comprehension of most white people. and yet any ordinarily intelligent per son might easily understand how much excitement there would be i'll the coun- try if the Rev. T Dewitt Talmage were to proclaim to all that he had seen the Messiah in person at some place. and that the long awaited one would be here in month or two. Sach an an nouncement would make as much ex' citement among the whites as has re suited among tho Indians for similar cause, and perhaps the excitement would take the form of religious dane in-. Thousands of Shakers gyrate clumsily just as often as they think necessary and no one ever thinks of charging their ungraceful antics to any thing but honest religious fervor. Mem bers of various and numerous evangell- cal churches indulge m what to the unconverted sometimes seems co be frenzied enthusiasm but winch ciyili&s- ton recognizes as not only Legitimate, but eminently natural.
 The Indian is naturally religious. With all his savagcry he is sertou, aud earn est ln all he does. and prone to relate human events to the operations Of a higher power. It may be, as General Miles surmises, that the Mormons have stirred up the present Messiah craze; but 1t remains the fact that the Sioux have been restive ever since the deal by which they transferred large portion of their lands to the United States Gov ernment. and bad influences have been at work among them melting them to discontent and schemes of revenge They have been coddled and fed and pctted by the Government, and likewise robbed Gas many of them believe) o. much of their lands, and they have au entirely false idea of their own strength and that of the whites.
 Nevertheless. a campaign in the bad laEls, against the Sioux. would be no child's play for our army. It would be the greatest Indian war of modern times. and the regular armv officers surrounding General Mile,'s headquar- ters here do not relish the thought ot such conflict They know that II will be fierce aud bloody, if II begins, and the best thing they hope for IS to make 1t short and decisive at lamentahle sacrifice of men,
 The Sioux warrior, fully armed and mounted. and able to select his own fighting ground is the most dangerous opponent to be found in the world. He is an uneSceilel fighter, fearless, cum ming. and tireless, and marvelouslv skill ful in sudden attack and timely retreat. He is bothered by no incumbrances. He carries his equippsge with him, and he leaves squaw and pappooses, with an old horse, perhaps, to look after his camp and follow him the best they can in his cratic campaigns And. let it be said, the Indian women are no mean factors in the savage method of fighting. They are thoroughly self reliant, and can pack up and set out on the march after their fleeing braves at moments notice They keep thoroughly informed oS events. and are able in many waysto assist retreat or baffla pursuit

Henry NJ. Stanley has IS dark skinned lads, whom he bou ght on the banks e! the Congo at the moderate price of three cents head. When he founded the station at Stanley Falls he found in the hands of the Arabs , 300 captives whom they had dragged into slavery. The poor wretches were suffering for food, and some of them were in starving condition. He says:
 Among them were many little boys, l selected Is of the poor httle fellows, and bought them of the Arabs for [ handkerchief apiece. The handkerchief, cost three cents each in Manchester, and 50 obtained the little negroes very cheaply. took them because l wished to save them. and as they were almost certain te die of starvation, tie Arabt were willing to sell them at almost any price.
 The little fellows, who were from 10 to l2 years of age, were with me in my steamer when l went down the river again l distributed them, two or three together among the stations. directing the agents to instruct them, show then how to work, and to endeavor as they grew up to make civilized young fellows of them. They all came from the Biyerre River, and as I did not know their language l could not communicate with them Soon after left foi Europe.
 Last summer, when Sir Francis d, Winton returned from the Congo, ht brought one of these boys with him, The lad is bright fellow, about 1f years old. and has been with me since he came to England. As he had learned the Swahili language l could readily converse with him, and he also speaks z good deal of English now.
 By and by this boy will return to tn, Congo, and will probably be sent baci among his own people: and so with tn, other seventeen little fellows, they vii he trained up as the friends and mis sionaries of the new order of things oi the Congo.

For examne. says the Sun Francisco Chronicle if Chinese lantern were sub mittcd to free competition as ap indus. trial product neither the free-trade En. glishmsn nor the protected American would attempt it's manufacture, because labor saving machinery could not be used, The Chinese lantern belongs to a department of industry in which ma chinery counts for little.

Anyhow, 1t is a hard matter for white man or white woman 10 set about making A Chinese lantern. To begin with the framework of the lantern has to be constructed of fine bamboo splints. split by the hand with knife, and woven on frame of the proper size. This work is done by women and children as far AS possible. and an expert hand can finish six or eight in day. When brought to the workshsp the workman cuts of the flag ends. shapes 1t. and rearranges all the splints. so that the interstices will be of equal size. He then stifTeas them with coat of glue. and lays the skeletons away 10 dry. Then sheets of thin and coarse bamboo paper are glued on the frame. and two or three extra coats of pecu- liar glue of great transparency are laid on. The lantern is then mounted with s socket for the candle and a wire for the handle. Finally the painter adorns It with flowers and more or less pictures que designs-all. of course. done by hand after the lantern is finished. The whole thing is sold st price ranging from 10 cents to Si even the latter being competitive price at which r2ost Amer jeans would decline to produce any hand painted article without regard 10 previ- ous effort
