THs INDIAN DIFFIcULrIEs.-The latest dis
patches to Gen. Sherman from Gems Sheri-
dan and Augur, indicate that the threatened
Indian war will be averted, especially if Red
Cloud, the great war chief of the Sioux, is
satisfactorily trelted during his visit to civ
ilization, and has an agreeable q talk y with
his white father. Commissioner Parker is
also satisfied that the visit of Red Cloud and
his principal men to Washington will settle
the difficulties with the Sioux in quiet way,
and that they will be induced to go to their
new reservations, and ablndon all idea of
armed resistance Orders have Consequently
been issued from Washington to show the
visitors every attention, aud it must be the
earnest hope of everybody that their visit
will have the pacificatory result anticipated.

''In Stockton, CAL, and i'm

be had anywhere by boring
down a dozen feet with a COM

Picnic parties carry a pump
and stand, lead pipe, and an
auger, as a part of the required
articles for the day. But a
very short time is expended in
obtaining water. The fire res
ervoirs have no bottoms and
require no filling, the water
coming in freely as soon as
they are dug. 1t was necessa-
ry to change the place of burial
first selected in the town, the
water penetrating the graves
and partially filing them. Yet
there is no healthier place than
that locality in that or any
other State. An artesian well

NUMBER 6.
Miniature.

There is q species of cynicism
that assumes to be, and is COM
monty mistaken for, profound wis
dom. It is not given to much
speech. Ib baffects taciturnity. 1t
is surly, and expresses itself in
few words, which are always Bit
ter, black and ill-natuFed. 1t sell
dom laughs: it pretends to be
above such leyity. It rarely con-
deseends to the inexcusable indis-
cretion of being cheerful and
agreeable. 1t is swollen with self
consciousness. 1t never melts
with gentle and generous sympa~
thies. It will find flaw in the
best deeds. 1t will discover a hole
in the good mans coat, or, if it
fails, will pick one. 1t will de-
tect a black spot in the brightest
and happiest sky. 1t will find %
reason for unhappiness in the
midst of general rejoicings. If
some one isrising to eminence and
greatness, it will prophesy his
downfall. If the armament is
serene and the air balmy, it will
predict rain. If the earth teens
with abundance, it will-warn you
ofa short crop next year. In q
world made up of all sorts of peo-
pie, these cynics must have a
place, and few of them perhaps,
are interesting if not Instructive
as a special phase of human ma
ture. But the character is an
unlovable one. The cynic is 81
dleary, desolate, unhappy being,
and is generally the author of his
own misery. Diogenes is called
a philosopher; but in truth, he
was a brute-a shaggy, surly,
snarling animal, unfit to live in
anything better than the tub he
affected for his dwelling. There
are many persons who affect DID,
genesis coarsness, who are really
kind of heart. With these the
character is a cloak that covers
them, without totally hiding the
intrinsic generosity of their souls.
But there are others with whom
the habit is q real nature, and
these are the most unamiable per-
: sons we meet with. They spread
a chill shadow, like an eclipse,
wherever they go, that repels chill
dren, bushes the gayety of youth,
banishes the cheerful nonsense
1 with which we fill up the INTEREST,"
ces of leisrre hours hours, and fills
the atmosphere around them with
uneasiness. 1t is not possible al
ways to be cheerful and happy;
but it is duty we owe to each
other to be as cheerful and happy
as we can, and as often as we can.
There are brave and noble per-
sons who carry with them through
life an anguish at heart, who, yet,
are never weary of ministering to
the comfort and enjoyment Of
others. Their faces emit soft,
sad radiance that hides the deep,
inward sorrow, and makes their
society a. festival. These are
worth all surly and ill-natured
cynics in the world, and are wiser
than all the imitators Of Diogenes
that ever lived. Cheerfulhess is
!, the true wisdom, and boundeu
duty. The world is dark enough

The Seven Wonders.

The ancient world had its
seven wonders, which were
much talked about, and which
people travelled hundreds of
miles to see. But the seven
wonders of our time are more
useful, and quite as remarkable.
The seven wonders Of the
world were: First, the Egyp-
tian Pyramids; the largest of
these is 693 feet square and
469 feet high, and it's base COW
ers III acres of ground.
Second, the Mausoleum,
erected to Mausolus, a king of
Caria, by his widow, Artemi-
sia; it was 63 feet long and 35
feet high.
Third, the Temple of Diana
at Ephesus; this was 425 feet
in length and 22O feet in
breadth.
Fourth, the Walls andHang-
ing Gardens of Babylon; these
walls are stated by Herodotus
to have been 81 feet thick, 800
feet high, and 60 miles in
length, and the statement is
deemed credible by modern
antiquarians.
Fifth, the Colossus, at Rhodes;
this was q brazen statue of
Apollo, 105 feet in height
standing at the mouth of the
harbor ofRhodes.
Sixth, the statue of Jupiter
Olympus, at Athens, which
was made of ivory and gold,
and was wonderful forits beau
ty rather than size.
| Seventh, the Pharos of Ptol-
emy Philadelphus; this was a
lighthouse 800 feet high, on
the Island of Pharos, at Alex
andria, in Egypt; a wood fire
being kept burning on its sum-
nit during the night to guide
ships into the harbor.
The seven wonders of the
world now are: The Art OF
Printing; Optical Instruments,
such as telescope and micro
scope; Gunpewder; the Steam
Engine; Labor-saving Machin-
cry; the Electric Telegraph:
and the Photograph.

Murder.

There appears to be an in
sane craving for blood prevail
ing the whole country, and we
daily read of revolving murders
and assassinations-notin Tex
as alone, but throughout the
country. Murders are commit
ted under every possible pre-
text, or no pretext whatever.
A difference of opinion in some
trivial matter must be washed
out in blood; personal animosi-
ties, family difficulties, druken
quarrels, all call for blood; and
the red right hand of man is
ready to slay his fellow on the
slightest quibble. Wives are
widowed and children orphan
ed by the ruthless act of some
malign devil who fancies him
self injured by word, look or
deed of some present opponent
and the ready knife or six
shooter is forthwith called into
requisition, and sends the vic
tim hurriedly to his last taccount
with all his imperfections I'M
atoned.
Our enacted laws seem pow
erless to stay this heartless
massacre, and murderers roam
at large, sacrificing new vic
TINS to their Moloch of ven
geance, till they are are in turn
cut down by some avenging
Nemesis. This state of society
is terrible to contemplate, and
is getting worse instead of bet

congressman in the fall elections thus far,
completely upset the rank aud file of the

has came to their ears since the last de

amount of enthusiasm on very small

wind that bears the shouts of their oppo-
