A MINISTER calls our attention To
possible, and certainly uninteutional,
injustice done other preachers of Texas
by the Stdtesn,an when it Landed the
activity and genius of Bishop Garrett.
Our correspondent justly praises the
deeds and virtues of Martin Ruter,
Daniel Baker, Chauncey Richardson,
''and their compeers who hallowed the
soil of Texas and stirred both hearts
and minds with desire for virtue and
knowledge. And what of the thou
sands who have labored here and are
laboring to-day Crane, Burleson,
McKinzie, Mood, the Bishops, the
Jameses, ct al? Do we not disparage
good men and our country at once by
such statements2 feel that / should
risk little by saying that there have
been and are now men In Texas who
could teach this Bishop Garrett for
years to come. do not disparage him,
but defend the dead and living" We
refer these matters to Bishop Garrett,
and suggest modestly that he go at
once about the business of selecting for
himself u proper pedagogue. -Austin
Statesman.
"There have been and are now men
in Texas who could teach this Bishop
Garrett for years to come" is the little
written down by little and
jealous preacher. That this writer to
the Statesman should SO discourteously
refer to scholarly and Christian gen.
tleman evidences anything but the
spirit OF charity aud love that should
characterize the cloth.

The Sioux Sun Dance.

A number OF young braves left Stand.
ing Rock, Cheyenne agency md Fort
Peck reservation lately, aud joined Sit
ting Bull. Before, however, they could
be accepted, they had to pass through
tho ordeal OF tho sun dance. These
ceremonies wer0 held in wild canyon
OF tho Big Horn mountains; aud
graphic description OF them has been
given by W. q. Cooling, n young Mas.
sachusetts trader. The sun dance com.
menced on tho afternoon OF the eight
zenith Of June; and, from tho com.
mencoment to the end, two hundred
warriors wero not to eat or drink any,
thing. Under shades made OF cut
boughs, Sitting Bull and other warriors
were gathered to witness the ceremo-
MES. The two hundred young warriors
were ranged around medicine pole,
their bodies blackencd with charcoal,
and wearing nothing but n short skirt OF
bnckskin around their loins, and eagle
feather corOnets. They would dance at
intervals OF half IN hour, and were then
allowed n short respite until again called
out by the tomtom. A warrior WIS sus-
pended from the medicine polo by tho
ends Of n lariat fastened to two tLorns
stuck in tho flesh Of his back; in each
hand he held long pole. which partial
ly supported him; but every few min
utes he would swing tho whole weight
of his body upon tho lariat in au effort
to tear the th0rns from his flesh. After
hanging for three hours in the glaring
sun he was cut down and carried away.
Another young warrior, who wanted 10
show what n bravo heart he lad, lay
dowL on his face aud had SIX thorns put
in his back md shoulders; then turned
over, and had two moro put in his
bre.st, Then, rising to his feet, buffalo
skulls were fastened TO the thorns in his
back, aud lariat to those in his breast,
md 10 was made fast to tho medicine
pole. The tomtom struck up, nd tho
Indian begun to dance; and +, Tx skulls
tore out Of the flesh ono by one, Sitting
Bull aud tho chief would shout their
appreciation. Then, bracing back till
the lariat pulled his breast out like
wOman's, he danced with renewed vigor,
and as the thorns tore from his flesh and
he had demonstrated terrible pUSels OF
endurance, the chiefs gave him loud
cheers.

4 Skeleton Detective,

A physician, in Boston, having his
Office opposite the museum, being M
Eoyed by aomo dirty Italinu pcldlers,
who ran III upon him at all hours, laid
tho following plan to keep them away :
With human skull fixed on n pole,
around which he wrapped IN old Office
gown, and animating the whole by the
Office boy, q very respectable living
skeleton was produced, which had the
desired effect Of Kidding the premises OF
tho gamins. But another effect was
since produced not entirely anticipated.
The skeleton was set in tho closet near
tho door for future use. One day re-
Gently tho doctor was himself startled
from his front office by n milling OF the
dry bones, followed by an unearthly
yell, rs though his ghostship had "taken
on mortality" again and rushing ont,
tho doctor discovered fellow standing
on tho floor nearly scared to death. He
had stolen in md opened the closet
door, when tho skeleton had suddenly
confronted him, falling against the door.
The fellow was probably n sneak thief,
md the skeleton saved the DOCTORS best
coat. And now the gamins have it that
the building is haunted.
