Of the new outbreak OIL the plains and Of th,
murders and rads along our Western borders
To put money into their own pockets, hundreds
Of brave men aud noble women and children
must perish every year.
| There can be little doubt that the Sioux, Ar.
1apahoes, and Cheyepnes have begun general
war along line Of 800 miles, extending from Lar
annie Peak south to the Republican River. The
Cheyenne Leader declares that these Indians
have been treated kindly, and the murderoue
raid has been made out Of ''pure cussednessr r
We don't believe that yarn. This is not the sea-
son Of the year when Indians will leavo good
rations ut home in order to seek tho precarioua

with the prospect Of meeting the troops and gc.-
ting soundly thrashed. Nothing but the pangs
Of hunger will drive them out Of their tepees in
the month OF February There must be some
undivulgcd raacality at tho bottom OF the present
outbreak. And here is specimen Gen. Smith
telegraphs, Feb. II, from Fort Laramie "Haye
just received information that arms and ammu-
nition are e,. route to the Agency for use By the
hostile Sioux, furnished by the interior Depart
ment." He adds: '' Have ordered Capt. Eagan
out to intercept the train and bring the
arms and ammunition to this post"
Is it, therefore, too much to charge that the
1ndian Ring and the Interior Department arc
responsible for the murders recently committed
and now sure to follow the uprising of the
savages2
Why will not our "happy- -go-lucky" Congress-
men at once pass this whole Indian business
over to the War Department ? That is the only
way to suppress the Indian Ring, and to keep
the peace on the frontier. II the control
is left where it is, tho Indians will
murder, and burn, end destroy as
loug as they find it safe to do 30. Then thoy
will graciously make peace. Tho Interior De-
psrtment will send on provisions. blankets, and ali
sorts Of supplies, and, when these are consumed
or stolen, the Department and tho Indian Ring
will again send on arms and ammunition for the
next raid. In behalf Of the men and women who
are planting civilization upon our frontiers, ne
demand that this scandalous, murdorous policy
shall stop at once and forever. Hand over the
whole Iudian question to the War Department.
That will stop the thleving and solve the whole
problem, and nothing else will.

THOUGHTS FOR SATURDAY
NIGHT.

The soul is strong that trusts in
goodness.
Humanity. like darkness, reveals
the heavenly lights.
There is nothing on earth divine
besides humanity.
4 good man enlarges the term of
his own existence.
To have ideas is to gather. To
think is to weave them into gar
lands.
1t is easy to look down on 9TH
ers: to look down on ourselves is
the difficulty.
What VIC heed most is not SO
much to realize the ideal as to ideal
ize the real.
lngratltude is always a kind of
weakness. I have never seen that
clever men have been ungrateful.
Ge0the.
God gives manhood but one
clew to success-utter and exact
justice; that he guarantees shall be
always expediency.
The only way to make the mass
OF mankind see the beauty of JUS
tice is by showing them in pretty
plain terms the consequence of in
justice.
L had rather never receive a kind
ness than never bestow one. Not
to return a benefit is the greater
sin, but not to confer it is the ear-
lier.-Seneca.
What has surprised me most in
history is to read of so few kings
who have abdicated their thrones
not above a dozen or two at the
uost.-Sterne.
There is perennial nobleness
and even sacredness in work. Were
ne ever so benighted, forgetfrl of
his high calling, there is always
hope in a man that actually and
earnestly works.
The happiness of life may be
greatly increased by small courte-
sizes, in which there is no parade,
whose voice is too still to tease and
which manifest themselves BY ten
der and afectionate looks and little
kind acts of attention.

CURI0SYFIES OF MY OFFICE.
BY G. J.

There is something very mex
plicable about 'offices." You can
never more thaD half persuade
people that they are really places
OF business. A mill, a factory, or
q warehouse is thought q spot
where time is Of value, and into
which persoas ought not to in
trude. An Office is never so re-
sarded.
Iswil! give one OF two Of my
own experiences. The first is i

HEAT OF THE SUN.-The heat of
the sun nowhere ponetrates the
ocean more than six hundred feet.
At depth of from one to two
miles the temperature is every
There about four degrees below
the freezing point, caused, proba-
bly,, by the ice water poured into
the ocean from the arctic regions,
northern and southern. This, be-
ing heavier than the surface wa
ter, sinks to the bottom and forms
currents ever flowing toward the
equator, to take the place of the wa
ter which, there heated and render
ed lighter, rises to the surface and
forms the Gulf and other warm
streams. AS these flow again to-
ward the arctic regions, it will be
seen that a perpetual circuit is
kept up, the arctic waters contin-
ually lessening the heat of the
tropical waters, and these, IN their
turn, giving out their heat as
they flow away from the tropics.

THE VAGABOND SAGE.

An old man Of very active
pbysiognomy, ans 1ering to the
name of Jacob Wilmot, was
brought to the Police Court. His
clothes looked as though they
might have been bought second
hand in his youthful prime, for
they had suffered more from the
rubs Of the world than the pro-
prietor himself.
"What business?"
"None; I'm a traveller"
"a vagabond, perhaps?"
"4ou are not far wrong. Tray
elers and vagabonds are about the
same thing. The difference is
that the latter travel without mon
ey and the former without
brains? ?"
"Where have you travelled? ?"
"All over the Continent"
"For what purpose ?'
"Observation."
"What have you observed ?"
"a little to commend, much to
censure: and a great deal to laugh
at"
"Humph. what do YOU COM
mend?"
"a handsome woman that will
stay at home, an eloqucn t
preacher who will preach short
sermons, good writer that will
not write too much, and q fool
that has sense enough to hold his
tongue"
"What do you censure?"
"a man that marries . girl for
her fine clothing, a youth who
studies medicine while he has the
use Of his hands, and the people
who will elect a drunkard to Office
"What do you laugh at?"
q laugh at u man who expects
bis position to command that re-
spcct which his personal qualifca-
tions and qualities do not merit"
He was dismissed.

COURTSHIP MADE EASY.

When two young people who
have a hankering for each other
meet for the first time at a social
gathering, the following colloquy
ensues:
He [timidlyl-"Fine weather we

He [tremulo]-"No-yes-well,

After five more minutes of sus-
pense and twitching of fingers, the
bashful youth again coaxes his cour-
age up.
He-"Been vaccinated?"
She [blushingl Yes"
He [courageouslyl- Did it

Another pause ensues more
nervousness, and the interesting
conversation goss back to the wea-
ther:
He-"What do you think of the
snow?"
She [intelligentlyl Il don't
know"
Thus encouraged, the youth at
tempts to look sheep eyes at his
sweetheart, at the same time she
tries to glance over her shoulder.
They detect each other, and blush
simultaneously. And so the pleas
ant interview was kept up until
some friend relieves the embarrass-
ment OF both by separating them.
A valentine or philopena is next il
order and the business is settled.

The MYSTERY OF PEhFUME.-No
one has yet been able to analyze
or demonstrate the essential ao-
ton Of perfume. Gas can be weigh
ed, but not scents; the smallest
known crcatures-thc very mo-
nads Of life-can be caught by a
microscopic lens and made to de.
liver up the secrets of their organ
izatlon; but what is it that emf
mates from the pouch Of the musk
deer, that fills whole space for
years and years with it's p2uetra-
ting odor, an odor which al illimi-
table number Of extraneous sub.
stances can carry on without d.
minishing it in size and weight
and what is it that the warm sum-
mer air brings to US from the flow
ers, no man has yet been able to
determine. So fine, so subtle, so
impondcrable, it has eluded both
our most delicate weights aud
measures, and our strongest lenses.
If we come to the essence of each
odor, we should have made an
enormous stride forward, both in
hygiene and in chemistry; and
none would profit more than the
medical profession if it could be
conclusiyely demonstrated that
such an odor proceeded from such
and such cause, as we already
know Of sulphur, sulphurated by,

- lfhe following is announced BY the West
I'D laSier Review the finest American poem
ever written i
Within the sober realms of leafless trees,
The ruSset year inhaled the dreamy air.
Like some tanned reaper in his hour Of ease;
When all the fields are lying brown aud
bare.
The gray barns, looking from their hazy,
hills,
Ger the dun waters widening in the wales,
Sent down the air greeting to the mills,
On the dull thunder of alternate falls.
All sights were meilowed, and all sounds sub
dued,
The hills seemed further and the streams
sang low,
As IN dream, the distant woodmau hcwed
IFS winter log with many muffied blow.
The cinbattled forests, crcwhilc armed with
gold,
Their banners bright with every martial
hue,
Now stood like some Sad beaten hosts of old
Withdrawn afar in Times rcmotest blue.
On Sombre wings the yulture tried his flight
The dove scarce heard mis- Sighing mate IS
complaint;
Auds' like a star slow drowning in the light,
The village Church vanc seemed to pale
and faint.
Where crst the jay within the cln's tall crest,
Made garruIous trouble round her unt!edged
youDg2
And where the oriole hung her swaying
nest,
BY every light wind like : censor swung;
Where sang the noisy martins of the caves,
The busy swallows circing ever near
ForebodinS, as the rustic mind believes,
An early harvest and plenteouS year;
Where every bird that walked the vernal
feast,
Shook the sweet slGmbcr from its wing at
morn
To warn the reaper Of The rosy East,
Ali now was sunless, empty and forlorn.
Alone. from out the stubble, pipcd the quail
And croaked the crow through all the dreary
gloom;
Alone, the pheasant, drumming in the vale,
Blade echo in the distant cottage loom
There was no bud, no bloom upon the bow
crS;
The spiders moved their thin shroudS night
by night;
Tbe-thistEe-down, the only ghost Of flowers,
Sailed slowly by-passed noiselessly ont OF
sight.
Amid al this-the centre of the scene,
The whte-haired matron, with monotououS
tread
Piled the swift wheel, and with her joyous
mien,
Sat like q fate. d watc' ed the flying
thread.
She had known sorrow-he had walked with
-. her,
Oft supped, and broke with her tie ashen
crust,
And in the dead leaves still she heard the
stir
OF his thick mantle trailing in the dust.
While yet her cheek was bright with sum
mer bloom;
Her country summoned and she gave her
all;
And twice war bowed to her his sable plume
Ec-gavc the sword to rust upon the wall!
ks-saTe the sword, but not the hand that
: drew. ...-
And struck for liberty the dying blow;
Nor him who, to his sire and country true.
Fell mid the ranks Of the invading foe
Long, but not loud, the droning wheel went
on,
Like the low murrnur of hive at noon;
Long, but moi loud, the memory Of the gone
Brea;Led through her lips sac and trem-
ulouS tone.
Attast the thread was snapped--her head was
: bowed,
Life dropped the distaf through her hands
serene,
And loving EeighborS smooth her careful
shroud,
Andgdeath and winter closed the autumn
scene.

allpowerful Rome, which, every
year assuming greater proportions,
has continued even down to the
present day.
From q Protestant standpoint,
chief among the enemies of his
Lord, rises the blood-stained fabric
of the Roman Hierarchy, in which
he beholds the beast drunk with
the blood of the saints, the U .ca-
lyptic Babylon, and the mother of
Hsrlots. Next among these ene-
mics there rises the many headed
form of Infdelity, whose aims tend
to subvert society, and to pull down
all governments, and then reduce
man to his savage state, extinguish
the light Of 1000 years, and cutting
the world loose from it's ancient
moorings, send it a forsaken and fa-
therless orb drifting through the
dark abyss of eternity.
In order to understand rightly
the position OF Popery in this con-
test We must have some idea of
what it is, especially some knowl-
edge Of its Distinguishing dogmas.
The Ayalli6zity of the Roman
Church has long been one of it's fun
damental tenets; but whether this
privilege rested solely in the Pope,
OF IN a General Council, has always
been an unsettled question among
Papists themselves. The Vatican
Council, however, assembled in
1870. decreed that this wonderful
function rested in the Pope. Now.
if the present Pope be infalIble, all
his predecessors must have been:
therefore the Council had the eff.
frontery to stand up before the civ
iized world and proclaim that men
whom all the world know to have
been sensualists and murderers.

and decisions by the unerring Spirit
of God.
We might have expected nothing
else from Spanish, Italian or Aus
trian Catholics, but when we saw
