INDIAN BURN1NG.-The Marvsville Elk
prass learns that the Indians had burning
a few days ago, between Yrcka Flat and
Evansville. 1t Itappears that it is an annual
custom with these Indians to assemble, and
with solemn ceremony burn such articles as
may have belonged to their departed friends.
On the occasion referred to, after the pile
was prepared, the following following singular ing 45;nl and
known as Big Tom, who was brother to the
Grief WiIhalie, and who was notorious for
his cruelties. he having murdered several of
the tribe, while standing with another In
den at some distance from the group, was
suddenly pierced through the body with an
arrow. The fire was instantly lighted, and,
before the Indian, whose wound was mortal,
had done struggling, he was seized and cast
upon the pile, where he was consumed
Such is savage retributive justice.

WHAT ARE THE SOUND DUEs?-As these
dues may possibly give rise to a serious dis
pute between the United States and Den
mark, it viii be interesting to know what
they are. The "SOund" is narrow strait
lying between the Island Of Zetland be-
longing to the Danes, and the Swedish
coast, and gives entrance to the Baltic Sea,
The fortress of Cronburg Castle commands
the passage, and exacts payment from all
.esseis entering the Baltic; the ships Of
Denmark herself have to pay, as we'll as for
eign tonnage.
England, France, Holland and Sweden
pay a duty Of one per cent. on every cargo
entering the Baltic. Other countries, in
Guiding the United States, pay one and a
quarter per cent; even Danish ships are
taxed at this rate. In the year 1926 a
treaty recognizing this duty was concluded
between the United States and Denmark.
This treaty, however, according to one OF
its stipulations, may be dissolved by either
of the parties, provided they give one year S
notice of their intention. This notice has
been given by the United States, and hence
tue dispute.

ascertain when they are within their re-
spective counties. That it would have been
better to hove substituted the natural (the
stream) for the artificial boundary no sane
man will deny, but our legislative Solons
thought differently. The boundary as at
present fixed, is not satisfactory to a large
portion of the people living in the district
or territory annexed to Amador. l know
by personal observation the people desire
to remain in FL Dorado county, and If the
question was left with the people of the dis
trict to decide, they would undoubtedly
vote so to remain. In other words, they
would vote for making Dry Greek the
southern boundary of FL Dorado, which IS
a natural boundary, and therefore Preiera-
BILE to any air line, or other artificial one.

of Col. A. B. Gray, late Surveyor Of the
Mexican Boundary Commission, giving a
profile and detailed survey of the road thro
Texas to California, which is represented
by him as highly favorable, confirming in
this respect the late report on this subject

CoRREorINe CHILDREN IN ANGEE.-There Is
a common error, which may need to be no.
ticed, that of correcting child hastily and
harshly and then, feeling that injustice has
been done, to compensate him by some sooth-
ing sugar plum or honied apology. 1t is not
easy to conceive of any thing more likely to
degrade the parent in the eyes Of its offspring
than such uconsderate folly-nothing more
sure to destroy his influence over the mind,
to harden the young heart in rebellion, and
make it grow bold in sin. In proportion as
the parent sinks in his esteem, self-conceit
grows up in the mind of the undutiful child.
Young people as well as old, pay great re-
spect to consistency, and on the contrary. de-
spise those whose conduct is marked with ca
price. The sacred relations of parent is no
protection against this contempt Those,
therefore, who would preserve their influence
over their children, who would keep the rens
that may guide them in periods of danger,
and save them from probable ruin, must take
care not to exhibit themselves as governed by
passion or whim rather than fixed principles
of Jus tice and duty.
