Any man, woman, or child who neglects to
tell his dreams after this must expect the dir
est results to follow. A boy in China told
his schoolmaster he dreamed that he had been
murdered by his step-mother, who placed his
remains in jar under the floor. Sure enough,
the boy neglected to appear at school; the
man at once flew to the house, and without
rhyme, but with great reason, tore up the
floor, and the boy walked in the door. His
mother had kept him home to run errrands.

The MOdocs' LOng-Nursed Re-


The treaehery OF the Nodocs In muir
dering the peace commissioners brings
up afresh the history of the former
massacre, i'm which eighteen Modoc
peace men were murdered. In 1852
North California was disturbed by In
dian troubles. The same year a eompa-
ny under the command of Capt. Wright
organized and proceeded from Yreka to
the Indian country around TILE Lake
and the lava beds, and fought three un-
successful battles. Their force being
insufficient for the ModOcs, they re-
turned to Yreka and organized larger
force, and then marched again to the
MOdoc country. Winter approaching
found the MOdoc supply of blankets,
ammunition and food extremely limit
cd; consequently the Modocs were anX-
iOus for a cessation OF hOst1iities.
Capt. Wright received the Modocs'
Overtures with great cordiality. A
peace conference was agreed upon, and
a place was appointed in the immediate
vicinity of the massacre of Gen. Candy.
The conference met, about twenty-five
Indians and thirty white men. While
discussing terms, Wright gave his nlen
the signal, and in n moment they killed
eighteen nOdocs. Seven ModOcs es-
capped. Thus persisted the fathers of
then but nine years old, John Schon-
chin nineteen, Boston Charley and
Hooker Jim two years each. 1t is prob
able that revenge grew with age, cul-
minating in the Canby-Thomas massa-
ere. Some years afterward Wright was
appointed Indian agent at Rouge river.
lie was apprehensive of ModOc venge-
ance. One night a Modoc chief named
Enos murdered him and horribly mutt
lated his body. Enos was afterward
captured and hanged. lie died exult-
ing that lie had wrcaked vengeance on
the leader of the massacre of his muir
dered tribe.

Tennessee and the Iron Age.
The following article from the Bon
ner IS strong argument in favor Of the
Memphis and knoxville Railroad.
Heretofore cotton has been recognized
as king on this continent, hut now that
the mineral resources Of The southwest
ern and southern States are beginning
To develop, iron bids fair TO dispute the
claim of royalty. Heretofore Pennsyl-
vania and Missouri have been recog-
nized as the seats OF this imperial pre-
tender. But now Tennessee and Ala
hama begin to put in their claims Al
read Tennessee boiler iron ranks first
il the iron world-no boiler construct
ed out Of it having ever yet been known
to explode. In Middle Tennessee we
have four counties Wayne, Lawrence,
Hickman and Lewis-whose ore banks
are fully equal to the Iron Mountain in
Missouri, and sufficiently abundant 70
last for centuries. Very few of these
ore banks are now used, because of the
difficulty Of reaching them. They are
not on the line of any railroad, and are
some distance from the Tennessee Riv-
err. Ore is now delivered from these
ore banks at furnaces near them at two
dollars per ton, which is eight dollars a
sold for at Carondolet. With a railroad
this ore might be transported even TO
CsIrondOlet at 81 ton for Transporter
ton, thus making it four dollars per
ton cheaper ut that point than the Iron
Mountain ere. At Cincinnati and
Pittsburg the difference would be still
more in favor of the Tennessee ore.
The Memphis appeal makes the state.
ment that the ore in these four counties.
IL put into market would be worth
more than the whole amount Of taxable
property in Tennessee Is at this time.
The wealth of these counties in miner
ais is truly fabulous. Tennessee may
place herself in the front rank Of iron
States, and whenever she does so her
taxable property will be counted by
billions instead of millions. Our Mem
phis contemporary appeals 70 West
Tennessee capitalists to build a road to
this rich region, "within 40 miles of
Memphis" Think of Memphis propos-
ing 70 come I20 miles to a rich region
which is right under our nose. Is not
chat a reflection upon our Rip Van VIM
kleism i'm Nashville?

"why Men Don't Marry"

The Rev. Mr.. Morgan, of Boston,
gave his i.inth and last lecture ian this
city mt the Seventh Presbyterian
Church, for the benefit OF the Young
Mems Christian Association.
Mr.. Morgan spoke upon the question
of''Why men don't marry" for which
he gave eight reasons, as follows: First,
because they could not get the woman
they wanted-they looked too high for
beauty, talent and perfection which
was beyond their reach; second, be-
cause they were cowards-they dared
not "fisce the music,@ and quaked at
the lightning flashes of fair maiden's
eye; third, because they were skeptical
they had no faith in wOman's con-
stancy, and believed her weak and frail !;
fourth, because they were selfish and
stingy, and did not think they could
support wives: NTH. because women Of
genius were not always good house,
wives (the reverend gentleman advised
his male auditors net to marry geni-
uses); sixth, because Of mans own ex-
travagance-many Of eur young men
spent their incomes fOolishly, aud of
course could not afford to marry; sew
snth, because they were afraid Of di-
vOree, which was made by the laws too
easy-free love was poisoning the sys-
TEN Of marriage; eighth, because OF
woman's eNtravagance-it costs as
much to laanch a woman on the sea Of
welded life lie these times as il would

cordage, pennants and streamcrs, the
difference, he opined, was In favor of

1t Is gradually coming to light where
all this anti-funding cry, raised on be-
half of the people, came from. 1t is the
howl of the railroads who owe the
State and want to pay it off in dPpreci-
ated bonds. The Avalanche shows that
the Memphis Appeal advocated and
urged such policy rs would depreciate
Tennessee bonds expressly for the pur-
pose Of aiding the Memphis and Charles
ton Railroad, and was paid 81, 900. The
Avalanche is now advocating anti-fund-
ing and making the same cry the APP
peal eli then, that the people demand
ed it. The people! What deeds are
done and what principles advocated in
the peoples name!
The Appeal advocated low taxes, and
all in the name of the people, but it all
comes ont in the receipt of the Appeal
to the VI. & G. r. II. that it was not the
people but the railroads who wanted
low taxes and deprecated State securi-
ties.
Now we find the Avalanche fighting
for the railroads against the funding
bill and using the same argument that
the people don't want the interest
funded.
The truth is, the Avalanche, whether
consciously or not, is working for the
depreciate Tennessee bonds for their
own selfish purposes, to the ruin of the
State.
The simple question, shall we ruin
our credit and all merely that railroads
may pay in their Indebtedness to the
State at a cheap rate, or shall we fund
the debt, submit to such taxes as are
necessary to pay interest, and thus en-
able OURSELVES to pay a higher rate of
taXatiOTiEsasier than we now pay less
one. Why do we grOan under the
lightest taxation in the United States
Because our credit is at low ebb, and
neither capital or laboreomes to relieve
us of our burdens or share them with
us. 1t Is certain that high rate of tax
alton is often lighter than low one,
because the money raised Is used to ere
ate healthy state of finances and "a
prosperous condition in the State

The ineorrigible Don Piatt, contem-

viii eNterminatc the american people
at the rate the one-sided Modoc war is
going on, throws a sop TO that ferocious
chief by saying that he desires it to be
distinctly understood, before this thing
goes any further, Captain Jack has al
ways been his first choice for President.
The objection to the MOdoc is that he
never defines his position; at least our
officers have not succeeded in locating
him to their satisfaction. His ideas in
regard 60 back-paY are uncertain, but
lac has way OF going for an ADVERSE
rvs back hair which is unpleasant, TO
say the least of it. On the stealage
question he agrees substantially with
Cakes Ames; goes for all he can get
and puts it where he thinks it will do
most good. The old reprobate seems
ambitious of making modern Pompeii

ernment troops under the volcanic de-
bris OF his dismal retreat. The ancient

This use of the Cotton Seed Oil
of course creates a much greater
demand for Cotton Seed, which will
cause it to bring a better price and
will benefit the planter in this way.
Most laundry soaps have a large
percentage of rosin in them (rang-
