Gallantry of the Sioux,

A prrespondent, who has Just re-
turned from Pine Ridge Agency, tells a
story of the visiting Sioux Indians, who
are now in Washington. He says:
Reading of the reception the Indians
received in church last Sunday, and the
fact that they attended the theater
Monday evening, recalls funny incident
that happened when they were in Chi
cago few days ago en- route to WASH
ington. The manager who has charge
of the visiting Indians thought he would
amuse them by taking them to the
theater in the evening. He never for a
moment thought that tragedy would
rouse the warlike nature, of which the
Sioux is so abundantly endowed WE'LL
he got them into several boxes all right,
and everything went we'll until the third
act The play was heavy tragedy and
in this act the heroine was to be killed.
The minute the villain attempted to
strike the woman with knife, three of
the Sioux rose from their seats and
actually prepared to leap over the boxes
on to the stage for the purpose of rescu-
ing the heroine. The theater was soon
in an uproar, and it was only by re-
moving the three refractory Indians
from the theater that the actors could
proceed. That also explains why they
Were taken to see light opera in
Washington.

An Enthusiastic Nurse.

A Brooklyn mother had lately to call
in the services of a trained nurse for
her sick child. When the nurse, a
bright young woman, arrived, the
mother had talk with her before she
went to the sick room. II suppose you
know" she said, that this is fever
case" "Oh. yes. indeed" she replied
brightly, "and was so glad to come. I
just dote on fevers To the anxious
parent this seemed almost flippant, but
the nurse continued: "They are so in
teresting, you know, and ones care
tells"-a remark which somewhat con
doned the first. "Now, I am just in
from such stupid case, a man with
liver complaint-no established prece-
dents, nothing to watch progress by,
but just before I took him had the
most beautiful run of fever, 10 weeks,
a young lady, two nurses of us, and we
brought her through without a false
STEP" This was again reassuring to
the solicitous mother, and when little
later the nurses services began this very
exhileration and energy, tempered as
they were in the sick room by soft ways
and trained skill, became mountain of
relief.

The Beautiful Blue Danube.

Among the most important rivers in
Europe is the Danube; in fact, it is the
second river. 1t has a length of 1,70O
miles; it and its tributaries drain val
ley having an area of over 300 900 square
miles. Many nations live along its banks
and those of the rivers which flow into
it, and nearly 80 dialects are spoken
from it's source to its mouth. 1t rises in
the Black Forest to the north of Switzer-
land, and almost in sight of the French
frontier. Through Bavaria and Austria
is its course, through Hungary, past
Servia and Bulgaria, Roumania, and
Roumelia. while tributaries flow in from
Bosnia and Macedonia on the south and
Poland on the north, so that practically
the valley of the Danube comprises the
most important portion of eastern Eu-
rope 1t runs through the battle ground
of civilization and savagery. Here the
Romans contended with the Scythians
and the Huns; here the Greek empire
strove to maintain its supremacy over
the hordes of savage tribes which came
down from the steppes of Russia; here,
after the empire of the East faded away,
Charlemagne contended with savage
tribes of semi-Asiatics; here all Europe
fought the Turks for generation after
generation, until, by a great battle
fought under the walls of Vienna, the
food of the Mohammedan invasion was
rolled back toward Asia.

The Nickel With a String to 1t.

If you drop nickel with string at
tached, keeping the end of the string in
your hand, have you really dropped the
coin? An Iowa judge has decided in
the affirmative. An ingenious youth
in that State tied thread to nickel,
dropped the nicke. in slot machine,
got what he wanted, then, Withdrawing
the nickel by the thread, repeated the
operation until he had made clean
sweep of the receptacle's contents He
was arrested on a charge of theft, but
the judge who tried him held that he
had committed neither burglary, lar
ceny, nor robbery, nor even obtained
property under false pretenses. He had
merely done what the inscription on the
machine told him to do-dropped a
nickel in the slot-and had kept on do
ing it. Nothing was said about leaving
the coin where it was dropped. This
decision will probably abate nuisance.

Maxims of Talleyrand.

Prudence in woman should be an in
stinct, not virtue.
A rich man despises those who flatter
him too much, and hates those who do
not flatter him at all.
Lie, to young man, is like new ac-
quaintance, of whom he grows dis susted
as he advances in years.
If you wish to appear agreeable i'll
society you must consent to be taught
many things which you know already.
Both erudition and agriculture ought
to be encouraged by government; wit and
manufactures will come of themselves.
The reputation of a man is like his
shadow-gigantic when it precedes him,
and pigmy in its proportions when it
follows.
There are two things to which we
never grow accustomed-the ravages of
time and the injustice of our fellow
men.
There are many vices which do not
deprive u4 of friends; there are many
virtues which prevent our having any.
The errors of great men and the good
deeds of reprobates should not be reck-
oned in our estimates of their respective
characters.
To succeed in the world it is much
more neccs' 'ary to possess the penetra-
ton to discover who is fool than to dis
cover who is clever man.
1t is sometimes quite enough for a
man to feign ignorance of that which he
knows, to gain the reputation of know
ing that of which he is ignorant

A Pickaninny's Sirup jug.

Carrying wafer in sieve has always
been proverbial piece of difficulty, and
conveying molasses in paper bag seems
about as impossible. But it isn't. When
the dusky messenger demands "fi' cents
wurf of 'lasses," the groceryman takes
an ordinary "two pound" paper bag,
blows it full of air to see it is tight, and
holds it under the spigot of the barrel
until the novel pail is half full of the
dark treacle. The small African takes
it by the top and marches home as in
differently as though carrying grits.
The bag seldom collapses and answers
every purpose, and an extra advantage
for the bag is that the children can chew
the paper when its mission is done. -

An Excellent Idea.

A firm of English chemists place
upon all poisons sold by them directions
as to the antidote which should be ap-
piled in cases where the poisons are
taken accidentally or Intentionally by
human beings. An instance is given
where this precaution was the means of
saving life. A woman poisoned herself
and then informed her husband that
"she had done it," A medical man was
at once sent for, but in all probability
the woman would have been dead be.

husband Glanced to read on the label
which accompanied the poison the in

water, milk. and magnesia or carbonate
of soda and water until medical aid

Some Curious Words.

"varlet" is the same word as valet"
and each is an offshoot of the feudal
"vassal." "Rotton Row." the famous
London street, recalls "la route du roi, "
(the kings passagewayl "Dandelion
is "dent de lion" the lions tooth), and
"vinegar" was once "vin aigre" (sour
wine( Madame" is "my lady" and
"sir" has been extracted from the Latin
"senior," through the French. "Bis-
cult" keeps alive the Latin "bis coctus"
(twice cooked), and verdict is simply
"verum dictum" (true saying). An
"earl" was an "elder" in the primitive
society, while "pope" is the same as
~papa." and "kaiser" is Caesar. I"
"Huzzy" was once a respectable "house-
wife;" "knave" was simply "boy"-
the German "knabe" Of to-day; and a
"caitiff" was in the first place merely a
captive. "Jimminy" is a reminis-
cence of the classical adjuration, 20
Gemini," used by the Romans when
they called upon the twins, Castor and
Pollux, to help them.

They Should Be Banishsd.

There is certain class of people who
take great satisfaction in saying un-
pleasant things. They call this pc.
culiarity speaking their minds, or
"plain speaking" Sometimes they
dignity it by the name of telling the
truth" AS if truths must be unpleas-
ant in order to be true! Are there no
lovely, charming, gracious truths in the
world? And if there are, why can not
people diligently tell these, making
others happier for the telling. rather
than hasten to proclaim all the dis.
agreeable ones they can discover? The
sum of human misery is always SO
much greater than the sum of human
happiness, that it would appear the
plainest duty to add to the latter all we
can, and do what lies in our power to
diminish the former. Harper's Bazaar.

4 Novel Labor Saving Machine,

There was a car in the yard of the
New York Central at 42d street, New
York, a few days since, which was a
novel specimen of a labor saving ma
chine. Inside the car is some clock like
mechanism, which, as the Car goes over
the track, records every defect in the
rails. If the rails have spread the
thirty y-second part of an inch beyond the
standard width, or there is loose joint,
OF defective connection, the machine
notes it all down, as well as the distance
from one place to another. Formerly
this work was done by an army of men
called track walkers. Now a single ma
chine does it with unfailing accuracy
1t is proposed to develop the invention
SO as to combine the detective mechan-
is u of the Car with an ordinary coach,
SO that mechanical examinations of the
tracks can be made by the regular trains.

A Soldiers Soliloquy on Crossing the
Rocky Mountains.
While visiting the home of friend in
Washington, short time before his
death, the late General Fremont wrote
the following poem in an album belong
ing to his host. through whose courtesy
the Detroit Free Press published it. 1t
has never before appeared in print
Written on recrossing the Rocky Mountains
In winter after many years.
Long years ago wandered here
In the midsummer of the year,
Lifes summer, too.
score of horsemen here we rode,
The mountain world Its glory showed,
All fair to view.
These scenes in glowing colors drest,
Mirrored the life within my breast,
Its world of hope.
The whispering woods and fragrant breeze
That stirred the grass in verdant seas,
On billowy slope.
And gistening crag in sunlit sky
Mid snowy clouds piled mountain high
Were joys to me.
My path was DER the prairies wide,
Or here on grander mountain side,
To choose all free.
The rose that waved in morning air
And spread its dewy fragrance there
In careless bloom,
Gave to my heart Its ruddiest hue,
Ger my glad life its color threw,
And sweet perfume.
Now changed the scene and changed the eyes,
That here once looked on glowing skies
Where summer smiled.
These riven trees and wind-swept plain
Attest the winters dread domain,
Its fury wild.
All checked the rivers pleasant flow,
Vanished the bloom,
These dreary wastes of frozen plain
Reflect my bosom's life again,
Now lonesome gloom.
The buoyant hopes and busy life
Have ended all in hateful strife
And baffled aim;
The worlds rude contact killed the rose,
No more its lovely radiance shows
False roads to fame.
Backward. amid the twilight glow,
Some lingering spots yet brightly show
On hard roads won
Where still some grand peaks mark the way,
Touched by the light of parting day,
And memorys sun.
But here thick clouds the mountain hide,
The dim horizon bleak and wide
No pathway shows;
And rising gusts and darkening sky
Tell of the night that cometh nigh
The brief days close.
