How John Is Learning.

While the wind from Harlem River
was making an Eolean harp of the col
umns of the elevated railway a Chinaman
stood in the One Hundred and Twenty
ninth Street Station of the Third Avenue
Road, clad in the airy profusion of his
national costume. Time passed and so
did the trains; and the diminutive nose
of the guileless Chinese became sue
cessively red, blue and purple in color.
A train from City Hall at last rolled into
the station. A smile that was glowing
in its brightness illuminated the face of
the Chinaman. With that nonchalance,
in matters where time is involved, which
characterizes the Orientals, he sauntered
toward the gates of the train. But the
signal for starting had rung, and the
brakeman slammed the gate on the
Chinaman's feet
An expression of panied surprise
passed over the Chinaman's features.
He made no sound, but with pas seu
heeler he placed his right hand in its
most compact shape upon the nose OF
the brakeman, with sufficient emphasis
to make that worthy observe:
I'VE murtherin haythen! I'll kill
ye-ye long clawed rat ayter!''
The misery and disgrace of being
struck by Chinaman without its being
in his power to return the blow with in
terest seemed to oyerwhelm the man
Although the train was moving rapidly
away from the station, he opened the
gate, jumped off the train and made ii
dash at his assailant But the ebay
them had been trained in the right
school, for he caught the man about the
waist, turned him completely upside
| down and then bumped his head on the
station floor with grin of malicious
pleasure. There was groan by the
brakeman, a rush by the spectators on
| the Chinaman, but he, with a wisdom
beyond his country, boarded a train
that was leaving the station and was
borne away.
A reporter suggested as the victorious
Chinaman entered the ear that he had
evidently satisfied the mans desire to
fight A placid and contented smile
stole over his face as he answered:
''Ess, belly much. Me gotee wife,
She show me how to tigtee. ~. Y.

Indian Duels.

Among many tribes of American In
dians dueling exists according to fash
ion entirely their own. With many
tribes it is necessary that both the com
batants perish in all cases. thus A
member feels offended, and demands q
combat; the day is fixed and the tribes
assemble; the champions advance, the
offended man armed with rifle or shot
gun and the offender unarmed, the one
without arms uncovers his breast and
receives the missile of death, and the
other, while the offender is weltering in
his blood, presents his weapon to some
relative or friend of his dying adversary,
retreats a certain number Of PAGES,
points with his finger to the place where
his heart is seated, and receives the
mortal wound.
This mode does not prevail among
either the Choctaws or the CherOkees,
who fight their duels generally accord
ing to the 'code;'' or, at least, like many
''pale-faces' whom they have seen fall
upon the .'field of honor" And the
author is reminded, in this connection,
that in July. 1888, Carpenter, the cele-
brated Choctaw chief, fought fatal
duel near the Pine Greek Indian Agency
(Arkansas), with white man named
Price. 1t seems that the two men got
into a quarrel about some trivial matter
when Price called Carpenter liar:
whereupon the enrased chief, after look
ing calmly into Prices face, exclaimed;
Your hearts blood, sir, shall wash out
this insultr' my blood is yours, sir,
when you have the power to take it!'
responded Price, land will give you
the opportunity right heze and nowr'
No. sir, not now said the chief,
boldly; "but You must meet me at this
spot tomorrow, without fail" I'm
your man, my friend, and don't you for
get it. I'll meet you tomorrow, with
the good friend ! always carry in my
hip pocket, and any moment you name
when shall we meet?--make it early,
for [ have an engagement at the agency
in the afternoon. ''N hen the sun
shines above the top of yen trees, re.
sponded Carpenter, pointiag to wild
plum, as he spoke; lat that hour stand
YOU here and you will see me. They
then separated. The report of the quar-,
rel and proposed duel spread far and
wide, and before sunrise the following
morning large crowd had gathered
upon the spot to witness the strange en-
counter. Price arrived first on the
field He was quickly followed by Car
penter, who appeared just as the sur

The VagabOnds and Criminals Of India.

While the first outcasts robbed and
murdered and begged from necessity,
their descendants to-day do so in order
to fulfill what they consider to be SO
cial obligation. With the blindness of
the heroes of Greek tragedy, they, in an
early period, bound themselves irrevo-
cabiy to their fate by adopting distinc-
tions of caste similar to and ineXorable
as those which had wrought their wretch
edness. There are castles even among
outcasts Pariahs are, in consequences,
as jealous o. their impurity as Brah-
mans are of their purity. The priyi-
leges and restrictions of their own MAX
inc are more serious impediments in the
way of their Improvement than the en-
NIFTY of the twice born" or Hindu
aristocracy. Their vital principle of
belief is that the most objectionable of
all OffenseS is for an outcast to desert
the tribe in which he is born, or aban
don the profession of his fathers. In
their social starvation. they themselves
reject the meat and drink that could
save them. Intermarriages are as strict
ly avoided by professional criminals and
Migrants as if the laws of Manu- had been
made for them, A Hindu Thug, in the
palmy days of Thuggee, would have
died rather than marry one of his
daughters or sisters to brother muir
derer who protested the creed of Mo
manned. The Mangs. whose poverty
and squalor are unrivaled, would indig
nantly refuse Brahman who might offer
himself in marriage Among these PEG
pie, a Lazarus, while he might eagerly
seize the crumbs from Dives table,
would scruple sitting at it with him.
The Chenchwars carry their contempt
for all castles and tribes but their own to
such an extent that they declare they
live in the Jungle for the sake of health,
because there the smell of other men
cannot reach them.
The criminals estimation of the
crime peculiar to his family is a serious
realization of Falstaff's ideas as to the
moral value of his purloining OF purses:
"Why, Hal, it is my vocation! IT'S no
sin for man to labor in his VOCATION
When Thug stranger was asked
whether he never felt remorse after kill
innocent people, he answered in perfect
good faith: docs any man feel com
junction in following his trade, and are
not all our trades assigned us BY Provi-
dence?" Conscientious scruples might
as well be expected of a spider
feasting on the flies in its nets,
or of tiger devouring its human
victims. Nor are the pariah $ feelings
on the subject merely negative. The
most confirmed criminal and the
most good-for- nothing vagabond alike

Civil Lying.

hlr. Bell, ex-Assistant Secretary of
the Interior Department, recently said
to Washington Star reporter:
Il have had member of Congress
call upon me and introduce a constit-
uent He would say, Mr. Bell, this is
Mr.. Brown. OF my district, and l want
to tell you he is the best man in it.
Without him our party couldn't carry
the district. Now, l want a place for
him, and | must have it. He deserves
it, for he has done more hard and effect
i've work for his party than anybody |
know of. Now, | have never asked
you for much, because | wouldn't try
oput man on you unless he was entire
ly worthy; and do think:that when you
consider Browns claims, backed by
my earnest request, he ought to have a
place. | have promised him something,
and am determined he shall have it.
If you will just fix him, l promise not
to trouble you again for long time.
All / want is to see Brown well placed,
so that he can bring his family-and he
has 4 nice one, too-here with him
l would listen" continued the ex- official
lIu 81 w ell. MI. w. -, Ce1H L
promise you anything just now, but l
will do my very best to place your
friend. I'll look around and hope to
find something for him. Delight would
shine upon, Browns countenance. He
would begin to feel that he was very
near the object of his desire. The M.
c.. would shake hands cordially with
me and leave, urging me to act prompt
ly. Within half hour or less, in many
cases, the M. c. would come back alone
and, drawing a chair up near enough to
talk in whisper. he would say: Look
here, you mustn't think | was serious

his friends have bothered me so that

what | could for him. / do want Il
place, but I've got n man, Smith, that |
