A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.-

I. THE BAD LANDS."

The Unquestionable Existence of the "Great Amen eon. Desert"—Ctrr^m scribing Western Progress, W -*[From the New York Tribune.}

It is not an agrtwible piece of in for mation, thh which ien. Hazon forces upon us so persistently, and with an array of evidence too strong to bo questioned. lio insist* that "the region of country between the 100th meridian and the Sierra Nevada Mountains, all the way from Mexico to the British Possessions is practically valueless 'for asricul tural purposes and having made this startling statement he goes on to prove it, for he returns to the charge again and again, with fresh ro-enforcements of •witnesses. It hurte our national egotism to be told that Uncle Sam is no longer "rich enough to give us all a farm." We have oeen in .e habit of looking with satisfaction upon the wide blank spaces the map or the United .States and varying them into future States, rich and populous like Wisconsin or Missouri, dotted with towns and cities and covered with a network of railways. Not for a couturv to come, it was thought, would the political economist have other advice to industrious young men seeking a broad Held for their energies than to Go West, and the proffer of free homesteads would, it was confidently believed, long serve to attract tour shores tbo stream of Europe in im:nigratic n. Now we are called upon to reconstruct our ideal future map, and to leave the vast area between the preseut picket lino of advancing settlement and the slopes of the Sierras —a rogion about equal in extent to that between the Mississippi Kiver and the Atlantic, pretty much as it now exists. Theiewill be, (ien. Ilazen tells us, a few inoro mining camps in the gorges of the mountains, a few more pastoral colonies along the river valleys, and here and there an agricultural settlement in localities, where water can bo had for irrigation, but that will bo all. The Man-vaise-i Tcrrrn of the early French voyageurs. which they '.iced in what is now Dakota, extend, it would appear, over fully one-third of our whoxc national domain.

The fact which Gen Ilazen again puts before tlfo public has long been known, to army officers, miners, explorers, and others who have traversed the heart of the continent, and was probably nfuch better understood by the country at large fifteen or twenty years ago "tha« now. Then the overland journey to California was an affair ot weeks or months, and travelers who made it got correct and las ing impressions of the region they traversed. Now, people are whirled through from Omaha to San Francisco in 1'ullman cars, and about all they recollect of the journey is that thoy ato antelope meat at some of the station", saw a few prairie dogs and perhaps a nfFalo, and stopped a day or two at Salt Lake to get a look at the Mormons. This new evidence of the almost complete sterility of the region west of the 100th meridian is thereibro a disagreeable surprise to most people. No single fact bearing upon the future of tho Republic is of more importance. It will change radically tho nature of our niHterial growth, louso a figure from botany, the country will soon cease to develop hko tho oxogens, by external layers of new structure, and must, like theendogens, till out from within. The loose and spongy fabric of our Western civilization cannot bo extended for a thousand or fifteen hundred miles further toward tho Pacific. It has almost reached its limit. Ts this to be regretted*? Possibly, looking to the far future, it is, but for the next century or two the wide wastes of arid plains and sagebrush desert that hedgo us in may prove a blessing In disguise. There will come, of necesHity, a more so'hl, homogeneous growth of population within the present limits of settlement, and this will bring the conditions for a larger measure of onmfcrt and real prosperity, and a higher phase ot intellectual life. A sparse population never attained a superior degree of culture. Art. invention, literature, education, all flourish b?st whero there is a friction of raind against mind.

No one need fear that there will not be room enough for tho generotions which are to come after us. Tho Eastern and Middle Slates can support a much larger population than they now have, and in the oldest of the Southern States there are hundreds of thousands of acres of tillable land growing nothing but dwarf plnea and brambles. Tho great Appalachian region, stretching from tho Catskill* to Western Alabama, is still a wilderness. When its lateral valleys are cultivated like those of tho Swiss Alps it will sustain three or four millions of people. West of the Alleghenies the opportunities for growth are almost unlimited. Take, tor example, tho State of Iowa, with 70,tKX square miles of surface—good tanning laud the wholoof it —and a population of only a littlo over a million. France, with less than four times as much territory, supports 30,000.(100 of people, Tho fat prairies of Illinois, already iiiirontHi with 7,000miles of railway, wal m.o maintain in eomfort

•^Tho fashionable pwplo of Atlanta,f»*., are soon to give a very novel leap ywtr partv. Tho party Is to be entirely composed of the young people of toe best seciety—mi led folks to be excluded except- as

are to bo in masque and owtunie and remain so until midnight. Kach young ladv, upon arrival, deposits in a box a sealed proposal of marriage singing It with the name of the character she represents. The Young gentlemen draw those from the box, and each one mu*t find out the Mr lady repr#entiiHt the character signed to hit proposal, conduct her before a burly Centennial magistrate, who will perform a quaint, olden time quasi ceremony. From that time until midnight the couple are to be companions and cqfoj themselves as one. But at midnight a pompous Chicago judge, with a sheriff and two attor* neys, enter and open a divorce court. The parties are severally called up in couples, toll horrlMe things of eaefc other, are aoloowlj divorced, and masked by the sheriff. This will be the richest p-irt of the fun. When all the couples are divorced sopper is announced, and after that the party continues In -I the ospal way.

To know how to wait Is the great secret yf suecesa.—f DeMaistre.

JAPANESE CUSTOMS.

The stranger in Japan, making hast observations, in the course of his trave upon the novel and surprising customs of a most peculiar people, might easily Infer that a low condition of morality existed among them. The working classes, when busy at their labors, dis pense with,all superfluous apparel, and in a hull nude state, are seen in the fields, thoroughfares, and puhiic places, without reproof or remark. In summer the mats and screens that interoept the air are put aside in the houses, and the interior is freely open to the view of the outside world. The passer-by may inspect without reserve the movements of family life thore frankly exposed. With entire indifference to" tbe curious eye that may regard them, the women go through the round of their various domestic duties in ftill sight of the public and uncovered to tho waist. They do not hesitate even to perform their ablutions and the operations of the toilet in tho presence, as it were, of the outer world. The men of the household who aro resting from their toil, within doors as we should say, may also be seen reclining at their ease in tho same condition of undress.

Yet this habit of careless nudity and of unconscious publicity does not pro oeed from lax morality. The humaH flguro stripped ,of clothing suggests to tha Japanese no more idea of modesty than does the undressed animal. Mr. Mitford relatost in his Tales of Old Japan, that, when informed that Ku ropeans considered it indecent for men and women to wash together, a Japa nese gentleman observed, In reply "But these westerns have such prurient minds." "Ho might havo added also remarks Mr. Jarves, in repeating the anecdote, "that when they were masked then and women were allowed In our balls mingle freely together, scarcely more clad as regards the latter sex than when at their toilets, and certainly with greater libidinous provocation.* It is said that, when Japan was first open to European intercourse, the beautiful wife of a foreign official being present at some festival, a Japaneso gentleman of high rank approached her, and, in a spirit of pure admiration, remarked,

How handsome you are! I should like to see you naked!" But the startling words were addressed to the lady as they would have been spoken of a marble statue.

The costume of Japa&eso woman of wealth and rank is more chaste than that of their more civilized sisters. It reveals nothiHg of the form but, being narrow, and of heavy material, falls, with no clinging or swaying folds, straight from tbe shoulders. When in full dress, the ladies are wrapped in thick envelopes of stiflf, rich stuffs, that muffle the whole figure, and effectually conceal its contours. This eumbrons and fettering costume constrains the movements, and renders tho gait awkward, obliterating the charm that comes om a free and graceful play of the imbs.

By those who have hud a familiar acuamtance with the Japaneso, it is delared that their women aro eminently chaste and decorous, notwithstandiug the strangeness of some of their notions of propriety. But more convincing than assertion regarding this matter are the official statistics, 'which give in exact figures the relation which woman holds tocrimoin Japan. The authorized report of 1K7- states that, at that date, j,f34 persons were confined in prison, rhis is an average of only one in 5,500 of tho entire population. Furthermore, of this number only 505 were women. "This paucity of criminals in their seat," says Mr. Jarves, "cannot be owing to the social restrictions which shield them from the usual temptations of men for they not only figure numerously in the ranks of the Buddhist and Shinto sects in various sacred offices, there being nearly 300,000 of them thus emploj'ed, but, "out of tho millions engaged in farming, almost one half are women, and, in trade, 480,409 are enrolled as against Sl«.t,7f2 men all which shows that women can compete with men in various avocations. Evidently Japan has advanced habits, if without abstract theories of women's rights, whilst managing to live with fewer malo criminals than we do, and almost no female conicta."

FROZEN TO DEATH.

An Old Story Retold in an Entertaining

Mftnncr.

fNVw York Letter. »i

THK MtPNKfHT III OK OX A WINTER'S MOIIT. Thev used to have tough winters in New York. That delightful dead editor, I^ewis »aj'lord ("lark, told in his department of'the old time Knickerbocker Magazine, a touching story of the cold winter nights of .'« years gone. He got into a stage one night at his office, way down town, and was forsome blocks the solo occupant of tho draughty, creaking vehicle. Then it stopped anil to«k in a pompons old fellow, swathed in furs and warm wools. Tho fare in those days was six cents, and the new comer poked a five dollar bill up at tho driver, who dumbly shouted back that he could not make the change, his fingers were so cold, and so the pompous man curled up iu his comfortable clothes and the editor sat-and thought what a mean small soul that man had in him. They rode on and on finally, with a great deal of smokey hreatb, the driver's thick voice came through tho hole:

Haven't ye got no change at all V' and the rich roan looked insulted and shouted No, I tell yon there's that bill," and again he oflerod it.

Hut the driver faoed round, saying: I'm too cold to make change.' And the stage drove on, tbe rich man dozing and Mr. Clark thinking him all over, and making up liis mind that he had the roundest shouldered, narrowest chested soul that was ever made, inside him.

On, on they rode till tbe stage was iy up t^wn—tip aa far a* Bleecker street, which was up town then. Here the ri*h man got up to leave, and, to Clark's great indignation, handed up that $.* bill again but to Clark's utter ama*»ment aud abashment also mid: "Hand ?n six cents to the company and put the rest in your pocket it's a cold nigbt, that'll help warm ve. bounocd out and Clark felt Mr. II E. Morse tusging at his heart-atringa. lie wanitMl*tb rutk after, shake hands and ask that inaa'a pardon, but the resolve, like most good ones, came too late.

And then the editor fell to moralising, perhaps to sleep. Anyway, tbe first thing he know, he'd been t*rried away paat his street, and tbe omnibus had swung round tha stable yard. Two or three gruff men with lanterns surroundek them and were milling at the driver's legs, with "Hi, Itill Wake op old man!"

Mr. Clarke tumbled out, and fndlog something wia wrong, lingered a moment—to see, to Ma horror, the miserable driver lift«d from his aeat a corpse frozen to death on tbe perch: bis lines still lying In tbe stiff fingers, tbe gla»y eyeft open, as if in death the poor a river meant to look out for his bono.

cident of tha |5 bill and went with the dead into the offioe. There tucked inside the man's ragged mitten was the money, and very willingly the man iu charge acknowledged his right to it.

But the worst part of the night's work remains: Bill had a wife, ana some the men told how the poor, devoted creature these oold nights had a nice warm supper aud a rousing fire in waiting for "her man who drove the last Atage up." And Mr. Clark volunteered to precede the sad sight whioh was to blind those foithfol, watching eyes with bitter tears and break the news gently to the poor widow.

Then he describes the far ur room In the miserable house on Tenth avenue, where the light of the little window streamed out far into the night a beacon to the honest heart coming home to her the cheery face at tbe opening door that at a stra supper smoking on the stove tbe little table

set for two the numberless evidences of the woman's thrift and love, and then alas, the dreadful story.

It is nearly fifteen years sinco I read that story in an old Knickerbocker Mag azine. But as some little scene or event is never forgotten, while greater ones fade out of memory, so noverof a cold winter's night do I look at tho muflled flguro on a stage lox, but it brings to mind the midnight ride of Gaylord Clarke, with death aloft as driver."
