THE OREGON STATESMAN FRIDAY JULY 9, 1886. 3 BY AS INDIAN GIRL. Essay Read by a Member of the Grad uating: CIuhs of the Indian School at Cbenicwa on June 80. The following etmay was .Tead by Mias Lucy Jonas, a member of the claw that graduated from the Indian training school at Chemawa on Wednesday, June 30th. The laniftiaize, harring a few cor-J rectionn in pram mar, orthography and punctuation, in as hy Mis Jonea. The essay -was eulocted by a Statesman re porter as an average of the orations and essays delivered and read by the nineteen members of tho class : LONG TIME AGO. , How were our Indians a long time ago? They were in ignorance, and did not do any good things. Our fathers and mothers were in darkness, wickedness, and cruelty ; and their children eoom to be following their fathers' and mothers' ways The Indians were not civilized people, that is they had no written books or well organized society, or dexterity, manufnc tures, or agriculture. They lived mainly by hunting and flBhine, and dressed in skins, and made bows and arrows. More than this they did not know. Women among Indians were regarded as drudges, whose obliga tions were to save man from the degra dations of labor. The women dressed food, tilled little patches of ground, and took charge of the wigwams. The In dians had not the rudiments of civiliza- tion in their character ; no sense of the obligation of law. They had no capacity for settled industry. 1 remember long ago, when I was a little girl, I used to see the Indians traveling around the moun tains where they could get food by hunt ing: deer, buffalo, etc. The men and -women grew in gambling, and vice, also they were very atrocious Indians; but they did not know if it were wrong for them to do that or not ; neither did they know anything about our Heavenly Father. ' They used to worship idols, dance and drink whisky and have good times in their lives. What is the difference between the past time and the present? Borne Indian children are now educated more like the whites. We are being well educated, that we may lead our poor people from the wildness, ungratefulness, and wickedness. I am very glad that onr poor parents sent us to this school to learn some important tilings that we never could learn at home. Now, boys and girls, let us try our best while we have the opportunity in this industrial school to do what we think is good and beneficial to us, and what we can for our poor llhteiate people at home. We children ought to feel bad about our poor ignorant folks; and remember how cruel they were, and how they used to scalp their foes, and cherish the scalps as trophies, and urn them as decorations for their bridles. They could show no fear even at their bodies. They prided them selves en their stoicism. And think how wicked the Indians were long ago. So, children, let us try mora ech Jay to nut off the ignorance and ungratefulness, that we may become a civilized, sedulous and grateful children, 15v hard work then, we cun be able to get a good edu cation, while we have a good opportunity here. Our parents are waiting for us to get home that we may aa vine tuem to do what we think is beneficial for them, that thev imiy live a happier life, than they have been living for a long time. Let us continue to he good. We can be good just as well as the whites' children, 8 we only continuously try .harder to do what is right, while we have the chance. Wa must" take the new ways, and try hard to learn cur lessons, while our teachers are trying hard to teach and educate us, that we may acquire .knowl edge each day, and we children ouylit to mind our teachers and do our little works efficiently in what ever they want us to do. Let us do it with all onr might. Its for our benefit only. If we Indian children try hard, we can be improved, and do good junt as well as the white people after a while. When we so out from this school let us not forget our many privileges, especially what we have been tmitrlit bv our kind teachers in the past, also remember their friendly treat ment toward us. Hence try more and more each dav, if we succeed, but try atcain. Often times I look back; how poor I was when I was at home, I hardly knew how to talk English; ungrateful, selfish and unkind I was to my friends, following the Indian ways. If I were still at home, I wouldn't be as I am now There can be no doubt that the Indian race has progressed during the last fifty years; and now that the government has offered its assistance, there are still more opportunities, wider fields and greater advantages spread out before the Indians. If the present generation chooses to improve these golden oppor tunities, and ue their influence over the younger one's there can be no reason why the Indians enouiu not necome as en lightened, as civilized and as refined as the other nations. HE RISKS THE COLLECTIONS. .1 saw the biggest and meanest lie in the Indianapolis Journal this morning that was ever published on a man or devil. It was copied from the New York Star, and it said that Sam Jones asks tl.000 a week for his services, and de manded $3,000 from the people of Omaha before he would come there. I never had bat one place trv to price me or ask for my terms, and that was Baltimore. They wrote me : "Give us your figures," and I answered, if my going there necessitated me making a charge, I would not step inside of their city ; and I said that it you Christians of Baltimore would pitch in and help me save souls for Christ I won't charge you anything, but if you don't I'll dig you pretty heavy. I never made a contract about going. to a place under the sun,' and never said a word about money in my life: That paper thut said I did laid itself liable to a libel suit, for it damaged my character as a minister. It is a scandalous libel on a man who never made a charge in his life for his work. I say, this much liecause it not only hurts me but thorn whom I might benefit. 1 wouldn't go to hear a preacher who demanded a guarantee. Sam Jones in Indiauaolis. THE ROYAL SPANISH KUBSE. The royal nurse has been chosen at last, and the substitute too, for I forgot to mention in my last letter that the royal nurse, like all other great artists, must have a substitute. The chief nurse, then, is a beautiful and robust girl of twenty six years, a resident of lleras, a small town at the foot of the Camargo rock, in the province of Bantander. She is a tall brunette, with large liquid eyes and an abundance of splendid black hair. This privileged creature, who fur a time is to dwell in tho palace of Charles V, lived a few weeks ago in a dingy hovel, and was so oor that she had to borrow the $10 to go to Santander. Her name is Maxim um Pedaaja. Her substitute, whose name is Adelaide Soto, is twenty-four years of age, and is in no way remarkable. She is also a native of Santander. The rejected nurses have no cause la com plain. They will return to their homes in the course of a week, and will each re ceive by way of compennation and as a mark of esteem, a 1,000-franc check. Among the applicants who presented themselves was the beautiful Dona Ven ancia Pellon, twenty-five years of age, and the wife of a merchant of the city of Selava, who is wrth over 300,000 f ranees. Dona Venancia had no desire for money or gifts, but she cherished the ambition to be the nurse of the royal infant. Madrid letter to Paris Figaro. VERDICT OF A NEGRO JURY. Colonel Alfred Aldrich of Barnwell, S. C, tells a good one illustrative of the sadden ascendency to power of the negro in that state during the days of recon struction. A prominent farmer of Beaufort dis trict had conclusive evidence that one of his negro tenants was stealing largely from him. A warrant was issued for the arrest of the negro, and his case was brought to trial before a newly-appointed negro justice of the peace, who summoned a jury oi nis own color to pass judg ment on the trial. The trial was a brief one. and the evidence was so overwhelm ing and conclusive against the defendant tlmt the justice sent the jury out with the statement that the case was so plain that it was not necessary for him to charge them as to their duty. Alter a lew minntes consultation the jury returned and the foreman announced that they had agreed. "Wat is your verdic r "We find Mr. guilty." The announcement was a shock to the room, as Mr. was the plaintiff. ' "You fools," exclaimed the indignant justice, co back and bring a verdic' ereeable wid ae lac s. The astonished jury withdrew, and in a few minutes again returned with smil ing countenances. "Well, is you ready?" asked the ma- hoirany-hued Juclce. "Yes. sir; we fin' Mr. not guilty, but guilty of accusin'." Atlanta Con stitution. . CROWDING OUT FREE TRADE. Free trade is losing its hold in Yale College. The chair of political economy in that inBtitution is filled by Pro. Sum ner, an ultra and bigoted free trader Last winter, in obedience to repeated re quests from the patrons ol the college to give the other side a hearing, the Yale trustees invited Prof. Robert Ellis Thompson of the University of Pennsyl vania to deliver a course oi lectures on the merits of protection and free trade Some of the fruits of this new departure are already shown. Last vear l ale s graduating class com prised fifty-eight free "traders, forty-four protectionists, and twenty-one undecided, This year's graduates comprise fifty free traders, sixty protectionists, and thirty two undecided, the protectionists making a handsome increase and the free traders a decrease. St. Louis Republican. A MODEL SPEECH. Senator Edmunds made a model speech on last lucsdar. renate Din, 1,417, to provide for the deposit of the savings of United States seamen, was considered as in committee of the whole. The clerk read the bill. The record then gives the further proceedings as follows : Mr. Jdmunds lhat is a good bill, 1 think. The bill was reported to the senate without amendment, ordered to be en grossed for a third reading, read the third time and passed. Here was a good, pointed speech of seven words, all mono syllables, covering the ground and result ing in the immediate and complete suc cess of the measure. Would that such speeches were more common. N. Y, Commercial Advertiser. A RIVAL TO RUBBER. India-rubber is threatened with a ri val. The rubber dealers of eastern Nicaragua think they have discovered a tree whose gum will give as much satis faction as rubber, and will, in fact take its place. They say that the milk of the tuno furnishes a most excellent guttapercha, equal to the best found in the eastern tropics, while the number of trees is virtually inexhaustible, and the gum can be produced with a profit at twelve cents a pound. " A man living near Tampa, Fla., was bitten on the leg by a rattlesnake. A doctor was at once sent for, and the leg was bandaged tightly above the wound, although it was thought that the man would die before medical assistance could he procured. The leg having been bared for the application of the bandage, was attacked by a swarm of mosquitoes. When the physician finally arrived, he found the man in good condition, but the ground around where he lay was strewn with dead mosquitoes. "My dear," said an anxious wife to her husband, who is running for office, "we must economize." in every pos sible way." "I do economize, he replied. "Yes," she said bitterly, "you spend $10 or a day in treating a lot of bar-room loafers to beer and whisky just to get tliem to vote for you. Do you call that economy?"

One of the down trains on the Brooklyn elevated railroad rattled up to the Tomp kins avenue station on Saturday night and simultaneously an np train, pulled in at the same station. A well-dressed young man, who was 'evidently very much excited stood on the rear platform of the second car of the np train, When it stopped he tried to climb over the gate which opened toward the track, but tho brakeman held him back. "Let me go old fellow," whispered the young man. "I'm after somebody." Thinking that the excited passenger was bent on ending tiis life by throwing himself under the wheels of the engine which was approaching the brakeman seized him around the waist and lifted him to the other side of the platform. As the brakeman was about to null the 'bell cord the young man quickly threw back the gate and was on the platform of the other car just as both trains left the station. Then the young man had to meet the objections of the brakeman of the down train. A reporter of the Sun stood on the platform and heard the ex planation of the excited passenger. "You see," said be, as he patted the brakeman on the back, "I just came np on that train, and I sat by the window as we stopped at rranklin avenue station. Something I don't know what it was prompted me to look up from my pa per at that moment, l glanced out of the window and what do you suppose was the first object I saw ?" The brakeman, who had become some what interested, thought a moment, and the suggested the ticket-taker. ".No," said, the young man, as he wrinkled his brow. "No.it was not the ticket-taker, but my wife my wife, sir with another man, and I'm after her and I'm after him. They will get on this train, and I will have them dead to rights." The reporter looked down the track, and sure enough, a lady stood on the platform apparently in earnest conversa- witn her male escort, who wore a glos high hat and a swell suit of clothes. When the train stopped the swell gentle man and the young lady stepped on the car and were suddenly confronted by the wronged husband, who stepped from be hind the brakeman with the exclama tion: "Well, sir ; now I have you !' lhe young man was about to lay vio lent hands on the gentleman when, mnch to his surprise, he found that -he had made a mistake. "Well, sir, now that you have me. what do you propose to do with me 7" "Oh, I beg a thousand pardons!" re turned the wronged husband. "I've made a mistake. I thought I thought I thought " "What da you mean, sir; what did you think?" asked the stranger not a lit tle aroused. "He thought that you were some other fellow," volunteered the brakeman with a grin, "and that the lady was his wife. You get on to it, don't you?" By the time the gentleman "got on' the hasty passenger had got off, and as he disappeared down the steps toward the street these words came back indis tinctly as the train went on : "I'm a blooming idiot!"

"Old John said that his father lived in the back woods of North Carolina, and the first two-horse wagon ha ever saw he took after it. He became so absorbed in the question of how far it would run before the big wheels overtook the little ones that he followed it clear to Augusta, Ua., before he gave out and had to stop. lie didn't know the way back and had to stay."

A woman had poisoned her husband At the autopsy the physician found bo much arsenic in the stomach of the deceased that he exclaimed, while giv ing his testimony : "Why, your honor, the body contained poison enough to kill five men."

Friends of Ex-President Arthur are Tory much disquieted. ui coarse he is not going to die I tie is in the hands of a verv particular phy sician. His doctor does not call it Brieht's disease! No; it is stomach disorder that he is suffering from now. and every few Itours he takes a cold, and from time to time many other symptoms are developed. These symptoms the public should know are really secondary to Bright's disease.

Onr reporter met this eenUeroaa yes terday and in conversation about the General's ease, he said : " I will give $6,000 to aay charitable institution in the State of New York. to be designated bv the editor ef the New York World, the editor of the Buffalo Ktux and W.

Warner, proprietor of Warner's Safa Cure, of this city. Mr. Warner also said : " My dear sir. there are governors, senators, presiden tial candidates, members of congress. prominent men and women all over the country whom I personally know havs been cured of disease, such as General Arthur suffers from, by our Warner's Safe Cure, but, owing to the circles in which they move, they do not care to give public testimonial to the fact." Mr. Warner is interested in General Arthur's case because he is personally acquainted with him, and he says that it is a shame that any man should be allowed to die under the operation of old-fashioned powerful cathartics, which have no curative effects, rather than that a modern, conceded specific for kidney disease, whose worth is acknowl edged world-wide, should save him "If you doubt the efficacy of War ner's Safe Cure," say the proprietors, " ask your friends and neighbors about it. This is asking but little. 1 hey .can tell vou all you want to know." . "We have kept a standing offer before the public for four years," savs Mr Warner, "that we will give $5,000 to anv person who can successfully dis uio uie gKliuuii'iitrBB, u mi ud no auun , of the testimonials we publish, and none have done it. Were General Arthur a poor man, unable to be left " in the hands of his physician," he would tine that great remedy, aa many thousands of others have done, and get well. How absurd then for people to sav that everything that can be done is being done for the ex -president, when the one successful remedy in the world that has cured, or that can cure a case like his, has not been used by them. Rochester, N. Y., Union and Advertiser. A LOST BONANZA. A curio well worth having if it could be unearthed, is said to be buried some where in this valley. It is nothing more or less than an Indian mortar of solid gold, and was planted in the grave of an old Indian cliiet many moons ago. Ira- dition has it as being about the size of a common water bucket, hollowed out and rudely carved, and, judging Irom ac counts, would weigh nearly fifty pounds The Indians say the siiecimen was dis covered by the chieftain's daughter in the lava beds at the base of Lassen's Butte. With those aborigines it pos sessed no value, except that of being easi ly hammered into any shape desired, be ing in the form of a utensil so highly prized in those days. The figure of a bear was rudely engraved on its outer surface, with an Indian in full pursuit. The bowl was never jiermilted to be used outside of tne sachem s family, and was a sacred svmhol to the whola tribe. When the old warrior died It was his re quest to be buried apart from the general burying-ground and to be laid away with the precious jar securely at his side, and the beliest was heeded, itie medicine man invoked the wrath of the Great Spirit upon the head of the brave who should disclose to neighboring tribes the whereabouts of the treasura grave, and to this dav the spot has never been mo lested. The Indians themselves have often sought for the golden mortar, but without success, lwo or three genera tions have passed away since the treasure was hidden, and it is now only a matter of tradition, but the Indians (irmiy ad here to the belief that some dy Hit- precious lar will te nneartiil It is supposed to lie somewhere in tim vicin ity of the Upper Fitllsuf Fall river, and should it ever be found some one will iKwsess a bonanza.
