The Modoo War.

What will be the probable expense Of
this little Modoc war, that is now going
on near tho Pacific ocean, Oregon and
California are furnishing volunteers, for
which bill Of expense will be rendered.
Our whole available force in that vicinity
has been brought into requisilion. Tho
cost Of transporting and sustaining even
this little army will be found q pretty fcr.
midable little affair by the time it is fig.
ured up. But thus far the Indians have
the best Of the fight, and forty Of our brave
boys were compelled to bite the dust In
the last conflict an account Of which APP
peared in yesterdays Chronicle. Many
were slain in the previous conflicts during
the few week that this war has been going
on. More troops are needed. This recon-
noissance in force does not seem to have
dislodged or seriously disturbed the little
tribe engaged In the fight. As conse-
quenee our troops drcw of,and REINFORCE
ments have been called for.
We are in fair way once more to real
ize the comparative merits Of feeding and
fghing the Indians, and the bearing OF
the experiment upon the Treasury, to say
nothing of the lives sacrificed. We shall
be greatly surprised II 1t does not prove,
before We get through with this contiic /,
that there was better method than the
one adopted to get these Indians out OF
our way. In their Businesses they can not
be tracked or followed by any force that
can operate to advantage. Captain Jack
understood these facts and it seems as IL
our people ought to have foreseen them -

When James Fisk was in the zenith OF
his fame and poised on pinnacle Of
wealth from which it then seemed that no
power could ever throw him, old T. was
on very friendly terms with PRINCE Erie,
and frequently formed one Of party Of
million aires at fhe princely entertain
ments given by Fisk. Ono Of these was
given on board Of the magnificent Ply
mouth Rock, which was then new from
thu ship-yard. Col. Fisk was showing
. through the boat, pointing out her
beauties, and expatiating upon her speed,
etc. All at once he stepped before two
full-fedged portraits, the one of jay Gould
and tho other Of Fisk, Old T. ad-
mired them, as in duty bound, but at length
asked:
"Wh-wh- where's the Savior 2"
"What have Gould and got to do with
HIM. replied Fisk.
~ me-me-meant th-the oruoi-f. cation,
you know"
Fisk was more puzzled than ever, but
seeing the merry twinkle in rs eye,
he knew that joke was coming, aud &C.
oordingly asked;
"What do you mean y
"We-we-well, you know, the Bi.bi-bible
says Ch-ch. christ was cru-cru-crucified
between two tn. th. thievesl"
Fisk often told this story with great
gusto.

Indian Captives.

The Austin Journal says: We were
shown yesterday the photographs Of two
boys, recovered from Indian captivity by
General Mckenzie, at the time Of his re-
cent victory over tho Indians. One Of the
boys has been recognized as Temple Friend
tho son Of Mr.. John Friend, now of Eldo-
rndo, Kansas. He WINS taken at the Plano
Massacre, some four or five years ago, In
which three women were killed, and the
step.mother OF this boy wounded and
scalped, but the latter recovered. When
retaken the boy seemed to remember moth
ing of his early childhood, but he was aoon
able to recall and give q satisfactory ac-
count Of his capture, and Of the manner
in which the Indians escaped from the
country after their raid. Mr.. Leonard s.
Friend, his grandfather, spent above FIVE
thousand dollars since the boy was car
ried of to effect his rescue, and had given
up oil hope Of ever fudng him. The other
boy has not been claimed by his relatives,
nor are they known, and anybody who has
had boy about six or seven years old
captured by Indians within the last four
or live years, may procure photograph Of
this unclaimed lad free OF charge, by
comm nioating with Mr.. W. M. Gilleland,
Of this city, to aid recognition. q

The Tragedy at Austin.

The assassination of tho Hon.
Louis FRANKIE, the Representative
of Fayette county in the Legisla-
ture, strikes terror to every honest
and courageous heart in our land.
Nothing has occurred in our State,
in all its varied and bloody history,
which is so perfectly identified
with horror as this terrible murder,
and not breath of our people will
go forth that does not bear with it
q prayer to God for the arrest and
execution of the lawless ruffians
who SO untimely cut off the life Of
one who had been chosen by his
constituency to fight for them the
contest ofgood government against
mongrel machinery. The manner
of his death sends the blood to
every honest heart chilled with the
just Indignation which such occur
rences always excite. There is no
word in our language that is so full
of awful meaning, so productive OF
horrible sensations, and so calculat-
ed to terrify, and, at tho same in
slant, sicken with faintness and
fear the mind and heart rs assass in.
The very presence of one in any
community, who can vail by night
the secret movements Of his thirsty
blade when directed against the life
and being Of an unsuspecting vic
tim, must cause men to shudder,
evenin the facied security which the
law extends to "life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness"
| Assassinated, how awful that
death which comes upon us when
we expect it not, from hand un-
seen and unfeared until the fatal
thrust has performed its work. The
concentrated contempt OF q whole
people gives no sorrow or regret
to the beastly heart which directs
tho assassin's missile, for he is the
enemy of mankind and holds the
dagger at tierce point against the
whole of the human race. To such
men society owes but one thing
ca short rope and a long shrift."
Let us hope that in this instance
that debt will be paid to those who
have turned loose in our State,
within the portals Of our Capital
tho demon of death, and directed
its attack against one who was un-
offending, and unsuspecting the
awful doom which awaited him in
the terrible moment when tho shad
ows of unending sleep fell over him.

nsA. The following opinions, rela'
tive to the contagion of smallpox
and the period at which it is most
infectious, has been collected from
the best medical authority, by a
friend, and we give them a place in
our columns most cheerfully, be-
lieving that the public can not un.
derstand too much of the terrible
consequences Of the disease, and Of
the best means to avoid its attack
DIR. WATSON SAYS:
There is no contagion strong and severe
Us that of smallpox; none that operates
at SO great a distance.
DR.. MAGGARTH SAYS:
That during his long attention to this sub
ject, not single instance had occurred to
prove that persons liable to small .pox
could associate in the same chamber with
q patient in the distemper, without re-
ceiying the infection. II is readily COM
municablo in every way by incubation
by breathing o contaminated atm esphere,
by the contact or vicinity Of formites,
nay, it may be caught from the dead body.
Mr.. Cesar Hawkins has related an inter-
esting example Of this.
DIR. WOOD SAYS
Opinion is not settled as 10 the period Of
the disease NJ which 1t is contagious
some believe it TO be only after the COM
mencement of separations, while others
with greater prudence, consider II as cap
able Of self propagation at any period
after the establishment Of the fever. 1t IL
certain that the body retains the power oil
propagating the disease after death, (ac'
cording to Mr.. Hawkins) for period al
least ten or twelve days even without con-
tact.
DIR. FLINT SAYS
The disease is generally supposed. to DO
communicable in all It's stages, but un.
dou btedy it is most highly so during the
stages Of supuration and desiccation.

CUBA.-Mr. Henderson, tho correspon-
dent of the New York Herald, has increas-
ed public interest in the affairs Of Cuba.
Mr.. Henderson gave it as his candid opin-
ion that if the patriots were supplied with
arms they could soon win their independ-
ence. He gave facts to show that it will
be impossible for Spain to regain IN un-
disputed control Of the Island. II is now
ramored from Washington that Brazil,
Chilli and Mexico are ready to intervene
in behalf Of the Cubsns, IL the United
States will only give them pledge Of
neutrality.
Nothing is more probable than that the
nations Of South American, which have
not forgotten the rigor Of Spanish colo
NAL, rule, will intervene In favor OF their
oppressed struggling brethren in tho
"Gem of the Antilles" 1t is also rumored
from Washington that the Spanish Lega
ton there has recently received informa-
ton from the home government that it
will be necessary to recall the troops from
Cuba to help repress revolutionary in
surrectio n in the Peninsula.

A MUSICAL BIRD.-A good story is told
Of tame owl SO fond Of music that he
would enter the drawing room ofan even.
ing, and, perched on tho shoulder Of one
of the children, listen with great atten-
ton to the tones of the peano forte, hold
ing his head first on one side, then on the
other, after the manner Of connoisseurs.
One night, suddenly spreading his wings,
as If unable to endure his rapture any
longer, lie alighted on the keys, and, driv.
away the fingers Of the performer with hi.
beak, began to hop about upon the keys
himself, apparently in great delight with
his own execution.

A NOVEL PRoJEor.-A proposition is be-
fore the Virginia Legislature, said to be
backed by Ex-Governor Wise, to monopo-
lie the insurance business for the benefit
OF the State, by organizing what it 10 pro-
posed to call the insurance Bureau Of
Virginia" Agencies are to DO established
throughout the State on the life and fire
basis, and all competitors are to be-driven
from its limits. This is deemed feasible
way of raising the wind, and keeping
within the State great deal Of money
that would otherwise b. drawn out; white
the guarantee ofthe State will make every
man safe.

The Cadets of the Texas Military Iusti-
tute, turned out hundred strong, divided
into four companies, under the command
Of Col. James,on Saturday afternoon for .
dress parade on the lot back Of the capi-
itol. They presented really fine APP
pearance, marched steadily, and in good
time, and acquitted themselves in highly

them 60 through battalion drill, but were
disappointed. We hope, however, when
they turn out again, they viii give the
public an opportunity Of witnessing their

POSTAL.

The postal revenues last year are 30 {
down ct So, 1854, 900 on letters, on nswspap-
ers, and periodicals, $685. So it ap-
pears that the revenue from letters was
twenty times rs great as that for the news
papers, while the newspaper mails were
twenty times the weight and bulk Of the
letter mails.
In 1870 there were eight hundred m Ill i.
lion copies Of daily journals, an avera 10
of over two and half millions q day; Of
weekly papers six hundred millions O (
copies, or an average of over eleven and q
half million copies per week; of monthly
periodicals one hundred million copies, or
an average of over eight and o third mil.
lions per month.
The lowest rate Of postage on these
publications was: On dailies, one dollar
and twenty cents year; on week lies
twenty cents and on monthlies, twelve
cents
MIR. Framework, of Illinois, stated it as
his opinion, in q late speech, that ten per
cent. of the dailies and eighty per cent Of
tho weeklies and monthies were carried
through the mails. If this estimate is cor
rect, and ifpostage had been collected on
these publications, it is evident that it
should have yielded total revenue {
$2953,045. The actual receipts, however,
were only S9S5,94C.
We are little afraid Of The policy OF o
total abolition of the franking privilege,
and charging postage on newspaper ex-
changes. Congress can doubtless improve
the postal business but it should consider
long before consenting to adjourn with
the reputation of having attempted, in a
spasm Of virtue, to cover up the Credit
Mobili0r sin BY multitude of interfer-
ences with popular accommodation by the
mails. 1t is nothing to boast of now, and
much cutting at the cheapness or freeness
OF the transition Of books, periodicals and
newspapers by the mails, could not, we
think, be made pleasant or profitable,
even by the passage of the bill for promo
ting national education. Houston linton.
