Learning a Language.

"You know the story Of the man
who had a recipe for learning any
language in twenty-four hours?" asked
Senior Federico Mora, of Costa Rica, at
the Sherman House yesterday. "It is
extremely simple. Just divide the lam
guage into twenty-four parts and learn
one part each hour. l didn't do it quite
like that, but | went at the English
language the longest way round. / was
a boy 10 years old and had gone to
Latin school where we had to speak
Latin altogether. | knew that a great
many words in English were of Latin
derivation and 1 set myself to learn the
language. | got me a pronouncing
dictionary and then went to work. It
was hard work, and at the end of two
years found / had learned hundreds
of words that I should never
use, that most English speaking people
do not even know the meaning of. In
English you have only about 10000
words. In Spanish there are about
half million. You make your
propositions do the work that we have
special words for. You have about 108
irregular verbs, irregular in two lenses
only. We have about $1,000 irregular
verbs, which may be irregular in any
and all lenses. Nevertheless a man
may learn Spanish easily in a year
sufficient for commercial purposes"

Cost Defense SOckdOIaSerS.

Of the great 16-inch sea coast gun for
which estimates are submitted. General
Benet, Chief of the Bureau Of Ordnance,
says the plans of the Fertilization
Board included forty-four of these guns
to defend ports of the first Importance.
The general ground upon which rests
the necessity for the procurement of
guns Of this caliber is that the land
defenses shall possess guns not only
equal in power to any that the attack
can bring forward, but that they shall
endeavor to hold the superiority in this
respect over the attack. Thirty-siX of
the torty-four 16-inch guns recon-
mended by this board are for the de-
Tense of the three chief ports, New
York, San Francisco and Boston. These
guns are to be mounted in pairs in
turrets occupying low and exposed
sites and commanding the principal
water approaches to the port. Owing
to their great cost but few of these
turrets will be erected, and their
armament should be of the heaviest
caliber ofguns attainable to justisfy their
expense and secure for them on often
sive power commensurate with the i'm
portance of the position they will oc-
cupy. The length of the proposed
16-inch gun is about 492 feet, the length
of bore 80 calibers, and the weight 125
tons. 1t will fire charge of about 900
pounds, with a projectile of over one
ton in weight. The estimated mhzzle
penetration in iron is about three feet,
and the maximum range is about fifteen
miles

The Marquis Brandy and Cigars.
From the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News
There has been any amount of sport
at the expense Of the Marquis of Sails
bury. 1t seems that when the Prim e
Minister and his wife returned from
their summer trip to the Continent they
brought back with them two and q half
gallons of fine brandy and large stock
of choice cigars. 1t would perhaps be
unfair to say that his lordship sought or
hoped to evade the vigilance OF the
customs officers. What did happen,
however, was that upon arriving at New
haven Lord Salisbury contrIved to get
his precious liquors and tobacco as far
as the private coach that was in waiting
for him. What betrayed him will per-
haps never be known; all at once two
argus-eyed and Briarean-harded Of
fcers swooped down upon that vehicle
and resurrected the brandy and cigars
from the wealth of lap robes and rugs
which enveloped them. Lord Salisbury
did not attempt to protest; he cheer
fully paid the $50 required for the pas
sage of the goods. But this was not
sufficient; the coachman was taken into
custody and detained several hours for
having been a partner to what upon its
face looked like clear attempt at
smuggling. Of course the Prime Min
lister had no difficulty In proving the
honesty of his coachman and securing
his release, but as there is a super
abundance of red tape In Europe even
the Prime Minister found the process
Of exculpation exceedingly tedious.

Indians Reported to be Ransacking De-
serted Homes of Settlers.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. GA Bee special
from Pine Ridge, S. D., says that word
was received through the Government
courier last evening that 200 lodges of
Rosebud Indians were raiding the homes
ofsettlers in the vicinity of Porcupine
Creek. The settlers themselves fed in
terror week ago. They left all their
household goods together with the stock.
The marauders are supposed to number
about 200 persons. General Wheaton
and his command, consisting of four
companies from Fort OmalAa, arrived
in camp, and consultation with officers
on the situation was at once held, the
result of which can not be ascertained.
An order was issued this morning
postponing the beef issue until to-mor-
row, and ordering all strangers except
Newspaper correspondents off the reser-
vation. There are about 5000 Indians
swarming in and about the agency; 100
more Indian scouts are being sworn in
and armed for service.

from the Grand River, Cheyenne, Rose
bud and Pine Ridge agencies are mass
ing at some point for stand against the
troops under Gen. Brooke. From
squaw men just in from Ziebach County
it is learned that bands of red men in
war paint have been passing through
that country for several days, moving
southwark. They were well armed
with Winchester rifles, had plenty of
ammunition, and were well equipped
with ponies. They were uniform
ly insolent and reticent. The place
of meeting agreed upon is reported
to be a heavily wooded point on
the White River ten miles above
the mouth of the south fork of
the White. This point is days ride
from Pine Ridge Agency, aud nearly as
far from Rosebud. The squaw men
have been threatened with death by
the hostiles, and are running away from
the Indian camps and giving up the
secrets of the Sioux. They have been
excluded from all ghost dances, and are
subjects Of special hatred.

A NEW THEORY.
That the Mormon Churc CHI is at the Back
of the Indian Troubles.

That the Mormon ChuT CHI is at the Back
of the Indian Troubles.
Gen Miles, while at Salt Lake City,
said the other day that he believed the
Mormons were at the bottom of all this
religious craze that has created such
turbulence among the Indians in the
Northwest. 1t is considered here in Zion
as extremely probable that the whole
disturbance is the direct outcome of the
teachings of Mormon missionaries, who
have always devoted themselves with
particular zeal to the so-called salvation
of aboriginal souls. One of the many
absurd fictiOns Of Mormon history, as
revealed to Joseph Smith by the golden
plates, is the account of the flight of
the Israelite, Lamar, from Jerusalem,
just before the holy city fell into the
hands of the Babylonian King Nebu-
chadnezzar. Lamar, SO the story goes,
made his way with a few associates to
the Mediterranean shore, embarked in
small fishing craft, and never stopped
sailing until the vessels keel grated on
the sands of the South American coast.
Lamar and his party were the progeni-
tors of the people who are now known
as the American Indians, and who are,
according to the romance, the purest OF
Isrselites, although the suns and storms
of centuries have changed them to a
coppery hue. AS the Latter Day Saints
are themselves the chosen people of the
Lord-true children of Isrel-they re-
gard these children of the forest as an
offshoot from the same common source,
hence their extraordinary sOllctlude
and unfagging zeal in leading them
back from their barbaric ways to the
faith of their fathers. John Smith, the
founder and first prophet, seer and
revelator of the church, was greatly
given to dreams and visions. On one Of
these occasions the Lord appeared be-
fore him and assured him that he
should live to the age of So, and that
before he died he should see the
Savior. Had he lived he would
have been IS years old in 1891, and
reckoning on this basis he prophesied
the coming of the Messiah in that year.
His appearance, however, was indef-
nitely postponed by President Wood
ruff last month, but through all these
years the Mormon missionaries, with
the fervor of fanatics, have been en-
joining their red brethren to prepare
for the coming Of the Messiah who was
scheduled for 1891

AN INDIAN EXQUISITE.
How Copper Co1ored Adonis Manages

From the Snnka ne Falls z Review

From the Spokane Falls Review
Louis, fne-looking young buck, evil
IDENTITY dude Indian, took the witness
stand. Louis stood six feet in his new
buckskins. His face was an interesting
study. Of a light copper color, with
regular features, except for rather
large mouth and strong prominent
cheek bones, Louis was good-looking
fellow. His eyes were keen and bright
and well set in his head below a high,
broad forehead.
1t was his black hair that was Louis
chief glory. Long and black as ravens
wing it was carefully combed and oiled
Instead of being brushed straight back,
thick bunch directly in the middle Of
the forehead was combed to the left and
hung in a graceful wave, and as regu-
larly pushed back into the place with a
stately movement of the hand. Two
long braids, bound with yellow and
white silk floss, fell from behind his ears,
over ON to his breast, which was ill-con-
cealed by a loose cotton shirt open
at the neck. On his arms and around
his neck were bands of beads. He wore
close-ftting leggings of navy blue,
trimmed with red braid, and broad
flaring fringe. Around his waist, and
hanging around his legs, was hand
some Navajo blanket of many colors.

SEA-SORROW.

Above our head the storm rack drives,
As madly sky with ocean strives.
Viii e the stern rocks look on:
One neer would dream
That, save in dream,
Here sunlight ever shOne
AS momently the tumult lulls,
We hear the cruel shrieking gulls
That seem to mock our pain;
But shoreward borne
To Us that mourn
The loved voice neer again.
As feathers show the white soft spray,
a bed where men tired limbs might lay
An! cruel as the grave
It's iron grasp:
From that close grasp
No love hath might to save.
They go down to the sea in ships,
Our kisses warm upon their lips;
1t bears then out afar,
When dawn is red
To fling our dead
Across the moaning bar.
Kind earth's dead blossoms bloom again;
Her buried seed yields golden grain;
But, all! what help may be,
Save on a far-off tideless shore,
That day when sea shall be no more,
To ease the smart
OF one whose heart
Lies buried in the sea?
