Young Indian Maidens with Whit,
Husbands.

Husbands.
From the Montreal Star
Among the northwestern tribes of Indians in
nOcence is as marked among the girls as thei,
color The impression that the red maiden does
not entertain high standard Of morality is an
error, for she is taught as other girls are and
grows up with well-developed ideas of the re-
sponsbiities OF life and firm resolution to dis
charge them. Educated in the faith that she
was ordained to work. she trains herself to hard
labor, and at sixteen years of age is sturdy and
strong. brave against fatigue, and perfect
housewife.
She may not possess New England notions OF
cleanliness, but she takes not little pride in
her personal appearance. and in the arrange
ment OF her lodge she displays some crude ideas
OF taste and a certain amount Of neatness If
she marries white man she makes him a good
wife as long as she lives with him. His home
is her sole comfort and his comfort her sole
ambition. She thinks of him and for him. and
makes 1t her study to please him and makes him
respect and love her. She recognizes in him
one OF 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 IL 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 re-
main 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 prospective mOther-in-law be-
fore the ceremony takes place. The process is
little out Of the usual run, and description
may be of interest.
The aspiring bridegroom must be we'll known
In the tribe before he can hope to win wife;
her people want to thoroughly understand him.
and know if he can support not only her, but ali
of her relatives in the event of pinch He
must be a kind-hearted man, with a temper war
ranted to keep in any domestic climax. and he
must have good lodge, and ut least a half
dozen horses. II he be, and have all these, he
can a-wooing go. Then selecting lady. he
makes application to the mother, and at coun-
Gil the price is fixed upon.
II the girl is especially pretty her mother will
demand gun. two horses and a lot of proyi-
sions, blankets. and cloth. gun is valued at
800, and he must furnish the material to bring
the amount up to from Sl00to $3.50 Then he tries
to beat the dame down, and IL he succeeds no
knows there is some reason for her LETTING the
girl go, If not he understands that he is making
a good choice. The courtship is left entirely to
the mother. ~

The humming Of the bees as they sped from
flower to flower and slipped the honeyed treas

the summer breeze. signing among the locust
trees were the only sounds that broke the st.
Louis silence Of a beautiful afternoon in Sep

fallen upon the land, and from the vivid hues of
the sumac bush to the pale gray of the aban-
dOned hOOpskirt every object that lay so silently
upon the brown bosom of the sun-kissed earth
was touched with whitening hand of Autumn.
Away to the westward stretched avsta of grain
fields that were laughing in the golden glory of

enormities until some empress of fashion comes

From the PAN Mall Gazette.
An original sect is reported to exist In Fin
land, the fundamental principles Of which IL the
sovereign authority of woman in the family.
The disciples Of this sect, whether married or
living in concubtnage, take an oath to submit
themselves entirely to their wife or mistress,
and to confess to her once week. On their
side the women choose one Of thelr number -
sovereign, whose duty it is to see that the men
remain faithful to their oath, and to punish them
II they transgress. There are some villages en-
tirely devoted to this new religion The only
analogy to this sect is to be found In Siberia,
where the Purifiers recognize equally the an
thorfty Of women.

The Atlantic Monthly for October has
an excellent variety OF serial and short
stories, poems, essays and criticism.
Thomas Hardy's story, 1.-TWO on Tower,
advances five chapters, and we'll maintains
the interest which has characterized the
earlier chapters. Mr.. Bishop gives two
additional chapters in his blouse OF
Merchant Prince" which Is an unusually
faithful and somewhat pungent discussion
Of New York society. Harriet W. Preston
who is now In Europe, writes delightful
article entitled "Among the Sabine Hills"
The eighth article Of the "Studies in the
South" is marked by the same close and
accurate observation, and the same singu-
La candor which have made the previous
studies so valuable, and which have justly
secured for them most respectful attention
both at the North and at the South. Lieut..
Cushing concludes his interesting account
Of the "Nation Of the Willows" which is
not the Zunis but the Ha-va-supai. Prof
w. 7. Hewett contributes an article on
university Administration" The short
story Of the number is entitled "And Mrs.
Somersham," by Agnes Patton. The num-
Der is rich In poetry by Mr.. Whittier Miss

With Supplement

ADJUTANT GENERAL Geo. l.. Beal, of
Norway in this County, will be a candi-
date for reelection, at the coming Legis-
lative session. He is the only candidate,
so far as we know. There is no doubt that
the military men of Maine will heartily
support him for the place, No man who
has visited the Adjutant Generals Office,
under the administration of Gen. Beal, can
doubt his fitness for the place, nor fail to
see the wisdom Of retaining his services
for the two years TO come Gen. Beal is
heartily interested in military affairs; he
has thoroughly reorganized the Militia OF
Maine, and rendered it an effective body.
A systematic record of the doings of each
company has been kept and each Is marked
and ranked in drill and efficiency. Aspirit
of emulation has been engendered, and our
Militia Is now equal TO that OF most States.
AL this has been done with much less ex-
penSe than that incurred by other States
carrying on their muster roll an equal
number OF men. Two years more Of Gen.
BearS efficient management, will place our
Militia in the front rank. How important
this matter is to Maine, will be apparent
TO all when they remember that we are
close to the Canadian border, with rail-
roads and highways over which an invad-
ing army could readily pass, in case OF
hoStilities with England. 1t is wisdom in
times Of peace to prepare for war. While
our young men can be trained in manly
and healthful exercises in the Militia, and
at the same time form an effective army in
case Of invasion, at so trifiug an expense
20 the State, it is advisable 10 carry on
this work, under the most iudicious and
thorough management. We believe that
no man could De selected to take Gen.
Beal's place who could so well carry on
the work inaugurated and now so ably
conducted.
