A Woman on the Indian.

Miss Sckles, who for four years was Il
teacher among several tribes of Indians,
and who is now out west at the suggestion
of Secretary Proctor, said to the writer
just as she was leaving for her new post:

lieve that the Indian has not been treated
fairly, aud am also one who believes that
kindness to the Indian Is the surest way to
solution OF the Indian problem. or
course this is broad statement. do not
mean that the indians can be made good,
for am not ready to believe that. am
talking about the Indians as u whole.

l.socintions of wild Horses.

Life in societies is again the rule with
the large family of horses, which includes
the wild horses and dunkeys of Asia, the
zebrns, the mustangs, the cimarrones of
the PampaS, and the half Nli horses of
Mongolia and Siberia They all live in
numerous associations made up of many
studs, each of which consists of number
of mares under the leadership Of male.
These numberless inhabitants of the Old
and the New Worlds, badly organized on tho
whole for resisting both their numerous
enemies and the adverse conditions of eli
mate, would soon have disappeared from
the surface of the earth were it not for
their socnble spirit. When a beast of prey
approaches them several studs unite at
once; they rcpulse the beast and sometimes
chase it, and neither the wolf nor the bear,
not even the lion, can capture a horse or
even Il zebra as long as il is not detached
from the herd.
When drought Is burning the grass in

''Casars Column" story of the
twentieth century, was issued last June
by a new and comparatively unknown
pnblishing house. The name on the
iiGe page was Edmund Boisgilbert, M
D., and it was given out that this was Il
pseudonym. The leading magazines and
reviews, with one exception, and many
of the great newspapers entirely ignored
the book, and everything at first was
against its success. 1t created the most
profound interest, however, among those
who read it, and soon became talked
about. Considerable guessing was done
as TO the real name of the author, among
those prominently named being Judge

SOt Luck. But Work.

Twenty clerks in a store, twenty hands
in printing Office, twenty apprentices in a
shipyard, twenty young men in town, all
want to get on in the world, and expect to
do so, says an old merchant:
Zone of the clerks will become partner,
and make fortune; one of the compositors
will own a newspaper and become IN inhu-
entail citizen; one of the apprentices will
become a master builder; one of the vii
layers will get a handsome farm, and live
like patriarch but which one is the lucky
individual? Lucky! There is no luck
about it. The thing is almost as certain as
the rule of three. The young fellow who
will distance his competitors is he who
masters his business, who preserves his in
tegrity, who lives cieanly and purely, who
devotes his leisure to the acquisition of
knowledge, who gains friends by d: serving
them, and who saves his spare money.

A VERY Sad Story.

John B. Cough tells the following:
ga minister of the gospel told me OF
one Of the most thrilling incidents I
lave heard in my life. A member OF
his congregation came home for the
first time in his life intoxicated, and
his boy met him on the doorstep,
clapping his hands and exclaiming,
papa has come home!' He seized
She Soy by the shoulder, swung him
around, staggered, and fell in the hall.
That minister said to me: 4 spent
the night in that house. I went out,
barred my brow that the night air
might fall upon it and cool it. There
was the child dead! there was his
wife in strong convulsions, and he
asleep. "A man about thirty years OF
sse asleep with dead child in the
house, having a blue mark upon the
temple where the corner of the
marble steps had come in contact
with the head as he swung him
around, and wife upon the brink Of
the gravel Mr.. Cough said my
friend, 4 cursed the drink. BE told
me that I must remain until he awoke,
and I did, When he awoke he pass
ed his hand over his face, and ex-
claimed, What is the matter? where
am I? where is my boyy You can
not see him. Stand out of my way.
will see my boy To prevent con-
fusion took him to the child's bed,
and as I turned down the sheet and
showed him the corpse, he uttered q
wild shrek, :Ah my, childp That
minister said further to me: One
year after that he was brought from a
lunatic asylum to lie side by side
with his wife in the grave, and I at
tended his funeral The minister of
the gospel who told me that fact is to-
day drunken hostler in a stable in
Boston.
stNoW, tell me what rum will not do!
It will debase, imbrute and damn

A DISCOVERY ! Davis, of DAVIS


4 U Bros, at Arcola, Miss, is
great believer in the virtues of S. S.
S. He writes that he was afflicted
with one of the worst cases of blood
poison known to the human race,
and after going through quite long
treatment, finally resorted to S. S. S.,
and he is proud to say that he has
been entirely cured, and the disease
thoroughly eradicated from his system.
He sends thanks to the company for
their valuable discovery, and says that
it is God-send to the world. For
contagious blood poison S. S. S. is
truly a specific. Very few cases have
ever resisted its curative properties,
and no one suffering from this disease
or other blood poison should neglect
to give it fair trial. We will mail a
special treatment on contagious blood
poison to all who apply for it free.
