Alaskan DemOraIization.

The condition Of the Alaska natives Is
most demOralized The native house
has one room, where the entire family
sleep on the floor, cook around a hole
IN the tloor, and eat from an iron dish
standing on the floor. into which each
one reaches his wooden spoon. To open
the minds Of theSt people and teach
them to desert their filth without at the
same time training them to some means
Of earning money 10 support cleanlier
style Of living would only increase their
wretchedness. Missionary work en-
counters serious obstacles in native Gus
toms, which are demoralizing. especially
20 the girls.
The custom Of the natives is to buy
their wives A boy frequently has a
wife bought for him BY his father within
q few weeks Of his birth, and the chill.
dren are then raised together until they
are grown. Since the white miner has
come this custom has been extended 10
sales or leases 10 the white men. and
girls are such a source OF income that
parents viii not allow them to 20 10 the
mission school, The courts sustain the
right Of parents to control their chill
dren, aud girls who beg to be let into
the school cannot be taken without the /
parents consent Native husbands and |
wives adopt young children and raise
them for the position Of second husband
or wife when the first dies. In this
way boys Of fifteen or sixteen become
husbands Of crippled old women and
young girls become the wives, and fre-
Iuently the plural wives, Of old men.
SCORES Of people are annually murdered
- witches under Alaskan superstition
md hundreds Of thousands Of women
.re ruined, becoming drunken and
Erelehed snuaRs.

All women are in league against tie
bachelor-tho married woman from
sympathy with their unmarried sisters
and the unmarried from desire TO les
son the number Of spinsters. With this
league against him, offensive and de-
fensive, the unmarried man may find
peace in heaven, but he can scarce hope
to find happiness or earth this side Of
marriage. However, once mauied all
the bachelors troubles are over He
is no longer the subject Of interested or
designing attentions-excopt the atten-
tions which proceed from love.
True, the bachelor becomes on hi
marriage, if not the object Of commits
Grafton 10 the knowing ones, an object
81 comparative indifference TO all women
but one; but the superior love Of that
one alonos for all, and his added dignity
and completeness as q man and citizen
make him wonder how he previously
existed as onc-half of Il pair Of scissors
without the other half - HomQn's

People as a rule are greatly given to
exaggeration. We hear Of armies count
less as the sands Of the seasho-e. -
mountains far above the clouds, "un-
fathomable lakes, and so on.
In regard 70 money, the popular no
iion is wonderfully erroneous, and seems
to be founded on fairy stories, which
speak recklessly Of mountains OF gold
and silver and rooms full Of guineas.
To these people who think that all the
gold in the world if gathered in one
heap, would make a respoctable-s
mountain, it will be a surprise TO hear
that it world not make q small hill.
II is quite easy TO find the figures
which justify this conclusion. At the
commencement OF the Christian era.
there was in the world S427, 600, 900 in
gold. This IS an estimated basis on
careful calculations, and must be very
nearly correct But gold is very soft
and wears away to an astonishing ex-
tent; in consequence, this amount had
diminished to S57,000,0O0 at the time
America was discovered.
Then it began to increase. Peru an6
Mexico added to the worlds supply.
California increased it still further, and
finally came Australia and South
Africa. With all these sources Of sup
ply, the amount Of gold increased. m
til at the present day it is estimated a
&C, 900. 000, 900.
Six billions Of dollarsl And is not
that mountain Of gold you ask. No;
nothing like It. Taking gold at slS en-
ounce, which is belew its coin value. a
cnbic inch is worth $2i0; cubic foot.
t252, $50; q cubic yard, So, 797. .70O. Thrs
the total amount Of gold is about 6l3
cubic yards.
Now, suppose you had room twenty
six feet each way, length. breadth, and
height-that'is to say, q cube Of twenty
six feet This cube would contain 651
cubic yards, within fraction. and IN
This room Jon could put all the gold in
he worldl
OF course, the gold would have 10 be
n one solid mass. but even with that
Droviso, does it not seem wonderful. and
almost incredibleg Yet II i absolutely
rue.
As to silver, that Is a different affair.
In all the world there is probably a !
rery resDectable hill Of silver, but All /,
he gold, as you have seen, might be
'asily stored in an ordinary dwelling.

The Court of inquiry in Washington
into the naval battle at Santiago is prov.
ing a yindication for Admiral Schlev un-
der whose command the battle was
fought and won while Admiral Sampson
was twenty miles away on the battleship
New York. The Brooklyn on which
was Admiral Schley and the Oregon did
nearly all the fighting. OF the total num-
Der of shots which struck the Spanish
fleet 81 per cent. were five-inch shells.
The Brooklyn alone carried five inch
shells. OF the forty-two hits scored by
the enemy thirty struck the BROOKLYN.
Schleys first report of the battle did not
mention the New York, on which was
Admiral Sampson twenty miles away, as
being in the battle, as he was not there,
but Sampson returned it for Schlev to
mention the New York as being there
and taking the Spanish boat Colon as a

Freedom of Press Preserved.

After a long and bitter fight the Vir-

adopted in the bill Of rights a provision
for freedom Of the press and speech. 1t
is as follows:
THAT the freedom of the press is one
OF the great bulwarks of liberty and can
never be restrained but by despotic gov
ernments, and any citizen may speak,
write and publish his sentiments on ali
subjects, being responsible for the abuse
of that liberty"
