Editors Chat.
The following inquiry is on the Editors table,
and a reply called for:
When a Young man calls to see young lacy,
should she ask him to call again when he goes
away. Also when lovers quarrel should she re-
turn his presents "A Reader of THE TRIBUNE.
Certainly, a young lady should ask a young gen.
tle1nan TO call again, if she desires him to do so;
otherwise he would be very reluctant to do So had
he any deicacy of feeling. young lady should
never urge gentleman TO call, or to stay longer
should he propose go after brief call; neither
should she urge him to call again But she may
say, Il shall be happy TO have you call again, or
Call again Mr.. smith," or words to that effect,
mOdesty expressed.
As to returning presents, we can scarcely mag
ine young lady desiring to retain presents after a
quarrel with her lover Certainly they should be
returned, unless ii is of those lovers quarres

TORTURE OF THE INDIANS.
FRIrsDs OF THE CLUB: / say the Indians have
been far worse treated than the negroes. History
is full OF the horrors inflicted upon them. When
the white people first came to this Continent the
Indians simple. good-nafured people. The
white people ii-aae slaves of them. and for the
slightest oi,eusc ihe poos Indians bands cut
of, his tongue torn out Of his mouth, he was
burnt at tie s.,ile. Then too, they given
reservations for their use, but the moment
anything OF yaIas was discovered Oh them, they
were driven away ike so many dogs. What wonder
they resisted. Tie Indians what we made
them. If we had tried William PENIS plan, in the
first place thHy would be best friends to-day,
n
trying subdue them would be useful citizens to-
day.-Gencora Kephart. Osceola Mills Pa.
DO INVENTIONS BENEFIT LABOR?
FRIENDS OF THE CLUB: lake the affirmative I
think all The inventions have for their aim
the beneltting Of aboring classes and think they
have been successful. After the invention of the
eottcn-gn by Iii Whitney, cotton was more extern
siyely cultivated, and in few wears became the
great Southern staple " lille iabarcrs were thrown
out of employment by the nrenIiol. more are now
employed IN the manufacture OF the machinery and
in the cotton nills. In Massachusetts alone in
prosperous times over 50,eee persons lind employ
With WOODEN, a. with cotton the manufacture of
cloth WAS confined households for home use
The wool was carded between two cards held in
the hands of the operator, the process being slow
and crude. H. 1874 Asa Whittcmore, Of Mas sacliu-
sets, invented a cardng machine; mills were es-
tabiished and many persons that before were idle
found work.
Iron is manufactured in every form from nail
TO a locomotive. vast number Of machines have
Dcen invented 10 carry ON these manufactures.
The cutlery, firearms, railway material and ma
chineFy made from The iron require great number
OF men to assist N their manufacture.
Is the Invention of the printing press not benefit
tolabOTers? Before it, invention books were scarce
and costly while now they are within the reach of
nearly every Iaborer in the land. Many whose
parents were too poor to allow them TO attend
school have acquired good common education by
