face was all over smiling, and happy. Buffers
countenance was beaming with mildness, be-
nevolepce and affection.
General, heartily return to you good wish
es. am delighted to see You, General. Mr..
President, I am equally delighted.

ing 10 an exchange of civilities, when sudden

TIN L PLAINS,
INDIAN AFFAIRS.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2 Gen. Sherman has re
ceived letter from Gen. Sheridan, dated Fort
Cobb, Dec. 19t;, noting his arriva' there the
day previous with Gen. -Custar's 7th cavalry
and ten compan'es Of the 19.h Kansas cavalry
in all about 1909 men. Gen. Sheridan spent
one day on Custar's battle field, and found the
bodies OF Major Elliott and sixteen soldiers;
also, bodies of Mrs. Rlinn and child. While
captivas in the Indian camp, Mrs. Blum was
shot through the forehead and the child 3
brains dashed oIt. Gen. Sheridan followed on
the trail on tile Washita 70 miles, when he
came upon camp OF Kowas, who met him
with letter from Gen. HAGEN, which declared
them TO be friendly. Gen. Sheridan required
the Indians TO accompany him to Fort Cobb,
but discovered while travelling towards that
point that they were sending their families to
the Washita mountains. Suspecting that they
were attempting to deceive him, he tJok
Satanic and Lone Wolf aud notified them he
would hold them as hostages, and that if all the
N<ow"s did not come to Fort Cobb he would
hing them.
SHERIDAN say the Indians now realize
for the first time that winter will not compel
us to make truce with them and adds, that the
kiowas have been engaged in the war all the
time, aud have been playing fast and loose all
the time, that they have attempted to brow
beat Gen. Hazen since he came to Fort Cobb,
but will take the starch out OF them before 1
leave them.
The Cheyennes, Arapahoes and one band of
Camanches, with fifty lodges of Kiowas, are
now as Washita mountains.
Gen. Sheridan, after consultation with Gen.
Hazen proposes when the KIowas come in to
punish those who are known to have been con-
cerned in personal acts of murder. He will
send Black Kettles sister out to the Chey-
ennes and Arapahoe5 and command them to
come in and submit to like treatment. II
they refuse to come in, he will carry on war
against them in the Washita mountains. He
will leave with Gen Hazen a sufficient force
TO enable him to control the Indians now at
Fort Cobb and such others as may come in
there.
During the march from Camp Supply, the
weather and snow was very severe, but the
health of the command was good, only two
men OF the 7th cavalry and six of the 10Th
Kansas company being sick.
In private letter to Gen. Sherman, dated
one day later. Gen. Sheridan says the Kiowas
are coming in, that the Cheyennes have been
very humble since their punishment by Gen.
Custar, and he says no doubt that the Arapa-
hoes will also surrender and abide by his
terms, after which he has no fear of a renew.
ing of hostilities.

reference to the policy which he deemed de-
sirable that England should pursue. Mr..
Burlingame held that the objects of his mis-
sion showed evident signs of progress, and by
no means eviuced retrograde disposition on
the part of the Chinese government. He also
deprecated the practice of the Western powers
in using an unfriendly pressure to introduce
new systems and new ideas among people
whose knowledge of foreign nations was of re-
cent origin, and who were nurtured under
traditional system to which they were accus-
toned and attached, because such repressive
policy would tend to a revolution and repress
progress, whereas the Chinese government
fully admitted the necessity of progress and
desired to encourage it gradually without
sudden shock to the feelings, passions or pref
udices of the people. Lord Clarendon in his
reply fully admitted that the Chinese were en-
titled to torbearance from foreign nations, and
assured Mr.. Burlngame that England did not
desire or intend to apply an untriendly press
ure in order to induce China to advance more
RAPIDLY in her intercourse with foreign nations
than was consistent with the safety and feeling
OF the Chinese people. The following articles
were then agreed to before Lord Clarendon
and Mr.. Burlingame: First, that it was neces-
sary to observe the existing treaty stipulations =
second, that all negotiations should be conduct
ed with the central government and not with
local authorities; third, that before the inaug-
uration of war disputes should be referred to
the home government,
Lord Clarendon has issued instructions TO
the British agents in China to act in accord
ance with the spirit and with the objects above
explained, and to caution British subjects to
pay due respect not only to the laws of China
but to respect the usages and feelings of the
Chinese people.
These points settled, the general principles
OF the American treaty were discussed. Lord
Clarendon considered them kindly and agreed
that they should form the subject for future
negotiation. Having established the basis for
the British policy, Mr.. Buringame proceeds to
Paris tomorrow and returns to England OH
the re-assembling of Parliament to conclude
details according to the principles agreed upon
and to complete the object of his mission.

FEMALES, owing to the peculiar and important
relations which they sustain their peculiar organza-
ton, and the offices they perform, are subject to
many suffsrings. Freedom from these contribute in
no small degree to their happiness and welfare, for
none can be happy who are ill. Not only So but no
one OF these various female complaints can long be
suffered to run on without involving the general
health ofthe individual and are long producing per-
manent sickness and premature decline. Nor is 1t
pleasant to consult physician for the relief OF these
various delicate affections, and only upon the most
urgent necessity will true woman so far sacrifice
her greatest charm to do this The sex will then
thank us for placing in their hands simple specifics
which will be found ecacIous in relieving and cur
