was delighted. lie wanted to come TO
America with me and woo the Indian
maiden, and when | told him hat S13
was as high as they aver sold, caught
him surreptitiously counting W. his
shiliings and trying 20 reduce the
amount 10 dollars. Little did the poor
thing know that the real squaw oftke,
agency who is In good circumstances
dresses IN a horse blanket and cavalry
psntSloons, that she strains the wild
honey OF the forest and the juice OF the
June berry through her opera cloak
and puts turpentine in her rum
Poor Clarence! Born within the sound
Of Big Ben's mellow boom and In the
shadow OF the House OF Parliament,
where ever and anon the purr OF the
Tory and the COO Of the Liberal calling
each other liars and unhung horse
thieves could come 20 him like sound
OF doves In quiet neigh 0orhoods."
Little does be know OF the course and
bsrbaric American. Little does he
know that above Yonkers the woods are
alive with J.. Fennimore Cooper In
dians, and south Of Sixty-tirst street,
Chicago, a mar without a couple OF ex-
press rifles and democrat wagon laden
with elephant guns loaded with explo-
siye bullets Is no better than q dead
man.
Poor fellow, he has never seen the
Infatuated savage hold a scalp dance Ia
Central Music Hall, and on the way
home knock down the wlfo OF the
Methodist Minister with the corpse OK
her childl
He little knows how unsafe human
life is in Philadelphia. or how the peo-
pie evsry little while fly TO the Penn
sylvania depot to escape the savage
who skulks about Germantown juno
ton and Bryn Mawr.
These things have been concealed
from the people OF England long
enough. l for one have always IA
vored a frank and open course, even II
IL hurts the country and retards lmmi-
grafton. So | told Clarence truly on my
way home how many OF US were COM
pelled 10 live-how Wa ground our "
Indian corn In a coffee mill aDeNete the
flesh Of live animals, with herbs fnutA
fruits and berries in their season; how
we wore coonskin caps TO the opera aud
drank spoopiu al our merry makings;
how some OF our greatest men led
double lives, kc2Ding up an establish
ment perhaps In Washington aud an
other among the tribes OF the red
brother, and how, even In Boston,
where the Englishman is led 10 believe
that society closely resembles that OF
the mother country, the correspondent
f. quite as apt TO be red as white.
Whether / did my country a service
or not OF course / do not know, but at
least 1 have been frank and honest
about our crude state. No EngllshmAn
can ever confront me in tho future
with the statement that / have con-
cealed anything from him. | did moi
keep back the facts regarding the bru-
tai assassination and mutllation by To-
dians OF the bodies OF those people
who we're holding a prayer meeting =
year and a half ago on Wabash ave-
nue, or the capture OF the normal
school at EnglewoOd, and the massacre
at the Old Woman's home Ia New York,
all by Indians camping In Westchest&
county and at Grand Crossing, III.
Clarence told me this morning tgat
he should remain 10 London probably
instead Of returning 10 America With
me. He had always supposed that
though the Indian was all the time
coming into Delmonico's and asking for
bread for his starving squaws and pap
pooses, after all be had q good heart
and would walk 36s miles In q night
to tell those who had been kind TO him
that a plot was on foot 10 como and
murder them, scalp them aud sell their
remains 20 Fulton market.
III they can't keep those wretched
persons out OF Trinity church." said
Clarence, while services are going on,
as you say, why the duee can't the
hushers make them leave their guns In
the hanty room?"
