A Tale of Everyday Life.
THE SECOND.
Years had glided by. Mr. Capel was en
tertaining a large .party of influential friends
and connections to dinner that night, m or
der to celebrate the advent -.f tiie New
Year and the coming of age to lys eldest
son, handsome, winning Maurice Capel.
How proudly he alluded to his hoy as the
prop of his old aye when Maurice's health
was drank in the rare wines brought up
from the cellar for that purpose ; and how
his heart swelled, and his eyes glistened,
as he looked around the table from hi-s
stately wife to the pretty daughter who had
just come out ; from the merry, romping
schol-hoys, who sat on either side of mam
ma for this nijht only, and then rested
where their glances had just fallen on the
well-shaped head of his heir ! Marice vexed
him Eometimes lie was heedless and ex
travagant ; but these were merely the faults
of his age, and could be overlooked if he
would but conquer that foolish passion for
his penniless cousin, Hetta a fancy that
was all very well while her father held high
office in India, and could dower her well ;
but must not bo encouarged now he was no
more, and the girl a mere dependent in the
house.
But where was Hetta, the pretty child,
who had given her all to outcast Len ? She
sat in her aunt's boudoir alone.- Mrs. Capel
had advised her to nurse herself for a slight
cold, and Hetta had understood that the
wish was a command, and she was not to
appear at the banquet. It was a trial to
her to obey, for she was youns and fair, and
had looked forward as hopefully as her more
fortunate cousins to the dance that was to
follow the dinner. But Aunt Capel had so
willed it ; and a little sadly she sat over the
lire, sometimes listening to the merry voices
below, sometimes dreaming of Maurice, till
the entrance of a servant arouse I her.
" vv'hat's to be done, Miss Hetta ; here a
young man demands an interview with mas
ter, ami refusing to go away until he has
seen him? .Mr. Cape! would be so angry if
he were called from his guest3 without suffi
cient cause, that I don't know what to do."
The footman a mere lad, mortally afraid
of his stern employer -looked so perplexed
that Hetta, who was dearly loved iu the
house for her thoughtful kindnes3, took pity
on him.
" Perhaps this stranger's business is im
portant. Are you sure he said it could not
be deterred till to-morrow ?
"Quite, miss; and he speaks so resolute
there's no gainsaying him. He says he
must and will see Mr. Capel before he leaves
the house."
" Bring him in here. Walter, and I will
speak with him. It would be a folly to dis
turb my uncle unless it really cannot be
avoided. Perhaps I may sutcecd where you
have failed, and induce thi3 very obstinate
person to call again."
VV alter hesitated. '
" Please, mi33, 1 don't think he's quite
the sort of a man you'd like to have any
thing to do with. He isn't a gentleman
he's dressed in velveteens,"
" J hen it 13 sfme poor fellow m distress,
and Hetta sighed, for she knew that Mr.
( ape! s ch;.rity only took one form. He
would give largely to ehari table institutions,
knowing that his name would appear in the
list of donors ; but those who privately be
sought his aid rarely obtained it.
Hetta folt for her purse ; there were on
ly a few shillings in it. .While her father
was alive, and she receive 1 a handsome al
lowance through his agents, her uncle had
been wont to load her with presents ; now,
he rarely remembered her.
Let the poor man come up, Walter.
I can pity and advise if I can do no more."
The next minute, a tall, s'.iin, but well
made young fellow, stood beforo her the
half-starved Len of earlier-days, transformed
by better health and usage into a man,
shrewd, self-possesed, and, despite his hum
ble dress, capable of great tilings, and
speaking like one who has read much and
well.
Slowly his glance traveled around the
.111,1 tVior, Ytia Vfnix.u mmmMm oa fiirrolv'
that Hetta felt haif afraid, and laid her
hand on the bell. Ho had paused beside n
table, on which lay, amongst other elegant
trifles, a costly Japanese fan. Almost un
consciously he picked it up. The price of
this toy would have s;.ved the life of his
mother ; and, in bitterness of spirit, he
threw it from him with such force that it
fell on the floor and broke.
But when his eyes fell on the young Jady,
and he saw that his vio'.onca astonished and
terrified her, he grew calm again. He re
membered that sweet, child-like face; it had
haunted his visions at St. Bonaventures',
when he was delerious with pain, and more
than once 6ince then he had hovered near
the house to catch a glimpse of it.
The color returned to Hetta's cheek when
he apologised for his rudenes, and frankly
asked if she might be entrusted with his
reasons for insisting on an interview with
her uncle.
" I am Leonard Capel !" he startled her
by asserting "the only son ot hrs brother
Robert."
" But Mr. Capel ha3 no brother living ! "
said Hetta, as soon as she could command
her voice. ' ' The one he had my own dear
father was killed in an outbreak of the na
tives in a remote district of India some three
years since.
" Pardon me, young lady ; Mr. Capel
once had two brothers ; but I know why
von are ignorant of this. The name of
Robert Capel was never spoken in this
house, for his relatives considered that he
disgraced them wlyn he married the gover
ness of his sisters ; and so he died unforgiv
en in that obsure country town to which he
had retreated. His widow, after vainly
gtrutrtdinc to support herself and ber child.
appealed to his family for help, and was
insulted with a refusal to believe that she
had ever been legally married to her dead
husband. Gathering together the proofs of
her union, she traveled to London, slowly
and on foot, to seek an interview with the
father of Robert Capel, and your grandfa
ther, and prove to him that the assertion
was a slander. But he was dead ; his son
ruled in his stead. One look at hi3 stern
face told her that there was nothing to be
hoped for at his hands ; and, after wrestling
for her child's sake, with poverty and sick
ness till wearied out, she died."
" This is a sad tale indeed ! " murmured
Hetta, tearfully. "And her son why has
he not told it sooner ? "
" Ignorant of the value of the papers in
his mother's possession, and robbed of them
as soon as she was no more, he was a poor,
ill-used waif, until curiosity leading him to
come and look at a house his mother had
pointed out to him when they first arrived
in London, he met with two adventures.
An angel, in the shape of a fair, gent'e
child, pitied the ragged wretch, and be
stowed on him her all ; the first pieTce of
gold he had ever possessed."
Hetta blushed deeply, for she remember
ed the circumstance.
' Before he could make use of this gener
ous gift, he was stricken with illness
brought on by want, and carried to the
workhouse, where, for the fir3t time in his
life, he found friends. The doctor who tend
ed him, took him to his owuhouse ; and, as
soon as he was sufficiently restored, clothed
him, enabled him to earn his daily bread
honestly, and encouraged him to try
and recover the lost papers, that he might
ascertain their contents. Miss Capel, this
very night I have succeeded in wrestling the
packet trom the woman who withheld them
till I could pay her as much as her greed ex
torted. I have those papers here " (he
touched hi3 breast) ; " and they contain un
answerable iroofs that I am the legitimate
offspring of Robert Capel."
" My uncle is just. Surely he will be
pleased to hear this to acknowledge you as
his kinsman!" Hetta faltered. Sha felt
that this wa3 scarcely the truth, and Leon
ard smiled rather scornfully.
" Pleased ! Forgive me if I doubt it.
Have you forgotten that I am the son of the
elder brother, and that, by right of birth, 1
can claim all the property that he succeeded
to at his father's decease ?'
Hetta pressed her hands to her bosom,
and gazed at him wildly, as with triumph
in his eyes he once m re looked around him.
Who would dare despise him now ? This
proud banker must veil his head to the out
east he had spurned, and all ! sweetest
hope of all he was the equal of the fair girl
who stood trembling before him.
But she spoke she roused him from his
dream, nnd hi3 gladness vanished.
" Do you know what will be the conse
quence to my poor uncle ? " sirs cried. " It
will be ruin ; yes, ruin ! for his pride will
not let him accept any concessions yon may
offer. But worse than this more terrible
to bear will be the disgrace that will fall
upon him when the world puts, as it will
do, the worst construction on his conduct."
" I am but claiming my own ! " said Len,
firmly. " If it is hi3 turn to succumb and
suffer is the fault mine ! Those who had
no rnercy on my innocent mother, but left
her to perish miserably, while they reveled
in luxury, cannot expect any mercy from
me."
" But my uncle is no longer young,"
pleaded Hetta. " Hi3 health is infirm.
Any sudden shock will kill him ; and rely
upon it he did not knowingly wroiig you !
Oh ! pity him ! " and in her excitement, she
camj and laid her hands on Len's arm.
" This very night he sit3 with his children
around him, happy in the thought that their
future is secured ; that, die when he may,
h's son, his first-born, his best loved,
his noble Maurice, will inherit his wealth
and unstained name. Can you have the
heart to bring such sorrow, such shame,
up.jn them all ? Must all the33 innocent
ones gaffer ? Will you enjoy the riches, and
the station, to grasp which you must break
so many hearts ? Oh ! think a moment ere
you take so terrible a step !"
" You plead for those who do not deserve
it," answered Len, turning away that he
might not see her beseeching eyes. " Had
1 come to them for help had I 3aid to Mr.
Capel, I am your brother'3 son, and I
starve,' would he have listened to my pray
er ? why, then, should I renounce my
rights that he may continue to enjoy what
is not his own ? "
Still Hetta clung to him.
" Spare them, at least, for this one night.
Break the tidings of their ruin gently, and
try to see in Mr. Capel, not the man whom
long years of affluence have made hard and
worldly, but the brother of your own fa
ther. You will do this much ! "
" For your sake I would do anything,"
Len answered, fervently. " Ask what you
will, it shall not be refused."
" You promise ! " she cried blushing deep
ly, " Then be a brother to Maurice."
" Cousin r I may call you so thi3 once !
Sweet cousin, the first time I came here
you gave me all you had. ' I have the coin
still, for I could never bear. to part with it ;
and 1 Have prayed a thousand times that I
might be able some day to repay your good
ness. Let me, then do so thid night. For
your sake I renounce everything 1 could
have claimed. I go back to'obscurity that
you may be the happy wife of Maurice Ca
pel. Kis3 me once, in token that you will
remember kindly, and I will never trouble
you again."
Betore the troubled Hetta could ask her
self whether site could sanction so great a
sacrifice, he had touched her lips with his
own, and rushed trom the room.
As the door closed upon the departing
Len, another flew open, and she beheld
Alaurice Capel and his mother.
" Deceitful, unworthy girl ! " exclaimed
the latter. ' Was it to secretly receive a
low-born lover that you stayed upstairs so
willingly ? Do you think after what I have
seen that I can permit my daughters to as
sociate with you again ? You must quit the
house imme. 1 lately.
"No, no!" cried Hetta, imploringly.
" I have done nothing wrong. You are
mi3tanen, near aunt you are, indeed !
" Must I disbelieve the evidence of my
own eye3 1 Can you deny that I saw you
clasped in tne arms ot a stranger ?
' Exonerate yourself, Hetta ! For my
saite, ten tne whole truth ! implored Mau
rice, speaking for the first time.
" I can only repeat that although appear
ances were against me, 1 nave aone nothing
wrong. Whea I am your wife, Maurice,
I will teil you air.
'My wife!" he cried scornfully. "Do
you think I would wed a girl who holds
clandestine interviews and permits tSe ca
resses of such a fellow as he who just left
you I
"But, Maurice, hear me, and not by the
one act 01 which, tor your own sake, 1 with
hold the explanation !"
But she besought him in vain. He shook
her oil with such cruel, such unmanly
taunts, that Hetta shrank from him, wonder
ing how she could have wasted the rich
treasure of her affection on one so selfish, so
unjust.
She returned to her aunt. Would she
not be more merciful in her judgment ? No.
Mrs. Capel had eagerly grasped at such a
chance of ridding herself of the niece who
was no longer a match for her son ; and
within an hour after Leonard quitted the
house, Hetta was expelled from it, to begin
the New Year in the home of the humble
friend to whom she hastened an old serv

that the girl she had nursed and known
from her infancy deserved the cruel stigma
cast upon her.

28enly to Dr. Boswell's Letter.
Editor Gazette : As your paper is open
to the free discussion of all questions of pub
lic interest, I therefore ask space in its col
umns to reply to a communication written
by John BosweH, M. D. and published in
the Gazette of the 10th inst., eulogizing the
management of Siletz Indian Reservation.
Some twelve years ago the Dr. wrote still
greater accounts of the progress of the In
dians under Hon. Ben. Simpson. Said the
reservation produced an abundance for all
the Indians to live on and a good deal to sell.
Those who are acquainted with the Dr. will
make due allowance for his exaggerated let
ters, and also note that it makes but little-
difference which side he is on.
The Indians, with a few exceptions, are
not industrious and thrifty, as he says, but
are lazy and shiftless lying around in the
sun, eating up the substance of those that
do work, wdiile thousands of splendid, rich
land lie idle, producing nothing but weeds
and grass, and no stock even to graze upon
it. This land and fine timber along the
Siletz river, ought to be utilized by white
people, if the Indians won't use it a3 this
would add hundreds of dollars to the wealth
of the State. Locate these Indians that
want land (forty acres to each Indian's fam
ily) and open up the balance to w hite set
tlement. This would make room for a good
many white families that want homes and
the Indians would be mach better off than
under the present system, while the Govern
ment would be relieved of a heavy and un
necessary expense.
A person might, by counting all the board
and brush shantie3 on the reservation, make
a hundred and twenty ; but when we talk
of eojd houses, with wool-houses attached,
furnished with stoves, bedsteads and bed
ding, they are few and far between. After
making all due allowance for the Indian,
and giving him full credit for the progress
he has made, I don't know of a white family
in Benton county but that is far ahead of
the best Indiana family on the reservation in
the art of housekeeping and cleanliness.
The comparison is invidious and a s!auder
upou the white citizens of the county.
The Indians are much the same a3 they
were yeais ago. They believe in the tradi
tions and superstitions of their fathers as
much as they ever did. The only difference
is, many of them have a better way of hid
ing their superstitions. They decorate the
graves of their dead the same as they did
twenty year3 ago. And when one of their
number dies. ' they put in his grave such
thing3 as will bo useful to help him on to
the " happy hunting ground" where all good
ingins go.
The Indians have three or four large un
derground dance houses (the Indians call
them church houses) where they meet dress
ed up with skins, feathers, beads, etc., and
go through with all kinds of contortions,
gyrations, and incantations line wild savages
This they call worshiping the Great Spirit,
and who knows but their mode of worship
is just as sincere as the white man's At
least foui-fifth3 of fell the Indiaii3 on the
reservation engage in these dances.
An Indian, as a rule, only works when
he is driven to it by necessity or compelled
by those having charge of him. And the
truest friend the Indian has is the person
that will make him do the moslT to help
himself. The plan of indulging them in
their idleness, only makes thein greater bur
dens to the Government and vagabonds in
the community.
So far as the school i3 concerned, if the
tree is to be judged by its fruits this tree is
almost entirely barren of any substantial
good. Thousands of dollars have been
spent in trying to educate the Siletz Indians
and perhaps not more than half a.dozen can
read and write a little, and they don't un
derstand it. Of course the school don't
amount to much when a couple of children
can teach it who have not sufficient age and
experience to teach a common district school.
The Indians go to school to get their luucii,
. .1 . r 1 r 111 l.rt fnllMfl 111
ana when that laus out ie.v m x
the school house. Instead ot putting up -
large boarding house costing ?8,CC0 or v-llVJ
000, would it not be more senaioie w
few teams, wagons and farming implements,
and put the Indians to work and mane tne
' j.rx XW tUn r
reservation rise on true meat
have it braced and bolstered up by exagger
ated communications written by a paid em
ploye ?
In regard to the church work, the Indians
will belTr no comparison whatever to the re
ligious professions of white people. The
writer must have judged otuers oy nxuxoxx
in the matter. After having one7 continual
round of church services for seven or eight
,r. three times a week and all day Sun
day, the Indians learn by rote a good deal
f W. i Baid. and as they are great imitators
they can repeat it in good style, making
fronuentlv eood impressions anu oiiu ue
ceed in pulling the wool over some people's
eyes, when the most of them do it tor snow
and to be favored. .
As to the general prosperity (ft the reser
vation, if broken wagons, sore-backed horses,
dilapidated fences, foul land, arid old houses,
are any indication of prosperity, then Siletz
is in a prosperous condition. It is perfectly
preposterous to put men upon an Indian res
ervation to elevate and improve it who have
been financial failures all their lives. For a
number of years they have not even succeed
ed in raising their seed, and Government has
had to buy it. I understand, however, since
P. M. Stanton, Esq. was employed as farm
er, the agricultural department of the res
ervation has materially improved.
John Boswell, M. D. , Chief of Police and.
ex-ofiicio agent, did arrest a poor inoffensive,
man, who had got on the reservation, and
not knowing the" rnles stayed all night at an
Indian house and without committing a sin
gle offense was marched by this man holding
a little brief authority, to an old dirty guard
house, too filthy for an Indian, and kept
there all night and marched off the reserva
tion without a single charge being found
against him. Big inpin, me. The same
man has a place on the Bny, and is now
waiting for his family to join him, from
Portland, when they propose to make a honic
among us. If this is not an outrage, then
there is no difference between right and
wrong. Should anything more be necessary
to substantiate this statement it can be had
from the citizens in the neighborhood or
from the man himself.
Not a word his Lean said, or written
agin3t the bad management of Siletz reser
vation, but what is true and the half has
not been told. . X.

A boy returned hiime from school one day
with the r.-p,irt that his scholarship had fal
len below the average. Said his father :
" Well, you've fallen behind this mouth,
have you ?
" Yes, sir."
" How did that happen '! "
"Don't know, sir."
The father knew, if his son did not. He
had observed a number of cheap novels about
the house, but he had not thought it worth
while to say anything about it until a fitting
opportunity should oiler itself. A basket, of -apples
stood upon the floor. Said' he :
' Empty those apples and take the basket
nd bring it to me full of chips. And now,"
he continued, " put those apples back in tho
basket." ' '.'..
When half tlic apples were replaced the
son said : " Father, they roll off. I can't put
in arty more."
" Put them in. I tell vou.
" But, father, I can't "put them in."
"Put them in ? No ; of course you can't
put them in. Do you expect to fill a basket
half full of chips and then fill it with ap
ples ? You said you did not know wdiy you.
fell behind at school, and I will tell yon'..
Your mind is like that basket it will not
hold much more than so much ; and here
you have been the past month filling it up
with rubbish worthless, cheap novels. "

Mammoth Cave in California. A dis-.
patch dated Columbia, CaL, Jan. 10th says :
"A wonderful natural mammoth cave has
been discovered near this place by Mr. Al
fred Gardener. It has been explored to the
extent of"a mile, and yet its terminating re
ceases are unknown. The scenery in thjj
cave is grand and beautiful. Some of the
chambers are sixty feet long and thirty wide.
Crowds of people are visiting the cave daily."
The Government of India is about to es
tablish agricultural schools in order to in
troduce better methods of agriculture among
the farmers of that country. The native
methods are wretchedly poor, and it is little
wonder that the famines are occasionally
dreadful. The curse of Indian agriculture
is said to he the inveterate custom in many
places of using the cjiitle manure for fuel,
and to put a stop to this a law is proposed
for the compulsory planting of fuel trees,
which also would have a good climatic effect.
