the North American Indian Of all tribes

TAKE THINGS AS THEY COME.

Some days arc bright and sunny,
And some are bleak with rain;
Some lives are crowned with pleasure,
And some are flled with pain.
For some the world is rosy,
For others sad and glum;
But all who'd know contentment
Should take things as they come
You know Dame Fortunes ficklo.
And oft withdraws her smile.
And things to suit our fancy
Won't fashion all the while.
The best of puddings only
Has here and there o plum
Then look upon the bright side,
And take things as they come.
'Tis not by care aud worry,
'Tis not by fume and fret,
That great things we accomplish
And wreaths victorious get.
1t ie by watching, waiting
And working bravely from
The morn till night, and taking
LIES trials as they come.
Depend this world Is sunny,
II we the sun would see;
Then take things as they IRE going,
And not as they should be.
We ever may be happy,
And Joy will hop and hum
Around us, IL we only
win take things as they come.

During the late great political cam
paign the great Democratic cry was
''Turn the rascals out !" Everywhere
the people were told by Democratic
speakers, of the vast amount of fraud
and corruption that existed in the va
rious departments of the government,
and if the Democratic party was tri-
umphant what q cleaning out of the
Augean stables there would be. Well
let's see. The nation has been under
Democratic control over month and
so far no Republican rascality has been
exposed and no one removed for ras-
cality. True, removals have been
made and designations called for, but
not in a single instance has the claim
of dishonesty or rascality been the
cause for changing. President Cleve-
land sent to the Senate 125 nomina-
tons for civil offices. Of these seven
were Cabinet officers and thirteen
were new foreign Ministers, leaving
nineteen undisturbed. Seven Consuls
only out of 1872 were changed, and
among about 120 United States Mar
shals and District Attorneys Mr..
Cleveland has made only half dozen
changes. In the $3.50 Presidential
Post Offices he has appointed only
fifty-eight new Postmasters. The
President has gone slow in making
changes and his action would indicate
hat he takes little stock in stump
,ratory.

Ada C. Sweet, pension agent al
Chicago, has been requested by Mr..
Black the new commissioner, to re-
sign. In his communication to her he
says, There is no reason personal to
yourself or to the management of your
office, which induces this request. ="
Ada refuses to so do, and telegraphs
the President that her commission
does not expire until April 16, 1886,
and that she has performed all the du-
ties of her Office with an eye single to
the interests confided to her charge.
1t now remains to be seen what will be
done in the matter, as this case GER
tainly comes under the head of Civil
Service. Miss Sweet is the daugh-
ter of a gallant general and has
faithfully performed the duties of the
Office the past eleven years.

The Riel rebellion is attracting
considerable attention at present.
The instruction is caused by the
neglect of the Dominion government
to recognize the half-breeds of the
Saskatchewan country in the various
Dominion and provincial laws con-
Ce-ning the taking up of lands and
the wiping out of ancient claims.
Louis Rel, who is a resident of Mon
tana, is the leader, and led a similar
rebellion in 1870, caused by the trans
fer of the Hudson Bay Company terri
tory to the Dominion. He was put
down by General Wolseley. and it is
said he takes the lead in the present
instruction in order to get revenge
on that account. Although a half
breed, he is talented and well educat-
ed. The half-breeds are bold, hardy
and brave, are fi.st-class marksmen,
and are reinforced by sym2athizing
Indians, and will doubtless cause Can
ada considerable trouble. 1t would
seem that our Canadian friends would
have done well to have listened to
their claims and adjusted them in
some satisfactory way. As it now is,
affairs are rapidly assuming a war-like
appearance in the Northwest.

About Sugar.

Another sugar season is at had. In
our State more than half of all the
farmers are sugar makers, and the
quantity Of maple sugar produced in
Vermont is nearly half as much as
all that is made in the other States.
III 1876, according to the census re-
port, So, 576,06l pounds of maple
sugar Was made i'll the United Stale.
Neatly y, 100000 pouuds were made
III Two StaLes-VermouL and New
ork. Vermont made over 600, 200
pounds more than New York, bit
New York made 138,0O0 gallons of
maple syrup more than was made in
Vermont. The maple sN rup or molas
ses made in the United S ates is ap-
proximately 100000 gallons. These
figures at first sight appear quite
large, but they really represent quite
tritiing quantity when compared
with the whole amount of sugar i'm
ported last year, with the domestic
product added. If all the maple SUI
gar made il the United States in d
good season was divided equally
among the Inhabitants, each one would
get about three-fourths OF pound !;
if the maple syrup was divided equal
~, would give each inhabitant
small teacupful. For the year ending
June 80. 1884, there was imported
2.437 900, 900 pounds of dutiable SUI
gar, and 35,0m,OO0 gallons of mo-
IaSSes. The domestic product of
cane, maple and sorghum sugar
amounts to 400. 100000 pounds, with
total of 47,OO0,00O gallons of mo-
lasses from the same sources. Com
putting the molasses at it's equivalent
in sugar, we have an approximate to-
tai of 3 800, 0o0O, 900 pounds, as the
quantity Of sugar produced in the
United States, with that imported,
during the past year, the domestic
product being estimated as nearly the
same as shown by the census. The
average value of imported sugar was
.O36 per pound. The average adj
Uolorem rate of duty was about "a
per cent, the specific rate nearly two
cents "a pound, ranging from .Ol4 to
three and one-haf cents, according
to quality. The total tax paid by lie
people on sugar and molasses ap-
proachss $50, 400.
Only one State, Louisiana, ever
made sugar enough for its own use.
Only one other, Vermont, ever made
half enough for its own use. The de.
licious maple flavor which is found in
the clean, well made article will sus-
tain a demand for it 10 he used in the
same way as candy, if put in a 70 m
convenient to be used for such pur-
pose and pure maple syrup, with the
genuine flavor of the naples, will sell
as honey sells. without much depend
ence upon the price of cane sugar or
molasses.

Gen. Grants inability TO sleep
comes not so much from condition OF
the body as from unrest of tue mind.
He has it firmly rooted that he is GO
ing out in disgrace and under a cloud,
and all that his friends can say 10
him in no wise changes his belief. He
talks very freely with certain of his
intimates on the subject, and he tells
them of his modification and chagrin
that he should have been duped by
Ward, and that SO many persons
should have lost money by him. He
Thoroughly understands, and indeed it
is the truth, that Ward used the name
Of Grant to carry on his schemes, and
that many persons were led into them
because they had conf lence in Grant.
And so Grant, with mental disease
upon him, and conscious that his end
is at hand, rests in wakeful eyes day
in and day out, and thinks, thinks,
thinks. He tells his dearest friends
that the responsibilities of battle and
of 1t aiding the armies of the nation
gave nO SuCu COUCETH rs las LUlS
Ward business; that rest in the
White House in the critical period
when the country was recovering from
the effects OF the civil war was sweet
compared to the rest that has come to
him in the last nine months. He had
hoped that fortune might in some
manner smile upon him so that he
might return to those who lost, the
money thus wasted. He would
write, he would work, he would do
anything to remove this stain from
the family. But he is attacked by
disease that must prove fatal, and
soon he became zoo sick and too weak
to stir out of the house. So he 81
lently and grimly, and without word
of complaint, keeps to his couch and
his easy chair, and thinks he mourns
because he cannot make restitution
and because he is helpless. 1t preys
upon him so that he cannot sleep.
