mics in our civil war. Falling there,
by such base hands, we must nonor
his memory, as though he had died
in the saddle leading charge in some
great battle whose thunders shook the
world. He fell as his post OF duty,
the noblest place where man can fan.
Mingled with the sorrow which will
spread through all classes of the peOs
pie at his loss viii b. q pang of indig-
nation at the temporiZing and mis-
taken policy to which he owed his
death. -5.-. -.-.-...-...-..-
What we want with the Indians is
a clear policy, and one not only sim.
pie to US, but perfectly comprehensi-
BILE to them. That may be summed
up in a very few words Keep the
peace or we shall kill you.D BnfOr-
tuuately, what Is called q peace policy
conveys but one idea to the Indian,
who does not, for all the trips to Wash
ington and New York, und defstaHd the
motives of our forbearanc e-uanety,
that when we treat with him and pet
him after he has committed murders
and robberies NE are afraid Of him.
There Is bat oneEay to meet this line
Of thought, which Is universal among
them, and that is to adopt it as OnI
rule for treating them. They ocea,
sionally see cities; tut they see few
evidences of civilized power Ia their
wild Businesses, and hence they imag-
inc that when the fearful white man
pets them for murder, the best thing
they can do is 10 palager the . peace y
shibboleth for blankets and rations.-
We expect to hear that the Modocs
will be speedily taught in extermIRa-
tion the error Of their way and II the
lesson of the massacre is properly TAX
en- to heart il will be the signal for a
similar treatment Of all the warning
tribes that by turns cajole and murder
only to be encouraged to murder and
oaiole.

Some earnest and timely words Of

HOUSE pAINT1Na M pANBuRY.

The man OF the Nelcs thus de
scribes . recent mishap Old Mr..
Watson, on Nelson street, has got n
nice little bin to pay. He sent q man
down town for pot OF paint and a
ladder. The man got the paint, and
then went to a lumber yard after a
ladder. Then he tied the paint pot
ON the end of the ladder, and put the
ladder on his shoulder. This was a very
smart arrangement and the man him
self admired II very much. He start
ed home this very way, and didn't
find any trouble in getting along the
the first block, because people had an
impression that q long ladder with a
pot ofyeIlow paint dangling on the
end Of Il wasn't exactly the thing to
trffie with, so they balaneed along cn
the curb stone, or rubbed up against
the buildings. Pretty soon the man
saw somebody in store he knew, and
he turned around TO speak to him,
and drove one end OF the ladder into
a millinery case and knocked the
crown out Of an eighteen dollar bon
net. Then ne backed on In alright,
aud knocked down two sewing ma
chine agents with the other end.
Then he started 10 turn around, and
an old gentleman, who was des-
perateiy endeavoring to pun his wife
outiof danger; saw the peril and shout
ed out, 'Hi, therel But it was too
late. The pot struck against an avn
ing post, tipped 10 one side, and the
entire contents went over the aged
couple. This so startled the man that
he turned completely around, smash
ing in an entire store front, frighten-
ing milkmanis team, and knocking
over some thirteen persons who were
actively dOdging about to get out of
the way. Then he dropped the lad
der and fled into the country, shout
ing murder and fire at every jump.
A regularly ordained painter is now
engaged on Mr.. Watson's house.

From the Monte Christie, Mr.. Haz-

Cape Haytien, a distance Of about six
ty miles His 6rst7e1perienee. in the
negro republic was anything, but
pleasant. Starting IN, the evening,
and expecting to reach port by day
break, there was not a mouthfull of
food on board. Delayed by q calm,
the schooner did not come to anchor
until noon. The Custom House OH
GERS were at breakfast and kept our
hungry oVoyagerso waiting for two
hours for permission to land aad then

The next morning Mr.. Hazard ex-
pefieneed a new sensation. rHe sud-
denly found himself a millionaire.-
His first act on rising was to adapt
himself to q custom OF the country
and ask for a 'scoektail.n It Was well
fabricated and enjoyed with zest.-
Then ensued the following dialogue
