The Indian Exhi bition,

get TO notice The Indian Exhibition last
week.
Mr.. Duvall's troupe OF Sac and Fox
Indians are genuine red men of the un-
civilized order, brought frnm their
homes without culture or other artificial
preparation, and display the wild men
OF the plains in their own character
Their speeches. singing and dancing
were all Enthusiastically Indian. and the
exhibition proved an entertainment ev-
en- TO a Kansas audience. although most
of the assembly were familiar with the
aboriginees.
We can assure our readers and friends
on East that this troupe Of Indians are
the true grit, no painted white men
or negroes go. up for speculation, bu,

We were visited By one Of The llardes
rain and wind storms combined we have
ever Witnessed ia Kansas. Ii biew al
most perfect hurricane for Inc space

in torrents. Lightning and thunde'
accompanied the storm. and the ele'

the storm was needed. and did inva!u 4

Defense Of Railroad Company.

A writer at Wyando:te takes us to
task for saying the settlers on the Re-
serve were ordered off by the military
regardless of permit, and that the con-
tracts Of the L. P. & W. Co. were re-
pudialed by the present Co. We stated
that these statements came TO US direct
from the settlers. Doubtless, harrassed
as they are, they hear and believe a
great many things that are exaggera-
lions Of the acts performed; but IN al!
conscience lie truth is bad enough aud
the acts sufficiently tyranical and inhu-
man. Unfortunately, this writer give S
no proof; he only reports hsarsay. VIA
he has heard members OF the company
say. He says:
Now, we have reason to believe from
what we have heard different members
of the Co. say, that ii is their desire
that not only those who have bought;
should remain; but they are desiiols
that ali that have or may purchase sod
settle on the land. This is evidently
10 their interest, as il viii greatly en-
larce The whine OF the LANDS unsold.
Very true, sir; but just here is the
rascaiitr The company want The set
tiers 10 purchase, when they can give
no return or equivalent. The COM
pany does not Own the land, and can
make 40 tile 10 it. Why ask. demand.
compel the settlers 10 hu, until they
can deed ? Here is the frs' step in tbs
outrage-taking something for nothing.
Why uot wait until they have right TO
sell the land II i; is true. that the
settlers are adding 20 the value q, the
land by settling upon and improving II,
why remove them
The writer says the present Com
pany does not repudiale the contracts
Of the old one; but lie does not prove
ii. Possibly they do not. He says
further, ghat If Sam Denman ''hss step

that he should not il amounts TO but
little, IF reported to the company
steps would be taken TO prevent It's re-
currence. We believe those only are
ordered to leave who have gone on the
land without authority; and are selling
and destroying timber &C."
Tie writer signs himself Justice, bui
he is evidently small piece of timber,
and does not perceive the first step IN
the act of the Company 10 be utterly
wrong. The facts We publish elsewhere
may open his eyes. But for our desire
to do ample justice to all parties. we
shuuld not have noticed his "hearsays"
and his beliefs We want facts. VIII

This, the new motto of the party in hostile
array against the Administration, is harm
less looking phrase. There is nothing in the
sound that seems like battle cry, but under
the smooth surface lies hidden bitter hatred,
that bitterest of all, the hate Of one race
against another. There is also stern and
savage determination to preserve, or rather tc
win back the power 50 long welded by ''the
party" and no means are too low or too wick
ed for the purpose. There is speciousnes.
about the assertions that will find acceptance
with many. To causual observation, ours
has been apparently awhite mans Government
for slavery has held sway at the South and
prejudice in the North.
The vast amount ofunskilled labor crowding
to our shores from Europe has been frequent
ly put in direct and immediate competition
with that of colored freemen, consequently
deadly feeling has been evoked and has occa-
sionally found terrible expression; and it is
this feeling that the party is now willingly,
wilfully and knowingly stimulating and excit-
ing into renewed vigor. ALI political,an nearly
all social rights and privileges, have been me-
nopolized by the whites, and only inferior or
sentimental occupations have been open to the
blacks; and it is here that they have come into
conflict with the illiterate and prejudiced por-
lions of our communicable people who nat
urally oppose all invocations, and whom it is
impossible to convince that any future good
will arise out of present apparent evil; the
very persons who, in their native country
have wreaked terrible Vengeance on the mill
owners and destruction upon the machinery
which was, perhaps, or only threatened, to be
an injury of the day, while assuring immedi-
ate future benefit. 1t is on such class, and to
such a blind and inevitable prejudice, that the
appeal is directly made, and those who make
it must bear all the present odium and future
responsibility of all the dreadful acts that
must necessarily spring from the fostering OF
such ademon-like bitterness towards a long pro-
scribed and now manumitted race Philadel-

why We should wear Boards.

On this subject bearded philosophers have
speculated with loose rein, giving free exercise
to both whip and spur. Some people wear
boards to beautify their countenances, and
hence all the fantastic shapes into which they
are trimmed to suit the individuals idea of
beauty. The hair-lipped man is sure to shave
only under the chin or the sides of the face
/ The man with a tunor On his neck will per-
haps shave his upper lip; the man of inor,li-
nateiy wide mouth always goes it big on
moustaches. A few only allow nature full
sway, and suffer the full beard to grow without
clip or clearing.
The latest argument for a full beard, and
particularly for moustaches, that we have
seen, is done up after this style:
The hair of the moustache not only absorbs
the moisture and miasma of the logs, but it
strains the air from the dust and SCOT OF our
great smoky cities. 1t acts also in the most
scientific manner, by taking heat from the
warm breath as it leaves the chest, and sup
plying it to the cold air taken in. Its not on
ly respiratOr but with the beard entire we
are provided with a comforter as well and
these are never left at home, like umbrellas
and all such appliances, whenever they are
wanted. The remarkable thing is, too, that
the beard, like the hair of the head, protects
against the heat of the sun; it acts as thatch
does to an ice-house; but, more than this, it
becomes moist with the perspiration, and then,
by evaporation, cools the skin. A man who
accepts this protection of nature may face the
ruuest storm and the hardest winter. He
may 60 from the hottest room into the coolest
ar without any dread; and we verify believe
ne might sleep in a morass with impunity-at
least his chance Of escaping the terrible fever
would be better than his beardless compall-
ions.
There is another respect in which the beard
is like the thatch. 1t takes up the dust, es-
pecially when moist with perspiration, and
makes perfect jungle for the accommoda-
ton OF small insects, velsarly called vermin.
But then, it is not to disparage long, shaggy,
dirty bearIls that we write, but rather to ex-
press our regrets that the Creator should have
been SO unnindful of the beauty, comfort and
health of the most delicate portion of human
creation, the ladies. How they must suffer
through lack Of beard and moustachesl With
no such protection, no such 'tbatch," why are
they not all stamped with the fatal seal of
sickness and death? Why are they ever free
from the hacking cough and the bronchitis?-
roor creatures, how they ere neglected! What
superior care and attention have been bestow-
ed upon the superior animall

Public sentiment does not make laws, put II
moulds the men who do make them. 1t does
not execute the laws, but it inspires execu-
tives. and nerves even judicial tribunals tel
the performance of their stern and often dls-
agreeable duties.
Public sentiment can make oppression
odious or intolerable; it can by its moral Iorce
protect the poor or it may leave them to per
ish; it can kill or make alive; it can ezalt
man to heaven or sink him to almost hopeless
debasement.
Such being its power how important that Il
should be properly enlightened, and made tc
bear in the right direction; that its aid should
always be given to the oppressed and defence
less, and that those who give direction tot
should be men of firm purpose and with princi
pies true to humanity.
We are led to these remarks by an article
in the Worcester Spy, entitled @Mr Beechers
Philosophy" The writer objects to the iatt
strange sermon of this popular preacher, an(
ays:-"Mr Beechet, with Plymouth pups
''for rostrum, and all the high conservative
stiournals of the metropolis to repeat his words.
"preached concilIation sermon, of which
athis was apparently the key note The laws
"and intents of the government and ourselves
Hwill prove Of no avail if they are hostile and
Gunpleasant to the svlsiJe people Of the South
at would have been like the Mr. Deecher who
sprsached sound doctrine in Plymouth church
"years ago to have said, The laws and intent
@of the government win prove of no avail i.
sthey are hostile and unpleasant to the Loyal
"people of the South"
The Spy makes the following judicious re-
marks touching the power of public opinion
and the duty of true men in relation to it:
The country Is in that situation now when
the most that men can do, who desire that
equal and just laws should prevail, is to re-
inforce public opinion with their own person
al energy. Neither individuals nor pu0lic
bodies can have any direct agency in making
the laws; but they can make public opinion
that will demand them, and which the law
making power will net dare to disobey. Who
believes that if the representatives and leader.
of that public sentiment which placed this adj
ministration in power, were united in askint
that some guarantees shall be given for the
rights of colored citizens before the states in
which they are now outlaWed return to the
Union, and recover complete and irresponsi-
bic power over the whole subect,-Who be-
lieves that Congress or the President himself
would hesitate for single hour ? Yet they
will hesitate, and the success of the principles
we all profess to hold viii be postponed, mot
defeated, it is not in mans power to accom-
plish that-if men whom we have been accus-
toned to trust turn their faces away from the
imperied cause of equal rights, and, like the
priest and the Levite, pass by on the other
side.
