Impostors andl thoir ReIios.

Religion aud imposture ought to
be as vide apart as truth and er-
ror, but a Hungarian Roman Cath
Olic clergyman, at present in Rome,
writes a curious account Of a visit
he paid to the church of st. Angus
tin in that city; "After walking
for half an hour" says the writer,
Through streets ugler and dirti
er than any that could be found in
our small Hungarian towns, /
reached at last the church of st,
Augustine. When ! entered, there
appeared to be no one in the build
ing, but an old bare footed sacris-
tan soon appeared and offered (of
course for a small consideration J
to let me see the marvellous relics
the church possessed. Having
conducted me into the sacristy he
showed me, on a rich velvet cush-
ion, enclosed in a small glass case,
the cord with which Judas Iscaliotl
had hanged himself. My cicerone
maintained the relic to be authen- !
tic, and could not hurt his feel
ings by an expression Of doubt
Another glass contains a wing OF
the Archangel Gabriel. ! learned
on inquiry that Pope Gregory VII.
had obtained this gift from the an
gel by his prayers, and my guide
informed me, with look of deep
significance, that he knew a pious
man the possessor Of feather
from this angelic wing, who would
be happy to dispose Of it in favor
of another dcyout man. As did
not take the hint, we continued our
examination Of the reliquary. /
was next shown the comb of the
cock that crowed when Peter de-
MED his Master, then the staff
with which Moses divided the wa
ters of the Red Sea, and afterwards
the beard Of Noah. My cicerone
took care to inform me, every now
and again, that in consideration Of
my being a 'pious man. | could
obtain n small portion of these in
valuable relics at q very modcr-
ate price"

especially subject, it is superseding
every other stinulant. In all eli
mates, tropical, temperate or frigld,
it acts as specific in every species

THE PLAINS,
THE NEW INDIAN GOVERNMENT.

THE NEW INDIAN GOVERNMENT.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Reports just re-
ceived from the Indian Territory show that
the Ockmulgee Council, convened under the
treaty of 1866, is rapidly perfecting salts
factory organization for the Indian nations
living in the territory west of Arkansas.
Twelve nations are represented, the principal
of whom are the Cherokees, Choctaws,
Chickasaws, and Osages. The Creeks have
not sent delegates
These delegates, ffty.three in number, re-
present population of about Al 900, while
the total civilized population is not less than
$4,000. The nomadic tribes not represented,
but living within the boundaries, number
about 5000 souls. The Council have agreed
to form sort of Federal Government, in
which all the tribes shall be represented
Commissioner Parker, in addressing the
Council, said that it was the wish of the Gov
ernment that they should form protective
confederacy, republican in character, for the
government of the tribes within the Indian
Territory.
A United States Court would be established
among them, and it was expected that dele
gate would be admitted to Congress. A re-
solution was passed inviting the Plain tribes,
the Cheyennes, Arapahoes, Kiowas, etc., to
join in the proposed federation, and urging
them strongly to remain at peace with the
whites. The council was at work, at date of
last dispatches, preparing constitution, and
in spite of some differences, the Cherokees
having in part withdrawn, the proceedings
are entirely satisfactory.
