UNEASY INDIANS.

Western people say that there are no
good Indians but the dead ones. 1t is
evident that there are some ingeniously
bad Sioux still alive. Sioux medicine
men" are announcing that they have had
a revelation from the Great Spirit, who,
having sufficiently afflicted the red men
for their sins, is about to destroy the
white men for theirs. He is going to COW
er the earth with thirty feet of additional
soil, well sodded and timbered, smother
ing the white men beneath it. If any of
them escape, they are to be turned into
fishes All the dead Indians are even
now on their way back to the earth, driv-
ing enormous herds of buffalo and droves
of wild horses before them. Pending
their arrival, and the superimposition OF
the extra thirty feet, the Great Spirit will
cause the white men to forget the art Of
making gunpowder, and will render the
stock of that article now on hand quite
harmless when the gun is leveled at RED
man. This stuff finds many believers
and among those who accept it are som'
who have been looked upon as intelligen
and progressive.
1t is supposed that crafty old Sitting
Bull is at the bottom of the performance
and he is being looked after. If he il
found to be making mischief he should b
promptly sat upon. The best time t.
stop an Indian war is before it begins.

sOur folks at home had some old silver
spoons that had been in constant service
for generations, and were small and thin,
and carried in their shallow bowls the
marks of every tooth in the family. Each
spoon had q history and an association, as
spoons did have in those days, and they
were looked after with the greatest care.
Ny mother placed them under her pillow
every night, and the whole family would
be regularly awakened by a midnight clat-
ter of rattling spoons, as they had a rest
less habit of falling out of bed, so their
value was enhanced by the many sleepless
nights they cost.
"Well, one of those precious spoons was
missing, and there was a great to do over
it. The servants were all questioned, but
night a colored girl, who had been taken

PROTECTION PROTECTING.

What can be done and is done under q
protective tariff is well illustrated in the
case of wire nails. Before 1888 the duty
on wire nails was II cents per pound.
There were imported in 1882, !, 800, 900
kegs of 100 each. During the same period
there were manufactured in the United
States less than $4,000 kegs. The lowest
price known was Sc per keg, and the i'm
porters often ran up to $40 per keg. In
1883 the duty was raised to four cents per
pound. The industry, being then pro-
tected, Immediately attracted to itself large
capital. Mills were built in various Sec
tions of the country. Thousands of hands
were given remunerative employment.
| Not a keg of nails has been imported since
1884. In 1889 the known production
reached the enormous aggregate of $780,
600 kegs. They were marketed as low as 90
cents, and never passed 2.5 cents pei
pound. The average wages paid the
worker was S2 is per day. The mills rar
800 days. Over $4,000 operatives were
employed. The average dependent on eact
operative being five, market was thu
created for the sale of farmers products
to feed 1876, 200 persons. A keg of wire
nails can now be purchased in any hard
ware store in the country for 50, as agains
from So to $12 under tariff for revenu,
only.

Rev. Mr.. Vrooman, now Chinese inter-
prefer in the California courts, who was
for twenty-five years missionary at Cam
ton, and was subsequently among the Chi
nese in Melbourne, informed me that he
knew of two Chinese in the latter place
who made living for themselves and for
a horse from quarter of an acre of land.
In addition to supporting themselves and
the horse they each sent fifty dollars year
" to their relatives at home.
A population of eight hundred to the
square mile is not uncommon in the best
agricultural districts in China. In that
country, if anywhere, missionaries should
devote their best energies to urging the
practice of the Malthusian doctrine. But

daughters being household shadows and

to some small extent by the murder of fe
