have not come TO Bodie looking for

Naming the Natives.


Lake Indian Reservation, the {. & c.
trains stop about 10 minutes to take
wood and water. The passengers gen.
orally get out to see the country, and
lately they are much surprised TO hear
the Indians in addressing each other
use such Christian names as Bert
Conner or Susie McGillis instead of
Man Afraid To Work, or Woman With
the Dirty Face, the names used by their
forefathers This way of naming the
Indians was inaugurated about two
years ago by the two young white lady
school teachers, who have charge Of
the Indian school.
When they first started in they named
the Indians aitet the railroad boys;
for instance, one of the pupils who
was noted Tor his goodness and piety,
was named Deacon Gale
Another who was noted for his
gallantry and fascinating ways among
the female members of his tribe, was
nanel Neil Ward.
One pupils fondness for Nova
Scotia turkey caused SO many cod-tis
scales to grow on his back, that he was
called Dave Pitman.
Another who took particular pains
in tormenting the young members of
his tribe, who were in that delicious
state called "love,' was given the
name of Joseph Hanson Willis.
Harry Lind is the name that one In
dian will have to go through life with
on account OF his propensity to use big
words, which dislocated his jaw so
often that the business end of mule
was kept constantly going to kick
them iato place again.
| Cheese is diet that does not find
favor among the Indians, as they claim
it interferes with their digestion. Ore
of the pupils consumed so much of
this article of food, especially of the
limberger variety, that he began to
talk German like a native, and was
named Albert Stock.
An Indian was observed one evening
wallzing with squaw, supposed to be
his best girl, TO the tune of a cracked
harmonica, manipulated by Captain
Ben. Inquiry developed the fact that
they bad learned this modern accom-.
plishment while or a visit to the
Italian Colony in Dayton. The buck
was named Francisco Sagimacina
Tic kner, and the squaw Inez Cagwin.
An unwritten law among the In
dians discourages the growth of hair
on the face, but young buck cast the
law to the winds and cultivated
mustacbe. The anxiety it caused him,
the tender care he bestowed on it, and
his frantic efforts to make the ends of
it take the proper curl, caused con-
siderable merriment among his tribe.
He was named Harry Epstine.
Sometime ago while the young lady
teachers were in Hawthorne on a visit,
one of them informed Jim Quinn that
she had named one of the pupils after
him, but she added (oh, 50 innocently)
that the poor fellow was found dead
the next morning.

THE GILLIAN IMBROCLIO.

The latest advices from Chill regarding the
demand which the United States have made
for reparation and apology for the unwar-
rantable assault recently committed by
Gillian citizens and the police of Valparaiso
upon inotienSiye American sailors in that
city arc not at all reassuring. The little
South American republic seems to have com
pletely lost its head. and. having succeeded
in e~tfectlng a revolution against the designs
and schemes Of the would-be s~utocrat and
dictator, Balmaceda, evidently imagines that
it can whip the world. Like the toad in the
fable, the Gillian Junts seem TO think that
they can expand themselves 10 the size of a
bull, and that they can insult aud brave all
other governments with impunity.

The New York Sun discovers a very fa7ora-
bic sign for the Democratic party in New
York State in the fact that in every instance
in which large indoor mass-meetings have
been held there has been On unexamplel at
tendance Of ladies. who have been observed
10 listen to the different speeches with as
much interest and with as much intelligent
discrimination as if they were politicians who
were deeply versed in all the political mys-
teries of the Empire state.
At the great meeting in Madison Square
Garden Tuesday evening. on which occasion
both Hill and Cleveland spoke, a large part of
the floor was occupied by female auditors Of
the highest refinement in appearance and
respectfully in the point of character.
In consequence of the presence of ladies'
at the New York mass-meetings, il has been
found that these occasions have been conduct
ed on higher level OF thought and manners
without detracting o particle from their po-
lit.cal interest, and such there is reason 10 be-
lieve would be the effect under similar cir
cumstances everywhere. In Virginia, it is a
common thing to discover ladies in earshot

people from platforms on the court green. and
when the orator is very celebrated. a large
proportion of his audience is always composed
OF ladies, whose well directed applause does
much TO inspire the speaker to still higher
flights of eloo uence and still more profound
exhibitions Of logic.
The influence which emanates from their
presence is a softening and refining one, and
IS always effective in REFRESHING too strong a
disposition towards the employment Of
questionable anecdotes in illustration or en-
forcement Of political points. If a consider
able part Of our popular audiences was OIL
ways composed of ladies' it would do much
TO improve and elevate the tone Of our politi-
cal life without curtailing the legitimate free
dom in expression of our public speakers.
The latter would be put more upon their
mettle than they are now. because they would
recognize that a mixed audience Of men aud
women is much more critical and much more
difficult to please than an audience composed
of men exclusively.
We hope that the growing custom Of ladies'
attending mass-meetings in New York will
spread throughout the Union. and that the
public men of the whole country will have
the benefit Of the knowledge from actual
observation which will DO thus acquired 10y
their wives. their sisters, their aunts and
their sweethearts.

The determination of Mrs. Hazard, who
has Just been awarded. by the decision Of the
New York Court Of Appeals. the greater por-
tion of the enormous fortune OF her great
uncle, the late Samuel j. Tilden. 10 devote
one-half of her share OF this property thus
acquired. to the accomplishment of her rela-
tlve's testamentsry wishes. with respect to
the establishment of a public library in New
York city, will be warmly approved by nj
who have felt any interest in Mr.. Tilden's be-
quest.
The fact that Mrs. Hazard is simply carry
ing out n a very much modified form the dlrec-
| tions of Mr.. Tilden should not blind us TO the
high minded and generous character of her
act. Her right to the whole of her share.
which amounts TO four millions of dollars. is
not to be questioned. and she could retain all
that las thus come TO her without her con-
duet being open TO serious impugnment. She
is legally entitled TO these four millions, and
her REIMBURSEMENT Of her legal right to one
half is in the nature of a gift pure and simple.
la this age. when wealth is perhaps more
valued than at any preceding period in history.
it is not a common occurrence for men to vol
UNFAIRLY give up so enormous asum for public
uses unless some special glory is TO be re-
flected directly upon them thereby. This Is
not the case with Mrs. Hazard. and there is
no reason to doubt that she ia actuated by
unselfsh motives.
The citizens of New York should be thank.
ful that they have secured for the general
benefit of their community so large a part of
the fortune of Mr.. Tlden. 1t Will be a last
ing stain upon the reputation of the city Il
the gift of Mrs. Hazard does not receive by
popular subscriptions sufficient additions to
make up the sum of Mr. Tlden's original be-
quest. The history Of the Grant monument
is. however, unfavorable TO the liberal spirit
of the New Workers. and the probability is
that the Tlden Library will have to rely exclu-
siyely upon the money which the niece of Mr..
Tilden has Just given for its erection and sub
seQuent support.

| Government can do but insist rDon
| reparation. Chill may burst herself IN
trying TO expand herself to the dimensons
of the great North American bull. andyct
that bull cannot disregard her arrogance,for
though she may be only q gnat on the Dnis

quietly. and finally penetrate beneath the
hide of the animal. she may become exceed
ingly troublesome.
Then again there is a great principlsin-
volved. which is neither more nor less tan
the duty which this country owes to its it'll

have always borne the reputation Of bang

frequently drawn between Great Irit-

than submit to the maltreatment or OPP
preston of the meanest Of her subjects,
and this Government, which apparently re-
CARDS the protection Of its people when ouside
Of its Jurisdiction rs O matter Of little concern.
This indifference has indeed gotten to1e a
byword and a r~eproach TO our country. and
il is time it ceased. even though an example
has to be made of so small a country as Chill.
1t may be that the present administration
has magnifed the difficulty so as to gain Sme
credit to itself by making it appear that 1t

make reparation and apology or she NUT be
compelled to do so by superior force.

SOME weeks ago We called attention TO the
bitter complaint which the Chicago Inter
Ocean had then recently made of the New
York press for its supposed indifference
10 the general interests of the West, but
especially Of Chicago, a very striking IL
lustration OF which, mentioned by the
inter-Oceau, was that the New York pa
pers had given a very full account of the IN
yelling of the Lee statue with full-length pic
lures OF the monument. but had contented
themselves with describing very briefly the
unwilling Of the Grant statue in Chicago,
without giving any pictorial representation Of
it whatever. The explanation Of this par
TALLY. in the opinion Of the Inter
Ocean. was that Chicago was q rival Of New
York, and was, therefore, to be ignored while
Richmond was too insignificant 10 be feared.
What will our Chicago contemporary think
now when itobseryesi two Of the leading Jour-
nails of New York-the World and the Herald
