know where an old philosopher dwells-
A bearded cynic Of wit and sense,
In broad white tent with curious cells,
On the sunny side of the garden fence.
He passes his days in various ease,
Watching the world with his many eyes;
And perhaps he is sorry when he sees
How his tent entangles the moths and flies.

We meet on the sidewalk every day;
He is shrewd to argue, and scheme, and plain,
Is my legal neighbor over the way;
He talks, perhaps trife too much ..
But he knows such vast deal more than /:
We have in our village dozen such,
Who do no labor-the Lord knows why. .
But they eat and drink of the very best,
And cloth they wear is soft and fine,
And they have more money than all the rest,
With handsome houses, with plate, and wine.
And ponder at times, when tired and lame,
How strangely the gifts of fortune fall; .
And wsnder If we are net to blame
Who have go little yet pay for all.
Alas, for the workers throughout the land,
Who labor and watch, but wait too long,
Who wear the vig0r of brain or hand
In trifing pleasures, in drink, in song!
But my neighbor is one who understands
All social riddles and he explains
That some must la Dor with callous ha nds,
While others may work with tongue and brains.
hough he doesn't make 1t so very clear,
= Why he should fare much better than one
Who does more work in o single year
Than he in all of his life has done!
But he argues me out of all demur,
With logic that fogs my common sense;
And think of the old philosopher
Whose ''shingle" hangs by the garden fence.

BOSTON, June 3.-The following
letter has appeared III print:
3. "KoXBURY, June I-Dear Mr. Snp,.
ner: 1 owe it to you to say, with all
the trankness which sober friendship
justities, that ! have read your
speech in sharp arraignment Of the
President, and my conviction is that
1t Is i'll judged, i'll timed. and 80 ex-
travagant III its charges, and so Bit
Ter III ITS personalities as TO neutral
we whatever ust criticism can he
found. twill assuredly serve the
purpose OF the worst toes the cause
OF impartial freedom has. VERY ma
ny OF them are now really under the
deceptive banner of Liberal Repub-
licanism but the loyal, liberty-uphold-
ing party with which you have hith-
erto been proved to be identified,
will peruse it with deep regret, if not
with unfeigned astonishment.
Certainly you do not represent
massachusetts with this sweeping
impeachment. Her Republican peo-
pie are almost unit for the re. cleo
ton OF the man you attempt to stain
with crime and cover with infamv.
You cannot separate Gen. Grant
from the party which put him in his
Presidential chair, and which means
to keep him in, if it is possible anoth-
er term, being satisfied as to his abil-
lty, integrity and patriotism. And,
therefore, in. stigmatizing him as a
venal, self-seeker and an unserupu-
lous usurper, you virtually pronounce
the party to be equally corrupt
and Enthusiastically. This you have
right to do on your own RESPONSE
billty, If you must, but in SO doing
you will find yourself in marked op-
position to the sentiment of Massa,
chusetts as its Senator in Congress,
and surrounded by allies who have
been heretofore your deadIiest enc
mics.
Occupying, as | do, an outside po-
sltlon, write this note under no party
bias, and only because feel con
strained in this manner to free my
mind as proof of my friendship. Re
ceive it IN the same spirit which has
dictated it.
Faithfully and regretfully yours,

A OUTRAGE.

Last Saturday evening. on the occa-
sion Of the Grant and Wilson ratlfica-
tion meeting at Virginia, when Mr..
Sharon arose to address tho meeting.
and at times during the progress Of his
speech. a lot Of low-minded fellows,
evidently stationed amid the crowd
for the purpose, endeavored to in
terrupt him by loud cheers and shouts
for ]. p. Jones. But Sharon would
not break nor scare worth a cen'.
lie kept right straight along, with
out paying any attention to the
foul insult. We will venture to
say that not one Of those fellows
was a Republican, or even a good
American. We also feel assured TINT
the outragewas perpetrated without
the previous knowledge or consent Of
Mr.. Jones, or any II having direction
Of his interests during his absence.
Neither could these foolish fellows
have been true friends Of Mr. Jones,
or As such. gifted with common sense,
or they would have realized the fact
that such acts only rscoll injuriously
upon their perpetrators, or upon the
object Intended to be accomplished or
forwarded. Reflective people also are
apt to consider whether such men are
a fair specimen Of the supporters Of
Jones. II so, the substantial, respect
able voters will naturally shrink from
such companlonshlp or influences.

A special correspondent Of the Jour-

Of June LIST that the Sioux Indians are
on the war-path. There Is now .
camp Of three hundred and sixty-ive
lodges rendezvoused within ten miles
Of Fort Berthold, and their numbers
are daily increasing. 1t is said to be
the Intention OF the party TO attack
Berthold as soon a. they IAN muster
two thousand warriors. There seems
to be q universal spirit OF hostility
among all the Sioux Indians on the
Upper Missouri. The chief OF the band
now near Berthold made q speech on
the 9th ult. TO his hostile braves, tell
Ing them that war has been declared,
and that every one Of the Sioux chiefs
would stand by the decision OF the
council that made the declaration. He
said that Fort Berthold would be the
scene Of the opening Of hostilities and
Fort Beaufort would next receive at

INDIAN CHILD KILLED,

The Truckee Republican Of Saturday
says: An Indian child, about eight
years old, was run over by freight cars
yesterday afternoon near the freight
depot. and instantly killed. Yard
master Clark was making up a train of
freight cars ut the time. and supposss
the child was riding on a platform car
from which it fell accidentally under
the wheels, which passed over Its body.
Death must have been instantaneous.
Immediately after the accident half a
dozen squaws set up a terrible howl
Ing, and when DR.. Curless attempted
to examine the body they pelted him
with sticks and stones, compelling him
to beat a hasty retreat. These Indians
are an annoyance and a nuisance about
the railroad. The policy Of the rail-
road company is, II ANYTHING, too in
dulgent. They are ''dead-headed" all
over the line on account Of their being
natives and indigenous to the soil.
These Indians should hc collected on
some reservation aud cared for by the
Government.
