INDIANS FOR VIENNA.-A band of |
Kaw and Comanche Indians, fifteen
in number, is now being organized al
Council Grove, and is to be taken to
the Vienna Exposition The enter
prise originated with that mighty po-
tentote in tie animal kingdom, p. T |
Barnum, and the delegation is being
formed and equipped under the dlrec.
ton of K K. Barnum and J s Bar
mum, of this city, cousins Of the great
Snowman, who will accompany the at,
tractive dignitaries on their European
tour.
The intention is to collect complete
museum of Indian curosities, includ.
ing a wigwam and birck-bark canoe,
and exhibit them at the exposition
after which the museum will travel |
for year or SO in Europe. The In
dians who have been selected from
among the finest specimens of the Kaw
aud Comanche tribes, will give per
formaaces in connection with the mu-
scum. The whole affair is in charge
Of 2. L. Barnum and will travel under
his name and direction. The outfit
will start for New York soon, and will
be exhibited in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
and ether localities previous to their
departure for Vienna The Indians
will be in this city next week, and we
suggest to the agents the propriety OF.

as We are satisfied that many OF our
citizens would be glad of an opportun

There is at present serious affection
among the horses in Buffalo, which the
veterinary surgeons pronounce result
Of the eplzootic last fall. The new
disease attacks the animals hoofs, and
the flesh swelIs and bursts, leaving
large holes and very troublesome run
ming sores. In extreme cases the ami
NAL loses his hoofs entirely, and has to
be killed. TIE disease is not gener-
ally fatal or dangerous, but the animal
affected requires much care and is en-
tireiy incapacitated for service -Ne,o

The news OF disastrous confagra-
ton in Bohemia, Europe, reaches US
The manufacturing city Of Joachenis-
thai was terribly devastated on the 31st
of March Out of the $50 houses in
the town, $50 were consumed.
It is estimated that it will cost about
81 900 500, to exterminate the Modoc
Indians, or about S715, 900 per man.
There are about 100 900 wild Indians
on the plains yet. and if they are to be
destroyed at the same rate, the cost will
be about seven billion dollars. If the
Indian race is doomed to eztermina-
ton, let US by our efforts in their behalf
show that they are the victims of their
own destiny rather than of the cupid
ty and cruelty of the white man
