LOVED LIFE TOO WELL.

One of the repalsive ffatures of the daws under which the Natchez Indians |

; Were governed was that when a mem ber of the royal family of the nation died it was necessary that several others

of the people should accompany him to the tomb by suffering death at the hands of executioners. When the “great sun,’’ the hereditary chief of the whole nation, died, all his wives, in case he were provided with more tham one, and also several of his sub jects, were obliged to follow him into the vale of shadows. The ‘‘littlesuns,’’ secondary chiefs, and also members of the royal family, likewise claimed, when dying, their tribute of death from the living. In addition to this, the in- exorable law also condemned to death any man of the Natchez race who had married a girl of the royal line of the “suns."’ On the occasion of her death he was called upon to accompany her. **I will narrate to you upon this sub- ject,’’ writes an old French chronicler of Louisiana, ‘‘the story of an Indian who was not in a humor to submit to this law. His name was Etteacteal. He had contracted an alliance with the sans.’ The honor came near having a fatal result for him. His wife fell sick, and as soon as he perceived that she was approaching her end he took to flight, embarking in a pirogue on the Mississippi, and sought a refuge in New Orleans. He placed himself under the protection of the governor, who was at that time M. de Bienville, offering him self to be the governor’s hunter. The governor accepted his services, and in- terested himself in his behalf with the Natchez, whe declared, in answer, that he had nothing to fear, inasmuch as the ceremony was over, and as he had not been present when it took place he was no longer available as a candidate for execution. ’’—New Orleans Picayune.

Fiower Painters.

About the last literary work complet- ed by the late Cora Stuart Wheeler was @ beautiful tribute to ‘‘Some Court Painters to Queen Rose’’ published in The Woman’s Home Companion, in which she says:

*“‘As a rule, women make the best flower painters. The men who excel in thie branch of art are comparatively few, even when we consider the small mumber of artists of both sexes who have acquired reputation in the pictur- ing of flowers. The reason is not diffi- cult to see. The average woman has a fondness for flowers which brings her into the closest sympathy with them and enables her to appreciate and un- derstand them as men seldom do. In the interpretation of certain subtle phases of floral life her sensitive tem- perament and the peculiarly sympathetic feeling that she is apt to bring to her labor of love especially qualify her for engaging in this department of picture making. In point of technical ability some marvelously clever work has been done by artists of the gentler sex in the reproduction of flowers and in the treatment of difficult subjects.’’

TWIN TORTURERS

made Harmless by Dodd’s Kidney Pills.

Lumbago and Rheumatism cause endless pain and _ suffering. man and woman who runs chances of getting wet, or catching cold, is liable to suffer from one or both. Our hospitals are full of sufferers from these diseases; none are more pain- ful. Every nerve is on fire; every joint is a centre of agony ; every mus- ele an area of torture. To move hand or foot makes the victim shriek with agony.

Rheumatism makes more cripples than all the railroad accidents that ever happened. ‘Twisted, mis-shapen caricatures of humanity, who cannot walk without musery, are to be seen every day. The kidneys are to blame. If they are healthy you needn’t fear Rheumatism or Lumbago. Dodd’s Kidney Pills keep the kidneys healthy and cure Rheumatism and Lumbage.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—The (uebee Coronicle remarke: “A relic of Cana pre-confederation days still flourishes on Prince Edward Island, nthe form of an antiquated system of iirect taxation. One ofthe taxes is an annual impost of $15 on commercial trav- ellers representing houses from the out- ‘ide provinces. Not content with th’s, the legislature has just supplemented th: taxing act by a law declaring that if any outside house sells goods in

’ ias

the province through an agent who has not paid the required fee and received his license, the price of such goods shall not be collect- able.” The Chronicle is in error in sup- posing the tax refetred to bea relic ot pre-confederation days. It is a pure pro- duct of our latter day local Liberal Gov- erpment,

~The New York Tribune prints tke following from its London correspondent with reference to the meeting of the Anglo~American League on Wednesday : “The most significent remark which was made at the meeting was Lord Farrer’s declaration that prudence was as unneces sary as enthusiasm inthe direction of a

movement for the promotion of better relationa between two countries. He emphasized the statement by = an

explicit reference to the policy of expansien upon which the American entering, and by a pointed reminder that the ‘open door’ was England’s principle in the development of her commercial empire whereas other nations closed the door in establishing consequently, he urged that it was a matter of the utmost impotance for England to ascertain whether the Americana in their career cf expansion, would keep the door Opeo or closed.”

—A vernacular paper called the Hindu- staniof Lucknow, the leading Congress journal of Ondh, in aremarkable article on Mr. Gladstone’s death, saya: ** We (Indians) are yet far from true progress. Englishmen rule over ns because they are possessed of those high moral virtues of which we have not a vestige. Nor are we likely to acquire them for centuries yet. Leave alone political matters, is there among usa pions, highly moral man? Does be get justice done him? Are not the people ever ready everywhere to put him into trouble? In municipal committees the only work entrusted to us is the repair of drains and roads, and vet how badly we acquit ourselves. Old friendships are broken, lifelong feuds be- gun; brother fights with brother; al! social amenities between political opponents are forbidden. But look at Englishmen! They rule over large empires. They di- vide tuemselves into political parties, and in debate or discussions often use strong, even unwerrantable, language against each other. But thev have virtue and generosity enough to entertain esteem and regard even for political opponents. The bebavior of the English nation in the matter of Mr. Gladstone’s death ia without parallel inthe world. [tis impossible for our narrow minds to understand how a man can devote himself tothe *ervice of hie nation. Itis very essential before we demand political rights and privileges from the Eoglishmen (our rulera) that we should endeavor to acquire those virtues which alone have made Englishmen great among the rations of the world”

GERMAN MOTIVES.

The reason why the German warship interfered at the Philippines is given in recent despatch, It appears that the Ger- mao Government holda the position that Aguinaldo, and the men operating with him, have never been recognized as_bel- ligerants by the United States or by any other power, and that this government does not publicly recognize them eyen as allies. The Irene prevented the insur~ gente from attacking the Spaniards for humanitarian purposes, and because her commander did not think they had a re- cognized place in warfare to conduct mili- tary Opsrations. As soon as the American warships put in au appea ance the lie se,a.- though almost equal in tonnage to the two American ships, withdrew, and paid th representatives of the United States due deference. There is no disposition at pre- sent to formaily dispute this position of dermany, but the explanation is looked upon with suspicion by the authorities at Washington.

Keith axp Dewey.—B. F. Keith, the widely known theatrical mavager, was a mess boy on the steamship Ashland in L868. “Imade him quit the sea, ” said Capt. Norton, “ because he was alwav« terribly seasick in heavy weather. We have kept up our friendship ever since, aod indulgein an occasional correspon - dence. Keith is a patriotic American, and ke has no use for Europe, with all sides of which he made himself familiar during recent journey covering eighteen montos of time abroad. Here isa para- graph from one o1 his recent Jetters to me, showina that he is abreast of the times in general matters, as well as in those per. taining to his business as a theatrics] manager: When we learn to respect our- selves and what we have in as proportion- ate aod asdiguified away and manner a- foreigners do themselves and what they have, we shall] be vastly more respected abroad. Admire] Dewey hasdriven a great entering wedge ina naval way in this rea - pect.which can be successfully followed up by Americans generally, in private as wel! as in pnblic life, ”

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES

Mail and Empire: While he isgiving his attention to the legalizing of illegal voves and thereby securing a majority in the Legislature, Mr, Hardy should pass an act declaring all the votes recorded against Messrs Gibson aud Dryden to be illegal. W hat is the use of doing things by halves?

Montreal Gazette: Richard Harding Divis complained that General S after was foncer of talking than of fighting. The upshot bas proved that it was pegotia-~ tion and not fighting that was wanted. It is as much of a diplomatic as a military victory. Shafter’s abilities as a general may be doubted; but his success asa diplomatist is beyond dispute.

Guelpb Herald: Either constables had, x bad not, a rightto vote at the last elec~ ron, Ifthe bad the right, accerding to the law of the Jand, the courts of /the land wilproct them. If the right was not ‘heirs, their votes were rot legal, and the men who, by their votes, were elected are not the legal representatives of the people. Mr. Hardy has called together represent~ ativesthe legality of whose election is seriously questioned, and by their votes he proposes to enact legislation that will legalize their election. The men who have no legal righ! t> sit in the Legislature are going to give a reading to the statues that will make them duly qualified legislators.

Mail and Empire: The party organs are publishing lists of factories that are ex- tending theirarea and their operations. We welcome the lists because they shew that while Providence by giving us good crops, leo gives us home markete, pro- teclion saves those markets for our own workmer. Wher-ver a factorv enlarges it is enabled todo so because free trade has not struckit. Wherever the artisan is employed he enjoys his employment be- cause in hiscase the old policy of the Conservatives remains, The Ottawa men were driven from the all<along-the line assanit upon industry which they had cov- templated. Would that we could drive them aleo from the policy of greed and from the deals.
