at the advancing arrivals, and the spec
acle that met his eyes tested his power
of self control more than anything else
he had ever experienced, ho afterward
told his wife. His mouth twitciied, and
a smile flickered about his eyes, but he
managed to keep back the grin that
would have appeared at the faintest en-
couragement. Such sightl The eldest
girl was arrayed in Almiry's cast-otf
dress of navy blue, with some other girls
polonaise of red. Her sister was re-
splendent in dress of Scotch plaid pat
tern of most gorgeous colOrs originally,
but now somewhat subdued by time and
wear, still very vivid, and over it she
wore Jacket about three sizes too small
for her, the picturesque costume being
topped off by a hat trimmed with old
ribbon freshly dyed very bright magen-
ia color. The eldest boy had a pair of
trousers which fairly dragged at the
heels, and jacket which was long
enough for an overcoat, while the other
boy wore trousers so short that they
failed to meet the top of a pair of bright
blue stockings, while his jacket refused
to keep company with the top of his
/ trousers. Each article had peculiar
color of its own, and the general effect
was, as has been said, decidedly pictur,
esque. The minister had no inkling OF
what his wife intended to do, and the
sight of his family in such fine array sc
upset him for moment that he read the
verse he had just finished over again.

THE INDIAN MESSIAH.

For many years we have regarded the
Indians belief in Supreme Being as
very vague and underlined. He has,
however, appeared to recognize "Great
Spirit and ''happy hunting ground, :"
the home of the departed braves-a coun-
try where beautiful prairies and forests
are Astounding in game, watered by cool
streams, forming an ideal Indian heaven.
This belief seems part of his nature.
just as his love for his free and savage
life, which the advance of civilization is
forcing him to renounce. The buffalo is
thing of the past, and even the elk, the
antelope, and the deer have nearly dis
appeared, and he finds he must live on
the bounty of the white man or starve.
For years he has been confined to mill
tary reservations, and has chafed under
the restraint thus put upon him. Little
wonder he looks for change and longs
for his once free life, and gladly grasps
the new belief in the red Saviour, which
is rapidly spreading to every Western
tribe, and which the great chief Red
Cloud says will spread all over the
earth"
1t seems impossible to trace the exact
origin of this Indian faith. An Indian
from the upper Columbia River, named
Smohalla, preached the doctrine of an
Indian Messiah some ten years ago.
This Indian taught that there would be
an upheaval of nature, which would
destroy the white man, and restore to
the Indian his ancestral domains, and
that the dust of countless dead Indians
would spring to life, and would surround
without one word of warning each pale
face, who will be swept from the face of
the earth. None of the deadly weapons
of civilization or skill in their use will
avail, and the blood of eighty millions OF
whites will atone for the wrongs done
to the red race. Within few months
the belief In this new religion has spread
from tribe to tribe with marvellous rapid.
| ity. Rumors have traversed thousands
of miles to reach distant tribes and hear
the glad tidings. The Arapahoes, the
Shoshones, the great Sioux tribes, the
Cheyennes, both North and South, anG
many other tribes, have been taught the
faith; and the "ghost dance" the relig
ious ceremony of the creed is being
danced by all these tribes.

why THEY EMIGRArE.

1t has been noted that within brief
period the volume of our immigration
IRON Italy has doubled. A recent re-
port to the State Department from the
United States Consul General at Rome
explains why our Italian friends are
hocking to America in ever-increasing
numbers. Here are some of the prevail
ing rates of daily wrges in Rome: Stone
masons, 81 to $50 cents; carpenters, SO to
rs cents; blacksmiths, So to 6S cents: day
laborers, 20 cents. Clerks are paid from
IS to SIG a month. But deplorable as
the labor situation is in Rome, it is still
worse in other portions of the kingdom.
Florence, that city over which so many
Americans go into raptures, owes her
wealth of artistic and architectural
beauty to men whose lives must have
been an actual battle with starvation.
Finishing sculptors, who have to be real
artists, earn in Florence only so cents to
81. 40 per day, the most skilled and intel
| ligent workmen in marble only go cents
to $2.20, and ordinary stone cutters 40 to
go cents, while not few of what we re-
gard as the necessaries of life are dearel
there than they are in America. Meat
| for instance, is from II to 30 cents O
pound. In Ancona, bricklayers, black
smiths and carpenters earn from ~ u
| 90 cents day, matters and shoemaker'
40 to so cents and tailors 40 to go cents
At ,Leghorn, wages for a week OF "
hours-10 hours day-are: Bricklayer
$685., masons S4.60, plasterers, roofer
and plumbers $500, carpenters S4.60
In the light of these figures we can read
lily understand why italian laborer
should be pouring by shiploads into tn
United States, and eagerly accepting tn
meanest and least remunerative work
should pronounce this land a perfect L
Dorado. The extreme and mstime

CONVICTED HIMSELF.
Cregier Does Himself Up to the Queens
Taste.


Taste.
There can be no doubt of the con
viction of De Witt c. Cregier if the
coming special Grand Jury indicts him
for willful omission of duty.
He has already convicted himself.
When he ordered the City Hall jan
itor to destroy the copies of THE CHI
cAGo EAGLE sent to the City Council,
he convicted himself.
He thus confessed to a guilty knowl-
edge of the existence of gambling and
his fear that the Aldermen would learn
of it.
1t was just like the act Of a man
who wears a 81 hat.
Cregier imagined that this act would
prevent the Aldermen from learning
the truth.

Buyinr Historical Chairs.

An incident of Gen. Sheridan's visit to
Europe during the Franco-Prussian war
is omitted from his article in the Novem-
Der Scribner's, perhaps, through ignor-
ance of the facts. When the general
reached Berlin he asked the American
minister to recommend to him some
young American, who could speak Ger
man fluently, TO act as an interpreter
The minister recommended Mr.. Charles
+. MacLean, better known TO New
Workers as n police commissioner than as
an interpreter, and he followed Gen.
Sheridan through the campaign. The
general relates in Scribner's how Bis
marck the great and Napoleon the little
sat on rude wooden chairs in front of a
cottage near Sedans discussing the stu
alton, and there is picture showing the
two men, one triumphant, the other
downcast, in the peasants garden. A
few days later Gen. Sheridan dined with
Bismarck, who began to talk of the SUI
render. THAT meeting" said the Prus-
sian chancellor, Twill be historical. /
sent over yesterday and bought those
two chairs from the peasant for ten
francs apiece; now l have them as
mementoes; and / suppose" he added,
with a laugh, 1.-THE English will go on
buying those chairs for years to come"
There was a general laugh at this re-
mark, but one officer had more 10 laugh
at than the others, and gave his reasons
to Mr.. MacLean afterward. "You see"
he said, Il knew as well as Bismarck
that the meeting would be historical, so
the very next>day rode over myself and
got the chairs for five francs for the
pair. San Francisco Argonaut.

She Painted Her Lips.

A very funny accident happened at a
reception where a bright woman, who
was out for the first time after a long
illness, was the victim. Just before she
left home some one said that she had
better put some color on her lips, as they
looked perfectly blue. A serpent in the
shape of charming girl volunteered her
mixture, one of carmine and giycerine
(Which, If any is to be used, Is most de-
sirable), and she carefully painted the
invalid's mouth, putting the most color
in the centre, to give 1t the desired rose
bud effect. The newly painted was
warned that she could eat or drink any
thing cold, but of anything hot she
was to beware. Remembering this, she
declined going into the supper room,
and was the center of a group of men,
and having the largest kind of q time,
when al imp Of darkness, in the form of
a footman, came along with tray on
which were cups of coffee and glasses Of
punch. Without a thought the "ladye
faire" took a cup Of coffee; she slipped 1t
slowly, and then, horrors Of horrors,
made bad worse by wiping her mouth
on tiny napkin which had been given
her. She soon saw surprise on the faces
Of some of the men. One glance at the
damask in her hand told her what was
the matter, and with providential pres
ence of mind she put it up to her lips
again, leaned on the man nearest to her,
whispered in muffied tones that she was
i'll and must go home. Out of the draw
ing room, quickly she got on her wraps,
and when she was helped to her carriage
the man who had been her stand by
could not resist telling her that he was
sure she must be ill because her lips had
grown so pale. However, the men were
good fellows and they never told On her,
though she swore by every one Of the
Buddhist gods and all of the Chinese
devils that she'd submit to green lips
again before she would get in such fix.
