The Telegraph" only eighteen days from

We have just received letter from Bcyar, con-
veying the intelligence that small party OF the
citizens of that place had racenty returned from
an expedition into the Cominanche country.
They however had seen only one small party of
Indians, who fed, after triiling skrmish. No
hostile Indians have been near Bexnr for sew
eral weeks, and the utmost tranquility prevails in
that section. Col. karnes had recently arrived
in Bexar with All escort from the coast, having in
charge large quantity of merchandise. rob-
berry was committed about three weeks since be-
tween the Clto and Goliad, on the road from the
latter place to Bexar. Several carts belonging 10

The robbers are not known.

A HUMAN SACRIFICE IN AMERlCA!!

We need not 60 TO India TO witness human sac
rihces. The following accountof the burning ol
a ltue Sioux Girl as a sacrifice by the Pawnees,
last April, is from the letter of correspondent OF
the Chicago Democrat, dated Council Bluffs, De-
lober Is, 1898. II exceeds, we think, in alroci-
ty, any thing which has come To us from the East:
The Sioux and Pawnees. one l6J miles from
here, are in constant hostility. This war has con-
tinued for about 200 years: so The Indians here
The Potlawatomies) say. 'fhe Pawnees, in war
expedition into the Sioux country last February,
took prisoner Sieux girl only IA years old,
whom them kept about two months, until corn
planting, anl fa,tcncd her as they wculd hog.
They then determined to make sacrifice Of her.
This they kept 10 themselves. Two days before
the sacrifice, council of eighty of the warriors
and head men of the nation met 10 see whether
they would accept the offers Of two traders Of the
American Fur Company, who offered them valua-
bic presents il they would release her 10 them, SO
that they might let her return home. But all
would not do A majority of the council was for
i sacrifice, of course those in favor Of her release
could do nothing. At the breaking up of the
council, the prisoner was brought out and accom-
panied by the whole council, was led from house
to house; when they gave her small billet OF
wood and a little paint, which she handed TO the
warrior next her, and s. pnssed the nexi
nntil every wgwam had contributed some wood
aud paint On the 22l Of April, she was led ont
10 be sacrificed, but moi until she came upon the
ground did she conjecture her fate. They had
chosen the place within two trees which grew
within five feet Of each other. They then made
her ascend the three bars tied across from tree tn
tree, her feet resting on The bars beloa where a
slow FIRE kindled beneath would just reach he5
feet. Two warriors then mounted the bars, and
there, standing one on each side of her, held fire
under her arm pits until she was almost dead.
Then at syen signal they all shot arrows into
her body so thick that hardly pin could be pla-
lced between them. The arrows were immediate
~ taken from her flesh. and il was all cut off frons
her bones in pieces not larger than half dollar.
and put in baskets. All this done before she.
was quite dead. Then the principal chief took a
piece Of the flesh and squeezed il until drop o'
blood Iel upon the corn that was just planted, ant,
this was done to all they had in the ground.
This is the way they rea, prisoners Of war on
here. The foregoing was told me by trader o
mdspntahe yeracity, who on the ground

brother was taken prisoner by the Sioux ant,
treated in the same manner. h.. .ts .4a

The following article is from the Boston Daily
Advertiser Should not measures be taken by

have doubt application to that effect would

"VAccINE MATTER.-We have recently learn
ed some interesting facts relating to vaccination
Mr.. E>t'in, distinguished Surgeon Of Bristol,
England, has succeeded in obtaining new supply
Of vaccine matter directly from the COW. In
the early part Of August last, he learned that the
disease existed in COWS farm iii Glou-
cestershire, and repairing Immediately to the
place, found it in proper state for furnishing
matter for incubation in Young woman who had
taken it in milking. With this matter he inocu-
lated child on the llth If August, and obtained
perfect case of kline pock disease. The success
sion has been carefully preserved; and the mat
ter has been freely distributed 10y Mr. Estin to
different parts of the world. Some was sent to
DR.. Jackson, Of this city, taken from the fenh
succession of cases. Dir. Jackson and Dr. Put
nam have succeeded in introducing the. disease
here with this matter, and have freely communi-
Gated the matter to their professional brethren who
now using it pretty extensively; so that mat
ter of the eleventh and twelfth generation from
the COW, can readily be obtained.
" 1t is an interesting question how far the disease
thus Introduced resembles the kline pock that we
have long had among US; and the answer is most
satisfactory for SO far as can be observed, it is
perfectly the same There has not of course been
time to test the question by practical observations
as to Its greater or less power in preventing small
poS, out IN It's course, and appearance, there is no
appreciate difference This new introduction OF
kine pock matter, though circumstance of great
interest TO the medical profession and to the com
munity, does not weaken, but greatly STRENGTHENS
the confidence which may be placed in genuine
vaccination as it has been practced alnonc US
for forty years past.
we learn that the Massachusetts Med;ca,
Society voted the last year to supply all its Fellows
at the annual meeting in May with fresh kline
pock matter; and, the Fellows Of the Society
agreed to vaccinate gratuitously one day in each
week in the month Of June annually, all who
shall apply to them for that purpose. IF our
whole population are not vaccinaed hereafter. it
will not te the fault Of the Medical profession D
