The Love Of Women.
IN the Nashville American.


Who shall fathom a womans heart or
measure the depths of her love? She is
angelic in her charity and divine in her
forgtveness-where man is concerned. Re-
Gently in Chicago a woman appeared at the
city Jail with a basket of delicacies, which
she requested should be sent to one of the
prisoners. One of her arms was in a sling
for it had been broken by blow from a
club Her head was encircled by q band
age which covered one eye which had been
bruised by fist. There were many con-
tusions on her body, she was suffering great
pain and was hardly able to walk by reason
of the cruel beating she had received. But
In spite of all this she had prepared the
basket of dainty edibles and brought it
for her husband-the brute who had beaten
thought that he had nothing to eat but the
for him those things she knew he would
like.
He was her husband. and all the cruel and
brutal treatment she had received from him
had not slain in her heart the love he had
awakened there in the happy, hopeful days
that a woman never forgets. He was
brute, of course, and she-well, many would
say she was very foolish. Perhaps so; who
shall say? Beng something of a man and
therefore something of a brute, we do not
feel competent to act as a juror in such
q case as this. The merits and refinements
of II are beyond us-as much of mystery
as that of the stars which ilumine the

THE INDIANS LANGUAGE.
He Still Prefers It to English in Spite
Of the Missionaries.


From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
The Indian exhibits the same quickness
In grasplng a new idiom or striking phrase
as the white man, although restricted
necessarily to Indian sources. 1t Is a re-
markable fact that the slang of the English
tongue finds little favor with the reds,
although they are eager to seize upon any
thing good in any other Indian tongue.
Their confinement to the bounds Of the
reservations has had the effect of purifying
their language in that there is little Of the
old mixture of other tribes to be found.
All Indian language is spoken in cultural.
deep throaty tones. with small syllabies
and much use Of the vowels- Words OF the
Sioux sometimes mean whole phrases OF
English Take. for instance. the old word
"a-mah-pas-an-ta-gil which expresses
long sentence in English.
1t means that the Indian has seen some
thing sihouetted against the sky, after
dusk has set in, and that he has watched
until he could distinguish the object by
the red light Of the after glow Tender
feet scarcely ever observe this peculiar
phenomenon of the plains, but old plains
men have noticed that always In the even
Ing when darkness Is gathering over the
land there is faint temperance Of glow
ing red light, as If the sun were about to
rise again.
The Indians, who are great at noticing
things understood this phenomenon and
watched for 1t. When written the word
would have been wa yan-ka-pi' added If
the object had been seen by more than
one The affx pr always signifies the
plural number.
The old Indian words wigwam and toma-
hawk have no longer place in the Ian
guage of the reds. These and many others
are practically extinct. They were strictly
speaking words of eastern tribes, and in
some cases they were the inventions Of
trappers. and plainsmen. The Sioux word
for wigwam is tepee, which has a more
essentially Indian sound.
BY prefxing and affixing an Indian word
may be heightened out into meanings that
would require a whole paragraph of Eng
lish to fully translate The language is
very comprehensive, and in its greater
purity is more poetical than formerly,
shorn as it now is of what correspondent to
Indian slang.
