A3I(.)X(; THE DAKOTAS. A Woman's Unique Experioncoa with Indians. Habit and Cunlomft of tlit CoiiierH'ol oreil lilldrrn of the l'liMnx- Their Wcahurn for Struvd lf; A rarwcll Ift&nee. In our residence of fourteen months amonr the Ihtkuta Indians, whom we had lieen taurlit to look on as nltogeth er barbarous, lny sister ami I hail uuiiiuo experienees in iiiKlinj that some tilings alMiiit us slioekeil tlieir idi-as of the titness of things as much as their customs liil ours. We thotio-ht n failed calico bar pood I'noutrli to send over the prairies for our mail, anil every ten days our two camp policemen carried that bar to and from the ao-eney. ne day one of the hue;o fidlows said with a serious face that we should have a pret ty bar, and he turned to his fellow jki lieeman to tusk if that wtis not so. The other man nodded his head with Mich vio-or that it was plain the matter had liecn a subject of mortification to k .t li. and that they had consulted how to brinjr the .'ricvance to nur notice without hurtinjr our fcelinps. The 1 hikotns dislike much to say anythinir not altogether complimentary, and we knew the effort it must have cost to ex press theiu-el ves on this subject. We made a smart hair of red tlantu l. picked out in black. When I'ut-I'oot strapped it across his shoulders over his tidy uni form, he was 'i-nnirii-ly happy. l.arov bustles w re worn aim m' civ ilized people when we went amono- the Ihikotas. but we had to ahandun them. We would have had no influence over our charges if we liad kept thosu linst les 1 m. The di il's eaten by these p-ople are quite different from the iIolts of which they, like civilied jieoplcs. make frii-nds and companions. They have square, boxdike Im nlies and lieads. and scarcely any tails. They seem to fat ten as readily as pij-rs. A small tepee near the family tctiee i ptit up for the docf famil3'. The llesli of these do's is liK.ked on as a dainty, and is eaten with ceremony, and the women brin;.' little tin cups to take some of it to the chil dren at home. For one of the weekly dances in camp, one doff is considered sutlieient. but as many as forty are killed for a reat f.-a-t. Th lor of the stew ed iIolt is very unpleasant and we had t throw open the windows, even in set ere weather, after the school children had been regaled n that dish. . The Indian school at the afviiey was kept by the airent's pretty daughter. She had often observed one of those ilns that seemed to have more sa;racity t ban his fellows. He came every lay school with the child who owned hkn. and during the i xriviM's be sat lies'nle her 011 the platform and joined with the children in the frames at recess. She said to the doff's master one day: "Your do' is very fat." Yes," was the hoy's answer; "we will cat him next week." ne day there was a knock at our e.rmp school hous,- d-Mir. tine of the eliiidfeti, little Amos I Slack-hull had brought his dojr, one of the edible vari ety, as a present to us, and had tied l.im to the step. Of course Amos was thanked, but his present was not ac cepted. The Indian children, like white chil dren, imitate life in their play. The o-irls carry their dolls 011 their backs, secured by the shawi for the smallest maid likes a little shawl round her shoulders, or thrown oer her iiead. W hen the dolly is supposed to he fret ful, the small mother shakes herself 1 10m side to side, as she has seen her mother do to hush a real baby. Their loll houses a re tepees, const rneted of an old rar, held dow n aainst tin- force of the wind, like the family tex-e, by turf laid round the ei lye. IScsidcs this, the do!I have what is known as a root Ionise in that severe climate. It is a bole dur in the side of a hill, with a projecting riH if of turf, in which are stored such provisions as, would be spoiled by free .in jr. The Indian babies were alarmed by our white faces when first we went amonff them, and the mothers were mortified by their screams. I!ut with the assistance of a spoonful of siie-nr or a bit of hardtack, which they like as much as white children do candy, we wore siM.u on yHd terms. The Ihtkotas, unless they have been corrupted by bad white men, are strictly and literally truthful, line has to l- careful not to make a mistake in talking w ith them. When they asked how many "sleeps" (nights) ln-fore we meant to do any certain tinny, we had to be sure of the uumher for fear of shocking them by not keeping our word. I 'Hi' is not allowed to ihanjrc one's mind almut ciiyayemeiits. either. On one oecasiou we had U'one the rounds of the camp invitinir all. old and 3011110;, to a sort of entertainment a reception v o called it. for want of another name. On the day at.Hiinteil I was sci.cd with a fever, and my sister decided that we would have to tmst jvtn 0urtre.1t. So Mie souiiUeM the police siynal. three taps on the bell, and s-nt our faithful StilT-Arm to let the camp know that no one was to tome to the school house that day. IStit she reckoned without her invited quests. Indians are punc tuality itself, and promptly at four o'clock, the hour set. they bcyan to pour in. Th first comers were ul lowed to come into my bedroom, that they miyht report my illuesa to those on the way. lSut it did no yood. The entir-. camp arrived. My sister rushed fi ir the hardtack that we had meant to Ik- a I nart of the refreshments, and distrib uted it anion r them at the d.ior, and bade them frixvl-by. Theu they went reluctantly home. For the closiny exercises of the school, we invited all the camp to come at ten o'clock in the morninjr. lief ore our seven-o'clock breakfast, we saw a watf uii drive up tilled with parents and children. We yave them pictures to look at, and they were so entertained by these and by our runniny abcut in our preparations for the occasion that I do not think they v.re sorry to wait three hours before the entertainment projier In-yan. Our wards lioeamc so alTectionate that we had to forbid their cominjr to the house K-fore breakfast. If they stayed too loiijr. it was no insult to say, in the idiom of their lang-nayc. that we wished to "make the door solid." which meant that we wished to shut the door I behind them. The same visitor would be smiliny at the door the next day vailiivr for admission. It is a yrief and mortification to the Ihikotasif a teacher leaves their camp. When we found that the climate was too severe f ir us and decided to leave, they expressed their sorrow in many pathetic ways. They came singly and in number to say that their hearts were very sail. The chief men in the camp came to the school house and held a solemn council, sitting silent for almut an hour ami a half. Then one or two said their hearts were sad, and all went away. They pave us a farewell Omaha dance. This is one of their friendly dances. A ponl many yonnp braves were invited from a neitrhlxirinp camp to make it a very smart ball indeed. With the exception of a bit of blanket or calico, they wore no clothes except their feather dresses, necklaces, arm lets and ornaments for the scalplock and the ankles. Their faces and I hI ies were painted fantastically. We scarcely reeopnized familiar friends. It was a pood ileal like a masquerade, t lur diyniti.il policemen. I.ittle-!op and Stilt-Arm and (.'tit-Foot, whom we had Ih-cii accustomed to see in the I'nitcd States army uniform, were particular ly amazinp in our eyes. They pave us chairs, and onee or twice durinp the proprcss of the dance asked us to rise that our seats mipht lie placed where we could lie still more comfortable. All the Indian Women and ail the men. ex cept those who heat the drums, sat on the pround or on a plank laid on the pround. The women danced apart from the men. Neither sex paid the least at tention to the tit her. apparently. The biirpest yellow ilop in the camp had 1-ocn killed to do honor to the teachers, lie w as stewed in a clothes iM.iler, and the dish was placed in the middle of the hut. The other refresh ments were rice, bread and coffee, each in a separate clothes t dler. The pov ernment pi ves clothes 1 toilers to the Indians alonp w ith stoves. These stoves constitute a part of the annuity poods promised to the Sioux or lakotas in the treaty when they Ceded their lands 1. 1 the I'nitcd States. When the time eauie for the refreshments to Ik' served. tl.' youiiL' man who pot up the dance was conducted by the master of cere monies to t lie middle of the room, and placed beside the clothes lioiler of stewed ilop. Then Kaple-Iop. who had contributed the bip yellow dop. was led up and placet 1 Wside him. Then the master of ceremonies turned his foot- steps towards me. It was a tryinp moment. I devoutly trusted that it was not tie ripueur that their head teacher should sit on the pround and eat stewed dop. They must have held a conference and decided that my sister and I were not to be asked to do this. When he reached me. he did not offer to conduct me to the center like tiie other honored ones. He stooped low and put his head with its hupe circle of caple feathers to my side and rolled it round and round. I stole a f urt ive platice round t see what the ineauinp could be. The whole roomful of perhaps a hundred and fifty Indians were looUinp calmly on; it was plain that it was "the correct thinp." The brave held his head up for a moment, and 1 th-iiij-ht that was the end of the ceremony, but it had to lie pone throuph with a second time. Then he stepx-d away, and bepan to serve out the feast. Thanks were offered up audibly by eaeh one present tmtti lie fore and after the supper. Susan Iabr.ey Nineties, in N. Y. l'ost. The l.ttliy and the S;va(r".

A diver enpaped. in t hi pearl fishery in the ticin'ty itf Torres straits came across in the eour.se of !iis work the wreck of a I a rev vessel imlicd.li d in the sand. Curiosity' and a hope of tindinv som.-thinp to repay him for his trouble induced him to make a careful c aiuiuat ion of the ship. Th s arch was wry fruitf.il of results. The es.s. 1 proved to be an old Spanish Hast Indiaman. and a part of its carjro w us silver specie in dollars of a iwriod niwuit seventy years apo. So far the discovery is a profound secret, knotwn only to a very few who are now en paped in exploitmp the wreck to con siderable advantape. A recent steamer lrotn Australia broupht to Iondon a larpe quantity of the eeie. amount inp in value to many thousand pounds, and there i.s more to follow. It is extremely improbable, however, that the discovery can much lonpcr be concealed. IJHOKEX HEAKTS. Tho Pathetic Romance of an Old Cathedral Many years apo, I stayed awhile in an old cathedral town in the richest 1 and loveliest part of Yorkshire. Such ! quaint, old houses, roofed with bripht rcd tiles, such preen meadows and yel j low cornfields, such preat over-shatlow- iiiTtrecs. and such sweet old-fashioned j pardeas, I shall never see apain. Hut ! the preat charm tomyyoiinp fancy was j the solemn old cathedral and the mil, i "ilent courts of houses that clustered i round it. The dreamy, peaceful life enchanted me. 1 thoupht that 1 could live forever ainonp the dim si isles of the pram I old church and the shady pardetis of the handsome houses. "This is a court of peace." I said. 'Surely no shadow of discontent or sorrow can ever come within it." I tut this 1 aaid in my haste and my ipnoranec. At tin of my visit, as 1 w friends pardon, pravevard of the c i:Xld of tin.' lil'st w eek s wHinlcr'nip i'i my which touched the ithedral, 1 heard tho wildest, stranuTi st. music eommp from it tier service w as over. most sorrowful I knew the ves I knew this wa - n;t the orp::nift"s playinp, and my in terest ar.d curiosity triumph--.! over my fear, and l.-d nut to take t ho keys of the vestry, which were at my command, and sath-fy myself. No human cry oT a puny was ever more inre'.lipiblo. I divined at on.-.- that some poor, hrcak inp heart was pouriup out it. self into the Iivir.e ear. which vmderst.imls .ill speech arid latipitape, and so 1 stole away apain, ashamed and sorry fur my intrusion. Frequently, after this sometimes early in the momiiip. sometimes deep in the ploaminp I heard the same musician. At last I spoke to the friend with whom I was stayinp. She looked troubled as she answered: "It is the poor old dean. I am pi ad j he has this consolation. IK not disturb him." A few days afterward, as we were walkinp up the court, ve met the dean. He lieppcl my fii. tvl to po into his house and see his dnuphter Mary, arid then I siw.n understood what nik'hty prief it was which had struck the key note of his passionate, pleadinp prayer. She was dyinp: no one but a parent could havr doul.te l it f .r one minute. The earnest of eternity w as in hi r eyes, which lool.-od as i'th.-v h id .-"!! s-.me at had She r iri a w i-arated in r uich driawn i.ikiti.r into fr- ill t ime. ch t th ip- li ivj:li! a parden thick with preen sliad.-. and bripht with many a sweet l'.ower w host name is now forpot ten. I pa zed on her with admiration. I do not think it ever entered my mind to pity her. I reserved that fcelinp for the pray misery of her father, and for the horn-less, resentful lookinp tlistress I saw in the face and manner of a handsome man whom I timk to lie her brother. There was. however, some element in th- sorrow of that dyin:r room that I did not under stand then, though vnm afterward, when I knew Mary llarlowo's history, it w as clear ctvuiirh to mo. She was the only child of her father, who hail received her in exchanpe for his 3-ounp wife's life. Ainonp the silent rooms of the preat house, and in the iilotisnnt old trardons lielon.jimr t the church property, she had prow u up to a I sweet and loveiy pirlhood. When nl-out seventeen years of ape. j her cousin. Ir-ruard llarlo-.ee. was sent to her father's care, w hile he prt pared for takinp orders. The votinp man was not rich, and was never likely to have any inheritance b-tt the handsome per son, the clear bead and the warm heart nature had piven him. Hut Mary loved him almost from the first day of his ar rival, and ll.-rnard thouirht himself richer in that love than the bishop in his see, or the kinp in his crown. The dean was not so wrapped up in spiritual matters as to Is- oblivious of what was transpirinp under his own roof, vet he made n t remonstrance: so. thottph there was no positive enpape ment. llernard and Mary Harlowe con sidered themselves a one heart and one soul for time and for eternity. One afternoon the sunny stillness of the court was broken by the pallopinp of horses and the r;:tt!e of a carriape. It stopped at the dean's door, and llernard recopni.ed a younp earl, fa moiistor his wealth and church patron ape, who owned a mapr.ificei-.t seat alnut three miles distant. "There is some dispute Itotw-oon mv lord bishop and the earl." he said to Mary. "I wonder how the dean will man ape Ik -tween them?" Hut the earl's visit seemed to them a matter of the very smallest importance. Wandei inp under the '.roes, pul-.n r ripe lierr'n s, or idly pathcr'np s..i:i,- ii-.uvr fairer than all its mates, they 1. id not even speculate i.n th. 1-npth of his visit or watch f.-r his departure. It was. therefore, with some surprise the saw him and the dean come slowly walkinp down the main avenue to pether. j Mary would have escaped the inter j view by takinp a private walk to the I house, but llernard. with some stranpe j instinct of in-inp on the defensive, drew her arm throuph his and awaited their j approach. The dean seemed annoyed at the attitude. He introduced his tlauphter and his nephew, and then bade Mary "po to prepare for dinner w hich Karl Orwy." he add d, bowinp. "will tlo me the honor to eat with me." The younp nobleman languidly as sented, following- Mary with his eyes until she was hidden from view bt- the shrubWrv. Surcby, "lovinp and hatinp come by nature," for ere the earl had spoken. Hernard hated him. and loi;p In-fore the nipht was over he fancied he had pood ean.se to do so. He was anpry at Mary for lokinpso beautiful; he was anpry at the earl for lookinp at her lieautv. He thoupht his j uncle dispustinpl3' sultservteiit to the 3-ounp man's rank; he thoupht Mary unusually cool to hi.-n. All niirht lonp he was hir own tormentor, and this wat but the In-pinninp of sorrows. The carl, charrcnd with Mary's fresh younp Wanty, so different from the clever, intripuintr women with whom ho had danced and trifled away all the last season, fancied himself iliepl3- in love with the simple, innocent pirl. He came apain andairain, at first inventing all sorts of excuses, finally without any excuse at all. It required, indeed, small persuasion to obtain the dean's full permission to woo his tlauphter. Then stormy scenes ensued: uncle and nephew came to bit terest strife, while Mary's defense of . Iloniard only broupht on her such an- per from her father as filled her with j prief and fear. j I'oor llernard! The end his heart j had prophesied came soon enoupli. In the presence of the dean there was a j cruel, formal partinp; under the silent stars, amid the thick shul.)a-ry of the j parden, there was another partinp. i Mary would have promised const an- ! C3 but llernard would not let her do it. "You shall never have to reproach yourself with broken promises for 1113' sake, dar.inp," he said. "What could von. vou poor timid little dove, do 1h-- tween your father and that lord ly earl? t Hut whatever thej- make you do. re j member, Mary, I shall never blameyou, and 1 will love you until my last con scious breath." Then he kissed her pale face over and over, tenderly, clinpinply. as we kiss the dead, and left her. And Mary, almost heart-broken with prief. and faint with terror lest she should be discovered, could only wave her hands in mute farewell, for she knew now that love and she must walk apart for ever. llernard went to Oxford and Mar3' liccamc Countess ( Irey, and went whith ersoever it pleased her husband to take her. She was naturally alTection ate, and would doubtless hat e In-come a lovinp and penile wife if she had re ceived an;.- cucourapement. Hut she soon t ut li veil the earl's short likinp, and then he only seemed to find pleas ure in those pvtty cruelties which un lovinp husbands above all others under stand. One of these was to affect the most unlMiuuded chaprin at the sex of her first child, to sneer at alldauphters, and to send it from its mother's breast to the care of a stranpe nurse. Another was to pretend she needed exercise and chanpe of air, and remove her from London to the continent Ik. fore she was able to bear the fatipue. He pave her no rest until die reached Koine, and here she liecame so serious-Hill that even her servants remonstrated atraitist the cruelty of movinp her further. In Kome she remained six months, nearly alone. The earl traveled hither and thither as his fam-y led him, mak i!i'T ids wife only occasional short tit-its of a cruelly ceremonious character. 1 1 is life of cxt ravupaiit iK ; pat ion was a shameful contrast to the loneliness and ab.-ohite seclusion which her Italian physician ordered, while her separa ti' ii fi'otii all who loved or cared for her and her hnivrinp for her native land and h--me t I fearf ui! V i:i li her 1 1 1- in' b.ealt h. Kut ore day a far more cruel sorrow faced !:-r. A letter without signature w as p'aced in her hands, not only acctis inp In-r husband of the most liaprant disrepard for her. but als.i intimating that her physi.-ian wa-, in the t-mplov td her enemies, and not a safe jktsoii to I- intrusted with her life. She had lonp felt sure that she was tlyinp. but the dread of dyinp awa from her child, her father and her home overcame a'l other fears. This terror made !e-r prudent. She arranpid for an immediate return home, and took ailvaiit :iLT of her husband's first absence to ci imHicttee it. For l.im she left a most noble and pathetic letter, entreat'm-T him 11. -t to f 1 11 low her. f irpi vinp all his imsili vc and nepative cruelties, and askinp only to lie permitted to die lieside her father and their child. Her requests so complete' apreed with the earl's desires that for once he did not thwart her: and so. two years after this ill-starred marriapo. Farl (irey's travelinp carriape apain broke the silence of the peaceful cathedral court. The dean's dauphter had come back to him wearinp somothinp hipher than a countess" coronet: she had re ceived the sipnet of immortality, and In-en anointed for a heavenly- corona tion. After Mar3''s marriapo, the dean had pone to see his nephew, and easily in duced him to come back with him: so it was Hernard that lifted Mary from her carriape and carried her in his st roup arms to the room she never left apain; and it was Hernard that rode day and nipht. so that he mipht brinp a few hours earlier the child which was to comf.-ri Mail' s dyinp hours. In order to excuse the step she had taken, and pmcure her father's promise to keep her little dauphter. she had lieen compelled to divuipe all the cruel mart3'rdoiu of her married life. After this revelation it was not hard to un derstand the dean's wretched look, and his passionate, pleadinp prayers, and the music which was an articulate ap.m-. I coul.l understand. ti, now the anpry, lonpinp look on Hernard's face, and his miserable restlessness; but neither of the men showed, in Mary's presence, aii3' feclinp which could mar the peace of her descent into the prave. I went often to see her the next few months. It was like lyinp with her at "the (late Heautiful" of Heaven. I used to wonder at her loveliness and rejoice in her certain hoiie, but I never pitied her. As 1 said liefore. I kept that fcelinp for the hojeJess prief of the old man and the kittcr sorrow of the younp one. Just lx-fore Christmas I went over to the dean's, after an absence of three days. Ik-spair and remorse were sit tinp in the handsome chambers, and a slow but certain sorrow creepinp up the marble stairs. The next day a nar row cofln hail separated father and dauphter, mother and child, husband j and wife, lover and In.-loved.as effeetual I ly and as widely as all the starr3 j spaces. i No one can stop in l-t ween two lov : inp hearts without puilt; and when ' love is slain for pold or rank, it has 1 bitter aver.pers.

Perhaps there onee were brothers and perhaps there was 011.0 a company, but that is all ancient history, any how, and has nothinp to do with this strictly modern stor3'. And it did not interfere with the fact that old Kent ham's name was a lovely thinp to have at the bot tom of a larpe cheek. The clerks never speculated on tiie probable effect of love on Peters, (lo calise it never occurred to them that such a thinpas Peters fallinp in love w as within the Imuiids of possil.il It Love, they arpued. was not an article that can be docketed and ticketed and rc fi rred back f. r further information, and entered in the da" book and posted 011 the debit or credit side of a ledper. so what 1 n earth could Peters do w ith it if he had it'.' Manifestly nothinp. If thiyy had known as much about human nature as you or I. thet" would have surmised that when Peters did fall it was time to stand from under. And who should Peters fail in love with but the very woman of all others whom ho oupht never have piven a thoupht to in other words, pretty lit tle Miss Sadie Henthnm, if you please. It made Peters himself cold when he thoupht of it, for he knew he had just as much chance of pet t inp the moon or the laur oateship as the consent of old man Hcntham. The clerks ai'va3"s said that it was Miss Sadie who fell iu love w ith Peters, principallv', I suppose, lie cause she should have known Itottcr, and I think my sclfthore is somothinp to Ik- said for that view of the matter. Anyhow, she came to her father's place of business very often and apparently very unnecessarily, but the old man was always pleased to see her. no mat ter how busy he happened to I.e. At first she rarely looked at l'eters, but when she did Hash one of those quick plances of hers at him poor Peters thoupht he bad the fi-vi-r ami asiiif He undersVxxl the symptoms later on. I don't know how thinps came to a climax; neither do the clerks, for that matter, althonph they pretend to. He sides, they are divided in their opinions, so 1 think their collective surmises amount to but vcy little. Johnson claims that it was done over the tele phone, while Farnam say's she came, to the office one da3 when her father was not there and proposed to Peters on the spot. One thinp the clerks are unanimous about, ami that is that Pe ters, left to himself, would never have had . the courape. Still, too much at tention must not lie paid to what the clerks say. What can they know aliout it? They arc in another room. Peters knew that he had no ripht to think altout. that pirl durinp business hours. He w as paid to think a!iut the old man and his affairs which were not nearly so inU-restinp. H.tt Peters w as conscientious, and he tried to do his duty. Nevertheless, the chances are that unconsciously little Miss Sadie oc cupied some small portion of his mind that should have been piven v.p to the concerns of Hentha.u llros. A Co., and her presence where she had not the sliphtest business to lie threw the rest of his mental machinery out of pear. It is very pvncrally admitted now that the fcpriphtly Miss Sadie manaped the whole affair. No one who kie-w Peters would ever have piven him the credit of proposing an elopement "ac cuse him of it," as Johnson puts it. She claimed that while she could man ape her father all ripht enouph up to a certain point, yet that in this parti.-nlar matter she preferred to ncpotijtc with him after marri..! r.-.lher t'nti ;n-f She h-i 'i :: .'I'ent det.l of t'.e d Iu.:' shr. iv.iiii --s P. .1 Sadie, l'e 1 to he w e 11 t ot I '.i. t i'..ivi' li.-rii- an " i . t : . t : - v a v he'.' deal.
