Complaints Loud and Deep Against the
Redskins.


Redskins.
Complaint has been made lately of a
carna OF S.wash. and American Indians
which Is located n Ballast island. near the
Columbia & Psgst Sound tracks. This
spot is a ceSpool OF vice and dehaacheyy,
and is filthy in the extreme. There are in
ali twenty nine tents and huts, many Of
them scarcely large enough for two per-
sons. but in this collection Of shanties,
which are closely hnddled together,
there is population of al
leas. I25 men. women and children. The
former DO no work and are said TO live on
the unFigkteous earnings OF the women.
One other bad feature al the camp is that
Yong white children CT both sexes. living
IN the vicinity. attracted from motives OF
curiosity, wander about the place for hours
at a sin4e, Witnessing sights and hearing
language that is corruption itself. The
place is a breeding spot Of disease by reason
of the habits OF the Indians. who know not
the first elements of cleanliness.
Mauy complaints have been made by the
Ocean dock people and others. who say
that the indians viii steal everything in the
way OF small articles they can lay their
hands on, and detection is very difficult.
The various complaints have reached Chief
Mitcheli's cars. and II is understood that
he viii take s,ers 90 have the plague-spot
eradicated. 4. Il Is disgrace 20 the city.

The Bees Won the Brush.

Maryland hunters were recently the
witnesses of very singular occurrence
during a fox chase. They started the
fox in short time, and soon the hounds
were in full cry. The fox kept up for
several miles and then, being hard pressed,
took to hollow tree III the woods.
Axes were procured and the tree soon
felled. The surprise of the hunters can
be better imagined than described when
they discovered they had captured dead
fox.
Further investigation showed that
bees, which were in possession of the
tree, had stung the fox to death in the
time it took to fell the tree. When the
dead fox was withdrawn from the hol-
low the bees began to come after and
made it warm for the hunters and their
horses. They decamped as speedily as
possible, some of them being badly stung.

PECULIAR INFATUATION.
Different Metho ds of oil wing the Iniuuc-
tiOn Love One Another"

Do men e-er fall in love with each other
Women do. Not long ago young woman
in New Jersey was married TO n youthful la-
bOrer on her fathers farm Sometime after
ward it was discovered that the husband was
a female: the young ife refused however
though earnestly entrcated by her friends to
give up her chosen Cun>ort Tie stranCest
part Of the discovery was the fact that the
bride knew her husband was woman before
she was led 10 the altar.
If men do not exhibit this strange infatua-
ton for one OF their own sex, they at least
Oftentiv1eS give evidence OF the tact that they
love one another. There are many instances
on record where one man has given his hfs

Crane Culture in America.

While we do not think it is at all
probable that the grape will entirely fail
in all parts of Europe, still, if it should,
we think it quite possible that America
alone would in a few years be able to
meet the demand, however large it
might be. There are vast regions Of
country in Arizona and in New Mexico
where the foreign varieties of the grape
will thrive as well as in California, now
the great centre of the Industry; while

products are not necessities, but merely
luxurles which, doubtless, do fully as
much harm as good.-Ne,0 York Sun.
