The only one l have ever met with,
differing essentially from the common
herd was the horned rattlesnake Of the
great American Desert, a little lazy
fellow about twenty inches long, with
two small e1cresce nces over the eyes

rattle, he seldom gives warning, and,
will snap viciously at anything crossing
his path. usually with fatal effect. He
is singular in his movements, going back

usual course of locomotion, pursued by
his relatives. but is not as fond of NOV

worry the pale faces sent to talk peace
and make a show of war in presence of
their lava beds. The appearances would
seem to justify the opinion that Jack had
quietly withdrawn his warriors and left
Candy and the Peace Commissioners
nobody to negotiate with or fight. Next
time Uncle Sam has trouble with any
tribe of Indians it is to be hoped that he
will either conduct his negotiations solely
by Peace Commissioners or his war
