An Interesting Indian Legend.

A curious Indian legend was told
to some people way out in Omaha by
q full blocded Sioux, who lives at
Pine Ridge agency.
He said the belief was that every
time a new moon appeared it was a
signal for all the mice in the country
to gather themselves together in one
spot. When they assembled they
then separated into four great ar
mics One army went to the north,
another to the south, a third to the
east and q fourth to the west. These
armies Of mice Travelled until they
reached the point where, from the
place of starting, the heavens seemed
to touch the earth. Then they
climbed up the sky until they camo
to the moon, which by this time was
what we call FILL
All of the four armies then COM
menced nibbling at Luna, and when
they had eaten her all up the mice
would sca,nper back down the
heavens to the earth and wait for her
to show herself again, when the
journey and the nibbling would be
repeated by the mice; and this is
what the Indians Of early days be-
lieved was the cause of the moon
growing old and finally disappear

HIo-ea;Itl Of Circus Lee.

As regards the morality Of circus
Life, the occupation Of the perform
ers forbids that they should indulge
in dissipation Of any kind, Even if
inclined in the direction Of vice they
have no time to indulge in it. On
the road they rise at or o'clock,
leave the sleeping car and breakfast
at a hotel and have a morning re-
hcarsal. Then come dinner, the
afternoon performance and supper,
then the evening performance, and
at 10 O clock, or an hour and a half
after they are through work, they
must be in the car again or a severe
fine is imposed.
In winter the stars go to Europe
and perform in tho heated circus
buildings CT stay ct homo and prac-
tice. Il is a hard life, but it is as
good as any other honest calling, and
I cannot recollect @ single scandal
that has been proved to lie at the
door Of a circus actor. Denver Sun.

IN ONE SCHOCLROOM.

| Alarming Ignorance Sho-r, by Both
| Teacher nns, Scholars.
In the sixth grade the subject of
the lesson was California. During
this recitation no textbook was used
by the teacher. The teacher opened
the lesson with the question. How
long does it take to 60 to California; ?
Then correcting herself. she said,
No. tell me first why you would
like to go to California, though no
one had expressed any particular de-
sire to 80 there.
Il should like to take a drive
| around the mountains" answered
one of the children.
Il should like to see the Golden
gate" said another.
This answer was followed by cry
of "chestnuts from one Of the boys
This remark did not, however, at
tract the attention Of the teacher. In
fact during the entire lesson there
was complete absence Of discipline.
After the children had given their
reasons for desiring to so to Califor-
MIA, the teacher remarked, Now,
tell me how long it takes to go
therel"
In reply 70 this all sorts of guesses
were made, the lowest being five
days and the highest seven weeks.
At last a little girl said: Il know.
My mamma went to California last
winter. She started On d Thursday
evening"
This manner of solving the prob
lem did not, however, appear to meet
with unanimous approval, as the
child's remarks were cut short by a
cry Of Come off
Unfortunately to the teacher her
self the whole subject OF California
appeared to be involved in as deep
mystery as the language of the Hin
docs. Indeed the children appeared
to do more toward the enlighten-
ment of the teacher than the latter
did to enlighten them Nevertheless
she finally put an end to the agoniz-
ing suspense by saying, Il think it
would take about a week.
Through what cities would you
pass in travelling from Buffalo to
California;" was the next question.
Chicago" said one of the chill
dren.
Let me see" the teacher re-
marked, as she walked to the wall
map to verify the answer. When
other cities were mentioned, she did
the same thing.
What can you tell me about San
Francisco" she asked later. 1T is
the largest city in California, " pu
pill replied.
"Itis one Of the largest, but | don't
know that it is the largest" said the
teacher.
This ridiculous recitation was
closed with the reading of an extract
from an article on California which
one Of the children had found in an
encyclopedia. DIR. ]. NJ. Rice in

FORT LAFAYETTE.

From the grim. black ports no guns look on
To guard the narrow ocean gate,
And a vine hath wrapped the fort about,
Investing il with royal state.
And the frowning, solemn, stately walls
Hold here and there patch Of moss,
While the sunlit image softened falls
Below, where tideways roll and toss.
1t seems no more like & thing of death,
OF terrible and awful scars;
For sweet nature winds living wreath
To hide the rusted prison bars.
At the sunset hour it seems to be
A shadow OF the coming night,
Wrought of the foam and mists Of the sea,
TC vanish with the break of light.
1t stands rs a sentinel to hail
The twilight ships which gently ride
With phantom crew and shadowy sail
Regardless of the wind and tide
When the veil Of mist rolls in from sea,
The fort is seen in silhouette,
And a starlit banner seems to be
Flung far out from the parapet.
And the banner is the summer sky
From north to south and east to west,
10 distant lands it seems to fly
And wrap the world below in rest
All strife Is then but mockery-
The tossing t1deways never cease,
But their gentle murmur is to me
The watchword of the nation-Peace.

Iicioas to t,~ei: to Ni..tSsi.-
An old east Boston bachelor lives
with his hc11sekeeper IN a pretty little
house with an l. on Maverick street.
One day during a hot spell he had
company, consisting of his married
sister and her two sons. who came IL
spend the day.
They remained and spent the
night. Harry. the elder cf the two
boys, was assigned to sleep with bis
uncle, and Joe was to sleep with his
mother III the spare bed that is. if
sleep were a possible thing
AL retired about half past 10
o'clock, and sfter tossing and aoun

or two, the old man. not being used
to Il bedfcllow. turned to his nephew
and said:
Harry, | can't stand this any
longer; let us slip out on the roof Of
the L. it will be so nice and cool out
there
Suiting the action to his words,
the old gentleman got up. and slip
ping on pail' of slippers stepped
through the open window to the
roof, his ne7shew following suit.
When slightly cooled off Harry be-
gan to look around and soon espied a
long wooden beam running from the
<,f A,>
house.
I'm going TO set up there on that
beam, uncle" he cried
When he had reached the desired
position he said to his uncle:
You're missing it, uncle; the
wind comes over the roof of the
house i'll q fine breeze, and you cant
feel the least bit of it down there"
The idea Of a cool breeze was too
much fcl the old man, and with
great difficulty. owing TO his flowing
nightdress, he managed to get as
t,i;le OF the beam.
The wind did feel good, and the
old bachelor felt fully repaid for the
trouble or climbing up,
Presently tho sound of some cne
whispering was heard by the two ON
t}lo beam, and they strained their
ears
'Oh, uncle, it is some women over
IN that window" " whispered Harry,
pointing to- a window in the back of
the house next to the L.
The old man looked and great
beads Of lerspiration stood out on
his body as he saw dilnly outlined III

three ,1n1nistakably feminine faces.

stood, wildly gesticulating to each
other and evidently, from their at:-
tons, taking himself and Harry for
ghosts.
With hurried caution to his
nephew to be raotionless the old gen
tleman frightened his hold on the
beam and remained rigid, hoping
that something might induce the
watchers to leave the window. For
fully twenty minutes he remained
thus, and then one of the faces dis
appeared and i'll q few seconds re-
turned re-enforced by several others.
At the sight of the additional faces

words were exchanged, and the consul
ordered the captain to give up the war

1t Ia difficult to detect any signs Of
Improvement While there has been
some addition to tho number OF manu-.
featuring establishments, and the num-
Der OF hands at work during the past
week, it is becoming painfully clear
that the orders obtained do not suffice
TO keep employed at full time even the
limited force ut present engaged.
The reports from other cities disclose
distinct check in business. There is
on the whole less'activity and less con-
idence regarding the future than there
was a week ago, and this is in many
cases attributed to the uncertainty re-
garding the monetary future which de-
lay in the senate causes.
The demand for iron products is on
the whole less satisfactory than it was
n week ago. Steel blllets are selling Mt
Pittsburgh for SIS per ton, and there is
practically no demand for rails.

has been 800, against 1874 ior the same

Grove Company's electric road through
East Wheeling by the Council commit
tees on streets, alleys and grades and
railroads is rapidly assuming the ap-

met in joint session again last night to
consider it. On Thursday the members
went over the route and then adjourned
till Friday evening. Last night some
body moved that the ordinance DO read.
Mr.. Brock asked il the ordinance had
been printed, and was informed that it
had not. He then moved that the COM
mittee adjourn until tho ordinance
could DO printed, and that the Wheel
ing & Elm Grove Il. II. pay the cost OF
calling tho committees together the next
time. This was seconded.
In the talk which followed it devel-
oped that this question came up on
Thursday and the committee decided
thatthe ordinance should not be printed
until the committee was ready to report
it to Council. The meeting adjourned,
however, till Monday evening. Then
there was some question which ordi-
nance should DO printed, and 1t was
