1T is quite evident from Instances which float
to the surface every now and then that many
foreigners who come to this country are disal,-
pointed and dissatisfied with the quality of The
liberty which they are permitted to enjoy The
liberty which prevails is of the sort that they
had expected to be favored with-ndeed, iU
often turns out not to be liberty at all-and the
result is q deep disgust for this socalled free
country. AS a general thing these opinions are
of no consequence, the individuals who cherish
them not being valuable acquisitions to society
but it would be better for all concerned could
their enlightenment come before they leave Gheir
fatherland. There is the case of the young Rus
sian who fed from home to New York and was
arrested there for having robbed his employer
OF a large sum of money. He had taken no
pains to disguise himself, and had not even
changed his name, but was greatly astOnished

BY the death of Hugh J. Hastings, editor
of the New York Commercial Advertiser
another prominent figure of the days of
Seward, Weed and Greeley passes away. Mr..
Hastings had been connected with newspa-
pers more than forty years, and was at all
times an unfagging worker. His writing
was characterized by directness and force
and when once he espoused a principle or a
cause he gave it vigorous and unceasing sup
port. He was intimately associated with
Weed and Seward, and received his full share
of hard knocks so plentifully showered or
those distinguished men. Mr. Hastings be-
came editor of the Commercial Advertiser in
1868, and under his management che paper
has grown to be valuable piece of property.

When the general Government sought
to remove the Indians to their reserva-
tions, many of different tribes fled into
the everglades, and it is estimated that
TOO or 800 are now living there. Only
80 appear on the rolls of the census,
because no census officer has been able
to penetrate the wilderness, The so
Indians WHO appear upon the census
rolls are those who come out to trad ;
but it is known that the large majority
are aVerse 10 trading or mlngllng with
the whites. Indian hunters come out
with bear, deer and panther skins,
showing that the everglades must con-
tain good hunting grounds. A number
of negroes, say thirty or forty, are
known to be held by the Indians. They
speak the Indian tongue, wear the dress
OF Indian women, and are made TO do
the women's work. These negroes ART
evidently the progeny OF runaway
slaves, who escaped before or during
the civil war, and are still held in slave
ry. Only one missionary ever attempt

lamatlon into the everglades; he left
the border OF the Indian country with
great speed. A few months ago Chiel

of his colored servants, and brought
him into Fort Myers to offer him toi
sale, When informed that the negroes
were all free he eiaonlated, "Whitt
mans nigger mebbe free, but Indians
niger, no." Whereupon Tiger Tai
grasped the darkey by the nape of the
neck, pushed him into the canoe anC
padded back to the everglades. The
Seminoles are quite jealous OF any in
reference with their domain and viii
not serve as guides through their couut

that an Indian boy, who has been raise,

conveyed Sans to the New York Hos
pital, where he died SIX hours later
without recovering consciousness.
The story told by Hartman was that
Sans and another man entered the gal
lery with the women. and Sans fired
three shots from Ballard rifle OF twen-
ty-two calibre. Tue men were under
the influence OF liquor but the women
were sober. After shooting at pipe
with success, Sans offered to bet Jennie
Mitchell sc that she could not hut the
pipe. She dld not want to shoot but
he insisted and showed her how to hold
the rife. As she appeared awkward
in its use, he bantered her. They were
laughing and she turned towards HIM to
say:-"Now let me Alone" and as she
turned the rifle was discharged and
Sans fell to the floor. She seemed un-
able to undeIstsnd what had happened
for a time, and then she became frantic
with grief. The young man who was
with Sans tried to lift hlm from the
floor. Then he said he would go for
policeman and he was not ssen in the
place again. Alice Sinclair made 81
milar statement TO Harriman's. Jennie
Mitchell said she had known Sans for
about four years. She had met him
while visiting in Savannah and he wan
ted her to marry him. He was clerk
there at the lime. She afterwards fre-
quently met him.

The Bridge "A Failure.

A letter from Brooklyn, says: The
Brooklyn bridge is a failure, and the
people of New York and Brooklyn re-
grand piece of engineering-it is simply
magnificent by day and night, but it
doesn't fill the wants of the people.
Between $50 and A. NJ, and the
same hours at night, thousands of the
poorer people use the bridge in coming
from Brooklyn to their work and re-
turning home again, but the vast mass
of the people cross by ferry. 1t is no
fault of the bridge that people do not
use it, but on anything save pleasant
calm day the elements make a walk
over the structure very unpleasant il
not really hazardous. A slight breeze
on earth means a hurricane on the
bridge. During a blow on Sunday a
woman crossing had very narrow es-
cape from serious injury. The wind
caught her clothes and sent her whirl-
ing almost over the fence dividing the
promenade from the cable-car tracks.
And this is merely one of hundreds of
similar incidents reported. To be sure
there are cahle-cars running on the
bridge, hut they are few in number and
mighty uncertain in their time of GO
ing. So. all things considered, "a person
going to Brooklyn from the New York
city hall can make time by cutting
down Fulton street and taking the old
ferryboats. There is but one thing to
do. Quit fooling with the impractical.
BILE cable cars, running by friction
wheels on elevated cables-and run
trains Of four to ten cars oVor the bridge

not in the sense the newspapers meant
The elevated roads at first struck s
severe blow at the surface roads, and
frightened the small stockholders of the
latter class into giving up their hold
ings, which were promptly gobbled by
the big fish, and they in turn bough
heavily of elevated stock, so that TO
day both systems of roads are virtually
owned by the same men, and whateve
they may lose out of their left hanC

The fact is that going West has ceased
to be the serious undertaking that it
was twenty years ago. There are yet
to be encountered, of course,
and 1t requires industry and economy
to accomplish anything; but it is no
longer a flight into the desert and a
farewell to civilization. Some Of the
luxuries of life must be dispensed with
for season, but all necessary comforts
and conveniences are within reasonable
reach, and the luxuries never fail to
come along as soon as the conditions
for their enjoyment are provided. A
man cannot succeed there or anywhere
else unless he is willing to strive and
save and study to invest his time and
his gains to the best advantage. But
he need not make slave Of himself; he
need not destroy his health, and he need
not miss fair measure of happiness.
The opportunities are still abundant
and inviting, notwithstanding the great
number of people who have gone West
since the war, and it is quite proba BILE
that the immigration will not stop as
long as unreclaimed prairie remains

enterprise enough to change their resi-
dence for the sake Of heGteCing their
