How to Make Money.

Two prisoners in the Texas Peniten.
tiary were talking about the manage.
ment of the institution.
"They say this institution amt self.
supporting" remarked convict No. l.
@That's because it amt managed
properly. If I had charge, it would
not only be selfsupport;ng but it
would make money besides"
"Yes, you brute, you would work the
poor prisoners nearly TO death, so as to
make money out of ti,em,"
mo, I wouldn't; I'd do most of the
work myself. All I want is the mate
rails and the implements, and I'd turn
out silver half-dollars faster than you
could count them. Just give me a
chance, and this institution VIII lust
coin money. s-Teras Siftings.

Wick. the celebrated florist, has
these sensible remarks in reference
10 fashionable flowers" OF all
personal ornaments flowers are the
most precious-far too valuable and
everlasting to be spoken of In the
same breath with the productions OF
the jeweler or milliner, and yet We
are told tina, orchids are the fashion
able bridal bouquets, because some
one or two daughters OF miliionaires
carry them. Very often nothing
less graceful or more inappropriate
could be chosen. The idea with
many seems to be simply TO find the
most rare and unique species OF
natural flowers. independent of
beauty; IL they cost much and are
rare, that is quite sufficient The
overstrained effort always betrays
itself. and orchids were never yet
more highly valued by people OF re-
fined tastes than were the wild violet,
or the hedge rose. No Chsucer, no
Herrick. no Wordsworth, has sung
of the orchids as they have sung oil
daisies, OF dafiodils. or Of the modest
snowdrop. but they have often been
exhibited as the fiasnting decorations
of those who have no higher sppreci-
alton Of them than that they were
costly and so to some extent the en-
sign OF wealth. What pity II Is
that any one class OF flowers should
become fashionable, just Is IL all

EAgIY HISTORY,

f. 4. Butterworth, Of Centralia,
contributes the sketch following to
the Chehalis Nugget
In the summer OF ls45 Sidney s.
Ford and family and Joseph Borst
crossed the plains from Missouri, and
arrived in Oregon. In the spring Of
AZ, they crossed the Columbia River
and came TO Ford's Prairie, two
miles from here. where they each
took farm Of $40 acres as dona-
ton. Settlers at that time were very
few, and the country full Of Indians.
The nearest place where supplies of
any kind could he obtained was Van
couver, 100 miles from here, the trip
being made to the Co slitz River on
the Indian trail, and from there by
canoe, the time taken 10 make the
trip varying from one to two weeks.
Grist mills were unknown in the
country, and for several years the
only flour had by these and other
families was made by the slow and
tedious process of grinding wheat in
a coffee mill 4 mill WAS in time
put up at rumwater. but on small
scale, and the trail being bad from
two to four days had TO be consumed
in making the trip. One of Mr.
Ford's sons residing here tells me
that he old not have pair of shoes
TOR ten or twelve years after coming
here, the Indian moecaSins doing
service in their place This was not
from poverty for times were good
and money plenty, but shoes conld
not be had. The Chehalis or Flat
head Indians at that time possessed
the country, there being about 200
cedar stocksde houses of theirs on
Ford's Prairie. They did not know
the value of time, and would labor
hard all day for button, and q
weeks work was counted well put in
II the reward was cheap shirt. II
probably will be surprise TO most
people to know that Mr. Ford at one
time owned q slave, but such was the
case he purchased for pony, a cap
tive that had been held as slave. by
Flathesd Indian that had died,
thereby saving the slaves life, as the
custom WAS on the death of an Indian
to kill his fsvorite horse and his
slaves at his burial. This slave was
owned by Mr.. Ford for two or three
years, and WAS then released About
1851 the smallpox broke out among
the Indians and took them of rapid
". Their remedy for this dread dis
ease was harsh and not very effective.
A hole was dug in the riv-r bank,
and over this house of boughs was
built. Into the hole hot stones were
thrown and covered with boughs
aud dirt the Indians would then
strip naked and one of them going
into each of the sweat houses would
remain there until in profuse per
spiTation aud covered with eruptions
then run and plunge headlong into
the cold water, some OF them to
come out and recover. others too
weak to get to the bank would float
down the stream TO death. After
death came burial. which consisted
of putting the body into canoe and
elevating it to platform where 1t
was left TO the tender mercies OF the
vulture. After the smallpox scourge
Mr.. Borst burned about 100 of these
bodies at one time. The village of
the Indian has disappeared and the
time of the occupant is short Only
a small remnant is left of them, oc-
cupyiug the reservation on the bank
of the stream they loved 50 well.

II appearsto be theeentiment OF the Re-
publican party Of New York State that a
a high license plank should be inserted
in the platform at the approaching con-
yention. Rev. Howard Crosby writes to
the Rochester, N. Y. Post fsvoring
the insertion of such plank, "be-
cause" he says, "the Republican party
has made and viii make allits real gains
by the advocacy Of practical moral re-
form.p This is the qrestionin nutshell.

to theopinions ofsuch men as ReVs. Crosby
and Beecher, and other ministers who,
while they would like to SEQ prohibition
at the same time SEQ the utter tntility oil
the scheme, or, as Beecher says, absolute
prohibition is an absolute impossibility."
The traffic will exist no matter how many
laws are enacted prohibiting it. Tbs fact
recognized, and no honest prohibltionist
will deny 1t, is 1t not bstterto regulate itby
practical laws and make it pay its share OF
the tax burdens than to permit it to be
carried on in an illegal manner with all
the attendant evils and compel the,psople
to pay the charges that would otherwise
be obtained through wise license law.
The people of Ohio have had some ex'
perience with the practical side OF this
question, and some honest thinking Re-
publicans were drawn from their party
allegiance through the false promises OF
designing Democrats. We do not think
they will be caught in the same trap
again. The fact established that the
traffic will exist, why not make it pay It's
share Of the expenses Of government? 1t
is both fair and reasonable, and high
license is the only practical method oil
controlling the traffic.
