An Indian Girl.

She was not too tall and was finely formed,
though want of food had married the once
rounded contour of her young and shapely
limbs. Her hair was long and of a rich pur-
plish- black. Her eyes were large, lustrous,
full of natures fire and brightness. Her
eyebrows were as dark as her hair and per
fectly arched. Her lips were full and of a
vivid red. Her teeth, like those of most In
dians, were beautifully regular and brilliant
ly white, although toothbrush had never
touched them. They seemed, however, like
all Indian teeth, to have been made to eat
raw flesh. cannot better describe the appear
ance of Indian teeth. Her cheeks and her fore
head were touched with the vermilion dye
the squaws use for the purpose of personal
adornment for they, too, like too many of
their white sisters, endeavor to improve upon
nature. Her matted hair fell in long elf
locks and inextricable tangles it was virgin
of comb. She looked like a savage edition
of head have seen among Julian's crayon
studies. Her dusky arms were bare A few
brass rings ornamented her wrists. Her dress
was composed of two rectangular pieces of
dark and coarse wooden stuff bordered with
red the latter is a favorite color of Indians.
These pieces were joined at one end, place
being left open for the head to pass through.
A piece of buckskin bound them about her
waist. Her feet were small and well formed,
but truth oompels me to confess that they
were thickly encrusted with the yellow mud
of the Cienega. The nearest approach to q
washing they ever made was when her path
lay across brook which she had to ford.
Her hands, alas were covered with dirt and
clay, for it was my poor little no-heroine's
daily labor to dig up the papa, or Navajo po-
tato, with her little young fingers. I should
have hesitated to lend her my cloak or my
shawl if intended to wear it again. And if
were compelled to don it again after she
had worn it, 1 should cause it to do duty for
some days as horse-cloth first This have
learned from old frontiersmen, from Mexican
scouts, guides, ETC., removes the unpleasant
consequences of Indian wear. The perfume
of the wild red rose was not remarkably
agreeable. Judged from a dancing-school
point of view, her step was not graceful.
Like all Indians and other untutored children
of nature, she turned out her heels and
turned in her toes.

the French would more elegantly say, "une
MODESTO" would obyiate a double squeez-
ing of the vital organs, be to the eye more
decent, bring out the elegant contours more
clearly, and enables ladies going out on visits
and to hotel quarters at watering and winter
ing places to do without those cumbersome
trunks which are the plaques of all who trav-
Ell with them, and of railway porters and cab
men. The visible corset would be likely the
nominative case in grammar and govern the
toilet. 1t would enforce the absence of sur
plusage, and be the death of all the various
expedients for improving figures by
means of horse-hair and wadding. I do not
see why there might not be an inner garment
of foulard or some other light material which
would rise to the throat and cover the arms
like the muslin guimps of the Swiss dairy
maid In winter there might be a short
loose tunic, such as the Chinese and Japanese
ladies wear. Why the laees of a corset should
not be in any view any more than the laces
of corsage do not well understand I am
equally puzzled to make out why pectora1
advantages" to use a French idiom, or, in
deed, disadvantages, may be kept in view
provided a corsage is worn, and yet good
people will be shocked when they are modest
" shrouded by well gathered chemisette, if
the corset be visible. It is not the stays which
produce those pecuEarities in the upper por-
ton of stout ladies' busts, but the corsage,
which must be tighter fit in the plastic re
gion than the corset. I humbly submit the
above remarks and reflections to leaders of
fashion and promoters of reform in dress. If
1 had the technical skill of Mime. Loyson, and
the advertising power of her husband, /
should certainly open the campaign l sug-
eested against the hypocritical corset.

How Soldiers Were Laid at Rest i'm
the Days of the War.
TR ]. Burdette in Brooklyn Eagle.]
Some of the boys will remember the day
we buried Billy Taylor, private, company,
Forty-seventh Illinois infantry. I remember
it.. because it was the first time ever marched
in a military funeral, and was only boy.
I hadn't seen my nineteenth year then, and
wasn't much taller than the musket I carried.
Billy wasn't killed in battle. He had passed
through dozen fights every time the For
ty-seventh went in he was close by the col
ors, and shot or bullet never touched, but
the God of war demanded more lives than
the rifle and cannon could pile upon his reek-
ing affairs and so DEATH wearying, may be,
of the red carnage of the field, often came to
our tents to select victim for the sacrifice.
So Billy was excused from duty one day,
and sat about in the tent and tried to shake
off the sickness that came creeping over him,
and had time to write part of a letter, and
then he planned what he would do to-mor-
row.
And the next day he was excused again and
STAYED in his bunk, but it was hard, and he
could feel the knots in the board under the
blanket, and it made him restless, and he
thought if he didn't feel better tomorrow
but he knew he would---he would go to the
regimental hospital
And the next day he was better so much
better that he was pronounced we'll, and his
name was stricken from the sick list 1t was
also stricken from the company roll, and he
was marked off duty forever. Six men were
detailed for pall-bearers, corporal and eight
men for escort, and following marched the
men and officers of the company in the in
verse order of their rank.
Somehow the sunshine seemed dim and
misty, as the muf1ed drums spoke mournful-
ly, and our slow steps seemed to be marked
off by heart breaking sobs in distant home
away up in the far-away Northland. The
wailing flies breathed the pathetic strains OF
''The Land O. the Leal, until the air seemed
filed with tears

And thev---what would be the measure of
their sorrow in the stricken home. His dy-
ing kiss, his last goodbye, the loving look in
the closing eyes, the peace that death would
print upon his face---they would never see it,
they would never hear it, they would never
know it.
What wonder our soldier hearts were as
heavy as the burden on the bier, and our
tears were faster than our measured step?
And the mournful drums, in their sad mono
tone pattering like tears on coffin lid,
sobbed on like the murmurous rushing of a
troubled stream, hushing the shri1 grief of
the complaining flies, softening their cries
into the plaintive moaning of a sorrow that
has wept its violence away, and mourns with
the whispers of the plaintive night wind.

his orders. crest on---arms!" The chaplain
is reading something from the only book men
read at that time:

With broken voice he prays above the

seem to lie in the rude coffin with our com
rade
HAttention!' Shoulder--arms! Load at

How the ringing volleys over the grave,
making a thousand discordant echoes in the
woods about US, break in abruptly and harsh
1y on our grief.
''By platoon, right wheel--march Col

Cheerily the flies ring out the dancing
measures of "Garry Owen,' merrily rattle
the close-strung, spirited and inspiring
drums, with pieces at ''right-shoulder,"
gai1y back to the camp we marched.
What! we have followed the dead soldier,
and stood in tears by his lonely grave---we
have been away from the camp nearly two
hours--and the world hasn't slipped a cog;
it hasn't stood still a second. The second
relief had just gone on when we went out,
and there goes the third marching out now.

tremulous, grief-stricken, in the morning
flies. Women? Since he kissed mother, sis
ter and sweetheart goodbye, in the prairie
State, he had not heard a woman's voice syl-
liable his name. His last dying looks were
bent upon bronzed, bearded faces; and the
kind hands that dressed him for the funeral
march were hard, calloused with toll and war,
and scented only with the cartridges they had
last handled.
The voice of woman would have sounded
to him like the blessing of God, far away
from home; to die and know that at that mo-
ment, ignorant of his passing, the dearest of
earth were joyous, singing, laughing, maybe;
to die and know that the days would creep
on into the weeks, and the weeks drag On
into months, before they, whose names were
quivering ON his loving, praying lips, would
know it; to die and know that they would be
still writing letters to him, when his eyes
would be closed, and tho heart that longed
and loved, would be stilled forever. 1t is a
