The Destiny of England.

The destiny of England, though we
may be the first to speak it. is at this
moment in the hands of two men-the
Marquis of Salisbury and the Earl of
Carnavon, of within a few months)
the same age. All through their aca-
demic career at Oxford, which they en-
tered together and of which the one is
now Chancellor and the other High
Steward, they were as brothers in their
friendship. As in their academic car
eer, so all through their political one
they have maintained without a NOM
ent's severance this almost romantic
friendship, When Lord Salisbury Sc
ceded from the Derby-Disraeli Minis
try, in 1866, Lord Carnavon seeded
with him, They have passed most of
their time together-the Carnavons
being at Hatfield House or the Sails
burys at Hihghclere Castle-and
their thought on all questions of the
hour is one. At Oxford, Lord Carna-
Won far outshone Lord Salisbury
though he ran distinguished career,
too being the most brilliant man
there of manv years and regarded as
the promise of future statesmanship.
But when they came to battle on the
broader field of life Salisbury proved
the stronger, chiefly in consequence OF
the excessive nervousness of Lord Car
navon in speaking, which makes it for
sometime after his opening painful to
listen to him. Otherwise his speeches
are as perfect in style as if dressed by
muses. of Falkland. These men are so

The Heathen Ohinee.
A GOOD STORY ON THE BUSINESS sHREwD-
NESS OF ONE OF TIE FLowERY
KINGDOM.

That Chinaman have more in their
heads than fine-tooth comb can bring
out, is we'll illustrated in the following
story: II was about a Mongolian in
San Francisco, who walked into bird
cage store in that city, and offered to
work a year without pay if in return
he was instructed in bird-cage making.
1t was a great offer, and the white
man Jumped at it. The Chinaman
kept his contract, and worked faithfully
for twelve months. The morning fol-
lowing the expiration of the term, the
white man was surprised to see the
shutters taken from the windows of a
long, vacant store Immediately oppo
site, and within the succeeding hour he
also saw the place taken possession of
by about twenty Cinnamon, every one
of whom was carrying as many bird
cages as he could without dropping
any. Spreading the stock in the most
advantageous way possible, they next
hung out signs announcing S4 bird
cages for 80 and dollar ones for fifty
cents. The competition was so ruinous
as to send the white man into bank
ruptcy within a month. The cages
were not stolen, but the cute Ce-
lestial all during his apprenticeship had
been running night class in cage
making down in the Chinese quarter,
and when his term ended he started
this cooperative store with his adept
pupils.

The Lancet calls attention to the
danger lurking in the practice of lick
ing adhesive stamps and envelopes, de-
claring that much local irritation, sore
tongues and kindred complaints may
be traced to this source. 1t relates a
curious illustration of the way in which
disease may be communicated. An
envelope received from person who
habitually took large quantities of NOR
phia hypodermically was reclosed by
the person who opsned it by licking
the adhesive surface, with the result of
making him violently sick. The mere
touch of tongue of the taker of morphia
had rendered the gum intensely nau-
seous. There is no excuse for licking
the adhesive surface, while the same
result can be brought about by licking
the surface on which the stamp is to be
placed. OF course exception is made
of those violently love-sick young men
who lick the surface of their sweet
hearts letter where the stamp had been,
forgetful of the fact that the colored
coachman licked the stamp and put it

A Rattlesnake's Involuntary Chase.

Mr.. John White, living a few miles
from Hawley, Pa. went out on the hills
near her house few days ago to look
the huckleberry barrens over and see
what the prospect was for the berry
season. While standing at the side OF
an old road she heard a rattlesnake
sound its rattle Immediately behind
her, and then felt tug at the skirt of
her dress. She looked around quickly,
and saw that big rattlesnake had
struck at her, and that its fangs were
fast in the bottom of her dress skirt
Mrs. White started on run for home.
The snakes fangs were so securely fas
tened in the dress that the snake was
carried along. Mrs. White ran so fast
the rattlesnake was whipped and tossed
about like the tail of kite.
The distance to the house was a
quarter of mile, and when Mrs
White reached her door she was SC
much overcome by exhaustion and
fright that she tainted on the steps.
Her daughter ran to her assistance.
When she saw the snake, with its teeth
fast in her mothers dress, she did not
stop to investigate matters further, bu,
ran screaming to neighbor's half 9
mile away. She supposed that the
snake had bitten her mother and killed
her, and so announced when she
reached the nelghbor's.
A man ran back to Mrs. Whites
She had recovered sufficiently to craw
into the house. The snake was st,l
fast in her dress, but was dead. The
thrashing on the stones and against the
ground that it had received had beaten
the life out of it. The snake was foui
feet long and had seven rattles.

THE INDIAN AND HIS RIGHTS.

A few centuries ago the Indian trod
the forests and plains of America as
the "Monarch of all he surveyed"
Where now lofty chupsh spires rear
their heads to heaven, and their bells
sound the summons TO the worship of
the God Of Christian and Hebrew,
there in the glory of his war paint, and
the splendor of his plumage, the savage
warrior lifted up his voice to the great
Manitou The land was his by birth
and by occupancy, and was taken from
him gradually, but surely, by civilized
oppression. The shores of the Allan
tic bounded his domains on the east,
and the great rivers that are now the
highways of commerce, were disturbed
only by the ripples made by his bark
canoe. From point to point he was
driven by the white invaders from over
the sea, robbed of his hunting grounds,
despoiled of his property, and finally,
after years and years of neglect by the
government that has usurped his do
main, he finds himself cooped up on
limited reservation on the great plains
of the west.
All this has been said before and
much more like it, and the long dis
puted question as TO whether the white
man had the right to take possession
of the Indians territory, we believe
has never yet been permanently set
lied by the school debating societies.
1t is only recently that efforts have
been made to christianize and cisilize
our red brethren of the plains, by the
establishment of schools for their edu-
cation, and many boys and girls have
been taught the ways of the whites at
these establishments, and have gone to
their rude homes to tell what they have
learned, and to instil in other youth a
desire to live like civilized people. Thus
gradually are the few fragments of
many mighty tribes being netamor-
phosed into intelligent and US full citi-
zens. 1t is unfortunate that when these
young redskins appear IN civilized com
munilies dressed like white men, acting
like white men, and looking to white
men for good examples, that they
nave ilol csCdptu IIoih All ehNaSc hnah-
ners by coming east. 1t has occurred
that they have been jeered at, whoop,
cd at in imitation of savage war crie',
laughed at and insulted. 1t has oc-
CURED in distant towns it has occur
red in Bloomsbury. ......
Those who indulge in this sort of
pleasantly should remember that no
one has better right TO tread upon
American soil, than those whose an
ceslors were the kings of the forests
thousands of years before the Caucas-
ian came. They should also Iemem-
be- that the Indian who behaves him
self with d'corum on the public steeet,
i~ better American citizen, though
nnaluralzc than the white man who
,aus l,ssiy insults him. When we see
,ome things, We no longer wonder that
the savagc Indian of the plains scalps
Mhite man every time the opportu
nifty is offered. Aud sometimes he docs

The Postal DEPARTMENT.

Some of the criticisms and com.
ments on the new postal rates-and
all postal reductions and reforms-in.
dulge the apprehension that the lower
postage fees will reduce the revenues
of the postoffice department, increase
the anual DEFICIENCIES beyond their pres.
ent figure, and leave the system, say
$4,000, 900 or 100000 from self-sup-
port.
Certainly this is no very serious mat
ter. The postoffice department is the
one of the most general convenience.
The Transmission of the news and let
ters of the people affects every COM
munity and interests every citizen. 1t
reaches to every crossroads and pene.
trates the remotest corners of the count
ry. In the more populous sections, it
is far more than all the expenses OF
postoffices and post routes. The de-
ficiencies result from the large expense
of getting meagre amount of mail
matter to the far distant portions of
the country. This the government
ought to pay for, upon the same prin-
ciple thai It supports the army, the
navy and the other bureaus of public
service.
