Indian Ideas Of Decorum.

We heard of a girl the other day who
was las wild as an INDIAN But an
Indian girl is not wild. No GIRLS more
submissive to the rules of her race and
tribe than an Indian girl who is not yet
corrupted by the proximity of the white
man. She never goes anywhere alone,
and she never passes a man on the high
way without turning away her head. If
a man comes into her wigwam she con-
ceals her face, and she does not stand
within hearing distance of men who are
talking. She lives up to her idea and
her tribes idea of what is proper and
becoming. If she fails to do so. she
places herself beyond the protection Of
her tribe. There is no safe place in this
world for the girl who knows no law
but her own will.-N. Y. Ledqer.

DISCHARGED.
PORTER GRIGSBY RELEASED FROM JAIL
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON,
Afsr an Examination Before 0. S. Commissioner
Gardener 10 Do Given Hear
ing To-day.

Porter Grigsby, a colored pipe liner,
whose arrest by Officers Dunlap and Des'
mond, on a Federal warrant, was chron-
icled in yesterdays REGISTER, was given
a hearing before United States Commits
sioner Forbes yesterday afternoon, and Of
its close was discharged from custody by
the official, the evidence adduced utterly
failing to show any criminal intent on the
part of the accused, but at the same time
it made rather unfavorable showing for
Alexander Gardener, whose hearing is sci
for to-day.
The testimony for the defence showed
that on election day Grigsby was working
on a pipe line trench on the leland, and
that he had continued ut work until about
three o'clock, when hack came for him,
and he was driven over to the
market house poll. Alexander Gardner
was in the hack, and the latter told the
defendant that he wanted him to swear tt
the age of P rice, who was held to Court
few days ago. Grigsby presented himself
at the poll, and was duly sworn by thu
Judges, when he said he had only known
Price few months, having worked on the
pipe line with him, and knew nothing re
garding his age. He had made no at
tempt whatever to secure vote for Price,
or any one else, and had taken no part in
the electioneering work Of the day. Alex.
Gardener had been trying to have
Prices vote recorded, and on the dispute
arising regarding the latter's age, Alex.
ander had left the room saying he could
get man to swear 10 il, and had then
gone to the Island in q hack after Grigsby
There was an attempt made to prove that
Grigsby had been seen in the morning, but
the defendant denied the fact of such 8
visit, and said he had worked right along
until three o'clock, when his boss had al.
lowed him a quarter of day off to go and
vote. Price had not worked at all during
election day, but hung around the market
house poll, seeking an opportunity to de.
post q ballot, and Gardener also worked
at the poll all day, being particularly anx'
ious to get Prices vote in.
Gardner will be given hearing to-day,
when the old testimony will be gone over
again in great measure, but some new
facts are expected to be brought out.

Explosion of Natural Gas.

About ten o'clock yesterday morning
people within two squares of the postoffice
corner were startled by sharp, cannon
like explosion, which ratified the windows
in the vicinity of the locality given in a
lively way. A crowd at once made a
rush for the open ditch of the West Vir-
ginia Natural Gas Company, at the inter
section of Sixteenth and Market streets,
where the explosion had occurred. 1t was
quickly ascertained that quantity Of gas
which had leaked into the pipe being laid
through badly fitting valve, had become
ignited from piece of pipe which had
been heated red hot, preparatory to bend
ing it, and that one OF the wOrkmen,
Robert Mcfarland by name, had been
seriously burned about the face and neck.
The injured man was quickly carried into
neighboring saloon, and physician sum-
mOned, who directed his removal to his
room at the Huseman House, where his
wounds were dressed. His face was badly
blackened and blistered by the blast of
flame from the end of the pipe, and
several small cuts inflicted by flying earth
and pebbles, but the wounds are not
deemed to be of serious nature.
1t appears that the eight inch pipe had
been filled with plug ut its open end,
and fire had been kindled over the pipe
near the north line of Sixteenth street, in
order to admit of slight bend beingmade.
Some gas had escaped into the pipe from q
valve higher up the line, and when the
temperature of the pipe became high
enough to fire the gas the explosion fol-
lowed. The plug was blown from the end
OF the tube with great force, and McFar-
land, who was standing in STOPPING posi-
ton near the end OF the pipe, caught a
portion of the blast about bis head, as
above stated.
