crimes. They had been accustomed TO stea
or beg their bread about the streets of Rcchei
lie, and honor and gratitude formed no part
of their characters. They finally resolved
to murder La Sale, and all such as should
obstruct their designs, and remain in tho
country amongst the Indians. An opportu-
nifty soon offered. M. de la Sale sent his
nephew, servant, and hunter, in pursuit Of
buffalo. These We're shot by the murderous
party in ambush. There absence rendered
him uneasy, especially as he had discovered
signs of treachery among some of his men,
and he went in search of his companions,
leaving the party with Father Athanasius.
Meeting Lancelot, one of the suspicious men,
he enquired for his nephew, and the wretch
pointed to a spot over which the buzzards'
were lowering. As La Sale advanced he
was shot through the head by Duhault, and
another assassin, who lay concealed in tho
tall grass. and died within an hour.
Thus Perished NJ. de Ia Sale, on the 10th
of March, 1857, the first French explorer Of
the Mississippi to its mouth. He was illus.
trious for his courage, enterprise, persever.
ance and misfortunes. He was one of the
greatest adventures Of the age in which he
lived, and his discoveries were extensive
and of importance to the French nation
He was the first European who established
permanent colonies along the Mississippi,
and opened the way for the settlement Of
Illinois, Missouri, and Louisiana.
The murderers Of La Sale, Joined by 9TH
er malcontents, took possession Of the pro-
visions, ammunition. and every thing belong
ing to the deceased. They soon quarreled
among themselves, and the two assassins
were shot, Father Athanasius. (another priest
and brother of La Salle,) with seven others
found their way to Illinois. and from thence 10
France. Many Of the colonists, left on the
Colorado, persisted with hunger and sickness,
or were cut off BY the Indians. About two
wears after the death of La Sale, the few
survivors were seized by the crews Of some
Spanish vessels. and conducted to New Le-
on. Thus ended the first colony in Texas.
For the period Of ten years after the death
of La Sale, war prevailed between the En-
glish colonies Of New England, and the
French colonies Of New France, under Count
de Frontinac, and no attempt was made to
carry out the ~favorite project of Sale, Of
colonizing the Lower Mississippi. The colo-
MES of Illinois, under the management OF the
chevalier Tonti. received accession, and
missions were established by the Jesuit and
other orders, amongst various Indian tribes.
The Canadian hunters, or coureurs du bois,
made excursions to the Mississippi, missiona-
ries were planted amongst the Indians on
the Illinois, Ohio, and other tributaries of
that river. Before 1899 they had stations
amongst the Tensas, Yozous and Dumas IN
the lower Mississippi.

"These poor and ignorant people, for the
distance Of 9,o0omiles (up the Missouri river)
had never seen or heard Of a steamboat, and
in some places they seemed at a loss what

one twelve-pound cannon and three or four
eight-pound swivels, which we were taking
up to arm the Fur Company's Fort at the
mouth Of the Yellow Stone; and at the
approach of every village they were all dis.
charged several times in rapid succession,
which threw the inhabitants into utter confu.
