for horses. He had on the shoes OF q
white man, whom he had in all probability
killed. but his steps are those of an Indian.
Going through the rayine, the end OF lis
gun hit the eep snow. A week ago we
had a very warm day, and the snow being
sOfs be made these deep tracks; ever since
it has been intensely cold weather, which
makes very shallow tracks, l suggested
that perhaps he bought those shoes. SIN
dians don't buy shoes, and if they did they
would not ny them as large as these were,
for Indians have vtry small feet"
The most noted trailer of this country
was Paul Daloria, hatf.breed, who died
under my hands of Indisn consumption last
summer. l have spoken of him in former
letter. At one time rode with him. and
trailing was naturally the subject Of our
conversation. begged to trail with him
an old track over the prairie IN order to learn
its history. hardly made the proposition
when he drew up bis horse, which was at
ravine, and said: swell, here is an old elk
track. Let us get off our horses and follow
it." We followed it but few rods, when he
said it was exactly month old, and made
at two O'Clock in the afternoon. This he
knew, as then we had our last rain, and at
the hour named the ground was softer than
at any o.her time. The track before us
was theu made. he broke up here and
there clusters of grapes that lay in the path
of the track, and showed me the dry ends OF
some, the stumps of others, and by numer-
GUS other similar items accounted fer many
circumst noes that astonished me.
We followed the trail over mile. Now
and then we saw that wolf, 8 fox, and
other animals had practiced their trailing
instincts on the elk's tracks. Here and
there he would show me where snake,
rat, and prairie dog had crossed the track.
Nothing had followed or crossed the track
that the quick eye of the Daloria did not
detect. He gave an account Of the habits
of all the animals that
had left their footprints on the
track, also of the state of the weather since
the elk passed, and the effects OF sunshine,
wind, sridity, sand-storms, and other indu-
ences that had a bearing Oh these tracks.
The old man, like all trailers, was reticent,
but on this occasion, seeing that l was in
serested, became specially communicative.

letter from Fort Sill, Indian Territory, dated

Clerk ofSUperinterdent Hoag, arrived there
the previous Friday to hold council with
the Kiowa and Comanche Indians with re-
ference to the release of Satanta and Big
Tree, chiefs of the former tribe, who have
been confined in the Texas penitentiary for
many months past; but no Kiowas were
present ard but few Comanches. These
tribes are said to be much disappointed be-
cause Satanta and Big Tree have Iot been
released, according to promise, and at the
non arrival of Gov. Davis, Of Texas, who
was to have been at Fort Sill some time

The letter further states that it is not

A CONTRAsT-wHE AND
LONG BRANCH.
From the Baltimore Gazette,


When James Buchanan was President Of
the United States he occasionally, but not
very often-fOr he had old-fashicned ideas
of duty-paid visit to his modest home ct
Wheatland, and who will forget it that has
ever enjoyed its genial hospitality? 1t was
the abode of intelligence, and moderation,
and kindness not only to the psrlor visitor,
but (what was very impressiVe) to the poor
turnpike wayfarers, who knew when their
benefactOr was at home, and were sure of
his charity. No retinue of lsckeys fol-
lowed him-no trail of private secretaries
and cooks and engineers and gardeners.
He paid his Lancaster market bills out of
his own pocket. This was the case in what
our Republican friends are fond of calling
the bad old times Of Democracy. What
the condition of things now is, our read
ers may learn from the following ex-
tract from q Yell-informed New York
journal:
"Gen. o. E, Babcock, engineer in charge
ofthe Washington Aqueduct, Commission
er of Public Buildings and Grounds, Colo
mel of Engineers United States Army and
Private Secretary to the President, starte !:
from this city to-day for Long Branch, TAX
ing with him number of gardeners who are
to be used in putting the grounds and gar
den about the Presidents seaside residence
in order. These men are part of the force
employed here to take care Of the Pablic
grounds, and while it may be economical
so far as the Presidents pocket is concerned
to tase them away from their work here, it
is expensive fer the Government. Not only
will their pay run on as if at work here,
but the cost of transporting them to Long
Branch will be charged to the Executive
contingent fund.
"But this is not the only abuse which the
President tolerstes in this connection.
Nearly all of the household servants, the
cooks, buffers, &C., who are paid by the
Government fer service in the Executive
Mansion, are taken to Long Branch every
season, and in this way the Seaside White
House is run out of the funds provided
solely and only for the Washington White
House.

THE ASSESSMENT LAW.

There can be no doubt but that a large
portion of the people who are complaining
so loudly over the unjust burdens imagined
to be imposed upon them by the new tax
bill, have never taken the trouble to exam
inc it, ard have accepted as true The mis-
statements of those who from prejudice con-
slider the bill obnoxious aud unjust.
The bill has furnished employment for
The usual number of street corner p0liti-
cisns-a class of men who would rot be
satisfied with anything short OF hanging,
and who unfortunately have never received
Justice from the hands of their countrymen.
No douot bad they the framing of the laws,
everything would go without jar; the
world would stand filed with wonder and
admiration at their superior statesmanship;
the schoolboy would find ready TO hand an
eloquent composition on that hackneyed
theme, "chaDge," so completely and per
fectly would they remodel the laws OF the
country. The great wisdom and knowl-
edge displayed by few pulled up egotists
about the "unconstitutionality" of the act,
is truly alarming, and one cannot help
wondering how such goodness and smart
ness ever arrived to the age of maturity.
There may be flaws and imperfections,
many and great, in the bill; there probably
is; but the extreme satisfaction manifested
by some in abusing it and the men who
voted for it, is not warranted on account OF
the public acts of any body of men who
have the credit of being intelligent and
honest. A
The only material difference in the new
bill and others that have existed on the same
subject, is, that it reaches certain kind of
property of certain class which has here
tofore been exempt. The rate Of taxation
is the same as before, in fact not mentioned
in the bill; and those who own no more
property than when last assessed, pay the
same taxes, no more, no less, if the Asses
sors have done their duty under the old
laws. Doubtless, through the misinterpre
tation of Assessors, and the incorrect form
of the schedule now being used, many un-
lust assessments may be made; but this
should not be laid upon tho bill itself. j.
unconstitutional, unjust and burdensome,
time and the wisdom of those who think
twice before they condemn, will remedy
the evil.
