A Baltimore Woman's Description of Life
 on an Indian Reservation.

A Baltimore Woman's Description of Life
 on an Indian Reservation.
 Mrs. Abbie Thayer, widow of Na- thaniel J. Thayer, of Baltimore, is visit ing friends in this city during her vaca- tion from Government work in the Hand of the Dakotas.' She is head teacher in one of the Government h. dian schools in the Rosebud agency. Miles away from any white settle ment, she has the charge of camp of one hundred Indians, her protecting police being savages also. Her duty is to look after the education, food, cloth ing and general furnishing of the en- tire camp. She has been very suc- cessful in her work, and her graphic descriptions of her experiences are ex- ceedingly interesting.
 The Indians are those known as the Sioux" who were sent from Minne- sota years ago to their present reserva- tions in Dakota. They adhere to their ancestral customs, except so far as they can be individually persuaded to "go on the white mans road.n The more fortunate among them live in wood or canvas ''teepesn or tents, an entire family occupying the one room, which serves for all purposes, and sleeping on the ground floor. In fact, the word@ ground is also the word for bed. as they are generally unaccustomed to

AMUSING BLUNDERS.

Tho Work of Competitors Who Had
 Keen Sense of Humor.
 Compositors are not immaculate, and some blunders which have found their way into print may bear repeating. A parson who preached a fairly good ser- mon, but wrote villainous hand, was shocked to find a sentence that should have read: But sorrow not, nor grieve; take the final steps now, and sin no more,n appear in print as: Take the final stiffs now" etc. The shipping community were amazed to learn some time ago that the schooner Jessie Lee left last night with a cargo of cats. " When the marine editor, who had writ ten oats, saw this he felt grieved. A literary woman who writes about philos- ophy and Buddhist poetry and things of that sort, is very choice in her lan- guage. A short time ago she wrote couple of paragraphs about Emerson, in which she said that gentleman was the indefatigable "keeper of diary" The compositor, who, doubtless, was an old and trusted friend of the philosoph- ical gentleman, knew better, and the readers were gravely informed that Emerson was the indefatigable "heifer of a dairy" A poet whose writing is like nothing in the heaven above nor anywhere else, once wrote:
 "Statesmen, princes, rulers all,"
 And was doubtless surprised when he found the line printed:
 oil
 A dramatic critic in a handsome notice of & charming young actress, whose treatment of Portia afforded him much pleasure said: Her love for Por- tia made acting easy" That was all right, but what the types made him say was: "Her love for porter" An art critic, in writing favorably of a picture by Bizzaro, was shocked to find that by some means known only to the com positor and proof-reader the following sentence had got into the criticism: "13, 133, ,070 shows one of the finest iu the collection" A revivalist preacher said: ''Ye were born to suffer as ye were born to be rewarded, for well hath it been written: No cross, no crown, '' The latter part of the sentence appeared in print: No COWS, no cream ' which, although as truthful as the assertion oi the minister, was not apropos. Errors are quite frequent in headlines The sentences are usually so short and there is so little context to read by that a very competent man is liable to go wrong in setting up manuscript. A head that at tracted some attention, more indeed than the one intended. "Here and There" appears as Heads and Tails. ' Another head, written Partisan Strife" was printed as Patrick Strut. "Presbyterian Synod" glaring out o types as Assumptions Snipe." He brew Theatric Notes" attracted some attention when announcing "He Blew the Critics Nose. "- Chicago Tunes.

sleep on any thing else. A chair, when they have one, is rather matter of ornament than use. The dress of squaw is, to begin with, single calico garment, which after being put on is never taken off. When a new garment is received from the Government it is put on over the old one, and so on with subsequent additions until the inner one drops off. Half a dozen dresses are sometimes worn over each other in this way, a squaw's wardrobe and wealth being almost literally lon her back" The dresses are loose-fit- ting, but drawn together at the waist by. fancy girdle. They have no trunks.
 The ears of both sexes are fairly riddled with holes as large as pencil, from which hang many ornaments made of brass and bones. Both sexes wear the hair long, plaited and heavily ornamented-a Addressed squaw looks like an animated and moving junk-shop, with all her rags, bones and brass about her.
 Polygamy prevails and whenever a "brave" is displeased with his squaw he ''throws her away" The marriage ceremony is mainly that of capture. " The brave covers himself with a large blanket, hiding all but one eye, which is painted beyond all recognition. He selects his girl and envelops her in his blanket. Being sure of his audience, he sings her a love-song. If she sub mits to this the courtship is over and he takes her home. He regards his mother-in-law as his natural enemy and never deigns to either speak to her or look at her.
 Many of the Indians, especially the young ones, are handsome in figure and sometimes in face. Their complexion is about that of an Italian, hair and eyes uniformly black, teeth sound and white, even among the aged.
 In school the children are bright in their studies and close observers of all that goes on around them. All kinds of deception are considered legitimate, and the better the lie the smarter the author. Among themselves all the work is done by the women, the men doing nothing until they are taught and compeled by the inroads of civiliza- tion. Alcoholic liquors in any form are not allowed on any of the reserva- tions. All demands upon the Govern ment are made through the head teacher of the school, who naturally becomes the queen bee of the savage l. tendents, who report to their superiors in the Department of the Interior, Washington Sun.

 BRIGHT PROSPECTS.
A SeIf-Satisfed Undertaken Discusses His Tu0ubrious Trade.

A seIf-satished Undertaken Discusses His
 Lugubrious Trade.
 Every body is more or less interested in dying and the undertaking business. It appeals to both rich and poor, and it is cheerful to learn that the trade is very fair this year. The Tetcgram's morgue artist had talk with Carmine street undertaken the other evening.
 "The high-tone trade, he remarked, s'is not so certain as the general work, though, of course, it pays better for in dividual jobs, Well-to-do families like to have their burying done by one man, and unless there is an epidemic or some thing of that kind the average under taker would only be able to turn money once in generation if he de- pended entirely upon such patrons.
 ''It's a singular fact than In soma families most of the members die at about the same age, and If you can keep tracks of their birthdays you can generally know when to expect a job a long way ahead Other families die off in punches; and if a son or an uncle dies you can nearly make dead sure count of having to take a couple moro of the same lot to the cemetery before a year is out. It is nice to know things that way, as it is always pleasant for every body to have preparations made in advance.
 'I have quite comfortable client age, large, delicate, well-paying fami- lies mostly, and can count on an aver age of three big funerals in a fortnight from them.
 But the bulk of my steady work comes from the poorer classes. Of course, I never let my wealthier patients know of this; some of them don't like riding in the same hearses or mourning coaches that common folk do. It is by them I can always best tell how people are dying in the city and know if trade is slack or brisk"
 "But don't you have a lot of bad debts among some of those poorer peo- plep" queried the reporter.
 "What?"
 Bad debts."
 "Why, bless you, no. There's no such thing as bad debt in our busi- ness. At least, comparatively speak ing, none"
 Poor people are very particular about their dead and jealous lest their funerals should not look as well as their neighbor's. They'll sell out the kitchen stove in mid-winter to get something extra for the corpse in the shape of sil- yer ornaments for the coffin, and they seem to think that a spirit can't rest until the funeral has been paid for. As long as I think corpse has any friend ly relatives at all I will always take the job of burying him on spec No one l likes it said that brother or an uncle was buried in the Potter's Field"
 And how are things now?"
 "Oh, I'm not complaining; business is running nicely"
 And the prospects,"
 "Very bright, indeed, sir."-N Y 1 Telegram.

AN HISTORICAL TREE.
Its Antiquity Shrouded in Profound Mys
 tery and Uncertainty.

Its Antiquity Shrouded in Profound Mys-
 tery and Uncertainty.
 During a recent visit to New Orleans l discovered in a woodward, near the corner of Orleans and Dauphin streets, and bearing the distinctive title of ''Pere Antoine's Palm," date tree whose history and antiquity arc shrouded in no little mystery and un- certainty. Inquiry further revealed that the surroundings, now given over to shops and traffic, constituted, in the latter part of the last century, the garden of Father Antonio de Sedella, a Spanish cura, whose simple, practical piety, unbounded charity and unsullied, unselfish character so endeared him to the hearts of the people as to obtain for him popular canonization as a saint. When he died the entire city was plunged in grief, all busi- ness was suspended, courts ad- journed, theaters closed, and young and old, including the clergy of every sect and denomination, united to pay final respect to the good man; even the Masonic bodies of high and low degree, in full regalia and badges of mourning, walked in solemn process sion behind the bier, the only occasion in the history of the order where such honors have been accorded the remains of Romish priest.
 As gazed upon the venerable tree, so suggestive of glittering sands bor- dered by green groves and babbling brooks, of white tournoured Arabs and stately camels, 1 experienced an in- effable feeling of sadness, and, incOn- gruOus as it may seem, the transition from the shores of the Mediterranean to the rugged hills of Midlothian was simple, sympathetic and abrupt, for we both were strangers in strange land" Then, as the thin. sharp foliage sighed beneath the damp, chill December wind,' and wept great drops of moisture that trickled in abject misery down the scared and swollen trunk, 1 could imagine, as an expres- sion of grief and nostalgia, the sequel of a futile and lonely life.
 For years, more than & century, per- haps, this was the only palm of the species in America, but whence it came, or how it found its way hither, few know or care, though innumerable tales, idle and fanciful, cluster around its imposing presence. Some whisper it sprang from the heart of a fair MorescO snatched from her home by violence and forced to lead life that made her neither maid nor wife, and who died dreaming otp;alms and pin ing for the hills and groves of her na- tive land. Others that it was brought from Syria by a noble ad-genturer, as a repinder of days passed among the shifting scenes of the Orient Others, again, assert it stood in the midst of a bit Of sandy prairie, where it now stands, when Iberville brought the first colonists to Louisiana; that ubsequent. ly 1t was prostrated by n hurricane and that the present trunk ais second product of the roots. None of these or other popular tales, bear the test oi scrutiny, however, and manifestly are of recent origin, except, perhaps thai which declares with the fall of the tree the lands about will revert to the city or the heirs of the original grantees VGck's Magazitse. |
