Az attempt was made in st. Louis a
few days since to induce Spotted Tail
and other Brule chiefs to give dance
and exhibition, but the chief in a digni-
fed manner refused, saying: I'VE are
chiefs; we did not come here 10 dance
but to do business;" q retort courteous,
that stopped the proposition In a m lost
diplomatic manner. Spotted Tail is a
spiritualist, believing that spirits always
move about and that he had often
heard voices in the stiffness of the forest
from relatives who had departed" From
this it would appear that the Indians
are the original spiritualists, and not the
whites. r

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

o,;ta a difference of opinion exists
among statesmen and philosophic think
ers on the utility of capital punishment
London journal insists that it would
no difficult to prove TO what extent the
nnnishmont Of death acts as deterrent
70 would-be murderers. On the other
hand it is equally impossible to prove
that death is less deterrent penalty
than Imprisonment, and unless this fact
could he established the balance OF
argument would be immensely in favor
of retaining capital punishment. I'm
prisonment for murder does not meet
the popular idea Of justice, because there
is no difference in kind between the
treatment of murderers and the treat
ment of forgers or horse stealers.
1t should be remembered in con-
nection with this view of the
subject that very long periods Of
Imprisonment necessitate what appears
like extraordinary gentleness in the
treatment of prisoners, which generally
ends in a pardon by the Governor. Sol
itary confinement or diet OF bread
and water continued for years would be
indistinguishable from torture conse-
ouently, in addition to the shock to
popular sentiment given by seeing muir
derers imprisoned instead Of hanged,
there would be the further shock OF
knowing that they were passing their
imprisonment in what, by comparison
with the lot of many innocent persons
outside, would be considerable comfort
A more rational view Of the relation OF
insanity to crime would remove another
element of uncertainty. At present
there is an unfortunate disposition to
accept proof that a murderer was mad
upon the particular point which consti-
tuted the motive for the crime as suffi-
Gent evidence that he is mad upon all
points. The only form Of insanity which
ought to exempt man from being
hanged is the form which prevents his
knowing what the consequences of his
crime may be. A man may be mad on
fifty subjects, and yet be quite aware of
the connection between inhicting death
and suffering it; and so long as he is so
the prospect may have different effect
npon him. The theological argument
seems to us to have no weight. The form
it usually takes is that men should not
be hurried into eternity without time
being given them for repentance. IL
execution followed Immediately upon ar
rest, or even upon conviction, there
might be something in this plea. But
inasmuch as there is always an interval
of some weeks, the chances are that, if
the criminal is at all disposed to re-
pent, be has better opportunity in abe
week or two which are passed In the con-
demned cell than he would have 10 years
of imprisonment. And assuming that
the criminal does not repent the fact
that he has shown himself unmanage-
able by human laws seems to point TO
the expediency of committing him to
wiser hands than those Of human rulers.

out without mercy, and the Orders akin
to the Society of Jesus are for the
present interpreted to include only
the Redemptorist Fathers and the fol-
lowers of Liguori Then as regards the
schools, instead of various decisions of
the Provincial governments, a general
decree had gone forth from the Cultus
Minister to the intent that in all public
schools the teaching is to be taken out
of the hands of the monastic orders.
This will leave the private and primary
schools alone, and, as before, the Roman
Catholics of the poorer classes will get
good deal of their education at the
hands Of the nuns and sisters. But in
many Of the small government schools
in the smaller towns and villages it has
come to pass that in the dearth Of teach
ers recourse has been had to the services
of monks or sisters from the neighbor
ing converts; this is to be stopped wher-
ever the school is under government in
spection."

Ger, Tyudall aud Huxley. The essay is
anoay nous, but j, is prefaced by note
from Professor Tyndail and it is known
TO have been written by a man of great
eminence in his own high profession.
The author seeks to obtain an accurate
measure of the degree in which prayer
for the sick alters the rates of mortality.
he would place in particular hospital
a number of persons suffering from dis
eases which have been ascertained to
cause, on an average, atcertain number
of deaths. All believers in the efficacy Of
prayer would then be invited to beseech,
during foursor five years, the Almighty
would specially interpose in behalf OF
those patients. If the prayers were an
swered, the death.rate would of course
be less than in the hospitals that were
not so highly favored, and scientific men
would detect the influence Of spiritual
force beyond their province, and appre-
ciable by none of theii gross tests. The
distinguished author, in fact challenges
the believers in special Providence to
fight battle on the field of statistics.
