The Moral in Doubt,

Rather an odd accident happened to Q
young woman on Park row ON Friday
She was handsomely dressed, wearing
for wrap one of the new double decked,
balloon rugged capes of velvet, trimmed
with fur and lined with colored silk.
She was about crossing the street when
two men seized her and began pulling
and patting the precious cape with their
hands.
The woman was badly scared, turned
as white as sheet, and simply stood
helpless, gazing at the antics of the men
who were dancing about her, and who
she thought were highwaymen trying to
make off with her new winter wrap,
Presently the men tipped their hats and
explained that the garment they had been
treating seemingly so roughly had been
ablaze. Sure enough. there was a big.
ugly, black hole eaten out Of the velvet
of one of the front folds. Probably the
wearer in passing some smoker had
caught spark from cigar or pipe. She
thanked the gallants who had come to her
rescue and then went on her way, hiding
as best she could the damaged part of the
garment. It is question whether the
moral of this STORY is that men should
not smoke in tne street or women should
not wear the new tangled cape.-New

vbv tho Great Eastern Failed.

Referring to the failure of the Great
Eastern, which at the time was attrib-
uted to her size, in comparison with the
success which now attends boats Of
nearly the same dimensions, how plain
now to naval architects, vessel owners
and in fact everybody possessing even a
limited knowledge Of the requirements
as to power in large steam vessels is the
main cause of failure in the Great East
ern. Her power was entirely out Of
proportion to her great length and other
dimensions. The dimensions of Atlantic
liners are now approaching to nearly
the size OF the Great Eastern. The
length of the Great Eastern was $50 feet
and her horsepower 1850. The new
Cunard liner Campania is geo feet long,
but her horsepower will be 10000, and

The Hawaiian Argument.

The Hawaiian argument may be
profitably suspended until we shall
have heard from Mr.. Blount.
Though he has sailed on the reve-
nue. cutter Rush, this does not in
dictate hurry. He will stay on the
islands long enough to hear all
sides and satisfy himself of the
true situation. Mr.. Blount expects
to return to the United States in
three months. a. least two weeks
OF that time will be spent upon the
ocean in going and returning. The
waiting attitude of the United
States will no doubt stimulate the
friends and enemies of the annex
alton movement to put their best
foot forward. The flood of Hawai-
ian correspondence now illuminat-
ing the columns of some of our
esteemed contemporaries gives an
mixing of what may be expected.

well as instruction out of his en-
bassy. If fun will make a man

PAYING A DEBT or KINDNESS.


An Indian Brave Who Never Forgot the
Mercy Shown His Band.
About the middle of this century there
was a terrible uprising among the Yucca
tan Indians. For time they were able
TO wreak vengeance on their white con-
Guerers, and their ferocity and cruelty
were horrible. Even so dark a page of
histor, &c this, however, Is not without
its story OF kindness and mercy between
enemies. The town Of Peto was so sit
uated in the Indian territory that it was
taken by the Indians and recaptured by
the whites many times. Once, when 1t
was in the hands of its rightful owners,
number of Indian prisoners were held.
Less cruel than the savages, the whites
killed only in battle; they allowed their
prisoners to live. But provisions became
more and more scarce, and the Indians
were left to die of hunger. One day Don
Marcos Duarte, wealthy inhabitant Of
the town. was passing the house where
the Indians We're and stopped, shocked
at the sight of a miserable. emaciated
creature.
What are you doing?' he asked.
ii am eating my shoes. as you see,
was the reply. 81 am starving to death.
For twelve days we have had almost no
food. Most of my companions are dead
and the days of the rest are numbered"
Don Marcos looked at the miserable
survivors and said, "You and they shall
live," and he sent them food every day
and finally procured their freedom
Whatever were the rights of the ques-
ton between Indians and whites in this
case, human pity spoke first in his heart
Some time later Peto was captured by
the Indians. and the inhabitants were
! massacred. Don Marcos, with his wife
and children. awaited death on their
knees in prayer. They heard a party of
savages approaching the house. and felt
that the end had come.
The head of the band, however, sta
toned sentinels around the house and
gave this order, Not hair of the head
of this man or his family is to be touched
on pain of death
The family of Duarte was the only one
that was spared The Indian who had
inspired the pity of Don Marcos was
paying his debt.
twenty years afterward IN success
full uprising the Indians sacked Il num-
Der of villages and country houses. They
retreated loaded with spoil and drag
ging with them many household serv-
ants, of whom they intended to make
slaves. The chief Of the expedition asked
one Of them what was the name Of his
master
Don Marcos Duarte." he replied.
The chief Immediately called halt
How many men belong to Don Mar
cos?" he asked
''Twenty-four. replied the man to
whom he had spoken
Name them" said the chief
Having collected the twenty four men,
he returned to them the spoil which had
come from the Duarte house and said
Go home. friends: you are free" It
was the Indian once more raging his
debt. - Youths Companion
