IoOYE AMONG THE PEACHES.
A True Incident, in Which May be
Found a Pleasing Kc petit ion of the
Old, Old Story.
Several years ago, says the Wilming
ton. Delaware, Xetes, a gentleman living
in this city bought a farm near Wyo
ming, on the Delaware Railroad, just be
low Dover. He removed thither with his
wife and only child, a daughter now
about 20 years of age, a bright and ac
complished girl. To vary the monotony
of her simple rustic life she taught music
in the surrounding neighborhood. With
the enjoyments of her pleasant country
home she seemed contented until six
months ago, when the whole course of
her life underwent a change. A young
man dressed like a laborer, but showing
evidences of a more refined nature than
his external appearance indicated, ap
plied for and obtained work from the
heroine’s father. He was a well-built,
pleasant looking fellow,although not hand-'
some, and wore a bright auburn beard. A
mutual affection sjirang up l>etween the
daughter of the household and the new
band. A sharp watch was kept on the
maiden, but nothing occurred to arouse
suspicion until about two weeks ago,
when matters were rapidly brought to a
crisis. In one of her usual rounds among
her pupils the girl’s mother was unavoid
ably absent. Her lovef took advantage
of the opportunity, proposed, was ac
cepted, and the twain went to the nearest
minister, where they were made one.
They returned later in the evening, con
fessed, and the newly-made wife pleaded
forgiveness. Iler father became very
wroth at her undutiful act, and vowed
that the consequences would be on her
own hend. This was the night of the
great storm of June 23. The ireful father,
after venting bis wrath on his daughter
ami her husband, ejected them, with a
few articles belonging to them, from his
home, and told them never to return. The
young wife, liorne down with sorrow,
turned in despair to her husband, and the
latter proved himself to be the true hero,
as the sequel will show.
Possessed of a little money they went to
her uncle’s house, where they stopped for
the night. The next morning, without
any further parley with the indignant
father-in-law, they’went North on the
first train, and did not stop until they
reached Albany, in New York State. To
the astonishment of his wife he here
disclosed bis true position—the son of
very wealthy parents, and himself pos
sessed of a competence in his owu name.
He had fled from home for some folly, but
his parents received their new daughter
in-law with open arms. A letter of ex
planation was sent to her parents at
Wyoming, who were overjoyed at their
daughter’s good fortune.
DEAD GENTLY WITH SLEEPERS.
People utao Take Their Rest in the
Parks of Gotham.
X?w York Timet.
“Why don’t you let them sleep?” asked
a reporter of a" policeman in Washington
Square, who was busily engaged in wak
ing up the tired individuals asleep on the
benches one warm afternoon. He was an
expert in the method of rousing the un
conscious specimens of humanity. First,
there was given a little tap of the club
on the side of the leg. If this did not pro
duce the desired effect it was followed with
a sharp rap on the knee-pan. If the victim
still sojourned in the Land of Nod, the
officer brought his club upward with a
vicious wrist movement, the end of the
walnut striking the sleeper in the elbow.
••The crazy-bone ’ll fetch ’em every time,”
he observed. “Why don’t I let’em sleep?”
said the gray-coated six-footer; “cause it’s
agin orders. I’d be glad enough to let ’em
sleep, poor devils; and I don’t see why
they shouldn’t sleep daytimes instead o’
nights. But it’s none o’ mv affair, and I
make it as easy for ’em as l’can. 1 never
have any trouble at all. I just say,
•Come, my man, it’s agin the rules to
sleep here,’ and they get up and walk
down to another seat, where they fall
asleep agin. Some of ’em. I believe, don’t
wake up at all, but just walk along in
their sleep out o’ habit. They’re a rum
lot. but they don’t get no ill usage from
mo.”
And with this the big officer with a big
heart began another tour of his beat,
prodding and poking here and there,
wherever a sleeper was found, and rous
ing many who were really picturesque in
their raggedness only that they might fall
asleep again.
VIRGINIA VIGILANTKS.
Edmund** Story of Hl* Adventure With
Masked Men at Midnight.
William F.. Edmunds, aged 35, a mar
ried man and farmer, living near Harper’s
Home, L'inwiddie count}', twenty-five or
thirty miles from here, says a Petersburg,
Va., special of June 9to the Philadelphia
I‘rrss, came to this city and told a pitiful
tale. He said that some weeks ago his
sister Mattie, a young lady living at his
house, and who is slightly erratic, went
into the woods determined to spend the
night mere. Edmunds and his wife found
her and endeavored to persuade her to re
turn home. She positively refused and
Edmunds declares that they had to use
some force to get her home.
In the struggle incident to these efforts
the girl, he says, sustained some bruises.
Ever since she has protested to the neigh
bors that her brother had brutally beaten
her. Monday, about midnight, a crowd of
masked men came to his house, and, with
much shouting, awakened him from his
sleep. He came to the door, was seized
by a dozen men and hurried to a conve
nient tree, where he was tied up by his
hands. His shirt was then stripped off
and blow upon blow dealt him, until his
back was one mass of bleeding flesh. His
cries brought his father to the scene, and
he pleaded with the mob for his son’s de
liverance, but it was in vain. After their
victim had well-nigh fainted the masked
men departed, and Edmunds was released
by his father. His wife meanwhile had
fled with her children to a neighbor’s
house.
How Jonei Made His Money.
PitUbury Lttttr.
Mr. B. F. Jones owes his fortune to his
shrewdness in taking advantage of an
accident. About thirty years ago, when
the rolling-mill of his firm, then Jones &
Lautb, could have stood on Fifth avenue
without obstructing the pavement on
either side, one of the workmen got his
heavy tongs, weighing about fifty pounds,
fast to a bar of hot iron. The bar was
already in the jaws of the rapidly-whirling
rolls. There was no time to release the
tongs and they went through the rolls
under i>onderous pressure. Instead of
being crushed and broken, they came out
at the other side flattened out of shape, of
no more use as tongs, but a bar of iron of
a high nolish and changed texture.
The firm made no fuss about it, but had
a quiet consultation among themselves.
They set to work analyzing and experi
menting. The result was that instead of
a discharge the workman who let the
tongs go through cold got a bonus of $20,-
000, and instead of the little one-horse
rolling-mill the present immense plant
was constructed. It is valued at $7,000,000.
It makes the cold rolled iron under an
exclusive patent at an immense profit,
and the long head of the lucky firm, who
was made Chairman of the Republi
can National Committee, is a millionaire
about ten times over. At the time the
tongs got fast he kept the books and his
partner looked after the mill. Mr. Lauth
retired from the firm some years ago, and
when the patent on the cold-rolled process
was reissued received SIOO,OOO from the
new firm for his share of it.

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JULY 13, 1884.
CUT UP, YET ALIVE.
Muscle* and Heart* Alive Hours After
Being Cut from the Body.
Boehm Journal.
“These mind curers, I see,” said an
eminent university professor, “declare
that there is no life in any portion of the
body, or at least that the vital, all-power
ful motive power of man exists somewhere
else than in his material self. Well, I
think there are a great manv others as
ignorant as they are of the rea'l scientific
meaning of life.”
As the professor uttered these words he
glanced up from the table where he was
at work, and laying down the scalpel ;
among the other instruments which
adorned his well-equipped laboratory,
turned his bright, piercing eyes toward !
his companion. The latter. Knowing full
well the reputation which the prolessor
has as a deep student and learned physi- j
ologist, asked him to express more defi
nitely his meaning. Like a true Y'ankee.
the modem sage responded with a ques
tion:
“What is the ordinary Christian belief
of life?” he asked.
“Why, that life means the existence of
a soul,” was the reply.
“Yes, but we say it means more than
that; it is a material condition existing
in the different organs of the body. You
saw in the papers what Dr. Robert
Hughes, the eminent Englishman, re
cently said to tbe homu opathists of Bos
ton—that ‘growth by assimilation and
reproduction of kind’ are the two pro
cesses characteristic of lifts’ that is ap
proaching near the truth. But he did not
then state, what is perfectly true, that
the organs of the body can be kept alive
even after the body has been cut up. Do
you know what the earliest beliets of life
were?”
“No, I cannot say I do.”
“The savages believed that there was a
certain definite vital spark in a man and
that when he died he breathed out, in his
last breath, that spark. Even to-day most
people seem to have almost the same be
lief; they say when any one dies that he
expires (ex-piro)—i. e., breathes out.
The majority of people believe that there
is a definite something—an invisible, ex
traneous force in the body which makes
it alive, and that when that something
disappears life disappears with it.”
“But they don’t hold that opinion of
some animals, the worm for instance.
Any gardener will say that if you divide
a worm in two with a spade the'two parts
will live as separate worms.”
“Exactly. That's just where their
practice seems to disagree with their the
ory. You ask him how it is possible to
cut the vital principle in two and he can’t
answer you. Speaking of dividing the
worm, however, reminds me of other ani
mals which have been similarly treated
and have lived. In 1740 a well-known
abbe recorded in his memoirs that he had
taken fresh water polyps, cut them Into
three or four pieces and each piece had
lived. Goss, the English naturalist, had
a cave, the sides of which were covered
with sea-anemone. The attraction brought
so many visitors to his grounds that he
resolved to destroy it. Accordingly he
had the cave carefully scraped; but from
the residue which unavoidably remained,
as many sea-anemone as before • repro
duced themselves. You see, then, that
one of two things is true: either the life
principle of an animal can be divided or
else there must be a number of vitalities
in such animals, all independent ot each
other.”
“That may all be true of these lower
auimals, hut—”
“But, you think the higher animals
have a life principle which can’t he di
vided, is that it? Now let me show you
how our spade, science, will cut up ani
mals, as the gardener does the worm,”
and the professor darkened the room,
turned up the lights of his stereopticon,
and then taking the muscle of a frog,
which had been previously cut out,showed
on the large white screen’ the muscles in
action just as they are when in the body.
“Why,” he exclaimed, noting with a
smile ot pleasure his companion’s sur
prised look, “this muscle could easily he
kept alive ten or twelve hours, even
twenty hours, if blood could be kept flow
ing through it in large quantities. lam
! sorry to say though,” and the enthusiastic
scientist heaved a sad little sigh, “we’ve
never been able yet to keep the muscles
alive indefinitely. I have kept li r e in the
heart of a frog ior forty-eighr hours, and
I’ll show you a live heart of a turtle which
was cut out some time ago.”
The heart was shown, still keeping up
its beating, shortening and thickening
itself as regularly and as perfectly as if
in the body. As long as fresh blood was
supplied the heart lived.
“Professor,” queried his companion,
“why could not the human body be kept
alive artificially by meausof a continuous
supply ol fresh blood ?”
“Why not, indeed?” responded the ex
perimenter; “but, you understand, we do
not pretend that this is the soul life; it is
only the real, 6cientmc life. But why.
indeed, after the soul has fled, could not
a body be kept alive, performing all its
functions, only without a moral guiding
power? That is a question for time to
determine. Life really consists in its
spontaneity, its ability to move and to
nourish itself when fed, and its being af
fected by external objects, such as a prick
or a shock. If the heart, cut out, exhib
its all these functions, ought we not to say
that it is alive ? Modern physiology de
clares that a living body can be separated
into as many living parts as there are
ojgans. Even the tissues, in some cases,
that make up these organs, particles one
two-thousandtlis of an inch in diameter,
show all the symptoms of a living body.
I will tell you,’ my friend, just what we
mean when we say anything is alive. As
far as we know, ail matter which exhibits
life will break up into constituents, each
having a fundamental vital condition.
Everything that lives and moves contains
protoplasm, and this protoplasm has the
power of building up its own substance
from other materials. This is life. Any
thing which is selt-renewing is alive.
Anything which cannot do that is dead.
Such, at least, is the scientific and real
definition of life, though it may not l>e the
metaphysical one.”
HONEST UNCLE JAKE.
Presented with a Plug of Tobacco by a
Highly Virtuous Grocer.
JTe to York Sun.
“Speakin’ of honesty, sail,” said an old
darkey in a Third avenue grocery store,
“I’se an hones’ man; everybody knows
I’se hones’, an’ everybody will tole
yer so.”
“Yes, Uncle Jake, I guess you are hon
est enough,” replied the grocer, “and in
these days it’s a credit to a man to be
honest.”
“’Deed’tis,’deed ’tis, sab. Dar’s mighty
few ob ’em in dis worl’. Hones’ men is
berry skase, dey is.”
Here the grocer turned to throw a scoop
ful of sand into the sugar barrel, and
Uncle Jake snatched a plug of tobacco
from the eoimter and put it in his pocket.
“The old saying that ‘honesty is the
best policy,’ ” went on the grocer, mixing
the sand and sugar carefully, “I don’t
believe in. It is not the proper way to
put it. With me honesty is not a matter
of policy, it is matter of honor, and—
where is’that plug of tobacco that was on
the counter a moment ago?” the grocer
suddenly demanded.
“Yes. sah, as 1 was savin’, ” continued
Uncle Jake, ignoring the’question, “dar’s
berry few hones’ men in dis worl’. "Ease
yer see—”
“That plug of tobacco, Uncle Jake,”
interrupted the grocer. “You’ve got it in
vour pocket.”
“Sah?”
“I say you have got that plug of tobac
co in your pocket.”
“Deed I hasn’t, sah. Is yer sho’ da’ wuz
er plug of terbaker on decountah? P’raps
it'falled off to de flo.”
While the grocer was looking on the
floor, the old darkey adroitly slipped
the tobacco behind a soap box on the
counter.
“Did yer find it on de flo, sah ?”
“No, 1 did not. Uncle Jake. You stole
that plug of tobacco, and you’ve got to
show up.”
a po’ old man,” Uncle Jake re
plied, in a heartbroken tone of voice, “an’
has lien po’ all my life, but I don’ steal,
sah. Ef my ole woman wuz to beah dat
1 had ben obseused of stealin’ it wud
broke her down to de grave.”
Just then the grocer discovered the
tobacco, and ai*ologized with great con
trition.
“I must have shoved it there without
knowing it; but, I beg your pardon, Uncle
Jake, for my suspicions, and to make the
matter right, just put the tobacco in
your pocket, and we’ll say no more about
it.” ,
“Yo’ opolergies ’cepted, sah,” said the
old darkey, cordially, “but I don’ know,
sah, ’bout puttin’ dater plug in my pock
et. ’Pears ter me it’s like settin’ a prejn
vum on honestv. But as I tole yer, sah,
i’se a po’ ole man, an’ terbaker is skase

A PROFESSIONAL LOVER.
Particular* of a New Busine** That a
DndUh Young Fellow Follow*.
St. Louit Po*t-l>lpatch.
“Do you see that man ?” said a hotel
clerk to a St. Louis Post-Dispatch re
porter, as a handsome stranger, with the
form of an Apollo and the easy air of a
polished gentleman, entered the lobby
and strolled down the marble floor, as if
to show his lithe limbs. “That man has
a history,” continued the clerk, “and I
think is engaged in h business or profes
sion, or whatever you may call it, that is
not followed by another man on top of the
ground. His occupation is known to only
a few, and I am confident I am the only
person In St. Louis who knows anything
about bis work. I started him in his
present career to oblige a triend, but
never thought the deed I caused him to
do would lead him to depend upon such
actions lor a living, aud \**>rk them into a
line of genteel labor as remunerative as it
is unique and secret.”
“Is he a professional murderer?” asked
the reporter, with bulging eves.
“No.”
“Is he a professional buralar?”
“No.”
“Forger? Swindler? Sharper?”
“None of these. You might guess until
you were gray and you wouldn’t hit it. He
is nothimr iuoreor less than a professional
lover. Oh, you needn’t look disiru6ted at
the revelation, as the proceeds of his busi
ness might be envied by a bank president,
and some of his single "rewards would not
look small beside the fees of many a great
lawyer. I will tell you his history:
“One night, some years ago. a rich mer
chant from an interior city, who knew me
well, called at the desk, and taking me to
one side, in great distress of mindconfided
to me that his accomplished and beautiful
daughter—one of my schoolmates, by the
way—was determined to throw herself
away upon a worthless young idler of her
town, and that all efforts of parents and
friends had proven futile to turn her from
her foolish course. The father seemed to
be almost beside himself as he spoke, and
I knew that if the affair ripened into an
elopement or marriage his happiness
would be shattered forever. Realizing
that the only way f?> save the family’s
peace and the young lady’s prospects was
to present a counter attraction and ‘cut
out’ the young lover, who was more in
fatuated with her father’s bank account
than with her, I broached the solution of
the painful problem to him, but he be
came indignant at onqg, and said he would
never consent to having his daughter’s
affections thus trifled with. After per
suading him it would be tor the best, I
suggested the man yonder as just fitted to
carry out the part ofa pseudo lover. He was
comparatively young, was a born society
man, was a fine conversationist, and but
for an hereditary laziness would not have
found himsclt without friends and playing
Micawber. The old gentleman was chary
at first, fearing that his daughter might
transfer her heart as warmly to the substi
tute as it was fixed upon her first choice. 1
explained that a paid lover could he easily
got out of the way before a second entan
glement would occur, and that all that
was needed was simply to distract his
daughter’s attention enough to have her
go to Europe without any canker at her
heart.
“Finally the father consented. The
young man—his expenses defrayed by the
paternal co-conspirator—appeared upon
the scene in a few days as a rich tourist,
and at once began his’preconcerted llirta
tiou, being introduced in the best society
by the recognition accorded him by the
girl’s father. His elegant ways soon made
him popular, and it was not long until
he was the favored one around the young
lady, who viewed with complacency the
projected Europern tour. The real lover
heard of her departure with an aching
heart, hut the other smiled as he saw his
pay drawing near.
“The lady crossed the ocean heart free,
returned in a year, married an estimable
gentleman in every way suited to her, and
is living happily.
“This new experience of my young
friend, whose walk through life must be a
saunter Of ease, was so amusing and pe-
I culiarly pleasing that he kept watch for
an opportunity, and in a fortnight was
| engaged in a similar case in a Southern
| city. In this instance the lady’s affection
i was deeply rooted, and it was only after
four months’ assiduous wooing, during
! which time numerous bills for carriages
and opera, and social etceteras, had been
freely paid by pa: that the obnoxious
suiter was gently displaced and her heart
placed in such a condition that it fell a
prey to the seige of a worthy claimant,
who honors her and makes her happy in
his pleasant home. This last affair was
managed so neatly, without any violent
severing of the heart strings, that the de
lighted aucestor paid young $5,000.
Since then he has been engaged in several
such endeavors to maintain the felicity of
a household, and to-morrow leaves for the
East, where he says he is under contract
to deliver the daughter of a millionaire
trom an entanglement with a coachman.
‘•Yes,” said the clerk, as he checked the
last arrival, “the old love making comes
pretty natural, but this paid business re
quires a mighty rare combination of a
tender eye and a strong heart.”
VICTOR HUGO.
The Cincinnati Kioters Apotheosized
by the Great Frenchman.
“Three rajs are emanating from the
ideal: the true, the great, and the beauti
ful. Jerusalem - gave to the world truth,
Athens beauty, and Rome greatness.
These cities have vanished from the earth,
bilt they continue to live in Paris. Paris
is the sum of those three—the logarithm
of three civilizations expressed in one
formula.” The aliove words I uttered a
decade ago, and I repeat them to-day.
New municipal growths have sprung up
in the old world, but they can claim only
a temporary significance in the cosmic
panorama. Berlin is a geographical ac
cident without a national basis: Vienna,
the illegitimate offspring of an ill-matched
ethnological union; London is the
monstrous embodiment of a brutal utili
tarianism; but Paris—is a historical ne
cessity.
While the old world wasted its energy
in burying cadavers of a petrified past,
the new world arose, Venus Anadyomene
like, from the crystal waves of the west
ern ocean. Asia is the chrysalis under
the roots of a tree dreaming in the semi
conscious state of a two thousand years
lethargy; Europe, the caterpillar near
sightedly crawling about the bark in the
habitual’grooves of a fettered existence;
America is the uncliarmed insect soaring
about the crown of the tree In full liberty
and living the true life of an uncondition
al development.
Anew world with the boldest historical
possibilities needed anew centre of civi
lization. Karl Bitter, in one of the few
happy moments in which the German
mind intuitively grasped a high scientific
truth, said that all cradles of culture are
inland cities. Hence, New York, Boston
and Philadelphia could not aspire to the
honor: neither the calcareous receptacle
of humanity on the banks of the Missis
sippi, nor the municipal fungus growth
on the Lake Michigan. The high vocation
was reserved for Losantiville, tbe city of
the Cincinnati. Here the fair daughters
of the Mnemosyne have formed a noble
home; here earth ceased to be a puritan
vale of tears. The goddess of joy
touched the lips of the mortals with the
myrtle branch, aud Attic hilarity began
to purify the heavy atmosphere of soeial
life. The genius of art is worshiped in
glorious temples, and Cincinnati might
proudly assume the name ot “Paris
of America.” But her indisputable
claims to that distinction rest upon the
events of March 20, 1884.
The new world is concentrated to liber
ty, but a gigantic monster holds the vir
gin Columbia with the iron grasp of a
hundred arms—the monopoly of the money
aristocracy, the monopoly of a subserv
ient press.* the monopoly of legal piracy.
The Paris of the old world annihilated
the bastile; the Paris of the new world
destroyed the court house. The 14th of
July, 1799, directed the infuriated masses
against the bulwark of hereditary des
potism; the 30th of March, 1884. dashed
the waves ol public indignation against
the stronghold of legal corruption. The
noble citizens of that day, who rated jus
tice higher than law, wrote in letters of
lurid flames the Mene, Teckel, Upharsin
upon the walls of the desecrated temple
of justice. The rioters of Cincinnati in
augurated the era of a glorious revolu
tion. They were champions of justice;
they were more than champions, they
were heroes; they were more than heroes,
they were men. The world says so.
France says so, I say so.

PROGRESS AMONG REDSKINS.
Sitting Bull Found Hoeing on a Farm
and Sioux Brave* Running Many Mill*.
In the annual report of "VY. H. H:
Llewellyn, agent for the Mesealero Apache
Indians, says a Washington letter to the
New York Sun, there is a reference to
some curious customs. “It is a fixed law
with them,” he says, “that tbe mother-in
law and son-in-law never visit each other,
and never see each other except when it
cannot possibly be avoided. I am not
prepared to say whether this is a step in
the direction of civilization or not.
“They are firm believers in witchcraft.
Shortly after my first coming among them
these people burned au old woman who
was accused of practising the black art;
but I did not learn of it until last spring.
“In May last great preparations were
made to burn another witch. I visited
their camp with the agency physician and
told them how they would be held respon
sible if their intentions were carried out.
Up to the present time they have refrained
from committing this terrible crime.
Many people will doubtless be shocked,
but when we reflect that these Indians
are but a little more than a ceDtury be
hind our Puritan forefathers we should
not regard the custom which she savages
still retain as so strange after all.”
James McLaughlin, the agent at Stand
ing Rock, Dakota, in his report, knocks
out a good deal of the popular romance
about Sitting Bull. McLaughlin says he
is “an Indian of very mediocre ability,
rather dull, and much the inferior of Gaul
and others of his lieutenants in intelli
gence. I cannot understand how he held
such 6way over and controlled men so
much nis superior in every respect, unless
it was by his obstinacy and stubborn
tenacity.’ He is pompous, vain, and
boastful, and considers himself a very
important person; but as he has been
pampered and lionized so much by the
whites since the battle of the Little Big
Horn, 1 do not wonder that he has an in
flated opinion of himself.”
Describing Sitting Bull’s attempt at
farming, Agent McLaughlin says that he
finally convinced the old man that his
war record would give him no standing at
the agency, but that the Great Father re
cognized as the Big Chief the most indus
trious Indian and the one who did the
most good and set the best example
among his people. Then Sitting Bull, who
is ambitious, decided to go to work, and,
taking a hoe, began to help some of the
other Indians plant corn. “I visited him
in the field,” reports Agent McLaughlin,
“and he seemed pleased that I found him
laboring, and in reply to my question
whether he found farming so difficult he
answered ‘no.’ I think he has now de
termined to become a farmer#”
Mr. McGillycuddy, the agent of the
Sioux at Pine Ridge, Dakota, says:
“What earthly inducement or reason can
be advanced why an Indian should go to
work and earn his own living by the sweat
of his brow when an indulgent government
furnishes him with more than he wants to
eat and clothes hint!
“Select 8,000 whites of the pauper class,
or send 8,000 of the assisted emigrants to
this reservation, feed them as you do
these Indians, and they would hold a cau
cus and vote to nssasfuate the first one
of their number who became self-support
ing.
“What we require are less supplies and
more skilled labor and employes. What
can I do as an agent in teaching 8,000 In
dians agriculture with only one fanner ?
It is simply a burlesque. Our Indians
are scattered along five creeks over 100
miles. There should be at least five farm
ers. The same is true of all the other em
ployes. One blacksmith is all we have,
one’ wheelwright and one carjaenter for
8,000 Indians, and yet we are told that
the Indians must be instructed how to be
come self-supporting.
“When I assumed charge of this agency
in 179 the entire duty of the agent was
to act as a sort of national pobrmaster
and deal out rations. Since then the In
dians have begun farming, erected 025
houses, engaged 500 wagons in freighting,
built 135 miles of telegraph line, raised
1,500 head of cattle, employed 40 mowing
machines in putting up hay, kept a saw,
shingle, planing and corn mill going, and
advanced in every respect in civilization,
thereby necessitating an increased force
of skilled white employes and instructors,
and yet we are limited to SIO,OOO to pay
them all. Without change in legislation
and system in appropriating the funds
for these Indians; without a change, giv
ing them less food and more instruction,
they will not become self-supporting until
the’ angel Gabriel sounds his call, and
these poor heathens awake in the dim and
uncertain hereafter, when, subsisting
upon a light diet of air, there will be no
necessity for the self-supporting scheme.”
A FLOYVER-BEI) CLOCK.
A Bloom for Every Hour of tlie Twenty-
Four.
Tho Judge’s house was over in the
French quarter of New Orleans, unat
tractive outside, says the Cincinnati En
quirer, but as soon as you got into the
broad hall a cool bfeeze struck you,laden,
without exaggeration, with the balm of a
thousand flowers. The hall led right
through the house and opened into a reg
ular lairylaud of flowers—a garden the
like of which 1 had never dreamed of. It
was surrounded by a high wall and had
plants in it from every country under the
suu. The white-haired old gentleman and
a group of grandchildren hanging about
him took us about, and the first thing we
stopped at was a large oval plot set out
with small plants around the edge.
“This,” said the Judge, “is my clock.
What time is it, Clara?” he asked of one
of the children. The girl ran arouud the
plot and said it was about 4 o’clock, and
so it was. The four o’clock was iu bloom.
“In fact,” said the story-teller, “the clock
was made up of flowers.” Iu the centre
was a pair of hands, of wood, covered
with some beautiful vine; but they had
nothing, however, to do with the time
telling.
The plan was this: Tbe Judge had no
ticed that almost every hour in the day
some plant bloomed, aud working on this
principle he had selected plants of differ
ent hours and placed in a circle, twenty
four tn number, one for every hour. For
example, at the top of the earthen clock,
at 12 o’clock, was planted the portulacca,
and he told me that it would bloom within
ten minutes of 12, and rarely miss. At the
hours of 1, 2 and 3 he had different varie
ties of this same plant, ali of which
bloomed at the hour opposite to which it
was planted. At 4 o’clock he had our
common plant of that name, and you all
know how you can depend on that. At 5
o’clock the garden nictago came out, at 6
the geranium triste, and at 7 the evening
primrose. Opposite 8 o’clock he had the
bona nox, and at 9 the silene noctifiora—
all these blooming at or near the time
given. At 10 o’clock, if I remember
rightly, he had a cactus, at 11 another
kind, and at 12 the night-blooming cereus.
Half of the year some of the plants don’t
bloom at all. ’The plants opposite 1 and 2
in the morning were cacti that bloomed
about that time, and at 3 was planted the
common salsify, at 4 thechickory, at 5 the
sow thistle, and at 6 the dandelion—a rare
flower in New Orleans, curiously enough—
and at 7 was a small pond of water in
which bloomed the pond-lily.
He Remembered the Date.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
A rather curious incident occurred
lately at the Recorder’s office. An old,
white-haired darky, leaning on a cane,
pokedJKs head in the door of the marriage
and taking off his hat,
said:
“Scuse me, boss, but I’se looking for de
place whar dey git a license to marry.”
“Come in, then,” replied the clerk,
“you’ve struck it the first time.”
’“Come on hvar, chillen,” the old man
said, beckoning to someone on the out
side. “These ’ere two wants to git mar
ried, boss, and I caine ’long wid ’em kase
this gal ain’t got no father nor mother
’ceptin’ me.”
“How old is she?” asked the clerk.
“She’s berry nigh 19.”
“Where's her father?”
“Dead, boss.”
“And her mother?”
“Dead, too.”
“How do you know she is 19? She
looks younger.”
“How’d i know ? I know, kase I brung
her up.”
“When was she born ?”
“Now, lemme see; her father died befo’
de war, and she was born just after Marst’
Lincoln was shot.”
“Why, that was four years after her
father’s death 1”
“I know it; dat’s right, boss, she was
born four years after her father died.”
“Ob, that can’t be!”
“But I tell you, boss, I know it. Her
mother war livin’ with my folks at de
time, and it war just four years after her
old man died.”
The clerk was stumped, so he called up
Recorder Farrellv to know what he should
do* The old darkey failed to be shaken in
his statement, aud as it was certain that
she had a lather at some time, the license
, was granted, and the three sailed out to
I find a preacher.
