THE nennle of the city of Datrf

THE people Of the city of Detroit
are to be commiserated. Subjects
for brain treatment in their idiot
asylum have become a majority on
their Board of Education. Uncon-
scious of the grotesqueness Of the
proposal, they have adopted a resolu-
tion declaring that no one shall be
permitted to teach in the city schools
except persons educated" in them.
at what time education may be said
to be accomplished is question over
which wide difference may prevail.
But that education in its true sense
has about begun at the age when
girls and boys graduate from high
school benches is too well established
for debate. On the jejune and rudi.
mentary element thus to be obtained,
the wise men of Detroit propose to
make the city schools hereafter ex-
clusively dependent. A Lycurgus
once tried to make Sparta great by
shutting off all intercourse with the
outside world and substituting iron
currency for gold and silver, with a
standard of value that required a
yoke of oxen to remove small sum,
so large was its bulk. Sparta learned
in the ruin Of her arts and industries
the practical meaning of exclusive
craftsmanship. That an American
city should surpass in 1893 the stu
pidity of crank in the ninth CEN
tury before the Christian era was not
to be expected. The Detroit School
Board is entitled to the fools palm.

Impromptu Speeches.

James Russell Lowell is recorded as
Iaying that he always liked to pre-
pare his impromptu speeches. At a
dinner given to Mr. Longfellow dur
ing visit to London, it was agreed
that no set speeches should be made.
After the fruit and coffee had been
discussed, Admiral Farragut arose,
and protes I'd that they could not
dream Of parting without hearing
from Mr.. Gladstone
Mr.. Gladstone began by assuring
the company that he was of the mind
of Lord Palmerston, who said, Bet
ter dinner of herbs where no speak
Ing is, than whitebait and oratory
herewith.
His remarks" developed into an
eloquent grafton. He had read the
works of the American poet, and
quoted passages from several Of his
poems, and concluded by paying a
splendid tribute to Mr.. Longfellow's
attachments.
The subject of this superb panegyr-
ic was deeply touched, and replied
without rising In few happ ly chosen
phrases, prefaced with the remark
that in his case the pen was mightier
than the tongue, an that he could
Rot make an extempore speech.

A Question to the Democrats of Wis.

some of the negroes for not supporting
them. 1t is fact that those negroes
who did not support them, supported
you'll You claim that you are just and fair,
if you are Democrats grant that. You
also claim that you have no hatred or
even dislike for our people; we'll, grant
that also. You claimed before election
that your party will do as much for our
people as the Republicans. Now, please
let us see something you'll do. There
are colored men here, who went against
that valiant and honored J. G.
Spooner. They claim Mr.. Peck will
help them. There are colored men, who
were all day (on election day. spending
their money and everybody's else they
could get their hands on to support the
entire Democratic ticket. These are
facts. Now don't try and craw-fish out
on the plea that you do not know
this" These colored men, even though
they are Democrats, do not ask you for
social equality. They do not want to
enter your homes, and laugh and con-
verse with your family. They want
and need support for their families,
and do not want it from charitable
standpoint, either. They want nice.
clean, respectable positions, such as they
are capable of holding. These posi-.
tions are in the Custom-house, Post
Office department, on the jury bench
your private places of business, and
many other places. Will you please be
kind enough to give such positions tC

your trouble Mr.. Keickhefer, of course
since he is a Republican, will see thai

have your answer by way of requesting
us to bring to you some of these negro

RESTAURANTS IN PARIS.
Decline of the Cafe Old Style and Rise
OF the Brasserie.


Our contemporary, the Gaulois,
says the Paris Galignani Messenger,
referring to the approaching sale OF
the Well-known Cafe Tortoni, la
ments the decline in popularity and
the rapid disappearance of the modest
old white and gold cafes, simply fur
nished, and so well adapted for men
tai repose and quiet conversation,
which at one time were dotted all
over Paris. 1t looks with disfavor, If
not dislike, upon the pretentious es-
tablishments which are fast super
seding them-the brasseries, with
their painted windows and sumptuous
appointments. 1t is true, perhaps,
that the old-fashioned cafe Is fated
to disappear in Paris, and that it
will be found no longer, except in
charming old world provincial towns.
The surest sign is that we no longer
drink coffee in cafes. We take our
demi-lasse either at home or in the
restaurant We know that we never
find this demi-lasse satisfying; that
the places are few where they still
love and take pride In this delicious
beverage, black and fragrant, strong
and exciting, which clears the brain,
purif1es the thought, stimulates
apathy, and dispels the blues. No,
the day is past, or almost past, OF
| this cup of coffee taken away from
home, which was so much in honor
100 years ago, but which had to yield
before the all-conquering book. 1t
was the helpmeet Of wine, and the
sensuality of the eighteenth century
discovered in this fiery coffee the
spark which kindled the flame of its
| wit. Will the restless nineteenth
century decisively elect to pursue its
meditations around tables groaning
with salvers laden with the foaming
and frothy juice Of the hop? WI
would fain think otherwise. And yet
the rows of brasseries keep on length-
ening along the causeways. Crowds
flock to them, winter and summer,
inside and outside; the smoke of in
Vulnerable pipes mounts upward, un-
| limited beer flows, and an imitation
of Germany springs up in our midst,
but without Germany's fine poetic
dreams and lofty metaphysical specu-
lations. 1t is when we return from

How a Band of Sioux Indians Were Sur
prised.

How a Band of Sioux Indians Were Sur
prised.
Il have had a good many scrim
images with Indians Of various tribes,
but the widest and woolliest Of the
whole copper-colored breed are the
Sioux" said MAJOR Dan Allen, one OF
the original "pathfinders" of the
trackless West.
Most Indians are born sneaks and
towards, who do their fighting from
cover; but the Sioux fears neither
God man, nor the devil, and would
fight Napoleon's Old Guard in an
open field. A bluff won't work on
them worth a cent, and when they
tackle you you can Just make up
your mind to do some killing or lose
your scalp. l was out in the south
western part of what is how South
Dakota few years ago, with hunt
ing party, when we encountered a lot
If bucks on the war-path. There
were twenty of them, while my party
)nly numbered half a dozen. But
the redskins had the old-fasl ,oned
muzzle-loaders, while we were armed
with Winchesters-
"There wasn't a rock or tree fol
miles, and we had to just stand up tC
the rack and take our fodder. One
of the party was a mining engineer
who had been prospecting for pay
rock and had with him severa
pounds of dynamite and an elec

guarded the exit. He concealed the

wire, and we retreated 400 yards
and stopped. The redskins didn't
waste any time maneuyering; they
came and saw and expected to con-
quer in short order. On they came,
straight as the crow flies, and we lay
down in the grass with rifles cooked.
| tell you, it was an interesting mo.
ment for us.
"If the battery failed to do its
duty we were gone to man. But
it didn't. The 'blue-belly' had
dropped his hat near the Vesuvius,
so that he could tell just when to
touch the button. When the fore
most horse reached the hat be turned
on the current. There was an ex-
plosion that made the very ground

noble red men, saddles and rifles,
blankets and buckskin. fNow's our
time, boys, | called, and we ran for

to the terrified savages as fast as we
could pull trigger. The remnant

Mr.. W. t. STEAD has written an
article on young Women and Jour-

would never employ man if he could
find woman who could do the work
as well. Very properly, however, he

and says the work to be done Is the
first and only thing to be thought or,
and not the person who does it. Ii

The Laughing Plant.

A curious plant grows in Arabia,
called the laughing plant. 1t is Of
moderate size, with bright yellow
flowers and soft, velyety seed pods,
each of which contains two or three
seeds, resembling black beans. The
natives frequently dry the seeds and
reduce them to powder 1t is said
that dose of this powder produces
a similar effect to that of laughing
gas. 1t causes the most sober person
to dance, shout and laugh in an ex-
tremely bOisterous manner, and to
run about doing the most ridicu-
lous things for an interval of half an
hour or more. "As the effects Of
the powder wear off," says the
Worlds Progress, exhaustion sets
In, and the person falls into a deep
sleep. When he awakes several
hours later, he has not the slightest
recollection Of anything he did while
under the influence of the drug"
