How to Treat MOdOcs.

Every reader knows too well, the sickening
story ofthe average Indian reservation. Who
blames Captain Jack for not wanting to 60
back to it if he could help himself-back to
this accused pesthouse 1t was miracle
OF savage fidelity, that Sconchin voluntarily
rode forty miles to get his furlough renewed.
The Modocs were chained tiger, tempered
with by fools. They let him play to the end
OF his chain: they pulled it, they coaxed
him, they threatened, they threw him crumbs,
they let him go again. He snarled, and
they coddled him. They begged him to
come back; they advised him to come back;
they sent agents to urge him to come back
From first to last there has been brought
to bear on the solution of the question
mixture of shilly-shally imbecility and pal
tering. The Modocs know mans metal
when they see him; they have done nothing
all their lives, but read faces. They know
George Crook from another man. They are
no dotards; they are no winners They

they caught, and cast them out of the vine

poor, simple witted Digger Indian telling his
SOhiiduO duOut telTlule Invention OF
the White man--evdently a repeating rife.
He wound up by saying, When he shoot
man, he hit him same time before, behind"
But the Modocs know which end of a Hen
ry rifle the lead comes out Of glory in
the supreme audacity which armors its breast
only with little red paint against sixteen

ger, and let him at large certain days, let
them not squeal if they are bitten. The
pity of 1T is-the grievous pity-that it was
the settlers who were bitten, and not the
reservation people. No doubt the Modocs
are cruel reyengeful, and implacable race;
but they know the master, when they see
him. All, for one day, for one hour. of
George Crook! The blood of those poor
murdered women and children lies not more
upon the bloody-minded Modocs than it
does upon wretched, slabbering, paltering
policy which let them loose. What the
Modocs need, more than anything else, is
that tremendous thrashlng which one brave
man gives another, and which they can un-
derstand after that, impartial justice--no
swlnding, no fooling, no generosity.-Orer-

CONGRESSIONAL GAMBLERS Wash
ington gambling-houses have never been
supported to any considerable extent by the
resident population. Members of Congress
particularly from the South, Southwest, and
West, were the largest contributors to the
income of the sporting men. Contractors
and Indian traders were generally bold and
sometimes desperate players. Members of
the House frequently staked their mileage
and per diem at the faro-table, and they
played all sorts of round games, short
cards." as they were called, in the club
rooms. Probably the amount risked would
not constitute what is termed high play ~
in these days, but the losses of these men of
limited means were often sufficient to keep
them impoverished and embarrassed during
their entire Congressional career Some
men played for excitement chiefly, not car
ing much whether they won or lost. Thad-
diets Stevens was one of this description.
He was like Fox, who described winning at
hazard as the greatest pleasure in life, and
losing at the same game as the next great
est. Thaddeus lost and won with the same
apparent Indifference. He played with con-
summate GOODNESS, never lost his temper,
and never increased the amount of his bet
either to retrieve his losses or more rapidly
to increase his winnings. His sarcastic re-
marks upon the discomposure of his fellow
players, who sometimes exclaimed with rage
and profanity at their ill luck, were always
witty as well as cutting. While they We're

Stevens such displays of weakness seemed

Kind Thoughts.

Let US cherish a memory for pleasant things,
And let all the others go
1t Is never by giving tit for tat"
That we touch the heart of foe.
1t Is not by dwelling on fancied wrongs
That we feel their sting grow less:
And malice once entering the heart is sure
To crush out all tenderness.
forglve, forget, though the wrong be great,
And your heart be stricken sore;
For thinking of trouble makes it worse,
And its pain all the MORE
Do kindly things to your neighbors, cen
hough they do not so to you.
Though they be VIZ ng, unjust, unkind,
Keep your own heart ever true
L he heart is a garden, our thoughts the flower,
That spring into fruitful life;
Have care that in sowing there fall no seed
From the weed of cruel strife.
Oh loving words are not hard to say
II the heart be loving too.
And the kinder the thoughts you give to other:
The kinder their thoughts of you.

A very good story is told of one Of Vir-
tues canvassers in London. He found his
way into the parlor of branch bank and
saw the manager, who, as soon as he learn
ed his business, ordered HIM out. Very qui-
etly he said, | meet with so many gentle
men in the course of the week that I can
afford to meet a snob occasionally" and
walked out. Next day he called at the bank
again, and wished to open an account. He
was again shown into the MANAGER, and gave
very satisfactory reasons for opening the &C.
count, and deposited e270. The manager
could not do less than apologize for his rude
ness on the day preceding, and ordered a
copy of the work, ans expensive Bible, and
allowed access to the clerks, several OF whom
did the same Two days afterwards every
farthing was drawn out.--London Book

WHAT IT Cosrs.-The price of ticket
to San Francisco and back over the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific roads is little
less than three hundred dollars. To this
must be added the expenses of seven or
eight days meals-averaging three dollars a
day, also the additional expense of COM
partment in the Pullman car. Without this
latter the journey would be unendurably ia
tguing with it, it is surprisingly comforta-
| BILE. 1'f.-
Upon the margin of the long railway map
furnished to travellers, we read that sleep
ing berth from New York to San Francisco
can be procured for eleven dollars, which
certainly sounds remarkably cheap. But
this does not mean a section, or even half
section; it refers to the minimum of space,
that is, half of one Of the berths, upper or
under, three other persons occupying the re-
mainder of the section. Now few persons
can be really comfortable with less than
whole section-certainly no lady travelling
alone could be-and whole section costs
that compartment in the p. 2. G. is
considerable item in the expenses OF the
trip.
Hotel charges in California are not so
high as with US, being three dollars-some-
times two dollars and half--a day. Car
rage fares are exceedingly dear, stage fares
less than in the East-on the White Noun
tain roads for instance. The Yosemite ex-
cursion is an extremely costly one. No one
should undertake it without an allowance of
from ten to fifteen days lat least) in time,
and from one hundred and thirty to one
hundred and fifty dollars in money. 1t will
then De easily seen. that it is safe to esti-
mate the expense of two months of travel
in California to vary from seven to eight
hundred dollars, according as the traveller is
or is not an economist. To reckon it as
less would be to mislead. And this, OBJ
serve, is in gold, and does not include any Of
the longer excursions--Southern California,
the Columbia River, Puget Sound /; all Of
which furnish points Of great interest and
beauty well worth an additional journey to

The CIVIL DAMAGE LAw.-The law
passed by the late Legislature of New
York, known as the civil damage law,
is being enforced in different portions of
the State, and with the effect to restrict
the sale of intoxicating liquors. Three
men in Canton, N. Y, became inmates
of the jail on account of drunkenness
and their families at once came upon
the town. The Poor Master offered the
landlord the choice Of two alternatives,
to pay the expenses of the families or
stand prosecution he chose the former.
In Ogdensburg, Mrs. Houghton sued J..
?. Ames, of the Sheridan House, for
selling liquor to her husband. He dare
not stand trial, but paid her claim and
costs. The idea of compelling the liq-
uor seller to take the responsibility of
his sales, may prove to be good one.
1T will certainly lead the seller to be
exceedingly careful to whom he sells. A
few trials of this kind under the law
will settle the question of selling liquor
to any but those who are responsible.
The poor man and the drunkard will not
be able to procure it. Thus far it will
do good.

VERMoNT's NEXT GOVERNOR The
Richford Sentinel calls attention to the
fact that at the dinner at Owls Head,
Wednesday, on the occasion of the OPEN
ing Of the Southeastern Railway, Mr..
Clark Of the st. Adams Messenger, was
was called upon to respond to the toast,
s'TEe Governor of Vermont. He ex-
pressed surprise that he should be called
upon. He said he was not Governor,
nor the son of Governor, ETC., but per-
haps he was called to respond to the
toast because he was sitting at the right
hand of the neat Governor. He
was sitting at the right hand of Hon.
Bradley Barlow. The Sentinel presumes
that this constitutes an official announce
ment that Mr.. Barlow is in the field,
and we think the inference fairly war
rantable. We have also heard the names
of Hon. T. W. Park, of Bennington,
His Honor Lieut.. Governor Taft, of Bur-
lington, and Hon. N. 7. Sprague, Jr.,
of Brandon, mentioned in connection
with the Governorship, and it really

of candidates next year was to be unus-
ually large Watchma,a.

Music AMONG THE INDIANs.-It can
hardly be regarded as surprising that
we have Indian wars, when we reflect
how persistently the paleface deludes
the untutored savage. There was a
Simmer Simmer was peddler. On
his way to the Pacific coast he stopped
over night in a village belonging to the
Shoshone Indians. Simmer amused
his entertainers in the evening by play
ing Kathleen Mavoureen upon an ac-
cordeon. When he had squeezed out
the tune three or four hundred times
the Shoshone chief told Simmer he
would give anything to possess such an
instrument as that. Then a happy
thought struck Simmer. He had six
hundred pairs of bellows which he was
taking out to a settlement in Oregon,
and without a qualm OF conscience he
disposed of them on the spot to the chief
at two hundred and fifty per cent. advance
on the cost. That morning Simmer
left. For the next two days the chief
remained at home, working one pair of
bellows after another in vain endeavor
to evolve Kathleen Mavoureen from
the nozzles; and, when he had strained
himself until he burst three or four
blood-vessels,, his wife took hand.
Then all the members of the tribe tried
and the medicine man seized one pair
and fled to the woods, and howled over
it and screeched, and sat on fence and
worked the handle up and down until
he tainted, and not a solitary note OF
Kathleen Mavoureen disturbed the i'm
pressive solitude of that vast wilderness
And they caught white man and drove
stake through him, and built bonfire
on his bosom, and made him try /; and
even he failed to organize concert up.
on the Mavourneen basis. And now,
whenever you meet Shoshone Indian
anywhere he always asks if you know 6
man named Simmer. They are looking
for Simmer. They want him. They
want to lead him out into some retired
spot and remove his cuticle, and chil
him off little by little until they worl
down to his skeleton.
