such an occasion. Il is well understood
indeed, in society ORIOLES that tho Astors
consider the Vsnderbilts psyvenuep, and
when the latter began to build such
magnificent palaces It gave rise to the in
evitable rivalry Of wealth. Vanderbilt
has the fuest collection OF ptctures In
America, and he has gathered around him
circle Of active and progressive minds,

William II. Vanderbilt won by the ODE

rivalry between the old noblesse on the

Franklin Square, 1855.
This ia an excellent little book, bright and
funny, but without bit OF harm or coarse
ness from beginning to end. The generosity
OF the four newsboy waits to the rich mans
son,as much Waif among them, stirs the
heart.
Paul Weston rather improved on the evil
folly OF Lots wife. He not only looked, but
turned back. This from the outward bound
steamer, which was to take him and his
family to Europe. He lacked, too, 10 COM
mendable All excuse as desire to zee what had
become Of his neighbors. He only went back
after tops.
Meantime, the steamer started. Two news
boys in particular befrlended the little l0.year-
old stranger Eventually he was restored to his
father, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, that dis
trRcted gentleman having returned al once in
the pilot boat. He rewarded the newsboys i'll
princely manner There seemed nothing
irredeemsbly vagrant in their blood,
for, thanks to the start he gave them, they
became merchants Of highly thrifty and
satisfactory order The episodes, meantime,
before they and Paul came to good luck, are
mlrth-provoking in the extreme. The story

sentlng the absurd scene at the compulsory

Smith.
In his preface the author says Of his book

Indian in his patriotic efforts to
preserve his country and to drive or the

subjects OF his story, II he chooses 30 TO do
But many Of his readers, after perusing the
incidents in which the stake and other
tiendiHh instruments Of torture and destruc.
ton inflicted by the aboriginal demons figure
10 frequently, will be more apt to close the
book with profound sense OF the wisdom OF
one who has said that the best Indians are
the dead ones.
The book opens with an interesting com
pendulum of the main facts which have been
earned about the red men who aud what
they are, 10 far az information aud reason

toms, race and tribal divisions, modes OF
, living, their religious ideas and superstitionH
few OF their current legends which have
survived, their rude picture writing, their
| simple arts, their primitive agriculture
and their weapons Of war aud OF
the chase Having thus introduced the Indians
HI a race. the author takes up the story of
their conflicts with the white settlers OF this
country story which also shows the many
great wrongs to which they were subjected ut
the hands Of the pale-faced invaders who, as
a rule, unquestionably acted, from
an impartial standpoint, the roles
Of robbers and swindlers Of the
native proprietors of America. Evolutionists
will probably say that this il strictly as it
should be according TO the doctrine Of the
survival Of the titteat civilization will argue
| that inferior races which have neither the
enterprise nor the inclination to develop the
natural resources Of the lands in which they
| dwell, must expect to be pushed aside to
make room for those possessed of the knowl-
edge which is power and the will which is
inehoate possession.
In this way, step by step, Mr.. Drake retells
the old story of how the aborigines Of this
land, at first hospitable hosts, then tolerable
neighbors, finally, aggravated by injustice
and oppression, became bitter, savage, in
| human foes to the white settlers, and how,
despite their courage and ferocity, the red
men were steadily but surely beaten back
| overpowered, routed, decimated, until now, in
the states east of the Mississippi, they have
| become almost curiosities, and the few who
remain are finding themselves compelled to
withdraw from the hunting grounds and take
on the modes Of life prescribed for them by
their conquerors. We receive the book from

FACTS.

Those contemplating trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con.
suit the time tables Of the Baltimore and
Ohio road. It's celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to insure comfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change Of
Jars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
hut single change of cars to Iowa,
H,usss, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota,
u.o. No other line can offer such advan-
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-Its
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this. and in the end may lead
to tie saving of much of both as well as
money. Above all things do not pur.

When a certain Commi,sary General COM

we're not forthcoming ut a certain hour, the
Duke replied:
"Ahl did he indeed go 80 far as that? Did
he say he'd hang you?'
"Yes, my lord"
"Well, General Picton is Just the man to
keep his word. You'd better get the rations
up in time"
But to get rations or anything else up in
time one must know when to Law his hand on
them. AS Mr.. Toodles said about the coffin
