Family Lie in siberia.

Ny village chief was silent and shook
his head doubtfuily. The fact was, the
nearest village was ten miles away. The
family, satisfied with his livestock and
his crops, and satisfied with his taxes,
and over-populatlon was apparently the
only thing which he and bis peers on
ceiyed needed to be set Alright. On this
point we should remember that not
nearly all the land is yet taken up, and
that many of the farms are large as,
and sometimes larger than, the most
extensive German man0rs Even a
spoiled American farmer would be sat
isfed with such al area In the midst
of these extensive estates stands the
spacious log house, surrounded with
barns and sheds. which, possibly, are
not large enough. Hardly anything is
large enough for the Siberian. | have
made personal confirmation of this greed
for extension and space in the towns,
where 1t is often carried to excess; thus
| have seen pariors where the mirrors
and sofas could be counted by he doa-
Ell. IN bright contrast with the stere0-
typed complaints OF the farmers con-
corning the too thick population is the
fact that they are all proud of having a
numerous progeny. The farmer loves
his laRd, his cattle, his summer and fall,
but he loves above everything a large
family, while, notwithstanding his pre-
judice against strangers, he lives in the
perfect conviction that the country
needs men, and hs governs his conduct
accordingly. In every other country In
the world there are founding hospitals;
in Russia they are numerous, but in ST.
IBERIA there are none. If a mother is not
able to take care of her child she will
offer it to the nearest farmer, and he will
be glad to have such an increase In his
family as if it were a fine colt foaled to
him.

There is a moments hesitation-a
moment in which Lord Barrowes expe-

then the sweet eyes, that had dropped
beneath his ardent gaze, look up, slowly
timidly, into his own.
Reading In theiI depths a passionate
unspoken %yearning, she thinks of his

her, a simple girl, of restoring happiness
and sunshine to that noble, loyal heart
and with a sudden thrill Of Joy she gent

HOW THE BABY GROWS


Nobody sees the baby grow,
Baby dear with laughing eyes,
Who came TO our house a year ago,
Looking ever so wrinkled n wise;
But every day Of the happy year
He has taken upon him some beauty new
And as for growing, why this is clear,
He's never had an ything else TO do.
Grandma says, "When he's asleep,
Then il is that the baby grows.
Close to the crib we often creep
To watch. but we don't think grandma
knows.
Never a fringe of the golden hair
Clustering soft around his brow
LeuRthens the least when We are there,
And yet it is ~growing-the wonder, now2
Teacher talks of chemical things
Which into a secret of life combine.
And mother, listening, softly sings.
20 God, be good TO this boy Of minel
And in the sunny summer days
Or in the winter evenings cold
She weayes the notes of her joyous praise
While closely about him her fond arms
fold.
Nobody sees the baby grow,
But over his rosy little face
The prettiest ripples of laughter flow.
The dancing dimples merrily chase,
The tiny feet are learning TO walk.
The rounded limbs are growing strong,
The lisping tongue is learning to talk,
As cheerily pass the days along.
Nobody can explain it at all,
But one thing to our thought Is clear;
God, who sees if a sparrow tall,
Sent our beautiful Oaby here,
And mother cares for him day and night
'Tis easy enough when she loves him So
And God, whenever she puts out the light,
Just looks in and makes him grow.

How they Teach Indians.

Access to the original report of Sup
erintendent John II. Oberly on the In-
dian Industrial School at Chilaco, In
dian Territory, discovers the existence
of a much worse state of affairs than the
synopsis prepared by the Indian De.
partment for reference indicated. Sup
erIntendent Oberiy says the male pupils
are rendering much assistance in farm.
ing and gardening, but they are not be-
ing instructed in the pursuits of farm
ing. They are being taught mechanical
operations. AT table the children serve
themselves with eager fingers to the bad
food within their reach. Under the
Superintendent who preceded DR.. Min.
thorn, the present Superintendent, the
affairs of the school fell into confusion,
until its very existence was threatened.
DIR. Minthorn has brought about a de-
gree of order. He has increased the
membership and made many improve
ments, but there is yet much room for
reform. The industrial school lacks
nearly everything that an industrial
school ought to have. In 1883 O herd
OF 425 cattle was purchased and de-
livered to the school. This was intended
W supply ai phO OpOi ACoCSonAJ AV
the end of two years there are in the
herd only 28S COWS and heifers, and ex-
posture and disease are rapidly dimin-
ishing that number. There is not OF
the school land any where a shop in
which a pupil can learn q trade, al
though it was the intention of the pro-
~isctors of this school to teach the
trades. Congress, at the last session,
appropriated 50, 600 for this purpose,
and superintendent Ooerly suggests the
erection of a barn in order to supply
partly the need mentioned. Better -four
aud an occasional change from beef are
recommended. In regard to the -four
used. Superintendent OberIy says it is
moldy and sour, and unfit for food for
human beings. At the best not enough
good food is furnished to the Indian
children. They are allowed no butter,
although there are fifty or sixty mich
COWS. They are allowed nc chickens or
eggs, although thousands "a fowls could
be kept without expense. They have
no sugar and no dainties. With good
bread they might endure all the other
shortcomings. Superintendent Oberly
says the children should not be re-
quired to pray "Give us this day our
daily bread" while they are hui fed.
The civilization of the Indian cannot,
he thinks, be accomplished while their
stomachs are abused.

sc plurlDus Unum.~

1t is a somewhat curious fact that the
words "E. Plurbus Unum,n which
have appeared on different United
States coins, and IN the Standard silver
dollar, we're never authorized to be so
placed by law. They were first used on
coins in 1856. There was no United
States Mint then, but there was a pri-
vate at Newburg, and the NOTICE of
the United States was first placed on a
copper coin struck at that mint. A
very few collections have specimens of
this coin. They are very valuable. In
1887, a goldsmith named Brasher coined
a piece which was known as the SIG
gold piece, and the NOTICE, placed in
this form, "Unum Z Pluribus," was
stamped upon it. The coin is worth
to day $4,000, and only four are known
to be in existence. In 1877 the NOTICE
also appeared on various copper coins OF

BUILDING COMMENCED.

a look about the city reveals the fact that
though the snow has just to day made its
(perhaps) final bow for the season, winter
can hardly be said to be over, and though
the weather is not suggestive of outdoor
work, yet building has begun in, what indi-
cations would suggest as promising TO be,
one of the greatest building years in the his
tory of this city. Yesterday jaunt about
town revealed coatless mechanics with ham,

RIGHT TO OUR HAND.

Yesterday while at dinner there were laid
upon our table twelve dozen of nickle tipped
Knickerbocker extra maroon finish American
pencils, with the compliments Of Mr.. I. L.
Humble, the popular manager of the Hyde
book and stationery establishment. We
did not see the donor, but on the outside Of
one of the boxes was written, How do you
like EN-" We guess An answer in the
affirmative would simply prove superauous,
as this new brand of pencils has of late been
crowdiHg all other pencils out of the market,
equalling the celebrated old Faber, in both
metal and wood, and being greatly superior
in finish. Business men and accountants all
over the country are calling for the Knicker-
booker, and the manager of our big station
cry house was compelled to order in quanti-
ties to furnish their retail patrons throughout
the southwest. They are indeed the acme in
the pencil line, Of even grained wood, the
plumba tough and black, not breaking up in
sharpening. and every pencil having nickel
tip. We hope by the time We have worn out
these twelve dozen that our readers may all
be happier, and our friend. Mr.. Humble,

PLEASURE PARTY.

The residence of Mr.. A. o. Lowell on

pleasure party last night. About thirty

NEW oRLEAM 8.

r. E. Morris, of Morris Bros, wire
fence machine manufacturers, OF this city,
has returned from business trip to the
Worlds Fair at New Orleans. He went
there to place on exhibition one Of their
machines and met with fattering success:
having by common consent the best ma
chine by 100 per cent Of any to be found
within the mammoth exposition. Some
sales of machines and territory we're made
and are yet being made by the agent left in
charge.
Mr.. Morris describes the weather as being,
some two weeks ago, rather rainy
and muddy every day for ten
days. This was followed by bright, pleasant
weather. much like yesterday here, except
that there it was warmer and dry. The
foliage upon the trees is now green, some
flowers are in bloom, and some kinds Of veg
etables green in the gardens. Mr.. N. plucked
some oranges from the grove or yard CT
Gen. Beauregard. Among the thousand and
one things of interest met with at the fair
and in the city, he seemed most impressed
with the battle ground where old Hickory
built his breast-works Of cotton bales.
With but few exceptions, and those the
leading streets of the city, the thoroughfares
are not paved, and during the rainy seasons
are in very bad condition. The leaves that
protect the city are now running within two
feet of the top, and it is predicted that the
spring thaws and rains will possibly food
the exposition buildings. The attendance
at the fair is reported as light; though dur.
ing the "Mardi Gras" it was large and i:
now steadily on the increase.
