INDIANS AT COLLEGE.
Nome IMnicn'lflen that night Arise
In the Course of Young; Lo' Life.
Peck's Sun.
The Indian who goes to a college will
find it hard, after the life he has led, to
adopt the ways of civilized college stu
dents and becomo hazers, who practice
cruelty on boys who are physically
weak. You take a plain, unvarnished
Indian boy, put on his head a visorloss
college cap, a collar four inches high, a
tight coat, cut off too short at the lower
end, a pair of pants that he would have
to put French chalk inside of, to got
his logs in, and long tooth-pick shoes
with yellow tops, and give him a cane,
and teach him to say, "Ah. by Jove,
you know," and he would bo a
picture that would cause his - tribe
to weep. Suppose the father and
mother of the Indian student, thus at
tired, should give the muskrats that
they trap, a holiday, and go to the col
lege to visit their son, and should find
him as described, and he should put his
eye-glass into his eye and say, "Ah, gov
ernor, glad to see you, you know ; and
inadanie, I am' yours truly," the aged
rat trapper would pull his gun and if
he could get two of them in range he
would shoot them, though ho would
hesitate to waste a charge of powder on
a single one, whilo the squaw mother
would wrap her blanket around her form
and go and lean against a fence and be
sick. The Indian would have too much
sense, uncultured though he might be,
to be proud of such an outfit as a son,
and instead of blessing the day that his
son decided to become civilized, he
would curse it.
If it is deemed advisable to educate
Hie Indian boys, let us commence at the
right place, the country school, and
when the Indian has learned enough to
be able to transact busines, let him go
into some business that he can do, and
if he has got it in him to become a man,
he will have encouragement from all
decent people, but if we start him in a
college, where half the.boys go because
all the other places to get rid of them
are closed, the Indian will come out a
big-headed piece of uselessness, and
when he gets out there will be no place
good enough for him. He will be above
catching rats, and the world will owe
him a living. t
French Prepared for War.
Courier-Journal Paris Letter.
France learned a lesson from the last
war, and I am told that she has since
prepared herself so well for any emer
gency that in twenty-four hours she
could equip and have ready for imme
diate action 1,200,000 men.
Every man is a soldier until the age
of 40, serving five years from the ages
of HO to 21. After that every two years
he must give twenty-eight days' service
to the nation, no matter where he may
be. Each man ia provided in time of
peace with a uniform, and he knows to
what division and company he belongs,
even the place of rendezvous, so that
if there were a general call to arms
there would be no confusion. He
would simply don his military attire
and be ready to defend his country
to defend her with all his might and
will, for if there is a feeling in the
Frenchman's heart, stronger than all
therest.it is "l'amourdela patrie"
to them the sweetest and most meaning
words in the language.

A Word ror the I'ndertaker.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Yet the undertaker and his assistants
are generally a cheery sot, who laugh
hard sometimes, if not loud, and grow
fat amid their ghostly surroundings.
And this is not merely habit, but nat
ural adaptation ; the undertaker nasei-
tur non tit and his birthright is a dis
tinctiveness that caunot be mistaken.
He is of a medium height, slightly bent
in the shoulders as bo tits a man who
bears the burden of the world's griefs,
inclined to pallor, perhaps, but with a
countenance expressive of good diges
tion, well-dressed in dull colors, and
stepping noiseless as a ghost. Ho is
never young and seldom old ; tho latter
s the sexton's characteristic. Ho is a
connoisseur in dress, and knows to per
fection the propor tie and tho tit of
sable gloves. Yet, though following a
business seomingly so depressing and
'inrclening, lie is at heart kind and ten
der to a thought. If ho seems rudo
and unthinking, it should he remom
bere I that custom and philosophy have
combined to teach him that ho deals
only with the useless human clav.
To funeral etiquette no pavs a ready
deference, but it is to the saddened
family, not to tho inanimate form. His
business is strictly business, and he
never forgets it. He prepares tho
corpse for burial and solemnly conducts
it to its last resting place, a sincere
mourner on general principles. Or he
is called to tlie house ol tlie griel
strickon family, whoro he deftly and
perfectlv manages all arrangemonts,
provides the carriages and often the
clergyman, preserves the reckless Jehus
in sober decency, conducts tho funeral
to the grave and gives character to tho
ceremonies.- If ho does not grieve, ho
appreciates tlie sorrows of others and
insures it fitting respect and indulgouco.
Or perhaps the remains are to bo
shipped to waiting friends abroad ; he
oversees details, procures the passage
and attends to the embarkation, making
even the proverbial baggage-smasher
yield to lus solemn mem tho while.
Give him credit for his skill and kind
ness. r'rencli Landscape Peculiar.
Paris Cor. Ololie-Democrnt
There is something peculiarly indi
vidual about French landscape that
quite distinguishes it from any other I
liavo had the pleasure of viewing. In
passing through Scotland I could Bee
that the hilly portions of the eastern
states might with a few modifications
present about the same appearance
with hedges instead of Virginia fences,
and fields, meadows and woodland
cleared of all stones, stumps and under
brush. In the southern portion of
England I could see one of our westeru
prairies cut up into small portions,
highly cultivated, and the American
frame house turned to stone; in other
words, it may bo considered to repre
sent our own land many centuries
hence.
But as soon as we reach France we feel
that we are in a strange but friendly
land, inhabited by an entirely different
race of men. Just wherein the diner
enco lies one can scarcely tell an
artist's brush would seem inadequate
to the task. A brightor green would
be needed for the grass and foliage,
a clearer sky must needs be painted,
and if possible u more brilliant suushine
than in home landscapes, lhen a som
bre grayish color would come in play
to portray the queer-shaped mortar
houses and a dark brick color for tho
lines of the roof. The view would need
to bo cut up in small portions, now by
green hedges, now by more forbidding
walls. I he whole must have a "made
look, with scarcely any trace of nature's
waywardness, as if century upon cen
tury generations of men had occupied
the same ground, tilling over and over
again the same soil, sheltered by the
same houses, until the time when all
this country was either swamps or vir
gin forests, inhabited by warlike Gauls,
would seem to date back way into pre
historic times.
Poe n Peculiar Pluck.
Harper's Macrnzine.1
An intimate friend - from bovhood of
Edgar Allan Poe says he never saw him
smile in his life. As a boy and young
man he was retiring and made few
friends. He was strong, and devoted
to all sorts of athletic games, about
which he went in a serious, determined
way, as in all things else. His melan
choly and peculiar ways were in keep
ing with his writings. Once at school
a big boy got his head under his arm, and
was giving him a terrible beating, until
bystanders freed aim. V hue the beat
ing was in progress Poo kept perfectly
still and endured it, being of an endur
ing, tough physique. On emerging, he
remarked that he had determined to
wait until the fellow got exhausted,
when he meant to pummel him once
for all just like his usual notions of
proceeding. lie was courageous,
though he never sought difficulties.
Plant Peculiarities.
Exchange.
A Norwegian botanist states that
most plants in high latitudes produce
larger and heavier seed than in regions
nearer the equator an effect which he
ascribes to tho prolonged influence of
suulight during the summer days in
high latitudes. In some cases the dif
ference of seed development is aston
ishing. Dwarf beans taken from
Christiana to Drontheim less than
four degrees farther north gained
more than 00 per cent, in weight; and
thyme from Lyons when planted at
Drontheim showed a gain of 71 per
cent. Tho leaves also of most plants
are largor and more deeply colored in
higher latitudes. The same is true of
flowers, and many w hich are white in
southern climates become violet in the
far north.

such as breast-pins, lockits, charms, and
sleeve-buttons on' silver money an'
greenbacks. A short spell ago I found
a $10 bill iu some ashes. But the prin
cipal things, of course, is rags, bones,
brass, bottles, tin cans, and old boots
and shoes, and tho like, and dey all pays
well. I sells dem to dealers. For a
wagon-load of tin cans I gits $2.50. Old
boots and shoes is worth 10 cents a

Kail road Prominence.
New York Cor. Pioneer Press.
"Did you ever, observe," said a gen
tleman this week, who keeps a sharp
eye on the newspapers, "how favored
railroad men are in the columns of the
daily papers from New York to San
Francisco? There is no paper of prom
inence that gives less than one to two
columns daily to railroad affairs. In
the little paragraphs with which these
close the names of officials of various
roads appear from day to day in con
nection otton with most trivial matters.
Takeithore in St. Paul, for instance.
I suppose there aro possibly 100 railroad
men drawing salaries ranging from
$1,500 to $10,000, whoso names get into
print at least once a week the year
round. There are 20,000 men equally
important in ono way and another, who
are lucky if their names avorago one
newspaper appearance in a year. I
really doubt if it is justice or good
management to shut so large a class of
people as farmers, for instance, out of
the daily and weekly papers for the
sake of so much unimportant railroad
news."

The old colored nurse, the creole
"mammy" was the ideal servant a
good cook, a thorough nurso, a .second
mother to the children, but teaching
them to prattle a horrible jargon,
sometimes called "gombo," and again,
"creole." Tlie negro lingo of Virginia
is classical compared with the jargon of
the creolo negro. Whether it was that
French was a language too difficult for
their tongues, or whether it was duo to
the presence of so many negroe brutes,
wild negroes of African birth, in the
colony, cannot be 'said ; it is only known
that they spoke a distinct patois
another language from their masters,
made up of about equal parts of French
and African words, and absolutely in
comprehensible to an ordinary French
man. The whole gibberish contained but a
few hundred words and was without
tense, mood, or grammar. One word
did duty for a hundred, and the very
animals and trees were without distinct
ive titles, because the language was not
rich enough to give them names.
