Ben was very harmless and respectable
gentleman, A spot on the north bank of
Lost River, few hundred yards from the
natural bridge, was selected for the
council. On the appointed day, fifty-one
Indians (about equal in number to Wright's
company attended, and as agreed upon
by both parties, no weapons were brought
to the ground. A number of beeves had
been killed, presents were distributed, and
the day passed in mutual professions of
friendship; when Wright-whose quick,
restless eye had been busy--quietly filled
his pipe, drew n match and lit it. This was
the preconcerted signal As the first little
curling wreath of smoke went up, fifty re-
volvcrs were drawn from their places of
concealmcnt by Wrights men, who were
scattered among their intended victcms; n
few moments of rapid and deadly firing,
and only two of the Modocs escaped to
warn their people!
| The Scotch have given us a,proycrb that
| "IIe maun hac u lang spoon wha sups wi
the teil;" and it may be Wright thought so.
| Perhaps the cruel and merciloss character
| of these Indians justified an act oftreachery
now passed into the history Of the country !;
| but certainly the deed was not calculated
to inspire the savage heart with high re-
spect for the professcd good faith and fair
dealing of the superior race Ben Wright
is gone now-killed by an Indian bullet,
while standing in the door ofhis own cabin
at the mouth of Rogue River. No man
may judge him; but to this hour, his name
is used by Modoc mothers to terrify
their refractory children into obedience.
The Modocs were now filled with revenge.
and their depredations continued till
it became necessary for the Territorial
4 q ~ 4 4
tons against them. For several years they
were pursued by volunteer forces through
their rugged mountains, where they con-
tinued the unequal warfare with daunt-
less spirit; but, year after year, the num-
Der of their warriors was diminishing.

FALSE MOTIONS.

1t is not always those who seem most
busy who accomplish the most work.
This was illustrated the other day in q
very forcible manner.
The foreman of one Of our large news
paper offices was showing q gentleman,
who k ew nothing about the printing
business, over the establishment. In the
composing room he watched with wonder
and admiration the thousands of little bits
of metal passing with a steady click, click,
like the noise of piece of machinery,
into the polished sticks which the COM
positors held in their hands. The fore
man asked him to point out the man
whom he considered the fastest compost
tor.
The gentleman answered; "That is
easily done; that tall young fellow over
there seems to set twice as much as any
one in the room. His hands go about so
that can scarcely follow his notions"
Wrong" said the foreman; "our fast
est composition is that quiet looking young
man by the side Of the one you have
pointed out"
ale seems very slow and deliberate" "
said the visitor; ''his hands do not move
nearly so fast as those of his neighbor.
1t cannot be possible that he sets moro
type"
1T is true" replied the foreman. "The
secret is that he picks up type every
time he goes for it. The other man
makes what we call false motions; his
band goes twice to the case for type,
and though he seems to be doing great
deal of work, his stick fills slowly in COM
parison with that Of his deliberate neigh
Dor, who never hurres, uses just the
amount of action sufficient to accomplish
his purpose, and does not seem to set one
muscle in motion unnecessarily"
Half, more than half of the energy used
in this world is expended in false motions.
Men dash about in great hurry as if
they had all the business of the city on
their shoulders, and at the end Of the day
they find that they have accomplished
about one hours solid work. Keep your
eye we'll on an object, think little, and
then go for it. One shot, for which a
steady aim is taken will accomplish more
than vol!ey at random.
Take things easily as the song says,
"lts always best to take things in qui-
etsort Of way" Theamount of strength
expended in false motions" would be
enough to place every one in the world
beyond the reach of want could it be util-
lied.
Keep cool; don't fnme and fret and
bother yourself, but think how II thing is
to be done, and then do it. Avoid "ialse
motiOns;" let every move you make mean
something and be an advance toward the
end you seek. Make as many friends in
your progress, too, rs you can, and no
enemies.
