hundred and forty years since the Prince,
or rather Emperor, Of Cortez's swarthy
op osers, asked his fellow sufferer, slowly
roasting over charcoal fire, ifhc thought
his majesty was "cposiDg on a bed o
roses" The bloody gold hunters did not
spare Montezuma's successor, and Guat-
amotzin perished. But his smemory did
not rot" TO. now, after all these years, Il q
citizens OF Taucanhuitz, in the =. odern re-

of an ilustrious line Of monarchs who
swayed the sceptre of empire over Ana

sailed from Palos. The people of Tancan-
huitz are building 3 monument to the
memory Of Guatmoizin, the last ofthe Az
tee empcrors of Mexico.

cess that st. Georges Channel, which discharges
iOur times as much water as the Sulina, Is to be
improved IN the same manner.
The Russian government Is preparing to adopt
the same plan on the V0lea, Dwlna and Neva. ON
the latter stream there are to be five miles OF Jet
ties, which will give o depth OF twenty-iour jeet

Kaw Indians reports to Commissioner Smith, OF
additional number or the Osages and Kaws have
paid for their rations by Dlanual labor,
and that many OF them express a de-
sire to be permitted to earn civilized
clothing in the same manner; also that the camp
teachers meet with encouraging success among
the women ana children. Friend Gibson In this
communication recommends (as Commissioner
that all the Indian country west OF the ninety
eighth meridian be thrown open TO white Sc tile
ment, and that the Wild tribes now there
he moved eastward on to unoccupied
lands or the different clvillzng' tribes. This, he
believes, would PUT stop to Indian raids into
from Texas to Kansas and enable railroads TO be
constructed Letweeh those States without passing
over Indian lands. He says:-"I trust tnat not
