A Sickening Sight.

The horrors of military prisons have been descanted upon until mention of the names of Libby, Andersonville, Camps Douglass and Chase have unstrung the nerves of tender hearted people and fired the hearts of men of iron nerve, yet, since the days of sectional cruelty, scenes have been enacted in the Ind ian country, parallels to which, cannot be found in the history of the late war between the sections, one of which was the horrid scenes enacted at Fort Sill, in the Indian Ter ritory, where, at council between Quaker agents and Kiowa Indians, several white fe- males, captives of the savages, were brought into that post, lashed upon the backs of !nd- ian ponies, with strips of raw-hide, which strips were drawn so tightly around the na- ked bodies and limbs of the poor women as to cut into their flesh, and this torture lasted nearly all of one day, in the open air, under fierce sun, in the presence of numerous sol diers and several officers, most of whom boiled over with rage at being compelled to witness such a scene.
 Finally, sufficient money to ransom the poor, suffering white ladies was raised, and the Indians, the Quaker agent and the com manding officer permitted the poor creatures to be unbound.
 Brave men, we are told, were there, but the fear of being charged with mutiny kept them from performing the acts which no hu- mane man should have shrunk from, no matter what punishment might have followed.
 Tn our own unfortunate Territory, men women and children have been roasted to death impaed upon thorny plants and trees, but the Fort Sill affair is one of the most horrid we have ever heard described.

 After this; after the "peace" fascos in Texas, New Mexico and in our own bleeding Territory, insult not the intelligence of the American people by telling them that the Peace policy and Peace commissioners have performed wonders in the way of pacifying and civilizing race of savages whose very dreams are disturbed by their evil propensity to slay white men and steal or destroy their property.
 But, the farce is now likely to come to an end, sooner than we have dared to hope, for, even Quaker agents are crying out for sol diers to chastise unruly Indians.

The Ball Opened in Montana

Peace has had her victories, but peace has never yet, to our knowledge, secured victory over uncivilized Indians, and all the efforts of her self-constituted commissioners, among the red men, have ended in smoke, robbery and slaughter.
 The latest case of this kind comes from Montana, where, but short time ago, hun dreds of thousands of dollars were layished upon Indians, and peace commissioners made themselves sick smoking killickinick out of strong pipes, in vain attempts to befog the red man, so that he might be unable or un- willing to follow the trail to his Fate-exter- mination. Five hundred thousand dollars vere set apart for the Teton Sioux, and a commission of white persons high in authority ;n the Government and of fair standing in tbe Republic, talked "Great Father" Chris tianity. &c.. to the petri6ed savages until, exhansted with such efforts, they returned tc Washington to report the good results o1 their visitn to President who claims to bs the father of the present well-known lndiar lsnghing stock policy. aa&

kelIer,s sDarrOws.

The motion was made. near tw elve wears
ago, to import sparrows to this city and put
them in our public squares, to rid the trees
and shrubbery OF insects. The plan was
never carried out. Mr.. Joseph II. Keller
the enterprising gentleman who has built
up a small town about him out of the
swamp mud has imported number, say
about one hundred sparrows. which he in
tends for the city. if required. They are
bright little skipabouts, and are the sur
yivors of at least two hundred of their COM
panons who died on the voyage out. Mr..
Keller has built upon the grounds of his
house, near the Keller Market, a large
shaped like pineapple. the cone rising
from cubcal base. Tie sides
are wire. double door leads IN or out.
Here the sparrows are all collected, and
happy as could be expected, and are lively
as well as comfortable. They are fed upon
weeds and grasses. and it is intended TO
keep them in this large cage until they sinai!
be acclimated. when they can be OF service.
With such sparrows in our public squares
and parks, the loathsome insects and other
yermin would not now infest these lungs
Of the city" The sparrows will easily
make their home wherever they are placed,
and with this object have been imported

A Washington special to the Cincinnati
GG-ette says:
The friends of Minister Marsh have been
looking into the grounds of complaints
against him on account of his dispatch con-
tanning severe reelection sagainst the 1tal-
ian government. 1t now appears that Mr..
Marsh took special precautions to have
what he had written kept secret. except
from those having the closest confidence of
the State Department, and to attain this
end transmitted his entire dispatch in the
cipher of the State Department. After it
had been translated for the secretary's Pc
rusal il was allowed by some unexplained
careessness to find its way into the letters
copied for publication in the annual report
of correspondence sent to Congress. Mr..
Marsh's friends are claiming that since he
was only discharging his plain duty in ac-
auainting the secretary with the real con-
dition of affairs, and that on his part every
possible precaution was taken to prevent
the contents of the dispatch from becoming
generally known; that if the Italian govern
ment insists upon his recall it will be only
