"BIG INDIAN.n-An Indian, who
from some misfortune or bad manage
ment has lost both feet, came into town
on Tuesday. He was first seen on his
knees, walking the street. He was next
seen on . pony several miles from town,
driving before him two horses belonging
tosMr. P. D. Humphrey, and two be-
longing to J. E. Boynton. Three of the
horses have been recovered; the other is
yet to be. found. All the circumstances
seemed to indicate, on the part Of Mr..
Indian, design to steal. "The poor
Indian who sees God in the clouds, and
hears Him in the wind" didn't seem to
see Or hear Him, Or If he did, didn't heed
Him.

Bad State of Morality.

The reports of the police upon the
drinking saloons Of New York preliminary
to the action of the Excise Commission
ers 10 all saloons which are not licensed
show shocking state Of affairs. In one
precinct there are 37I rum-shops, in
another 401, in another 545 and another
G21. The most of these are of the lowest
description, where the vilest liquor is
dealt out to men, women and children.
The Tribune presents this picture:
ANY one who may choose, some
pleasant Saturday afternoon, to visit a
well known distilery in the New Bowery,
may see hundreds Of men, women ard
children coming from that place with
milk pals, coffee pots, earthern mugs,
old oyster cans, tin cups, and every other
conceivable vessel that could be used for
the purpose, filled with villainous
liquid, for which they pay five cents pint.
A few hours later the same persons may
be seen in the slums of Baxter, Cherry,
and Roosevelt streets, in every possible
degree of drunkenness, from the merely
tight, through all the stages Of Keeling,
blind, furious, wallowing, delirious fight
ing and crazy, to dead drunk, in which
condition some of them actually die every
week. We said auy one may see these
sights-he might have seen them las,
week, whether they will be visible this
week depends somewhat upon the rigor
with which the new Excise Laws will be
enforced"

THE past three months, in n elm atical
point of view, has been singular. From
every quarter Of the country comes infor-
nation that winter fingered longer than
usual in the lap of spring, and that this
protracted dalliance with the gentle vernal
season gave her some rude touches marring
her beautiful features and delaying her de-
parture from the stage or, to state the mat
ter prosaically, it has been a cold, backward
spring. Not only has this been the case, but
there have occurred in various districts in
the Northwestern, Southern, and South
western regions storms of unusual violence,
and various extraordinary atmospherical
disturbances. Within the past week, which,
here at least, seems TO have ushered in warm
June weather, we read of tornadoes and hur-
ricanes which have done more or less dam
age. The causes for this unusual condition
of things we leave 10 the scientific and the
weather-wise, not doubling that if human
philosophy could discover them, they would
be found in perfect accordance with the laws
of nature, and the best for the human family
in the long run. To all appearances, how
ever, the elements have now abandoned
their eccentricities, and the seasons resumed
their natural course
Would that We could hope that the poll
teal storms which have swept with such
fury and devastation over the country were
equally abated, and that we were entering
upon a season Of peace and prosperity in
that regard.

sANTA ANNA AND MEXICO.

The mystery surrounding the sudden visit
of SANTA ANNA to this country may be
penetrated, to partial extent by the follow
ing announcement of Mexican paper in
the interest of JUAREz and the Republic,
which has Just reached the United States:
From the Estafette, May 81
A letter from st. Thomas, dated March
l6, refers to an arrangement alleged to have
been entered into by Juarez ard Gen. Santa
Anna, according to which the latter is to
take the place of the former.
In this connection the ReSenG de Nora
publishes the following: 1--WE have just seen
a letter from Don Jose Maria lglesias, one
of Juarez's ministers, dated in the latter
part of last month, at Palso del Norte and
Mesilla, informing the Juarist leaders and
other Liberals that Juarez, at a council of
his ministers, had determined to transfer the
direction of affairs to Gen. Santa Anna, who
would undertake the political restoration of
the country. Santa Anna, it was expected,
would call n national convention in order TO
ascertain the will of the majority of the peO-
pie regarding the form of government most
acceptable to the country.

THE DESTITUTE OF THE SOUTH.

The Baltimore Sun, speaking of the Fair
in that city for the relief of tbs South, says:
This noble charity has proved a success
beyond the most sanguine hope of its pro-
iectors; S1S2; 600 has been received by the
treasurer, and disbursed by the State Com
mittee, and the amount yet to be handed in
from the tables and outside Committees, is
estimated at Sl1 800. The total expenses
of the fair amounted to S3, 500-leaving the
handsome sum of $4,000 as the net pro-
ceeds. This is the more gratifying when it
is borne in mind that the fair was held at a
period of great mercantile depression, and in
a community that has been more Severely
taxed for similar objects during the past five
years than any other in the!country. Great,
however, as has been the result, it has but
served to develop the vast amount of suffer-
ing in the Southern States, and will scarcely
meet 1.-THE of the applications for relief,
hundreds of them appealing to avoid abso-
lutte starvation. The lady managers have
determined to continue their noble work,
hoping and believing that the liberality of
our people is not vet exhausted.
