The STEAMSHIP TARrAR.-This steamer which
was formerly the noted blockade runner, Wren,
has just been entirely reitted by the Harlan 81
Hollingsworth Company. The vessel has steel
hull and is propelled by oscillating engines. She
was built by the Lairds, and has engraved on her
engine "Laird g. Bro, Birkenhcad Iron Works. !"
When built she had as little of her hull above
water as possible. The Fl. & H. Company have
added another deck to her and fitted her up as q
first class ocean going freight and passenger
steamer. The Tartar is 218 feet in length, breadth

COMMERCIAL n communication from "Unclc

that the whole community involuntarily call
.Uncle Tom," his remarks are well worthy of
consideration. But on reading his article 1t
seems the old gentleman is getting somewhat
antiquated his mind becoming infrm, as could
not believe that he would state anything in your
spicy journal that would mislead the public.
In his younger days "Uncle Tom" would not
have been so much surprised Gas he says he was
on learning that company owning line of rail-
road, ninety or one hundred miles in length, on

Capital of this great Yankee nation, should dis

how much more the Railroad Company save n

this city than they weuld by the same expendi-
ture, In the same manner, for the same purpose,

The Triumph Of Whisky.

It is calculated that at least 10 600. 900
gallons of whisky are annually manufac-
tured in this country, and if only the
tax on three -fourths Of it were collected
the Government would receive 800, ,000,-
600. This would place our finances on
ment received S37 100000 on whisky.
This year it will receive less than $780,
100000. For the last three months it
has been receiving only at the rate of
100000 year from this source AS
whisky is an immense stimulant to all
kinds Of rascality, it is no wonder it is
guilty Of such immense revenue frauds.
Nothing like whisky to carry point
In an election canvass, it is mightier
than a thousand Ciceros, or one hundred
thousand Chris tians.
As a provocative to and nerve
strengthener to murder, it is more po-
tent than jealousy, envy, hate, avericc
and all the DEVILS passions that hold
high saturnalia below stairs. or howl
through the subterranean cavcrns of
pandemonium. What wonder, then,
that whisky should cheat the Govern
ment out of its revenues, since it can
fuddle and bribe the officials. Did all
whisky pay the tax, it should sell at
so so per gallon; but it is plenty at
81 so, and has been sold as low as 81 25,
all properly branded as ''tax paid"
There are so many rascals in the whisky
business thatno one engaged in the traf-
fc can afford to be honest, and one must
either close out or unite with the scoun-
drels who can look down from their
golden emincnces upon all moral re-
proach with lofty scorn.
Plate sin in gold,
And the strong lance of Justice hurtless breaks
Clothe it in rags, pigmy straw can pierce it"

JULY 25, 1867.

A large quantity OF corn, variety OF
household goods, peltry, and other arti-

consisted of seventy houses, many OF

The citizens of to day can hardly re-
alize that but few miles distant from
Lafayette there existed such an exten-
sive community of mixed civilized and
savage people at so early period as
1890, yet an early period of historic ex-
istencc precedes it. An Indian once

Captain when a youth. By remarkable
coincidence, Captain Brouillette's wife's
mother was also captive, whose dis
covery in her old age, after captivity
of sixty years, in the year 1887, on the
Mississinewa river, awakened an intense
interest. Frances Slocum, the ''lost SIS
ter" was captured from the village of
Wilksbarre, by some hostile Delaware
Indians. She was five years old when
made captive, and was adopted into the
family of the chief Tuck hos, who was
man Of great distinction. Frances, when
she grew up to womanhood, was mar
ried to Delaware, and subsequently to
a Miami chief, called the .Deafm an"
The village on the Mississinewa was
called '.Deafman's village" where the
captive lived for twenty years previous
to her discovery. This village was well
known to the Indian traders. and the
old settlers. Our respected fellow citi
zen, H. T. Sample, has known this local
ity over forty five years, and was well
acquainted with the s'Deafman,' Brouil-
lette, and the captive. He visited the
village in the fall OF 1889, and made
sketch of the "captive'-a valuable
subject for the pencil. She died some
sixteen years since. Captain Brouil
lette died on the 18th ult. There are but
few of his tribe remaining in the old
forest homes, to hold him in renem-
brance. But while Miami lives Brou-

and heart.
Brouillette became convert to Chris
tianity through the missionary labors Of
one Of the Slocums. a nephew Of the
Captive" who settled among the Mi
amies after the discovery of his aunt.
Brouilette attached himself to the
Baptist denomination. He entered into
his religious profession with an earnest
zeal, so much SO that he became mis-
sionary among the few of the tribe that
yet remained in the State of Indiana,
along the Mississinewa river, Pipe creek
and other old cherished localities of the
Miami people.

DOVES AS FARM STocK-In many por-
tions of France it 10 said to be tie prac-
tice of land holders to make il o con.
dition in their leases to tenants that they
shall provide > pigeon-house, or dove
cot. and keep it we'll stocked with these
birds. The reason for the condition is
that these birds do great amount of
good in eating up the seeds of noxious
plants, such as chess, cookie, and the
like. They do not live on we'll grown
grain when they can find that which is
shriveled, as well as the seeds Of weeds
and grasses. They are busy workers
among the offal Of the barn-yard, but
do not, like the barn-yard fowls, scratch
up gardens and play the mischief gener-
ally. It is q general remark amozg
French farmers, that in districts where
the pigeon is the most abundant there
the wheat fields are cleanest and the
crops the most prolific. aa

Usefulness Of Birds.

It is well-known fact that insects are
the favorite food of most kinds of birds,
particularly of the smaller kind, and to
encourage the increase of the feathered
tribe by all possible means would doubt
less result in very considerable advan
Of these useful little warblers are an
nually destroyed through mere wantol-
ness and cruelty, while the farmer is
continually harrassed with the ravages
of worms and bugs in every apartment
Of vegetation. It is from small birds
we are look for assistance against the
myriads of insects whose depredations
are so deieterious to our fields and gar
dens, and whose numbers. if they are
permitted to increase, by the extriaption
Of our harmless benefactors, the feath-
cred songsters, will cut up our substance
and destroy the labors Of the wearied
husbandman, who tolls by tie sweat Of
his brow to earn his well earned produc-
tons.
A writer says 'the parents of one nest
Of young birds have been calculated to
destroy many thousands of insects in
one day, and thus at the commenceme ent
of q warm season one days havoc pre-
vents the existence of many millions of
those beings, whose extensive devasta-
ton present a barrier so discouraging to
the exertions of the agriculturist."
The following is an extract from some
remarks by highly intelligent and en-
lightened cultiyator of the soil: "The
destruction of vast fields of grain by
flies in some parts of our country, has
been reasonably attributed to the exter-
mination of birds. 1t has indeed been
found necessary to protect several spe-
cies by law; but policy and humanity
require that the protection should be
further extended. Seme birds are pur-
sued with unsparing hostility, from err
roneous notions of their pernicious
habits. The woodpecker is of this class
yet she deserves the gratitude instead of
the ill will of man. She borcs no trees
but such as are unsound, from which
she extracts insects which are slowly
efecting their destruction. ae
Linn@us related an occurrence in
Sweden which is somewhat to tile point
Among the birds Of that country was a
particular species which the country
people arprehended were somewhat de-
structive to their crops. They accord
ingly made war upon them, and by year
ly attacks extermined them. In conse-
qnence, the insects which were the prin-
cipal food of these birds increased to
such an exten. as to do hundred fold
more damage to their crops of grain and
grass than the birds had done. They
then strove to reinstate their species and
their spreading in the country.
Let us not grudge, then, even q little
grain, nor even few of the cherries
from our immensely large crop this year,
TO the harmless birds in general, which
animate nature in compensation for
the invaluable services they render us.

Sitting in the gathering shadows
OF the twilighfs tender glow,
Well known forms some fitting by me, ga
OF the happy long ago;
Shadows that looked dim and vacant,
) Into loved forms seem to glide;
Old age, manhood, biitLesome childhood,
Now again are by my side.
Thro' the time past family ringing, s.-
Ste ,ls . music sweet and clear;
Startling up the oden echoes,
With their notes of merry cheer. .,s Is
One BY one the links of memory atg7 se.gE
Gently glide to place again.
Till in harmony completed,
Forms once more the golden chain.
Listen to the song that's swelling,
Family drst, then clear and sweet,
Tells Of sorrows past forever o
Sings Of happiness complete
Nor shall cease the joyous measure,
Till with the bright throng above,
Loud the anthem is repeated
In that land where all is love.

MILITARY RECONSTRUCTION.

Senator Sherman Declares the Mea-
snre FinaIity-He is Anxious that
the South should Aceept-NO Pros
perlGy for Either Section under
Military Surveillance.
The Macon, Ga, papers contain the fol-
lowing letter from Senator Sherman to
citizen of that place, which is important as
containing a pledge that the military re-
construction bill will be held as a finality,
if acted upon and accepted by the excluded
States:
UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMRER,
Washington, March II, 1867. Sir /:
Your letter Of the 9Th instant is received
The bill you referred to was passed in the
earnest hope that it would tend to the full
restoration of all the States to ali their
rights in the Union. The sixth section /
think too harsh, bat it was put in the
House as the result of opposition from both
extremes. At the request Of large num-
bers from the South, we are passing a sup
Elementary act 10 provide machinery of
reconstruction. The origina, bill left all
this to each State, but there was danger of
double organizations and conventions, and
therefore, to avoid further strife or diff
ference, this new act will be passed. II ia
merely a scaifolding.
Ny earnest conviction is, that the South
should not forego this opportunity 10 be
restored to representation and you may
rely upon it, that majority in both Houses
will adhere 10 this offer, and execute it in
good faith, and TO the letter, if your people
will DO likewise. Neither section can be
prosperous while the present condition of
military surveillance prevails.
You can DO as You please with this.
Very truly yours,
