"Ill NATIONAL JULLADY.
Texas Siftings. v
The office fever is not confined at
all to Texas. Even in the colder re
gion of the North, for instance at
Washington city, it prevails in a mild
form. Yes, even at the national capi
tal, in some isolated cases, men- can
be found who do not require much
urging to accept an office. Some of
the brightest intellects of the nation
—Gen. Grant and Gniteau— have both
had attacks of it. Guitean has been
enrod of bis itch for office, but Grant
is liable to have a relapse at any time.
Bat for the office fever, Guitean might
be alive and well to-day. Conkhng is
all broken oat with it. General Han-
cook had it severely, but has entirely
recoverod, so they say. His Texas
namesake has also boon radically, or
rathor Democratically, cured of the
dread malady. Hancock admitted as
much when the representative of the
Texas Democracy recently implored
him, with tears in their eyes, for
God's sake not to let Gen. Weaver
carry off the party in a bag, as it
were. Governor Boberts, of Texas,
is also a political sufferer from the of
fice fever. Some victims of the great
national malady have it on both sideB
like the mnmps. Davd Davis and
Congressman Jones have had it on
both sides—first on the Democratic
side and then on the Bepnblican side.
Judge Ireland is broken oat beaiiti
fnlly with it, and there are innumera
ble embryo statesmen who are trying
ito catch it. It comes ont beautifully
on Ireland every spring.
Except in some few cases, the effect
of the fevor,’ after the patient has suf
fered a* relapse or so, is incurable.—
Tho disease can be studied to advan
tage in snch men as Grant, Ben But
ler, Colliding, and Bo bets, of Texas,
who, while they excite sympathy, are
nevertheless useful and interesting
subjects on whom to stndy the dis
ease. One of the moBt marked feat
ures of the affliction is the abnormal
development of the bnmp of self-es
teem. The patient, although he baa
likewise u tine development of ear, is
all I. Wh might cite the egotistical
remarks of Conkling, who seems to
think he could temporarily at least,
derange the planetary system. Wit
ness the the nauseating self-conceit of
Grant Bead Governor Roberts’ let
ter about the Galveston Nows, or ono
of his speeches in whioh more eyes
stjok ont than are in a potato.
Tho advanced sufferer from an itch
for office is fall of strange hallucina
tions and wbiuiBical conceits. At ono
time he will imagine the war is still
going ob, and at soldier reunions he
will charge imaginary foos, and get
off the Same old talk he did twenty
years ago. On the Fourth of July the
victim of the office itch confidently
imagines that be is a revolutionary
father. He shivers with cold at Val
ley Forge, captures Hessians, and
with a trumpet smile, receives the
sword <>f the vanquished Lord Corn
wallis. Another very common hallu
cination is for the sufferer to imagine
he is Jefferson or Jackson.
At other times the poor, demented
creature imagines that be is an Afri
can. He intrudes himself into the
negro meeting, and from his speech
yon might imagine he was really one
of them. He speaks of their past suf
fering as if he had really done manu
al labor in a cotton field, and be re
fers to their hopes as if he oxpected
to bo benefited by their realization.
On other occasions, he addresses
land leagues, and talks to the paddies,
until he actually acquires a slight
brogue. We all remember how Gov
ernor Roberts shed tears, at the ban
quet, ivheu Tim Henrly, M. P., was in
Austin, gabbling over the wrongs of
Ireland. *
Or we see I be victims of eariy po
litical indiscretion quaffing the um-
ber-hued lager in a garden, to the
music of a brass band; and on Sun
day, too, being folly persuaded that
their cradles were rocked on the
banks of the Rhine and the Neokar.
The yonng men of the country
should take warning by the- dreadful
examples they see around them, and
refrain from taking too mnch stock in
politics. Let them rather settle down
to journalism, or to some other legit
imate and respectable means of ac
quiring wealth. If, however, they do
catch the infection, if their friendB
treat them for it in time, cure can be
effected. The symptons of incipient
office fever are unmistakable. The
first bad sign is excessive thirst, and
a dread of being left alone, hence he
drags everybody who has a vote into
saloons and talks polities to him. The
mental hallucinations set in from the
start. He raves about imaginary
crowds that are going to vote for him
and his pulse rnns up to 120 in the
shade—of a beer garden. His friends
mnst act promptly. The best method
is to bleed copiously for campaign
expenses, and afterwards put wet
blankets on him by telling him he is
an 088, and he knows it. Let .each
friend borrow five dollars as frequent
ly as possible, to consolidate the vot
ers. That will make him sick at first,
and then he will have lucid intervals
daring which be will express doubts
as to his being the right man for the
position. The bleeding system brings
the patient to his senses, and is also
very beneficial to the candidate’s
friends. They will have all the small
change they need. The money should
never be returned, as it might bring
on a relapse. If taken in time, the
patient will rocover. Gradually the
red dash will fado out of his nose. He
will converse rationally, and laugh
over the idiotic remarks he made while
laboring nnder the delirium of the
disease.
Trick* of the Trade Exponcd.
i. It. Randall’* Washington Letter.
One of the best New York corre
spondents writes his letters from this
city, and never goes near the place he
dates from. A clever Baltimorean
contributes a series of European let
ters to a prominent journal, which
were much better in every way than
nine-tenths of the epistles really writ
ten from abroad. The best lecture
on China and Japan was delivered by
an odd genins who never was within
five thonsand miles of either country.
An Atlanta man once offered to fur
nish California correspondence with
out leaving Georgia. This kind of
ingenuity resembles the method of
Thompson, who never in all bis life
saw the sun rise, and yet described
that phenomenon much better than
anybody else. I once asked a witty
comrade how he accounted for this
success. He answered: "I do not
know, bat it may be that an artificial
sunrise iB better than the original.”

THE INDIAN’S VITIIIK.
WiCke.l Bill Nje.
The question of what is to be the
glorias ultimately of the red man in
America, is one which demands of us,
as a people, serious consideration.—
Will a few denting years extirpate and
exterminate from the face of the earth
a race which has so long filled our
fourth readers and onr school declam
ations with crude oratory, oxist only
as a smoke-tanned, bead-trimmed
momory ? Will the benutiful picture
of tho brunette Indiau maiden at last
become nothing but tho frontespicce
of a time-honored legend and the
trade-mark of fine-cut factory ? Let
ns hope not.
We have crossed the wide ocean
and wrested from these people their
lands, and then, to add insult to inju
ry, we have taught them the mysteries
of our civilization.
With the white man came the doc
trine of vicarious atonement and the
open-back shirt. He brought with
him tho dictionary and the garden
hose, salvation and saleratus. The
tale was soon told, and now on the
vertebra of the continent the tele
phone and the morniiig papers are
crowding the red widower and the
pigeon-toed scion of Powhattan into
the moaning sea. The restless waves
of civilization and soap have crowded
old Rise-up William Riley and his
whole tribe into the black night of
forgetfulness and death. Gradually
he has picked up his household goods
and his wife and upright piano and
stolen toward the couch of dying day.
Now he stands upon the rooky battle
ments that border the new States,
and, bathed in red sunlight and noth
ing else in particular, he shakes hands
with his approaching doom.
Had he taken more kindly to the
batb-tub of the pale-face, and frater
nized more adequately with the crash
towel of the European, his oblivion
would have been loss speedy, and the
block, tom-cat night of eternal sleep
less formerly.
Silent and unrelenting, unmoved
above the broad cemetery of bis peo
ple, stolidly awaiting forgetfulness
and death, we cannot help admiring
the brawny brave with thbundauuted
eye and the bnckakin pants with the
seat ent out. Nature gave to thee,
tbon dusky warrior, strength like the
eagle and swiftness in the chaser, bnt
in her wisdom denied thee the copper
lining that is required to meet and
conquer the vintage of a progressive
age. The mountain lion may meet
thee and yield up his life at thy hands,
but the juice of the centipede, that is
distilled by the paleface and sold to
thee, tangles up thy denodeuam and
cracks the crown-sbeet of thy di
gester.
Brave orator of the schobl book,
grim relie of the days of Pocahontas,
we watch with tear-dimmed eyeB thy
closing hours. Adieu, thou Indian
mother standing on the steep; precip
itous shores of eternity. Behind thee
rest the dead heroes of thy race, and
at thy side the brindle relic of a
mighty tribe of Indian dogs, fatigue
and listless, pets his favorite flea. No
one cun look upon this sad and smoky
gronp unmoved. The fading rem
nants of a glorious petty larceny mob.
Had be adopted the Prince Albert
coat and tho doctriue of a protective
tariff, instead of the ping hat and the
whisky sour, his future might have
been a resplendent one, and his life
less crowded with failure and remorse.
We should learn from this to shun
tbe errors which have basted the glo
rious future of tbo redtnan. Let us
profit by his example and eschew the
flowing bowl. We should also avoid
the exposure of an out-door life. A
constant communion with nature and
wet feet shorten life, and clouds tbe
pathway with gloom and catarrh.
Fall ol a Meteor at Iteil-lfeHt I poll the
Bottom or Kluakciroii Lake.
Chicago Intcr-Oceau.
Vessels arriving in Chicago yester
day report a most retnurUble oceur-
rehce at Muskogon on Friday night.
At midnight there was an awful shock
heard throughout tbe whole city, ac
companied by a bright, sulphuric
light, which illuminated the entire
surroundings. Grows of crufts in the
harbor spruug from their bunks, aud
citizens, terribly alarmed, rushed to
the windows. Many supposed that a
severe thunderstorm bad bnrst upon
them; others thonght that the great
boilers of some of tbe immense mills
had exploded, and not a few attribu
ted tbe deafeuiug report to the first
crash of "the wreck of matter aud the
crash of worlds." When the people,
ventured oat shortly afterwards, how
ever, they beheld one of the most
calm and beautiful moonlight nights
ever witnessed. The only explanation
of tbe mystery is that a great aerolite
fell into Muskegon lake.
The following is from the Muskegon
Chronicle, received in Chicago last
night: “The great mystery is solved
by the statement of persons employed
in and about the mills in the lower
part of the city. They say that a
large ball of fire fell iuto Muskogon
lake, seemingly striking its surface
three or four hundred feet from the
shore. James Fiske ■ felt the shock
perceptibly, and Mr. Archibald Lee
was ‘shaken up' by it; bofchuf these
gentlemen were on ’Western avenue
at the time. Messrs. Frank Johnson,
Levi Beardsley, Charles C. Moulton
and Fred Miller, all of whom lodge
on Western avenue, state that the
baildings' in which they have rooms
were shaken by the explosion. Mr.
Hugh Leonard, the druggist of lower
town,’ who had jnst retired to his
room on Western avenue, states as
follows: ‘I saw the glare, and it seem
ed as though tho entire light was con
centrated in my room. At first it ap
peared as though my window curtains
were wrapt in flames.’ Where the
aerolite struck there was great com
motion, ‘as though a tou of solid sub
stance bad fallon into it Irpm a great
height.’ It is currently believed that
a great meteoric atone tell, and it may
be well for steamers umi sailing ves
sels to be guarded for die present
while passing tho point where the
stone is sapposed to have struck.”
•linrr a Punishment for crime.
New York Suu.
The recent sale of a negro into tem
porary slavery in Kentucky has sur
prised many persons who were not
aware or had forgotten that the Con
stitution of the United States dis
tinctly recognizes the lawfulness of
slavery or involuntary servitude as a
punishment for crime.
“Neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude, except a* a punishment for
crime, whereof the party shall have
been duly convicted, shall exist with
in the United States, or any place
subject to their jurisdiction." So
says tbe thirteenth amendment *
There is nothing in the constitu
tional amendment to prevent a Stato
from making slavery tbe penalty for
very trivial offenses. The fact that
this has) not been more generally at
tempted in the Southern States shows
how the sentiments of tbe people
have grown away from tbe old slave
system. Besides, if a law was passed
imposing slavery as a punishment on
black culprits it wonld have to apply
to White culprits also; and tbo possi
bility of a negro owning a white slave
would seem unpleasant to the ordina
ry legislator.
