the explosionthe whole thing is placed
in one of Vulcan's crucibles and heat

the temporary absence of its driver.
The pony, Which had been driven for
a considefabie distance, and was SEEM

was observed by the proprietor of
Muirhall and others who chanced to
be inthe vicinity, to Deliberately walk

one that occurred M Leeds, in 1894.
A rgentleWans horse was regularly
turned into field. Where tf.efe was a
pump, the water of which never failed.
The horse nbserSed howvthe pump

itself, what did the Indians. ex pect 10,

it would seem naturally not only in+
famous but exceedingly foolish, for
we should anticipate that its final ef-

get at. a saSage's reason iszto' put your
Self in his place as neai'lylas possible,
iaad try TO realize what special direc-
etiOn his mind would take under given
circumstances. In this case the Mo-
docs probably judged the white troops
by their own Standard We know
that among the majority of Indian
tribes theq talloof a. chief in battle is
the signal for the fight of his follow
ers. Reasoning from analogy the
Modocs may be presumed to have
supposed that If they could only kill
the chief officers -ofathe pale faces, the
subordinates, would be seized with
panic and retire. 1t is already known
that the savages had Termed plot to

ceeding. Had they been able to carry
out all their arrangements, of course
the result would have been to hasten
their own destruction by exasperating
the troops. But it is not to be be-
lieved that their thirst for blood was
SO strong as to overmaster all ideas of
policy Rather is itspparent that they
thought they were adopting amaster-
ly strategy which would rid them of
their foes without loss TO themselves.
In this, as in too many previous cases,
the error of the government has been
in supposins that Indians reason on
the same plan as whitemen. On the
contrary, the Modocs reasoned about
the troops as they would have done
about another tribe OF Indians. There
never was any basis for oontid ence iD
the promises or professions of these
savages, and there never can be for
their kind. They neither comprehend
nor respect the rules of honor 5serv-
ed by civilized races. They hold idu-
plioity and treachery to- be permissi-
