AT Tahlequah, Indian Territory, re-
Gently, the Cherokees celebrated the com.
pletion and opening of their new Female
Seminary. The structure cost 5000, 600
and is complete in all modern appliances
and comforts. Connected with it is a
handsome chapel and a costly system Of
water works. The dedicatory celebration
was a very imposing affair. The process
sion formed was more than an hour il.
passing a given point, though it moved at
a good pace. There were Lodges OF con-
fraternal societies, schools, music a~ssocia-
lions, bands, trade displays, military and
citizens of the Territory in large number,
with floats, decorated cars, etc. Yet it is
within the century that the Cherokee
Nation was a barbarous one and its people
composed one of the largest of the nc
madic tribes of the continent. Now they
testify by their schools, towns, Courts,
Legislatures, churches, academies, new
papers and other evidences of refinement,
what the potency of civilization is. Com
pare the celebration so briefly referred to
with the turbulent scenes of a few DAYS
days ago on the opening of Oklahoma, and
the Indian stands out in strong and fat;er-
ing contrast to some of the methods of the
race from which he acquired the knowl-
edge Of the arts of peace.

The Charleston Ness and Courier trusts
that the old Union soldiers in Charleston
viii succeed in their endeayors to organize
2 post of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie in that city. The expression does the
Courier credit, and since that Journal must
reflect the current public sentiment there,
il is evidence that the era of good feeling
is growing in strength and widening in its
influence. 1t is not SO very long ago when
the attempt to organize a Grand Army
Post in South Carolina would have had no
local encouragement, even if it had not
met with opposition. But to-day we find
the leading paperof that State a~pplaudins
such an effort and at much length en-
couraging it and Offering to render assist
ance to secure the formation of the associ-
alton.

A CATHOLIC clergyman of San Fran
cisco has taken the young men and women
of his congregation to task sharply fol-
reading the sensuous literature of the day
He tells them that in his parochial visits
he has noticed upon their tables the works
of lola, Amelie Rives Chanler and other
books generally admitted to be impure
in character and to present false and de.
moralizing ideas of life. In response tc
his inquiries as to why these novels were
read, when there is such a wealth of clean
and helpful fiction to be had, the priest
received the reply uniformly that they
had been procured because the books were
famous" and the readers desired to be
familiar with all the famous" literature
of the day. 1t was a weak and unsatis-
factory response in his estimation. The
anger of this clergyman is justified. There
can be conjured up no more pernicious
influence for the corruption of minds thar
the literature of the order to which he re.
fers. Ii is more vicious because presented
in a more alluring garb than the class Of
works the law condemns and makes il
criminal to sell or possess. The latter viii
shock and nauseate a mind at all sensitive
The former insidiously and by suggestion
instill a deadly venom. But preaching
against the vicious literature OF the day
will do little good unless there is sup.
Elemental work in the same direc.
ton by the parents and guardians
of youth. They must SO instruct those
committed to their charge that such
literature as is referred to will be abhorrent
to theirtastes, revolving, and as much Of
fensive to their literary stomachs as would
be a nauseous dose to their physical. To
say that this is not possible is to deny that
love for the clean, beautiful and inspiring
cannot be cultivated, or that cleanliness
of the body cannot be made the habit of
life. Had we cur sway" there should be
such regulative features in the laws as
would exclude from public or other sale,
a very much larger class of sensual works
than are now condemned by the statutes
of the several States of the Union. We
cannot understand the sensitiyeness of the
law-maker that revolts at Paul de Rocks
works-far less offensive and demoralizing
than the libidinous creations of the Ath-
ertons and Riveses-and finds nothing to
condemn in the vile display of crime
records, police gazettes and other pictorial
denominations that are Haunted in the faces
of all who walk the streets, and which,
with their indecent pictures, lewd designs,
and horrible caricatures upon pictorial
art, are potential agencies for the corrup-
ton of the tastes of youth, and so famil-
iarize them with the base side of life, that
their sensibilities become deadened and
their adherence of the vulgar, gross and
brutal is converted into a morbid taste for
such food.

IT is neither encouraging to the cause
Of education Tor comforting to the cause
of social reform that there are 5000 girls
preparing to enter the New York Normal
College, where only 800 can be admitted.
The rush to the vocation of teaching sug-
gests the thought that it is deemed a
" refuge" for women. If that idea gains
firm footing the profession will suffer.
While as a rule women are naturally best
adapted to deal with children as pupils,
yet it is a fact that male teachers are alto
gether too few, and that the profession is
not calling to the ranks so much Of the
ability and skill of men as it should.

IT is said that everybody who is now adj
mitted to an audience Of the Pope must
have previously signed a document by
which he pledges himself neither to ask
anything of his Holiness nor to publish
anything that he may say. The fact is
not iattering to the general conception OF
the p%oliteness and courtesy of the pee-
pie who travel. If the Pope is visited
out of curiosity to such an extent hat he
is driven TO protect himself by such a rule,
it proves that most of his visitors are
sadly lacking in good breeding and ought
TO have the doors of the Vatican slammed
IN their faces.

The Chicago grocers are bitterly oppos-
ing the bill TO prevent adulteration of food
products and supplies. If they sell adul-
tered goods, what have they to fear? The
fact is that they sell any amount of adul-
terated goods, as do all grocers nor can
they very well help themselves, since the
crime is with the manufacturers, very few
of whom do not practice deceit in this
respect. The grocers ought to be the warm
est friends of the proposed measure. They
have nothing to lose by it, and much to
gain.

A BosroN statistician states that seven
tenths OF the marriage engagements that
are broken are broken by women. We do
not believe 1t. How could the statistician
have asc ertained what he alleges to be
fact? In the very nature of things his
witnesses would be prejudiced, and neither
he nor any other is competent to decide
which is right and which wrong in a suf-
fieient number of lovers q%uarrels to justify
any reasonable statistical deduction. The
fact is that woman is more constant than
man, and were it possible to ascertain the
exact statistical data, our assertion would
be proved.
