The Shirt of an Aboriginal.

Over both shoulders and down the
full length Ct each arm are embroidered
broad bands of brightly colored porcU-
pine quilts, and from both arms hangs
a very heavy buckskin fringe twenty
inches in depth. At intervals along the
fringe on the left arm are woven in
scalp-locks, fourteen in number, show
ing the number of enemies that it's
wearer had slain. Hanging down at
the front and back are two pointed or
namental flaps, about eight inches long
and three broad at the top, trimmed
with fine buckskin fringe and beauti-
fully ornamented with bead-work. On
the front and back are painted or stained,
in a manner known only to the untu-
tored red, sixty representations of horse
shoes, showing the number of horses
and ponies that its proud owner had
stolen from his foes. But even a Sioux
chief, bedecked with all the gaudy trap
pings that delight his race, must him
self succumb to the grim warrior Death
at last; and small bullet hole in the
left shoulder of the shirt, with stains of
blood still visible down the front tells
plainly the manner of its former own
er's taking of.-Fargo CDak.) Repub-

She .JuJ,,Ded about a Foot.


A breach-of promise case is on trial in
New York, which for several weeks has
provided that city with considerable
amusement. Mr. Barwick was engaged to
and confidently expected to marry Miss
Mclean, a pretty heiress on Staten island
For several months they billed and cooed
hko the most fervid lovers, and then, for
some inexplicable reason, Miss Mclean S
ardor began to diminist. She met her
lover with less imprisoned kisses, mani
Tested disposition to find fault with him,
and, passing from one degree of GOODNESS
to another, she became so frigid at last as
to throw him overheard without the slight
est conjunction. The loss of this wealth
of affection and the amount of cash which
it implied induced Mr.. Barwick to bring
suit for breach of promise, fixing his dam
ages to heart and pocket at $4,000. In
the trial, the other day, the plaintiff gave
2 description of his ex-sweetheart's con-
duct when she had made up her mind to
break the engagement. "What was her
condition? asked the lawyer. I" She was
glad and excited because she mad broken
the engagement. Ny herrt is cold like
ice,' she said, and I should think you would
have noticed it long ago if you had
wanted to- She carried on and jumped
wildly" GLOW high did she jump?"
asked the young lady's counsel, About
a foot. Two or three times she jumped
out into the middle of the room just like
Bird" was the answer. Being pressed as
to the exact height of the jumps, the wit
ness said, II didn't measure the jumps.
She threw up her arms as though she was
going to fly like bird.'' Miss Mclean
would appear to be a very eccentric young
lady. A young person with a propensity
for jumping in the way described, throwing
her arms about, and generally conduct
ing herself like disorderly bird, might
not make the pleasantest companion for
life, and perhaps Mr.. Barwick is better off
without her.

forty? With this problem unsolved, how
vain is the pleasure afforded by all the
other. If any one thinks these show that
men are more willing to marry as they
grew older than women, the Herald would
suggest that Willingness to marry and
marrying are two very different things.
1t rather proves that old men are better
able to find younger women willing to
marry them. Young men very seldom
care to venture on matrimony with women
old enough to be their grandmothers, while
young women, experience shows, seem to
think great-grandfather's age is no OBJ
lection in a husband.

Joseph COOE OR Tobacco.
Boston Herald


[ do not know how l shall introduce the
distasteful topic which Mr.. Emerson
called the rage for expectoration. There
is not cuspadore in the whole of the
house of commons, or in any of the hotels
of England. What would a senator in con-
gress do in parliament? It is a disease
partly resulting from the climate, which is
much dryer than that of England. and in
India even. Enghshmen drop into our
coarseness of the habit The fact that we
can manage our churches properly shows
that We can abolish the contrivances.
Russians and Englishmen consume one
pound of tobacco per year each, and Amer
leans three pounds. There is a looseness
in our habits about the use of the weed
which we gave to the world that is not
reached anywhere except it be in some
parts of Germany, but Englishmen are
far moro cautious about the rights Of
others than We are. No man has right
to make me smoke, or to offend a whole
company of people by his habit.
l am ashamed of the good nature of
Americans on this point, and, as Herbert
Spencer told Us, we ought to be more ready
to quarrel in English fashion. We shall
resist them when it is necessary, but our
ministers have taken higher position,
and the mighty Methodist church will not
ordain a man who is an habitual user of
tobacco. have heard the greatest ora
tor of Boston express the hope that the
day would come when no gentleman
would smoke on the street. That was Wen
dell Phillips. If the gentIer half will as
sert their rights, men of good habits will
be encouraged, and men who have none
will bear a great amount of encourage
