FEMALE INDIAN SLAVES. WOMEN OP ALI. TRIBES DOOMED TO A HOPELESS BONDAGE. r NEWSY GLEANINGS. Somrtimcs to Play Nall for T’iieir Masters’ Amusement—Ai- lectionate Wives ami Mothers. The women of all Indian tribes doomed to a hopeless bondage of slavery, the fate of their sex in every savage race, have but few amusements, says a writer in the Kansas City Star. They accept their condition stoically, however, by the unerring law of heredity through ages of abuse and servile obedience. The lower the tribe in the scale of humanity the more degraded are the women. Among the Diggers of Oregon and Washington, with which savages I passed three or four years, the poor squaws arc to be pitied. Living on roots and insects, which the women must furnish, their existence as a tribe may well be imagined to be a very precarious one. If the camas, a bulb grow ing deep in the ground and very sweet, should fail or the acorn and ‘'black cricket” crop be not plentiful in any year, their winter is liable to be one of pinching poverty and starvation. I have often looked with profound pity upon troops of their old and young squaws under the hot summer suu wan dering day after day over the prairies, the mothers with their little ones strapped to their backs, armed with a long won, with which they dug the sometimes hard soil for the roots, which furnish a largo portion of their support, haggard, broke down, but never complaining of their wearisome task. Among many of the tribes, however, the women are allowed to have some amusement, but it is gcuerally when their lords are half drunk. The Dako- tabs frequently permitted their women to indulge iu a game of ball which, how- i ever, differed entirely from that played by the men. When the men had worn j themselves out with their games, and were iu a maudlin stato from too much whisky hut wanted to have a little more fun, they would notify every one that the squaws were going to have a game of ball of their own. Then when the game began the bucks would roll over ou the ground and laugh at the curious antics of their squaws in their arkward playing. Frequently, when the men had been very lucky iu their trapping or had been successful iu making good trades with the whites, they would opeu their hearts and donate piles of gaudy goods, such as calicoes, ribbons and strings of beads, besides many other bright colored things known only to the Indian trade and found only in the stores of the traders. These things, which were to be the prizes contended for, would be put on a stick, which itself rested on two crotched poles upright in the ground and over which au old man kept guard. The old man was also umpire of the game. The women were then divided into two equal parties and the ball—or rather, two, for they play with two—fastened to tho ends of a string eighteen or twenty inches long. Every squaw engaged iu tho game holds in each hand a small stick, on which she must try to catch the string to which is attached the two balls, and when she succeeds in doing this she throws them to and over the goal of the side she is playing. It is a remarkably comical sight to see the wo men roll over iu the dust and dirt in the frantic efforts to catch tho string on their sticks, while the men lie fiat on the ground and roar with laughter at them. Notwithstanding the women are kept so degraded there is as much affection among them for their husbands and children as I have ever witnessed among the Caucasian race. I will relate one instance here which came under ray own observation, though I could present hun dreds. During the campaign of 1868-69 I was riding with a party of men and offi cers south of tho Arkansas. AVe had been watching some of the cavalry un earth three or (our dead warriors who han been killed by some scouts in a ter rible fight some weeks before, anil as we rode into a small ravine in the sand hills we came to a rude lodge, inside of which, ou a rough platform or bier, fashioned of green poles, reposed a dead warrior iu full war dress, his shield of buffalo hides, pipe ornamented with eagle feathers and ‘ ; s “medicine bag” lying on the ground beside him. At his head, on her knees, her hands clasped in the attitude of prayer, was a squaw frozen to death. AV’hich had first succumbed—the wound ed chief, her husband, or the devoted wife—to the awful cold of that winter prairie will never he known, but it shows her love for the man who had, perhaps, beaten her a hundred times. REV. DR. TALMAGE A Curious Old Pump. Those who have visited the fine old ruin of Carlsbrooke Castle, in the Isle of Wight, will remember that thero is a well thero which still yields a good sup ply of fresh water, which is drawn up from a depth of 300 feet by a very curi ous method. The cord from the bucket passes over a barrel like that of an ordin ary windlass, but this barrel ends in an enormous holiow wooden wheel, in which aa obedient donkey is led when water is required. The animal steps alongside the wheel, like a squirrei in its circular • age, and the bucket qua My rises to the surface.—AVm York They Play at Law Making.

V Siting any great city, wo are not satis fied until wo have also looked at its ceme tery. We examine all the styles of ceno taph, mausoleum, sarcophagus, cript and sculpture. Hero lies buried n statesnlail, yonder an orator» here a poet, out there an inventor, in some other place a great phi lanthropist. But with how much greater interest and with more depth of emotion w« look upon our family plot in the cemetery. In the one case it is a matter of public in terest, in the other it is a matter of private and heartfelt affection. But around the grave at which we halt this morning there are gathered all^ kinds ot stupendous in terest* At this sepulcher, I have to toll you —in this sepulcher there was buried a kingj a conqueror, an emancipator, a frieild, u brother, a Christ. Monarch of the universe, but bolie of bur bone, ami flesh of our flesh, hud sorrow of our sorrow, and heart of our heart. “Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” It has for surroundings the mnnor in the suburbs of Jerusalem, a manor owned by a wealthy gentleman by the name of Joseph. He was one of the court of seventy who had condemned Christ, but f think he had voted in the negative, or, being a timid man, had been absent fit the time ot the casting of the Vote He had laid out the parterre at great expense. It was a hot climate, and I suppose there were broad branched trees and wind ing paths underneath them, while here the waters rippled over the rock into a fishpool, and yonder the vines and tho flowers clam bered over the wall, and all around these were the beauties of kiosk and arboriculture. After the fatigues of the Jerusalem court room, how refreshing to come out in these suburbs botanical and potnological! 1 walk a little further op in the parterre and I come across a cluster of rocks, and I see on them the marks of a sculptor’s chisel. I come still closer and 1 find that there is a subterranean recess, and I walk down the marble stairs and come to a portico over the doorway~*an architecture of fruits and flowers ckisled by the hand of the sculptor. I go into the portico, and on either side there are rooms, two or four or six rooms of rock; in the walls niches, each niche largo enough to hold a dead body. One of these rooms of rock is especially wealthy with sculpture. It was a beautiful and charming spot. Why all this? The fact was that Jos eph, the owner of the parterre, of that wealthy manor, had recognized the fact that he could not always walk those gardens,and he sought this as his own last resting place. What a beautiful plot in which to wait for the resurrection! Mark well the mausoleum iu the rock. It is to be the most celebrated tomb in all the ages: catacombs of Egypt, tomb of Napoleon, Mahal Taj of India, nothing compared with it. Christ had just been murdered, and His body must be thrown out to the dogs and the ravens, as was customary with crucified bodies, unless there be prompt and eifective hindrance. Joseph, the owner of the mauso leum, begs for the body of Christ, and ho takes and washes the poor and mutilated frame from the blood and the dust, and shrouds it and perfumes it. I think embalmment was omitted. When in olden times they wished to embalm a dead body, the priest with some pretension of medical skill would show the point between the ribs where the incision was to be made. Then the operator would come and make the Incision, and then run for his life else ho would be slain for violating the dead body. Then the other priests would come with salt or niter, and cassia, and wine of palm tree, and complete the embalmment. But I think in this case em balmment was omitted lest there bo more excitement and another riot. The funeral advances. Present, Joseph,the owner of the mausoleum; Nicodemus, who brought the flowers, and the two Marys. Heavy bur den on the shoulders of two men as they carry the body of Christ down the marble stairs and into the portico, and lift the dead weight to the level of the niche in tho rock, and push tho body of Christ, into the only pleasant resting place it ever had. These men coming forth close tho door of rock against the recess Tho government, afraid that the disciples would steal the body of Christ and play resurrection, put upon the door the seal of the Sanhedrim, tbe violation of that seal, like tho violation of the seal of tho United States Government or of tho British Government, always followed with severe penalties. A regiment of soldiers from the tower oi Antonio is detailed to guard that mausoleum. At the door of that tomb a fight took place w hich decided the question for all graveyards and cemeteries. Sword of lightning against sword of steel. Angel of God against the military. Tho body in the crypt begins to move in its shroud of fine linen and slides down upon tho pavement, moves through the portico, appears in tho doorway, comes up the marble steps. Christ, having loft His mortuary attire behind Him, comes forth iu the garb of a workman, us I take it, from the fact that the women mistook Him for the gardener. There and then was shattered the tomb so that it can never be rebuilt. All the trowels of earthly masonry cannot mend it. For ever and forever it is a broken tomb. Death that day taking the side of the military re ceived n horrible cut under iho angel’s spear of flame, and must himself go down at tho last—tho King of Terrors disappearing be« fore the King of Grace. ‘ The Lord it risen.” Hosanna! Hosanna! O weep no more, your comforts slain; The Lord is risen; He lives again. liilo stan linj; around tin? placo wher, th* 1 If-tcI lay I nm impress 'd w itli the fact that mortuary honors c-amiot atone tor wrongs to tho living, if they could have atf< >rded Christ, such a costly sepulcher they could have afforded Him a decent earthly residence. Will they give a piece of marbla to the dead Christ when thov might have given a soft pillow to the living Christ? If they had put half the expense of that mausoleum in tho making of Christ’s life on earth comfortable the story would not havo been so sad. He wanted bread; they gave Him a stone. Christ, like every other beneiactor of the world, was better apore- ciated after He was dead. Standing in this place where tho Lord lay I am impressed with tho fact that floral and sculptural ornamentatiou are appropriate for the places of the dead. We are all glad that in the short time of tho Saviour’s inhu mation He lity amid flowers aud sculpture. I cannot quite understand what i see in the newspaiK-rs where, amid the announcements and obsequies, the friends request “send no flowers." Why, there is no placo so appro- priate for flowers os the casket of tbe de parted.. If your means allow—I repeat, if your moans allow—let thero be flowers ou the casket, flowers on the hoarse, flowers on the grave. Pat them on tho brow; it means coronation. Put them in the hand; it means victory. Christ was buried iu a parterre. Christ wus buried iu a garden. Flowers are types of resurrection. btandiug iu this place where the Lord lay I am also impressed with tho indignity of unpretending obsequies. Joseph that day was mourner, sexton, liveryman—hud the entire charge of all the occasion. Four people only at the burial of the King of the Universe. Let this tie consolatory to those who,through small means or lack of large acquaintances, have Imt little demonstration of grief at the grave ot their dead. It is not necessary. Long lino of glittering equipages, two ro-.rs of silver handles, casket of costly wood, pa'.! bearers scarfed and gloved are not voces- ■ary. Christ looks out from heaven at a burial where there are six in attendance, and re members there are two more than He hau at His olisequies. Not recognizing this idea how many small properties are scattered in’ the funeral rites, and widowhood and or phanage go out to tho cold charity of the world. Tiie departed left enough prop’rly to have kept the family together until the ■ could take care of themselves, hut it is ail absorbed in the funeral rites. That went for crape which ought to havo gone for bread. A man of small means can hardly afford to die in one of our great cities! Funeral pageantry is not necessary. No one was ever more lovingly and tenderly put into tue grave than Christ, but there were only four in the procession. Again, standing in this place where tho laird lay, 1 am impressed with the fact that you cannot keep the dead down. The : eal of the Fanhedrim, a regiment of soldiers from tho tower or Antonio to stand guard floor of rock, roof of rock, wall of rock! niche of rock cannot keep Christ in the crypt. Come out and come up He must. Came out and came up He did. Preflgura- Cou. The first fruits of them that sleep. Just as certain as you and I go down into tlio grave, just so certain we will come up shall strike through them. Among tbecorals of the sea, miles deep, where the shipwrecked rest, the sound will strike. No one will mis take It for thunder or the blast of earthly minstrelsy. There will be heard the voice of tbe uncounted millions of the dead, whoooms rushing out of tho gates of eternity, flying toward ths tomb crying; “Make way! Oh, grave, gives us back our body! We gave it to you In corruution; surrender it now iu incorruptlon." Thousuuds of spirits arising from tho field ot Setan, and from dmong the rooks of Gettysburg, and from among tho passes ot South Mountain. A hundred thou sand are crowding Greenwood. Uu this grave threo spirits meet, for there were three bodies in that tomb! Over that fam ily vault twenty spirits hover, for there '.vers twenty bodies. From New York to Liverpool, at every few miles on the sea route, a group of hun dreds of spirits coming down to tho water to meat their boiRes. Sea that multitude. That is where the Central America sank? And yonder multitude! That is where the Pacifis went down. Found at last! That is where the City of Boston sank. And yonder the President went down. A solitary soirit alights on yonder prairie. That Is where a traveler iwrished in the snow. The whole SELECT SIFTINGS. • v., Jwv* MMts vvo Wlil UUUAO up again.

Though wo be buried under the coral of tho deepest cavern of the At lantic Ocean we will rise to the surface. Various scriptural oocounts say that tbs work of grave breaking will begin with the blast of trumpet* and shoutings; whence I take it that tho first intimation of tiie day will be a sound from heaven such us has never before been heard, it may not he so very loud, but it will be penetrating.

Tho stone is in shape and size like a pigeon’s egg,of a dark brown color externally, and at first sight opaque. If viewed in a dark place, with a candle ot other light so placed that the rays pass through the stone before falling ou the retina, however, one sees distinctly the image of a man from the waist upward.
