THE HOME OF ALL INDIAN DEITIES
IS IN THE BLACK HILLS.
Tlie Great Spirit Sit, Upon the Highest
Mountain, Supposed to Bo Harney’s
l’oak— Ascribe Supernatural Towers to
AVliat They Don't Understand.
T i THE Indian has many deities.
To him everything is
•’Wakan." The mysterious
and unknown is ruled by tho
gods or deities of greater or lesser
‘‘Wakan.” Anything that is super¬
natural, mysterious or superhuman is
“Wakan.”
The Black Hills of South Dakota,
from an Indian point of view, is the all
homo of the gods, from whom
power originates. Tho wind and the
lightning are sent forth from the dark
recesses of the mountains and the
very foundations of the hills are made
to tremble, when the Groat Spirit
gives vent to his anger. The old la-
•dian tradition says that the Great
Spirit sits upon the highest mountain
in the Black Hills, supposed to be
Harney’s Peak, and from this exalt-
-od position, he directs tho move-
rnents of the lesser gods aud his own
people. In his pleasant moods, he
■causes the sun to shine, the grass to
grow and the Indian tribes to be at
peace with one another. In his au-
gry moments, he lets loose tho winds
.and lightning aud tho world is made
dark and the children of the Great
Spirit are punished by famine and
•death. Spirit . .
Many years ago the Great
kept a white mau chained be-
nenth the big mountain, Tho man
-tresspassed upon the chosen hunt¬
ing ground of tho children of the
Great Spirit and he was forthwith
captured and made example of beforo
all other trespassers of tho palefaces.
The' white man was a giant, whose
footprints in the sands were twenty
feet long and be was so powerful in
his right arm that he could break the
buffalo's back and could twist from
its roots the lofty piuo; yet the Great
Spirit ruled him.
FBIMITIVE r.AINMAKER,
The Great Spirit had a good many
lesser deities, who were given power
over animals and things. Oukten
was the god of water. This deity in
outward appearanco resembled an ox,
being much larger. A great part of
the religion of the Indians came from
the wakan influence of this god.
There are both male and female, the
former having control of the water and
the earth beneath the water, and the
latter having an influence over tho
land by tho side of the water. When
the god of water wants rain to fall he
lifts his tail and horns to the clouds
and immediately the rain falls. Onke-
tri assumes an important part in tho
juggling and superstitons beliefs of
the^Indians. The medicino men ob¬
tain their supernatural power from
this source. The god aud goddess
are mortals and cau propogate their
kind. They have power to impart
from their bodies a mighty wakan in¬
fluence.
Cha-o-ter-dah is the god of the for¬
est. His home is at the foot of the
highest mountain and he lives most
of the time in the top of the highest
tree on the mountain-top. His com¬
panions are the birds of the air, who
act as guards and sentinels. When he
wants anything he flies to his perch
in the tree-top; which is as smooth ns
gjpss. He calls together his friends
aud sends them hither and thither.
He is in constant war with the god of
thunder, Wah-keen-yon. When Wah-
Iceeu-you passes over the mountain-
top, casting here and there his bolts
of lightning, Cha-o-ter-dah, the god of
the forest, enters tho water at the foot
of the tree and the lightning cannot
touch him.
To the Indian, Wah-keen-yon is
a mighty bird, and the noise that is
made, which shakes the foundations
of the mountains, is caused by the
big bird flying through the air with
his young ones. The old bird will
not injure the Indians, but tho youug
birds are foolish and do all the harm
they tan. The name Wah-keen-yon
signifies a flyer. There are four
varieties of the gods among the Wali-
lceen-yon. The image of the first one
is that of a great bird, black in color,
■with a very long beak and four joints
iu each pinion. The second variety
is yellow iu color, beakless, and also
has four joints in its pinions. The
fourth god has remarkably long wings,
each of them containing eight joints.
It is scarlet in color. The fourth god
is blue in color, and has no face, eyes
or ears. Immediately above where
Mie face should appear is a semicircu¬
lar line, resembling an inverted half¬
moon. The Wah-keen-yon gods live
on the top of a lofty mountain at the
western end of the earth's surface.
Guards stand at the open doors, which
look out to the four points of the com¬
pass. A butterfly stands at the east
door, a bear at the west door, at the
north door a reindeer, aud a bearer at
the south. The Wah-keen-yon are
destructive and are at war with most
of the other gods. The Indians be¬
lieve that the fossil remains of the
mastodons that are found so fre¬
quently in the bad lands are the bones
of the fallen god of water, and the
burial places are held as most sacred.
When the white man discovered these
remains and, knowing their origin,
commenced excavating them for rare
relics, the Indians resented this in¬
vasion of the burial ground of their
gods.
GOD OF GRASS AND WEEDS.
Whitte-ko-kak-gah is the god of the
grass and weeds. The word, trans¬
lated, means "to make crazy.” The
god is a weed himself and he has the
power of giving whomsoever he will
tits whioh make them crazy. The god
ffas the figure of a man. In bis right
band, he carries a rattle of deer hoofs
with sixty-four deer claws. In his
left band be carries a bow and arrow.
Fiom bis cap streams of lightning
flow, so bright that they dazzle the
wild animals. In his mouth be has n
whistle, which is used in the dance to
invoke the assistance of tho Groat
Spirit when the Indians have had bud
luck in hunting.
We-hun-de-dan is the goddess of
war. She is always invoked when the
Indians go to battle. Sho is repre¬
sented with hoofs on her arms and as
many of these as she throws at the
feet of e^ch warrior indicates the
number of scalps thatwill be returned
to the camp by the warrior. If the
party is to havo poor luck, tho god¬
dess will throw to the ground ns many
broken arrows as there will bo warriors
wouudod and killed.
One of tho greatest and most rever¬
enced gods is Tak-koo-shkan-sbkau,
who is invisible, but all prevading.
He is in tho spear and the tomahawk,
in boulders and in tho four winds, lie
delights to see the warriors fall in bat¬
tle. He is the most dreaded god of
the Indians. He directs tho move¬
ments of the fox, raven, buzzard, wolf
and other animals of similar nature.
HAVE MANY GODS.
The Indians have as many gods and
goddesses as there are imaginative
miuds in the tribe. Anything that is
out of the ordinary or that appeals to
tho imagination is a god.
Contrary to the opinion so gener¬
ally held, the Black Hills were never
the home of the Indians. Influenced
by the ever-present superstition, tbe
Indian tribes held in reverence tho
pine-covered mountains and deep
canyons, believing them to be tho
home of deities. The early pioneers
in the Black Hills found evidence that
the Indians frequently came to the
foot-hills for topeo poles and firewood,
but beyond an imaginary line tbe
tribes rarely ventured. It is not to be
wondered at, perhaps, that the Indians
fought so bravely to retain possession
of the Black Hills. To them the
country was as sacred as the white
man’s heaven. The Indian battles in
tbe ’70s around and in the Black Hills
were battles ot a nation against a for¬
eign people, w’ho sought to dethrone
and destroy a religion. Many of the
Indians of to-day, surrounded as they
are by the civilization of the whites,
still hold in reverehco the lofty peaks
and the deep canyons of the ‘Ta-Ha-
Sap-Pa.”
Legal English In England.
Legal English and tho English of
the plain man were again m conflict
yesterday. It was not “place” this
time, but “bedding.” A distress may
not be levied upon “wearing apparel
and bedding,” and a distress had been
levied upon a bedstead; was that right
or wrong? Iu othor words, is a bed¬
stead bedding? One counsel quoted
Chaucer to show that it was, which is
rather weak, since, as the other said,
so many people slept on shakedowns
on the floor in Chaucer’s day. “The
Absent-Minded Beggar” also was
cited—“they’ll put their sticks and
bedding up tho spout;” but that also
is weak, since “sticks” rather thau
“bedding” probably covers “bed¬
stead.” Tho plain man will agree that
a bedstead is not bedding. But it is
pretty clear that what the law meant
iu this case was “what a man sleeps
on,” which makes a bedstead bedding
and the distress illegal, aud it was so
held. It might be well to invest one’s
wealth in a gorgeous bedstead for
security, much as Indian women in¬
vest theirs in bangles.—Pall Mall
Gazette.

Incredulous as to Its Origin.
A party was being shown over the
British Museum. In one of the rooms
the keeper pointed out a collection of
antique vases, whioh had recently
been dug up at Herculaneum.
“Dug up, sir?” echoed one of the
party. sir.”
“Yes,
“What, out of the ground?"
“Undoubtedly.”
“What, just as they now are?”
“Perhaps some little pains have
been taken in cleaning them, but in
all other respects they were found
just as you see them.”
The wise man turned to one of his
companions, and with an incredulous
shake of his head, whispered:
“He may say what he likes, but he
shall never persuade me that they dug
up ready-made pots out of the ground."

fCopyrlpUt 1U00.1
Wasiiinoton, D. 0.—Tills discourse ol
Dr. Talmuge is an appeal for mercy in be¬
half of oppressed womanhood and offers
encouragement to those struggling for a
livelihood; text, Ecclesiastes, lv., 1. "Be¬
hold the tears of such ns were oppressed,
and they had no comforter.’’
Very loug ngo the noedlo was busy. It
was considered honorable for women to
toll in olden times. Alexander the Great
stood la his palace showing garments made
by Ills own mother. The lluest tapestries Will¬
at liuyeux was made by the queen of
iam the Conqueror. Augustus, the em¬
peror, would not wear any garmonts ex¬
cept those that wore fashioned by some
member ot his royal family. So let tho
toller everywhere bo respected.
Tlie uowdle has slain more than the
sword. When the sowing machine was in¬
vented, some thought that invention would
alleviate woman’s t'oll and put an end to
the despotism of the needle. But no.
While the sewing machine lias been a great
blessing to woll-tc-do families In mnoy
eases It has added to the stab of tho needle
the crush of the wheel, aud multitudes of
women, notwithstanding the ro-enforce-
ment of the sewing machine, can odIv
make, work hard as they will, between S>2
and $3 a week.
The greatest blessing that could have
turned happened to our llrst parents was being done
out of Eden after they had
wrong. might Adam have and Eve, In their perfect work
state, got along without
or only such slight employment as a per¬
fect garden with no weeds in it demandod.
But as soon as they had sinned the best
thing for them was to bo turned out where
they would have to work. We know what
a withering thing it is for thousand a man to have
nothing to do. Of tho prosper¬
ous and honorable men that you know 999
had to work vigorously at the beginning.
But 1 am now to toll you that Industry is
just as Important for a woman’ssafety and
happiness. Tlie most unhappy women in
ourcommunitlos to-day aro those who have
lio engagements to call them up in the
morning; who, once having risen aud
broakfasted, lounge through tlie (lull fore¬
noon in slippers down nt the hoel and with
disheveled hair, reading the last novel,
and who, having dragged through a
wretched forenoon and taken their after¬
noon sleep and having pick passed an hour card- and
a half at their toilet, up their
case aud go out to make calls, aud who
pass their evenings wqitlug for somebody
to come in and break up the monotony.
Arabella Stuart never was imprisoned in
so dark a dungeon ns that.
There is no happiness in an idle woman.
It may he with hand, it may be with brain,
it may be with foot, but work sho must or
be wretched forever. Tho little girls of
our families must be started with that
idoa. Tho curse of American society is
that our young women are taught that the
first, second, third, fouith, fifth, sixth,
seventh, tenth, fiftieth, thousandth thiug
in their life is to get somebody to take care
of them. Instead of that the first lesson
should ho how under God thoy may take
care of themselves. Tlie simple fact is
that a majority of them do havo to take
care of themselves, and that, too, after hav¬
ing through the fulse notions of their par¬
ents wasted tho years In which they ought
to have learned how successfully to main¬
tain themselves. Wo now aud here declare
the inhumanity, cruelty and outrage of
that father and mother who pass their
daughiers into womanhood, having given
them no laculty lor earning their liveli¬
hood,
Mme. de Stael said, "It tg not these
writings I that I am proud of, hut the lnct
that havo facility in ton occupations, in
any one ot which I could make a liveli¬
hood.’’ You say you have a fortune to
leave them. Oh, mau and womuo, have
you not learned that, like vultures, llko
hawks, llko eagles, riches should have bo wlugs aud
fiy away? Though you success¬
ful in leaving a competency behind you,
the trickery ot executors niuy swamp It iu

your orphans to put their money into a

machinery tbe sunken money cannot be
brought up again prove to them that it
was eternally decreed that that was
the way they were to lose it and that
it went in the most orthodox and heav¬
enly style. Oh, the damnable schemes that
professed Christians will engage in until
God puts His fingers Into the collar of the
hypocrito’s robe and strips it clear down
to tho bottom! You have no right, because
you are well off, to conclude that your chil¬
dren are going to be well off. A man died
leaving a large fortune. His sou fell dead
In a Philadelphia grogshop. His bent old oom-
rades came in and said as they over
his corpse, "What Is the matter with you,
Boggsy?” The surgeon standing over him
said: "Hush yel He is tleud!” "Oh, he is
deadl” they said. “Come, boys; let us go
and take a drink In memory of poor
Boggsyl” Havo you nothing better than
money to leave your children? If you huve
not, but send your daughters into the
world with empty brain aud unskilled
hand, you are guilty of assassination,
homicide, Infanticide.
There are women tolling fa our cities for
£2 or *3 a week who were the daughters of
merchant princes. These suffering ones
now would he glad to have the crumbs
that once fell from their father’s table.
That worn out broken shoe that she wears
is the lineal descendant of the $ 12 gaiter In
which her mother walked and that torn
and faded calico had ancestery of magnifi¬
cent brocade that swept Pennsylvania without av¬
enue and Broadway clean any ex¬
pense toa.be street commissioners. Though
you live in an elogant residence and fare
sumptuously everyday, let your (laughters
feel it Is a disgrace for them not to know
how to work. I denounce the idea prev¬
alent In society that, though our youug
women may embroider slippers and crochet
and make mats for lamps to stand on with¬
out disgrace, the Idea of doing anything
for a livelihood Is dishonorable. It Is a
shame for a young woman belonging to a
large family to be inefficient when her
father tolls his life away for her support.
It is a shame for a daughter to be idle
while her mother tolls at the wnshtub. It Is
as honorable to sweep house, make beds or
trim hats as it is to twist a watch chain.
So far as I can understand the line ot re¬
spectability lies between that which Is use¬
ful and that which Is useless. If women
do that which is of no value, their work is
honorable. It they do practical work, It is
dishonorable. That our young women
muy escape the oensuro of doing dishonor¬
able work I shall particularize. You may
knit a tidy for the back of an arm-chair,
but by no means make the money where¬
with to buy the chair. You may with a
delicate brush beautify a mantel orna¬
ment, but die rather than earn enough to
buy a marble mantel. You may iearn
artistic music until “OrtonvIUe” you can squall "Old Italian, Hun¬
bnt never sing or
dredth.” Do nothing refined practical If you
would In the eyes of society pre¬
serve your respectability. I goout these
finical notions. I tell you a woman, no
more than a man, hag a right to occupy n
place la this world unless she pays a rent
tor It.
In the course of a lifetime you consume
whole harvests and droves of cattle and
every day you live breathe forty hogheads
of good, pure air. You must by some kind
of usefulness pay for all this. Our race
was the last thing created—the birds aud
fishes on tbe fourth day tbe cattle and
lizards on the fifth day nod man on the
sixth day. It geologists are right, the
earth was a million of years In the posses¬
sion of the Insects, beasts and birds before
our race camo upon It. Iu one sense we
were Invaders. The cattle, the lizards and
the lmwks had preemption right. The
quostiou is not what wo aro to do with the
Brairds aud summer luseuts, hut what the
lizards and summer iuseets aro to do with
us. If wo want a place In this world, we
must earn It. The partridgo makes Its
own nest before It occupies it. The ils
lark by Us morning song earns
breakfast before it oats It, and tho
Bible gives an Intimation that tho first
duty ot an idler is to starve wbon it
says, “If he will not work, neither
shall ho eat.” Idleness ruins the health,
and vory soon nnturo says: “This man has
refused to pay his rent. Out with him!”

ject ot woman’s Hu. A vast majority of

If Miss Mitchell will study astronomy, let

Lucretla Mott will preach the gospel, let

It Is said if woman Is given such oppor¬

skill and adaptednoss her have for any position She has than
atnan has, let her broad, it. her apparel as
muah right to to is

said that her nature Is so delicate that she
Is unfitted for exhausting toil. I ask in the
name of all past history what toll on enrth
Is more severe, exhausting and tremen¬
dous than that toll ot tlie needle to which,
for ages she has been subjected? The bat¬
tering ram, the sword, the carbine, the
hattleax, have made no such havoc as the
nesdlo. I would that these living sepul¬
chres In which women have for ages been
buried might be opened and that some re¬
surrection trumpet might bring up these
living corpses in the fresh air and sunlight.
Go with me, and I will show you a wom¬
an who by hardest toil supports her chil¬
dren, her drunken husband, her old father
and mother, pays her house rent, always
has wholesome food on her tuble and when
she can get some neighbor on the Sabbath
to come in and take care of her family ap¬

are far from indicating the toll to which

by her hour of anguish, I demand that no

Oh, the meanness, the desplcabtllty ot mea

I go still further and say that woman
should have equal compensation with men.
Bv what principle of justice is it that
women in many of our citios get oniy two-
thirds as much pay as men and in many
cases only half? Here is the gigantic injus¬
tice—that for work equally well if not better
done woman receives far less compensa¬
tion than mun. Start with tho National

ton get $900 lor doing that for which

ployers know It, Is there a God? Will
there be a judgment? I tell you if God
