More attention is being given to

The Bad Young Man.

There is good deal Of very bad
literature in circulation. 1t is written
and printed principally to be read by
boys and voting men about the age Of
the two individuals who were hanged this
morning. 1t is sent out in the shape of
the dime novel. the cheap library" and
the weekly paper, and some of its pub
fishers have grown rich. Its fiction tells Of
extraordinary young men who hunt the
buffalo and the Indian, and whose chief
occupation it is to produce blood.
These tender adventurers carry revolv-
ers and bowie knives, and are always
in trouble and always looking for re-
venee. They know how to shoot, how
to dodge bullets, how to use the knife,
and how to knock men down and
trample upon them. La story that
had a large circulation young man
was made to take the part of a detective
to spy out the evil doings Of his own
father, and father and son were made to
meet in a large number of disreputable
places. Not that the son wished to re-
form the father, but that he wished to
show that gentleman that he knew Of
his evil doings; and not that it was
wrong for the father to misbehave, but
that the boy had right to misbehaye
too.
The evil effect of this miserable stuff
is shown in the news of every day. In
a Western State some months ago sew
eral young men were hanged for muir
ders Of the dime-novel kind. In this
city during the present week youth
supposed to be of good moral character
suddenly turned robber and took seven
ty dollars from his hard-worked moth
er. bought number Of revolvers and
tried to 90 West by way of Boston to
kill Indians. There have been and
probably there now are bands Of boys
pledged to do murder, and number Of
bands whose purpose was merely rob-
berry have been broken up. A few days
AGO some brainless young wretches
conceived the idea Of becoming fire
alarm fiends," and after bothering the
police and doing more or less damage
have found themselves in State Prison.
Is there no way to put stop to the
circulation of this villainous rotp Can
the Legislature Of this State do nothing?
Is Congress powerleSs? Nothing is so
good for boys and girls as good reading,
and the good matter that i written for
them in these days is as entertaining as
if is valuable. and comes from the pens
of the best writer's; but nothing is so
bad as bad reading, and thousands who
are on the road to the prison and the
pallows will testify that this is the case
as they reach the end of their liberty or
their careers.-N. Y. Graphic.

Indian Burials.

Among the interesting news received
from Indian Territory, is the discovery
OF an Indian burial ground of rather a
novel description. 1t is situated abont
three miles northwest of the Chevenne
and Arapahoe Agency, on high hill
commanding a magnificent view in all
directions - the Kingfsher Valley
spres DIS out towards the north and Fort
Rena stands out boldly in the. land
scap>- The burial place consists OF a
platforf- snchored to tree, the whole
being scafolding of poles set upon
twenty-three forked poles. Upon this
platform, in plain view for miles. are
the bodies of seven Cheyenne children.
each body wrapped in blanket after
blanket, shawl after shawl, and finally
an outside covering of white duck.
Each body presents the appearance of a
huge white bundle several feet long and
nearly as high, rounding at the top.
The newness Of the poles show when
the first small platform was built to the
tree and loaded with its burden of dead
humanity. Afterward platform after
platform was added as the deaths oc
CURED, until seven bodies occupy this
resting place. There will it grow until
the elements scatter them broadcast
over the ground, returning in this way
to mother earth. Upon the platform,
hanging to dead limbs. and scattered
on the ground, are various household
utensils. In view are five small pals.
cup and saucer, two tin cups, four
small cotfee-pots, a tin-plate, wash
basin. medicine pouch. hoe and an
AK. The ground for the space of ten
feet around is tramped clear Of grass
and weeds, and few feet away is the
medicine pole. with a small medicine
box at the base The dead bodies of
the two horses shot AT the funeral cere-
monies are close at hand. The Indian
belief is, the horses, blankets, etc, will
be of use to their dead in the happy
hunting-grou1ds The custom of bury
ing their dead on platforms and in trees
prevails among the northern Cheyennes,
and the well-known interpreter Bent
says lie has seen as many as thirty-fiye
children's bodies swung up in an i'm
mense cottonwood tree up north on the
Arkansas River. The prevailing Gus
tom of the Cheyennes and Arapahoes
on their reservation in this district is to
select the high point of sand-hill.
scoop out q shallow hole, and amid the
most dismal wailing and mourning
bury the body with its load of wrap
pinps few limbs of traeS are seat
tered over the newly-made grave, can
of water is placed on it, few house
hold utensils scattered around. A horse
is then shot down near the grave, few
mourning relatives haunt the locality
