What is to become of Lo the
poor indiana Congress pro-
poses to put q territorial gov
eminent over the country of
the civilized Indians. but it
meets with opposition from
Pitchlyn. the Choctaw chief
1t would undoubtedly be a vio-
lation of old treaty stipulations
and ought not, therefore, to be
done without the assent of the
Indians. But this assent should
be given-and given now as
well as at any future time
They ought to see by this time
that to preserve Indian nations
of any consequence here is an
impossibility.
At the close of the late great
rebellion the Government
would have had a good excuse
to disregard old treaties, for
all the Indians but the Chero-
KEGS joined the rebellion, and
these latter are hardly to be
considered Indians--their white
blood largely predominating.
Whether or not it may be right
or wrong, we know that the
Indian country will shortly be
settled by the whites, and the
Indians had better consent
with a good grace.

SELF-RELIANCE.-The success
Of individualsin life is greater ow
ing to their early learning to de-
pend upon their own resousces.
Money, or the expectation of it by
inheritance, has ruined more m en-
than the want of it ever did.
Teach young men to rely upon
their own efforts, to be frugal and
Industrious, and you have furnish
ed them with a productive capital
which no man can ever wrest
from them.

SIGNS.-When you see the sun
rising before you get out of bed,
it is sign that you wouldn't do
farmer.
When You see man yawn and
close his eyes during the sermon,
it is a sign that he is getting
sleepy.
When you see a man trying to
convince a lamp post that it is i'm
polite to try to get in the way of
a gentleman, it is a sign that he
has been drinking-lemonade per-
haps.
When you see boy throwing
stones on the streets and speaking
impudently to old people, it is a
sign that his parents don't care
much for him.
When you see girl throwing
kisses and winking at the boys as
they pass her window, it is a sign
that she is too young to be out of
sight of her paternal relative.
When you see young gentlemen
and ladies whispering and Cycling
and writing notes in church, it is
a sign that the man who teaches
good manners omitted to give
them a call when he came along
the last time.

Dominica is still troubling
the councils Of the nation. A
new plan is hit on to annex it,
viz, by ajoint resolution Of both
houses of Congress, as Texas
was admitted. What will be

Radicals advocate the Domini-
can annexation, while as many
oppose it, but desire ON the con-
trary the conquest of Cuba.

IRISH pOTATOES.-We are
acquainted with two citizens of
our parish who have, for the
last ten years, raised their own
seed Irish potatoes. They suf-
fer the .potatoe to lie where it
grew until the fall, and then
dig.
One embanks as sweet pota-
toes, the other simply puts them
up in barrels or bins. Now,
would it not be a great saving
to raise ones own seed and
thereby be able to plant more
extensively? These gentle
men aver to us that their pota-
toes have not deteriorated, as
our people supposed they
would do, if continually raised
from seed produced here.

There is a railroad projected
from Alexandria to Shreveport
with a fair probability of being
built within a few years. There
should be a continuation of this
road up the river at least to
the ChOctaw line, in order to
connect the whole Red River
country by rail. Under the
present condition of the river,
such a road is much needed
and would be very profitable.

out, will rot out in a few years,
so that water communication
can be had, would the road then

Yerger escaped from Jail this morn

day brought before the court to argue
an application for habeas corpus. Nhe
case was postponed till the second
Monday in April. A bill was yes.er-

stricting the powers in application for
writs, and the bill will probably pass
before the time set for Yerger's trial,
hence Yerger's escape. The sheriff
