Grace Greenwood's Indian Expert.
enceS.

The next evening we drove out to an
encampmenJ of the Indians, who had
come to Denver to hold, in the very
blaze of civilization and within the
"sound of the church going bell" a
grand pow-wow and a succession of
scalp-dances. Several hundred of these
innocent creatures, men. women. and
children, had gone frantic with delight
over the possession of two or three
fresh Sioux scalps. They were wilder
than we got over a live canon and a
real lord. They were now getting a
little tired of their prolonged glorifca-
ton, which necessltated somewhat more
of physical exertion than is agreeable
to the aboriginal constitution, and the
word was, " I can not dance tonight
except for a consideration" We met
the hero of the affair, however, and
conversed Familiarity with him, and saw
the scalps A couple of his young
braves brought them to our carriage,
dangling from long poles, and one of
the youths executed for us lazy, i'm

a personable and remarkably intelli-
gent and shrewd-Io looking savage, and
seemed to know he ought to be in better
business than parading his disgusting
prizes, and idling among the squaws in
camp-ought to be off Misunderstanding
cattle and horses, waylaying other
Sioux, riding about with peace commits
sioners, or heading a Washington depu-
tation, cajoling the great father and
living high und drinking deep at the
expense of the government. The mighty
chic was exceedingly gracious to us,
playful and even gallant. One young
lady of the party found such favor in
his eyes that he actually proffered her
the brave hand that Lad taken the Sioux
scalps. Girls, this is the country to

WINNING GOLDEN OPINIoNS.--Pe rhaps
no man living has won more golden
opinions than DIR. Walker, as the enor-
nous and widely increasing sale of his
California Bitters attests. We never
look into one of our exchanges but there
is a panegyric of the Bitters staring us
in the face. Our readers will say that
there must be a reason for all this praise.
They are right. The efficacy of this
celebrated medicine is established by
evidence which it is impossible to doubt.
Among the thousands who have borne
testimony to its excellence, there is not
one dissentient voice. In very many
phases of inorganic disease it seems to
be unfailing. All diseases arising from
a vitiated state of the blood are surely
eradicated by it. It is an effectual rem
edy for pulmonary complaints, bilious,
remittent and intermittent fevers, rheu-
matism and dyspepsia. 1t purges the
body of all unhealthy humors, gives
tone to the system, and where the vital
powers are enfeebled, restores their
functions to vigorous and healthy action.
All this it does the more effectually be-
cause its operation is not interfered
with by the presence of alcohol. The
Vinegar Bitters is perfectly free from
any such hurtful ingredient. We have
always believed that plants contain the
true remedies for disease, and all the
remedies necessary. DIR. Walker is on
the line of real progress, and we hope
that he will not rest on his present dis
coveries.

A Yankee Trick.

Capt. John Jefferson, of the bark
London, has recently been guilty OF
what the Philadelphia Press character
ICES as ga smart and disreputable
trick" at the expense of the Spanish re-
public. He informed President Ser
rano that the United States government
had ordered a cruiser to see that no
American vessel should land arms for
the Carlists, and having thus quieted
the suspicious of the confding Span
lard, he landed twenty-seven guns
from his ship for the Carlists, and disap-
peared. This is as rascally a piece OF
lying as we have recently heard from.
just such smartness" as this has been
manifested abroad on several occasions,
of late years, and notably in the " En-
ma Mine" swindle. Is it, therefore, any
wonder that these and similar con-
fidence operations have brought dis
grace upon the American name?

Utilizing Mummies.

Fancy mutton fattened on ancient
Egyptians The other day, at SAX
hara, 1 saw nine canels pacing down
f~om the mummy pits to the bank of the
river, laden with nets, in which were
femora, tibia and other bony bits of the
human form, some two hundred weight
in each net on each side of the camel.
Among the pits there were people bu-
silly engaged in searching out, sitting
and sorting the bones which almost
crust the ground. On inquiry learned
that the cargoes with which the camels
were laden would be sent down to Alex
andria, and thence be shipped to Eng
lish manufacturers. They make excel

How often do you see the effect of an

of those whom vile rhymer in these
passages has described as
Dear woman! who divides our joys,
And trebles our expenses.
You will see each one sweep the
other with quick, pitiless glance from
the hem of her robe to the topmost
twig of her bonnet and if that glance
darts upon and fixes at some particular
spot, be sure that there a misplaced
wad has been detected. A little hole

The health ordinance passed before
Christmas has thus far been dead let
ter. If any of its provisions have been
enforced we have not been able to learn
the fact. But it is better late than new
er. A new Board of Health has been
appointed, and has entered upon its ac-
tive duties. We are glad to be able to
call attention to the promptness Of the
new Board and to the fact that on the
eleventh Of March, 1874, orders are to
be published which provide for and re-
ouire the strict enforcement Of the lead
ing provisions laid down in the health
ordinance. We assumed long ago that
sueh a Board should be created and kept
on duty all the year round. It is posi-
lively necessary as a matter Of self

has recognized the necessity Of such a
