A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

TERRE HAUTE, JNNE 14, 1884

OCTOROONS.

RACE WHICH IS NO RACE-THE PECITL1AR POSITION OF ITS WOMEN,

There is in New Orleans a race and distinct race which is no race. It has its one band upon the whites and the other npon the blacks, and it occupies a position betwixt and between, belonging to both and to neither. The whites refuse to acknowledge them, and they bold themselves HO far above the blacks that they will acknowledge no relationship with tbem. Like the. bat, they are neither bird nor animal, bat occupy a position entirely distinct and a very lonesome one it is.

These are the octoroons, which in New Orleans means not only a person whose blood is one-eight negro, but all of that class who are almost white, but in whom negro blood is perceptible. Down there they don't say negro blood—it is negro "taint." They are not white enough for the white, nor black enough for the negro.

Their position, especially that of the women of the raw, is very peculiar. No matter how white an octoroon girl may be, a white man may not marry her. She may be as beautiful as Venus, and accomplished iu every possible way she may sing like Pattl, ana paint like Rosa Bonbeur, but no white man would marry her and remain in New Orleans. It would be oetnlcism for ber, and for him also. She could not be received in society and be would find himself ou the wroag side of the wall at once. The law is fixed, and the barricade is impassable.

The women of this mixed race are wondrously beautiful. Their complexions are dazzlingly white, with a shade of olive underneath the skin that shines through, toning down the white to a shade of brown that is as beautiful, in the matter of color, as beautiful can be tholr teeth are marvels of whiteness and regularity the figures are invariably perfect in their voluptuousness, and the whole woman is as near physical perfection as anything ever permitted to the temptation of men. St. Anthony would have stood but a poor chance bad he undergone hii temptation in New Orleans, and had the arch enemy employed octoroon women to work his fall. There is nothing in womanhood mere delightful.

The men among them are in various employments, ana many of them have achieved success. They nave had ad van tages above their half-brothers who are darker in color lot they are all, necessarily, the sons of white men, many of whom have, for their mothers' sake, been liberal to them in the matter of education and means to commence life after the education was completed.

To understand this, the status of the octoroon weman must be understood. She cannot marry a white man, neither can a white man marry her. She cannot assoolate with the race with which sjie is allied, for she has had opportunities far AIMTA

nigger" proper with even more contempt than does the pure white. Her contempt is tinged with bitterness for she cannot help thinking that, were she without that one drop of negro blood, her beauty would give her any place among women she might desire.

Hut, while the white man cannot marry her, there is no law—human at least—that prevents his living with her. As the poor girl cannot marry a white man, and will not marry a negro, she does wbat seem to her the next best things she can do she accepts the "protection" of a white lover and lives with him. The next thing is for a white lover to buy a bouse and furnish it

orgeoutly and make it really his home, not take her to the theatre or balls of his own class, nor is he ever seen with her on the street but her house is really his home.

She bears him children, and those children he eduoates and provides for, in many instances, better than his own offspring but he may not recognize them. The black blood in them bars that.

When he Ur tired of his illegal flame it is the simplest thing in the world. The house and its furnishings are here, and whatever money he baa given her becomes hers in hor own right and the middle aged woman who nas lost her beautv accepts the situation, lets the furnished rooms to single gentlemen, and lives in comfort alt her life on the proceeds. It was for this that she entered into the arrangement to begin with, and its ending satisfies ber. She accumulates money, her children, who would

goutb,go

as* for wfilte anywhere except in the elsewhere where their talent bus scope and become actual men and the daughters may emigrate also, or they may stay iu New Orleans and go through the same experience that tbeir mother did before them.

SOME CHURCH CHARACTERS.

BURDETTE POINTS OCT WHO AND WHAT THEY ARE.

"This," said tbe returned missionary to the poor heathen whom he had brought over, 'is a cbnrch."

And tbe poor beatben greatly admired the churtb. By and by he asked: "Who is the fat man witft the big watch seal, who looks at the church as tnough be thought some of putting on a |50 bay window and raising tbe rent 4500 a vear ••That is a trustee," said the returned missionary. "He does most of the praying, I suppose?" said tbe poor beatben, who in his blindness, knows very little about the way we do these things. "No," said the returniug missionary, "be doesn't believe in praying he is a Bob Ingersoll man and believes that nobody doesn't know nothing, and that they know that he knows that they know he knows they don't. He is not a member of tbe church, but he is a good, clear-headed business man, good manager, strong on real estate deals and so he is a trustee. Doesn't take much of a Christian to be a trustee, except in the country. In town a church only

wants a

good business man for trustee." "And who Is the man who stands in the door and glares at the people as they pass in, and tries to keep them out?'* asked tbe poor heathen. "That is tbe sexton," replied the missionary. "'He doesn't believe in opening the church for religious services at all. He says tbe church was built to have swell weddings in, and that for preaching and prayer meetings and other side shows of that nature the trustees should hire a hall." "Who is tbe very yeung man who pushes people out of the way that be may have room to pass in, and stoops very low as he enters the twenty foot door and sits directly under the steeple lest he should strike bis bead when he stands up?" "That," said tbe returned missionary, is tbe new Buperlentendent of the Sunday school. They are all that way at first. By and by, when he has forgotten every line of bis beautiful speech, when there are distinguished strangers present, when he has started tbe wrong tune to an entirely strange hymn, and corrected himself by striking tbe right tune on a key so high that the "Chimes of Normandy" couldn't ring second bass to it when be was flunked, fair, square and outright, on the other ten questions in his question box, be will know less by a ton than he does now, and be a good, useful, earnest and humble superntendent. He's only young and new, like tbe August persimmon/' "Here comes theownerof the church," the poor heathen said. "He lcoks as though he had decided to make pem mican of tbe sexton and and trustee, and not hold any service to-day." "No, that is not exactly the owner of the church," the returned missionary said "that is the leader of the choir." "Who is that meek, timid little man who is trying to creep in without letting tbe sexton see him, and who has taken off bis hat to the leader of the choir "Oh, that is only the pastor of the church," the returned missionary replied. "Will you go inside?"

And the poor heathen said he would, because he rather guessed from .their looks tbe sexton and the leader of the choir had made up their minds to settle that morning which of the two should take the church and run it.

ART OF HAND-8HAKIN&. trmttartouer- n» oun chronicle. I wonder why people shake hands when they meet? It seems all right when you do it, but when you watch other people do it, It seems almost ridiculous. I saw a young lady just now shake hands with a young man. She ave him tbe flippant member in a perfectly limp way. He squeezed it and sho"k it from the shoulder dbwn, without its giving any evidence of feeling, Then she letTt flop by her side. Now it isn't fair. If you are going to shake bands, shake. It is almost a certain sign that a girl is American if she puts her band in yours quite impassive and leaves it there till you have done with it. A man naturally squeezes it. His first grasp does not fully calculate its limpness.and he thinks she might be offended. Ho gives it another gentler pressure He feels the rings siuk into the fingers. He tries a third time to get some repanse. She dees not return the squeeze, Sne does not move it. She does not take it away. She simply does nothing at all. She looks as if she had forgotten he had hold of it. It breaks tbe man all and be drops it in disgust. this manner of band-shaking we are far behind. Men are all right, but a woman never knows the difference be tween a slight pressure and a meaning•esse. When a foreign lady—es

peclany an English lady—shake# hands, she simply presses hard enough to be recognized. If she is very glad to see you, she gives you a perfectly frank and honest squeeze, whieu you cannot help returning. Then she quietly withdraws her hand. An American girl, who is so free and open in other ways, will take offense at a harmless hand-shake, which simply expresses pleasure at meeting. I know a great many men and women who are not fluent of speech or rich in expression, who can put a whole volume of meaning in tbe shaking of the hand.

CHILDREN'S CHATTER.

A north side mother is making a move to have a fire bell tap every morning between six and seven o'clock. She says that when she callee her -fourteen-year-old boy it takes him moire than half an hour to dress, but when he hears afire bell tap, he's out of bed and dressed iu about thifee minutes.

The collection was being lifted in a church of a neighboring village of this county. A child who was drowsy was suddenly aroused by the basket poked under ber nose by a collector. Looking up with a countenance full of innocence and regret, the little one said, "Please, air, I hasn't got anything." The spirit was willing, but the pocket was empty.

NEED OF ECU2VQMY,

One of the hardest lessons in life for young people to learn is practical economy. It is a harder duty for a young man to accumulate and save his first $1,000 than his next $10,000. A man can be economical without being mean, and it is one of bis most solemn duties to lay up sufficient in bis days of strength and prosperity to provide for himself and those who are or may be dependent upon him in days of sickness and misfortune. Extravagance is one of the greatest evils of the present age. It is undermining and overturning the loftiest and best principles that ahould be retained and held sacred in society. It is annually sending thousands of young men and young women to ruin and misfortune.

Cultivate, then, sober and industrious habits acquire tbe art of putting a little aside every day and for your future necessities: avoid all unnecessary and foolish expenditures. Spend your time only in such a manner as snail bring you profit and enjoyment, and your money for such things as you actually need for your comfort and happiness, and you will prosper in your lives, your business, and will win and retain the respect and honor of all worthy and substantial people.

WEATHER PREDICTIONS. "Did you never read Dr. Darwin's poetical description qf tbe signs of rain?" "Never heard of it." "Well, it's often quoted, and is remarkably correct. Here it is: •The hollow winds begin to blow:

The clouds look blacir, the

The soot falls down, the spaniels sleep, And spidere from their cobwebs creep The walls are damp, the ditches smell Cios'd in the light-red pimpernel. Hark! how the chains and tables crack Old Betty's Joints are on the rack, Ber corns with soothing pains torment her And to ber bed untimely send her. Loud quack the ducks, the sea fowls cry, The distant hills are looking nigh. How restless are the snorting swine Tbe busy flies disturb tbe kine. Low o'er tbe grass the swallow wings: The cricket, too, how sharp he sings. Puss on the hearth, with velvet paws Hits wiping o'er her whisker'd jaws. Twill surely come, we seet with sorrow. No working in the fields to-morrow.'

HER SECRET TROUBLES.

TTTR UNKNOWN TRIALS WHICH A WOMAN ENDURED WITHOUT COMPLAINT—WHY THEY

VANISHED.

Near the close of one of the most trying of the few hot days, the present year a pale, care-worn woman might have been seen at the window of her dwelling apparently in a condition of complete exhaustion. Her efforts to meet the accumulated duties of her household had been great but unsuccessful, while the care of a sick child, whose wails could even then be heard, was added to her otherwise overwhelming troubles. Nature bad done much for her and in her youthful days she had been not only b«*utiful but the possessor of health such as is seldom seen. But home and family duties and the depressing cares which too often accompany them had proven greater than her splendid strength and she felt at that death would be a grand relief. This is no unusual experience. It is, iu fact, a mest common everyday occurrence, and a great prayer is constantly ascending from thousands of homes for deliverance from the deadly power which is enslaving so many wives, mothers and daughters. And yet tfceae duties of life mu-t be met. No woman can afford to turn aside from the proper care of her home and tbe ones who are committed to her care, although in doing these Bhe may sacrifice her health, and possibly life itself. The experience of one who successfully overcame such trials and yet retained health and all the blessings it brings is thus told by Rev. William Watson, Presiding Elder of the Methodist Episcopal church, residing at

Waterton, N. Y. He said: "My wife became completely run down through overwork ana care of a sick member of our household, and I entertained serious apprehensions as to her future. She was languid, pale, utterly exhausted, without appetite, and in a complete state of pbysioal decline. And yet she did not, could not neglect her duties. I have seen ber about the bouse trying courageously to care for the ones she loved when I could tell, from the lines upon her face how much she was suffering. At times she would rally for a day or two and then fall back into tbe state of nervous exhaustion she felt before. Her head yained her frequently, her body was becoming bowed uy pain and all nope or enjoyment in life seemed departed. What to do we could not tell. I resalvcd, however, to bring back her life and vitality if possible and to this end began to treat her myself. To my great relief her system nas been toned up, her strength restored, her health completely recovered and wholly by the use of Warner's Tippecanoe, which I regard as the greatest tonic, invigorator and stomach remedy that has ever been discovered. I was led to use it the more readily as I had tested the health-restoring properties of Warner's Safe Cure in my own person and I therefore knew that any remedy Mr. Warner might produpe would be a valuable one. I have since recommended both Warner's Tippecanoe and Warner's Safe Cure to many of my friends and I know several Doctors of Divinity as well as numerous laymen who are using both with great benefit."

If all the overworked and duty driven women of America could know of the experience above described, and act upon the same, there can be little doubt that much of the pain, and most Of tbe

depressing Influences

of life

might be avoided. Such truths are too valuable to remain unknown.
