Friday Horning, August ll, 1871.
Civilization, with all its attendant
blessings, is rapidly spreading nmong
tho aboriginal inhabitants of Dakota.
They already have a newspaper printed
in their own languago, though we fear it
is edited, at lea?t in part, by some ex?
patriated Jenkins of the New York press.
This 'enterprising journal is called
"lapekaoatrfiue" in the Dakotan dialect,
or "Portable Talk" in English-a much
better name for a newspaper than many
which, prevail in this country. lape
kaoauhue has a column of "Fashionable
Gossip," which gives ns all the news
.from the beau monde- out there, and.
some of it is singularly interesting, as
the following translation will ?how: -
"A brilliant assembly convened on
Sunday at the palatial wigwam of the
venerable Chief.Glass-Eye, to celebrate,
the . nuptials of his blooming daughter,
French-Mustard, and. of the valiant
Soung ohieftain, Wiiiskoy-Straight. The
ride was gorgeously appareled in a ma?
genta horse-blanket, trimmed with three-,
ply carpet, out bias. The happy pair
proceeded at once to Ground Hog's
Glory, the country rancho of Ace-High,
tho groom's uncle, where they purpose
io tarry half e, moon.
"Frairie-Ohioken, the athletic and ac?
complished daughter of his Excellency
Nnvy-Plog, the. big chief of the Soutn
Sioux Nation, ian walk off under a big?
ger baok-load of buffalo beef than any
other squaw in the Buckskin Basin.
"A chaste and elegant war-dance was
executed, last evening, at G?rter-Snake
Lodge, as a suitable send-off fora picked
band of braves, who bave sharpened
their sheath-knives for a choice selec?
tion of Arapaho scalps. Bone?Spavin
and Shagbark-Hiokory wero conspicuous
for the energy and abandon of their per?
formance. Yoong Hambletonian flashed
through the rough-and-tumble mazes of
the dance in a coat of yellow ochre and
?opal varaish; Small For Sam appeared
in venetian red, with white trimmings;
Todpolo in the most dazzling vermillion;
while the paint and feathers of the en?
tire company were of the most recherche
description. -The war-whoop of Smooth
Bore was noticeable for its melodious
quality."
We have nothing from Long Branch,
Saratoga or Newport that is in better^
taste Yhan -that. And jot, we boast of
our superior, civilization.
TRON-CLAD CHURCHES.-At a time
wiii a so muoh money is spending in
building oh ur oh os, a a ul) j cet of deep in?
terest to all-.denominations is the rela?
tive value of the varions, materials used
for this purpose, and the advantages of
the different styles- of architecture. In
New York a warm controversy in in pro?
gress, privately, between certain old and
new Behool- architects on theso matters.
The "iron-clad" church built last year
in Brooklyn for the Rev. T. De Witt Tal
mage's congregation, and which, though
seating 8,200 people, cost only $35,000,
is attracting much attention, and is tho
chief canse of the controversy, since
many congregations not overflowing
with wealth, but desirons of having
handsome churches, aro disonssing the
propriety of following the example of
the owners ot this "Brooklyn Taberna
ole." This tabernacle was erected in the
? following manner: A frame-work of lim?
ber was raised and inlaid with brick.
Boarding was then nailed, on diagonally,
outside and io, and fluted iron was nailed
over this. It is claimed that the fluted
iron is a great aid to the preacher, as
tho'same voice will bo much easier hoard
in such a building than in one of the
same size and configuration that is plas?
tered. Conversations held with various
loading architects dovelo po the fact that
the majority of them are greatly op?
posed to this new and "flimsy" church
architecture. .
Tho- New York Ev?ning Mail has seen
a letter on the subjeot of narrow gunge
railways* from Mr. Robert Fairlie, tho
distinguished English engineer, who
has been identified from the first with
the narrow gauge in Europe. He writes
that the experiments .made in. Russia are
completely successful, and as evidence of
it gives the foot that trains of 345 tons
are. hauled by light engines over light
rails up an inolihe of one in eighty for
five miles-251 tons of the whole amount
carried being paying freight. This is
2.78 paying tons for every one of dead
weight. On roads of tho present gauge
in this country, the proportion of puying
to'dead weight is*one to one, so that, aa
Mr. Fairlie puts it, while Russian nar?
row gauge roads carry 254 tons in 03
tons of oars, we require 254 tons of cars
at least to givo the same results. Mr.
Fairlie gives it as his deliberate opinion
that tho engine bearing bis name, with
light rolling stock on a two-foot gauge,
xviii perform a greater servioo than the
best broad gauge road in the United
States, and that there will bo a great
saving besides. He prefers the three
foot gauge to all others, behoving that it
has a greater capacity than any other
ever attempted.

The New York Mail says: Tho. daily
in?vol in und out of New York to su?
burban places is immense, -and rivals,
that of Loudon. A million people a
week is the record so far, while from
Newark alone thero are eighty-eight
trains daily to tho cjty. Follj one-half,
if not mere, of our business men live
out of town, and the metropolis is got?
tingtobe a. mere workshop and count?
ing house. People of moderate incomes
aro forced to Beek a leas expensive living
place, and only the very rich or the very
poor remain behind.
Detroit has a baso ball dub (colored)
called the Waving Lilies.
Philadelphia, with that blind disre?
gard for propriety which has so long
bean its .chief characteristic, resents.Ho?
race Greeley's ..-advice; .to remove from
Independence Hall "ali extraneous mat
tor, except the j?elios,proporly pejftaiqing
to tho revolutionary struggle and its
close." Said "matter" being understood
to consist of captured Southern stand
arda and the portraits of modern still
living heroes. The Evening Bulletin
fairly howie with patriotic indignation
at the proposition,, calls it a folly, a
crime, aud soorns to propitiate "any
mun in whom tho spirit of rebellion still
rankles^as a root ot bitterness."
If the editor of this journal was.a mau
of tho enlarged observation, liberal ideas
aud common charity his calling demands,
ho would at once discover that the ques ?
tion is simply one of good taste alone,;
neither principle nor patriotism being
imperiled by an aot of courtesy, even if
extended to a fallen foe. Only narrow
minded bigotry and a contempt for the
amenities could possibly fail to make
this proper discrimination.
We cannot forget, howev.er, that Phi?
ladelphia was always sadly lacking in this
respect, aud is rather renowned for its
gaucheries, which, while sometimes
springing from good motives, are never?
theless so essentially little in their nature
as lo have often made io times past the
unskillful laugh and the judicious grieve.
A case in point returns to ns.
Upon the occasion of the Princo of
Wales' visit to the -Quaker City, he was
entertained at the Point Breezs Park,
and on that occasion it was-deemed the
'proper thing to bring General Washing?
ton's state coiroh-exaotly reproducing
his establishment, in team and livery
out upon the'track-for his old enemy's
grand-son and the city's guest to feast
his eyes upon. For fear this delicate
attention would not be noticed, it was
farther, deemed courteous in the half
dozen occupants of the old revolutionary
memento, to drivo up in front of tho
stand and give the Prince a personal in?
vitation to "jump in and ride around
tho traok." None present doubted the
credit due on the score of sarcastic bra?
vado, though many, marvelled at the
quiet toleration afforded to such gross
impropriety and ill-breeding. Else?
where it is taught, and, we believe, gene?
rally admitted, that a regard for the
feelings of others is the oorner-stone of
gentility. Certainly Cou.-Washington
shared that opinion, and the wanton,
though petty, not was a gross libel upon
his memory and character.
lu the case of Independence Hall, as
the editor of the Bulletin truly remarks,
it belongs to Philadelphia, and that city's
people have a right to do as they please
with regard to it. - Far be it from we of
the Sonth to question them; still we
might mildly urge that it is rather ex?
pecting too mnqh to, ask co-operation in
a groat public celebration at the expense
of humiliation and insult, particularly
when it is to be avoided by a simple act
of common courtesy, prompted alone by
the dictates of good taste. Among tho
good and chivalrous of all ages, such op?
portunities have rather boon welcomed
than resented; but if Philadelphia's
loyalty is so imperviously adamantine as
to resist the least ton oh of feeling, we aro
content they should rejoice in their ex?
ceptional glory, while wo look on to
marvel-and to pity.
[New Orleans Times.
When tho green-eyed monster plants
his envenomed fangs in tho vitals of a
West Tennessee youth, it is always best
for the whole neighborhood to look out
Tor squalls. Some days ago there was a
densely attended wedding not very far
from Jackson, in that end bf the State.
Among the very few who wore not pre?
sent on tho occasion was a young man
who was .known to bo desperately in
love with the bride, nod whose heart and
baud she had "rejected with scorn." In
the midst of the marriage ceremony tho
house was suddenly shaken to its very
foundations by something resembling a
mixture of earthquakes aud discharges
of artillery. Tho rejected lover, iu or?
der to bo revenged, hud piled up a num?
ber of shells under the smoke-house and
touched them off with a train of powder.
The scene which followed tho explosion
is said to have beggared description.
The smoke-iionso, with its several thou?
sand pounds of bnoon, was hurled high
into tho air and- scattered to the four
winds of heaven. Tho bride fainted in
the arms of her adored ono, tho rest' of
the calico screamed, the men Bwore, and
for some little timo tho wildest conster?
nation prevailed. Meanwhile tho young
mau, with his soul steeped in the sweets
of rovonge, took to his heels and has
never been soon since. Voting ladies of
West Tennessee who are about to marry
should have their rejected lovers bound
over to keep out from under the smoke?
house with their shells. * '
Thomas Jefferson wrote of Mario An?
toinette: "This angel, so gatfdily paint?
ed in tho rhapsodies of Burke, with
some smartness of fancy, bot no sound
sense, was proud, disdainful of restraint,
indignant nt nil obstacles to hor will,
eager in tho pursuit of pleasure, and
firm enough to hold to her desires or
perish in their wreck. Her inordinate
gambling and dissipations with those of
tho Count d'Artois end others of her
oliqne bad boon a sensible item in the
exhaustion of tho treasury which called
into action tho reforming baud of the
nation; and hor opposition to it, her in?
dexible perverseness and dauntless spirit,
led herself to the guillotine, drew the
King on with her, and plunged the
world into crimes and calamities which
will forever stain the pages of modern
history."

PRINCES' WAGES.-Tho salaries and ex?
penses of the royal family of Eogland
are defrayed from the ioootuo of . th,0' .
Crown Lands. This amounted, during
I tba year ending 31 at March, 1870, Ito
??447,724, all of which, exoept a small,
i por" ooo tog?, wont for tho maintenance of
tbe^ Queen sud bet hounohold. Tho
Queen Ima nu annual allowance of ?385,
UUO, of which ?60,000 are set aside for
ber privy pu rue-tbat is, uses beyond
any necessary expenses wbiob Parlia?
ment cnn anticipate; the salaries of bor
household (?231,260;) tho pensions of
rotired servants (?44,240;) and even the
royal bounty (?13,200) being provided
for specially. These aro tho. Bums fixed
by tho Orst Act of Parliament formed
during Victoria's reign, and which Mr.
Gladstone is so often referring to in Par?
liament as a "contract" which cannot be
-gain said or come short of. Tho Queen,
besides these SIIUIK, hus the proceeds of
the estates of tho Duchy of Lancaster,
wbiob are taken care of as public proper?
ty, and wbiob yielded ber, during tho
period referred to, a net incomo of ?31,
000. Tho Prince of Wales, in like man?
ner, as Duke .of Cornwall, enjoys the
rentals of tbat rich Duchy, amounting
to ?63,537. Tho annual allowances,
therefore, of tho Queon nod her ROUS
aud daughters, including tkeso sums,
and reduced to American currency, ure
as follows: Victoria, Si,600,000; Prince
of Wales, annuity, $200.000; Prince of
Wales, rentals, S317.935; Duchess of
Oambridgo, $30,000; Princess Augusta,
?15,000; Duke of Cambridge, 860,000;
PriucoBS of Teck, $25,000; Princess
Alice, 830.000; Prince Alfred, ?60,000;
Princess Helens, $30,000; Princess
Louise, $30,000; Prince Arthur, (?)
$50,000; total, so far, $2,447,935. We
say "total so far,*' for there aro still two
soions of royalty to be endowed. Prince
Leopold, who, if tho Parliament shall
not grow stiogy before bo shall come of
age, in 1874, will, doubtless, be granted
?10,000 a year; und Princess Beatrice,
who will ask for ?6,000 a year whenever
ehe shall be allied to n scion of some
royal family, or, perchance, to one of
her mother's subjects, like ber sister'
Louise. In view of the numeronancHS
of the royal family, And the increasing
demand of tbe Democrats for retrench?
ment in tbe civil list, it must, undoubt?
edly, be a source of great gratification to
the ministry that there are bat two
princes left on their bands to be cared
for. These young Guolpbs, in turn,
need not give themselves any very seri?
ous concern as to the matter of dowry,
since the opposition in tho Commons to
an allowance ba's increased only eight
votes-viz: from, three to eleven-since
Louise was endowed; and thin rate of
progression, whether arithmetically or
geometrically reckoned, would not yield
a majority if continued through two
moro votoB.
The Chicago Times publishes an ac
aount cf an accideut at a funeral: "The
parlors where the. coffin was resting were
exceedingly full of people, so that the
unusual weight upon the floor caused it
to give way during the address of the
minister, and * precipitated the wbole
crowd, collin, minister and mourners,
into tho cellar. Tho room below was
used as a pantry or store-room and dai?
ry, and contained a number of pans of
milk, jars of butter, jam, preserves, ?c.,
so that almost every one wns accommo?
dated with a liberal daubing of one or
moro of these articles. The Chicago
lady, who informed the writer of the ca?
tastrophe, was particularly fortunate,
managing to get ono foot into a jar of
butter, another into a pan of milk, while
a shelf of honey was deposited in ber
lap. To add to tho confusion, the collin
was broken by tho fall and thc corpse
landed in a barrel of soft soap."

oopy of which we are indebted to Messrs.
Bryan <v< McCartcr. It is by the author
of "A Book for Governesses." The pre?
face will give an excellent idea of tho
couteots of the work:
"We live in an ago of artificial wants
nod artificial supplies-an age when
largo- appearance is valued more than
real -worth, and polished falsehood
deemed sweeter than plain truth.
A mao may bo truo aud juat in
nil (his dealings, upright and con-,
scientioua enough to bute a lio and scorn
a shallow sophistry; yet,-if he have not
the gloss of a worldling-the tone of
good society-the impudence which
never blushes, and the effrontery which
is never ashamed, ho is-what is he?
uothing. 'Who is that?' 4That! who?
Mr.-*-; oh, deer"rsc! I wcndpr you
shonld ask who fie ie, why he's nobody
at all-nobody.'
"When tho 'nobodies* ?ball be recog?
nized ns 'somebodies,'and the '.some?
bodies' testeuKtill they sink-into 'no?
bodies;* when we learn to recognize the
'soul of good in things evil,' Booiety will
not be snell a sham, and we shall be
shamed out of our paltriness, and grow
to the full etatnro of men and women."
The prico is sixty cents.
