eral Davis, and the preparations for the
immediate execution of portion of the
Modoc captivcs, in accordance therewith,
were suspended. Unfortunately, this
was construed. by the ssOregon volun-
teers, as the telegram calls them, into
an endorsement of the ultra Quaker pol
icy, and the supposed recognition OF the
principle that one act of treachery, a
quarter of century or more old, would
Justify treacherous, cowardly retalia-
ton thereof at any future time. Under
these. circumstances, the dastardly mas
sacre of the four Modocs was entered
into, and the fair fame of Oregon's sol
diers furnished. We presume that there
will be no hesitancy on the part of the
United States or State authorities, in
instituting vigorous measures for the ar
rest of each and every person. engaged
in this outrage. While we call for
prompt justice in dealing with these
renegade Indians, and deem it necessary
for the safety of the settlers in the prox-
unity of all Indian tribes, that speedy,
terrible example shall be made of them,
after due trial, we, at the same time,
would make the example still more
striking and impressive, by visiting
these guilty .Oregonians with a like
prompt and condign punishment. =

THE LAST MASSACRE.

We deeply regret and unhesitatingly
condemn the action of the irresponsible
band of Oregon volunteers, by which
four of the Modoo prisoners were basely
and cowardly murdered. No law, hui
man or divine, will justify, excuse or
palliate their course, and we trust that
the crime MAY be followed by prompt
arrest, and the speedy punishment of
the cowardly perpetrators. While thus
viewing the transaction, we must con-
fess that we are not surprised at it. 1t
is but the result of the lesson, so earnest
ly and persistently, endeavored to be
taught by those who are SO infatuated
about the presumed wrongs of the poor
Indian" 1t is the early fruit of the
seed, which has been so industriously
sown during the past few weeks. A
labored effort has been made, ever since
that tragic April day, to excuse and jus
tify the acts of Captain Jack and his
band of renegades, for. the reason that,
as long ago as,Jack was little pappoose,
some of his tribe, and, perhaps, his di-
rect ancestor, had been foully and
treacherously dealt with by Ben Wright's
volunteers. Some went SO far, even, as
to justify the Modocs, and plead in ex-
tenuation of their murders and other
high crimes, the treatment of Massachu-
sets Indians by our Pilgrim Fathers,
and so on, all along down our history.
When, in the progress of events, the
capture of. the tribe was rendered rea-
sonably certain, and down to and even
after the striking of the final blow, the
exertions and arguments in their behalf
were redoubled, and the cry went up
from different parts of the land, t'let
them depart in. peace, for they have
done no wrong They little thought
they were but teaching 'sbloody instruc-
tions, which, being taught, would return
to plague the inventor. If the Modocs
were justified and excused for their bar
barous deeds, by any real or fancied
wrongs suffered by their ancestors, or
other tribes of Indians, at the hands of
the whites, the same Prlnclpie would,
lrresistibly, justify the whites in aveng-
ing their own and their neighbor's
wrongs. This cry of justification, raised,
at first by few well meaning, but Wis
iopary, men, was taken up by certain
class of newspapers, and the changes,
thereon, rung from day to day, in the
endeavor, by clamor, to overawe justice,
and produce a public. sentiment which
should applaud revengeful,i treacherous
murder, and allow all to go free who
could plead a traditional Injury against
a known, cowardy murder. The echo
of this maudlin attempt had just reached
the ears of the settlers of Oregon and
northern California, when the proper or
ders of the war department reached Gen

REAPING THE wHIRLwIND.

The report of. the village meeting,
which will be found on another page,
furnishes an apt commentary on the
manner in which our citizens neglect
their own Interests. One hundred and
twenty-eight individuals, some OF whom
were voters and taxpayers, and some
noticing about a 1.-THE OF those enti-'
tied to vote in such meetings-were per
mitted to win victory and to continue
a policy which looks to dark streets and
the abandonment. of all efforts toward
protection. If there is not humiliation
and disgrace enough in this, we know
not where it will be found. The same
back-action policy, the same disgraceful
alliance, which controlled the former
meeting, controlled this. The leaders
of this disgraceful coalition have sowed.
the wind of disorder, but they have
reaped the whirlwind of the scorn, con-
tempt and Indignation of all respecta-
bic, right minded citizens. Those of the
number who acted with them, from a
mistaken idea of economy and policy,
and misiudged the, actual needs and
wants of the village, and there may have
been such, are, of course, entitled to the
same respect for their opinions and the
purity of their actions, as are others who
thought and acted differently. For
them, while we respect their motives,
we regret that they should be found in
such company.
1t was amusing to witness the dicta-
torial powers which the ''poll-tax pay
er" attempted to assume, and with which
he undertook to instruct his followers,
as he supposed, howto vote. The mon
ster, having been created and set in mo-
ton, would no longer obey the will of
it's creator, but steadily voted down all
taxes. The man, who, at the annual
meeting, proposed a tax of seyenty-tive
cents on the dollar, tSe7sty,f Ue cents there
oft0r current expenses, was accepted as
organizer of this work, but was not
followed as a leader. The crowd went
where, with all his effrontery, he dare
not follow. They had been melted by
him and his coadjutor to resist taxation,
and they voted down all and every pro-
position for tax presented. To this
end it has come at last, and a few more
similar men in the village would make
it a pleasant place to emigrate from.
The question will be again presented for
the consideration of our citizens, and it
remains for them to say whether this
burning shame shall be continued, OF
whether, by an united, Indignant effort,
they will wipe i. out, and, at the same
time, teach these demagogues and as
sumed leaders lesson that they will not
easily forget. United, determined action
is all that is necessary.

Dear Strive have good reason for re-
garding your Negetine q medicine of-the
greatest UaI@e. We feel assured that it has
been the means of saving our sons life.
He is now II years of age-for the last two
years he has suffered from necrosis of his
leg, caused by scrofulous affection, and
was SO far reduced that nearly all who
saw him thought his recovery impossible.
A council of able physicions could give
but the faintest hope of his ever Fallyiug,
two of the number declaring that he was
beyond the reach of human remedies,
that even amputation could not save him
as he had not Vgor enough to withstand
the operation. just then we commenced
giving him Negetine, and from that time
40 the present he has been continuously
improving. He has lately resumed his
studies, thrown away clutches and cane,
and walks about cheerful and strong.
Though there is still some discharge
from the" opening where his limb was
lanced, I'VE have the fullest confidence that
in a little time he Will be perfectly cured
of Vegetine, but lately uses but little, as
he declares he is too well to be using med

These diseases are scrofula and all eEup-

This is formidable list of human all

any one article before the public has the
power to cure the quarter of them except

The SPINNING OF THE SILK-woRM.-Tbe
silk-worms change their skin four times.
After the fourth moulting comes redoubed
appetite, which permits them to attain their
full size in few days. Then other phe-
nomena appear. The caterpillar ceases to
eat, and empties itself entirely; it seems
uneasy, wanders here and there, and seeks
to climb. Warned by these symptoms, the
breeder constructs for it with branches a
cradle or bower, into which it mounts. 1t
chooses a convenient place, hangs itself by
the hind feet, and soon, through the spinner
of which | have spoken, We see come out
thread of silk. This is at first cast out in
any direction, and forms collection of
cords destined to fix the cocoon that is to
be spun. Soon the work becomes regular.
and the form of the cocoon is outlined.
For some hours we can see the worker per-
forming his task across the transparent
gauze with which he surrounds himself.
By little and little, this gauze thickens, and
grows opaque and firm; finally it becomes a
cocoon like these place before you. At
the end OF about seventy-two hours the
work is done.
Once it has given out its bit of silk, a
worm in good health never stops, and the
thread continues without interruption from
one end to the other. You see that the
cocoon is in reality ball wound from the
outside inward. The thread which forms
this bail is eleven miles in length; its thick.
ness is only one twenth- four hundreth of an
inch. 1t it is so light that twenty-eight
miles of it weigh only fifteen and a third
grains. So that two and one-fifth pounds
OF silk is more than 2,7O0 miles long.
Let me insist a moment on the prodigious
activity of the silk-worm while weaving his
cocoon. To dispose of its silk when spin
ming, it moves its head in all directions, and
each movement is about one-sixth of an
inch. AS we know the length of the thread
we can calculate how many movements are
made in disposing of the silk in seventy-two
hours. We find in this way that a silk
worm makes nearly 100000 motions in
twenty -four hours, or ,l66 an hour, or sixty
nine per minute. You see that our insect
yields not in activity to any weaver; but
we must add that it is beaten by marvellous
machines that the industry of our day has
produced-Popular Science Monthly.

UnSaid.

For days and weeks upon the lip has hung
precious something for all absent ear
Some tender confidence but lately sprung.
Some dear confession that but must hear.
The heart repeats it over day by day,
And fancies how and when the words will fall
What answering smile upon the face will play,
What tender Light will lnger over all.
But eager eyes that watch for one alone
May grow reluctant for the open gate
Lets in, with him. perchance guest unknown,
On whom slow words of courtesy must wait.
Or when the presence waited for has come,
1t may be dull or cold, too sad or light
look tnat shows the heart away from home
Can often put the dearest words to fight.
Perhaps the time of meeting. or the form,
May chill or wither what we've longed to say:
What fits the sunshine will not hit the storm
What blends with twilight. jars with noon Of day
Again, when all things seem our wish to serve,
Full opportunity may strike us dumb
May sink our precious thoughts in deep reserve
And to the surface bid the lightest come.
And often ere our friend is out of sight,
We start the thing can scarce be credited
We have been silent. or words been trite,
And here's the dearest thing of all urlsdid
