but for the necessities of this selfish
brother2"
Though I've lately heard it limited,
Joel, that you are thinking o: marrying"
Mr.. Perrin blundered on, in his embar-
rassment saying the very thing he had
resolved not to say.
Mr.. Kirby snapped his whip, and trans
fixed his companion with glance 80
frigid that poor Mr.. Perrin shivered as
if he was impalcd on an iciclc.
Your cousin is a fine girl, Joel-an
uncommonly fine girl. II congratulate
you," he stammerei, wishing it would
do to get out and walk.
"You are too kind, Perrin-too kind
by half" sneercd MIR. Kirby, letting go
the reins of his anger. 'You've robbed
me of one bride, sir, and now you want
to make amends, do you, by choosing me
ano herl'
"Why, Kirby, what are you raving
about? When have ever interiered with
your concerns-matrimoni or other
wise" cried Mr.. Perrin, in tone of in
iured innocence. "You are laboring
under some strange delusion."
"Do you pretend it's delusion of
mine that but for you Roxanna would be
my wife2"
"Oh, he's twitting me on old scores, "
mused Mr.. Perrin, aggrievcd. He blames
me for letting sister give up her prospects
in life for Climena's sake. Sister would
do it, and she never told me there was
anything between her and Joel. "When
man is in a tight place, Joel, he's apt
to realize his own needs better than the
needs of his brethren, I suppose" he said,
aloud, after a moments pause. "But I'm
sorry if you bear me grudge."

rHE SIOUX RESERVATION.

1t may not be amiss at this time to recall
the provisions of a bill introduced into the
Senate last winter by Senator Dawes and
passed by that body also favorably reported
by the Indian committee of the House. The
bill now awaiting the final action Of the
House is entitled an 'Act to divide portion
of the reservation of the Sioux Indians, in
Dakota, into separate reservations and to Sc
cure the REIMBURSEMENT of the Indian title to
the remainder"
The great Sioux reserve lies in Dakota
Territory, extending about two hundred
miles along the west bank of the Missouri.
1t includes 80, 739 square miles of land or
1855, 12S acres. Upon this are located up
wards of thirty thousand of the various
tribes of Sioux Indians. This land was Sc
cured to these Indians by treaty with the
United States Government in 1868, approved
by act of Congress in February, 1877, and is
inalienable. except with the consent of,three-
fourths of the adult males. or these Indians
about 115. 900 wear citizens clothing; nearly
5000 families are engaged in agriculture or
some civilized pursuit; there are many
schools and missionaries among them; sew
eral native clergy are, considering the OBJ
stacles in the way and the inadequacy OF the
means used, making rapid progress
towards a condition ofcitizenshlp'
The land of the reservation is average
farming land desirable to white settlers ana
lies in the path of the great highway oe-
tween eastern and western Dakota. On us
eastern boundary the towns of Pierre ana
Chamberlain respectively terminate the
Chicago and North Western and the Chlca-
go, Milwaukee & st Paul Railroads. These
roads will be pushed through to DeadWood
on the opening of the reservation. This
reserve has been personally visited by SEN
ator Dawes and Herbert Walsh of the In
dian Rights Association and the Dawes
Sioux Bill is the result of a careful attempt
to secure the advantage of eleven million
acres of land to the white settler and also
Justice for his helpless red neighbor.
Among the advantages of the bill are:
lit opens to white settlement approx
imately eleven million acres, and thereby
removes an impeachment to civilization in
Dakota.
lit does this in such manner that when
the transaction is completed the United
States will have incurred no expense.
uI-The bill provides just compensation
for the Sioux Indians, and will tend to secure
their education and civilization.
The important provisions of the bill are
the following:

Senators would vote in favor of confirmation
The sudden elevation to office OF a man

A LITTLE SUGGESTION.
Concord Monitor.
For some reason. the enemies of Mr. Blaine
are devoting a good deal of time, energy, ana
invention to his alleged views on the silver
question eight or ten years ago. 1t is not al
together clear what good practical purpose Is
subserved by this course, or what interest
the public can have in the views past or pres
emit of man WOO as we are told, is the
stiffest and deadest of all political corpses.
Still, since MI Blaine'S opinions do seem to
his enemies to be of some Importance, ana
since they choose to brighten themselves, by
guessing what his attitude on the silver
question would be if he were president, how
would it do for them to conjecture what
course he would pursue, as president or even
of faf relative
ton Of the fishing industry against the free
traders Of Great Britain and their faithful al
lies in this country? AS we said before, we
are surprised that Mr.. Blaine's enemies
should trouble themselves at all about the
views of SO very inconsequential person,
but since they are bound to indulge in such
improbable discussions, we submit that
nothing in this line could be more interesting
than comparison of the case of Bayard ct
West with that of Blaine u.s. Granville.

Verhassen's Case.

Louis Nerhaegen, the burly" lover who
is supposed to have so cruelty beaten Lilly
Forrest the L-street courtesan, was up be-
fore the Police Court on Saturday to answer
10 q charge of assault to murder, preferred
against him by Thomas Consolation, to
which charge he pleaded not guilty, and
bail was fixed at $1,000 A charge of bat
terry was also laid against him. which was
sworn to by the injured woman. Consola-
ton was one of the parties present on the
outside of the house, who claims to have
heard :he row inside, and the screams of
the woman. The City Attorney will, I'M
doubtedly look after the ends of Justice in
the proper way but it would seem that if
the woman will first testify against Nerhae-
gen to the extent of proving case of bat
terry, in accordance with her complaint the
grayer charge would, in effect, be sustained
for it was certainly an assault to murder
Had size not been 4 woman OF an unusually
strong constitution she would have been
killed. As 1t was, she barely escaped q
fractured skull. 1t has been limited that
the defense would prove-or endeavor to
prove-that the woman herself inflicted
the injuries upon her person for the pur-
pose OF exciting the sympathy of Verhaegen,
whom she suspected of being wavering in
his affection for her. This is simply pre-
pOsterous, for there were wounds upon her
person which she could not possibly have
inflicted herself, some of them evidently
the result of beatings received several days
before the last assault upon her This is
one OF them most shameful cases of brutality
that has ever come before the criminal

shield the guilty party should be stub

that Sweeney could have kept the
number of base hits of the Haverlys
down to much lower figures had he
been so inclined. Meaghers and Lawton' s

Donahue's fielding were features of the
game. In the sixth inning LawtoD,
