found it of poor quality barely drink
able. Their principal trouble was the
scarcity IF feed for their animals.
They were obliged to spend much
time in clearing bonlders out of the
road in canyons. This detained them
in places where there was no feed and
their animals became very thin and
weak. Ifihey had gone out with pack
animals they would have been nil

The Speech was All Right.
From the ChicdOo Ns,Us.

w. H. Hinrichsen, editor of the Quincy Her
aid, tells of an amusing experience he recently
had with the venerable Phocion Howard. 1t
seems that Phocion stalked into the Herald
office the other day with his usual budget of
political information, which he forthwith pro-
ceeded to open and to disseminate for the in
formation and the instruction of the editorial
force.

have run over from Danville to deliver an ad-
dress before the grand army men of this city
this evening. 1t has occurred to me that your
paper might like to publish a synopsis of my
speech, and if it would shall be glad to furn-
ish that synopsis"
YES answered Henrichsen, well do it and
do it cheerfully. I'm not going to be in town
myself at O'Clock this afternoon have got to
run up to Jacksonville to attend to little
matter of business, but I'll leave note for my
assistant who will take charge tonight during
my absence, telling him that the report YOU
bring in is all right
This was eminently satisfactory to Phocion.
The next day Hinrichsen was greatly annoyed
to find that no copies of that mornings Herald
reached Jacksonville by the early train. II was
the first time in many months that the paper
had missed the train. Hinrichsen was pretty
hot about it, and when he got back to Quincy
that DAY he made up his mind TO raise particular
Tophet with the editor whom he had left in
charge, and who must have been responsible for
the hitch. so he made diiigent search for that
young man, and having found him, he expouuded
unto him the exposition vulgarly called the riot
act.
But it wasn't my fault" pleaded the young
man; you wrote me this note, didn't your"
The note he exhibited read in this wise: 1.-The

first page. Hinrichsen."

well" continued the assistant editor "Pho-
eion didn't bring his matter into the office until
about midnight, and that was why we missed all
the mails"
But how can you explain" asked Hinrich-
sen, how can you explain why the mere synop-
sis Of speech should demoralize the machinery
of a flrst-class newspaper Officer
''Synopsis?" repeated the assistant editor, in
a tone of blank amazement. Synopsis? Look
a-here. Mr.. Hinrichsen, have you seen our paper
today"
mo, not yet"
well, just take look at it, and you'll see
what Phocion Howard meant when he suggested
providing you with synopsis"
Hinrichsen went over to the file that lay upon
the table yonder and he turned to the first page
of the mornings paper The telegraph news
had all been crowded out. Phocion had got in
his work with fatal effect. The report of his
speech. as furnished by himself, flied four col.
umns and half of solid nonpareil.

COURTING IN AUSTRALIA.
The Energetic Process by Which a
Bushman Secures a Wife.


from the Chicago Herald.
Our blacks" said Mrs. J. r. Reid, a native
of New South Wales, "are different in type
from the African. Their hair stands up. wiry
and bushy, like that of the Circassian women in
your dime museums. In the bush they wear nc
clothes, but when they come in town the au
thorities compel them to be clad. The women
object most strenuously to clothing. IL you
give woman gown she will seldom put but
one arm in a sleeve, letting the garment hang
from her shoulders and displaying one side of
her bosom. The blacks find an abundance OF
food, and there is thus no incentive for them to
accept civilization and learn to work. The
country swarms with kangaroos walvarbies
ian animal similar to the Kangaroo, RABBITS
and birds. Then the blacks make a large part
of their diet of snakes and worms. Worms
they eat raw Just as they dig them from
the earth. They eat snakes of all kinds
THE blacks are not prolific, couple seldom
having three children The women, OF course,
are brutaly abused by the males and kept in
the most degraded state of servitude When a
black wants wife he falls upon some young
woman, chokes her SO she cannot cry out, and
runs with her into the bush. There he must
stay with her for three or four months. He
cannot return to his own tribe until the expra-
ton of this period. When he does take her
back, if she utters no complaint of hunger
against him-that is. ii she does not show that
he has utterly failed to supply her with suffi-
clent worms, kangaroo meat and snakes-he
can keep her. But for a year he must keep out
OF the way of her tribe, for if they catch him
they will Kill him and take the young woman
back. The sign Of the married state adopted
by the women Is the pulling out one front tooth.
When the male becomes Benedict he indicates
the joyful fact by cutting off the little finger of
his right hand at the first joint. They live in
low, skin-covered huts, and l think are in
every respect beneath the North American
Indian in intelligence"

A Sad, Sad Tale.
From the Detroit Free Press


A stranger with a sad, tired look, and a man.
ner indicating that he wished to escape general
observation, came into a little western town the
other day. He stopped at the town well to
slake his thirst and battle his flushed face and
brow, and while he drank a denizen of the town
drew near to quaff of the cooling water. He,
too, had a careworn face and an air of general
encouragement.

wayfarer.
"Yep-stranger now, but used 70 live round

"No-did your Lately?"

"Knowed her well. I-I-did you ever hear of

The wayfarer looked carefully around. low
cred his voice. and said cautiously:
'See here, mister: I've favor to ask. IL amt

Sally Watts that a stranger was around astin'

Fredorick's Diary.

1t does not yet appear what Bismarck
purpose is in prosecuting Prof. Gefdcken
! for publishing the diary of the late EN-
peror Frederick. The only points of i'm
portance brought out in the examination OF
/ Prof. Gefficken, on Monday, were that he
had always been a supporter of Bismarck
and Bismarck's policy, and his declaration
that he had Frederick's permission to pub
/ lish the diary three months after the
/ latter's death. From this it would appear
that there was no intention to
/ injure Bismarck by the publication.
The truth probably is that the
professor had no other object in view than
to make little money from the sale of the
diary. 1t is probable, also, that he felt
some satisfaction in being able to give to
the German people historical matter written
by so high an authority as the late en-
peror. 1t does not appear from anything
that has yet been published that the diary
contains anything calculated to damage the
empire or anybody's reputation.
Bsmarcks complaint against it is, doubt
less, that is does not give him all the credit
for bringing about German unity. 1t adj
mits that the German empire, as it at pres
ent exists, is due largely 10 him, but points
out that the idea of such an empire was not
conceived all at once, nor by one mind. 1t
grew, as it were, from suggestions from
different sources until it assumed such
shape as to justify action upon it. 1t is
not questioned in the diary that Bismarck's
was the master mind, and that he, more
,1- rl,n ca hot fh1a
result was German unity.
Bismarck lost his temper probably be-
cause he thought he was going to be robbed
of some of the great reputation which he
has always enjoyed in connection with the
formation of the empire. His course, how
ever, is calculated to do him more harm
than the diary could possibly have done
him, because it will be believed that he is
afraid to have all the facts made public.
If he had paid no attention to the publica-
ton, or, at most, suggested that it was not
true in some important particulars, and in
that way created doubt of its correctness,
he would have acted more wisely.
The attempt to suppress the diary will
make the people more anxious to see it, and

not otherwise have had. 1t w be about
impossible to keep it from tia public, and
the result will be, probably, that it will be-
come the source of discussions that will tend
to weaken Bismarck and his supporters
with the people. Bismarck has had many
diplomatic triumphs, but in this instance he
appears to have shown a great want of tact
and Judgment

Let Justice be Don g.

In the message which the President sent
to congress announcing that he had signed
the bill prohibiting Chinese immi-
grafton he makes two recommends
tions, the justice of which will hardly be
denied One is that some provision shall
be made granting those Chinese laborers
who had already embarked on their return
to this country when the law prohibiting
further immigration was enacted, and the
other is that the sum of S276 6l9 20 be APP
propriated to indemnify those Chinese who
sustained injuries and losses at the hands Of
nIobs in the territories
1t is understood that there are several
thousand Chinese laborers now on their re-
| turn to this country who have certificates
showing that they have once been residents
of the United States and went to China
with the intention of returning at an early
day. 1t is manifestly fair and just that
all who can show such certificates should be
permitted to resume their residence here, as
they visited China with the full under
standing that they would be permitted to
do So Certificates were issued to them in
accordance with the existing law.
above referred to was provided for in the
treaty which China rejected. The rejection
of the treaty however, should not be bar
to the payment of the money to those who
are entitled to it.
Some of the republican senators, when
the Presidents message was read, expressed
surprise that he should have signed the pro-
hibiting bill and at the same time pointed
out that it was defective in several
respects. They would have been pleased,
doubtless, if he had vetoed the bill, because
the republicans would have had the oppor-
tunity of charging that he was opposed to
prohibiting Chinese immigration. The
President ives too shrewd to do anything of
that kind. He signed the bill, and
now it is the duty of congress to
do justice to the Chinese in accordance with
his recommendations. 1t will be nee
eSsary for congress to act promptly,
because a great many Chinese will soon ar
rive at San Francisco who are entitled to
return to this country. Neither party
should hesitate to propose the legislation
which the President regards as necessary to
do the Chinese Justice.
