CARRYING THE MAILS A CORES

CARRYING THE MAILS - 4 cores
pendent of the Pioneer writing from
Pembina gives description of bow
mails arc carried in winter on the far
frontier. He says:
Mail carriers (French and half
brecds) all use "dog train in the
winter season, which consists of three
dogs harnessed before sledge-which
is simply board, turn i up like a skate
runner at one end.
When the mail IS ready, the driver
brings around his team, already loaded
with seven days supply Of provisions
(mostly "pcm: nican") for himself and
dogs. .:>.~~. AA@ 800
The mail is tied on behind, and away
he goes, on journey OF one hundred
and fifty miles, and return. Their av-
erage distance is about forty miles per
day. They can make seventy five.
The dogs are fed only once each day,
at night There is no delay on the
road the dogs take a click of snow
as they move along. At night they
have about one pound and a half of
pemican each lie down, and arc ready
in two hours Gf necessarily to start
again ;but the driver must rest, fol-
running behind "train" forty miles
per day is all he can endure.

The chronological Journal for JAN
uary gives wood engraving Of a Sioux
Scalp Dance, and makes the following
remarks on Indians: -
If it be said that they have certain
good qualities, the same may be said Of
animals Do they care for their young?
So does a wolf, a hawk, and snake
Do they worship? Yes; 50 do savages
of all countries. But they are only
idolaters, not Christians. But can they
not be civilized and Chrlstianizcd p
Yes but they must first be suJjugated
and brought under authority, then
taught the arts of civilization, and c0n,-
pellet to work for a living. They
must not be- permitted to rrey on each
other, nor on their more industrious
white neighbor. They must be forced
into measures which are calculated as
much for their good. as for that Of the
rest of mankind. At present they are
only a nuisance on the face Of the
earth and if they will not he improy-
ed, they must be exterminated. No
milk-and-water policy will do for the
North American Indians. can2I'> .

ceived u .tc:te: from Scrst. Hugh

attack of an Indian camp, an outline Of
which We condense
Information was brought to Maj
Hatch from St. 10 that a small party
of Sioux was cncampcd short distance
from town. As the thermometer stood
at $50 below zero, the Major refused
to order out the Battalion, but gave au-
thority for airy volunteers to go if they
wished. Thirteen started at eleven
o'clock at night and marched thirty five
miles to St. 10, reaching there the next
afternoon. Hearing that there were
Indians in town they searched the
houses, but failed t., find any. They
then started for the lodges, located in
the mountains, about five miles distant
The camp was in a ravinc, and they
found it ut shutdown. The first Indian
that was seen, all fired at and he drop
ped. Sergeant Craig next accidentally
lodged Il ball in the neck Of squaw
that ran before his sights. All the In
dams that were in the camp at the
time, five in humber, three males and
two females, were killed and scalped.
Serst G. sent portion of the scalp
he took to Nj. Foot. Each man Tough
on his own responsibility. Four or FIVE
shots were fired by the Inoians but
without doing any injury The party
then returned having marched eighty
miles in two days and part of two
nights.

The SANITARY FAIR AND THE
GREAT ORaAN.-[Ex of letter
from o. B. T to flr;ecd in New York
dated Boston; Dec. Is. 1.-The opening
Of the grand Fair Of the Sanitary here,
[ witnessed Monday evening, and most
immense it was to be sure. An equal
amount of material and spiritual splen-
dor I never saw combined. Two fig
ures looked down on it all, impressive
ly-the great bronze Beethoven and
oil Josiah Quincy. 1t wos enough to
make man cry to sec the one and
think Of the other. Old josiah sitting
under the Beethoven with the organ be-
hind him, battle flags around, and be-
fore him all the beauty and wealth and
loyalty Of Boston. The cid man Look
cd as unconscious as u child. But that
New England pluck and nobility of his
was the heart OF it all. And | heard
the organ, and must say that only
hearing is believing. There is an air
of immortality about it, and it sounds
as if it had been played a hundred
years, and had been seasoned aud sat
uratcd, wood and metal, with the spirit
of all the great masters. The tones are
mellow and smooth, and soft as glowing
wire, and as it is worked by the law of
hydrostatics, so in its working there is
that regularity and ease that suggests
the action of a law of nature. 1t is
the ideal instrument it is all oae
dreams of in an instrument, and it is
as beautiful as It is good.
