TOWN Oil COUNTRY?
From th( '. Y, Timr.
Sixty miles beyond St. l'nul is a farm
worked by seven sisters. Tho parents of
these girls wero both invalids, and very poor.
They went from Ohio to Minnesota baroly
three years ego for their health. Under the
Homestead law the family secured a pre
emption claim of the usual hundred and sixty
acres. Moved by a natural sympathy for a
family so nnfortmiately situated, their neigh
bors helped them to put up a log house, and
they were able to hire men to split rails for
fencing and to plow the land. All the rest of
the work has been done by tho seven girls,
and lafct year they sold nine hundred bushels
of potatoes, five hundred bushels of corn,
two hundred and fifty bushels of wheat, and
some six hundred of miscellaneous vegetables.
They are now comfortably off, and find time
to read books and newspapers.
Now, there may be occupations more suita
ble to women than those connected with
agriculture, but the interesting facts we have
related convey a lesson of no slight import
ance. Jf a family of women, several members
of which are young and weak, can compass
within two years such results as those, begin
ning with absolutely nothing, it is easy to
guess what strong men might do. And yet,
in the great cities of our Atlantio coast, there
are thousands and thousands of stout, hulking
fellows who complain that they can get no
work, or, what is nearly as bad, who perform
in shops those ornamental duties which
women can discharge as well, and from which
the practical monopoly of one rgx necessarily
excludes the other. The rapidity with which
a comfoitable position can be obtained in
Minnesota, and other Western States, can be
partly estimated by considering the rate of
growth of the States themselves. It is, for
example, barely twenty years since Minne
sota was organized as a territory. The popu
lation in 18.10 was less than GuuO. In 1805 it
was more than 250,000, and the new census
will show, it is said, a total of half a million
souls. Of course, property rises in value in
rorylng proportion to this, but there can be
no doubt that any one who settles on fertile
land on the old lines of railway, and who is
honest and industrious, will amass a compe
tency in ten or fifteen years. The value of
real estate in Minnesota is set down in the
official reports, made to the State Legislature
last January, at one hundred and twenty
millions of dollars; it was worth,
if anything, only the Government
pi ice twenty years ago: and this
is a tolerably fair example of the progressive
augmentation of values. To reach thi3
swiftly-growing community costs about
thirty-five dollars, so that its accessibility to
the poor man bears a moderate relation to
the cost of establishing himself on arrival.
No country in the world oilers such twofold
advantages as these, and it is strange that, as
this is the case, so large a ratio of our native
as well as imported population should ob
struct each other in the great towns.
For those who have their way to make ia
the world, country life on the broad and
fruitful prairies of the West is the most pro
mising acd happy that can be adopted. Inde
pendence is there within easier reach from
small beginnings than in any other locality.
A young laborer may leave his Eastern home
for the plains beyond the Mississippi, and
find himself the possessor of a handsome
fortune in early middle age. Such things
have been, and will continue to be, until an
equilibrium of population is arrived at; and
this, even at the present rapid rate of pro
gress, will need several generations to attain.
The increasing density of our urban popula
tionsthe present corresponding discomforts
and high prices, and the future decrease in
wages that will result from it will of course
create a direct pressure calculated to thrust
superfluous thousands toward lands compara
tively empty. But it is unfortunate that,
without waiting for such a process, numbers
do not new perceive their own true interest,
and seek for themselves and their children
the health, comfort, and independence which
are afforded on such easy terms by the smiling
prairies of the West.
FKANCE AND THE F0PE.
From tlx A'. Y. Sun.
It is notorious that the present Government
of France and the more intelligent of the
French bishops in the (Ecumenical Council
are opposed to the adoption of the dogma of
the Pope's infallibility. It is equally noto
rious that, norwithstanding this opposition,
the majority of the council are resolved upon
promulgating the dogma, and that, though
they may be delayed in the accomplishment
of their purpose, they cannot probably be
defeated. In this state of things the French
newspapers are speculating with some soli
citude upon the consequences which may re
sult from the anticipated action of the coun
cil, and its effect upon the relations of Church
and State in France.
From a very early period the French Catho
lics have been indisposed to yield fully to
the claims of supremacy made by the Pope.
As far back as 12ti8, a royal decree forbade
the interference of Rome in the affairs of the
national Church. After many controversies
the whole French clergy, headed by the fa
mous Fossuet, joined in U'S2 in declaring
their adhesion to four points, which have ever
since been regarded as fundamental princi
ples, and have formed the basis of all the laws
and treaties relating to the Gallican Charch.
These points are: that kings and priacei in
temporal matters are independent of the
spiritual power; that the Pope is subject
to the decisions of an oecumenical council;
that the power of the Pope is limited by the
prescriptive rights and usages of the Galli
can Church; and that, in mattors of faith,
the decisions of the Pope are not in
fallible when not confirmed by the con
sent of the whole Church. The pro
posed fct.ema of infallibility directly
contradicts these doctrines. It declares the
Pope to be, in aff airs concerning religion, the
supreme ruler of all the faithful laymen as
well as priests; that ho is not subject to the
deciees of councils, nor bound to consult the
Church in declaring matters of faith; and
that his primacy is not merely honorary, nor
limited to a mere supervision, but extendi to
the discipline and government of the Church
in the whole earth. Tho question ia now
raised whether, in case of the adoption of the
schema, tie Government of Fiance will not
l;e absolved from its present obligations to
the Pope, p.nd whether as a natural conse
quence the Gallican Church may not be drawn
by the opponents of Ultraiuontauism into a
declaration of entire indbpfindeneo.
These considerations have, no doubt, been
duly weighed by the Pope and his advisers,
and they must feel assured in their own
minds that the Papacy will receive no injury
from the measure they are urging. Reporters
are not tuiiuitted to the sittings of the coun
cil, and the utmost pains are taken to pro
vent what is said in its debates from becom
ing public. Still, enough has leaked out to
make it sure that the minority are deter
mined not to yield without a struggle, and
that what they lack in numbers is amply
made up by learning and ability. Tho perils
which the adoption of the dogma in ques
tion will bring upon tho Church in France
will be set forth with vigor and clearness,
and fLe majority will not hereafter have the
excuse that they were not warned. The same
arguments which will be used in reference to
FranceJ w ill also be applied to the case of Aus
tria; so that tho Pope will find himself in
danger of a rupture with the two great Catho
lic powers of Europe at once.
RED CLOUD'S PLAIN TALK IN WASH
INGTON. l'rnm the A". Y. Bfrald.
The oratory of Lognn has evidently left a
germ in the bosom of tho red man which, at
this day, fructifies. The spirit of Red Jacket
and the obstinacy of Billy Bowlegs are not
extinct. The last of the Ogallalas as ho
described himself chief of the Sioux tribe,
lied Cloud, united in his speech in Washing
ton on Tuesday, before the assembled digni
taries of the Indian Department, a good deal
of the logic and pathos of Logan with the in
domitable pluck of Red Jacket and Bow
legs. When pleading for the rights of his
people. Red Cloud asked, "Whose voice was
first heard in this land?" and he answers the
question "It was that of the rel people, who
used the bow." With this intimation of inhe
rited right to the soil he proceeded to put into
a nutshell the grievances of his people. He
snys, in substance, tho Great Father may be
very kind, but his officials rob and maltreat
the Indian; they have left him nothing but
an island upon the vast extent of country
which his father and his mother told him be
longed to him. They these white marauders
steal the goods sent by the Government all
along the road, so that but a handful reaches
his starving nation. We fancy that the red
chief is not mistaken in this statement; for
"Indian annuity goods," whether composed
of blankets, bacon, flour, sugar, or ammuni
tion, are considered common property for the
pilferers who infest tho frontier, and are not
very scrupulously handled after the goods
pass beyond the iines of railroad. It might
be interesting to know how many larders of
Indian agents, sutlers, and contractors are
enriched by the material which should reach
the lodges of our wards, tho red men.
But the Sioux warrior, the last of the Ogal
lalloB, comes plainly to the point as to what
his people want when he emphatically pro
nounces against the maintenance of Fort Fet
terman and the continuance of our garrison
on the lands. "I want no roads," ho says,
"through my country. For the railroads you
are passing through there I have not received
so much as a brass ring for the land they oc
cupy." He will have no soldiers or railroads
upon the land, and the removal of both seems
to be the ultimatum of peace or war in Red
Cloud's region. Now, the meaning of all this
is simply what we have stated many times.
Tho Indians are defrauded by Government
agents and others to such an extent that they
are worked up to a state of exasperation.
Promises are freely made to them and are
flagitiously broken, so that it becomes a
question often whether it is not we, rather
than the Indians, who are the aggressors. It
may be necessary at times of absolute warfare
to use harsh measures with the savages; but
it should be considered whether the bad con
duct of our own agents has not provoked the
difficulty in nine cases out of ten. We be
lieve that the cause can be traced to this
origin.
The fact is that we want a thorough reform
in the management of our Indian Department.
We must be honest with the savage if we
attempt to control him by peaceful means, Wo
must not be driven by the misconduct and
avarice of our employes to the hateful
necessity of cruelty and extermination. The
Secretary of the Interior must have learned
something about the questions from the plain,
bold words of the chieftain Red Cloud. He
must be convinced that palaver ha3 very little
effect upon the Indian character. He must
have learned, too, that faithlessness on our
part in the matter of treaties, and gross
swindling of the Indians by our agents and
their tools, the contractors, are at tho bottom
of all this Indian trouble.
DEATH AND THE DRAMA.
From the A'. Y. World.
Our amusements are getting to be quite as
exciting as the gladiatorial shows of the
ancient Romans or the bull-fights of the
modern Spaniards. Only a few days ago
we had a young lady exquisitely bitten by
lions in the Bowery, and an athlete ecstati
cally tumbled headlong from his pride of
place in Fourteenth street. And now we hear
from London of a fearful interlude in the en
tertainments which nightly attract a motley
company 01 totn sexes and or all classes in
society to the "Alhambra Concert Hall" in
that city. A large trap door in the centre of
tne floor of the stage suddenly gave way, and
precipitated a number of ballet girls into the
vaults beneath. These vaults were filled with
all sorts of machinery and of lumber, so that
the hapless girls fared like the victims of
feudal tyranny in those medi;eval castles the
oubliettes of which have now become one of
the regular shows of the world of travel. The
Alt-Schloss of Baden-Baden has such an
oubliette. It was closed at top by a trap,
and when this trap gave way the" wretch
standing upon it went heavily down through
the cavity below upon a congeries of spikes
and knives, and bo tore himself quickly iu
pieces. Eleven of the London dancing-girls
thus dealt with are reported to have been
badly injured, which is likely enough, and
some of these to have been injured fatally,
which is far from unlikely. Of course, all
this will have no sort of effect either in pre
venting other dancing-girls from risking their
lives in the same manner, or in inducing
managers to give closer attention to the con
dition of their stages and their machinery, or
in diverting the popular taste from entertain
ments flavored thus with the cayenne of con
stant peril to life and limb. More than a
year ago one of the finest and most forcible
draughtsmen of our times, Mr. Matthew Mor
gan, of the London Tomahawk, enriched the
pages of that periodical with a powerful car
toon entitled "Death and the Trapeze."
It represented in wonderful perspective a
theatre crowded with interested and excited
spectators in the orchestra stalls kid-gloved
roue with, opera-glasses intent upon the
stage, in the family circle open-mouthed chil
dren devouring the delight of exp3otation.
High in air, from a poised trapeze, swung a
graceful, lithe young female form, lightly
clad and more lightly balanced to her diuger
ons leap. In the near foreground, clad iu
the faultless dress-coat, the kid boots, the
white choker and gloves of the period, and
with arms artistically extended to receive
her. stood Death, a courtly skeleton smiling a
horrible smile. A bitter aad burning sermon
was the graphic sketch but to what purpose
One is forced to ak one's 6elf whether thi
munager who could engage weiv s'lch a
thing poFsible the ghastly services of Azrael
himself, in person and in fnnetion even m
Mr. Morgan's pregnant fancy bodied him
forth, would not thereby make a "hit" of
the most stupendous character, and secure
crowded houses for a season of indefinite
length.
TRAVELLERS AND TRAVELLING.
From the X. Y. mbunt.
Of all the fine things which the always
charming Horatius Flaccus sent down to pos
terity, tkere is none finer than the satire
which describes his journey. from Rome to
Brundusium. Very little the poet probably
cared for the quarrels of Octavius and An
tony, as he travelled in the train of Maecenas,
who went to Brundusium to promote a recon
ciliation. The satire itself is one of the
pleasanlest of itineraries, full of the sharpest
of observations, and the most good-humored
narrative of little troubles and difficulties;
droll growls at tho badness of inns and the
annoyances of fellow-travellers; the biting
of the gnats and the croakings of the frogs;
the rustic humors of the villages; boat travel
and travels by post-chaise, through the unfor
tunate town "not to be 'named in verse"
(Equotuticum), through Rubri, Barium,
and Egnatia, until Brundusium at last is
leached. The journey was not a very long
one and did not occupy many days: yet there
ere few books of modern travel which are
equal in value and interest to this gem of a
poem.
The great and long excursions which in
these days railways enable us to make, and
which at least suggest the annihilation of
time and space, render tho journey of Horace
small by comparison; and yet w e should be
glad enough if we could get from them some
thing like the result of his insignificant trip.
Our travellers, it would seem, carry their
eyes in their pockets, and only resume them
w hen the final goal is attained. The main
purpose seems to be to go from point A to
point B as quickly as possible; and the charm
of the feat is not in what it will produce, but
in the thrilling fact that it can be done at all.
Last week a whole car-load of clergymen
started from Chicago for San Francisco. The
week before a similar freight of men and
women left Boston for the same destina
tion. With a continuous rush, with the
scream of the whistle, eating, driuking,
sleeping, each party was hurried along.
All that charm of travel which proceeds
from a sense of personal danger, however
sligLt, will he lost all the power of en
durance which is strengthened by suffering,
all that discipline the re3nlt of which i3a
confirmed presence of mind, all those lessons
in quick decision which imminent danger
gives, will be eluded. This is travel with the
moral element left out. It is no more than a
day's pleasuring. There is no stuff in it to
vitalize a boy's book to bo read w ith awo and
wonder by the winter's firesido. How would
the best record which could bo made of it
compare with the talqs of travellers from
Marco Polo to Dr. Kane? The pilgrims to
San Francisco will see "antres vast and de
serts idle, rough quarries, rocks and hills
whose heads touch heaven;" but the rate of
progress will be too swift for much observa
tion, R'sthetic or scientific, and tho locomotive
has no poetical bowels of mercy. Nor will tho
meanderers see any "cannibals that each other
eat," nor any "anthropophagi," nor yet any
"men whose heads do grow beneath their
shoulders." The only possibility of an ad
venture will be in an accident, and an acci
dent would spoil all. There will be no man
ners and customs for the travellers to observe,
except the manners and customs of each
other aud pretty dull work that will be
found after the first day. The Western par
sons will, of necessity, fall back upon
theology, and the Boston ladies upon the
Peace Jubilee. Under these circumstances,
the kindest wish which we can send after the
wayfarers is that they may have a fine, natu
ral, rousing scare from the Indians. Far bo
it from us to desire that any clergyman should
be scalped, although a scalped clergyman
would draw enormous houses, should he sur
vive the operation and return. But a group
of hostile aborigines upon their tough little
ponies, seen in the distance, might occasion
an agreeable titillation of moderate appre
hension. We hope it will not be thought that w e
speak of these excursions w ith undue levity,
or that we miscalculate their honest value.
The Germans have a word the purport of
which is, "a dweller in a small town." No
man (unless ho be a hopeless fool) can go
from Boston to San Francisco and back again
without getting a great many village notions
out of his head; and he will begin, however
dimly, to comprehend that the world has
boundaries. somewhat wider than he has
heretofore supposed. Mr. Emerson long
ago, perhaps a little cynically, called travel
ling "the fool's paradise," and solemnly
assured his disciples that they would find
nothing abroad which they might not
also find at home; and yet Mr. Emer
son's practice has been somewhat different
from his preacrfiug, since ho too in his d.iy
has been a considerable traveller, with the re
sult of at least one delightful volume. Per
haps if Mr. Emerson had said that the fool at
home must also be a fool abroad, ho would
more nearly have hit the mark. The advan
tage of travel does not consist so much in
what is seen as in the escape from looal
grooves, in the collision with different orders
of men, and in absence from the belittling
influence of a neighborhood too close for
self-respect and too prone to waste its social
activity in worse than profitless gossip
and chit-chat of the tea-tables although
it may be doubted whether this end
will be so well promoted when large num
bers from the same point, and all associates at
home, travel together in a sort of caravan;
for there is danger in such case that iutellec
lectual habits carried away may be brought
back again, possibly, like the luggage, a little
the worse for the wear of the expedition.
But the supreme benefit of the journeying is
in its holiday. It is an emancipation of the
scholar from the volumes which ho may be
either misusing or over-using; of the man of
merchandise from the slavery of day-book
and ledger; of the clergyman from his con
gregation, and of the lawyer from his client;
asid it is a temporary liberation of woman
from that domestic management which,
whether she be rich or poor, may be domi
neering over her daily life and obstructing
all her steps towards a higher culture. Tra
velling is the adult's vacation; and often the
adult may as much need it as tho school
child.
