DEAR SlK-It is with pleasure that express the
entire satisfaction which your apparatus placed in
my Oil Works on Bienville street, since five weeks,
have given me.
Here enclosed you will find detailed report
which will show YOU the economy which results
from the use Of your gas.
have been able to ascertain with correctness
saving OF sixty-One and three-quartcrs per cent on
my gas bills paid to the New Orleans Gas Company
during last winter.
1t is but fair to observe that some of my pipes,
which were placed several years ago. too
small, and, notwithstanding this defect, the light
all over my works is as bright and brilliant as
heretofore. Considering the EARRING caused by the
working of the machines night and day, and the
immense length of the gas pipes, consider the re
suits obtained more than satisfactory.
Believe me- dear sir, your obedient servant,
]. ALDIGE
During the month of December 1869, twenty-four
sasburners were used; twenty-three nights OF work
constituted that month and the New Orleans Gas
Company's bill amounted to $50 go. My oil works
actually using twentysix burners therefore
if that number had been in use last December the
New Orleans Gas Company's bill would have been
$98 Is instead Of $50 60.
From Monday, November IA, to Monday, Novem-
Der II, say six regular working nights, twenty eight
gallons Of oil were used in the Barbarin apparatus
% gallsns at 35c, So 80 to-wt per night 81 $685.
Tweuty-three nights would therefore cost $37 Sc,
and consequently constitute saving of $50 50 on
the New Orleans Gas Company's bill paid in De.
cember, 1869.
If on 500 Is there is an economy of $50 So s 100
will produce $6l 70 OF 81 per cent.

THE PIEGAN MASSACRE.

1t will add nothing to the reputation OF
General Sheridan, nor alter the opinion of
the American people as to the barbarity of
the massacre of the Piegan Indians in
which women and children We're victims,
that he has endorsed the work of Colonel
Baker. 1t may be that Colonel Baker and
his command encountered the hardship OF
the march with fortitude, and display
ed soldierly energy and activity in surpris-
ing the Indians in their encampment. but
the slaughter of defenseless women and
children is something at which humanity
revolts and for which no good qualities OF
commander or soldiers can atone. Bray
cry and fortitude are admirable traits in a
soldier, but neither is more necessary to
make perfect character than humanity.
1t was one of the noblest characteristics
of Washington that he was as gentle and
humane as brave. Cruelty disgraees the
soldier, no matter how meritorious he
may be in other respects. -'
We imagine. however. and we believe

The Oldtown election was quite an exciting
one. The principal question at issue was
whether the sale of liquor should be prohibited
or the present do-nothing policy continued.
Fortunately for the good name of Oldtown the
prohibitionists prevailed and anti-free rum
men elected. Unfortunately, however, some
of the defeated partisans got up too much steam
and became .quarrelsome. In fracas at the
Wadleigh House between James Burnham
and Ivan" Sawyer, Charles Burnhanl, an
outsider, was stabbed by his brother James,
while attempting to quell the disturbance. He
was stabbed twice in the arm and shoulder,
but fortunately the wounds were not danger
Gus. 1t was rum that did it.

it is the opinion of those best informed
upon the matter, that the primary cause
of the Indian massacres with which our
annals are disgraced, rests upon other par
ties than those who appear prominent
when the blow falls and the bloody work
is done 1t is probably 50 in the case now
presented to us. in which one of our BRAY
est and best soldiers and officers appears
as IL responsible party. Wrongs and out
RACES are perpetrated upon the Indians by
civilian whites, traders, spectators.
agents, unprincipled men. until goaded
to desperation by their injuries, the red
men rise in vengeance, and carry the
scalping knife, desolation and extermina-
ton into the nearest white settlements.
Then comes the cry for retaliation from
the suffering whites, followed by barbar-
GUS destruction of men, women and chill
dren of the offending race, by sodiery
whose hearts have been steeled against
mercy through the tales of Indian barbar-
ity. to which they have listened, and our
national history is stained with such rec
ords of cruelty as this Piegan massacre.
We had hoped that the policy of peace
and fair dealing which the administration
has been attempting to carry out with
| the Indians would be successful. and that
we had heard the last of Indian massa-
cres, and should soon see the red man put
in the way to become civilized being in
stead of continuing an object of wrath and
determination. In order to accomplish
this the first step is to prevent the merce-
nary schemes of the wrctchcs who prey
upon the Indians and provoke them to kill
and plumber, and good results will follow.
But rs long as the Indian is the victim OF
degraded. avaricious, dishonest, white
men nothing less than a repetition of the
old story Of slaughter can be expected.
