the church. They naturally avoided it, as
the adoption of distinguished habit would
have marked them for persecution. But as
the adoption of a Llack coat or white neck
cloth marks the clergyman OF these days, and
rs these clerical peculiarities OF attire came
in, we can scarcely say how or when, so it
was with respect to the clerical tonsure in the
middle ages. one of the fashions against
which some Of the clergy were wont to
preach was the wearing Of long hair 10y the
men, custom prevalent among northern ma
ions, but denounced as encoura gng efteni-

the long locks of tha laity were soon dstl-
guishcd from the laity by clipping their hair;
and the custom comnendel itself the rather

fashions were adopted by the clerical tor

something emblematcal in the manner IN
which the scissors were directed. The East
crn clergy were accustomed to shave the eu-
tire front of the head, leaving the hair on the
hinder part untouched; ana to this Gust, IL
the British clergy, true to their Eastern ori- |
gin, adhered. Whereas, the Italians shaved |
their heads according to what they called the

THE MENDocGNo INDIANs-The Men1ocino
IIerald's correspondent says; The Yuka
tribe are those mostly within the valley, and
Immediately adjoining in the mountains
They number perhaps five or six hundred;
whilst the ThIackees, more warlike and
unluendly class, range within a scope of
country some ten or twelve miles around,
and number, perhaps, two thousand or more.
They have great dread of the Reservation,
and will not remain on it when taken there,
and seem even to take pleasure in killing all
kinds Of stock whenever the opportunity of
fers. They are particularly fond of mule
meat, which they usually kill in preference
TO the fated calf A few days since the
slaughtered corses of horses and mules were
found sen tered in all directions upon their
trail and large quantities of such supplies
laid up at their rancherias.
Where no good excuse exists for such OUT
rageous destruction of property, it is not
strange that our citizens should feel eXasper-
ated beyond endurance, and deal out summa
ry vengeance, their only remedy in such In
stances. Much fault has been found to our
present system Of treating the Indians; hut
he who complains OF the evil should cffer the
remedy. The young ones should be taken
and bound out in white families. where they

and squaws, all theories fail when applied to
them They are grown up in their wild,
roaming and indolent habits, and every days
observation more clearly convinces me of the
oft repeated fact, that they must gradually
become extinct, else forever to be pest and
trouble to the white man. | refer paricu-
