Among the features of the Fourth" cele
bration at Chadron was the speech of the
celebrated Indian chief, Red Cloud. He was
introduced to the audience by l.. j. F. Jaeger.

and see you and celebrate the great Fourth

The Great Father sent commissioners here
to try to bulldoze me like child and try to
take my land away from me. They told me
that if did not give the land up it would be
just like big fish in pond with little fish
the big ones would eat the little ones all up.
They said that the white people would take
all The good lands from me, and that would
have nothing left but bad lands, when
would starve TO death They said that if
had a big stone wall around HE the white
people would get over it, and that if did
not sign the paper there would be no more

About PrPSentiments,

In many voyages have made it an object
to inquire of travellers and others concerning
presentiments, and have found that they are
very common, occasionally fulfilled, gener-
ally not so: and that it is the tendency with
practically all PERSONS who have had one
presentiment cone true to force themselves
into all, and 10 become tyrants over those
dependent upon them or those travelling with
them. 1t Is 10 be frankly admitted that, no
matter how vivid Che presentiment might be,
its nOn-fulfillment would not demonstrate that
there are no preSentimentS which must have
originated external to the mind OF the SUB
ject; but having been led by my experience
to induce many persons to defy such feelings
without single instance of reported evil re-
suits, it confirms strongly the hypothesis of
their subjective origin.
That preSCntiments are governed by no
moral principle in the character of the sub
jects TO which they are applied, the persons
who receive them, the occasions on which
they are given, and their effects is apparent.
The most immoral have claimed to have
them, have communicated them to Others
and they have sometimes been fulfilled by
events from which the persons having them
have derived great personal advantages.
The best OF men have had presentimentS, but
the great majority of good people have not,
and the greatest calamitieS which have be-
fallen most persons have come without any
warning whatsoever, eXceDt such as could be
inferred from existing situations. Expert
ence, foresight and guidance by ordinary
sagacty have been all that mankind have
had to rely upon; and to be governed only by
these, combating or disregarding present..
ments. impressions a,d powerful impulses
for which no foundation can be found in the
nature of things, is the only safe and stable
rule.-Rev. J. NJ. Buckley in Century.

Against Somber Garments,

A number of English women of high stand
ing in society have begun crusade against
the mourning garments which the customs of
the times compel them to wear. They are
not pioneers in this undertaking. Several
times before assaults have been made upon
the pagan and barbaric fashion of loading
women down with Grape and somber robes of
black when death overtakes any one near or
dear to them. Their predecessors in the adj
vocacy of this reform have had little success.
Why should a women make herself hideOus
and miserable by means of overwhelming
wells and funeral trappings? Oh, say the de-
tenders of this relic of barbarism, women
wear mourning because in them the emotions
of sorrow are stronger and deeper than in
men, and the outward garb of woe is the
symbol of the grief they feel within. Here
and there a woman of hysterical bent may
persuade herself that she is grieving more
because she has on four ply crepe veil and
a bonnet the shape color and weight Of a
coal scuttle, but If the rule of society that a
woman must indicate her grief by the i'm
mensity and inkiness of her clothes were
abolished we believe the great majority of
women would gladly fly to healthier and less
hideous attire.
1t is fashion, that silly and cruel tyrant,
that DEGREES the weaker sex shall be torment
ed with reminders of their bereavement il
their dress. No matter how ugly, how harm
full or how ridiculous a thing may be, if fash
ion says it is to be done it is done without
question or complaint by nine-tenths of the
women in the civilized world. SO mourning
will continue to be worn in its exaggerated
form in spite of all the crusades the minority
of sensible women may wage against it. If
men had to share the pains and inconveni-
ences Of mourning there would be a radical
reform at once. Men escape almost scot
free, however, and women alone must har-
vest the aftermath of death. -Pittsburg Dis

The Evil Eve,

Our forefathers believed firmly enough in
the evil eye. AS far back as we are able TO
pierce through the obscurity of antiquity we
find abundant evidences OF this strange belieI.
Chaldean COMPUTATIONS against the power of
the evil eye are still in existence. An Assyrian
incarnation of the Seventh century B. c.
against a sorcerer represents the glance Of the
evil eye as most dangerous To man. Various
Egyptian papyri refer to this fatal power,
and formula are given to preserve one from
its effects. Vedaic hymns recite prayers to
Aqua against the sorcerer, with his baleful
glance, and there was formula in an old
Hndoo marriage ceremony recited by the
groom against the possible evil effect from
the glances of the bride. Among the curious
laws governing the Brahmin is one that in
satisfying the wants of nature, he must not
look at the sun, moon, stars or planets, nor
at temple, a statue, a sacred tree or COW,
for his glance would then be harmful to any
of these. The Persian sacred books are full
of the subject. a man of evil life is here
deemed able to arrest the growth of plants
and the current of living water, or to deaden
the ripening fruit
An allusiOn to this deadly power is found
in EccleSiastes Various ancient writer's
give dCCOuuIS VI people WIN poSSSeSeu IulS
power to a wonderful extent. The cases of
Medea and of the Gorgons will recur to every
one. Pliny speaks especially of the Scythian
and Illyrian women. Ovid, Plutarch, Hor-
ace, Herodotus and other classical writer's
frequently allude to it, st. Mark puts an al
fusion to the evil eye in the mouth of Christ,
and st. Paul alludes to it i'll the epistle to the
Galatians. The early fathers of the church
reason much about it with the result of leav-
ing the matter in great confusion, but none
of them question this power. They usually
ascribe to the Deity the source of this great
influence, but later writer's assign 1t to the
malevolence of Satan. Children, handsome
people and the aged were declared particu-
larly subject to harm from this source. For
there are some," says one of these writers,
who have eyes so brilliant and full Of fire
that with a single glance they infect others,
and particularly children, the venom of fas-
cination acting upon them by reason of the
perverse or maliSn quality and dangerous
humor of the injecting eye of the sorcerer
which enters the sympathetic pupil Of the
child's eye. n-Pttsburg Dispatch.

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks an
epoch in the life of the individual. Such a re-
markabie event is treasured in the memory
and the agency whereby the good health has
been attained is gratefully blessed. Hence it
is that so much is heard in praise OF Electric
Bitters. So many feel they owe their resto-
ration to health, to the use of the Great Al
teratve and Tonic. II you are troubled with
any disease of Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of

Two Important Meetings Recentl
Held.


The Laurel school-house was well
filed last Saturday evening with MEM
bers of the two organizations known
respectively as the Cahuenga Township
Producers Union and the Cahuenga
Winter Vegetable Association. A meet
ing Of the union was frat in order, at
which, after the usual preliminsries, the
Committee on Roads submitted q
memorial addressed to the Board of
Supervisors, setting forth that the road
overseer of the Laurel road district
was neglectful of his duties, discrimi-
mating, careless with the tools of the dis
trict; that the horses he has used "are
mere bronchos, entirely unfit for road
work.; that che has proven himself SO
absolutely incompetent to discharge the
duties of road overseer" that the dis
trict does not receive 80 per cent. of the
benefit it should for the money ex-
pended, and requesting the Board of
Supervisors to remove him, or to
let all jobs of road work of
any magnitude be done by COZ.

WThe Little World.n
From the San Francisco DAILY ALTA. of Sur
day, September 1st, 1884,


MECHANICS FAIR.
One of the most interesting features of the
present fair is the mechanical wonder made
and invented by W. H. Robertson. "The Little
World" as the curiosity is called, consists OF
combination ofingenious devices representing
miniature men and women, horses. wagons,
steamboats, aud trains, all perfect working
models, kept in constant motion by invisible
machinery. The connections are so perfectly
concealed that the spectator is unable to com :
prehend by what ingenious method the little
automatons are made to move, almost as
natural as in life. There are mechanics in
almost every trade represented in the Little
World" carpenters, painters, bricklsyers and
masons moving about and performing their
labors after their own peculiar fashion. To
appreciate fully this mechanical triumph the
visitor should study each figure separately, and
it will be readily seen that the entire device is
the work of genius. In addition to quite
number of small men and women engaged In
various occupations, an interesting feature of
the exhibi. are the moving trains, steamboats,,
bicycles, wagons, street cars. and models of
mining and indus trial machinery. Aside from
being rare mechanical invention, the Little
World" is calculated to afford rare entertain
ment and amusement for ladies and children,
and during each afternoon and evening Mr..
Robertson's booth in the northwest gallery of
the building is thronged with psople. The In
yentor, who is blacksmith by trade, con-
sumed fully seventeen years in perfecting this
mechanical curiosity, showing grand result
from patience, perseverance and genius The
life-like movements of the arms, elbows and
wrists of the human figures together with the
accuracy of time in all the workings, are calcu-
lated to call forth no small amount of praise
from the spectators.
