CHIPPEWA CHIEFs.-On last Sunday
evening six real live indian chiefs, of the
Chippewa tribe, MISREPRESENTATION are in
Dakota territory, passed through our
town on their way homeward from Wash
ington. where they had been on mission
of peace. We rode some distance on the
train with them, and through the kind
ness of Mr.. Edmund Brissette, interpret
er, learned their names which we give {:
Little Bull, Red Thunder, Black Bap-
tiste, observation-disclosures
ground, Henri Potret and Mr.. Davis.
Three Of them talked French, and one of
those three, Mr.. Davis, talked English
quite intelligently the remaining three
talked no language but that of their tribe.
One Of them had violin which he play
ed quite skillfully, considering the want
of proper cultivation, while the other
kept passengers in a good humor, by ex-
ecuing war songs, whoops and imitation
of scalping operations. With the excep-
ton OfThe-man-that-stands-up &c. They
are fine specimens of physical manhood,
the exception being an aged chief, bowed
down with years Of care, and watchful-
ness over his people. They were, with
one exception, dressed in the historic ha-
biliments Of their race, and all in al,
were fine specimens Of the aboriginee ;
their tribe numbers about four thousand
souls, and have generally been one Of
the most orderly and peaceable Of the
red tribes Of the West. 13

SPECIAL NOTICES.
A CARD TO THE PUBLIC
A Short POstpOnement Of the Kh Gvf
Concert

A Short PoStp0neHent 0f the Fyh Ggf
Concert.
As manager Of the gin concerts given in aid of
the Public Library Of Kentucky my position ere
ates an importanttrust in behalf OF the Public Ii
brary and the ticket holders Of the fifth gin con-
cert. The Public Library OF Kentucky and the
ticket holders are jointly interested in the amount
Of the drawing The larger the fund TO be dlstrib-
ted in gifts the greater will be the gift awarded TO
each lucky ticket holder and the more the amount
realized BY the Library To have full drawing
Is manfestly 10 the interest Of those interested
thet rather than have fractional drawing on the
Goth inst deem II due to the trust confded 10
me by the ticket holders and the Public Library
Of Kentucky, that short portponement be made
TO enable me to dispose Of the uns0ld tickets and
have a full drawing. Though the very large
amount now In bank would enable us 70 distrib-
ute handsome gifts, yetwe should feel disappoint.
ed in this our last concert should we be ecompelled
to make fractional drawing however large.
We have received so very large number OF let
ters from all parts Of the country from those most
largely interested urging postponementi If all the
tickets be not sold by the Both, that we feel
strengthened In our sense of duty to the ticket
holders and the Public Library, to make the poe,-
pOnement. Under the cirmstances we have de-
termined In the interest Of all parties to postponef
the concert and drawing 70 Saturday, February
a. 1875 at which time the drawing will positively
take place and as guarantee Of good faith toward
ticketholders we pledge ourselves 10 refund TO any
ticket holder his money upon presentation of his
ton Of his, should the drawing fail 10 come of on
the day now fixed. The past we feel assured,
will be suffcieot guarantee TO all interested they
will be fairly and honestly dealt with. The money
paid fot tickets Is sacredly preserved against all
contingencies until after the payment Of the gifts
after which the expensesare to be reimbursed and
the Public Library Is TO be paid the profits

Account Of the Globe Light Co.. O,......- 205 90
Several membesspoke ofthe patent street lamps
not burning well, or only for short time In the
evening-it was suggested that the lamps were not
properly attended to-
Judge Underhill called Vice President Bechel to
the chair and addressed the Council upon the alb
SOlnte necessity OF laying iron pipe TO the lake.
He commenced by reading communication from
Mrs. Catharine Myers and Elizabeth o. Blake
complaining Of a ditch on their premises dug In
building the water works. which for some yeau
has seriously injured and Obstructed their premi-
ses They demand said ditch be filed by next
May and that the city then pay them hve
hundred dollars damages He also read a resolu-
ton passed by the Water Works Trustees; after
which Judge Underhill offered the following;
WHEREAS The water pipes connecting Myers's
lake with relief towers defective, that the wa
teBof the lake can not be safely conveyed through
them; and
WHEREAS; The waters of the creek now supplied
70 the city are frequently unit for culinary purpo-
the pipes; and
WHEREAS, The waters of both the lake and the
creek are necessary 10 furnish our city with full
supply Of pure water; therefore,
Resolved, That the City Solicitor be requested 10
bring In an ordinance authorizing loan Of thirty
thousand dollars for the purpose Aforesaid, said
loan 10 be payable In not less than five nor more
than ten years and bear interest not exceeding
eight per cent, payable semi-annually.
motion was made and seconded that the fore
going be adopted, whereupon Judge Uunderhill
continued his remarks, giving brief history OF
and stating the unfortunate defects and neglects
In building the works. He referred 10 the fact,
that instead Of using lake water our citizens have
been compelled to use the creek water; he spoke
ofthe bad condition OF the dam that would require
attending to before long and in that event, or In
case Of break, the city would be without water
supply. The creek water, at times, was unfit for
use, and also injured the machinery. Using lake
water would obviate all these troubles, and in fact
It became necessity to obtain it-6OOO feetof iron
pipe would answer anda loan of thirty thousand
dollars would suffice, The lake also Is forty feet
higher than the ground at the Court House and this
would give pressure that would save theexpense
Of steam power,-if this work were not gone at at
once the trench left open would have to be filed
up, and all this would cost the city, and before
long anyway we will be compelled to obtain water
feom Myers's lake. The city needed connection
with the lake so that we could have one or the
other to fall back on in case Of an emergency. He
had given the subject considerable attention and
was satified there was no otherway exceptto make
a proper and reliable connection with the lake
The motion prevailed, and the City Solicitor Is
requested to DRAFT an ordinance to provide for
loan of thirty thousand dolla to lay iron pipe to
Myers's lake.
On motion, Council adjourned.

LABOR AND CAPITAL

have stated that three elements Of
prosperity to the nation, capital, labor
(slutled and unskilled) and the products
Of the soil still remain with US. To direct
the employment Of these Is problem
deserving the serious attention Of Con-
gress. Kemploymentcan be given 10 all
the labor offering itself prosperity nee
essarily follows. / have expressed the
opinion, and repeat it, that the 6rst req
uisite to the accomplishment Of this end
is:the substitution of a sound currency
in place Of one Of fiuctuating value. This
secured there are many interests that
might be fostered to the great profit Of
both capital and labor. How to in
duce capital TO employ labor Is the ques-
ton. ftfiiififf

CENTENNIAL

The report Of the Commissioner Of Ag-
griculture, herewith attached, contains
suggestions of much interest to the gem
ersi pnblio, and refers to the approaching
Centennial and the part his department
is ready TO take in It. 1 feel that the ma
iion at large is interested in having this
exposition success, and commend to
Congress such action as will secure a
greater interest init. Already many for
eign nations have signifed their inten-
ton to be represented at it, and it may
be expected that every civilized nation

Deeds Of Darkness in Shelby Coun.
~, Ky.
From apparently reliable sources it
is reported that in Shelby county, KY,
Saturday night, band Of masked men
visited a religious meeting, but did no
violence beyond hitting several per.
sons as they came out Of church. AT:
terwards they went to the house Of
Thomas Ford, white, where they whip
ped three negroes. and threatened Mr..
Ford with the same treatment unless
he discharged those employed by him.
From Ford's the party went to the
house of negro named Darlington and
called for him to come oxtside, when on
his refusal to do SO, they fired into the
house, one ball striking the daughter of
Darlington, sixteen years old, who was
sleeping on the floor, putting out her
eye and burying itself in her shoulder.
Two of the band then broke the door,
and after cursing Darlington, rode off.
At last accounts the wounded girl was
still living, but in precarious condi'
tion. 1t is probable that Gov. Leslie
will take immediate steps to capture
and bring to justice the murderous
wretches.
