INDIAN RCPARTEE.
Lo Can BE witty and Ken on Occasion,
as These Stories Show.

Ex-Gov. j. Sterling Morton, of
stories ut the Capitol the other day,
apropos of the recent troubles in
South Dakota and Nebraska.
The Indian, said he, has an idea
that the white man lives in luxury off
the work of others, and yet the agents
in the Northwest are constantly telling
him that the white man gets his living
by labor. One of our agents lecturcd
old Spotted Tail very roughly for the
idieness of his people. he told the old
warrior that the white man got his
fine clothes, elegant home and choice
victuals by hard work; that the white
man worked from morning till night
in field, office or shop. Old Spot
listened with great prOfouudnesS till
the agent was done. then said that the
words bad touched his heart deeply;
that lie had heard something like that
from other agents, but nothing had
ever 50 deeply moved him. The adj
vice had gone deep into his heart and
wrought 4 great conviction.
81 am convinced that what YOU say
is true, said the old chief, and | Shall

we must have tools with which to
work. We want the Great Father at
Washington to send us the tools-and
the same kind of tools that his people
work with. You 90 and tell him to
send Us 4 lot Of those grecn-covered
tables with sticks and red and white
balls, aud we will work from early sun
up till midnight, as the men out here

posts. | would like to hear better irony
from a white mau.n
Another one: ''Old White Cloud
once cntered Il suffers store in our
neck q woods and announced his inten-
ton to make Il tour of his friends on
the reservation further West. White
Cloud was very proud and vain. He
said: i am much travelled. The

''knd the old proud Chef straight
ened up, and. posing, waited. The
sutler told the man about the store to

give them TO White Cloud. When the
three plugs, instead of three caddies,
were handed TO the Chief he took them
and slowly raising his blanket. placed
them next his breast. Then he folded
his blanket closely about him and rose
several inches in height For some
moments he looked sternly at the
sutler, then broke The silence: White
Cloud has seen many white men, but

TiPPU TlS ON SLAVERY.
White Men Have incorrect Ideas of Afro
Arabian Mann'rS and Customs.

Tippu Tip, who is on his way to
Mecca, said recently: white men
have incorrect ideas Of Our manners and
customs. They have the eifrontery to
propose to abolish ut once in other
lands institutions which quite recently
flourished in their own. am told that
in big country called Russia some
years ago nearly all the common peo-
pie were slaves. and great misery has
befallcn them since they became their
own masters. What is the difference
between a slave and a servant?
The servant is free and may leave
his master when he pleascs. SO may
my slaves. | have no guards TO keep
them from deserving me. They are too
we'll content with their lot to run
away. If were unjust TO them per-
haps they might flee. But what would
happen TO them? They would simply
fall once more into the power of their
equals. to be sold again, to be maltreat-
ed. to be killed perhaps, or to toll, very
likely twice as hard as they did before.
You say ii is immoral to own slaves;
that slavery debases men and put them
on level with cattle.
exchange the abominable yoke of Il
negro tyraut for the protecting care
Of an Arab master whose religion
commands him to be benevolent and
just. You say negroes are our brethren.
Well. we treat them quite faternally,
since we raise our children with theirs.
We are kinder 10 them than YOU are
to your lackeys. / should not dare
to treat negro as | have often seen
white travellers treat their white sery-
ants. If we buy men it is only because
they are offered to Us, and we can not
procure labor in any other way; and |
am sure that it is better for them to
fall into our hands than into those of
tribal enemies who kill or further de-
grade them.
If you call it immoral to compel
men to work for their bread. men who
would rather steal it than win ii honor
ably, | should like to ask on what
basis your morality rests. Ii all the
savages and cannibals of Africa could
be reduced to a condition of slavery.
their children would some day con-
stitute nations and would bless Us for
lifting t"cm ont Of Il state of sayagery.
The slave trade exists every where in
the Iulcrior aud the African himself
does not wish to suppress it. He would
sell himself if he were cmancipated.
Freedom for him means nothing more
than license to steal, to kill, TO ret
drunk. You come here with your
theories fran Europe, but tell you the
facts as they exist in Africa"

A SCARED BISHOP.
He Was Given n Hint TO Leave the Hotel,
and Took 1t.

Speaking of practical jokers reminds
me. saws AN ex-Diplomatis; III tie
\. Y. Tribune. that they often serve
the purpose of Kidding the house OF
visitor whose presence, for one reason
or another. has become uncongeuIai.
I remember a case in point. which oc-
Cured not In England but at Shop
herds that famous old English liostelry
at Cairo which is inhabited throughout
the winter by coterie Of people
prominent in London society to the
exclusion of nearly all outsiders
Among the persons stopping at the
hotel during one of the winters which
| spent there was dignltary OF the
English church. an eX-colonial bishop.
who was accustomed TO frown upon our
innocent amusements and TO put on a
great deal too much side" and POM
positv for so rank an outsider rs an eX-
colonial preiate.
Determined 10 get rid of him. we got
hold one evening at about o'clock. OF
a gigantic fiamingo. ii most vicious
brute who dwelt in the hotel garden.
and tucked him in the bishops bed so
tightly that he could not move. Then
we fastened down the mosquito eur
tains. which were thick enough to con-
ceal the interior of the bed, except 10y
DAYLIGHT At about IL the bishop re-
fired. He unrobed himself by the dim
light of a candle. being unwilling to
attract mosquitoes by a more extern
siyc illumination, and then, having
performed his deyotions, eXtingaished
his light before drawing aside the
mosquito curtain to get into bed. The
moment he untucked the sheets the
imprisoned flamingo became released,
and, with a hoarse and furious croak,
| Jumped up and made an angry lunge
with its enormous beak at the bishop.
| The latter, terror-stricken. jumped
away, tearing down the entire canopy
| of the bed ,and fled, without much dress
| or dignity, around the long corridor.
| filling the air with his imprecatlons and
| appeals for assistance.
4 few steps behind him came the
now frantic bird with outstretched
wings and extended beak, croaking
with fury almost rs loud as the curses
of the bishop. The bird manifestly
was in pursuit of the right reverend
father. whom it held responsible for
its long imprisonment in the bed, aud
its ordinarily comlcal appearance was
further increased by the fact that part
of the mosquito netting of the bed was
hanging from its shoulders, much in
the same manner as clergyman's sur
plice.
The bishop finally got round to his
door again. and finding it open boted
in and locked it. The indignant bird
spent the remainder of the night wad-
ding up and down the corridor clapping
its beak and croaking until in the
morning the native gardeners were
summoned to remove it back 10 the
courtyard. Oar object, however, had
been attained for the bishop left on the
following day.
