of some standing, living in solitary house
with servants who dare not prune him,
and with acquaintances who will not take
the trouble to prune him, must necessarily,
unless he be very wise and good man,
grow into most amorphous shape. Ibeg
the reader to mark the exception I make !;
for presume he will agree with me when
] say, that in the class of old bachelors
and old maids may be found some of the
noblest specimens Of the human race. A
judicious wife is always shipping off from
her husbands moral nature little twigs that
are growing in wrong directions. She
keeps him in shape by continual pruning.
If you declare that you will do some abb
surd thing, she will find means of prevent
ing your doing it. And by far the chief
part of all the common sense there is in
this world, belongs unquestionably to the
woman. The wisest things a man COM
monty does are those whcih bis wife coun-
sells him to do. It is not always so. You
may have known man do, at the instiga-
ton of his wife, things so malicious, petty,
and stupid, that it is inconceivable any man
should ever do them at all. But such Ca
ses are exceptional.

against them to an amount exceeding two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars for
goods sold them through series of four
teen years. The traders and the commits
sioners had a private meeting, and two
hundred thousand dollars were allowed.
So hastily was this done that in two or
three instances the allowances were
greater than the claims. One of these old
Indian traders had become a United States
Senator, and his goodwill it was desirable
for the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to
conciliate. So his claim Of forty-fve thou
sand dollars, twice before rejected under a
q former administration, was allowed.
To pay this debt the Winnebagoes were
removed to the "naauuais terres" or
"bad land +" Of the Upper Missouri, and
their reservation was sold and bought by
the Indian traders. The Indians were
taken to country notoriously destitute of
timber, or game, or grass, or arrable land
to an utter desert. They were trans
ported at an expense to the government
of $3.50, 900, although they would gladly
have made the journey for one tenth that
sum. For more than year the govern
ment at a large additional cost, has been
subsisting these Indians, and is now about
to move them to some other locality. The
sale of their lands has not paid their debt
to the traders; yet gentleman sent to
Minnesota to investigate the frauds of
Mr.. Buchanan's Indian Agents, reported
to the Commissioners that there was no
proof whatever of the alleged indebted
ness of the Indians. He asserted the
whole affair to be fraud, and stated his
reasons. His application to have public
examination Of the accounts, under the
scrutiny Of counsel selected by the VIM
nebagoes was rudely denied. This is not
all, nor the worst, as I am prepared to
show. HENRY W. De PUY.

stop lmportatiOns.

Movements are now on foot in the loyal
States to stop importation of silks, Jewell
ry, &c. Why not include wines and IL
quors? Are our patriotic ladies aware
that more gold is paid to Europe for these
articles than there is paid for silks and
satins. and these articles, too, can be re-
placed so well with our own pure native
wines? We called in house on River
street not long ago, and in the wine cellar
we tasted strawberry, blackberry, cherry
and other wines, which to US tasted far
ahead of the imported ports, sherries, &c.
In the June number of Harper's Montz-
ly may be found a highly interesting trea-
tise upon wine making. "The production
of wine, says the writer, "is the most
important branch of agricultural industry
on earth at all events there are only to
be compared with it, the culture of rice,
which forms the staple food of nearly one
third of the human race.
Europe is the main seat of wine culture,
producing little more than three thousand
million gallons a year, which, estimating
the average value at place Of production,
is worth, on thespot, more than eight hun
dred millions of dollars, in gold.
Messrs. Bennett Pieters & Co., of Chi
cago, have for the past three years been
making extensive preparations for the
manufacture of home made wines. They
have the most extensive arrangements with
fruit growers, and in the proper season
they gather strawberries, cherries, peach
es, blackberries, raspberries, &C., &C., to
an enormous amount. Their wines far
excel many of the imported wines, both in
purity and exhilirating effects. Many of
these homemade wines are being largely
adulterated. Buy none but those with
the unmistakable label Of Bennett Pieters
& Go. These gentlemen are men of high
respectability, and guarantee every article
from their house pure and unadulterated.

Why we have Indian Wars.

To the Editors of the Euening Post:
know the impression prevails in the
Indian Office in Washington, for have
often heard it expressed there, that no pub
lie interest can be awakened in any fraud
upon the Indians, however fragrant it may
be. No one cares for the Indian or his
wrongs, as such, and it is the reflex action
of the outrages inflicted upon him by the
agents of the government, coming back to
Us in the form of pillage, fire and massa-
ere, which startles US. In a late number
of the Eoenimg Post you have truly stated
the cause of our Indian wars to be the
fraudulent practices of the Indian Bureau
in its dealings with the Indian tribes. You
state case in which one band of the
Sioux, against whom Pope's campaigns are
directed, did not get one per cent. Of the
money pledged to them by the govern
ment. The excellent Bishop Whipple,
from whom you quote, can tell you of
many other instances equally fragrant. But
are you sure that the practices which you
have so admirably described, and which
you so Indignantly condemn, ceased with
the administrations of buchanan and
Pierce?" Need you go back so far to
find the wrongs which occasioned the pres
ent outbreaks? Do you suppose the present
head of the Indian Bureau less complais-
ant towards the " swindling traders " than
his predecessors On the contrary, as his
predecessors never did, he requires the
Indians to receive all their payments from
traders appointed by himself. Not only
this, but be has in large number of in
stances paid claims of Indian traders which
had been rejected under both the admin
istrations of buchanan and Pierce"
Let me state one instance. Three years
ago the Winnebagoes occupied reserva-
ton of perhaps thirty miles in length and
fifteen in breadth. 1t was in the most de-
lightful part of Minnesota, and the soil
was of unsurpassed fertility. Many of the
Winnebagoes had adopted the habits of
civilized life, having farms, and houses and
stock. But the swindling traders, " who
"under Buchanan and Pierce -" had fraud
ulently absorbed ''ninety-nine hundredths"
of the Indian moneys, were not yet So
tiated, and they appealed to the present
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs for relief.
They had claims against the Winnebagoes /
which Mr.. Buchanans administration nao
rejected the payment Of Their suffer-
ings appealed to the tenderest sympathles 4
of the Commissioner. Acommlsslon, con-
sisting of the superintendent ana agent
was appointed to investigate snese CLAIMS
secretju. There was no knowledge Of the
Investigation among the white Inhabitants
of Ninnesota. and no notice was given the
Winnebagoes that there were charges
