meek and retiring disposition have
kept retreating from civilization, and
have had little to do with any outside
their tribe. So they remain a com
paratively large tribe scattered over
an immense territory embracing most
Of the state OF Chihuahua. They shun
the stranger, and their one desire is
to be undsturbed in the life which
was passed by their ancestors.

the seals, was at one time to be met
with in vast herds along the whole

1t is equally necessary for the ruling
rich and the oppressed poor to change their
understanding Of life; and it is easier for
the poor than for the rich. Without alter
ing their position the poor need only abstain
from deeds contrary to love and not partici-
pate in such deeds, and all this organization
opposed to love would collapse of itself. II
is much more difficult for the rulers to ac-

this week, recalls how the orbit
OF his life once touched that of
one of the prominent women
OF this parish: Mrs. Jas, P.
Bowman of Rosedown plantation.
Formerly Miss Sarah Turnbull,
she was a great belle, heiress
and beauty, and at Saratoga in
1852 she met and knew quite
well Washington Irving famous,
then and ever. Donald Mitchell
was also there, though at that
time he bad not written Dream

since those of the gentle Ella ap-
peared. Miss Turnbull made a
deep impression on both of these
now celebrated men, as is seen
by Tx Marvel's preface to the
edition of Dream Life" publish
ed in 1868 In it he thus refers
to the fair maiden from Louisi-
ana: ..
Among the visitors was tall, in
teresting young from Louisiana,
if | mistake not-who had the reputa-
ton of being a great heiress, and who
was, of course, beset by a host of adj
mirers. There was something very
attractive in her air, and Mr.. Irving
was never tired of gazing on her as
she walked, with what he called a
'faun-like step" across the lawn, or
up and down the corridors. Her eyes
too-"dove-like," he termed them
were his special admiration. He
watched with an amused interest the
varying fortunes of the rival lovers,
and oftennmet me with-"Well, who is
in favor today?" And he discussed
very freely the varying chances.

II believe it eventually proved that
no one of those present was the sue

fair girl was afterWard a bride: and
