Buckskin Joe in Chicago.

We were favored this morning with visit from celebrated Indian scout by the name of Buckskin Joer Joe is fresh from the plains-is dressed in a suit of ornamented buckskin, and Is apparently as mild man. nered man as ever scuttled ship or scalped an Indian. Joe brings with him iorty-one ,calps as trophies of his peculiar merit, and these he is taking to his father, whom he left fifteen years ago for life on the frontier They will be nice things for the babies to play with, Joe thinks.
 The estimate of the Indian Character held by Joe is little at variance with that set down in the dictionary He as the In Ian is a gentle, inotfensive. amiable, and harmless creature--p particularly after he has been brought under the sight of Joe's rifle at two hundred wards. He says this process changes the whole character of wild Indian in the twinkling of an eye, and it is chiefly after this transformation that he begins to respect and love him. He says it Is perfectly won derul. the difference there is between the scalped and unscalped Indian; and he recon mends. in language a little more remarkable for force than elegance, that the government should send to tine border regiment-nol ol soldiers-Joe has a great contempt for thes' nor of Quakers-Joe has little faith m the efficacy of prayeTS-but or shaIpsloo'eie ] like himself, who will bring home for tho
 babies" to play with, such evidences Of then 1 good works as the forty-one scalpS exhibited in token of the saving efficacy of powder. Of course we don't endorse Joe's views
 but we respect them. Joe knows what he i, talking about; and that is what the philsn
 throphists do not.-Cicago Post.
