FOR 24 INDIANJUAIDENS. fjj-s, Thomas Francis Measrher Stands Sponsor at Their Confirmation. A letter from the Flathead Indian reser vation, Northwestern Montana, to the New york World aays: I came here to see the modernized red man, transformed by civil izing influences from tho warlike savage of the forest to the peaceable tiller of the soil. The American Indian, though still proud of hi, paint and feathers, his prismatic blank ets and vari-colored strings of heads, is fast robing himself in the habiliments of the whit,; man, and soon the curling smoke that ri-vs from the cone-shaiied wigwams along the banks of the mountain streams will ascend from the mantel-breasted chimneys w here the red man, no longer untutored and ignorant, shall sit around the winter’s hearth and read to his children the legends of his forefathers in the long ago. Or may hap the young brave, from whose breast the savage instinct of old shall have been extir pated by the pleasures of the mind, shall recount by public acclaim the historic scenes through which his people passed, and tho dawn of faith ana Christ-anity among them. Is the picture romantic or improb able t I saw it yesterday through the lens o; thought, as 1 beheld the copper-hued young Indians declaim with grace and spirit unravel mathematical problems that to me were full of gordian knots, and breathe Into sounding brass tho spirit-stirring crea tions of our patriotic national composers. Yesterday from far and wide over the great Northwestern reservation the Indians came in flies and bauds to celebrate the feast of St. Ignatius, which, sinoe the adveut of the mission fathers more than thirty years ago, has been observed with pomp and cere mony, roasting and reunion. The mission proper is twenty miles from the home of Maj. Ronan, tho Indian agent, nnd thither we started on the morning of the 30th. The ride over was through tho most picturesque canons and valley's of the Rooky Mountains, along the banks of the Jocko river, which was bridgeless, and the treacherous currents of which were forded if our bronchos with difficulty, Towards the end of our journey we mounted the winding, rocky ascent, of a huge gorge, and after following a rolling country for a few miles, again mounted a great, large hill, and there before us, straight across a lieautiful valley that, steep-descending, stretched lie neatli our feet, we saw the white cluster of buildings, with the stars and stripes un furled overhead. Long rows of trees and shrubbery stretched out on either side, and in the background McDonald’s Peaks rose, Titan-like, above the surrounding ranges. It, was high noon, yet the gray mists of the morning still hung heavily over the moun tains. We could see the evidences of busy preparation and the moving figures of the swarthy natives flitting to and fro, as the arrival of some new party of Indians be tokened the reunion of warrior friends. Our own arrival produced no discernible impression, the lounging Indians being wrapped seemingly in their own contempla tions. We put up at the house of Mr. Alexander Demers, the p>ost-trader, and during the evening paid our respects to the missionary fathers and to the Bishop of Montana, who came over to administer the sacrament of confirmation to the Indian children. Here was the scene of some of the fearless mid untiring labors of the great Father de Smet, whose salutary teachings among the tribes of the Northwest, and whose unquenchable devotion to the amelio ration of the Indian’s savage state are held in deathless veneration among all English reading people. The entire settlement was astir when the earliest gleams of the sun played upon the tinseled crown of the flag-staff, and by 0 o’clock the church, which held upward of 800 people, was filled to the doorstep with kneeling postulants, praying aloud in a kind of chatter peculiar to the Kalispel dia lect, and which, to the indevour, must have lieen car-racking. The prayers finally' ceased in unison and the celebration of the mass began. The altar was as tastefully decorated with flowers and plants as any of the altars of the East, and the music by the choir of young Indian maidens was rendered w ith precision and melody. The sermon was delivered in English by Bishop Brondel; and below the dais on which he stood, one of the fathers listened attentively, and, at the end of every ninth and tenth sentence, the Bishop paused to allow the interpreter to translate his utterances. At the conclu sion of the mass sixteen boys and twenty four gilds were confirmed by the Bishop. Mrs. Gen. Thomas Francis Meagher, the relict of the lamented Irish patriot and sister of Mrs. S. L. M. Barlow, of New York, who is traveling through Montana and who was present, stood sponsor for the twenty-four young girls. The maidens were dressed becomingly in white and wore crowns of flowers and white veils. *ln the afternoon, the closing exercises of the school took place and were full of inter est. A brass hand, consisting of seventeen nieces, none of the performers being over 16 years of age, played appr<ipriate select i, ms during the exercises, anil the entire school, without exception, acquitted themselves admirably. Comparing their ages with those of white children, they comported themselves most creditably. The valedic tory was delivered by a bright girl of Id or 13 and was well rendered. Maj. Ronan, who has been among these Indians for many y'ears, tells me that several of them are worth snug fortunes, and enumerated two or three whom ho consid ered worth $20,000 each in horses and cattle. The reservation comprises within its limits 1,300,000 acres of the choicest land in Mon tana. The Indians have a police and judi cial system of their own. The judiciary consists nt three of the Indian chiefs. At the St.. Ignatius Mission there is a printing establishment, where tho young Indian kji's are taught to set the type and •were considerable printing is <lone. I have seen a dictionary of the Kalisjiel language arranged in English, which was printed hy tne boys, and numerous pamphlets and tracts which have also emanated from their labors. Hero at the agency, near the borders of the reservation, in nearly every Indian home the squaws can be seen operating sewing machines, while the husband is engaged on the tillable por tions of the farm with mo were of the latest improved design. At the Mission, too the Indian youth is taughtto do Carpenter work, !*se tiie farm implements and skill himself in other useful occupations. Altogether, tile confederated trilies on the Northwest reservations may now be considered a do mesticated and progressive people. A VISIT TO OUIDA. A Romance Which Make tho Novelist the Victim in a Love Story. A letter from Florence, Italy, to the Philadelphia iVr.s.s says: Madam: as one of tlir thousands of Americans who road your work.-, nnd admire your genius, I am ex tremely desirous of calling and paying iny b • poets. .May I not hopio that you will permit sue this pleasure! ” ith great respect, I am very truly Jours, M. To Madame de la Rome, Villa raniiola, via di ISciuidioci. This note, together with a letter of the American Consul, I sent by post to “Ouida," tin- noted novelist, who live* in the suburbs ol Florence, two miles without the gate of Ban Krediauo. “Of course.” said nn acquaintance of mine to whom I showed a copy of the noto —an American lady, hut having married a Florentine, for many years a resident of rlorenco—• ‘of course she will see you. She is very vain. Ouida would sec anybody who wrote her like this—her ‘works and Renin*,’ of course—but what is this f getting down to tiie address, “ ‘Madame do lu Rumor that settles it,” and my friend laid down the letter and looked ut me as much as to say, “how could you have been so un wise r “Betties it; Settles what?” I queried. “.Settles it that you will never see Ouida. You have touched her upon her most sensi tive point. ‘Madame,’ why she will never Pardon such an oversight.” “But is she not a madam? Is sho not *■! tied?" “Certainly not. Bit down, though, and I will tell you all about it.” An interview at first, hand is Better than one at second liana; hut one at second hand is Better than uoue at all. Several days had elapsed and fb ftre hud come no reply from Ouida. Mould it not be well to hear what my friend had to say! I thought so. “Yon say she is not married,” I said. “I have heard that she married the Marquis de la Rome. Is not that true!” “Not a bit of it. The nearest that Ouida ever came to getting married was right here in Florence several years ago. I was living here at the time and remember the senstv tion created as if it were yesteriiay. There was an Italian nobleman who had been paying her some attentions which she took to be serious. Ouida may have talent, but she certainly has no beauty. She is pain fully homely, nnd moreover, even at the time of which I am now speaking, she was long past the mcridiaji of life. The Marquis was aware of these things, and he made the mistake of imagining Ouida was aware of them also. Hi- thought this and did not believe that Ouida would take his words seriously. Sho did take his words seriously, however, and made every preparation for marrying, having the trousseau prepared and the other neccessary arrangements made. Then came the catastrophe, a scene that would form an admirable chapter in one of her dramatic novels. Did you think I was in earnest V asked the Marquis when pushed to the wall—” “Was not that a rather brutal way of putting it?” I interrupted. Ouida’s revenge. “What else could he do? He had not dreamed that she took the matter seriously; her actions now showed him his mistake, and lie was compelled to confess ho had been ‘trifling’ with her affections. After the first explosion, Ouida set about devising a way to he revenged. She bought a villa adjoining that of the Marquis, and provid ing a pistol kept it on her hall table, it is said, with the intention of shooting her delinquent lover the first time he passed. Wheth or, when tho decisive moment came she relented, or whether no decisive moment came, the Marquis prudently re maining away, I can not say, but at all eveqts there was no shooting and no more sensation that year. Florence, however, had not heard the last of it, for the next year her novel, ‘A Winter City,’ was pub lished and everybody knew that was tho man~.Gr in which she meant to revenge herself on the way Florence, or at least one of the Florentines, had treated her. The characters in ‘A Winter City’ are portraits of Florentines, easily recognized, and, I need scarcely add, not very flattering or pleasing to the originals.” “Are her books much read in Italy!” “No. not all of them. ‘A Winter City’ and ‘Ariadne’ have been translated into Italian, and are read to considerable extent, at least in Florenoe. Ido not know that any other of her novels are translated into Italian. There may be others, but we do not see much of them here.” “Is Ouida much of a society woman ?” “Well, I can hardly say,” said my friend, with a peculiar smile. “Men are fond of her society. She is intellectual, but very peculiar, and especially since hor ‘Winter City’ society here has not been any too cordial in its treatment of her.” HER DOGS AND DECODLKTTE DRESSES. “She lives now quite alone, surrounded hy her dogs, and with one old lady as her solo companion. Ouida is now somewhere about 60 years of age, and her solitary mode of life is beginning to tell on her. There are many peculiarities—eccentricities I might call them —such as wearing bright colored decoilette dresses with her hair flowing loose, like a girl of 10 instead of a woman of 60.” The same afternoon on which this con versation occurred I took a stroll through the Porta Ban Frediano and along the via di Seandicci as far as the Villa Farinola. There, nestled on the side of a hill, almost hidden from view by the thick green foliage of the surrounding gardens, lives the woman whose books are so widely read, so widely admired and so widely— condemned. In what dozen books can he found as much pessimism, as much cold, unjust undervaluation of human nature as is found in her "Princess Naprax ine!” “Ouida’s philosophy?” said my friend— “lt is detestable. Ouida does not believe in mankind: no, she believes in—dogs!” That she believes in dogs is certain, for her villa is full of them, and from t heir ap jiearance they must receive no small amount of affection and care. From the hill near Ouida’s villa a splendid view of Florence and the surrounding country is to Vie had. Indeed, the excellence of the scenery in this neighborhood is only equaled by the ex cellence of the arrangements for viewing it. On every side of Florence there are lovely heights overlooking the city, and in the city itself is an enormously high tower, from the lofty summit of which one can look down on the streets and houses and men beneath as on some picture or panor ama. A STRANGE CASE. A Cataleptic Recovering From a Seven-Months’ Trance. Joliet illi.) Special to Olohe-Democrat. The case of Mrs. John Herliert, a eatn loptic of seven months’ standing, in this place, and which has been noted from time to time, has come to be tho most noted case on record. For five months Mrs. Herbert lay in a trance perfectly helpless, eating nothing hut liquid food, which was forced down tne throat, never opening tho eyes or apparently moving a muscle. Her case attracted the attention of Dr. Romain J. Curtiss, Surgeon-in-General of St. Joseph’s Hospital, who had her removed to the institution over which he presides. Ho began a treatment of •electric baths, and the sleeping cataleptic steadily gained in flesh and strength, but not mentally. She had been reduced to almost a skeleton. The correstiondont visited her to-day at the hospital, and found her slowly improv ing. She rises up, sits down, and walks oViedient to the will of Dr. Curtiss, but her eyeis remain closed, and sho does not utter a word. She is like a silent gho3t. While Dr. Curtiss was experimenting with her, and compelling her, like an automaton, to obey his will, iie gave the following state ment, illustrating it with the patient. Dr. Curtiss said: "The patient is certainly one of the most notable cataleptic* history records. She is improving uniter treatment: here. Her con dition, however, is still cataleptic. She lias gained strength, and walks about, going whichever way she is led. When walking a slight pull or touch on her clothing or pr son will turn hor course. She walks auto matically when told to walk, and sits down when told to do so, or when directed by pulling on her clothing. The cataleptic is evidently a mind-reader of the most excel lent type, for she follows her leader with great skill. The touch of a feather on her check or clothing or person, and even un conscious inclinations on the part of the people around her, will alter her course when she is walking.” During the past week the cataleptic has Begun to show signs of intelligence in her volition. She has Been detected opening her eyes and taking a sly look around her. and has Been seen to smile at a good story. She also manifests an aversion to her dose of cod liver oil, and when the oil is brought near she turns away with an expression of disgust. When the cataleptic was taken to the hospital h was so emaciated that her death was dally cxiected, but, under skill l ui treatment,‘she has gained so that her re covery is now hoped for. A Terrible Fire Arouses the apprehension* of a whole city. And yet the wild havoc of disease startles no one. Sad to relate, women suffer from year to year with chronic diseases and weakness peculiar to their sex, know ing that they are growing woise every day, and still take no measures for their own re lief. Dr. Piej-cc’s "Favorite Prescription” is the result of life-Jong and learned study of female complaints. It is guaranteed to cure. THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. Al GUST 17, 1887. COMANCHE PETE’S CONVERSION. A Religious Exhorter Now But He Used to Shoot at the Drop of a Kat. Las Vega* Letter in Kansas City Times. Something of a sensation lias fieen caused lately in Now Mexico cowboy society hythe sudden and complete conversion of Co manche Pete, one of tho erstwhile wildest, wickedest, cussedest one of them all. He was known as a “holy terror,” would shoot “at the drop of a hat” and had the capacity of a distillery for ardent spirit*. He is a changed man now and spends his time laboring among tne cow boys, endeavoring to turn them from their evil ways. He quit drinking, hut takes “no bluff” from the rougher ele ment which sometimes endeavors to drown his voice while he is exhorting. He tolls them that if they want some pistol play he is “willin’, and fellers, you know I generally kills my meat.” He is another Sum Jones in embryo, has all of the Western dialect, and uses as illustrations such thing only as his hearers are familiar with. Hts talk re cently in Billie & Joe’s saioon may not have lieen strictly orthodox, but it was impres sive nnd effective also. “Fellers, you are mavericks now; there is no brand on you yet. Your mothers and sisters and mabba fathers belonged to God’s outfit, but you strayed away before the spring rounu-up commenced at home. You became a maverick, and every outfit has men out after you to catch and mark you. God’s outfit has hundreds of men limiting you, an’ so has old tnan devil. God’s major domos are kind, good men, who will take you to a green range, with plenty of pure, cool water, an’ you’d totter git liis brand on you right off. You’re dead safe with that outfit, but. you musn’t monkey along nib bling at all the green grass you happen to see along the trail of life. 6ld man devil will rope and brand you ef you do and then when the final round-up comes and they cut out all brands hut their own you will find yoursefs browsing around on tho short burnt ranges of hell. You remember, fel lers, that dandy green trail that led down to the Pinevetas, and how Bill Archer fed his hord ulong there, thinking greeu grass and shade trees and good water was all along. You know how they got down into that canyon and struck only sand and alkali, and how, before they could get out, a sand storm struck them and killed mast of the outfit. Well, that’s the way exactly the trail is that leads to the ranges of Lucifer’s outfit. A good many of you are on that trail now. and you’d bettor turn off on a side trail. ‘ The devil’s brand ing pens are built, the brand ing irons are hot, and you can’t save your selfs nor turn back if you ever get your heads in the chutes that lead to the brand ing pen. You’ll be alkalied, and sand stormed, and stampeded through the canyons, and mountains, and pits of hell, and the heel-fly, and screw-worms, and blacklegs will torment you as long as time lasts. You’U be quarantined forever against entering the pastures of heaven, and will be held just outside sometimes,-so you can just look over and see wfiiat you lost hy being too broncho to allow white herders to ropo and brand you.” His talk affects his hearers because it is evidently sincere and because of its qualnt ness and strictly “rangish” character. He may do much good. Who knows just what instrument God may choose to invite estrays back to the fold? He certainly has a wide range to work over and he will find number less “mavericks” therein. Dom Pedro and Victor Huge. From the London Globe. The Emperor is no stranger to Paris, hav ing been here several times before. The last occasion was in 1877. During his pres ent stay he has several times called to see M. Georges and Mile. Jeanne Hugo, who were introduced to him ten years ago when they wero children, on the" occasion of a visit to their illustrious grandfather. Of this visit M. Gustave Rivet gives a very pretty account which, I believe, has never before been published. Victor Hugo, as is well knowoi, would of late yearß never con descend to go and see anybody who desired an interview with him, no matter how exalted or distinguished the personage night be. To the last he regarded himself as the greatest luminary of the century, to whom it was fitting that all should do hom age. Consequently there was a difficulty in arranging a meeting between him and his imperial admirer. Ultimately, it, was set tled that Victor Hugo should await the Em peror of Brazil at a certain hour on May 17 in the Senate .House at Ve ’saille*. Owing, ho wevor, to the famous McMahon crisis of May 16 the appointment had to be broken. Determined not to he balked the Emperor then mode up his mind to call ot the poet’s house, and Victor Hugo agreed to receive him, pro vided lie would come without any suite or attendants, at 9 o’clock on tho morning of May 22. Here is M. Gustave Rivet’s report of the meeting: On slinking hands with our great poet the Emperor addressed him in words which should he recorded in history. He Raid: “Monsieur Victor Hugo, you must put me at my ease, I feel a little timid." Victor Hugo then led the Emperor into the drawing-room, and hade him sit at his side o i tho sola, at w hich the Empen r remarked that to lie in such a position was like sitting on a throne. The conversation was then begun, in tho course of which the Emperor showed him self the friend of enlightenment and prog ress. Speaking of the other sovereigns of the time, he said to Victor Hugo: “You must not be too severe on my colleagues; they are so surrounded, circumvented and deceived that they cannot have our ideas." Victor Hugo replied: “You are an ex ception * * fortunately.” Victor Hugo had just published “L’Art D’Etre Grand-pere.” After having ex pressed his admiration of this to the poet and recited several lines, Dom Pedro re quested the favor of an introduction to MHo. Jeanne. Victor Hugo then called in his grand children. “Jeanne,” said the poet, “I present you to tho Emperor of Brazil.” “Will you give ma a kiss, MademoiselleF’ said Dom Pedro. At first Jeanne raised her forehead for the Emperor to kiss, hut on his asking hor to embrace him, ended with throwing her arms round his neck with such vigor that Victor Hugo burst out laughing and said: “Why, you want to enjoy the luxury of strangling an Emperor.” Victor Hugo then presented his grandson, Georges. As tho Emperor stroked hiR long block liair he said: “My boy, there is but one majesty here—-your grandfather." Victor Hugo then presented the Emperor with a copy of “L’Art D’etre Grand-iiere,” flint writing in it “To Dom Pedro de Alcan tnrn from Victor Hugo.” On the conversation being resumed tho Emperor said: “You are often in my thoughts. I constantly ask myself, ‘What is Victor Hugo doing just now!’ I should like to know how you spend the entire dnv!” Tho poet then gave all tho details of his daily life, beginning with his 6 o’clock ris ing. “After dejeuner ,” he said, “toward 1 o’clock, Igo out and do what you would not like to do. 1 got on the omnibus. ’’ “Why not?” replied tho Emperor. “Surely that would suit mo exactly, to ride on the imperial*!” On Victor Hugo inquiring whether Dom Pedro did not feel anxious at being absent so long from bis dominions the Emperor re plied : “No; things go on quite w-01l while lam away. There are so many tl, >as good and better than I am.” Ho added; “I am not losing my time here. I reign over a young nation, and 1 use my rights for their en lightenment, improvement and progress. But I did not menu to use the word ‘rights.’ I mean the power I owe to the chances of fortune and of birth." Victor Hugo rejoined: “Sire, yon are a great citizen. You are the descendant of Marco* Aurelius!” After the in tar view had lasted three hours the Emperor took hi* leave, accept ing an invitation to dine with the poet a fsw days Inter CHEAP ADVERTISING.

Not only has the improved ma chinery of the artisan and the pencil of the artist been called into requi sition to produce Alliambrie effects, but the most beautiful of woods nro now employed. The old dark rose wood, while beautiful, will show dust, linger marks and the slightest scratch prominently and its polish is never of long duration. Hut with the curled French walnut, cherry, mahogany, light rosewood and satin wood, the polish is much innro durable, and certainly gives the room a much more cheerful aspect than the dark ami gloomy cases. The grain of the fancy woixls, which we have mentioned is simply beautiful under the mirror-like polish which is given a piano ease, and hut few purchasers will tukn the old style ease if they have an opportunity of seeing the later and far more beautiful styles. We are running the Fancy Wood Cases extensively this season, having in stock even at this early date a superb line in French Walnut, Mahogany, Cherry, Oak and Light Rosewood. Call and spend a pleasant hour in our Cool and Airy Piano Warorooms, testing and admiring the Magnificent Instruments there displayed.
