Indians and Whisky.

They will drink whisky-and what
Indian will not ?-but even in this
they observe method and degree
of decency that white topers would
do we'll to initiate. When a band or
family decide to get drunk they send
to the nearest market for one or more
gallons of liquor. In spite of the law
forbidding the sale of intoxicants to
Indians they have no difficulty in
finding white agents willing to pro.
cure the stuff for them. 1t is indeed
stuff, and that of the vilest character,
though for it the Indians are made
to pay at least double the price of the
best quality; but what frontier trader
regards it as any thing but meritor.
iousto cheat a red-skin?
With the liquor in their possession
the Indians retire to some remote
spot where their orgies will not be
witnessed by any save themselves,
and deliberately prepare for their
spree. They first set aside share of
the "fire water" for the squaws. who
will not touch a drop of it until their
lords have finished their debauch.
AL guns. knives and other weapons
are then placed in charge of the
squaws. or, if there are no women in
party, they are all delivered to one
of the men, for whom a certain
amount of the :liquor is reserved.
While the rest are drunk this guar
dian of the peace must remain sober
and keenly watchtul of the actions of
his companions. Should he prove
unfaithful to his trust he will be
exiIed from the tribe, and no Indian
will hold communication with him
for the term of months or years dur
ing which his exile is enforced.
While the debauch of his companions
lasts he is absolute master of the sit
uation, and is at liberty to use any
amount of force, even TO the taking
of life, to repel an attempt to regain
possession Of the weapons. If these

COMPROMISE. Compromise with
evil is always dangerous. The devil
will be sure of the best half of the
bargain. You are on his ground !;
the first step in the wrong direction
not only makes the second easier, but
makes it almost inevitable you
must take the second to vindicate
your conduct in the first. The slow
drift from the course of duty is not
less dangerous than the sudden out
break of sin, The latter warns and
arouses the former chlorofOrms the
moral nature. The volcanic erup-
ton in the life of David, disclosing
the liquid flames beneath ready to
swallow him up. extorted the cry for
forgiveness and help; his greater

A Hopeless Case.

The freaks of absent minded people
are often amusing to hear of, but 80
great is the Inconvenience which
they cause to the perpetrators and to
their friends that one never hears OF
them without the feeling that absent
mindedness is to be summed as dis
ease, and fought against in every
possible way. An amusing instance
of the plight into which an absent
minded man may cOntriye to get
himself occurred at an ordination in
Maine not long since, when a num-
Der of clergynen were gathered to
ordain one of their brethren.
The place was county town, and
the visitors, instead of being quar-.
tered at hotels, were distributed
among the members of the society at
whuse church the ordination was to
take place.
DR.. Blank, who was to preach the
sermon, stayed with an old deacon.
and, as it CHANGED, was quartered in
a room upon the door of which was a
spring lock.
Just as the moment came for driY.
ing to church, DR.. Blank appeared in
the parlor where the family were
waiting, and announced that when
he had come out Of his room he had
forgotten to put the catch of the lock
down. and had left on the table with.
in not only TIE key, but the sermon
he was about to deliver.
For an Instant there was complete
CONSERVATION. but fortunately the
son of the family reccollected that
there WAS duplicate key, which was
produced, and the doctor went
placidly upstairs after his manu-
script.
Three minutes later he reappeared
with an expression of mingled con-
triton and despair upon his lace,
and explained that when he got to
his room he could not remember
what he had come for, and had star =
ed to ask, but had been brought to
his senses when the door. once more
swung to behind him,andthe realized
that it had again shut in .hIs sermon.
There Was no locksujth within
call and it would have been desper-
ate case for the doctor had not the
son once more come to the rescue by
procuring a ladder, and climbing in
at the window Of the chamber.
He took the double precauti0n of
taking from the table his own key,
and of setting the door open with a
chair against it, ana the clergyman.
who was profuse in his thanks, once
more went upstairs to get his sermon.
When he came down, the family
started for church. and just as they
reached it the hostess remarked with
smile, that the congregation would
not know how near they came to hav-
ing no sermon. AT the words sud-
den paleness came over the face of
Doctor Blank.

he gasped holding out the key to his
room. 81 took the kew instead ~

a Walk Under the Sea

Prof. Alexander Winchell. in a
vivid description of walk under the

has been gathering since the ocean
descended to take possession of its

Fear nj EXPLOSION,

A disastrous explosion occurred yester
day evening in the Chicago Sugar Refinery
Conrany's plant. Oae man was fatally
hurt and twenty others severely burned.
Spontaneous combustion is supposed to have
been the cause. The building is two
story brick structure, separated from the
tall main building. Twenty seven men
were at work In the starch room, and Gen
eral Manager Arnold Behr had just entsred
the building when there came tremendous
clap, followed by flashes of fire and the
rumbling of falling tmbers. Shattered por-
tons of the building and machinery were
hurled in every direction, and the workmen
10 an instant found themselves beneath
mass of debris, which was soon ablsze. Two
hundred men were employed in the main
building. When they heard the report Of
the explosion and saw the glare Of the flames,
they were panic stricken. Rushing down the
long, narrow stairways headloDg and out
into the air, it vas some moments bsfore
they realized the position of their comrades
and began q rescue. Cries for help, sound
ing above the roar of the fire, brought the
main building men 10 their senses. With
tine aid of eighteen fire engine crew7, the big
refinery was barely saved. A score of
bruised and bleeding victims were soon be
ing deposited on improyised couches 10 the
laboratory Of the company. Outside OF this
laboratory, wives, mothers and children
were c'amoring for admittance. but were
kept back by the police.

SAD Observation-Disclosures of two dis
tressiug accidents in the neighborhood of
Bald Eagle, about three miles above Lynch
burg, on james river, was received 10 that
city yesterday. Ga Wednesday Mr.. Robert
Campbell was burning brush on his farm on
the Amherst side, his little nine-year-old
daughter being with him. The little girl
was standing near one of the fires when her
dress caught in bsza and she was 80 badly
burned that she died from her injuries in a
short time.
Mr. Thomas Haight aud wife, living on
the opposite side of the river, learned of the
accident, and decided to go over and spend
the night with their ftfi;cted neighbors.
They started about dusk to Gre 81 the river in
small boat. Through some mishap the
boat was oaps'zed, and the husband and wife
we're both drowned while on their mission
of love. Eight children are left orphans by
this double calamity, and the eympsthies of
the neighborhood are stirred to the depths.
