Cradle of Indian Babies,

When you go through an Indian camp,
you can see red and green sacks standing
against the sides of the tepees, carried on
the backs of little girls by means of "A
blanket which is fastened at the waist
with a broad leather belt, or being rocked
to and fro by the wind in the boughs of
cottonwood trees, These sacks are Indian
cradles. Sometimes, if the camp is going
on a long journey in search of game or for
water, or to escape war party two of
these sacks are fastened together by stout
straps and swung over the back of "A pony,
one dangling on each side, like the baskets
on pack mule But as rule the horses
are left for the men and boys to ride, ana
the papooses are either carried by the girls
or packed away on "travoise," which is
the only wagon the Indians have.-New

EgOtism of Wordsworth.

Wordsworth considered 1.-THE Excur-
sion" his best and next to it 1.-THE White
Doe of Rylstone." Wordsworth said that
when he first thought seriously of being a
poet he looked into himself to see how he
was fitted for the work and seemed to find
there "that first great gift, the vital soul, -
q statement which shows that, whatever
other people may think of him. he had a
passably fair opinion of himself. He fire.
quently expressed his opinion of his own
poetry and once said that he had widened
the domain of the poet over whole field

And fancied he sang his song for me;
And the melody fingers in heart and brain.

When the crocus opens, and NAPLES bring
Their crimson tassels to kiss the breeze
And the sunshine dallies with newleaved trees

And the stars come out DER the silent town;
But there's never harsh or mournful note
That wells afresh from the warblers throat

That carries me on from year to year,
To sing in the shadow as in the sun,
Doing my part till the work is done

Englishmen have submitted to the name
Of John Bull as suited to the national
character \ Scotchman is Sandy. The
Irishman derives his name Paddy, from
his national patron saint, while an ancient
nursery rhyme records the fact that Taffy
was a Welshman. English sailors call the
Frenchmen, in contempt, Johnny Crapaud,
but in France he is Jacques Bonhomme,
or as bourgeois NJ. Prudhomme. Cous
in Michel is the name by which the Ger

Canine Sagacity.

1 knew a dog in Ireland-a large retriev-
er-who had been taught always to bring
his own tin dish in his mouth to be filled
at the late dinner For some reason his
master wished to make a change and to
feed him twice day instead of once to
which he had always been accustomed.
The dog resented this, and when told to
bring his dish refused, and it could no.
where be found, on which his master
spoke angrily to him and ordered him to
bring the dish at once. With dropping tail
and sheepish expression he went down the
length of the garden and began scratching
up the soil where he had buried the bowl
deep down to avoid having to bring it at
an hour of which he did not approve

SOME FINANCIAL VIEWS.
What an Up-COuntry Man Thinks OF
the Silver Question.

the Silver Question.
Tennille, Ca, July s.-Editor Morning
News.-There seems to be belief among
the people that those who favor sound
money are acting in concert with the
monied interest. and every suggestion to
the contrary is met with the statement
that "the bankers favor that" and similar
slurs.
1 am not a banker, nor do handle more
money than seems TO me is actually needed
for comfortable livelihood, nor am I IA
miliar with the modes that bankers persue
to increase their capital, but judging from
the number of millionaires the last three
decades have produced, and remembering
the imitation period when the gold holders
wealth very rapidly, 1t seems to me that
bankers would favor the free coinage Of sill
yer so as TO confuse the monetary business
as much as possible, and out of such con-
fusion make big profits.
Why would not the field for speculation
be immensely enlarged by free silver coin
age? Speculation in gold would be a fea-
ture of the times, such as was carried on
in the latter part of the sixties or early
seventies. ! can't but think that the bank
ers are charged wrongfuIy. / am in favor
Of currency that is stable Let US all
favor the sort of bimetallism that would
give US a sufficient volume of both gold
and silver to transact the business of the
whole country, but not a greater quantity
of either than can be kept at parity with
the other. And to make it more flexible,
take the tax off state bank issues.
Eli Perkins article of June rs, stating
that there Is now idle in the treasury of the
United States sos. 100000 in silver, and that
there is but $4,000 900 In circulation. IS con-
vincing evidence of the preference for the
gold dollar and statement from the treas
urer to this effect, vouched for properly,
should be given distribution insuch form
as the people would get at it. And further,
the ratio of 16 to / should be explained
fully and frequently In our newspapers.
There are those who think that this means
16 silver dollars put in circulation against
one dollar in gold. 1t Is wonderful how
ignorant the masses are on the financial
question, and It is very difficult to get at
, them in manner that would enlighten
them y Democrat.
