BLONDE INDIANS IN MEXICO.

Fair-EGired MayAs Who Are Supposed
to Have Had Swedish Ancestors.
"Do you know that there are in Mex
leo several thousand Indians who have
fair skins, blue eyes and fair hair?"
asked Peyton Brown of st. Louis
Globe-Democrat reporter. "Well, it's
fact. The Mayas, inhabiting the Ser ra
Madre Mountains, in the lower part of
Sonora, are supposed TO be the descend
ants of the crew and passengers of
Swedish vessel wrecked on the Next
lean coast long centuries before the
birth of Columbus.
"They are the most desperate fighters
on the North American continent.
Like their neighbors, the Yaquis, they
are mostly Catholics. Although quite
primitive, almost savage in their mode
of life, the standing of morality is high.
They live principally by the chase, but
cultivate some corn and garden truck in
the valleys. The men are large, we'll
formed and some Of the women re-
markably handsome blends. They all
retain traces of their Swedish ancestry,
and the Iinguists say that their language
evidences q north European ancestry"

Bird gets Hot RetorC.

Mrs. L., New York society leader,

plicants in her dining-room, the ceiling
of which is beautifully painted in blue

One applicant, a great, strapping
daughter Of the Emerald Isle, seemed
TO suit best of all her respondents, so
she said to her:
"Well, cook, if your references please

answer tomorrow afternoon"
Mrs. l.. was here interrupted by the
cook, who planted her two red hands
on her hips, and peering forward
looked the lady straight in the face as
she replied:

GOOO.NI6HT.

We hear it from a mothers knee, in echo down
the stair,
Ofttimes in notes of childlike glee, ofttimes at
close of prayer.
We hear it at the garden gate, half whispered,
sweet and low,
While lovers linger until late, and loath cen
then to go.
We hear it said in giIded halls, where mirth
and gladnesS reign,
Where beauty gowS and music falls in capti-
waiting strain.
We hear it at the bedside, where dread, pain
and grief are known,
And tender mlnistrations share with the strick-

We hear it when the sun of life withdraws from
mortal sight;
What comfort, then. to hear and say, GOOD =

well the fate which awaits them. They
dread the ostracism by both white and
reputable native society which such
q marriage would inevitably entail
upon them. They are no strangers
TO the very serious shortcom-
ings as regards morality, manner
and principle OF every member Of the
Asiastic race. All the white wives OF
the latter that l have ever known OF
have been women altogether ignorant
OF the Orient. and whose knowledge OF
the latter was derived entirely from
! poetry, and from the ilorld and pictur-
esque lies-true Oriental embroideries--
OF their dusky suitors. These latter are
all, according TO their own stories,
noblemen or princes Of their own coun-
try possessed Of rank, wealth and estates
as imaginary as the traditional castles
! 10 Spain.
Among the principal unions between
Orientals aud whitrs that have come
under my notice is that OF the Baroness
Won Rahden. lady well known In
court circles at Berlin, and related TO
many OF the grandest families OF Ger
many, who married the japanese Count
| Aoki, during the latter's residence on
the backs OF the Spree as minister
penipotentiary OF the mikado. The
baroness was neither young, rich or
| popular, and had but little prospect OF
securing q husband among the men OF
| her own race and rank. Under tho
circumstances, IL is possible that she
may have been attracted by the liberal
salary aud allowance Of Aoki, as well as
| by the prestige and privileges which
he enjoyed at Berlin as the chief OF
| foreign mission. 1t is manifest that
some considerations such as these
must have constituted the motive
which induced her 10 marry him. II

was not. however, until her husband
was recalled to Japan that she realized
the folly OF which she had been gully
in marrying him. On reaching the Tar
East, she discovered 10 her cost that
the japanese ambassadress at Der
lin and Mrs. Aoki az Toxic were
two very different persons. The major.
lty OF the white women in Japan turned
their backs upon her in undisgulsed
scorn, while those who did condescend
to take any notice Of her were careful
TO make her feel that they were confer
ing great favor in tolerating her at
all. This, OF course, did not tend TO In
crease her prestige In the eyes either
OF her husband or OF his country PEG

great misery. Moreover, although the

The race problem would be at an end
II Justice were not trampled under foot.
The entire question resolves itself into
one Of rights aud dnties-nothing more,
nothing less.
The black citizen is OF easy disposi-
ton and is willing to submit TO the pow
ers that be. He asks that such laws
be enacted as shall secure TO every citi-
zen Of the country, regardless Of race,
color or creeds the full enjoyment Of
every civil and political right accorded
TO the most favored class-his white
fellow citizeus-and that all statute
laws discriminating against him and his
people be repealed irstInter.
The emancipation act brought not
only upon the Republican party, but
upon ali parties, upon the whole coun-
try, new duties and new responsibilities,
and established new relations between
man and man. 1t Is, therefore, obliga-
tory upon all TO see to 1t that no unjust
distinctions be made in favor OF one
class Of people at the expense Of an

self-protectIon and self-support, to en-
roll them as speedily as possible In the
army and navy OF the United States.
Congressman should begin at once TO NIL
all the vacancies in West Point and An
napolis with the brightest colored BOYS
TO be found In the several States. Not
to make them food for powder, but an
army of protection, in our free zone"
and Western reserves, TO guard our
commerce at sea and our cities against
mobs on land. Now that England and
America settle their disputes by arol-
tration, we may hope that aggressive
wars will be no more.
This training Of negro boys would In
time make the officers as well as the
rank and file all OF one race. With his
power of imitation, his docile, teachaole
spirit his love Of music, his susceptl-
bllity of polish, a regiment OF black men
would be far more imposing and grace
full than the Ordinary Saxon men. In
the few regiments we have, every one
has remarked, how much more strlklEg
the black man is than the white, Ia mill
itarv costume. In the naval parade
last spring, down Fifth avenue, none OF
the sailors received more applause than
the negro tars from the Brazilian
ard Argentine ships OF war. But
mere appearance is Of secondary
consideration; the mora! effect OF
q military education and the position as
defenders OF their country, would ele-
vate them at once in the minds OF the
people and give the negro himself ne"
self-respect and sef-assertion. Inc
outrages on his race at the South, the
indignities at the North, show that the
negro cannot look for justice from the
Saxon. He must be trained to organ
lied self-defense, to practical discipline
every day until they become second ma
ture. He must learn the art OF control
ling himself and disciplining others, and
there are no better schools for this
than our military academies. This, too.
would give US O new class or educated
gentlemen that would grace any social
circle in Washington, Paris, London or
New York.
With tho power such an education
and position would confer, some OF US
might apprehend the dangers OF the
race, bias and aggressive action on the
part of the negro; but his virtue aud
magnanimity were fairly tested in our
civil war, where his wonderful
generosity and sef-sacriice commanded
the admiration OF US all. Through
those dark days, the slaves were the
only defenders OF the wives, children
and property of their masters. They
proved faithful sentinels to the end,
though they knew their masters were
fighting against the freedom for Which
they yearned and prayed.
The Proclamation of Emancipation
was received by them with tears OF graf
itude, with prayers and songs OF thanks
giving while assembled in their respcc-
tive churches. No act Of violence mar
red the solemuity of that great event.
The pages of history afford no brighter
examples Of moderation and heroism,
under such trying circumstances.
