said to him,
George, remember to take me to Bo-
gardus's gallery on Thursday at 800
This time the two came, but they came
on Wednesday morning the day before.
Mr.. Gould sat and the proofs were taken
up To Mrs. Gould who liked them very
much. SO now we have his picture,
and as you can see yourself, it is very
fine one. The sales have already been
large"
