The "Iieyationo of Nan.

The attempt to elevate women, as it Is
facetiously called, is no longer an expert
ment; but how is it about the attempt to
elevate men by this roundabout process?
Are the men of the day improving? Are
the politicians, for instance, any better;
do they read more; do they try to fit them
selves by study for legislative and execu-
tive positions: are they any better Informed
on economic questions: are they more SEN
sitive to IL reputation for honorable deal
ing: are they more jealous for the good
name OF the country in such matter, say,
as the international copyright? And the
young men in Offices, in shops, in business,
are they being raised intellectually, or do
they share proportionally in the great move
ment for the elevation of the other sex?
Every one can answer this question for
himself by little observation of the ways
in which young men spend their leisure
time. And as to the outward refinements
of life, manners and dress? Even in the
industrial walks of life, does the young
man dress with the neatness and becoming
ness that characterize the industrial young
lady of the period? Are these trihes? 1t is
by the observation of the ordinary in the
conduct Of men that the philosopher esti
mates the drift of the age. In this, which
has been triumphantly called the woman's
age, one is forced occasionally to note what
is becoming Of the other half of the world.

Choice in Pictures.

A woman who lives in the heart of the city said to me once as I was ad- miring a small sea view which hung near her dressing table: "Isn't that a rest9 You see gather here only quiet landscapes Let the people in the country have the figure pieces, the grand situations and the activities on canvas. need the breath of quiet. <" She had followed her thought; all about her walls were hung suggestive sketches; bits of green fields, country lanes, far away hills, flying birds and evening lights across stretches of snow
 The choice of pictures therefore re- solves itself into a question of circum- stance and relation. Edmund Rus sell, in his art lectures given with much success in London, and also with favor in New York, speaking of the decora- tion of our rooms, says: '"The color of our wall we dwell in; it surrounds us, as sunlight and atmosphere; it em- braces us and is as subtle in it's effect as the spiritual. Pictures we study and feel; they are teachers; tell a story; we go to them to be interested, and are led away to other thoughts and new associations. "-Housewife

THE FIGHTING IS OVER.
Hostile Indians Marching to
 Pine Ridge Agency
TO SURRENDER TO UNCLE SAM

No Attempt Will Be Made to Dtsarin
 Them at Present, It h Said, and They
 Win Probably Be Captured and Cared
 for Without Bloodshed.
 PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Jan. 2.-Up to an early hour in the morning the hos. tiles had not moved from their camp. It is probable, however, that large party of Ogallagas are now on their way to the agency. As soon as the camp breaks up the crescent shaped wall of soldiers will move up another peg, and as the army bulletin issued at noon Rrimly reads: "Act as circumstances may dictate. Should the Indians continue in this direction and show purpose to surrender, the troops will not attack them, but if any of the renegades attempt to get away and suc- ceed in piercing the blue wall, they will be shot without ceremony or pursued until caught alive or killed"
 Gen. Miles says every measure will be taken by the military to force the Indians into submission and avert serious trouble to the settlements. A detachment of the Seventh cavalry, under command of Leiut. Nicholson, is guarding the road to Rush vile. The heaviest guard yet thrown out about the agency is now on duty. Scouts report that criers are out in the hostile village calling to the people not to sur render their arms.

Reason for Protesting.

There is a story told of young phy- sician of this city who was connected at one time with the Emergency hos pital, which has caused many a smile at his expense. He had not long been stationed at the hospital when woman was brought in suffering from severe scalp wound. The blood was yelling out in great jets and was fast dyeins her golden curls a rusty red, and the doctor was engaged in hastily clipping her hair, when his patient exclaimed, "Oh, doctor, don't!' Thinking he might have hurt her, he said, "Oh, never mind; that's all right" ''No, it's not" responded the lady with some warmth, flor you are cutting my wig. ? And so he was Washington Post.

The New Milford Gazette and Cor necticut Western News are wsging war upon the Housatonic railroad Company for running excursions to Bridgeport, much to the detriment, 1t Is claimed, Of village merchants all along the road Their articles are full of truth and will no doubt have . wholesome effect upon tho railroad company. We firmly be- Eeve, however, in Home Missionary work, and if Brother Beckley will turu his guns for Q time upon an organiza- ton known as the Methodist Episcopal Church Society, who frequently run excursions from Canaan and Norfolk 10 Hartford for the express purpose of shopping we think it might also have a wholesome effect. While we concur with all that Editor Beckley has to say matter of business on the part of the railroad and will doubtless be continued as long as the people patronize them. On the other hand we find religious soclety going out of it's field and dealing in Railroad tickets which IS equally and perhaps more damaging to Canaan and Norfolk merchants, than the Bridgeport excursions and we shonld be pleased to see Brother Beckley laboring to convert his neighbors down the street, and If found successful missionary at home doubtless . larger field will soon be open to him.-Norfolk Tower.
 The foregoing article is worthy Of consideration because its intent and purpose are good, nevertheless it unin- tentionally does an injustice to said Methodist Episcopal Church Society and also to Editor Beckley inasmuch as it fails to tell the whole story. True, said church is guilty of running excursions. Other churches and other organizations in this town are also guilty, as we'll as some churches. socie-
 ties, and individuals in neighboring towns. We dare say The Tower does not realize how many excursions have been run during the last six years. THE NEWS does not print the posters for all the excursions by any means. Some of them are printed in Hartford, some in Bridgeport, some in Great Burlington. some in Lee, some in Pitts6eld, some in Winsted; i6 fact at all points on both the Housatonic road and the c. N. E. & W. road. The number of excursions that have been run to Hartford, to Poughkeepsie, to Bridgeport and to New York within the past six or seven years would astonish everyone could the figures be held up to their gaze. Our curiosity prompted us to see how many different excursions had obtained th>ir posters at THE NEWS job printing oaice since July 1884 Our books show fh,t aipcs the above mentioned date we heys printed the posten for twenty ~n diGesst excursions e follows: lrn1hpaiss Episeopal sooisty of Canaan.

Rich Plunder Recovered.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-There is jewelry, silverware and holiday gifts enough at police headquarters to start a store of re- spectable size. Nearly all of it is new and has never been used. It is plunder and Inspector Byrnes has long been looking for it and the desperate sneak thief who gathered it together. Now he is trying to find the owners. The stuff is roughly es- timated to be worth 5000. It is seldom that such good haul is made from New York thieves nowadays, even by central office detectives. The plunder was found in the possession of Thomas Richards, an old offender.
