THE INDIANS.

The account we print of the brutal muir
der of General Candy and the Peace Com
missioners by Captain Jack and his Modoc
savages, shocked every person when the
news was telegraphed over the country, on
Monday last, and is bloody commentary
on our Indian policy. The policy of max
ing treaties with wild Indians is worse
than folly. They should not only be Or
dered to go onto reservations set apart for
them, but compelled to go, and when
caught staying off of them, punished by
determination. The habit of allowing
traders to sell the savages firearms and
ammunition is the worst of all. Govern
ment supplies should be confined to food
and clothing, and under no condition
should the Government distribute firearms
among the Indians as part of their an
nual contributions. To sell firearms to
them should be made capital offense, and
the trader detected in the practice should
be hanged. These simple rules would do
more to prevent Indian wars and murders
tudu all otnef IucduS yet lilou. ho
cheapest mode to civilize the continent of
America is to plant it with the white race
The civilization of the white man does not
suit the Indian. He is essentially wild
man, and will continue to be till the last
one has passed away. 1t is very certain
that our system Of civilizing him by selling
and giving him guns wall never succeed
He needs nothing better than bow and
arrows and lance to hunt the buffalo. The
rifles are used principally to shoot white
men. If the savage can ever be taught to
till the ground and rear flocks, he must be
confined to permanent home, and when
caught rambling, visited with the severest
punishment.

The burning of a dead prince in India

The burning of dead prince in India
is rather expensive. A letter in the Lon
don Times describes the combustion of His
Highness the Maharajah of Jondhpore.
The corpse was dressed in royal robes of
brocaded cloth, and decked GU. with jew
elry valued at $75,0 In front of the
funeral procession walked two elephants
laden with gold and silver coins to the
amount Disco, 800, which were scattered
at every hundred PAGES among the specta-
tors. to he scrambled for. The corpse,
shawls, and jewelry were all thrown togeth-
er upon the the burning pile. From the
day on which His Highness died, 5000
Brahmins regularly received food and a
largess of a rupee each at the palace
gates. All the inhabitants, by way of ex-
pressing their grief, shaved off their
boards, mustacbes and the hair of their
heads. The lamented Rajah left behind
him neat assortment of wives and coneu-
bines, who were, many Of them, extreme
ly dasirous to be burned with their late
lord, some because they were really griey-
ed at his loss. and others because it was
the fashionable thug to do. 1t was not
permitted, however, greatly to the disgust

THE WHITE SAVAGES.

Right on the heels of the excitement and
Indignation caused by the news of the
Modoc massacre, comes the tidings from
Louisiana of far greater massacre.
Steamboat passengers arriving at New
Orleans, from Grant Parish on the Red
river, on Tuesday last, reported the story
of blood and butchery. The affair grew
out of the chronic dissension between the
two parties claiming the control of the
State government.
The New Orleans Republican, (Rep.) OF
Friday, gives the following account of the
first collision:
son Saturday evening an attack was
made by party under command of Hadnet,
the Fusion Representative, upon the color
ed men who had assem- led at Colfax, under
who handled his force with some skill, re-
turned the fire. 1t is stated, however, that
no one was hurt. Hadnot and his party
retiring after few volleys."
The following is the report brought by
the steamboat passengers:
"The negroes had strongly entrenched
themselves in the court house and built
breastworks three or four feet high. There
were, it is said, about four hundred men
armed and equipped thoroughly.
On Sunday about noon, some $50 mon
who had gathered from the surrounding
parishes made an attack on the breast
works, and brisk fight was kept up till
about p. NJ, when the works were storm
ed and captured, the negroes taking refuge
in the courthouse, the doors of which
were barricaded. After some further fight
ing the negroes threw out a flag of truce,
and several detachments of men advanced
on it, when they were fired on by the be-
sieged party, wounding several, amongst
whom were Captain Hadnot, who was shot
in the bowls, and it is feared fatally wound
ed. The whites retreated outside of the
breastworks, and as the only means of dis
lodging the negroes the courthouse was
set on fire, and the blacks were shot as
they came from the burning building. 1t
is reported that nearly 100 negroes were kill
ed, and there were none to be found for
miles around"
The Captain says:
We saw from the boat some fifteen or
twenty lying died on the banks.
The above account is probably incorrect
in some particulars, but the horrid condi-
ton of society in that region is reflected in
the savagery that shot the fleeing negroes
as they ran from the burning building.

Life in Kansas.

Times, Farmers Department, in reply to
Mr.. Clark Irwin, of Missouri, as follows:
From Missouri hundreds came to Kan.
sas annually, and thousands from Illinois.
Indiana, and Ohio drive through that
State, Missouri, and by her orchards, and
over her cheap lands, that are taxed so
lightly, and that have so long been offered
for sale so cheaply, to get land in Kansas,
where public improvements are made and
railroads built, where land rapidly increas-
eS in value, and where orchards grow
quickly.
If they come to the newer localities like
this county, where land can be had for
$1.25 per acre, and on two and one-half
years in which to make payment, they soon
find the land around them taken. Towns
grow up in single year that afford pretty
good markets. Everything moves, and
they are pleased. Two mouths ago there
was not settler in Barbour county. To-
day there are probably 100 claims taken

rs Mr.. A. Calkins complains of having
been misrepresented in our report of the
proceedings of the School Commissioners.
The report made him say that he would
not pay his school tax if better facilities
were not furnished the neighborhood for
school, which he alleges was not so; but
what he did say to the Board was that his
neighbors said they would not pay the tax
if the School Commissioners did not pro-
vide schools for their children. There are
50 CHI ldren in that section who have no
school fit to go to nearer than Elkton which
was 3 miles away; as for his own children
he could and did teach them at home.

The Deluge Confessed.

IT is quite refreshing to find one fact
mentioned in the Bible, which the modern
men of science are willing to admit is con-
firmcd by the progress of discovery. Mr..
George Smith. of the British Museum,
makes the subjoined most interesting ac-
count o! the record OF the Deluge, which
he has lately deciphered from TIE Assy-
rian monuments
the cuneifOrm inscription which |
have recently found and translated gives
a long and full account of the Delugc. 1t
contains the version or tradition OF this
event which existed in the early Chaldean
period at the city of Erech Zone OF the
cities % Nimrod), now represented by
the ruins of Warka. In this newiy-dis-
covered inscription the account of the
Delu9e is put as a narrative into the
mouth of Xisuthrus or Noah. He relates
the wickedness of the world. the COM
mand to build the ark, its building, the
filling of it. the Deluge, the resting of
the ark on mountain. the sending out of
the birds. and other matters. The MARIA
tive has closer resemblance to the ac-
count transmitted by the Greeks from
Berosus. the Chaldean historian, than to
the Biblical history. but it does not diff
materially from either. The principal
differences are as to the duration of The
Deluge, the name of the mountain on
which the ark rested, the sending out of
the-birds. etc. The cunciform account is
much longer AID fuller than that of Bero-
sus. and has several details omitted both
by the Bible and the Chaldean historian.
This inscription opens up many questions
of which we knew nothing previously,
and it is connected with a number ~
other details Of Cialdean history which
will be both interesting ard important.
This is the first time any Inscription has
been found with an account of an event

Weather Predictions.

In many country places it is common
to hear it remarked that the ''the rain
will soon clear up, for the birds are sing
ing" the coming change is perhaps al
ready scnsible to their more delicate or
ganiZatiOn. There is also the appearance
of the clouds and to this indication even
the lamented Sir John Herschcl attached
somewhat of reliance, in that ''anvil-
shaped Clouds pOrtcnded gale of wind.
But, as rule. the moon may be conSid-
cred to hold the first place of influence
upon W. ather predictions. Halos round
. the moon are the phenomena most COM
lmOnly observed, and are realty explained
by the laws of the reflection of light from
the particles of aqueous vapOr suspended
in the atmosphere. When these haloS are
cOlOred, we may infer the presence OF
watcry particles in the higher regions of
the atmosphere; when the htlos are
white. We may consider that the particles
are frozen, and expect cold weather.

Hot Summers and Atmospheric Mois-
tire.

THE intense and long continued heat of
seasons like the past is due, ace riding to Il
recent foreign writer, not SO much to what
is going on i'll the sun, AS to the opera ion
of terrestrial influences. 1t is really a
question OF the amount of atmospheric
moisture. which tends to confine the heat.
and which varies with circumstances, the
chief being the character OF the prevail
ing winds. During one summer the winds
may come from the drier regions of the
earth. and our skies may be clear and dry;
during another, moist winds may prevail,
and then, even though the sky remains
clear. the air becomes loaded with invis-
ibie aqueous vapor; more commonly.
however. the skies are ciouded at such
times. Thus the several winds, indcpclI-
