TWO SMILES. I neYer knew delight until that day When, as I crossed a dusty city park. Though t - weary, tortured t>y fore IxHlintrs dark, A child smiled'on rae from its happy play.

IX THK CHOCTAW LAM). The Tribe and Its Dissensions—The Singular Status of" the White Alan and Negro. Corrmjxmdeuce .Vest York Sun. TheChaetow Nation is one of the five nations into tv hie h the Indian Territory is divided, its territory is bounded on the east by Arkansas, on the south bv Texas, and on the west and north by the lands of other nations, including those of the Cherokees and the Creeks. It contains 11,000 square miles. It is divided into sixteen counties and three districts. Its surface is diversified by large rolling prairies, alternated with low fiat bottoms, meadows, forests, hills, and mountains. The forests extend over a large portion of the Territory. The most valuable timber Is walnut, hickory, ash, and cottonwood. The ground is underlaid with eoal, with in some places very thick scams. The coal ami timber are hardly touched as vet. Home day they will be very valuable. In the river bottoms the soil is probably the richest in the world. When only half cultivated it produces immense crops. Cotton and Indian corn are the main crops. Tobacco, sorghum, and the cereals, as well as root crops, also do well. The development of the country is. how ever, a thing of the future. A few mines have been opened, principally in the neighborhood of McCalister. In the last year the improvement of the Poteau river, which runs for about forty miles through the Territory, has been mooted. It drains a large section of country near the eastern boundary stored with abun dance of coal, timber, stone, and ore. This improvement will doubtless create a spirit of progress and advancement which will furor the further development of the country. The government of the nation is mod eled after that ol Ihe l nited states. It is composed of a Senate!, it House of Repre sentatives, and an E.Ttcutive, called Chief or Governor, elected I'J the people. Citizens only are allowed to vote. Out of the population of about 15,000, pro?*abir not more than hall are citizens. Tim ■citizens of Choctaw lineage number not 1 more th'U 1,000. The remainder are whites who have married natives. The 1 remaining population is composed of whites and negroes. A resi dent is required by law to have a permit, for which he pays a certain sum, and by virMc of which he is allowed to remain one year in the nation, This permit is issued on the application of a citizen. The occupation to be pursued by the man must be distinctly stated. He theu takes bis application, duly signed, to the Clerk of the County Court, who records it on receipt of a lee of fifty cents, and recom mends to the Sheiiti that a permit he issued to the applicant, who must prove that he in honest and swear that be will abide by the law. If he can do this, and \ nobody can show good reason why he shoulu not to stay in the na tion. he receives the permit. If he is to be a common laborer, or servant to a citizen, it is so stated in the permit, and he pays $2.50 for it. For a renter the charge is $5. Any one engaged in the various trades and callings, as well as the learned pro fessions, and allexccpt thoseunder the two former headings, and licensed traders, are Charged *lO. Any white person can obtain a permit, unless a disinterested citizen of standing gives good reason why he should not receive it. In that case his application will be rejected. Thouirh bribery and evasion of these laws is common enough, yet they are far better enforced now than when first passed, three years ago. Ho little was the law then regarded that its effect was only to produce a laugh when ever mentioned. Outside of a few honest men disposed to abide by the law no at tention was paid to it. The Choctaws wished to remove in truders—those who refused to obtain j er mits and those who had settle** places of their own, many of t>" fitter class fraus dulenti v rights—beyond the line, but found it impossible to do so. Jn this plight the Chief had recourse to the Gm eminent of the United >tates, and re quested assist'nee to remove the intru ders, as promised in the treaty. The Secretary of War telegraphed to the com mander at Fort Sill to furnish the Choc taw Chief, Col. J. F. Mccurtain, with soldiers to use as he thought necessary. Lieut. Shoemaker was ordered with his company to the Choctaw capital, and re ported there for duty on Aug. 1, 1880. The Governor, with his aid and 300 native militia, began the removal of intruders, including all non-citizens who were in any manner offensive to the nation. This spread general consternation among all classes, including even citizens themselves. Great numbers of non-eiti zeus began immediately to apply for per mits, but many were refused who a tew months before might have obtained them. A few among the most respectable non citizens, however, received them. The price of the permits was placed at $l7 each. Many who failed to obtain them fled, and the rest were removed. Little trouble was experienced in the western and interior counties in removing the in truders, but when the Chief arrived in the eastern division of the nation, notably Scully vilie and Sugarloaf counties, much opposition was encountered. This resis tance was mainly among the citizens themselves. The average Choctaw loves work little better than his savage ances tors. They were settled in a counfry whose natural advantages are unsur passed. They received money’ with which they bought slaves, cleared and cultivated land, built good houses, and lived without labor on the produce of a soil teeming with richness. Thus they lived for many years, until the war broke out. This stripped them of their slaves, and most of their other perishable pro perty, and left them poor. What could they do? Only a few had cattle or stock enough to support them. Work they would not, even with the fertile soil ill their possession, which needed only to be tickled to spring up in abundant harvest. In this strait they eagerly accepted the offers of the whites, who, after the war, came flocking into the nation, to till their lands. All that had farms were thus saved from labor, but they were also thus incidentally exposed to* the great and growing nuisance of intruders, which culminated in civil commotion. The great mass of citizens were dependent on white labor. If their renters and hire ling were taken from them, who would till their lands? The whites composed their principal labor, as the negroes, whether native of from the States, were a worthless set. Many citizens openly opposed the re moval of the whites. A law passed about the time of the arrival ot the United States soldiers, restricting them to the employment of one white laborer, still further aroused their ire. This opposi tion! was strongest in Sugar loaf and Sculiy ville counties, because there were far more whites there than in any other part of the nation. Many more farms had been opened and more depended on their labor. When Gov. MeCurtain reached this sec tion the excitement became so great that open talk of resistance was heard on every side. Several citizens gathered crowds of their friends, servants, and renters, all armed and determined on tight, and for some time a revolution was apprehended. Had not conciliatory mea sures been adopted this would probably have been the termination. The law re stricting the citizens to one hireling was modified so as to allow of their employing three, provided that they were of good character, and that they had never fraud ulently claimed rights dr settled places of their own. This pacified so large a num ber of the malcontents that but few were left, and these were easily overawed. After this the work ot removal went on quickly and was soon accomplished. The Chief returned to the capital and dis missed his forces. But right here a total ly unexpected result took place. The in truders oegan to return, at first covertly, one by one, and then openly and in crowds. Nothing could now be done with them, as every means of removing them had been used. True, the law provided a 1 line and punishment for such offenders, hut it was found impossible to enforce it. , Their return gave rise to civil commotions in which Sheriff Lanier of Scullyville county lost bis life. These troubles, however, gradually died away, and the Choctaw Government, by a mild policy and by modifying the rigor of their permit laws, restored a degree of peace to the country. The opposition to the law is not so strong as tormerly, and the price of permits has been greatly re duced. Dissensions still exist, but on the whole the comparative calmn\js of the times promises peace for the future. It now only remains for us to see what part 1 the negroes play in the affairs of this nation. After they were freed, the United States j offered the Choctaws a subsidy of $4*10,000 if they would make citizens of them, giv ; ing them equal rights. The Choctaws made no immediate answer, for, in truth, it put them in a sad quandary. Though they loved well the good money ot Uncle Sam, yet they hated the negroes almost worse than death; and to raise them to an equality with themselves in law, if not socially, was extremely repugnant to ! them. For years they worked to get the i money without positively making citirens i of the negroes. They passed laws giving to the negro forty acres of land, and they ! allowed him to raise all the cattle anil ; stock he could. Many began making places of their own at once, but thisfailed i to satisfy the United States. It wa9 re solved that the Choctaw negroes should • have an equal chance with their former j owners. It reminded the Choctaws that they had sufficiently considered the mat ter and they must make up their minds at once. Accordingly, after a delay of fit t en years, the Choctaws settled theques | tion in their council for 1883 by making j citizens of the Choctaw negroes, but re i striding them from voting or holding of- J fice. This, for various reasons, does not i seem to have satisfied the negroes, nor ! does it seem to have satisfied the govern ment, for we hear of talk in Washington : of cutting off a large and valuable strip ‘ of the eastern portion of the nation to 1 give to the negroes. Whether this will ■ be done or not no one here knows. j Another class here are the State ne i irroes, so called in contradistinction to , those who were former slaves to Choc ; taws. Being citizens of the United States, ■ they have no claims whatever upon the ! Choctaws. Asa class they are far more J lazy and shiftless than the others, and are j a nuisance to the country. j Such are the various classes into which ! the people of this nation are divided, and J such the condition of affairs at the pres -1 sent time.

It was at a late hour one rainy night re cently, says the Boston Budget, that a re porter stood in the doorway of an express office on Washington street talking to one of the clerks. The conversation was sud denly interrupted by the approach of a well-dressed, middle-aged gentleman,who, after glancing at the sign over the door, advanced towards the clerk, when the followingcharacteristieinterview ensued: ‘•ls this an express office?” ‘‘Yes, sir.” ‘‘Do you run to W ?” ‘•Yes’, sir.” “Well, do you folks take boxes?” “Yes, sir.” “Well, what 1 wanted to know was how much you would charge to take a—and the speaker looked It round to see if any one was near, and lowering his voice con tinued —to take a bodv to the W ceme tery ?” “i can’t tell you exactly, sir, but if you know the passenger fare lean give you an idea.” “Well, 1 paid about $2 65 last time I went down to see the folks,” “in that case l don’t think the charge will lie more than $5, sir.” “Little high, ain’t it?” “No, sir, not very: and you know a body takes up considerable room in a car.” “Yes, that’s so; and that’s just where the trouble lies about the cemetery. I got a letter to-day from one of the first citi zens of W—-, in which he says he is en titled to a toot more of land ior his lot. But then, my wife has always said that if she went first she wanted to be buried with the old folks.” “It's sad to lose one’s relatives,” softly replied the sympathizing clerk. “That’s so,” said the other. “Can I bring her here?” “Not to-night, sir, for we don’t take anything after 6 o’clock.

LEGEND OF THE TWINLAW CAIRNS Chamber*' Journal. On the southern ridge of the Lammer moors, five miles from the v illage of Wes trutber, Berwickshire, stands the Twin law Cairns. They form one of the most noted and interesting features of the coun try side. The Twinlaws, as they sre fa miliarly termed, are two pillars of un hewn whinstone, which stand about fifty or sixty yards apart. Around the base of e tch, a rough circular ca*eway of flat stor es, unpolished by the touch of art, extends to a radiU9 of several feet. A few miles to the wrestwardof these monu ments, and hidden, all but.the turrets, amid a clump of fir-trees, is the mansion of Spottiswoode; while to the east is the , decayed house of Wedderlie, once the home of the Edgars, now the property of Lord Blantyre. On the plain beneath,*be tween tbe rising ground and the turnpike that leads past Lauder and on to Edin burgh, the infant Blackadder trickles through fields that not long ago were marsh-land, on its journey Mersewards. In this same flat area, a ragged remnant of an ancient forest is still to be seen, straggling toward the Jordonlaw peat moss—a bog full of treacherous pools and stagnant ditches. Still a dreary district, this was once a savage region, the haunt of wild animals, whose names have been given to farms and clachaus. In the neighborhood one comes across such places as Wolfstruther (now Westruther), lioe cleuch, Ilarelaw and Hindside. The Twinlaw Cairns are two grim me morials of a tragic and pathetic incident in Scottish tradition. Connected with them is a legend which every dweller in the district knows bv heart. Though to the great herd of tourists they may be un known, never a summer passes but they are visited by faithful pilgrims. Anglers on their way to the fishing-burns beyond climb to the top of the pillars by means of projecting slabs, to enjoy the pure at mosphere, which is cool in hottest days, and to gaze on the surrounding scenery. i From the pinnacle of the pillars a fine ■. prospect is to lie had. Away in front of J the spectator, in a direct line southward, j are the imposing and massive remains of Ilume Castle; and beyond, the dim out i line of the Cheviots meeting the horizon. ! Westward are the Eildon Hills and the | heights in the neighborhood of Earlston, the ancient residence of Thomas, the Rhymer. To the eastward, between the Lammcrmoors and tbe Northumbrian coast, stretches the Merse, with its farm steadings and fair fields—a perfect garden of agriculture. But our immediate subject is not the surrounding scenerv; it is the two som bre Cairns on the brow of tbe Twinlaw hill. The hills have aebarrn all their own in the daytime; but it is only after sunset, t an, J when viewed from the plain beneath, i that tbe Cairns themselves are absorbing in their interest. In the gray twilight, t when the silence is unbroken save by the I sough of the wind or the solitary cry of | the curlew, they loom through the thin j rising mist, dim, desolate, fascinating the imagination. It is then the story that ex plains their presence appeals with all its force and pathos to the mind. There is not a rustic in the country-side but knows the tale. Meet a hind or a shepherd by ! tbe wayside after his work is over, and he I will repeat it, as it has come to him from [ bis fathers, with a subdued seriousness i that borders on reverence. He will tell J you jt occurred in the time when Scotland [ tought for her independence, and on a hot j summer’s day. j The Anglo-Saxons* restless band | Had crossed the river Tweed, [ Up for the hills of Lamtnermoor The host inarched on with speed. The E.?slisb army encamped on one side of what is now known as the Twinlaw hill. On the oi^ e l s M e - a Scottish force, inferior in numliers, assembled, and pre pared to offer resistance. Our Scottish warriors on the heath In tiie close battalion stood. Resolved to set their country free, Or shed their dearest blood. But the fates decreed that there should be no general light, for wuiie ~otU , waited in readiness, an English chieftain, exuU’hg in his might, sent a challenge to the Scots daring any one of them to come and meet him in single combat. Young Edgar of Wedderlie, who was in the Scot tish camp, heard the challenge and ac cepted it. The two champions at once commenced the duel, the armies on each side looking on. The tight was fierce—- From left to right, from right to left, The sweating focman reeled. Young Edgar was the first to be wounded. He received a “bluidv gash” in the right side, and a moment’s* truce was held till ihe wound was stanched with lax. The fight was renewed, and grew me*-e despe rate, and at last it ended by Edgar slay ing the Southron. Just as* the struggle ceased, and when Edgar was looking on the face of his lifeless toeman. u old frail man with long gray hair tottered across from the English lioct to the tatal place where the victories youth stood. The old man, “heav'Jj pressed by sorrow,” bent over tic ueatl champion of the Southrons, jt- ( then, looking up at Edgar, burst out into a piteous wail: “Woe! woe is me for this deed of blood! Edgar of Wedderlie, sore will thy sorrow be. Look on the dead! Thou hast slain the son of thy father! It is thy twin-brother that lies lileless on the heath. It is thy brother whom 1 stole away in inlanoy from his father’s hall. A man of might he was—brave and noble— and lie now lies dead—slain by the hand of his twin-brother! Woe, woeful day!” From his childhood, Edgar had known that his brother had been stolen by gyp sies or soldiers; and no sooner did be hear this revelation than he unstanehed his wound, and stood calm and passionless till the blood flowed from his veins, fn a few moments be sank in death bv the side of his brother’s body. Both armies, deep ly impressed by the'seene, laid down their arms and gave up all idea of battle. In the quiet of the evening the two hosts formed into a single line, that stretched from the brow- of the hill down to the val ley—to the side of the Watch— A lonely stream that sob* along. Like a child who has lost his way. Making its moan to the heal Hess hills That imprison it night and day. From the bed of the streamlet they picked the stones, and handing them one by oue along the line, built the Twinlaw Cairns by the grave of the two brothers. Such is the legend that tolls the story of these rude pillars. Since they were raised, once or twice they have been partially overthrown by the rage of the elements, but always tenderly restored. Ladv John Scott, of Spottiswoode, takes a p'rida in the sacred relics, and sees that thev are kept in good order. It is a lonely place, far from the roar of railway trains and fashionable resorts; butevery tourist who finds himself in the neighborhood fails not to make a pilgrimage to the Cairns. RED .JACKET’S RONES. To be Reinterred Near liufi'jlo After a brand Council of the Six Nations. For some time the Buffalo Historical Society has had safely locked within its vaults the bones of the great Indian warrior and statesman, Red Jacket, says a Buffalo (N. Y.) special of the 18tii inst. to the World. They were removed from an old Indian burying-ground four miles from Buffalo, for the purpose of reinter ring them quietly at Forest Lawn Ceme tery. The facts becoming known, there has been such general interest in the mat ter that it has been decided to make the affair a national event. The plans in clude a grand last congress of the Con federacy ofthe Six Nations of the Iroquois. These were the Mohawks, Cayugas, Senecas, Tuscaroras, Onondagas and Oneidas. A large subscription is to be raised to bring as mauy representatives of the Six Nations as will come. An ef fort will be made to make it a fitting tribute to the dead warriors who lived and worked and died with Red Jacket. Besides this Indian orator there are many other chiefs interred near here whose bones will be taken to Forest Lawn at the same time. Among them are Farmers’ Brother, Gov. Blacksnake, Lit tle Billy, Capt. Pollard, Seueca White, Young King, Destroy Town, John Mo hawk, Hon. Non-IJe-Uh, Capt. Strong, Tall Chief and Chief Warrior. A committee of fifteen prominent citi zens has been placed in charge of the celebration, which will occur probably in September. Among the relics in the so ciety’s rooms is Red Jacket’s tomahawk, presented George Washington. It is silver-mounted, and can be used as a pipe. This trinket was secured from the wife ot the dead chief many years ago by the relic hunters, and has just been purchased by the society. Then there is an oil painting of the Great Chief, taken from an original water color sketch. Be sides these there are oil paintings of his grandchildren, and a copy of Stanley’s famous picture of the trial of Red Jacket, the original of which is now owned by Stanley’s widow, who lives in Detroit. The society has also secured the original slab which marked Red Jacket’s grave. It was erected by Henri PJacide, the French actor. It is proposed to have Gov. Cleveland as orator. Wood and Coal For sale by R. B. Cassels. Tavlor and East Broad streets. Telephone No. 77.— Adv. NO CAUSE FOR ALARM. Lull in the Peanut Trade, bat Indication* that the Country will Full Through. Recent advices from Norfolk, the centre of the Beanut trade in the South, says the New Y'ork Sun , read as though it might become necessary to shut up the east side places of amusement tor want of the usual peanut supply, and to run the trav eling circuses the coming season without the wonted crackle of shucks to accom pany the hat spinning and other silent leatures of the show. A serious business disagreement has arisen, resulting in a deadlock. A member ot the firm that is exten sively interested in the trade, both as cleaners in Virginia and as wholesalers in this city, said: “Some six or seven years ago the first peanut ‘factory’ in Virginia was started. At these factories peanuts are bought in large quantities, cleaned, picked over, bagged, branded and sent to tbe Northern markets. The brands are well known in the trade, and prices are made according to the brands. “The factories increased rapidly, till the bulk of the business was done through them. Instead of being compelled to clean, bag and ship the nuts, and often to wait for their money till the goods could be sold by commission merchants, the farmers now sell the nuts right on their farms and get cash for them. They have never sold their crops so advantageously as since the factories have been started. The cleaners find their profit in the better prices brought by goods after they have been cleaned and picked over and brand ed with brands known to the trade. “The present disagreement arose in this way: A good many peanut raisers have been shipping goods to commission mer chants in Norfolk. The commission men prefer to s*dl the nuts in large lumps—so many thousand bags at a uniform price per pound. In the' factories it is often tound that there are a good manv light nuts in these lots, which are blown.out by the fans, and w ban they come to bag and brand the cleaned nuts, thev hndthey have lost money. So there w as*a meetin'g a few days ago of men interested in the factories, and it was decided to adopt a weight-and-color standard in buying of commission men and farmers. They de cided simply to buy each bag of nuts on its merits, instead of buying in lumps. This will benefit the farmers —-j nuts of a good quality to market, and will encourage the production of fine goods. “There is no fight going on, though buy ing is nearly at a standstill. Several con ferences have been held, and all that can be done in a decorous and business-like way to come to an agreement has been done, or will be done in future meetings. Meanwhile, the large stocks held by the cleaners have kept the factories running, and the market in New Y'ork will probably not !>e affected for some tunc to come, if at all. The factofy men say that rather than do business under the old method they will close up their factories.” A retail dealer who was located in Chatham street yesterday was asked whether the trouble in Norfolk had affected the retail trade here. “Maka no diff’raut,” said the Count. “Tree cent, fiva cent, ten cent. Alla fr-r-resh bake.” W AS SHE HIS YVIFE? The Death of a Wealthy Jerseyman Ex poses a Family Skeleton. The Traphagan family, of Jersey City, says the New Y'ork World of the 18th iust., is among the oldest and most wide ly known it the city. Its members are wealthy, and one of them now living was once Mayor. Some years ago Cornelius Traphagan died, leaving a valuable estate to his two sons, Cornelius N. and Henry Traphagan, and his daughter, Mrs. Ann P. Hilliard. Corqelina after fixing up the estate, removed to New York and toon up his residence with a yopng wernan at No. 12!) West Twenty-ninth street. She is de scribed as being about 30 years of age, of medium height, with brovn eyes and fair complexion. The courla have been living together at the place iidicated for the past few tears, The door-plate bore tbe name “Brown,” and in the neighbor hood the young woman was known as Miss Minnie Brown. On numerous oc casions, however, it is said she had been introduced by Mr. Traphagan as his wife, and on various hotel registers the two hatl been recorded as mail aud wife. Mr. Traphagan’s conduct in this respect had estranged him from his family, and tjueh was the feeling manifested that dur ing his recent fatal illness his sister de clined to visit him. On February 20 Mr. Traphagan died of consumption ’ On the following day a caveat was filed by e.x- Mayor Traphagan in the Surrogate’s of fice prohibiting the probating of any paper purporting to be the will of the deceased, though none bad been offered. The Aineral of the deceased took place on Paturday, March 1, but Mrs. Hilliard and other relatives declined to attend it, and Miss Brown, or Airs. Traphagan, wearing the deepest of widow's weeds, was present as chief mourner. The ltev. Dr. l’armley, of Jersey City, conducted the services. Air. Traphagan owned real estate worth about SIOO,OOO, and great anxiety was manifested to know to whom the property had been willed. About a week qfter the funeral Miss Brown, accompanied by ex- Senator Paxton, her counsel; ex-Mayor Traphagan, representing Henry Trapha gan,brother of deceased, and Mrs. Hil liard, met in Jersey City, and, it is said, adjusted the matter to prevent the case be ing made public in the courts. Efforts to as certain the exact sum paid Miss Brown for relinquishing all claims against the es tate were not successful, all the par ties to the transaction being pledged to se cresy, but it is generally understood that she received SIO,OOO. The receipts for the money were, it is said, signed in the name ot “Minnie Brown.” FOR WEARING THE GREEN. Uiss Surali Dooley Walks Proudly Out of a raterson Mill on St. Patrick** Day. There was much excitement among the Irish residents of Paterson on Wednesday, says th#New York Sun of the 20th inst., by the publication of the fact that one of the girls employed in the Barbour flax mill had been discharged for wearing a green ribbon in her hair on St. Patrick’s Day. The story created the more surprise because the Barbour Brothers are Irish men, and one of them, Thomas, is a mem ber of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick. On the morning of St. Patrick’s Day a number of the girls engaged in the de partment under the management of Fore man John Walker, wore green ribbons in their hair. Mr. Walker ordered them to remove the ribbons. Some complied, but others refused. Then Mr. Walker told them that all who failed to remove the ribbons would be discharged. A1? com plied with the order under this threat ex cept Miss Sarah Dooley. She said if she couldn’t wear Ireland’s green ribbon in the mill she would go where she could wear it. Mr. Walker then discharged her. Three others, Miss Maggie Butler, Miss Mary McKeown, and Miss Nora Menton, were so indignant that they re adjusted the green ribbons in their hair and walked proudly out of the mill by her side. Miss McKeown and Miss Butler return ed to work on the following day, but Miss Menton remains out yet, and says she will not go back until Miss Dooley is re instated. Mr. Walker says that he discharged Miss Dooley for refusing to obey his or der. He did not care anything about the ribbon, but he wanted to be obeyed when lie gave an order. The reason he ordered the ribbons to be taken off was that the wearing of some orange ribbons on a for mer occasion had made trouble among the girls, and as there were lots of Eng lish girls In the mill, he was afraid there would be trouble over the wearing of the green. Superintendent Sutherland says he ap proved of the discharge of Miss Dooley, because Mr. Walker reported that it was for creating a disturbance. Had he known that a simple green ribbon was at the bottom of it he would not have ap proved of it. He says Mr. Walker made a mistake in discharging the girl. Piles! Piles!! Plies!!!

A letter from Mitchell, Dak., to the St. Paul Pioneer Press says: “In company with one of the young" Jewish farmers of the Cremieux colony, your correspondent left Mitchell at daybreak for a visit to the Hebrew farming colony, situated about twenty-two miles southwest of Mitchell. They are Hebrews, but claim to have shorn off the traditional practices of their ancestry, while retaining the spirit of the teachings of Moses, which they apply in a practical sense, and adapt themselves to their surroundings. They say that now the time has come when Judea will re deem herself and become a nation of pro ducers Instead of consumers, and they will prove to the world that Hebrews can again be as successful farmers as they have proven to be tradesmen for genera tions past. The ‘Cremieux and Bethle hem-Judah’ colonies, known now as the Cremieux Society, were founded through the advice of Michael Heilprin, a leadin’' Hebrew; ol New Y'ork city, in August, 1882. There arc now about seventy colonists here, but they claim thev are only an advance guard, as it were, of those w ho are coming as soon as the great reservation across the Missouri river is opened up to settlement. Some of these Hebrews already have farms opened up and good farm buildings erected. Mr. Herman Rosenthal has a farm of nearly 1,000 acres, which he is rapidly putting in a high state of cultivation. He lives in a well-finished eight-room house, and has also good tarm buildings. Bernard Flicht has alarm of nearly 500 acres, and has a good house and buildings, and many others are becoming comfortably situated. The greater number of these colonists. however, came to the United States from two to three years ago, with only enough money to pay their passage, and at once engaged in physical labor and commenced to learn the Eng lish language. One of the colonists, 1 Prof. E. S. Mashbir, who this winter is professor of the German language in the Mitchell high school, had engaged as a laborer on a railroad at Mitchell. His vocabulary of the English language was confined to a few words, and his knowl edge of the use of a shovel was even more circumscribed. Aftor.. *.,n uuurs "a* unable to swing his shovel w ith the gang, and the section boss dis charged him with the threat that if he ever showed up there again he would break his head. The professor retired to a shady place and consulted his dictiona ry on the term ‘break his head.’ He se cured farm work, however, has taken a I good claim, and will engage In farm work in the summer season with his mother and sister, who are now on their way from Russia, and a brother who is coming from New Y'ork. I “ A commendable characteristic of these j I?e°i>lo is their patient preseverance, i 1 hey have come to a strange land, where they are unacquainted with the customs and language of the people. Thev work hard, are practical, aud look at facts as they find them. They are saving, and not a dollar is wasted, nor is a cent spent tor drink, and very few incur debts, and then only in case of urgent necessitv. Pome of the colonists are getting a goo’d start in stock, but a number by hard work have not as yet been able to*lay by enough to buy the much-needed ox-teams. I hen- number will be largely increased the coming summer by relations and friends who will come from Russia. The colonists have a private school at the resi dence of Mr. RosenthUl, taught by Miss Burnes, a highly-educated ladv. 'She is paid by subscription, and the school is well attended by the Russian children, who are all learning to speak English flueut ly. They are, as a people, fond of music, reading, and society. Even the lowliest have a good education, and the brawniest has a knowledge pf music. In tne long winter eve Dings, and on days when it is too cold to work, they collect together and P a fs. away the time with music and .ittucmg. and consulting together on matters ot practical business. Parties are frequently held, to which their Ameri can neighbors are always invited and welcomed. There are now a number of Hebrew-Russian farming colonies in the United States, but they” are ail new as yet. The most numerous is that of New Odessa, Ote., founded under the advice of Michael Heilprin, Dr. Julius Goldman, Edward Lauterbach, and Judge Isaacs, all of New Y'ork city. They claim that the time will soon be here vxlhen Hebrew farmers will be no novelty in the United States. The colony, young as it is, and rotwithstanding the fact that nearly all its members have commenced without a dollar, embarrassed by all the inconveni ence of pioneer life, is self-sustaining.’’ A WHOLE FAMILY POISONED. Mr. George Grace, Hi* Wife and Cliildr* n Narrowly Escape Death. Public feeling at Cape May runs high against the 18-year-old son of Air. George Grace, whose arrest is imminent on the charge of having poisoned his father, mother, two sisters and two brother with “Rough on Rats,” says a Cajie May N. J. special of the 18th inst. to the Philadel phia Press. The boy has been a grief to his parents for several years, wild in his habits and ungovernable In temper. The punishment which Mr. Grace adminis tered to him rather hardened than sub dued him. Dr. Downs, the family physi cian, also keeps the village drug store. Several hours before supper time yester day young Grace entered the drug store and said: “I want some arsenic to poi son rats.” “Arsenic is not used nowa days to poison vermin,” replied the doc tor, “but I can give you some ‘Rough on Rats.’ ” The youth’s sullen face fell anil he hesitated, but finally took what was offered to him. About 8 o’clock, Dr. Downs was summoned hastily to the Grace mansion. He found the entire family, except the little daughter Bertha, writhing in agony. Six patients in such an awful condition at first rather para lyzed his energies, but he soon discovered that the sufferers had been poisoned, and, missing the youth to whom lie had sold the rat’s bane’, asked for him. “Oh,” said little Bertha, “it was awful. Pa and ma and the children drank their coffee, and I didn’t take any; all at once ma turned pale and screamed, and pa and the boys jumped up from the table, and I thought they were all going to die.” On being confronted with the suspected young man, Dr. Downs questioned him closely, and received such confused and contradictory replies as corffirmed his already strong suspicions. In the mean time, by the use of antidotes, all the suf ferers, except the youngest child, had been relieved of their cramps and retch ing. The infant is still dangerously if not fatally ill. No cause for this fiendish act is assigned save the idea that by doing away with his family the boy might inherit hi’s father's property. FANNY DAVENPOUT’S LOSS. Shrinking Forty-seven Founds After a Paradise of a Time in Italy. A reporter interviewed Fanny Daven port on the morning of the 19th on the question of her extraordinary victory over superabundant adipose tissue and the tactics by which she accomplished it, says a St. Louis special to the New York World. She said: “How did I reduce my weight? AVell, it is nothing more than hard work and perseverance. 1 have worked as few peo ple can imagine. Friends said I couldn't doit; that I couldn’t give up my sugar and my sweatmeats and my habits. But I did.” “Give me your recipe. Fleshy people would like to know bow to do what you have done.” “Well, you’d be surprised to know my weight when I began and my weight now. When I went to Italy, where I stayed three months with my sister, I weighed 180 pounds. To-day I weigh 133 pounds, I had a paradise of a time, though I work ed hard. I walked twelve miles every day and dieted myself; no candy—that broke my heart; no sugar in anything and nothing with sugar in it; no vegetables of any kind except sliced toma toes and others on which vinegar can be used, and not- a particle of bread. Now I eat only dry toast, a few crackers and a little* meat of some kind. I drink claret and I will have my cup of coffee in the morning, although i ought not to take it. I exercise. That is what has made me what I am. I de termined to do it and I have done it. 1 never felt better in my life. I feel strong and well, equal to any task. I believe that fleshiness is a disease anyhow, and that very fat people are never well.” “Do you think it was absolutely neces sary to the part of Fedora to be slen derer?” “Yes, I do. How would a big, fleshy woman look falling around the stage and throwing herself into gentlemen’s arms ?” YEARNING. Over the west the glory dies away, Faint rose flecks gleaming in ttie darkening And the low sounds that mark the close of day Rise up from wood and upland—rise and die; Soft silence falls o’er meadow, hill and grove, And in the hush I want you, oh, my love. In the gay radiance of the morning hour, In the warm brooding glory of the noon, ft'hen man and nature, in’ their prime of power, ft'ith the day's fullness blend in eager tune, Tiie rush of life forbids the pulse to move. That now, in yearning passion, wants you, ft'ants you to watch the crimson glow and fade. Through the great branches of the broaden ing lime; W ants you to feel the soft, gray, quiet shade, Lap the tired world in blessed eventime; Wants you to whisper: “Come, your power to prove, The gloaming needs its angel; come, my love.” —All the Year Round. QUEER THINGS IX PEOPLE'S EARS. A Young Woman TV ho Was Surprised at tbe Removal of a Button. Xew York Times. “Y'ou would be astonished,” said a skilled aurist in one ol the public eye and ear infirmaries, “at the large number of children who are brought to us in the course of a week to have something re moved from their ears that they have lool ishly stuck in them and have been unable to get out again. I have sometimes dis posed ot ten such cases in an affcruoon, and have pulled almost everything out of the human ear that is possible to get in there —shoe-buttons, pieces of slate pen cil, caudies, and wads of paper. Four times out of five the youngster is old enough to know better; but it is a habit they fall into, the same as biting their nails or scratching their heads. One boy not yet 12 years old is almost a weekly visitor here. ‘Well,’ I said, as I saw him come in as usual yesterday afternoon, ‘what have yoa got in there’this time!'’ ‘Xawthiu’ but a bean,’ he drawled. Oh, yes, I took it out. “But I recently mot with the most re- j markable ease of that kind in 20 years’ j practice. A young woman of 23 ca’iue in j =.o Juaf that 1 could ha nil.- n.axe ner near ! by shouting through a trumpet. After re moving a great quantity of wax from her ears i found something metallic. “ ‘What’s this,’ I said, ‘have you been putting something in your ear?’ “ ‘Oh, dear, no,’ she said, ‘i am not so foolish as that.’ “Imagine her surprise when I pulled out a smooth, round brass button, with quite a large shank to it. ‘This seems to have been in there a great many years,’ I said. To my surprise the young woman crouched iu ttie corner in undisguised terror. “ Alb, doctor,’ she said, ‘what is that awful noise?’ “It was nothing but a wagon rumbling by, but I instantly suw what the trouble was. Her hearing had become normal when I removed that button, and she was frightened and bewildered at the jumble of confusing sounds. The ticking of the clock, chirping of the canary, or dripping of water distressed her, and* the rustle of her own silk dress made her start with fear. I sent one of the assistants home with her in a carriage, and he said that the clatter in the street so distracted her that he was compelled to hold her in her seat. About a week afterward she came in again—” “And wanted that button put back. I suppose,” interrupted the reporter. “Oh. no, she was brimming over with happiness, though for a day or two she was afraid to leave the house. But she told me about that button. ‘“When I was about 8 years old,’ she said, ‘I was sent to a village church in New England with my grandmother. The sermon was always long and tiresome, and 1 used to amuse myself by pulling at the brass buttons on my cloak. One of them came off one Sunday, and I occu- i pied myself for a time with putting it in my ear and shaking it out again. Sud denly I felt it sink away in there and I could not get it out. I was afraid to tell my grandmother at the time, and soon af terward forgot it. At 10 years of age I began to grow deaf and have been get ting worse ever since, but I never once thought of that button until you removed it. ’” “Do grown people,” asked the repor ter, “ever come to you with things in their ears.” “Frequently, but in most cases it is through no fault of their own. I know one man, a butcher, who comes here reg ularly in the summer time to have flies removed from his ears. I have taken out six at one time lor him. However they get there I don’t know. He says they fly in; but thev don’t fly out, I’m sure of that. A mail called me out of bed one night to get a Croton bug out of his ear. Now, a water bug will never back. He must either turn around or go straight ahead. This fellow had crawled into the man’s ear, and, not finding room enough to turn around, went ahead. He was pawing away with his feelers on the drum, causing the poor man fearful agony. Men employed iu tanneries often get a pecu liar-looking worm in their ears, which is no small trouble to remove.” The Thin Man on Marriage. The thin man without the shirt-collar was evidently perturbed in spirit. He elevated his chin, and scratched it with a match; then worked the match for a time in his ear and stared hard at the man with the cold-tea scheme. “Divorce is a queer subject,” at last he said, reflectively. “So it is,” said the cold-tea man. “Got one, or want one?” “I’m not speaking for myself,” replied the other, with native dignity mixed with tobacco juice. “Oil! Sort of feeling for your fellow being?” Without deigning a reply, thecollarle6s mau continued: •*A queer subject. A queer subject, sir. It people can’t live happily together, what do they marry for?” “I chip,” said the cold-tea man. “I tell you what causes most of this divorce business. It’s the bossy nature of women. There’s lots of women in the world duty in life appears to consist in nagging their husband*. They seem to think a marriage license is a per mit to pester the life out of a man. They don’t wait fpr causes for complaint, but get up imaginative ones and enjoy tnem selves with them. They seem to know t y have a man fo I. if he has children of course he does not want to leave them, and if not, they know he cannot help him self, for if he flees their torture he has to give up friends, position, and all else, and go bury himself in some strange commu nity. Y v ou’d naturally think that a woman having got a man in this awful position of helplessness, she’d have some mercy on him. But if she belongs to the complain ing kind she won’t. Not a bit of it. She’ll jump on the poor fellow with both teet and grind her heels into him. There’s only one cure.” “As how?” asked the cold-tea man, deeply interested. “A man should be a wan and assert him self,” replied the thin man with em phasis. “Nature has created him the superior of woman, and he should not al low her to assume a government over him. She is his inferior anil dependent on him, and if necessary for happiness he should make her understandit. How men can be so chicken-hearted as to allow wo men to crush their independence I do not, lor the life of me, understand.” At this moment the front door opened, and from behind the barricade of boxes came a shrill, feminine voice, asking: “Is Mr. Jarfly here? I want him, this mi nit.’ Jarfly, you good for nothing—” “Great Casar! I came near forgetting a very’portant ’gagement ?” hastily ex claimed the thin man, as he made a bolt out the rear door. Arranging ihe Divorce. Buffalo Tjmts. “I should like to get a divorce,” ex claimed a hen-pecked husband, entering a lawyer’s office and addressing the pro prietor. “What grounds?” asked the lawyer, for effect. “Cold feet,” came the response. “Any children?” “Two.” “Have you decided how to dispose of them ?” “Oh, yes; Ave each take one. That’s understood.” “Any property or household effects?” “Yes, but that is all provided for; we have made a division. But there is one thing that is troubling us. You see we have $6,006 in the bank, and we can’t de cide who shall take that.” “Oh, well, don’t let that trouble you,” replied the lawyer, taking a fresh cigar from the desk drawer; “we can readily arrange that.” "A'es. but how?” inquired the stranger, j “I’ll take care of that,” said the disci- | pie of Blackstone. “Six thousand dollars, did you say? Give me your check and I will give you my receipt how.” item I r ULTlffl & ft, 135 BROUGHTON STREET. 01 GRAND OPENING EXHIBITION OF SPRING MILLINERY Will take place on MONDAY, March 31, and TUESDAY, April 1, and will be m;i4e memorable by the most elaborate and exquisite display of the latast Parisian ties in TRIMMED HATS and BONNETS, far surpassing anything ever before show# in this city.
