D family of twenty-three Indian

time past at the Lincoln Institution.
Eleventh street, below Spruce, was in

by the arrival of twenty-seven girls from
the Indian Training School at Carlisle.

by order ofthe Interior Department Of
the United States government. The

IN the course of few weeks, be Joined
by twenty-five more. which will COM

in this city.
In new arrivals are apparently per.
fectiy satisfied with their new Quarters.
They ranged In age from six to twenty.
and were all neatly dressed and wore
their jet-black hair in plaits. The fifty
scholars are divided into two divisions.
each OF which goes through a regular
routine of study and work daily. They
rise at 8 O'Clock, and after break fast one
division goes to the school-rooms and
studies from 8 O'Clock until noon, the
other girls spending these hours in learn
ing TO sew, cook, and attend to the gen-
eral house work of the institution.
In tie afternoon from l o'clock until
4 the second division attends school,
and the first is instructed in the useful
branches just mentioned. Each day the
scholars are taken out for an hours
walk, but as a general thing they do not
IKE This, as they are very sensitive
about the attention they attract. On
Sundays they attend divine service at
the church of the Ascension. The hours
when they do not have 10 be in the
schooi-rooms or at work are spent in the
~play-rooms of the institution.
Some of the girls are very clever at
making dolls. which they decorate with
beads, bits of metal and strips of bright
flannel. During the day they are
obliged to talk to each other In English.
But in the hour that %intervenes between
supper and bedtime(S D. m.) they are all
lowed to converse together in their
native languages. This, however, is inl-
possible In many cases, as they repre-
sent a number of tribes, and do not un-
derstand one another's dialects, Prizes
are given at the end of each month to
those who have talked English only
during that period, and they make rap

They are reported to be bright and

Am6Rg the tribes represented by the
fifty now at the institution are the
Pawnees, Sioux, Cheyennes, Comaches
Diggers, Osages, Omahas, and Della

a large number have Christian names
and civilized surnames, but some are
still known by their Indian surnames
with a Christian names attached, the

rather amusing, as in the following

FRED DOUGLASS IN sELFDEFENsE.
A Fierce Denunciation of Statements Made
by John NJ. LangstOn.

Letter in Cleveland Leader
1t seems from an interview now before me.
published in the columns of the Herald on the
9TH inst, that Prof John VI. Langston, strangely
and without provocation, in the first hours Of
his return from Hayh, summoned home to de-
fend his son. indicted for murder in the District
of Columbia, has seen fit even before reaching
Washington. to celebrate his arrival by making
himself the guilty author of murderous assault
upon my reputation as a man and q Republican.
To his cruel charges / wish simply, through your
columns to enter plea of not guilty, and leave
your respected readers and the country, to
whom Mr.. Langston and myself are well
known, to Judge between us. When Mr.. Langs-
ton states that Frederick Douglass got up the
Louisville convention, he states what Is not true;
when he states that Fred Douglass got it up for
the purpose of gaining Cabinet position, Mr.
Langston states what is not true; when he
states that Frederick Douglass mad with
Arthur because he was not appointed
United States Marshal for the District of Column
bia, he states what is not true; when he states
that Frederick Douglass was mad with the
whole Republican party, he states what is not
true; when he states that Frederick Douglass
has announced that there is not an ounce of
black blood in his veins, he states what is not
true and what he must know is abSurdly
false; when be says that black washerwomen
have been throwing dimes in Fred Douglasss
pocket because he is colored, he reveals his NAL
ice as well as his untruthfupess, and adds to his
boundless reputation for veraeity; when he says
that Frederick Douglass caused the failure of
the Freedman's Bank the lie should have bis
tered his lips when he uttered it; when he says
sought the presidency of the Freedmen's Bank,
he uttered what the most shameless liar, who
knows the facts in the case, would have declined
to be responsible for. Mr.. Editor | am quite
aware that there is no complete defense against
falsehood. Its legs seem to be swifter than those
of the truth. Many will quote Mr.. Langston
who will not see this denial, but fling it out as
best may. and trust that it will settle, like
mantle of fire on the head of the heartless ma
hgner who has made your columns the vehicle
of his ISLANDERS. FREDERICK DOUGLASS.

A HORRIBLE PICTURE.
An Alabama Man Who Keeps Half of His
Skull in a Box.

Atlanta Constitution.
The Southern Dental journal, of this city, is
having a cut engraved of such an incredible
character that it will be difficult to convince
many persons of its genuineness. The photo
graph from which the cut is to be engraved rep
resents an old man who is sitting for his portrait
and holding in one hand the front half of his
skull.
When the beholder RECEIVERS from his first as
constituent and horror the conviction forces
itself upon him that the party sitting for the
picture is looking with one eye, his only one, in
rather admiring way upon the fragment of
skull. Beyond the old mans blindness in one
eye, he seemed to be all right, with the eXcep-
ton perhaps of his unusually bald head. After
the reporter had gazed at this monstrosity a mo-
ment he ventured to point out the absurdity of
of the picture.
THAT is just where you are mistaken" said
a gentleman present: ''the picture is as natural
as life. The man who sat for it lives near Biz
mingham, Ala Some time ago, while in an
epileptc fit he fell into the fire. his head remain
ing there about fifteen minutes. When rescued
he was so badly burned that death was thought
to be inevitable. The physicians did their best,
however. but in the course of time it found
that half of his skull, beginning under the eye
lost in the fire and extending over the top, was
loose and about to come off. skillful dentist
sawed all this portion of the skull away, and
preserved it as you see it in the picture For
tunately a thick membraneous growth had
formed under the loose skull and protected the
brain. The man is living and likely to live for
years. That is the whole case, and if you ever
90 to Birmingham you will see the only man in
the world who is able to fan himself with half of
his skull"
The dazed reporter took one more look at the
photograph and hastily took his departure.

The Indiana Vote at Chicago.

Indiana Republicans say that the solid vote of their
delegates will be east either for Gresham or Harrison
the probability being that Gresham will get it.
We find this among the political drift of a
New England newspaper 1t would be boon to
know who the Indiana Republicans are that say
the vote of the Republican delegation of this
State will be cast solidly for anybody, and, es-
pecially, where such persons find following
for the Postmaster general suficient'to warrant
a statement that it will be solid for him. The
News has been right here in Indiana for some
time, and outside the personal friends and official
benefciaries of the gentleman named, it was
never aware that his services for, or relation TO-
his party in this State had ever created a FOL
lowing that considered him seriously as presi-
Dental quantity. In case of the contamination
of any such unexpected event as that he would
have to be introduced to the people of his own

VOW OF A WRETCHED LOVER.
His Twenty Years Penance for Hasty and
Bitter Words Spoken to His Betrothed.

London Letter,
The famous deaf and dumb nic1-nack peddler

the Southwark workhouSe, near the south end
of the bridge. Despite his infrmities, he man

securing official and police favor by the gentleness
of his demeanor and the intelligence of his con

one of the hospital attendants and terrified him

and belonged to one Of the best families in the
republic. When young man, he was betrothed
to a beautiful and accomplished girl He was
possessed of a most violent temper, and in q low
erS quarrel over a trif1e one day, he so wounded
the girl by the bitterness of his invectves that
she fell ILL The reproaches of his friends for his
cruel conduct stung him so that he became mel
ancholy from remorSe, and left his home.
He then resolved to punish himself. He
vowed to become voluntary exile for twenty
years: to earn his own living, leave his fortune
untouched, keep his relatives and friends ignor-
ant of his wher eabouts and go bareheaded and
barefooted in all weather during the entire time,
and to listen to no one and speak to no human
being during the ten last years of his exile.
If he lived to complete his vow he meant to
return home and use his fortune and the re-
mainder of his days in making his betrothed
happy, providing she were alive and unmarried
He had rigidly kept his vow, but he cried
