When Widows Are Most Dangerous.

The second year is that in which the
widow is really happy. The somber
depths of mourning cast aside, she en-
ters the world again and reopens her
Jewel case. Even with a very becoming
| widows cap.on, life is more or less
blank to a woman If she cannot wear
her jewels. Now, however, the dia-
monds, opals and pearls may appear,
and with what delight are they not
worno Visions Of dresses in delicate>
half-tints, pearl-grays, soft lavanders,
| mixtures of white and gray or black and
white float before her mind, soon to be
realized. Her years absence from balls
and parties and crowded rooms has re-
neWed her beauty, and the same retire
ment has frightened hereyes and tinged
her cheek with the freshness Of enjoy
ment with which she prepares to enter
the world. Now indeed, IS the fash
ionable widow 4 dangerous and seduct-
i've creature. She knows that she is
prettier than ever, and the conscious
ness makes her more certain Of coming
victories, gives q genuine softness to her
manners. Beware Of widows in their
second year! Always dangerous, they
are then more SO than ever. Light
hearted as a girl, she feels younger every
day, and from her own point Of view,
there IS no more enviable being to be
found than n young, handsome, rich and
lively widow, whose heart is not incon-
veniently soft, nor her feelings too acute
to prevent her going through her life
"Well pleased and careless" and extract
ing from it as much Of the pleasure and
as little Of the pain rs may fall to the
share Of any mortal creature.

SAUCY INDIANS.
Taking Horses from the Mounted Police
and Killing Cattle.

\ RIVER PRESS representative ran
across Il gentleman Friday who had
just arrived from Fort Macleod. OF
course ii was natural to ask the news,
and the answer was that there was no
news. Buta little iudicious questioning
disclosed the fact that the indians up
there were getting. pretty saucy. \ day
or two before the gentleman left a party
Of mounted police cut out Il lot of horses
at the Blood Agency which had been
stolen from white men, but the Indians
did not propose to stand that kind of 4
racket, and cut them back. They say
that at Fort Walsh the Indians took
horses which the police had cut out, and
they guessed they could get away with
the same game. One Indian came into
Tom Hamilton's train camp on the road
from Macleod and asked one of the boys
for whisky He told him he had none,
when Mr. Indian called him liar. The
Indians at the Blackfeet Agency, we are
told, are even worse, and pay very little
attention to the agent or the employees
Of the agency. AS an instance, we are
informed that lot Of cattle were driven
III to be slaughtered, and the Indians
took them away and killed them them
selves, taking what they wanted. It is
also said that they make themselves
very free with the agency herd, and that
as many as forty-five head have been
killed at one time. Parties who are
posted say that if the present state Of
affairs. continues there will be nothing
laftsofAtl4e herd in less than two years
T. Indiai.. say they will not bother
outsiders, but that they will make it
decidedly unpleasant for the parties at
the agency We asked the gentleman if
there was any danger Of q general out
break. He said the whites in the north
were not at all uneasy on that score.
They seemed to anticipate a good deal
Of horse stealing, but no outbreak of hos
tilities. When we inquired what the
consequences Of general outbreak
would be, he said that if the Indians
would act III concert the whites up north
would not last a day, but gave it as his
opinion that the Indians lacked the
Sand" to try it; that if there was any
trouble it would likely arise from a
sudden impulse, without any concerted
plan, and would subside as quickly as it
commenced. He did not look for any
trouble Of the kind, however.

How to Get q Wife in India.

When a man III decent rank Of life
wishes to marry and can prove that he
possesses the means Of maintaining a
wife, IL is customary for him to apply to
the mistress of the Byculla school, state
his wishes and qualifications, and in
quire into the number and character of
the marriageable girls. An investigation
Immediately follows as eligibility, and,
if all promises satisfactorily, he is forth
with invited to drink tea with the school
mistress upon an appointed evening, to
give him an opportunity of making his
selection The elder girls are then in
formed of his intended visit and its plr-
port, and those who desire to enter the
matrimonial lists come forward and sig
Nifty their wish to join the party. FIRE.
qllently four or five competitors make
their appearance upon these occasions in
the mistress room. The gentleman,
while doing his best to make himself
universally agreeable, yet contrives, in
the course of the evening to make his
preference for one particular lady.
Should these symptoms of building
affection be favorably received, he ten
ders his proposals in due form on the fol-
lowing morning. But it often occurs
that the selected lady does not partici-
pate in the inamorata's sudden flame, III
which case she is at perfect liberty to
decline the honor of his alliance, and re-
serves herself for the next tea-party ex-
hibition.
We have known an instance when an
amorous old gentleman from an out
station presented himselft three successive
times at these soirees in the hope of OBJ
tanning a wife to cheer the solitude Of his
up-country residence, but all in vain;
the young ladies unanimously rejected
him with the highest disdain, wonder
ing "hoW such al ugly old fellow could
have the impudence to think of a wife?'
But very different reception is given to
the dashing young sergeant or smart
looking conductor; their attentions are
never repulsed, and the announcement
of the "chosen intended as Miss
Squeers would say, is anticipated with
the utmost impatience by many an
anxious young heart The wedding
speedily follows, the brides modest
1trousseau' being provided from the
funds Of the establishment, and every girl
in the school cheerfully contributing her
aid in the manufacture Of the dresses.

The Discussion.

| On last Friday night, two colored clergy
men, Rev. w. L. Sanders, of Mineral Point,
and Rev. j. T. NJ. Lindsay, of Ironton, met
at Zion's Hill to discuss Christian baptism.
The meeting was called to order by Rev.
John w. Jackson, after Rev. Lindsay had
played and sung piece of music. By re-
quest of the Chairman, Mr.. Moses Lacks Of
fered prayer, which was earnest, humble,
sensible and very much to the point. The
Chairman then announced hymn, "Only a
| Step to Jesus" After the singing, the
Chairman announced the proposition for
discussion. SIS baptism by immersion the
only Christian baptism!' and Rev. Lindsay,
on the affirmative, stepped to the front. 1t
is very evident that he honestly believes
what he says. He stated his position prompt
ly and squarely, and entered on the work OF
proof. The greater portion of his address
was read from manuscript, and consisted
of the views of Alexander Campbell, as pre-
scented in his debate with n. l.. Rice, made,
if possible, little more ultra by Rev. Lind
say, who is an earnest and really good
speaker. He was followed by Rev. Sanders
in a written speech, defining the opposite
views, but not specifically answering several
questions proposed by Rev. Lindsay, whose
positions We're skillfully turned. The first
round was fought OH the skirmish line; the
second round was the real battle.
Rev. Sanders is a fine orator and man OF
genial spirit. He belongs to the Methodist
Church, but in his presentation of his views,
blue restocking Presbyterianism came to the
front, and the fighting was very close, skill
full, and hard on both sides. Rev. Lindsay
became confused, and, to a small extent, lost
his temper under the close and murderous
fire of his opponent. 1t is due to him to say
that whoever takes his ground, filings the
gauntlet into the very teeth of a large per-
centage of the Christianity of the world, and
must expect to be thoroughly searched. 1t
is also due to him to say that the spirit of his
idea is from necessity narrow and may very
easily become bitter, yet he has but very
little of that bitterness.
The discussion from first to last was very
creditable to all concerned. Whilst it was
vigorous and earnest, it was entirely gentle
manly and courteous, and will do good in the
following ways: Our colored brethren show
ed that they are seeking 4 religion based on
solid reason, and that in order to reach this
their spiritual teachers are able and willing
to hook at each other in the face, squarely,
vet CONSCIOUSLY, and give II reason for the
hope that Is i'm them.
As a speaker, Rev. Sanders is Il full match
for any recognized clergyman i'll Arcadia
Valley. Rev. Lindsay is Il strong-srfsn. and

would be stronger if stripped of the strait.
tjacket of narrow and exclusive creed, and
brought into more complete fellowship with
general Christianity.
About one hundred and twenty live people
listened to the discussion, with admirable
order, good humor, and great attention.
Each speaker was allowed two speeches, and
one hour and a half of time, and divided his
time to suit himself. This was an excellent
arrangement. As the reporter has fought
over the whole ground involved, half dozen
times, he was perfectly at home all through
the discussion; and after the discussion was
over, he asked the disputants a few questions
to give them food for thought.
The reporter of the REGISTER was present
by special invitation, and hereby thankfully
acknowledges the receipt of every possible
courtesy. The discussion closed at II 40 p
NJ. with kind feelings all around. Z. G.

Every Iron county farmer who
spends $500 year for goods at the
stores, pays the enormous tax of $l26
in the way of tariff. Of the S126 the
Government gets $50 and the New
England manufacturers get SlO6. If a
Missouri farmer could buy his goods in
Canada-outside of the United States
he would only pay STA for the same
articles which he must pay $500 for in
the United States. The Canadian mer-
chant makes more money by selling
the goods at STA than the Missouri
merchant does by selling them at $500.
How long will the Western farmers
stand this?

It is plain that the American people
'sympathize with the Irish and Egyp-
tians in their struggle against England
by large majority. And yet it is
painful to observe that there are a few
lonesome newspapers in this country
who continually insult public opinion
by applying such terms as "Serfs OF
Fenians," "rascals," 'blackguards'
and "dyncmite devils" to those who
resist their British oppressors.
