man with such eccentric notion.
"It wa eleven vcam later when I raw

" 'Don't want it paid!' ho insisted. 'If

ple won't want tho cold. 1 went through
tho panio of 'JIT, and it wan just so then.'
"I said, 'but then both tho people and
tho hank had asset. Now tho nsscts
aro used up. That panic was caused by
a long war, and by tho actual exhaustion
of tho national resource.' 1 failed to
convince him, of course."
And thi story of l'rofesior Denalow'
remind mo of tho method by which
Bcilhoimer got on the Tribune ton years
ago. "I brought a letter from my uncle,
Thud. Htovon," miid Hcilheiiner, "and
up to Greeloy'H cuhby-holo 1 went.
There ho sat with hi chair titled for
ward, writing away rapidly, with hi
paper close to hi noso. Tho boy thrust
my card between hi noso ami tho paiior,
but ho knocked it away mul wroto on
without looking up, I waited until 1

When Young wanted him to aign mii

try that with Htovon' letter to him which
lay on tho desk unopened. 1 opened it,
uud alowly alid it along on tho desk from
tho right, the signature uppermost. Ilo
took no notice. 1 cautiously pushed it a
littlo further. Horatoh,aerntch,Boriitch
ho wa oblivion. I timidly advanced tho
document till itn edge overlapped hi writ

next tinio ho pushed it away an inch or

whon ho reached for ink, 1 deliberately

merely aaying, in n high, hhrlll voice,
'How' Thud V 1 told htm, mul that I

Lieutenant Pmtt montioned to the old

wanted. Chijtco replied that ho did not
wish tho hear any Y asitington tunc; tlmt
ho wiinteil no education for his jcop!e,
nor no ploughs, and simply wanted to bo
let alone. He emphatically declined to
attend tho proposed oouforonoo nt Fort

old-stvlo Kentucky ritle and bows and

arrow into a tree 100 yards distant. Tho
conference at Fort Myors was n failure,
and indicated the distrust which tho In
dian felt toward tho w bites. A party of

tant and declined to shako hands, and said

their ancient hatred of tho whites, re
fused food and tobacco from Lieutenant
Pratt, stating tlmt thoy could buy what
thoy wanted. The progress mado by the
Indian was quite marked within tlvo
yours, now living in comfortable houses
and raising cattle. Their revenues from
sales of buckskins, pelts, hogs, eattlo and
produce amounted to 80000 per annum.
Whiskv is their most deadly enemy.
Tho olil men oppose education. At tho
annual given -corn ihuico their chiefs uro
olected and laws mado. Among them
there aro Iml few- of mixed blood, and the
women are notably correct in their mor
ula. They frequently indulge iu tho Indian
propensity of stealing cattle nnd hogs,

Tho Constitution oi llurnln provulos ror
tho representation of tho beminoles iu

these Indians lutvo invariably deoliued
to avail tliomselvo of these provisions.
In 1871 tho Methodist doiiomination
tried to induce civilised ways, but with
out Mul-cobi. Tho tribes preferred their
own way mul to bo let alono. They livo
apart from the whitos and strenuously
oppose removal to tho Indian country.

Finances of the Household.
A man may be a capital financier, capa
ble of managing tho interests of a store,
factory or railroad, so as to havo tho bal
ance of loaves und profits always on the
rijrht side, but when he undertakes to
buy hats for his wife, shoes for tho baby,
and sulcratus for ttie cook, to prevent
their being cheated, he makes a lamenta
ble failure. It is out of his profession, let
us call it, which a man who has anything
else to do tins uo time to muster, and he
onlv makes himself ridiculous by pre
tending that he has mastered it. He
might with equal propriety set up for his
own tailor and shoemaker in order to cut
down expenses.
Some men realizing this diiliciilty seek
to avoid it by not kuowinj: or trying not
to know anvthing about their household
expenses. While all other financial leak
uses are scrupulously watched und closed
ou tho instant the" butcher and grocer
are allowed to run up their accounts at
will, and havo them cashed monthly or
quarteily in a lump, without question as
to the items. Tho provisions aro sent to
tho kitchen and the bills to tho office.
Tho husband has uo leisure and the wife
no inclination to see whether tho goods
nro tho best or tho prices the lowest tho
market affords. Having no special re
sponsibility in the matter oue Way or the
other, the housekeeper very naturally
gives her attention to matters more inter
esting, and here it is, if anywhere, that
"tho wife throws out at tho window faster
llnm the husband can carry iu at tho
door." Between excessive interference

Knowing exactly what she has to depend

cordingly, and lay by a certain amount
for each urticlo needed. Thus made re

ces, sho will feel more independent, will

Tlio Hones of Colnmbtn.
It will bo rcmcmltorod that about two
years ngo it was announcod that tho re
mains of Colnmbtis had been discovered
inn cathedral church of Santo Domingo,
whero it is certain thoy woro interred in
1510, and from which place it is lwlioved
thoy wero transferred to Havana in
17D5, upon tho occasion of the cession of
Hanto JDorningo to tho French. Tho
ovidenco in tho case was referred by tho
Hpaniah Government to tho Iioynl
Academy of History of Madrid,, which
has just mado its report, nverso to tho
alleged discovery; and tho ground for
tho decision aro clearly sot forth in a
monograph by tho celobrated publicist,
Hir Tnvvcrs Twiss. Tlio transference of
the remains in 1705 was made with tho
utmost caution and with great formality
and solemnity, so that it would rcqniro
overwhelming proof to conclndo that a
blunder had been made, and tho wrong
bodv had been carried. Now, thoaar
copLagns discovered in 1877 was, it is
true, inscriltcd with tho name ''Christo
vnl Colo.i," but ho is called "Huron"
which title tho great admiral did not
ltear, whilo his grandson of tho samo
name, who, it is known, was also buried
in this church, was, through his mother,
of noble lineage. Tlioro nro scvoral
other inscriptions on and within tho sar
cophagus, mostly abbreviated, and ono
(J).de la A. per) has lteen interpreted as
IJescubridor do la America, Primor
Almirontc. It is easy to show that tho
grandson of Columbus, in tho inscription
upon his body, would never havo spoken
of tho Now World as America a namo
which was never used in Spain until
1572, and which tlio family of Columbus
would havo Ijeen tho lost to adopt. Tho
letters of tho inscriptions, moreover, do
not belong to tho period at which tho
body was dojiosited there. On tho whole
tho reader c inot hut ngno with Hir
Trovers Twiss "that tho evidence at
present forthcoming is insufficient to
displace tho established lielief." Ho ap
parently docs not think it a part of his
dnty to do more than establish this nega
tive conclusion; for, although ho hints
at fraud, ho docs not make any direct
charge. Ho does, however, show a mo
tive on the part of the Bishop of Oropo,
tho voucher of tho discovery. "Tho re
port (of the Academy) snggests that tho
judgment of tho Bishop of Oropo may
have been nndnly biased by his uesiro to
secure the beatification df the great Ad
miral, respecting which a postulant has
already submitted his petition to tho
Holy See, and by his hopo that tho
shrine of Columbus in Santo Domingo
would become a pluco of pilgrimage for
mariners, as famous in its way as tlio
shrine of St. James the elder, at Comwos-

As lliey Average.
The average boy believes that ho may
lto happy when he is a man and can do as
he likes; tho average man finds that ho
cannot do as he likes, and sighs to think
he was not aware of tho fact when ho was
a boy.
The average maiden imagines tliat most
husbands aro indifferent to their wives,
and that a wife may keep a man a lover
until ho is old cnongh to die; tho average
wife finds it altout all she can do to bear
and traiu her children, cook, wash, sew,
keep her house in "half decent order,"
and twice a year visit her mother, who
lives six miles away.
Tlio average teacher imagines that
never yet was ono so tried as he, nor had
a harder lot and endnred it better; the
average parent of tho nvorugo scholar
thinks that in some things tha present
teacher might bo improved on.
The average spinster iwlieves that no
body but herself knows just how to bring
up children; while tho ugod grandmother
realizes that most pooplo havo to bring
up two beforo they can know how to
bring up ono properly.
The averago man or woman who has
never had the care of children wonders
"how jteoplo can havo their houses so
cluttered up and budgets in overy chair,"
nnd they imagine that a ltorsou's bump
of onler must bo small indeed who can
not successfully manage by moral suasion
miy fivo ordinary boys and girls.
Those who lovo and havo care of chil

jteople, but must have both playthings
and pots, and physical as well as mental
oxerciso, oven though they may bo a
budget in overy chair, and muddy foot
