AN IDEAL MOSSBACK.
The Absolute observation-disclosures of the
American Indian.

| American Indian.
The Indian is mossback. To such a
degree eminent is this, that have heard
from certain Marco Polos of the West
that these MOSES offered coverts and
lurking places for tree toads and other
life alien and foreign to the Indian
do not, however, believe this.
The Indian is absolutely non-progres-
sive. He will wear breeches if your
philanthropy takes that form; that is he
will wear them after some architectural
alterations touching their rear elevation
from which they emerge as leggins. But
he will not make breeches for himself.
He will use paleface gun or saddle and
many of the paleface's garments when
he can get them, but it will never enter
his head to attempt to make them him
self. When the paleface luxury wears
out or breaks he returns phlegmatically
to early principles in supp, ying their
place. This is one of the main differ
ences between white man and an In
dian. The whites are inventive and
progressive; the Indian is at mental
standstill. He constructs his bow and
other weapons, his moccasins and the
rest of his harness exactly, so far as he
or white men know, as did his ancestors
any number of thousands of years ago
If he had to make an arrow head or a
Ratchet to-day, it would be flint. For
century he has used none but iron
which were made and given to him by
the Great Father at Washington, but
how they were made and of what, he
never once inquired He never had the
slightest idea of making them himself
and he never will.
The Indian is not a profound thinker
His appearance might mislead one on
this point His habit of sitting motion
less and silent for hours, the gravity of
his face. the manner Of closely wrapping
his blanket as though brooding over
half-formed thoughts which would pre-
sently hatch and find expression, is apt
to lead one astray. Venture to say that
Indians have sat thus for hours as, abso-
lutely without intellectual as without
physical motion and with no deeper cog
itations than those of some meditative
swapping turtle basking on log.
There is one thing peculiar to an In
dian. Whatever he does, he does per-
fectly, just as birds and animals do
With an Indians work tools no white
man. though he practice for years, can
do as we'll as does the savage the mo-
ment he is old enough to work at all.
He makes his moccasins as birds build
nests, perfect up to the possibilities Of
the material used. They never change;
neither take from or add to, and appa-
rently work from instinct rather than
reason.-Kansas City Star.

music-teacher, and one proof-reader.
They brought to the fitting of their fiat
all the taste and skill which the COM
bination furnished, and it is as dainty
and pretty nest as you will often find
in the ordinary walks of life.
They get milk, eggs, sliced beef, rolls,
and other good things from the bakery
"'round the corner" and with excellent
coffee or chocolate,o of their own making,
breakfast right royalty. The heartier
dinner is taken outside, in neigh bor-
ing cafe or downtown, as circumstance
admit, and the light supper is prepared
at home. Each girl takes her turn in
getting breakfast or supper. washing
dishes for week, ETC., so that all do
their share incontributing to both labor
and expense.
They have certain evenings on which
they go out, others on which they read
or study quietly at home (they are good
French and German scholars), and one
evening a week on which they are ''at
home" to their numerous friends
Curious it is to see how popular their
home is with everybody who knows
them! Graybcards and their wives, old
ladies and their grandsons, schoolgirls
and their aunts, all flock to see these
girl bachelors.
"You ought to have seen these young
men when we first had our at homes, 1"
said one of them. "They looked upon
us as strange. and on the whole, rather
dangerous freaks of nature, who were
possessed of matrimonial designs upon
them. But after edgirg their way care
fully for time, they evidently made
up their minds that we were perfectly
harmless. and they are the jolliest COM
pany in the world now"
Not that there is any thing of the
good fellow" about these girls; they
are ladies, every one of them, and al
ways have an old aunt to chaperone
them, although, as one OF them wittily
remarks: ''Chaperons for us are fool
ish and useless concession. 1t is per-
feet nonsense for women who GO every
whore daytimes, alone, and support
themselves by their wits, to set up a
weak and defenseless old lady as pro-
lection at night. A revolver or a big
mastiff would be more sensible for u.s.
These girls are all young and pretty,
and indications now point to a breaking
up of the girl-bachelor home at an early
date, in order that two or three new
ones, after the old-fashiOned sort, may
be established. But the new homes
will not suffer because of this expert
ment, and it was much better that those
girls while earning their own living had
the comforts of home, and were sought
out in it by their lovers, than to have
gone husband-hunting.-H M.Wins-
low, in Demorest's Monthly.

In WOMAN'S BEHALF.
woMAN,s LOT.

What can a woman do
When the worid-ber world-grows dark
Where can woman go!
For what strange shore embark!
How shall she ease the slow.
Strong ache of heart pierced through
Where can a woman go.
What can O woman dol
Men can ride away
To some far battle ground.
And merge their fate in the fray,
Till the old seems lesser wound;
Dash through the tempest there,
Swoon on the earth blood-wet
Till many dead mans stare
Shall nerve them to forget!
What can a woman do!
Nothing but walk her way,
Wakeful the long nights through,
Holding her peace by day.
Patient, and still, and pale.
Helpful at each demand
Maybe child's weak wall,
Maybe wrinkled hand
Save as her duties show.
Save to be strong and true.
Where can woman go:
What can q woman dor

WISE couNssLs PREVAILED.

The temptation to count out the Fifth
and Seventh wards because Of frauds was
very strong upon the Democrats.

everywhere felt outraged at the bold de-
iance and insolent recklsssness Of the
Republican managers and at the ignor-
ant black creatures who have done their
bidding TO murder liberty and cruelty the

The question was whether il we're bet
ter to await the correction Of these
abuses by legal means and the just in
dignation of tho people or to throw out
these wards without form Of law, because
Of the notorious, acknowledged and uni
versally recognized frauds.
The right Of revolution is always witt
a free people. The laws proceed from
the people, and, under great stress, the
people can break the laws, make pre-
cedents, check scoundrelism and prevent
outrageous infrlngements Of their rights
and liberties, because they are a law unto
themselves.

THE story that Senator Higgins was
overheard directing FIVE negroes, presum.
ably Republican repeaters, TO 60 to the
polls at Eighth and Tatnall to repeat some
more has come to us well authenticated,
but we are 10th to believe that the Sena-
tor, though an intense partisan and
remembered by the older members
Of the community, TO have INDUCED
in some reprehensible practices in politi.
cal contests when younger man, could
have been guilty Of such an act now. It
does not seem credible that as an older
man and as digniied member OF the
United States Senate he would advise
ignorant negroes to become law break
ers and to desecrate the purity Of the
ballot box.
