Those curious depressions of the soil
known as sinks have attrac' eli the at
tention of scientific men, and form
one of the features of the country to
visitors. T mid peop'e are afraid of
them, but ! do not see any difference
between them and the natural dcprcs-
sons one meets with in all wooded
countries. Some times an acre will
commence to sink toward the center,
and year after year the depth increases
until it reaches its loves point and
stands still. Some OF these places are
wonderfully bca ti.ul, being covered
with a iuXuriant underground of bush
vegetation, shaded by immense trees
garlanded with grapeyines and asmine,
and charminSly draped with the beau
tiful moss of this country, with perhaps
at the base a pool OF clear water

Tatto0ing Among Alaska Indians.

A man who had passed much time
trapping and hunting in Alaska, says:
Although the Yukon Indians have
abandoned many of their old customs,
under the teaching Of occasional mis-
sionaries, all OF them still keep to the
queer habit of tat DOING. The way they
DO this is different from any ever saw
or heard Of Instead of pricll,ng the
stuff in with sharpened bones or
needles, they make paste out of char
coal and grease soak Il thread IN it,
punch needle through the flesh so
that it comes ont at a different hole
from the one where iJenrered, and then
draw the thread through under the
skin. The opcrat on is painful. for the
flesh swclis up and 10 Ks very much

WE ARE GETTING THERE.

There is an old saving 10 the effect
that it is hard to learn an old dog new
tricks, and We think it applies to man
as well as to the canine family. For
nearly thirty years We have been blow
ing our Republican bugle and hurrah-
ing for Republican doctrines, and we
find it rather difficult matter to throw
aside these old ideas and habits, and
take up and properly sound the Dem
ocratic bazoo, and TO take up the new
refrain, and give forth at the outset a
first class Democratic shout. But since
Mr.. Cleveland has been declared elect
ed, we propose to stand by him, at
least 50 long as he does nothing very bad
and we have been tenting by the side
Of the roaring cataracts of the foaming
Pokagana, practicing on the Hurrah
for Cleveland and Hendricks racket,
until We have got the thing pretty well
under control, and can get the Cleye-
land part very well, but the Hend-
ricks part comes out with sort of
sickly gurglc that does not sound we'll
at all, and we don't yet use it in pub
lie, but we are bound to overcome
even as we have been overcome, and
will have it all right in time. We
think it is the recollection of those
war speeeaes made BY Mr.. Hendricks
some years ago, that kind Of chokcs us
when we try 20 hurrah for him, and
now we are trying to forget those
speeches, just as brother Beccher, and
brother Curtis, and brother Slayton,
and brother Bond, and some Others
have done, aid then we know we shall
be all right and get along nicely.
The Democratic party, with Mr..
Cleveland at it, head, and as sponsor,
has made to the people Of this country
come very good and glowing promises,
and if that party will now proceed TO
do what it has promised to do, it Will
be a good enough party for us to be
long to- The leaders Of the Democratic
party tell lis that free trade will make
this the most prosperous and wealthy
nation on the face Of the earth, and
that through the administration Of that
party we shall have free trade, and
this free trade business is just what we
want if it will do for us what the Dem
ocrats say it will do If free trade
will bring wheat up to 4 dollar a bush
ell and flour down to four dollars per
barrel; il free trade will give the com
mon laborer three dollars a day and
sell him Il suit Of clothes for ten dol
lars that now costs him twenty dollars,
if free trade Will do all this and much
more, as we are told it will do, then
free trade is just what we want, and
if the Democratic party is the Moses
that has been appointed to lead US up
to these pleasant places, all right, and
we will vote to keep it in power, 50
long as it provides such good things
for US. In any event we propose to
be Democrat enough to give the party
managers a chance TO make good their
promises. They have no excuse for not
doing what they have promised to do,
If they do it well we can all afford to
Join the Democratic ranks.
