him for his actual losses in her service; under
these feelings and with these hopes your memo-
rialists present this memorial. Many of our

horses, which estrayed from them, died or were
stolen while in the service. Forthese horses,

they can receive no pay. In many instances
they have expended their all in the purchase of
horse to serve their country. Should they
receive no pay for their horses thus lost, they
will be impoverished by serving their country
IN the hour OF danger. Your memoraists there
fore, pray that an act may be passed remunera>
ting the volunteers, who during either efthe cam
paigns Of 1881 and 1892, lost horses, whether
that loss was occasioned by death from the SER
vice, by edrayment, or by being stolen while
In the servite, without the connivance of their
owners.
And by all means, your memorialists
also pray that Congress may pass an act
during the present session, providing for the
relief of the unfortunate widows and children
ofthose who fell in battle, protecting them from
penury and wretchedness, which have been too
frequently the fate of the soldiers widow and
orphan: And also, to provide Tor those who
have become disabled from wounds received in
battle l.r-taes,
And another act providing indemnity to all
those persons whether, engaged in the service,
or not, whose property of any description was
stolen or destroyed in the years 1881 and
1882, by the hostile bands of the Sac and Fox
tribes of Indians.
Your memorialists relving on the justice and
reasonableness of their request, earnestly hope
this application for the indemnity and relief
sought is not made in vain.

The Jacksonville Patriot of the 22d, inst,
gives reported speech of Mr.. MCCONNELL,
OF Morgan, purportng TO be in answer to re-
marks made by MIR. EDWARDS, of Madison, on a
resolution praying Congress for appropriations
to improve the navigation Of the Illinois river,
and other smaller streams In this speech the
gentleman from Madison is represented as be-
ing hostile to any appropriations for the His
nois 10 justice to that gentleman, we feel
bound to say that no such inference is authori-
zed by the views which he presented. We
understood him to object to an application to
Congress in behalf of those small streams
which were of an acknowledged local charac-
ter, on the ground that it would be useless
consumption of time, and that much iruitles>
and expensive legislation would be incurred.
as it had been the established policy of the Gen
eral Government to refuse appropriations to
objects which were clearly not national We
did not even understand the gentleman from,
Madison as contending that the administration
we're right IN Withholding appropriations far
local improvements, or that he would not be as
willing as any othermember to obtain every
practicable donation for the interests of his
state
But so far as relates to the Illinois river. thu
recorded vote of MI. Edwards shows directly
the reverse of what is aliedged in the speech
of the gentleman from Morgan. His vote
indicates the belief that such appropriation
would be free fromall the objections of the gen,
eral government, and that, Of course, it was d
national enterprise demanding national aid
We presume Mr.. Mcconnell must have mist;

emblem, and the Tree of Liberty was
planted at Paris and other towns of

they entered foreign country, always

dopted the Oak as her Emblem. The

The MANDANs.-Some fifteen hun

neighbors below them, have some very
peculiar religious notions.-Mr. Cat

their religious ceremonies, customs
and traditions. of the latter he has
given one specimen which contains
more Of the wonderful than any OF the
visions of s'the seer Jos. Smith," and

were the first people in the world, and
they originally lived inside the earth.

one Of their corn fields to a very great
height through hole in the earth. and
one of their young men climbed up it
until he came out on the top Of the
earth where the Mandan Village now
stands; that he looked around and ad-
mired the beautiful prairies and coun-
try about him-saw many bufaloes-
killed one and found it good to eat
that he returned and related what he
had seen, when a number of them went
and witnessed the same things. A.
mongst the throng who was endeavor-
ing to climb up was a very large fat

but whose curiosity led her to attempt
it, Notwithstanding, as soon as she had
got an opportunity. When she had
got part Of the way up, the vine broke
under her weight and let her down.
She was disgraced for being the cause
Of a great calamity which could never
