Temperance among the Sioux.

A temperance movement has quietly and
very efficiently been carried on among the
Sioux Indians by their plain and unpretend-
ing, but most worthy and faithful Agent,
Major Murphy, of ST. Peters. He has
within the past half year, induced many of
the chief men of The tribes, who possess
considerable influence, to sign the temper
ance pledge. Instances are very rare of
the violation OF this pledge by the Sioux
indians when they have once taken it. One
such man as Major Murphy does more real
practical good than all the missionary soci-
cites Of New York and Boston.

For the Pioneer.

SIR-Whle many come into this new
aud beautiful territory, with the intention of
embarking in various kinds of business
there are many who wish to find suitable
locations for agricultural purposes, and the
humble writer Of this is one of that class.
When farmers emigra,e into new coun-
try, it is a duty they owe to themselves to
examine and select the most favorable points
beg to call the attention of such TO the
fine country around Elk and Rum rivers,
as best suited for farmers to settle; the soil
being rich and fertile, water can be found
in abundance, and wood can be obtained
for all practicable use, besides many other
advantages that cannot be found in other
portions OF the territory; taking all advan-
tages into consideration more desirable ia
ciIities for those who wish to engage in the
most honorable Of all pursuits, that of til
ling the soil for livelihood, can hardly be
found in the great northwest. 1t presents
a rare opportunity for enterprise.

per Mississippi snrpasscs the former IN Its
wild beauty, St. Anthony, although as
work of nature inferior to Niagara, yet
excels it in its adaptation to the works OF
art. On the boat in which came up the
Mississippi were visitors from nine different
States of the Union, and all united in ex-
pressions of unbounded admiration of the
country through which we passed, and many
regretted that nature had been so lavish in
her favors TO this particular section, and so
parsimonious TO many others. The trip
from Galena, St. Louis and other cities
along the river is one of unalloyed enjoy
ment. The boats stop at the usual landing
places a sufficient length of time to enable
visitors to wander a short distance into the
country, to climb the hills, and there obtain
view for fifteen or twenty miles, and when
there the soft sound of music strikes upon
the ear from the band on board. What a

POmarede's PanOrama-Another Scene
Completed.


A view of Browns Falls situated some
three miles above Fort Smelling, with the
country thence onward to the i alis OF st.
Anthony. has just been finished.
Browns Fall, without possessing the
sents an exceedingly picturesque appear
ance. The stream leapng over the bluffs;
the huge tlne-Worn rocks that cradle II OH
either side; the overhanging trees; the thick
mist at the base of the cliff, hiding the wa
ters as they descend, and bright sun bring
ing out in bold relief the brow of the bluff
all contribute to render the scene strikingly
romantic. Mr.. Pomarede's dellneaIions in
tins, as i'll his preceding views, are charac-
terlslically correct.
After browns Falls come the prairie
lands, rolling away towards the Falls of St.
Anthony. In the month of July last, this
spot was a scene OF much interest. The
whole plain was covered with lodges of
Winnebagoes, who, having been brought up
from the Wabasha Prairie on steam boats,
stopped here awhile on their way TO their
new homes. The artist represents these
Indians spread in thousands over every part
of the vast prairie. la one scene Is pre-
sented group gathered around their cniet,
Wa-ba- sha, who is in the act OF haranguing
them on the subject Of their journey. La
the foreground are seen the higL conlical-
shaped wigwans. Swarthy Indians, in fam
tastIc costumes, are seated in small parties
upon the ground, or lettering from one
lodge to the other. / he women, with their
papooses slowed securely upon their backs,
aud boys gamboliing carelessly upon the
ground, ignorant and indifferent to the great
change which has occurred in their fortunes,
have not been omitted.
The subject, on the whole, is a fine one,
calculated to draw out the noblest efforts OF
the artist, and, in our judgment, ample JUS
tIce has been done 10 1t. This scene occu-
pies slxty-fye feet of canvass, SO that now
eight hundred CARDS of the great painting
have been completed. The work speeds on
rapidly, aud we suppose that some time in
the beginning Of next July il will be unrolIed
for exhibition. Though hot the first to have
brought out n panoramic view Of the Mis-
slsslppi, the acknowledged ability of MIR. p,
