i ; e:: -y t islmiv how it may lie mailu use of as
i s -inr ite fai-tor in the moral diieast; of our
i.oi! poliiie:
Favr, then, iillencss and vieo are closer ro
l ited tlian loverly anil vice, for, us laiiorson
saj's, "a man's daily ta-k is his sal vatioii,"
and a 1'iisy por.r nan is less liable to tempta
tion than a I ieh idier. It is .to occupy the
attention of those who are by.foreo of cir
cumstances or choice idle that tlio govern
ment should exert it-elf. The Roman rul"rs
recognized this principleand .dadiatorial con
tests, yre.it sham sea lights ami festivals were
arrani d toamnsu tiie people, liiropean ely
nast ies carry out the samo plan in ditrerent
forms. liands of music parade regularly and
play in the open squares of nil the largo and
many small cities of the continent, for tho
astute nionarehs well know that tho peoplo
forget their misery and poverty in tho enjoy
ment of tho music, and at tho same time a
pati iotie feeling is awakened by military
pomp and national hymns. It may be too
much to say that Germany conquered Franco
with "Die Wacht am Rliein," but no one can
tell what might have occurred if tho French
soldiers could have had a new vigorous patri
otic song to Lave marched to battle with as
ilid the Germans. As surely cs the patriotic
sentiment should be cultivated, so sure is it
l.. "t music should be encouraged. Put it is of
music in the home, at the fireside, that one
should chiefly speak, for the hearthstone is
the nursery of the nation, tho cradle of honor
or vice. Here is a family whoso parents do
not sing or play any instrument; their chil
dren grow up, and tho ordinary games are
soon worn out. A neighboring ealoon has a
line barrel orcau; here, they congregate as
often as expedient. Or soms neighbor's boy
lias a miith organ; they will crowd around
him, follow him, and, charmed out of mis
chief, will pass many an innocent hour in as
pure del:;:ht as a poet ever dreamed of. But
they hav-? no music "at home,"md when they
can't pick up some few itinerant strains
they roam about, soon become pett- thieves,
end in time are mustered in at the Bridewell
and join the army at the penitentiary. An
other family giicture in the same strata of
life: Ths father plays tiie "fiddle,'" the mother
learned to sing a little, mid though the voice
never knew the meaning of that mysterious
phrnso, "voice building." yet sho could sing
Siindny school tunes, a few comic songs, per
haps, p.v 1 a ballad or two like "Way Down
Upon tl.e Suwanee River." After suppi r and
on Sundays the children, and now end then a
neighbor's chil.lreu, gather around and are
! fa-rough the mazes .f "Virgmia Reel,"
"i;; r.-r Hornpipe," or son.o "Carnival of
W::ii ' with variations, while tho mother's
vo'"e . -on in Is sweeter to the little ones than
Pattys she sings her favorite song or leads
in some hymn, like "Rock of Ages Cleft for
Me," in which all can join. These children
r-pend their evenings mostly at home. Soon
the oldest learns to play a fhito, and by gre; t
economy a cabinet organ is provided for the
sister, so that a family orchestra is finally es
tablished, and. the years roll around whi'o
these hearts expand in harmony and tee
waves of temptations beat in vain egaiiiat
this fortress cf lmioic.
Thee are pictures a-n"ngthe poor. Among
tho rich it is worse, because the life is more
complex. Take the career of two young
men sent to college at the same age. One
hr..l parents who sang in church, had. their
children sing at home and even bad them in
structed in piano playing (to be sure, tho
teacher was a poor g:rl, whom they pa
tronized from a feeling of charity; anil her
instruction was very mild). The other didn't
like music, endured it only tit church as a
necessary evil, taught his boy that all musi
cians were fools, or worse, etc. The first ono
wkiled away Lis spr.re hours at college with
piano playing, j j."ned the glee club and took
a pride in Lis music as an accomplishment.
Ho comes home, and the first thing after set
tling down hi. mother finds him at the piano
singing soma college songs. IIo goes to
church as much for the music as tho ser
mon, and joins in tho hernias; is on good
terms with tho organist, cultivates the ac
quaintance of Profess'.T Blank, the pianist,
and finally joins an amateur musical club,
where he spends cno night each weak regu
larly. The other boy is a good sportsman, with a
liberal hand in gambling. His muscle is the
largest in his class. He knows all the best
oarsmen, best prize fighters and fastest horses
in the country. Upon Lis arrival at home the
club house or the pool room is his first care,
and then the races and the companionship of
fast men. It is but one step mora to the com
panionship of questionable characters, and if
this young man does not tufti up in the po
lice court some morning uuder an assumed
name it will be strange or owing to stingi
ness or a special providence.
There are hundreds and thousands of idle
men in a city like Chicago. Is it not better
to occupy their thoughts with music than to
leave them to brood over their misfortunes,
and rub the itch of their poor opinions until
they become scabs on the body politic? A
city band of music performing each day in a
public place would draw to it many who
would otherwise bj in mischief, aud, it would
pay to engage thirty or forty men by the
year to play regularly every day.
We hire a small army cf men to keep filth
and garbage from accumulation in our
streets. Is not the accumulation of mental
and moral garbage just as dangerous? The
pure and inspiring effect of a good band of
music will act as a aisinfectant, purifying
the condition of mental dopravity as no other
medium can. Again, scores of men are en
gaged in beautifying our parks and drives,
which tho poor cannot enj"y because they
are so far away. If the money of the tax
payers can thus be used to pay for flowers to
delight the sense cf sight of rich people, who
own carriages, can it not be justly appro-
priated to buy music for the pocr? It is time
; cur per-pli begin to think of these things,
and eor-sider if it is uot as wise to amuse the
j poor as to eutertaiifthe rich; if it is not wiser
to preveut than to punish crime. Chicago

Civilization of tho Noble K-1 Man of
tlio West "Klankfrt" IihILiiin I'ony
and I I'lurkiiii; Out the I tear..
C.'li i !ti roi mill Song.
Nothing so molls n savage into a civilized
stat e as t ho ne'-e--!ty of making a living in
-i v i i i :.' d ways. 'J'li. -re are no other wu3's for
him now. The bnll'a'o are none from the
plains, the elk from tho mountains. There is
no wild grass for his pony save the grass
upon the re.si rval ion. Before the advance of
railroads and civilization he has yielded year
by year, till there is now no more, for him to
yield to civilization but himself. lie yields
stubbornly; he does not like the white man's
ways. Among ".,oOO Absaracas who have
fought and associated with the whiles for a
generation not 10'J speak English, and when
they are taught it in the schools they disdain
to speak it one.j they nro in tho camp again.
The blanket is ins parable from the idea of
the wild Indian. It is the emblem of sav
agery. Ind.ico him to lay aside the blanket
and replace it with coat and pantaloons and
ho is civilize!. Thi. id so t mo that they are
classed as civilized Indians and blankest
Indians. The blanket is wrapped about the
body, brought up over tin head and all the
face enveloped except the eyes. If he is in
dueed to work, ho holds the folds of the
blanket in tho left hand and uses the ax or
hoo with tho right. With tho squaw tho
blanket serves a double purpose; it is dress
for herself and cradle fur the pn;oosc. A
dexterous folding of it forms u pouch upon
the Lack and in this tho papoose rides, peer
ing beside its mother's head as she trots along.
"The eartli is. our mother; to plow tho
ground is to scratch her skin, to dig ditches
is t w u::d Ir r bosom, to open mines is to
crack her hones, and she will receive no
i:.diai:s when they die if they so itbiije her."
This is tho explanation the Indian gives of
his disinclination to work. That is tho poetry
of it; tiie fact is that tho Indian, like his
white brother, is lazy and only works when he
cannot help it. But the Indian is learning
to labor. His native food, the wild
game of tho fore.-t and plain, is gone;
the government issue of beef and ba
con is scanty, aud, liko tho improv
ident negro, he often eats the rations
for the week in two or three days. Tho stim
ulus of hunger has drivn him to work.
Every family of tho Absaracas or Crows,
among whom tho writer sojourns, during tho
past year has lived at its own Lome and cul
vated il3 ewn crop. Tho lands are now being
allotted, but the system of separation and
family ownership is already in operation under
the ellieient management of tho agent, a dis
tinguished Mississippian. Each family pos
sesses a cabin, a roothouse for winter pro
visions, a corral for horses, and a wire
inelosure for cultivation, and in this they
have raised corn, potatoes, grain, melons aud
vegetables, the government furnishing all
seed and tools.
It was unkind to call them Crows. There
is little enough poetry in the real Indian,
how noble soever his red brother of romance
may be, and surely it is unkind to take from
him that little he has. The Absaraea, their
own name for themselves, is quite diHerent
from tho ill famed bird wo call a crow. It is
a small blue hawk, of graceful poise and swift
flight, common upon the prairie.
The Crow reservation is perhaps the largest
and most valuable possessed by any tribe.
Lying '2W miles along the Northern Pacific
railroad in Montana, and extending south
ward to the Wyoming lino, it is traversed by
many clear mountain streams with fertile
bottoms, and bordered on the south and west
by mountains rich in minerals. The Crows
Lave ever been friends of the whites, abetting
them in their long wars with the Sioux, the
Nea I'erees and other northwestern tribes.
They are rich in land, ponies and cattle.
The pony and dog are part of the Indian
family. The pony is tho property of tho
buck ; he never walks. The tlog is the sequi
tur of the squaw. I have seen as many as
eleven at the heels of one Indian woman.
They are mongrels of every breed, domestic
cud wild, are jioor and worthless, but eat at
the same table and sleep in the same bed with
their erect kinsmen. Botii men and women
are expert riders. 1 Lave seen children 3 and
4 years old furiously racing the half broken
ponies.
Though there are many aged people in the
Absara'-u tribe, I have never seen one whose
hair was perfectly white. It is often streaked
with gray ami sometimes quite grizzly in the
very old. When it becomes gray it is often
a fancy witn them to paint it red. The hair
grows long upon the heads of the men as
well as tho women, and is never cut save as
an evidence of mourning. They wear no
beard, plucking out each hair as it comes
upon tho face. They caiTy suspended from
the neck by a string tfpair of broad tweezers
of their own construction for this purpose,
aud the young buck in arranging his toilet
examines his chin carefully in the mirror to
be sure no oirending capiila is there. Prob
ably from generations of such rough usage
the beard grows sparsely when undisturbed.
There is an imbecile in tho tribe who has
lacked either vanity or brains to pluck his,
and after a growth of forty years it is but a
sparse stubble of still black hair.
But bere is a marvel to me and troubles
our theory of heredity. The children of this
tribe, among whose ancesters no song was
ever sur.g, are easily taught to sing. The little
i-ls in the agency or mission schools sing the
Gosp. 1 hymns as sweetly ami correctly as the
Sunday school children of the south. As their
clear, sweet voices ring out on the twilight
air in the familiar melodies of '"Sweet By
and By," or "What 3Iust It 3 Theref the
writer easily imagines himself 2,t)0 miles
away, listening to children among whom are
blue eyed and golden haired fairies, instead
of these little Absaraea maidens, with coal
black eyes and hair of jet. Crow Agency
