The MOdOc Treachery.
What Q Son Of one of the Murdered me z -F+ -r.~ has to say. EA

|E 7EFe- 5s~ mas 10 say
 E. c. Thomas, a son of Rev. E. Thomas, one of the Peace Commission murdered by the Modocs, has written to friend, in which he says: eff the severest punishment be visited upon the hostile Indians, let peace and justice and security be still sought for others. Fathers heart was in the cause in which he gave his life, and the cause is worthy and must be persevered in. We suffer for the i'll deeds of our own race, and must still suffer, perhaps. But we owe it to ourselves and to the Indians to persevere. I hope you are with me still in this. 1 hope Gen. Grant is. The Indians must know our power, and that our mercy is not cowardice-th must know our word is true. I speak for myself, and I hope I may be en- titled to some consideration. am not asking for false mercy, or that the frontiersman be exposed to any avoid able risk of life and property.
 The Indians are what they are, be- ieve, because the whites with whom they are in contact have been what they have been. We are to blame; not the poor Modocs; but the rapacious, law less, perfdious whites are guilty of his blood. We blame no one for his death. Now that the first shock has passed ] away, we find more to rejoice in than to 1 mourn over. He was eady-always ready. His heart was only love. How any man or beast could meet the kind smile of that face, and do the old man | harm, | cannot understand. In the | fuDness of his power, in the ripeness of his manhood, when he was living every day so near the heavenly world, and was always in near communion with the better land, God took him higher at once, painless. To few men, compara- lively, is it given to die like martyr, l and for your agency in thus securing the past of 8 glorious life in the ser vice of his Church and his fellow-men, | and insecuring the future to him and us, l I thank you. We will pluck. up our hearts, and follow on till God grants us the blessings of death. a
 This furry will soon pass over. With out saying anything now, let the Gov ernment adhere to it's grand purpose to be just and true to these children of the land. Don't let the precious blood of the dead be only the signal for an insaneS crusade for vengeance. Let it not be for war alone. They died who lived for peace. To be sure peace will come through war, but not by exter- imitation.
 Mother bears it well; so do the chil- dren. We are happy because he is happy beyond the chance of suffering. And he did suffer here, and suffering made him perfect. He was already beyond the reach of malice to anger or provoke him, but not of course, tc wound his soul. And now his cup is full of joy."

A Lot of Holidays.

For young nation, the United States are accumulating very neat little stock of anniversaries. The 17th of June, proximo, for instance, will be the two hundredth anniversary of the discovery of the Mississippi river by Marquette and Joliet. With five other Frenchmen and couple of Indians, they left Green Bay for the Southwest, ascending the Fox river to the dividing ridge between it and the Wisconsin. Their compan- ions all returned to Green Bay, but Marquette, the priest, and Joliet, the merchant, the canoes having been car ried across the ridge to the Wisconsin,
 descended that river, and on the 17th of June, 1873, they emerged from the Wis consin upon the waters of the Upper Mississippi. The St. Louis sRepu6H- can says pertinently: 'tAnd now, after . lapse of 200 years after the wilder ness they found had been converted into fields and gardens after the wig wam villages have faded away, and the shadows of mighty cities fall upon the waters of the stream they found flowing through trackless wilds, it is proposed to revive the half forgotten memories of Marquette and Joliet, and erect some suitable memorial which ehal1 preserve their fame until the latest times" And very properly. ..........,,

The Real Bob WhittIe,

One of the most eccentric of all the characters mixed up in the Modoc war is Bob Whittle, Missourian, who fol- lows the joint calling of fisherman and grazier on the banks of Klamath Lake. Bob is 8 regular specimen of an unsuc- cessfut " forty-niner, and can lie down and go to sleep with a good grace wherever night overtakes him. He is the soul of hospitality, however, and never lets a man leave his house with an empty diaphragm. About eighteen years ago, when other mon were going wild in the struggle for gold, Bob turned his back upon the fourishing little city of 4reka, and became an Ishmaelite by the borders of the great inland sea. Here he met a dusky daughter of the wilderness, and breathed gushing ac- cents of undying affection into her sum- burnt ear. t' .1 sl-E s5&%
 Bob is social fellow, and has de- cided tendency for t keerds." He came home with a new suit of clothes once, and his wife, wishing to upbraid him for his extravaganza of dress, asked:
 " What you pay for dem clothes ?"
 Four jacks, was the oracular an- swer.
 One daya fellow came out from Jack sonville to see him. The travellers wardrobe consisted of a deck of cards and fishing line. Bob treated him kindly and bade him come into the chateau and be soeiable. So at it they went to play champion match at crib bage, the best 999 games out of 1000, for dollars worth of tobacco. Weeks rolled by, in which they fished, hunted, and played cards, but Bob cnt no hay nor reaped oats. His better half, be- coming very much discouraged, walked into the room one day just in time to hear him say We'll, George, I think I've got you where the har's short-I've got fifteen two, fifteen four-' ~
 " Heep smart man," said the dusky matron with 8 smile of inefable dis gust "heep smart man. All de time talkee fifteen two, fifteenfour. Bimeby Bob Whittle he got no halo chemuck in de house." "c.s -e-s -.-1v7
 Prem that hour Bob experienced a thorough reformation. He took the source of all his misery-a big wooden crib-board- whittled handle on one end of it, so that his youngest boy could use it to paddle his little cherub sister, and he burned the deck of cards beneath the smouldering embers on the family hearthstone.

Very Much Mistaken.

"A few nights ago weH-known busi- ness man of Ottawa, Canada, indulged too iberally in the exhilarating beYer- age until late hour. About midnight he set out for home.- Instead of going to ozhis owndoor he walked confidently up to his ineighbor,a door and. pulled ths beH boldly The inmates had re- tired to rest, and some time elapsed before the door was opened the whis- kifed individual became outrageous, and began to act in most violent man. nsr.i The door was opened, and, to his horror, by a stranger. His wrath in- creased, and in less time than it takes toswrfte this he had hurled him head long out upon the street. He then locked the door and went up stairs, but nothing seemed in its proper place, and hefound progression almost impossible. He finally lit 8 match, and glance at the surroundings convinced his mud dled brain that he was not in his own house. He got out, therefore, as soon as possible, and fortunately just in time to escape a thrashing from the enraged proprietor who had effected an entrance by the back door.

The Baker Exnediti0n.

The expedition which Sir Samuel w. Baker commanded was sent out in 1870 by the Khedive of Egypt. Its purpose was threefold. It was fitted out partly to continue the explorations made in the region of the Upper Nile and Lake Albert Nyanza by Sir Samuel in 1864, when he discovered the lake named, and to bring under subjection to the Khedive the fertile lands and the bar
 barous natives of that region, and partly to take measures towards the suppress sion of the slave trade of the Upper Nile. The expedition was the most i'm posing and the grandest that had ever been undertaken for the purposes of discovery, and was amply supplied with all the necessities for such mission, including the machinery for small steamers. Owing to the great reputa- tion for courage, endurance, ndsagacity that Baker had acquired by his previous explorations in the same quarter of the globe, not to mention his superior knowledge of the lands to be visited, the Khedive selected him as the chief of the expedition. In the first year of the expedition Sir Samuel reached Con- dokoro. He made an attempt subse- quently from latitude deg. 26 min. north, to ascend the White Nile, but after cutting his way through dense masses of cane and reeds which, in the shape of floating islands, completely impeded navigation, he was obliged to return to the point whence he had started. His purpose was then to await favorable opportunity, with high water stage of the river, to force pas sage through to Lake Albert Nyanza, and thus to succeed in floating his feet of steamers on that lake, and so settle at least one purpose of the expedition, namely, the question of the true sources of the Nile. How far he has succeeded in the general plan of his expedition cannot be stated succincntly as yet. Sir Samuel was known to the Egyptians in connection with his command of the enterprise as Baker Pasha. He was a man of magnificent physique and of unusual physical strength. His height was over six feet, and he was man who, if any man could, would be most likely to command the respect and awe of the barbarians whom he necessarily en- countered. Lady Baker, whose maiden. name was Florence sSars, was 8 Hun garian by birth, and her daring and her affection led her to follow her hus- bands fortunes in all his dangerous enterprises. She accompanied him in his fofmer explorations in the Upper Nile regions and was with him in the present, his last, for it is now stated that Sir Samuel and his wife, Lady Baker, have been murdered in the in- terior of Africa by the nativesso sof that country. s s4=4 1E a Ss

WHERE OUR GoID GOES TO. Tt is estimated that fifteen per cent. of our gold product is melted down for manu- fracture, thirty five per cent. goes to Flu rope directly, twenty-five per cent. goes to Cuba, fifteen per cent. to Brazil, five per cent. to China, Japan, and India, leaving five per cent. for domestic use. Fifty per cent. of that which goes to Cuba and Brazil ultimately goes to Flu rope, from whence four-ffths of their whole supply goes to India, where it is absorbed and disappears from sight in a mysterious manner. For many years this absorption of gold, and silver as we'll, has been going on in the East In- dies and China.

Spent tan bark, perfectly dry, is able to produce 3, 400 heat-units. A twelve-horse power steam-engine consumed 28a pounds of dry bark per horse-powder per hour.

A STRANGE DEFENCE. Recently $1O,- 900 were awarded by an English jury as damages to a maiden of twenty six, against widower of forty-two, who had failed to carry out marriage contract His defence was that the promise was conditional on the acquiescence of his three eldest daughters, one of whom was eighteen years old, four brothers and sisters of his deceased wife, and his ancient maiden aunt. The jury con- sidered that any man who could be so foolish as to look for the unanimous consent of all of these parties, should pay a round sum for a little wisdom.
