A Canadian Paper Clearly Hentoastrates the Dead Warrior's Claims to be a Darling of the Heroic History of the Nations of the Earth. • Newspapers in t he United States aro congratulating themselves just now upon the fact that at last Sitting Bull is "a good Indian." And so uo doubt the Persian monarch spoke of Leonidas, and English Edward of Wallace. For nei- ther Leonidas nor Wallace nor any other darling of history ever di -played More noble courage or more lofty pa- triotism than did the great wet- chief of the Sioux. Of all the later Indian na- tions, the Sioux were the greatest. They refused to make terms with the govern- ment, refuse.l to surrender their lauds, refused to go upon 108(1 Vatitnts, and re- fused to accept annuities. By a solenul treaty with the Uuite•1 Stale + govern- ment they retaiue,l the tilacic 1 [: L1 coun- try as their domain, where they support- ed themselves', and wire re y asktcl neitheraid nor pity from the white man. The land to them was holy ground. In certain parts of it they had been accust- omed to meet to obset ve their Most sol- emn religious ceremonies. The thunder which rolled through the savage canons of their Clark 1nu1lltains \vas to tlleut the awful voice of Omnipotence; and they believe' that any elan, red or white, who dared to venture into those mysterious reces:;0.4 at other times, or for other than religious purposes, would be slain by the vengeful lightnings of the offended deity. Outside of the hallowod spot tliey hunted game 118 of old, and lived iu proud iudepoudence of the United States government. On the other hand the government pledged its solemn faith that the lauds of the Sioux should bo respected. But in course of time it became known that gold was to be found in the Black Hills. The faith of the eovernnout and the rights of the Indians were alike held of no account when gold was in eight. Modifying the dictum of a former chief justice of the United States, the presi- dent held that the red men had no rights which white men were bound to re- spect, and ordered Gen. Custer to take a military f.n'eo and explore the country into which it had been promised no troops should be sent and no settlers should be permitted to go. And so Custer and his cavalry went gallantly into the Black Ilills country. On the prairie they found the grass tall and green, and gay with flowers they had not seen before. Among the hills the crags were black, savage and silent. But nowhere was an Indian seen. Ten thousand Sioux, men, women and chil- dren, were in the country; but they disappeared from sight as the troopers filed through the land. Custer return- ed and reported the wonderful things he had seen, and then the trainers flock- ed into the hills and settlers invaded the plains. The government tore up its treaty with the Sioux, and ordered ttilat the whole nation should be trans- ferred to the Indian territory. The Sioux refused to go, and prepared for war. Then tate government fitted ou an expedition of 1,100 or 1,200 cavalry, andsent Custer and Reno again into the land to punishtho Indians, who thought they wore entitled to their own country, and who proposed to fight for it. The hostile forces niet on the Little Rosebud, and of Custer's force not one elan lived to tell the tale. Reno lay trembling in his lair two or three miles away listen- ing to the fight, and made no serious at- tempt to go to the relief of his com- rades. Then troops flocked into the country in thousands. Sitting Bull made a gallant defense, and pro- tracted the war for more than a year; but at last he and the remnant of his band were forced across the line into Canada. It was the poor miserable wreck of a once Mighty nation. Our Government could not undertake to maintain these fugitives, and they could not maintain themselves. At last they consented to go back to the United States and settle upon a rcderve. The Uuited States go' • a'nineet agreed to give them food; and they agreed to drop their wandering life and settle down. Of course, they were robbed and starved. The appropriation would have sufficed to maintain them in luxury, but the supplies they actually received failed to keep starvation from their lodges. Their braves grew thiu and weak; their women and children perished of hunger. Then the warriors said it would be bet- ter to die like men with arms in their bands than to be starved like pauper::. And so they began to prepare for war. A few gaunt, hunted, deceived, robbed, betrayed skeletons began to take up arms against sixty millions of people. There could be but one end to that; it was the tragedy of despairing weakness rushing upon assured destruction. It was a farce made awful, by tears of blood. Sitting Bull was kills.!. His sou was killed. The nation of the Sioux has ceased to exist. -Hamilton Spectator. The Volumes of the Bazar begin with the first Number for January of each year.

If woman could ever learn that it is quite possible to combine affability with dignity id commonplace daily inter- course with their fellow -creatures, this would be a far brighter and more agree- able world. Nine -tenths of the gentle- women one knows would no more ad- dress an unintroduced female than bite off a bit of their own tongues. Not once in a blue moon do they dare con- verse with their servants, the clerk be- hind the counter, the chance companion of a railway journey, or even the lady who has dropped in to call en a mutual friend. Awkwardnes and timidity,with a sense of alleged well- bred reserve, seal their lips to every form of communication. In their shy- ness and stupid fear of furnishing an opportunity for undue familiarity, they go through life like oysters, as far as triose outside their narrow circle are concerned. But thank Heaven! there is a woman, and her tribe is increasing, who realizes all of the beautiful oppor- tunities and rights the gift of speech gives her. She can afford to talk to her domestics about any and every• thing, and cement their affectionate respect with every word uttered. Her kindly recognition of the shop girl and fragrant pleasant gossip across the yard stick is a wholesome break in the clerk's dull day. To sit beside a respectable female for an hour's train travel, and not exchange greet- ing as two human beings touching in their journey of life, would confound her kindly nature. She is sure of her dignity and, strong in its integrity, affords to do what possibly a leas fine- grained nature shrinks to essay. Her friendly, well chosen words are as far removed from volubility as her cordial manners are from gush. Recognizing the power of speech as tho most potent of spells for removing dull, unlovely dis- content, embarrassment, and loneliness, she is free with worthy thoughts graci- ously expressed. It is noticeable that such women never leave drawing -room, kitchen, shop or coach that every other creature of her kind present does not acknowledge to herself the supreme ex- cellence of courtesy above all other femi- nine charms. What to Do With Old Stamps. A correspondent of the New York Press says: -Paragraphs have been often published and the question nsked what becomes of old stamps and why are they gathered? Here is a statement whose truth is beyond doubt: In Loclo, Switzerland, exists an orphan asylum for girls which in 1888 received over a million of eternise. The children are made to assort then in packages of one hundred, and they were sold for £210, quite an item in a country where Money is more valuable than in America. A circular issued by the directors of the asylum says that the hest and most rare are sold to dealers for collectors, whose number is millions; the others are used for decorative works. Screens, frames and even rooms have been papel'ed with them. In 14891 he stamps sent produced 1800 francs or r2t10.

Ili ''d MacQueary, a presbyter of u Episcopal Church in the dioc. Ohio, is to be tried for het' u Cleveland, before an occlosi, 1 court. In will be remembered a few months ago Mr. Mad.; v published e book in whir u asserted that Christ was not 1, 1' a Virgin, and that his physical v was not raised from the dead t t the came time he strongly ase his belief in the Divinity of (1, -t and lin His resurrection Irot dead. The book at once a, 4 sensation in the Episcopal Ch 11, and was generally denounced I only from its statements on a -e tiro points, but for its general of rationalism and doubt. '1..0 author's aim was to trace then 1 evulutiou of man and Christi 1, and in doing HO he felt ht, if obliged to throw ovellweld t, 1 y of the traditional beliefs t lie Church. Her Telltug MotoO14te. Recently a woman entered a suburban telegraph office and said to the receiver of messages that she desired to telegrapb her husband, who was in the country, for money, says the Loudon Tid-Bits. He pointed her to the counter supplied with blanks and told her the rate for a dozen words. She struggled away for a quarter of an hour and then }landed in the following: "Won't you please send me five pounds by next post?" "'don't know whether that will do or not," she said, as she felt for her money. "If you were to received such a tele rain front your wife would you forward the money?" "Well -well, I might," lie replied in doubtful tones. "Now, you wait. I don't like the tele- gram at all, became) I tried to keep it within twelve words. I'll write anoth- er." Site tore it up, walked over to the counter and in three minutes handed in a new one reading: "Am out of food and fuel and want £5 as soon as you can get it hero. If you can't spare it I'll pawn the parlor carpet." "That would bring the looney front ale," said the receiver, as he read the lines and marked the number of words. "Then it will from him. Send it quick." It was hoped by some the: 3t r. MacQuoary, who is a young i..u. would be frightened by the -Ir illi of denunciation that bloke uv• 1 his head, and withdraw the expel smells that provoked criticism. But he declared that he could not withdraw what he still believed, 'i'lu u re- presentative clergymen of nil schools of thought besought him to do what he could to avoid the necessity of a trial , and as a result of this it 1N understood that 511 IntOttitttl con - formica between eon10 Ohio Epieco- •paliaus and Mr. :1lacQueary was recently held. But it was found that no compromise was possible, and so the trial will take place. As will be seen, the questiuus et issue are vital in tiled' character, and concern all the churches. Fur, in the last !malteie, they involve the attitude of the so-called F,vaugo Heal deuoulivations toward modern Biblical criticism. Al r. Alac(,Zueary denies the Virgin birth and the physical resurrection of the Savior on the ground that modern Biblical criticism throws grave doubts on the genuineness of the passages in the gospels which relate these as filets. He may be mistaken iu this; Biblical criticism may not have said its last word about these passages ; or if it has Mr. MncQueary may have failed to interpret it truly. If that bo so, then ho will have arrayed against him, not only his church, but the conclusions of criti- cism, and Le will be summarily ruled out of court. The Wooden Shoe Trade. "Are there many wooden shoes sold in Cincinnati? was the query the report- er addressed to a dealer in the article. "There are 10,000 pairs sold annually, at an average price of 25 cents a pair. "Where are they made?' "In Indiana, chiefly. A solid block of poplar wood is shaped on the out- side with draw -knives, and the cavity for the foot is gouged out with peculi- arly shaped instruments." "Are they warm and lights "Yes, more so than leather. A man with wooden shoes on his feet appears clumsy, but he is wise and feels com- fortable." "Who buy most of thorn!" "Dairymen, gardeners, street -car drivers, and actors. For wear where the feet will be subject to dampness nothing is better and there is nothing On earth that can equal then for making a Packet when containing the nimble feet of a skilled clog dancer on a polish- ed stage floor." "'When is the trade in thein at its best?" "Just at the opening of winter, when slush and mud become colnnlon."-Cie- cinnati Times Star. The Ocean Undertow. Doubtless we have heard a great deal about this "undertow" as though it were some mysterious force working from the recesses of a treacherous ocean to draw unwary bathers to their doom, writes Duffield Osborne, in Scribner's. As a platter of fact its presence is ob- viously natural and the explanation of it more than simple. As each wave rolls in and breaks upon the beach, the volume of water which it carries does not remain there and sink in the sand; it flows back again, and, as the succeeding wave breaks over it, the receding one forms an under current flowing outward of strength proportionate to the body of water contained in each breaker, and, again, proportionate in a great measure to the depth of the ditch. Where this latter is an appreciable depression, it can be readily seen that the water of re- ceding waves will flow into it with similar effect to that of water going over a fall, and that a person standing near is very likely to be drawn over with it, and thus, if the ditch is deep enough, carried out of his depth. This is ell there is 10 the much talked of "undertow" and the numerous a.cci- dents laid tie its account. But in case he should prove that the so-called higher criticism is on his side, the Episcopal Chu) eh will be compelled to decide against the higher criticism, unless it is will- ing to modify its creed, which de- clares that Christ was born of a virgin and He Pose again from the dead on the thitd day. Thus far it has never entirely broken with modern Biblical criticism, but has quietly adjusted its system to the conclusions of the critics. That has been, however, because no question involving the denial of an article in the creed has ever come up be- fore. It is easy enough for the church to accept the conclusion of males in regard to the six days of creation, or even in regard to the non -Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch. But it does not seem possible for it to assent when critics practically eliminate two articles of its creed. THE BEHRING SEA CASE. The London, Eng., Press Associa- tion has information that thelritisb Government approves of the appeal made to the United States Supreme Court asking that court to issue a writ of prohibition and to annul the action of the District Court of Alaska in condemning the British schooner Sayward which was seized by the United States Government on the charge of illegally capturing seals. Tho Press Association announced that it is understood United States Minister Lincoln will have an in- terview with Lord Salisbury soon after his return to England and sub mit to the Premier communications regarding the Behring Sea contro- versy. The Association states it is improbable that Salisbury will recede from his present position. SNOW TWO MILES DEET'. "Yes. I have been in a round v whore the snow is two mitre der; ," said N. B. Lazard, a mining expert from Tombstone, Ariz., at the Pal- mer house, Chicago. Mr. Lazard was in the east during the recent snow storm, and was talking shout what the people in Pennsylvania called a blizzard. "They thought the two -foot fail of snow was something to tal k about," continued the visitor, "but if they would visit Alaska about 200 miles up the Yukon river they would find snow that for miles is so thick that the banks almoat reach the skies. If it keeps on accumulating as fast as it has during the Last ten years scientific mon will not bo able to sly truthfully the earth is round.
