The Indian Dimculties.

Ir is amusing to any person who knows any
thing about the actual condition of affairs on
our western frontier, which is now the theatre
of war between the whites and the Indians, to
read the comments of most of the Eastern
newspapers in regard to the subject. 1t is evil
dent that most of our editors have studied the
Indian character in Fennimore Cooper's novels,
rather than in the history Of the country. The
popular idea is that the Indian is "noble
savage," Of most gentlemanly instincts, mild
and courteous in demeanor, never troubling
anybody unless absolutely driven into acorner
and compelled to fight, and requiring only to
be V,weII treated" to be a most peaceable and
welisdisposed citizen This is the fred man"

A Good Use Of Money.

pANIn DREW, Esq, one of the most prominent
capitalists of New York, has followed the wise
example % set by the Hon. Ezra Cornell and the
iiOn' asa Packer, the founders of the Cornell
anu Aehigh Universities, by devoting large
snare ol his fortune, while still living, to the
es'a'nsninent OF school of learning. Men OF
'or'une VINO desire thus to account for their
stewardship have usually been content to con-
unue the accumulation of wealth until their

hst''u'iOns by provisions in their wills. But
it is surely the better plan to perform such
generous deeds while they are yet living, that
with their own eyes they nav bebold the first
fruits Of the good that is to spring from their
generosity. The Lehigh University al South

NECESSITY FOR 1T.

The want of Line of Telegraph, located with
view to accommodate the river trade, has long
been felt. Many important towns now with
out any telegraphic communication whatever, and
the lines now established between other points
are, in most cases. disconnected, following cir
cuitous routes, hundreds of miles out of a direct
course, causing vexatious and unnecessary delays
to business, by reason of numerous repettions
and the frequent Interruptions incident to long
lines. When the facts are borne in mind that the
liability of a telegraph line to damage from any
cause is increased in the same proportion as its
length, and that the repetition of message dou-
bles the time necessary for its transmission, the
great and very important advantages of direct
route over the circuitous in operation
readily be seen.

The discharge from two ulcers was nearly O pint a

nounoed dangerous. / could not sleep, and my
sufferings were intolerable. A friend brought me
