sess the right Of excluding the rest of man
kind from all participation in the benefits 10
be derived from an extensive and beautiful
region" Precisely such principle as is
here suggested animated the fanatic follow
ers of Mahomet in their sanguinary pruse-
lytislh. It is based upon the assum ttion
that WE are alone right-thai our convic-
tions are alone worthy of consideration
that the condition Of one quarter Of the
worh is the only true condition, 10 which
the other three quarters must be forced 10
accedc, and that the comPulsion employed
is sanctioned BY justice! In short, q cru
sode Of custom is proposed, as intolersnt as
was ever a crusade of creed The eslab-
lishment Of such p p,inciple would certain
ly convert much that is odiOus and criminal
in English history into the results of a "a.
tional and praisworthy aposlleship. This
attempt 10 wheedle from Christendom its
countenance-to secure the endorsement Of
an infamous policy, is too late. Potent as
is the Times, il eau neither reverse history
nor demolish the rights Of nationality. Up
on the barO and simple question of right 10
national seclusion = however narrow and
inconvenient such scclusion may be regard
cd--so long as the life and property Of other
nations are not jeopardized, the decision
awarded by justice must be affirmative. But
in The instance OF Japan, life and property
are constantly endangered. Further, on
the part Of that empire there has been posi-
tive aggression. For us the question Is re-
solved not alone into one Of security, but Of
indemnity. American navigation not only
demands the protection Which can alone
result from a more intimate knowledge of
these islands but ouirages inflicted upon
American citizens invoke redress. The
gainful pecuniary results of vigorous action
by the United States will be purely Incl
dental. ...a

Battle with the Indians East Of Yyreka

ANNtAAO. WAAAA tAlO AAAuAdlAo LncA VI AyIckd
Two WHITES WoUSrED lin .RTY OKE
INDIANS KILLED !-RETURN OF CArTAlN
WRlGHT AND PARTY TO YRKL
m. H'yreta, Nor. 2lst, 1889.
For the past two days our town has been
in quite an excited slale.l On Monday morn
ing last, three persons arrived from Captain
Benz. Wright's camp, with information that
a 6ght had taksn place on Monday morning
previous with the Indians, and ilat thirty
ont Indians, had been killed and two o. our
citizens wounded, and wanted medical aid.
One Of the physicians Of our town started
Immediately to meet them, accompanied BY
Messrs, d. D. Cotton and - Helm,
one Of Ihc messengers. After riding two
days and nights, 10 within fifteen miles Of
the scene Of conflict, without meeting them,
they returned to town and reported that
they were fearful that Capt. Wright and his
party had been surprised A meeting was
called, and a party Of twenty was raised 10
60 10 the rescue. Messengers were dispatch
ed to SCOTS Valley, to Major Fitzgerald,
who, with the promptitnde characteristic Of
true soldier, ordered up detachment Of
forty-two men, under the cammand Of Lieut..
easily. Lieut.. G. with his command,
reached town last evening, just as the party
started from here. Fortunately our fears
were unfounded The delay 10 Captain
Wright and his party was caused BY the
inability Of the wounded to travel. The
party proceeded as far as Sheep Rock,
where they found Captain w. encamped, on
his way in. This afternoon the party
reached town, and paraded through the
streets--lhe wounded being borne in Iitters
each Of the party, consisting of sixteen
whites, two Indians and negro, having a
bow and quiver Of arrows, and the muzzle
Of his gun decorated with scalp taken from
the enemy. As soon after as the wounded
were comfortably housed and rested, their
wounds were attended 10 by Drs. Gatlih
and lronsidc. They are now comfortable,
and with care they may be out amongst
their fellow ,citizenS in a few weeks. Too
much praise cannot be bestowed upon Capt.
Wright and his party for the manner in
which they have acquitted themselves
They have been out since August last, Suf-
fe, ing every priyaliop, 10 protect the travel
worn emlgrarl from the mtrciless savage,
and closed the campaign BY revenging the
drvih Of our citizens with terrible reIribu'
Ton. 1A.
The whole town seems TO be wild with
joy. Every house is free 10 the brave party
and | sincerely trus, that our citizens and
our legislature will give 10 them some more
substantial rccomprnse Than thanks and
praise, for they have by their bravery,
taught tho redskins that they cannot rob
aud plundrr the white man with impunity.

Kentucky in the OIden Time.

A correspondent in The New Orleans
Delta relates the following anecdote, OH the
authority Of one of Kentucky's most ac-
complished and travelled daughters, the wife
u a late Ex-Governor: -....-.
In the early settlement OF that territory,
her present aged, queenly maIrons, were
without many Of those things now esteemed
by their sex 50 Indispensable, and amongst
them the looking glass, which had never
made its appearance across the mountains.
In lis stead, the eye and hands OF com
panion, or the smooth, reflective surface of
the brook, were made 10 subservo tho pur-
pose of the toilet and wooden trough, or
hollow slump, filled with water, moi unfre7
quenhy daguerroiyped the flowing curls
and lallowed heads Of the backwood beauties.
But il happened, on a time, that ibrre
came along on The Indian trails, a Yankee
pedlar, who, amongst his precious stock OF
goods, which he was exchanging for furs
and skins, had small looking gloss, sueh az
fits the top Of an old fashion round shaving
box. As soon as seen BY them, alf bid for
the desirable thing, bnt, with native shrewd-
ness, under the preteRce that he could NOT
spare 1.-THE refused all offers, intending in
the end, 10 accept the highest. -. ..t
Al last, however, ready to pack and
have, he cSiied upon the best bidder, and
received bis Offer The purchaser was a
young bean, who at once presented il TO a
family OF beautiful sisters, The rival bellies
Of the country. It was near the time for a
large ball, to Which they were invited, and
where they proudly appeared, with pieces
Of the looking-glass framed in lead, suspect
ded by yellow bark strings from their beau
tiful brown nceRs. They were at once tlle
observed Of all-tht main attraction Of the
evening much TO- the slight Of Others
equally J handsome, and guile as respectable,
who were, after that night, with bitterness
and wounded Ftide heard to approach theif
late attending beapS with" Yrt, oh yes,
you couldn't see'us this evening: We're too
common. You' chose first to dance up 10
the giils with the looking glasses. |" "And," /"
said the lady narrator, What night wete
first sowed seeds Of envy aid Hatred that
show themselves to this day between nlany
Of the lbading families Of old Kentucky
and aE because of The looking glasses"

10 Poverty is mol always an evil. It is
often the slayer of cnmity Between man and
man. II deprives malice of its venom il
shuts the mouth of scandal, and gives the
death blow 10 delraciion. Envy and jeNl-
ousy alike Hy before its face, whilst the
heart Of the sufferer is sofened, and he is
taught the useful lesson that there is no
abiding treasure on earth and not unffe-

MEEKNEss.--We heard Of a poor boy,
about eighteen, who fell in love with a
" strong minded widow aged thirty.6vp.
He was in a bad way, didn't understand
"widders," but hung around' 50 much
as TO attract the notice and contempt Of his
idol Getting desperate, and hearing the
widow was sick, he mustered his courage,
went down to the house and offered 10
"watch with her" Her eyes flashed, she
Jumped up, looked at him, and said with
awful distinctness 'H l... NJ
" Jcm, tell your mother IL she don't keep
you to home, IN hurt yOH !" .t.s...,,..
yem arose, went 70 her (" dograypc,"
Which hung over the mantlepiccc, kissed ii,
dropped two tears on the cats back, made
up an awful faee--and left. Hasn't been
there since.--IClinton Courant. -asn %

Among the many wonderful revolutions
characteristic of The century in which We
live, aud which constitute it, if we except
be fifteenth, iho most Important era in the
history Of civilization, not the least promi-
nent is that which has essentially altered the
character and shifted the possession Of the
trade of the world. The sceptre of oriental
commerce, welded successively by the
great maratime States of modern Europe,
has passed to people the growth Of yes-
lerdsy, whose ancestors, af(cr Lisbon and
Amsterdam had become opulent by the
steady stream Of traffic which followed in
lhV wake Of the adventurous de Cana, were
cSpousing the cause Of the English Parlia-
meht, against Charles, OF fighting under
Guaavus or Tily in the religious wars Of
Germany. For US, therefore, The condition
and probable destiny of Asia and lhe Asiaiis
archipelagoes possess peculiar interest and
this is especially true of that empire which,
from the rigidly maintained seclufion Of
two hundred years, has earned the sppella-
ton Of the Hermit of Nations. Ir al
The interests Of navigation iHnpel US 10 a
more intimate acquaintance with The islands
Of Japan. Their thousand miles Of rocky
coast, lashed BY boisicrous sea, is yet 10
be intimately examined and accurately des-
cribed. They are indicated as presenting,
from situation and capacity, stations for The
recruit and supply Of our marine, especially
our whales in those seas. From the ascer-
tanned existence Of coal, they arc Of great
importance in view Of the steam comEnuni-
Gallon with China soon to be established--
Receiving with allowance the statements oI
revolving cruelty exercised upon our ship
wrecked seamen, il is nevertheless indispu-
'a6le that In many instances they have seen
ubjscted TO long and rigorous confinement,
and that sometimes The mystery which has
enveloped their fate has originated painful
'urmises. Lastly, the Just demand Of hu.
manisyi unsatisfedy 50 long as the harbori
that open upon q fSequented aud dangefou,
sea are sealed to the distressed mariner.-
These considerations impel to and yindicale

But not alone are we Influenced by pros.
