INDIAN TERRiroRY. We like the plan
proposed in a bill which has recently passed
the Senate Of the United States. 1t gives
an end and finish to the policy Of our
government toward The Tndian tribes.
Without it the removal of the Indians
seems only temporary expedient, 20 get
rid of them for the moment, wherever
they are troublesome to the dominion #
the Whites. But tho establishment of a
territorial form Of government, in a well
defined territory, sacred to the Icdians
alone, for which this bill provides will
conducc to their security and happiness,
whlo 1t institutes one of the most n,eres,
ting experiments of which the mind can
conceive. 1t is proposed by the bill, if we
understand it, to make the Indians members
of their own territorial council, and to I'll
with Indians all the Offices, cxcept perhaps
that OF governor of the Territory for
few years. lie, with some other officers
will be appointed by the general govern.
mcnt. The experiment, by developing the
ambition Of Indians, and placing them
where they are no: continually unmindcd
Of the superiority Of their white conquer
ors, will elevate their character, and hu

the Hon. Jonathan Cilley, of Maine, with rifles.
At the third fire Mr.. Cilley fell, pierced through
the body by the ball Of his antagonist.
The death of Mr.. Cilley enkindled most me-
lancholy degree of excitement among all classes

HORRIBLE AFFAIR.-On Thursday afternoon
in Blockley township, above the city on the other
side of the Schhykil river, nearly opposite to the
Falls Bridge, man named Christopher Master.
ton, native of England, living in one of long
row of small stone houses, occupied chiefly by
Irish people, made an attempt while partially de-
ranged from liquor to murder his wife for some
trhng cause. In the struggle ne cut her llp, IN.
ficted long cash on her side and thigh, and
wounded her very badly in the neck and throat;
nothing saved her life, as the physician declared
upon examination, but the extraordinary dulness
of the small penknife, which was the weapon used.
After the lapse of short time, when reflection
had brought with it remorse, the man, not yet
perfectly sane, before he could be prevented,
swallowed, in glass of water, quantity OF poi
son. The physician, who was in the house dress
ing the wounds of the woman, Immediately gave
him powerful emetic, which caused him to
throw the poison of his stomach, and thus saved
his life. When we saw them, they were both
unable to rise, the man suffering from raging fe-
yer, and the woman stiff from her wounds. The
wife spoke in kind terms of her husband, who al
ways behaved as man ought to his family, ex-
cept when he got on spree, which was but
seldom, and then he became perfectly crazy!-

HE BLIN OY

The day was bright and beautiful
The boys to play had gone
Save one who sat beside the door,
Detected and alone.
And as the tone of merry sport
Came family to his ear,
He sighed, and from his swelling lids
He brushed the falling tear.
His little heart was rent with pain
He could not join the play;
He could not run about the fields,
And by the brook side stray;}
The rolling hoop, the bounding ball,
The kite borne by the wind
The acron hunt were nought to him
For he, alas! was blind!
He could not see the setting sun,
And watch the glowing skies
The beauty of the moon and stars
Fell not upon his eyes.
The rainbow, when it spann'd the clouds
Was lost upon his sight
And waving woods. and sparkling streams,
For all 10 him was night.
These truths came fresh upon his mind
While sitting thus apart,
No wonder that the tear drop fell,
And heavy was his heart.
All! little did the youthful throng,
Whose hearts were full of JOY,
Reflect upon the lonely state
Ofthat poor sightless boy

II III f IRISH.

/ The Philadelphia Ledger has been publishing
a series of articles upon the Irish, wherein the
author has presented picture of human degra-
dation more lamentable than we had ever con-
ceived. We agree generally with the positions
that have met our notice; but there are some to
which we shall append few remarks.
:" We know that the Irish peasantry, on first
landing among us, are intemperate and quarrel
some, but we also know that they generally be-
come peaceful and sober, and manifest strong
desire to improve their condition. We first find
them employed upon the public works, congre-
gated in novels, with the squalid habits engen-
dered in their own country, or we find them in
our cities, crowded together in the dirtest lanes
and most miserable habitatons. But this condi-
ton lasts not beyond the first year. We soon see
them scattered over the country, on good farms
and in comfortable habitatons, decidedly i'm
proved in habits and appearance; or we find
them in the cities, sober and thriving mechanics
or traders. Their children are carefully furnish
ed. with all the advantages of our schools, and
are undstinguishable from our native popula-
|tion.''
We are willing to give all credit due to the
Irish character, but we differ from this state
ment. Let any one seek them in those dirty
lanes and most miserable habitations,' and be-
hold the bestial sin and drunkenness every where
abounding. From these places are our courts Of
justice daily supplied with prisoners, and daily
are the gates Of our prisons and jais unbarred to
receive them. Neither are these criminals con-
fined to those who have lately arrived, but ma
ny who have had the opportunity to become
good and temperate citizens, have remained in
the same criminal condition which they brought
to our shores. We do mot see them scattered
over our country, on good farms;' for, unlike
the Swiss, German and French immigrants, the
Irish confine themselves to our cities and manu-
the productions of our soil.

CONSUMPTION, within the last 33 years, has
carried off in this city 1883 persons. About
one-third Of the deaths by this disease are foreign
ers and colored persons-about one-ninths ma
tiyes. This is from the report Of the City In
spector. Dr. Dunnell, and the only scientific report
which has ever been published from that office
In respect to the desolating ravages of consump-
ton, the extreme and sudden vicissitudes of the
climate, and the proximity of New York to the
sea, account for it. There is another prolific
source of death through this outlet-we mean in
temperance to excess among all that class Of per-
sons to whom consumption proves most fatal.
The total deaths in 1882, including the cholera,
were 9.975.-Neao York Star.
