FIRST STEPS.
Elizabeth C. Kinney, in St Nicholas.
Husht the baby stands alone
Hold your breath and watch her;
Now she takes a step just one
Wavers, stops quick, catch her I
Courage! Life's. first step will cost:
. Now again she's trying
One, two three! she walks, almost,
Trembling, stumbling, crying.
Precious baby, up once more
Tiny feet advancing.
Little arms stretched oat before,
Bright eyes upward glancing.
Where mamma, with cheering smile,
To her darling bsckons,
Softly coaxing baby, while
Hor first step she reckons.
One, two, three Oh I she will walk
Now, before we know it;
Hear her sweet-voiced baby-talk,
Little bird, or poet!
Prattling, toddling, there she goes,
Stepping off so proudly
Turning in her untaught toes,
Pleased, then laughing loudly.
First exploit of self-content;
Now she's growing bolder,
Strength and courage yet unspent,
One can hardly hold her
HShe so presses to advance
In her baby -learning
Pulls so Ah! by what mischance
In this overturning!
There lies baby on the floor,
Sprawling, rolling, screaming!
Are life's first attempts so poor!
Baby was but dreaming
When she felt so bold and strong;
Gladly now she's clinging
To the one whose soothing song
Back her smile is bringing.
Hurts are cured by mamma's Idas
Brave again as ever,
See, the plucky little miss
Makes her best endeavor;
Walks right off the darling pet
Rush now to caress her!
Come what will of first steps yet.
All good angels bless her!

"Oh, I couldn't think of divulging her
name," protested an ultra fashionable tailor,
following with his eyes the willowy figure of
a lady as she disappeared into the street. Her
mission to the clothing establishment had
been to order a full suit of male attire, and
the reporter was possessed of a morbid curi
osity to know who she could possibly be.
"Is she not a professional P
"Well, she is connected with the stage,"
rejoined the tailor, readjusting his glasses,
which had become dislocated on bis nose,
"and the most exacting little wretch about
her clothes that I ever saw. More particular
than a man? Yes. Everything has to be
just so, or she won't have it."
"Do yoa have other female customers for

"We have more than the general public
knows anything about. Ab, there it is!
What do they dor with men's clothes? I dare
say many of them wear them in the seclu
sion of home for comfort's sake. Now, take
a riding habit; it's no earthly good without
trousers, and if a woman once gets a complete
riding outfit she's spoiled forever. She be
comes irreparably addicted to the trousers
habit, and I never knew one that was re
deemed. It grows upon her gradually, until
the loose, baggy, riding trousers only aggra
vate her craving for an out and out pair of
pantaloons. It's a circus to hear the humble
requests that some of them make when they
come to order a suit for the first time. We
send them down stairs to a lady in our em
ploy, who takes their measure for a neat fit.
But many of them don't care whether the
pantaloons are close fitting or not, being a
little shy of the cutters that we can't break
of staring at them."
"Feminine dress is tending to simplicity,
is it not?"
"Yes. The styles are plain almost to
meagreness this spring. The waistcoat

already popular for street war.--straight

rather pleasing qjasculine effect. The tailors
make alUtbCse jackets, because the dress

the ladies. They can afford to pay for what

THE SITTING BULL MYTH
Explained by the Archaeologists of
the Twenty-First Century.
St Paul Pioneer Press.
Among the yarns with which this twenty
first century will be obliged to close with,
will be the record of a certain alleged visit of
one Sitting Bull, supposed t have been an
eminent savage and hair-lifter of his day, to
St. Paul and Minneapolis in the year of grace
1SSS4. In nineteenth century folk lore this
Paladin is represented as having broken a
treaty with the United States, massacred a
' detachment of its army, been captured, and,
later, brought to St. Paul, one of its largest
cities, entertained at a famous hostelrie, pre
sented with the freedom of that city in a gold
box studded with brilliants, worshiped by the
aldermen, feted by the common council,
shown the public schools, theatres, fire de
partment, etc., of that city, which decorously
went through their paces for his distinguished
approvaL
It will remain for the twenty-first century
archaeologist to explode all this. Ho will be
called upon to demonstrate that this Sitting
Bull was only a prominent solar myth; that
his massacre of the palefaces is a beautiful
allegory expressive of the surrender, at sun
set, of Day to N'ght, wherein the palefaces
who succumb represent the departing light,
and the ascendency of the dusky warriors
the coming on of Darkness. The archaeolo
gist will notice how slight a typographical
error had metamorphosed "setting" into "sit
ting," and the carelessness, which, by mis
printing "Boreas' (i. e. the North Wind
Blizzardum Americanum)"Bull," has actually
, misled three centuries.
"What could be more exquisite," will cry
our m y thologist, "than the allegory of return
ing Spring expressed the legend that on the
19th of March, 1S34, (that is, about tbe date
where the ides of March are surrendering to
the kalends of April) Sitting Bull visits Gen.
Terry at Fort Snelling." Here we have Sitting
Bull (the Sun, accompanied by tbe gentle
and invigorating Blizzard) visited the Earth
(Terra Terry) 1 the general or universal
mother. The visit occurs in the lapse or old
age (Senillaa Snelling) of strong (Fort) win
ter. Mark how the pictorial nineteenth cycle
speech here expresses the truth that when the
glorious sun pours its rays upon an awaken
ing earth, the gentle and invigorating Bliz
zard of April begins to get around, and
everything teems with life, and joy, and
springtime' la t

THE PRINCE OF FILIBUSTERS.
Tbe World-Wide Deeds of Gen.
lien
nlngscn, an Englishman.
Ben: Perley Poore.
The prince of filibusters, so far as
they were seen at Washington, was
Gen. Henningsen. He wa3 an English
man by birth, and, after having received
a military education, he left for Spain,
when 19 years of age, to serve in the
forces of Don Carlos, as a staff officer
of the part'san chief ZnmalacarrenL
After many acts of reckless heroism he
was captured, and on the death of the
partisan returned to England in 1835.
Two volumes from the youthful officer's
pen tell his story of a "Twelve Months'
Campaign with Zumalacarrequi." He
did not let his sword rust long in idle
ness. Schamyl, the prophet of Circassia,
had unfurled the banner of rebellion in
the Caucasus, and young Henningsen
promptly repaired to his ranks. Erom
the sunny vales of Spain to the snows
of Russia was a strange translation, but
it was sufficient for him that a weak
side needed a brave sword. Ilenning
sen's life in Russia furnished the mate
rial for half a dozen volumes, publ shed
at various periods when peace drove
him to enforced retirement. Such occa
sions were rare, however.
The Hungarian revolution of 184S
and 1849 found him serving with "dis
tinction under Kossuth, and he was ap
pointed governor of Comoon. Henning
sen achieved a European reputation in
the disastrous struggle and was lionized
on his return to England. Young,
handsome, with great literary talent,
honored with the friendship of Welling
ton, he still yearned for fresh fields of
adventure. He followed Kossuth to
America, where hii reputation had pre
ceded him, and society welcomed him
everywhere. He married a southern
widow lady, Mrs. Conelly, of Burke
county, Georgia, a niece of Senator
Berrien, a devoted and cultivated
woman. ' Eor a while he devoted him
self to literary work, and published
some once popular books of travel and
fiction. But the fingers, cramped by a
pen, were itching to grasp a sword-hilt,
and the opportunity soon presented it
self. The exploits of William Walker
in Central America were astounding the
world, and attracting to his side the
brave and adventurous of every land.
Never since the days of Cortez had the
world seen such a career as that of the
once "immortal" fifty-six who sailed
from California in a little vessel to con
quer an empire and imperil the peace
of two continents.
Henningsen threw himself into the
ranks of the American phalant with his
usual enthusiasm. His fortune and his
life were freely risked, and although
he lost the one and exposed the other
on a score of well-fought fields, he
never regretted his experience with the
so-called "Filibusters." "I feel
proud of having been one of them," he
wrote me, "and qu'etly glory in my
retirement at having been able to com
mand and control, besides securing
their personal devotion and attach
ment." His comrades he considered
the best soldiers the world ever saw,
and his experience entitled his opinion
to respect. They were mostly Cali
fornians. "California was the pick of
the world, and they were the pick
of California." Wit a only 276 fighting
men opposed to 4,000 allied Central
Americans, and encumbered with 300
or 400 non-combatants, Henningsen
held the Piaza of Granada for .ve-J
teen days and. njght-2 Gt incessant fight--'.Kiey
"were poorly sheltered or
'not at all, disease and death were
daily and hourly thinning their ranks,
but from leader or men there came not
a whisper of surrender:
Relief, ridiculously small in number,
but invincible of courage, came at last.
A hundred of those paladins whom
the world calls "filibusters" disem
barked from the lake steamer, and
with a cheer and a volley carried four
barricades and effected a junction with
their beleaguered comrades. Henning
sen leisurely evacuated and burned the
town, leaving his gage of defiance be
hind him a lance stuck among the
ruins with the taunting inscription:
"Aqui fue ' Granada." "Here v as
Granada." Then a United States navy
captain's interference compelled the
starving heroes to surrender, but
the Iliad of Central America was past
forever. During the early part of our
civil war, Gen. Henningsen commanded
the Wise Legion of Virginia. He was
rapidly achieving a distinction, war
ranted by his military fame in smaller
arenas, when he incurred the dis
pleasure of Jefferson Davis, who had a
singular genius for ignoring or sup
pressing the abilities of his subordin
ates. Henningsen had injudiciously
anticipated the verdict of posterity by
speaking contemptuously of Eavis, and
the latter could never forgive such
prescience. After peace, he lived
quietly in Washington, a general favor
ite wherever his amiable disposition
and stainless character were known
He was a warm and active friend of
"Cuba Libre." At ona time he visited
the "ever faithful isle," with a view to
taking a personal part in the insurrec
tion, but the opportunity did not come,
and he died in peace at home.

The brutal way in which Charles Del
monico was treated in New Jersey not even
afforded the shelter of a dog, repelled from
windows and gates, mocked by householders,
imploring men in carriages in vain, refused
Christian fire and the common intercourse
between speaking animals shows us that we
have allowed sensation to blind us to the use

beard and read so much of the terrors of
asylums that be ran away and froze to death.
False sentiment kept him only half watched
when he should have been put in some warm,
well-guarded hospital for the demented, for
which hi. large fortune provided all tin
means. When men become irresponsible,
they must be consigned to instrumental ities
fully responsible for them. Pit-ces like "The

of London sensationalists, helpjd to tjrrify

What Is Yonr Xumberf
New York Tribune.
A genius from Texas has written a bulky
pamphlet entitled "Magnitude in Order," to
show that ieople, places and tilings should be
distinguished by numbers instead of names.
"Suppose," he says to the prospective reader,
"at the time the census is taken you are
domiciled in Precinct No. 5, in Dallas county,
Texas. We will say Texas is No S3 on the
roll of states, and Dallas county No. 38, and
in your precinct roll you are No. 175. Then
your legal numbers (and trade-mark) would
be 33-38-5-175." Mr. Wolf's system has been
partially tried in many state prisons " with
signal success, though perhaps Le would
hardly like to urge that as an argument in
favor of it

A Priestess of Mammon.
Eagle City (Idaho) Cor. Chicago Tribune.
Amid the general din of the saloon,
and rising above the general confusion,
the clink of glasses against bottles, and
the tinkling sound of ivory chips, may
be heard the words, "Queen high,"
"pair kings," "bets two beans," and the
like, uttered in a soft but penetrating
voice which attract! one on entering
the door. Making my way to a corner
of the room, and elbowing a path
cautiously through a pack of men, I saw
a remarkable sight. Before one of the
ordinary poker-tables sat a woman of
no ordinary beauty. The traces of re
finement had not yet been obliterated
by coarse associations and reckless
dissipation. She was dressed in a
tight-fitting gown, fitt'ng about the
bust like the waist of a riding habit,
and adorned with . a double row of
staring gilt buttons. On her head
was a jaunty jockey cap of blue, but
its little visor shading a face whose
delicate lines and marked individ
uality would in any other place
have secured for its possessor immedi
ate notice as a cultivated, intellectual
power. Yet there she sat, dealing the
cards with a graceful ease born evi
dently of long practice in similar scenes.
Careless of the rough talk and ribald
jokes of the men the female gambler
dealt the cards, raked in the chips, paid
losses, replied to the sallies of the men,
and attended to business with a devil
ish insouciance and calmness which was
simply horrible. A more painful sight
I never saw, for there was a refinement
of wickedness about the scene which
robbed it of the vilenes i of the slums
and invested that woman in the corner
of a m'ning-camp gambling-house with
a horror which wa simply &atanical.

A large audience assembled at the
Crystal palace at Sydenham a few days
ago to hear Mr. Oscar Wilde's lecture on
his impressions of America. Mr. Wilde
(who has discarded knee breeches and
reassumed the prosaic trousers) said
that the Americans are the noblest
people in the world, whose national
occupation is , catching trains. Penn
sylvania, with its rocky gorges and
woodland scenery, reminded him of
Switzerland; the prairie of a brown
blotting paper. Everything is twice as
large as it should be; everywhere is
twice as far as it should be. " He visited
Leadville, the chief characteristic of
whose inhabitants is the constant use
of the revolver. He lectured to them
upon "Benvenuto Cellini, his Life and
Works," and was reproved by his
hearers for not having brought that
artist with him. The explanation that
he had been dead for some little time
elicited the inquiry, "Who shot him?"
Among the more elderly inhabitant!
of the south he found a melancholy
tendency to date every event of import
ance by the late war. "How beautiful
the" moon is to-night!" he once re
marked to a gentleman who was stand
ing next to him. "Yes," wa? the reply,
"but you should have feen it before
the war." So infinitesimal did he find
the knowledge of appreciation of art
west of the Bocky mountains, that an
old patron one who in his day had
been a miner actually sued the rail
road company for damages because the
plaster cast of Venus of Milo, which he
had imported from Taris, ; had been de
livered minus the arms! And, what
was more surprising still, he"gained his

A TRAGIC EVENT.
A Father's Despair and Self-inflicted
Death-Ills Son's Final Rescue
Too Late to Save Ills Parent.
i
The graphic occurrence that is described
below is one of the most remarkable epi
sodes in the domestic history of America.
It is absolute truth which can readily be
verified.
The inhabitants of the pleasant town of
Cortland, N. Y., were shocked one morn
ing by the announcement that Mr. Clinton
Rindge, one of their most prominent citi
zens, nad committed suicide. The news
spread rapidly and roused the entire
neighborhood where Mr. Rindge was so
well and favorably known. At first it
seemed impossible that any one so quiet
and domestic could do so rash a deed, and
the inquiry was heard on every side as to
the cause. The facts as developed on in
vestigation proved to be as follows:.
Mr. Rindge was domestic in his tastes
and took the greatest enjoyment In the
society of his children and pride in their
development. And indeed he had good
reason to be proud for they gave promise
of long lives of success and usefulness.
But an evil day came. His youngest son,
William, began to show signs of an early
decay. He felt unusually tired each day,
and would sometimes tleep the entire af
ternoon if permitted to do so. His head
Eained him, not acutely, but with a dull,
eavy feeling. There was a sinking sen
sation at the pit of his stomach, lie lost
all relish for food and much of his interest
for things about him. He tried manfully
to overcome these feelings, but thev
seemed stronger than his will. He began
to lose flesh rapidly. The father became
alarmed and consulted physicians as to
the cause of his son's illness, but they
were unable to explain. Finally severe
sores broke out on his arms and he was
taken to Buffalo where a painful opera
tion was performed resulting in the loss
of much blood but affording little relief.
The young man returned heme and a
council of physicians was called. After
an exhaustive examination they declared
there was no hope of final recovery and
that he must die within a very few" days.
To describe the agony which this an
nouncement caused the father would be
impossible. His mind failed to grasp its
full meaning at first; then finally seemed
to comprehend it, but the load was too
frreat. In an agony of frenzy he seized a
knife and took his own life, preferring
death rather than to survive his idolized
son. At that time William Rindge was
too weak to know what was transpiring.
His face had turned black, his breath
ceased entirely at times, and his friends
waited for his death believing that the
fiend Bright's disease of the kidneys, from
which he was suffering, could not be re
moved. In this supreme moment William's
sister came forward and declared she
would make a final attempt to save her
brother. Ihe doctors interposed, assur
ing her it was useless and that she would
only hasten the end by the means she
proposed to employ. But she was firm
and putting all back, appreached her
brother's side and administered a remedy
which she fortunately had on hand.
Within an hour he seemed more easy, and
before the day was over he showed signs
of decided improvement. These favora-
CTIJUC l v v., .........
B. Rindge is well, havin&r been virtually
raised from the dead tnrougn tne marvel
ous power of Warner's Safe Cure, as can
be readily verified by any citizen of Cort
land.
Any one who reflects upon the facts
above described must have a feeling of sad
ness. The father dead by his own hand,
supposing his son's recovery to be impos
sible; the son restored to health to mourn
the loss of his father and the agonized
relatives with a memory of sadness to
forever darken their lives. Had Clinton
Rindge kaown that his son could recover
he would to-dav be alive and happy, but
the facts which turned his brain and
caused him to commit suicide were such
as any one would accept as true.
However sad this case may be, the truth
remains that thousands of people are at
this moment in as great actual peril as
William Rindge and in as great danger of
causing misery if not death to their
friends. Liver and kidney diseases are
become the most common and most
dangerous of any or all modern- com
plaints, J. hey are the most deceptive in
their beginnings and horrible in their
final stages. They are far more deceptive
than Consumption, and can rarely be de
tected even by skillful physicians unless
a microscopic analysis be restored to, and
few doctors understand how to do this.
Their slightest approach or possibility of
approach should strike terror to the one
who is threatened as well as to all his
or her friends. These diseases have no
distinct symptoms, but come in the form
of lassitude, loss of appetite, aching
muscles and joints, dull headaches, nains
in the back, stomach and chest, sour
stomach, recurring signs of cold, irregu
lar pulsations of the heart, and frequent
dizziness. If neglected, these symptoms
arc certain to run into chronic kidney and
liver or Bright's disease, from which there
is sure to be a great amount of agony and
only one means of escape, which is by the
use of Warner s bate Cure. Ihe import
ance of taking this great remedy upon
the slightest appearance of any of the
above symptoms cannot be too strongly
impressed upon the minds of all readers
who desire to escape death and pain and
prolong life with all its pleasures and
blessings.

A WONDERFUL HOUSE.
The Red House (Trade Union) of Sacra
mento, Cal., appears in this issue of our
paper. Established in 1872, this was the
first house to set up "strictly one price,"
and the first to mark all goods in plain
figures. They have the largest Country
Order Department in the State of Califor
nia and employ an immense number of ex
pert salesmen. Their stores cover over 13,
000 square feet of floor room, with nearly
two miles of shelving. From a small be
ginning this establishment has become
one of the largest retail concerns on the
coast and has won the confidence of the
people by fair dealing. They carry a large
stock of general merchandise, including
nearly every thing that any ordinary per
son (man, women or child) needs, from a
necktie to an overcoat, with boots, gloves
and hat ; or from a spool of cotton to a
silk dress and bonnet. They issue a large
and finely illustrated catalogue and price
list which is sent free to all who apply for
it. This is truly a wonderful house and
fully entitled to its well.earned reputation.
