'fBoss" TWEED has escaped from
Ludlow street Jail in New York, and
no trace of him can be found. Warden
Durham took him to see Instantly
and allowed him private interview
with his wife, and after waiting for
some time he called for him to come
out, but he was not there. 1t is re-
ported that he left in a steamer. Sheriff
Conner and Warden Durham are Ii
able to a fine of $1,000 and one years
imprisonment, each, for their neglect,
and if Tweed is not forthcoming they
will, no doubt, and ought to receive
the punishment.

TIE SIOUX INDIANS.

Last Wednesday the delegation of
Sioux Indians that are now at Washing
ton for the purpose of hearing the propo-
sitions of the government for the extin-
guishment of their title to the Black
Hills country called on the President.
They were received by his Excel!ency in
his private Office, and each Indian being
presented by an interpreter, shook hands
with him. The President addressed
them through an interpreter, informing
them that he had always been their
friend and was now anxious to do what
was best for their good. He informed
them that by the treaty of 1868 clothing
was granted to them for thirty years, but
provisions for only five years, and there
fore the food given them for the past
two years had been gratuitious on the
part of Congress. He also called their
attention to the fact that the country
where they now live is incapable of sup
porting them should the government
cease to give them provisions. The
advantage of being situated where they
would be able to get support beyond
any contingencies was spoken of, and the
territory south of them was mentioned
as having better climate, better grass,
game, etc, together with numerous other
things showing the Importance of their
accepting the PROPOSITIONS of the gov
eminent and relinquishing their title to
their present homes. The President in
formed them that these matters were
merely suggested to them that they
might think about them, as at that time
they were not expected to reply to what
he had said. The Indians were in full
costome, including plentiful supply of
paint and feathers, and were evidently
disappointed in having to retire without
replying to the President. 1t is reported
that the Indians are adverse to changing
their present for another reservation, but
as they are too lazy to work it will only
be necessary for the government to con-
vince them that their rations will be
stopped unless the change is made, and
they will surrender their title. The
noble red man will do almost anything
in preference to degrading himself by
labor. Those who see fortune to them
selves in the opening of the Black Hills
can take courage.

The Plague.

The spread of locusts for the last ten
years has been largely due to the in
creased new areas under cultivation fur
nishing them choicer food, and the i'm
mense destruction ofgrouse, wild turkeys
and other birds which feed upon them.
The destruction OF the prairie hen has
been carried on to such an extent that
they have almost disappeared from the
vast districts where they were once plen-
ty. In killing them the farmers have in
vited the invading grasshoppers to come
and possess the land. There is great
deal of talk now about some patent
means for destroying the locusts by the
wholesale. No such specific has yet
been discovered, and all the experience
of the East goes to show that the chief
dependence must be put upon natural
causes. If we kill the bind that eateth
the worm, We must either eat the worm
ourselves or expect the worm to eat us.
There is no alternative. If we destroy
the wild fowl by the thousand and ship
them by the ton, We must cope as best
we can with the supply Of provisions
nature has made for them. There is no
objection to fasting and prayers; but a
rightly enforced law prohibiting the
shooting of the grouse or turkey or wood
cocks or quail or pigeon, out of their sea-
son or in their season, except in small
numbers, for the next twenty years, un-
der the severest penalties, would do vast
ly more to prevent the coming of the
grasshoppers than anything yet devised.
And as fast as the wild fowl is driven
back by cultivation, domestic fowls and
birds should be introduced. The only
way to conquer Nature is by obeying
Nature.-Ne,o York Graphic.

1t will be remembered that the course
Of the grasshoppers was from West to
East last summer. 1t seems that they
had all passed to the eastern border be.

for the fact that the Western and mid

whole church which they represent, to
establish fraternal relations with the
Assembly South, on terms of confidence,

while the result grieves US, We have no
assurance that we did all that we we're
