number Of the whites, and their wigwans, which

they reached Soak City, they no,ehed all the
people they saw on a stick, and counted the
houses which they saw. But when they got 10

could not count them. and 50 with the wigwams !;

we're eOofouoded with the number Of whites and

then. All they could DO, Two Bears said, was
to tell their people that the whites were as M

Father de SmeI said that the surprise Of Two
Bears reminded him that many years ago be Wis

The occasion of the council being called to-
gether was this: Ons Of their chiefs had been
sent to Washington TO see the Great Father.

some account Of what be saw. His statement Of
the numbers Of the whites which he said be had

eouutryuen that they refused to believe him. aud

de Snet, and knowing the regard they had for
the Black Gown. be had the council called to-
gether in order to vindjcate his character for
truth and veraeity. The assembled chiefs asked
Esther de Smet in regard to the matter. He
told them that if they would start at sunrise and

There are some features IN the dress of the

The virginius Question.


There seems to be a reasonable probabili-
ty Of the carrying out in good faith by the
Spanish authorities in Havana Of the terms
of the protocol agreed upon by Secretary
Fish and Admiral Polo. 1t Is understood
that the Yirgiaius and the survivors of her
passengers and crew will be surrendered to
the United States on or before December
18th, the delivery to be made in each case
to war vessel of the United States.
Rear Admiral Scott will probably receive
the Virginius at Havana, the Worcester,
his flagship, going thither for that purpose,
unless he should previously transfer his
flag to the Colorado, which Is ready to sail
from New York for Key West. Cominan-
der Braine, who now has the Juniata at
Santiago, will probably receive the survi-
vors at that port. The fact that the
Captain General has caused the announce
ment to be made from Havana that he
does not now intend to leave that city or
turn over his authority to his subordinate,
is interpreted as an indication that the
Spanish authority in Cuba isstrong enough
to successfully carry out the terms Of the
protocol The foregoing presents the case
as it looks now but people liable to be
blown about by the fury of popular clamor
are always uncertain.

School TEACHERS AND CORPORAL
PUNIsHMENT-Judge Dean, of Blair CO.,
Pennsylvania, in the trial Of case Of as
sault and battery, in which the school
teacher was the defendant, made some re-
marks upon the subject Of corporal pun
ishment in schools, in which he said -
"Any teacher who is so forgetful of the
duties of his high calling, or the far-reach-
ing consequences of hisActs, as to mali
ciously or cruelty beat pupil, should,
without faltering or without hesitation on
your part, be convicted of assault and bat
terry. On the other hand, il is of the
greatest moment that our teachers in our
public schools be encouraged and sustained
in every proper exercise of their authority.
The very existence of these institutions
depends on sustaining the teacher in his
authority, when properly exercised, in the
school-room. If the teacher be stripped
of his authority to enforce attention, or to
prohibit disorder in the school-room, by
unfounded and trivial prosecutions, the end
of the system for good is very near at
hand rebellion and contumacy on the
part of the pupils will become chronic the
teacher, instead of training youth, will be
engaged in continued contests to maintain
his authority"

by MIR. Stephens, of Georgia, who held
that Congressman had a perfect right to
regulate their salaries, and to vote them

soundly berated the newspapers for their
