AN exchange speaks of church goers
as follows:
Some go to church for a walk,
Some go 10 church for a talk.
Some GO there to gam friend,
Some 20 there their faults to mend,
Some go there TO see the fashions.
Some 60 there to calm their passions,

Some 20 there their faults to cover,
Some go there 10 doze and nod,
And some go ,sere TO worship God.

PARENTS EATING THEIR CHILDREN.

The owner of the wigwam returned one
evening in January, after an unsuccessful hunt
of two days, and found that one of his children
had been killed by the squaw, and the. family
were then satisfying their hunger with part OF
the flesh, which had been half cooked in a ket-
tie The old Indian, without asking any ques-
tons. joined with the rest in the horrid repast,
and satisfied his appetite also. The family liv-
ed for three days on the body of the child, and
when it was totally consumed. the Indian start
cd out to hunt, but was unsuccessful On re-
turning to the camp he drove his tomahawk
through the skull of another child, and without
ceremony, the squaw proceeded to boil suffi-
cient quantity of the flesh for meal.

RIGHT.--The Golden Age, Theodore Tilton's
paper, although one of the most radical of
Radical journals, pays no attention to the par
ty lash, and sails into Grant on general prin-
ciples. In the issue of March 3Oth we find the
following:
investigations are the order Of the day But
from the way some of the Committees packed,
and the exquisite caution with which they proceed,
and the wonderful they take to conceal what it
might damage the Administration to have divuged,
it would seem that what is most needed to-day is
an investigation of the Investigators"
This is rather rough lick at the Senate
Committee appointed to investigate into the
alleged sales OF arms to the French. 1t is
notorious fact that whenever any matter is
sought to be investigated which if thoroughly
ventilated would damage Grant in any way,
the committee is always packed by the selec-
ton of members who will go to any lengths to
suppress the real facts, in order to shield
the Administration. An investigation of the
investigators is good idea, if it could emily
be carried out. 1t would reveal more corrup-
ton and scoundrelism than ordinary mortals
dream Of The motives which prompt set of
periured scoundrels to suppress the true facts
connecting Grant with all sorts of corrupt
jobs would be revealed, and the people would
stand aghast at the corruption which exists in
every department of the government, and at
the treachery of their public servants.

SELLING DIpLoMAs.-It is charged that the
Philadelphia University of Medicine and Sur
gerry and the American University and Eclectic
Medical College, have been engaged in selling
diplomas. A committee was appointed in the
Pennsylvania Legislature to investigate the
matter, and at the last meeting of the commit
tee in Philadelphia, it is stated that sufficient
number of cases of traffic in diplomas was
unearthed and brought to light to justify re-
vocation of their charters. The practice of
selling diplomas by these institutions, to char
latans and quacks, has frequently been charged,
and if sufficient evidence as is stated, has been
procured to place the matter beyond question,
the charters of such medical institutions should
be Immediately revoked, and the parties who
have been guilty of granting diplomas to per-
sons not qualified as surgeons or medical prac-
titioners, should be dealt with to the extreme
limit of the law. Granting licenses to quacks,
authorizing them to poison people who place
confidence in their skill as physicians, from
the fact OF their having diplomas from medical
colleges, is an offense Of about as hlgn'grade
as murder, and should be, BY the law, punished
a. such.

A TERRIBLE ALTERNATIVE.

After three days hunt he returned to the
camp, and the boy, who saw bis father had no
provisions with him, at once made up his mind
that he or the old man had to die. Without
waiting to discuss the question with his parent
he sent a rifle bullet through his heart, and
before the blood had time to cool, he was as
suaging his terrible hunger with pieces of his
fathers flesh. He remained in the camp as
long as the provision lasted, and then he made
his way to the shanty, where be related in q
mixture of broken French and Indian the
facts which we give above. The men could
not believe the horrible tale till the young Indi-
an had confessed it to the priest, who resided
at station several miles down the river.
He also confessed that on one other occas-
ion, his sister, a year younger than himself,
had been killed and eaten year previous,
when they had not any game for several days.
THE ONLY SURVIVOR OF A FAMILY.
A halfbreed fur trader named Simpson, who
resides ut Fort Timiscomanque often asserted
that on one occasion, while buying fur at an
Indian camp, he asked for something to eat,
and was told to help himself from an iron pot
that was on the fire. He stirred up the mess
which it contained, and nearly tainted with
horror when he fished up human hand from
the bottom.
An Indian with an unpronouncable name,
who camps by himself near the Obitteebee
lake, is known and spoken of as the only sur
viving member of family of cannbals, and
he is Stunned and feared by other members of
the tribe.
EHow THE cANNIBALs LIVE.
The Obitteebee Indians are described as be-
ing tall and stoutly built, with a very forbidding
cast of countenance. the squaws being posi-
lively repusive in their appearance. They
are lazy and filthy in their habits, make no at.
tempt at tilling the soil. and live entirely by
hunting and trapping. They sometimes en-.
gage as axmen in the shanties, but seldom re-
main long, as they will not work constantly,

THE WIFE SACRIFICED TO HUNGER.

The weather grew colder, with more snow,
and it was impossible for the Indian to go on
another hunt He singed the HAIR off some
dry beaver skins, and they managed to keep
alive until this supply failed. Then, one day,
when savage with hunger, without warning,
he tomahawked the squaw, and he and the
boy fed off the carcass for several days In
the meantime the weather cleared up, and the
Indian started in the direction of moose
park, several miles from the camp, to try and
secure some game; but the snow though deep,
was light, and he could not get within rife
shot of the deer.

ALUMBERsrAN's STORY.

This winter, however, Mr.. Wright, lum-
herman, living near Ottawa. had a lumber
shanty on one of the tributaries of the Obit-
teebee lake, within days travel of Fort Tim
iscomanque, one of the Hudson Bay trading
posts, and while on visit to his limits, from
which he has returned. he ascertaned the fol-
lowing facts: A camp of Obitteebee Indians
was established about ten miles from Mr.
Wrights shanty early in the winter, and the
squaw, with her children-the Oldest boy
about Ii years of age-came occasionally to
the shanty to trade off fur with the foreman
for grease and flour. Provisions were scarce
at the shanty, as supplies had to be brought
such long distance, and he had to forbid the
Indians from coming around the place. AS the
winter advanced the snow became deep, and
game was so scarce that the Indian camp was
sometimes without food for two days at time
Hares, that had been plentiful other years. had
been decimated by disease that had attacked
them during the summer, and the Indians were
reduced to Il state of starvation.
The Idaho world. [volume] (Idaho City, Idaho Territory) 1864-1918, 1872-04-18
NUMBER %.

and it is as hard to feed one of them as it is
to keep six white men. The squaws and chill
dren are clothed with sort of blanket which
they make from hare skins, cut into strips,
plated and stitched together in the required
shape. Their dwellings in winter are COM
posed of poles, which are stacked in the form
of tent, and covered with birch bark and
moss, fire being built inside the centre, from
which the smoke finds its escape through o
hole in the top of the wgwam. As long as
game is plentiful, the Indians remain in the
same camp; but if moose is killed at any
considerable distance, the camp is moved to
that vicinity. and the owners remain there as
long as they find enough to eat
The above is the substance of what Mr..
Wright heard from his men and from Hudson
Bay fur traders who have been dealing with
this extraordinary tribe of Indians, and as in
credible as the statement appears to be he
says there are dozens of shantymen at the
head waters of the Ottawa who are willing to
testify to the truth of it. The exploratory
survey of the route of the proposed Canada
Pacific Railroad will pass through the section
of country occupied by the Obitteebees, and
in another year, or probably in few months,
something more will be known of the manners
and customs of these extraordinary Indians.

THE AGE OF THE WoRLD.-"Soldiers rec
ollect that from the heights of these pyramids
forty centuries look down upon you," said Ma
pOeOn to the army which he led into Egypt.
Was the great Captain historically correct?
Did he use a pardonable exaggeration, or did
his figures fall short of the truth2 He had
certainly wandered a little even from the chro.
nology of Rollin. That writer, whose author
ity was accepted till a late epoch placed the
first historical date 2,188 years, and the
construction of the pyramids 1000 years be-
fore the Christian year. This would give them
a little less than thirty centuries. But later
researches in the twin sciences of archaeology
and Egyptology have pretty nearly over thrown
Rollins crude calculations, and most modern
authorities are disposed to assign much great
err age to the world. On that subject NJ. Jules
Oppert is about to publish work which must
attract attention. NJ. Oppert recalls that there
were among the Egyptians measures of time,
or cycles, of 1,460 years each, of which the
last ended in 139 A. d. Tracing these peri
DDS back it will be found that one began in the
year IL SAP B. G.. Among the Assyr ans like
wise our author claims to have discovered anal
ogous cycles of 1905 years, the last of which
terminated 712 B. C. Counting these periods
back in the same manner it will be found that
one of them also begins at the date Ii ,532 B.
G. From this coincidence. M. Oppert infers
that the year 1l,542 marks the beginning of
reckoning time among the two Oldest people,
and consequently the beginning of the histor-
cal era. He also finds this conjecture support
ed by some considerations based on the Chal-
daic chronology, which placed $4,000 years be-
tween the historical period and the Deluge. If
equal credence be given to the entire system
of the Chaldeans, which 1 do not understand
M. Oppert to affirm, there must be added the
trfing period of $4,000 years between the
origin of the human species and the Deluge.
making total of 4S2, $40 years for the age of
the globe and its inhabitants.

OTTAWA March 2lst.-The most astonishing
stories of cannlbalism at the head waters Of
the Ottawa were related to me this afternoon
by man whose respectability and veracity are
undoubted. For several years past numbering
operations have been Conducted in the Ottawa
valley with unrlvalled enterprise and success,
the pine trees being more Scarce each succeed
ing season, until at length the lumberers have
pushed their way to the head waters of the
Ottawa and it's tributaries in search of good
timber limits. According as they receded from
civilization and carried their operations further
north, they began to get more thorough
knowledge of the Indians of the upper Ottawa,
and from time to time incredible tales of the
tribes to the northwest of Lake Timiscomanque
were related by adventurous lumberers and
fur traders Many of these stories were dis
believed and looked upon as shantymen's yarns
without foundation of truth in them. Espe-
cially has it been the case when on two or three
occasions it was asserted that among the Obit-
teebee Indians, portion of the Algonquin In
dlans, were to be found cannibals who occa-
sionally, when pressed by hunger satisfied their
appetites by killing and eating some of the
younger members of their families These
horrible stories gained no credence, as it had
never been established as fact that any of the
tribes of North American Indians were cann-
balls.
