FROM A COSMOPOLITANP PATRON.
EDITOR THE CONSERVATIVE:
I am much obliged to you for sending
me some extra copies Of your issue for
March 2Sth, in which you kindly pub
lished my sonnet entitled Wings" I
have already received several highly
complimentary letters from literary
friends, in praise of it. One, also, from
England and another from Germany. A
Yale graduate on the staff of the Rocky
Mountain News is even eXtravagant in
his appreciation.
After you receive this letter, please to
change my address for the numbers of

painted eight copies of old portraits;
hardly to be distinguished from the
originals. Pardon me if my parental
feelings impel me to say that am proud
of her.
In reading over your CONSERVATIVE
for March 28th, I was interested in the
article on page Q, entitled "Bequests."
I fully agree with your views. But,
perhaps, you will allow me mild criti-
cism as to the use of one word. Ten
lines from the bottom of the page occurs
the phrase "enlightened selfshness."
I have long been accustomed to draw a
distinction between "selfishness' and
"self-interest." Selfishness is a vice,
because it does not pay attention to the
rights of others. Self-interest is a
virtue, because it is consistent with a
careful regard for the rights and in
terests of others. I believe, on con-
sideration, that you will see the pro-
priety of this discrimination.
Your paper is lively one; works for
the good of our fellow-men; is on the
right side; and I read it always from
end to end with admiration.

which bespoke favorable growing
season. Once more the blanket was re-
placed and the ceremony continued until,
upon removing the blanket again, the
full, ripe ear was revealed, growing on
fully matured stalk. The ear was
plucked by the medicine man and passed
from hand to hand as others joined the
dance great joy seemed manifest, as the
ear was well-shaped and we'll
filled which gave them assurance
of a bountiful harvest. Surely
these dusky husbandmen had processes
superior to their pale-faced followers;
now the farmer must trust to luck and
the caprices of the elements, and risk
his seed and years labor before he knows
the results to be obtained; then, all was
known before the seed was placed in the
ground.
Mr. North says he did not handle the
ear, but he saw the corn planted, and
witnessed its growth to maturity, and
observed the ripened ear, all within two
hours time. He has no theory to pre-
sent, but he thinks it very doubtful if
the camera would reveal it in pictures.
The feats of jugglery, practiced in India
cannot be photographed, so competent
authorities tell us; if this be true it
must partake of hypnotism, and, there
fore, opens a new line of study for
students of the American aborigine.
One more feat which Mr.. North has
witnessed must certainly be an optical
illusion of some sort, and seems to sub
stantiate the hypnotic theory A strong
cord or rope was attached to an arrow,
and the arrow placed to the bow-string
and shot through the body of an Indian
brave; warrior at each end of the
cord, by jerking and pulling, made
dumping jack" of the perforated brave;
suspending him in air and cutting all
manner of antics without sign of pain
or inconvenience from the victim This
was continued for some time, until one
of the warriors dropped the end of the
cord and the brave was released. He
suffered no harm, and showed no signs
of wound from the arrow thrust, so it
must have been an optical illusion.
How it was done, where the art or
skill to perform such feats came from,
and how long they had been practiced,
are mysteries. That such feats were
commonly practiced by the Pawnees is a
firmly established fact, and it remains
for students to give us solution of the
mysteries surrounding them. Mere in
credulity does not answer the condition
of this problem.
According to the light we now have,
we must acknowledge that the recent
Indians are descendants from the
aborigines, here, in Nebraska, whatever

traced to their contact with the whites,
but here we have feats Of jugglery which
no white man can perform. In THE
CONSERVATIVE, some weeks ago, Mr.. A.
T. Richardson, who is one of the ablest
students of Indian characteristics in the
state, gave an account of the Indians
power to play musical instrument
which no white man can sound, and,
also, told of two stones which an Indian
could make luminous by rubbing, but
which a white man could not effect.
The list of real Indian arts is growing,
and, through the medium of feats which
we know were not learned from contact
with the white man, we may, in time,
come to know the aborigine in his primi-
tive state. When that time comes we
will be prepared to trace his wander
ings and read his genealogy much more
accurately than can be done today.
If the aborigine practiced hypnotism,
which seems evident, that fact alone
places him on high plane of intelli-
gence-barbarians do not hypnotize. If
the old settlers will assist in this re-
search, as Mr.. North is doing, and each
contribute his experience to the budget,
and let it go on record, substantiated by
eye-witnesses, much light may be thrown
on the obscure history of these interest
ing people, which will be invaluable to
future students, when no eye-witnesses
can be called to prove what, in their
time, will become but ga creation of a
diseased imagination.
If you have reason to doubt anything
written in these articles, over my name,
please have no hesitation in making it
known. 1 shall be only too glad to get
truth and nothing but truth shall be re-
tanned if can help it,
H. P. Coolidge, a timer, working in
Columbus, has often seen the feats, above
mentioned, performed while he was in
the government employ at the Pawnee
reservation. He came to Nebraska in
1847, and has been with the Indians of
the Missouri valley for many years. He
says he knew the Pawnees when they
numbered several hundred thousand,
and, he says, the smallpox epidemic of
1853 first weakened them until their
enemies gained the ascendency over
them.
I shall give the readers of The Con-
SENTATIVE few legends, which I
learned from these gentlemen, in time,
but I wish these feats of jugglery, as
repeated by witnesses, to have a
wide circulation, and, if there be others
in the state who can add their testimony
as eye-witnesses, should be pleased to
hear from them, as wish the matter
settled beyond question, and source
of authority established for students to
work from, in years to cone, when we,
of mortal clay, have ceased to study the
American aborigine at longe range, but
have gone hence to meet him in the

cade ever woven in the looms of France
and the many colors are still brilliant
beyond expression.
But the production! oh! how slow 1t
must have been; they wove inches
where we weave yards, and yet 1t
would tax the best machinery of the
present day to weave this piece of bro
cade. There are so many colors and
the design is so intricate, The looms
on which these rare fabrics We're woven
were very simple affairs, with two or
three girls to loom, working for very
low wages, making the figures almost
entirely by hand. The Japanese do not

stand by the Teacher.

In conversation with gentleman
from the country recently he made the
remark that he expected 10 send his
children to school this year In another
district. as he did not like the teacher
In his own district. When we asked
him what was the matter with the
teacher. he said: "0h, don't know as
there is anything the matter with the
teacher. but wanted another teacher,
and don't like the way the district
board acted In this matter" This Is
about the kind of an excuse a great
many people have when they object 10
the teacher hired by the district board.
As the gentleman was talking TO us his
little boy was standing alongside OF
him. How can we expect that children
will have any respect for the teacher
when the parents talk against him.
District boards may sometimes make
a mistake In hiring a teacher, but after
the teacher has been employed 1t is the
duty of every patron of the school to
stand by the teacher and try TO make
the school us good as possible unless
the teacher violates some law.-Ex'
