A COMEDY.
Thomas Bailey Aldrich. J '
They parted, with clasps of hand.
And kisses, and burning tears!
Tbey met in a foreign land
After some twenty years.
Met as acquaintances meet,
Smiling, tranquil eyed;
Not even the least little beat
Of the heart upon either side.
They chatted of this and that,'
The nothings that make up life;
She in a Gainsborough hat,
And he in black for his wife.
Ah, what a comedy this I
Neither was hurt it appears;
Yet once she had leaned to his kisr
And once he had known her tear

One singular fact is the infinite di
versity of language. Not only every
tribe, but every band, of which there
are sometimes tifty in a single tribe, has
its own dialect or jargon, perfectly un
intelligible to all who do not belong to
the band. In all times the Indians
have disdained to learn even a few
words of an enemy's language. Stranger
yet, the Cheyennes and Arrapahoes for
three-quarters of a century have been
firm friends, camping and hunting to
gether and making war upon the same
enemies at the same time. The children
constantly romp and play together in
the common camp. Yet not one in ten
of either tribe can hold the most ordi
nary conversation in the language of
the other.
Unable to speak each other's
language, the Indians of the west have
constructed a wonderful sign language
by which they hold intercourse. Ges
tures, signs, are more or less natural to
every one. Among the plains Indians
alone have they reached their most
wonderful development. So compli
cated and elaborate is the sign lan
guage, consisting of countless gestures
and movements, the slightest variation
in which marks wide differences in
meaning, that only a few Indians in a
tribe are completely masters of it, and
the masses can only use it slightly. The
signs do not indicate letters, nor words,
as with the deaf and dumb, but ideas.
There is one sign to indicate hunger,
another for "stop talking," another for
summer, and so on infinitely. Yet an
expert sign-talker will either make or
interpret a .long speech, which consists
of an infinite number of signs, follow
ing each other with lightning-like
rapidity. Two strange Indians will
meet on horseback, each unable to
understand a spoken word of the other,
and while holding the reins with the
left hand, will converse for hours with
their right, telling stories or relating
their experience without a single mis
understanding. "HI Faith la L.lve Stock Fell.

Henry A. Wise told the following
story while he was in Washington dur
ing the Know Nothing excitement. A
negro fisherman in Norfolk. Ya., came
one day to his master and said : "Alaska,
I want to buy myself free. I got tree
hundred dollars, sir ; I will pay you dat
down, and gib you de rest when I mek
urn." "Very well, Tom," said his mas
ter," you have been a faithful fellow,
and I will comply with your wish." The
money was accordingly paid, and the
inchoate freedom of Tom commenced.
A few days afterward Tom went out
to fish, in compauy with a fel
low servant, and there came up a
blow which capsized the fishing smack
and drowned Tom's companion. The
next day Tom came to his master and
said : " Alassa, I change my mind, sir ;
I don't want to buy myself any more,
sir." "Why, Tom," said his master,
"you have already paid a large portion
of your price, and. by industry in your
profitable calling you will soon earn
and pay the residue, and you had better
carry out vour original intention."
"No, massa, was Tom's economical re
joinder. "I radder hab my money back;
nigge4roperty too unsartin, sir." Mat
ters were, accordingly, put in statu
quo, and Tom abandoned all chance of
being a freedman, and quietly and
voluntarily returned to the condition of
slave, being unwilling to lish, on his
own hook, in the troubled and perilous
waters of freedom.

Asbestos is becoming a valuable and
much-used mineral. It has been lately
discovered in its purest form in lower
Canada, and the Quantity is said to be
nraetieallv without limit. The fibers
are long, pure white, and as fine as silk,
and the district covered comprises two
counties near Quebec, to pvhich city
the product is brought to be crushed
and cleaned, and from which point
large shipments are now being made to
England and the United States.
The possibilities of th!s mineral range
over a field that is simply marvelous.

its chief recommendation to many, but
its thoroughly incombustible nature is
of special value, because, in
spite of the so-called protec

A SOULLESS LIFE.
B. L. R. Dane in N. O. Times-Democrat
I knew a woman, who held in a.
strong, fine body a soul as sensitive as
a wind harp; every breath made it
vibrate ; minor melodies, the white and
classic beauty of a statue, the tones of
color in painting, the subtle thought
and stately flow of a poem, the song of
a bird, sunlight on the sea, the velvet
bloom and curve of a woman's cheek,
the muscles sloping under the brown
skin of a man, even the yellow eyes of a
happy-hearted daisy, all filled her sensu
ous soul with exhausting, unspeakable
rapture.
' In like proportions were her griefs ;
all harsh, all unlovely things jarred
upon her as cruel, jangling discords;
and wounds that to healthier, more
robust'natures were but as bramble
scratches, to this foolish, sensitive spirit
were as the thrust of a dagger whose
wounds rankled forever.
' By one of those inexplicable decisions
of immutable fate this woman was
placed among surroundings that re
quired a spiritual equipoise like that of
her body. No more intolerable life for
such a nature may be conceived. Her
wild struggles against her destiny were
in vain, for the walls of implacable cir
cumstances are not beaten down by any
fluttering;, even the most passionate.
One still black night, after long years
of spiritual travail and unending tur
moil, her soul died within her. She
felt that a change was upon her; lain
all in lily white along her virgin couch,
staring with wide eyes into the black
ness that clasped hex all about, touched
faintly with aw e, but most conscious of
supreme exhaustion, knowing that the
end had come.
The ceaseless struggle that raged
within her was wearing toward its
close ; was it bodily death ? She hoped
for that, believed it was and met it
with a glad courage, yet some shrink
ing of the flesh, such as the bravest feel
standing at "the strait and dreadful
pass of death." What was to come
after the passing of breath? Oblivion
she believed, but that one cannot
know ; in any case, she did not fear, it
could be liO worse than life
"W'f know not whether death be good.
Bur- life at least it will not be."
And the slow, heavy pulsing of her
heart was but the involuntary struggle
of the flesh, like the convulsive flicker
ing of a lamp when the oil is all gone.
Thus she lying etraightly, with her
arms beneath her head, waited calmly,
somewhat curiously, what might come.
All her life, her tossings to and fro of
soul, lay clearly before her; and re
membering these things, she yearned
toward repose, toward oblivion, as
dazzled eyes ache toward utter dark
ness. Heavier her heart throbbed, but
surely, slowly iier soul slipped from
her. flarod up once more faintly and
died.
All through the hours' of darkness she
lay motionless, neither conscious nor
unconscious, as lies the- overthrown
Memuoa in the black desert nights.
With the light she woke to life, but a
life numb and frozen. The dawn did
not touch her lips into song. Her
hated surroundings no longer filled her
with loathing; a quiet lack of feeling
was all she knew; she was an one par
alyzed, but not of the body.
This filled her with fa'nt surprise at
firBt when she found her pleasures gone
also; music no longer thrilled her,
beauty hat! lost its power. She tried
sometimes to rouse emotiou again, to
spur her old hates, her fervid predilec
tions, but ever fell back after the effort
with a calm reali ation of the useless
ness of it. Long, deep thought showed
her the true cause at last, and the only
sen-ation she knew was desire to con
ceal it, like the effort a madman makes
to hide his loss of mind.
She rarelv looked in anv ones eves,
fearing they might see through the
soul's windows how dark and empty
was the house ; ever keeping her lids
lowered, as a woman who loves, or a
man who feels a drug mounting to his
brain.
Carefully she always said the things
she had been used to say, fierce, scorn
ful or tender, as her fervid feelings had
been. Saying them with precision, but
mechanically, as one who feels the
fumes of chloroform and though con
scious of what he must say, painfully
hears his own words as from thousands
of miles away mingled with the gigan
tic thunders of his brain, and vaguely
wonders what they mean, what ideas
they reprf sant.
And so lived out the long life allotted
by unrelenting destiny, undetected save
once by a man who loved her; a man
with very subtle instincts, who looking
deeply in her eyes started away with
fear; he could not pierce the depth of
those dark wells.
He left her full of awe, as one who
had seen the dead rise and walk, and
grasping into the dark after the vague
truth that ever inst eluded his grasp
Once, aud only once did the tears ever
come to those vacant eyes, when she
stood by the grave of one she had loved
much, and felt a faint pathos in her
absence of grief.
At last, the flame having died out,
the fuel slowly fell to cold gray ashes.
Krnpp's Fifty Too Hammer.
Chicago Tribune.
The great fifty-ton hammer in Krnpp's
works at lessen gained its name, "Unser
Fritz," and the inscription it bears,
"Fritz, let fly! in the following man
ner : When, in 1877, the Emperor Will
iam visited Essen this steam hammer
attracted his attention. Krupp pre
sented to him the machinist, fritz,
who, he said, handled the hammer with
such nicety and precision as not to in
jure or touch an object placed in the
center of the block. The emperor at
once put his diamond-studded watch on
the spot indicated, and beckoned to the
machinist to set the hammer in motion.
1 ritz hesitated out of consideration for
the precious object, but Krapp urged
him on by saying, ".Fritz, let fly!"
Down came the hammer, and the watch
remained untouched. The emperor
gavo it to the machinist as a souvenir,
and Krupp added 1,000 marks to the
present.

THE TRUE ESQUIMAUX.
A Point Barrow Traveler Dispels s
Few Current False Idea.
(Lieut. Ray, in Indianapolis News.
"What nation of people inhabit tht
country?"
"The true Esquimaux. They do not
extend into the interior any distance,
but find their living along and in the
sea. They are truly a race of sea peo
ple. They have a continual struggle
for existence, and resemble children
in their improvidence. If one
chances to Becure an unusual
supply of food his friends and
neighbors invite thomselves to a f eait at
his expense, and soon it disappears.
There is perfect community of property
aud food interests among them. Hos
pitality is to them an unknown virtue,
for w hat is one s equally belongs to
them all. There is a village right at
the Point of about 130 souls, and the
entire population of the coast for about
600 miles is only 70). The only
animal that can exist with them
is the dog, and they are
very sear. e. 1 et, notwithstanding all
these drawbacks to what we could con
sider even mere existence, I think they
are the happiest people on earth. They
are contented with their lot. They
have no Hod, no religion, no govern
ment, no laws, no money, nor any idea
of what it is, no marriage, and yet. they
are not heathenish in the least. They
are very quick witted, and it was not
long after we landed before they were
ab e to understand our wants by the
signs we made. They speak a tongue
the like of which I never heard any
where else, ai:d I believe they are in
digenous to the country, a purely "ice
peoph ," I do not agree with the the
crics of ethnologists respecting their
origin, that they have been driven from
their original homes by a stronger
race. They have not yet grown be
yond the stone age, using stone knives,
and other implements. They could
havo iron, which is cast up by the
sea from the numerous wrecks
which it contains, but the
conservative old men refuse to
use it, holding that it is wrong. So
they do have a sense of moral percep
tion. This was further showu when it
became necessary for me to change the
law of property. I could not, of course,
undertake to feed the entire village
from my stores, as they evinced a
unanimous willingness to have me do,
and at the first they threatened to carry
off everything I had. But after they
understood that this was not to be al
lowed they always respected meum et
tuum.
"Their only weapon is a spear, of
primitive design and workmanship,about
seven feet long. It has an ivory point,
and along its side three prongs are set.
They are curved, and serrated on the
lower edge. When they throw this into
a flock of ducks, if the point misses its
aim the prongs tatchithe bird around
the neck, and the game is secured
They use a hand-board to accelerate the
force and speed of the weapon, and are
able to project it sixty or seventy yards
with great force. .t twenty-five yards
they can dr.ve it through a man.
"On the trip to Meade mountains I
found evidence of a fo.iuer population,
of whom the present residents have
not even a tradition. There were ruins
of huts centuries old along the north
shore, and the discoveries seemed to
astound the natives who were with me."
"How do the t'squimaux compare
with our people in height and figure?"
"I measured UK) oi them, aud the
averaged height was live feet and nine
inches and weight UK) pounds, rather
above that oi' average Americans, and I
never saw a fat Esquimau."
- What about the;r habits?"
"Well, they don't eat blubber nor
drink whale oil. I never heard of a
case of the latter, and blubber is only
eaten to prevent starvation. There
has been a good deal of rot written
about the Arctic regions and the inhab
itants thereof. The stories about their
food are a portion of the romancing in
dulged in. The Esquimau may slice a
thin piece of blubber and lay it on his
deer meat, the same as we put butter
on our bread, but unless he is starving
that is the extent of his use of it. And
I am informed by whalers and others
who have been up on the east coast
that the people there are the same in
their customs and manners as those
among whom I spent two years."

The Indians residing in Oregon
hold that it is a violation of their re

they returned to its bosom and again
became part of, the elements of the

Can a man with a big heart be light
hearted? HTB ANCESTORS' NERVE.
The Secret of Their Unusual Vigor
Explained and How It Can
be Acquired.
There was something about the sturdy
vigor of former generations that chal
lenges the admiration of every man, wo
man and child. Thev were no epicures
those ancient fathers.' They lived simply,
and successfully met and overcome diffi
culties that would have discouraged this
age and generation. The riprors of the
frontier were supplemented by the sav
ages; wild beasts threatened their enter
prise and poverty was a common compan
ion. Yet they bravely encountered and
resisted all those things and laid the foun
dations of a land whose blessings we now
enjoy. Their constitutions were strong;
their health unsurpassed and yet they
were forced to expose themselves contin
ually. There certainly must have been
some good and adequate cause for all this
and for the physical superiority of that
age over the present.
it is well known to every one conversant
with the history of that time that certain
home compounds of strengthening quali
ties were used almost universally by those
pioneers. The malarial evils and exposures
to which they were subjected necessitated
this. When their bodies became chilled
by cold or debilitated by the damp mists
of a new country they were forced to
counteract it by the use of antidotes.
Medicines were few in those days and doc
tors almost unknown. Hence the prepara
tions above referred to. From among the
number, all of which were compounded
upon the same general principle, one was
found to be more efficient and hence far
more popular than all the rest. It was
well known through the middle and west
ern states and was acknowled as the best
preparation for malarial disorders and
? general debility then known. The recipe
or compounding this valuable article was
handed down from one family and genera
tion to another, was known to the Harri
son family and is used as the basis and
general formula for the present "Tippe
canoe, the name being suggested by the
battle in which General Harrison was en
gaged. The manufacturers have thor
oughly investigated this subject in its
minutest details, and are certain that for
mal-assimilation of food, dyspepsia, tired
feelings, general debilitv, prostrations,
malarial disorders and humors in the
blood, nothing can exceed in value "Tip
pecanoe," which was the medicine of our
forefathers and seems destined to be the
most popular preparation of the day.
"Tippecanoe" is prepared and given to
the public by Messrs. II. H. Warner & Co.,
of ltochester, N. Y., proprietors of the fa
mous Warner's Safe Cure, which is now
the most extensively used of any Ameri
can medicine. The well known standing
of this house is a sufficient guarantee of
the purity and power of this preparation
which seeks to banish one of the greatest
banes of the nineteenth century mal-as-l
similation of food. Any one who expe
riences trouble of digestion; who feels less
vigor than formerly; whose system has
unouestionablv "run down" and who real
izes the necessity of some strengthening
tonic cannot afford to permit such symp
toms to continue. If the farmer finds that
his threshine machine does not. separate
the grain from the straw he realizes that
something is wrong and tries to repair the
machine. Vhen the food does not sustain
the ETe; when it fails to make blood; when
it causes the energy to depart and ambition
to die, it is a certain an that something
is wrong and that the human machine
needs repairing. It is not a question of
choice: it is a matter of duty. You must
attend to your health or your sickness and
nothing will sooner overcome these evils
than 4Tippecanoe," the medicine of the

SKIU HUMOH.
My baby, six months old, broke out with some kind of
skin humor, and after being treated fire months by my
family pbyaicion was given up to die. The druggist
recommended SwlfVa B pacific, and the effect waa as
gratifying t w" miraculous. My child soon got well,
all traces of the disfaie is crone, and he is as fat as a pig.
J. J. KlRKUAND, Mtnden, Eusk County, Texas.
I have suffered for many years from ulcers on my legs,
often very large and painful, during which time I used
almost everything t effect a cure, but in vain. I took
Swift's Specific by adrice of a friend, and in a short Urns
was cured sound and well. Edwin J. Mili ir.

I have been afflioted with Scrofula for twelve years',
and have had sores on me as large as a man's hand for
that length of time. Last summer I was so bad off that
I eould not wear clothing. I had spent hundreds of
dollars in the effort to be cured, but all to no purpose,
and had injured myself with Mercury and Potasn. Vour
Swift's Specific on red me promptly and permanently,
and I hope every like sufferer will take it.
