An old.Time Bear Story,

The Bennington Banner reprints from
an old paper a communication from that
town dated Dec. %, 1717, which quantity
tells this story:"A very ODD kind of d
providence happened lately nsour neigh.
borhood, viz: Mr.. Zebulon,. a, farmer
living al put. five miles north east by
north OF us township, having trained
upaco sof large bears to the plow
and otht ,eryices, clapped them before
mis- sled last week with twenty schipples
of wheat for the new city. The animals
drew extremely well for four miles and
a half, when, the halter of tho near lear
giving way, the farmer set about replac.
ing it; but while he was thus employed,
the brute, seizing him by the right leg
tore it miserably, and both bears hauling
at once, ran away with the sled, SO thai
with the utmost difficulty he got home
in four hours on foot. Messengers were
dispatched TO look for the eled andcar
go, and two days being spent in fruitless
search, they were given up for lost; but
on the thirdy atnoon, the noise of o. team
near the house was heard, and young
Cad. Stanhope jumped up 10 see who
was coming, when, behold, to his great
astonishment,' 1t provedlt be two bears

The sum of S1,s93 121 SO as prize-rnoney
for the capture OF vessels that were
burned and blown up, or abandoned ct
least two days before our navy had ever
seen them, and for the bounty on. 6, 600
rebels with whom they had never been
near enough to open ''an engagement"
and all of whom were then safe and
sound within the lines of Gen. Lees
army miles and miles away from both
ships and batteries.
II anything could disgust honest or
honorable men with this whole matter OF
naval prize-money, let them look into
the merits Of this claim, and the disgust
ls sure to ensue. If such a claim be
maintainable, why not extend the same
privileges to the army, where the real
fighting was done, and pay them $500 tor
every man captured with Lees army?
Why not turn over to the army officers
and soldiers the value Of all prizes of
forts, arsenals, magazines, arms, and
munitions Of war captured by them at
Richmond?
We know that large amounts were
awarded as prize-money at the taking Of
New Orleans, and Mobile. But there
our naval vessels did not lay off at
twelve miles distant while our army
stormed these places ON land. There
was such fighting as the world never
saw before. And even there we would
deem the payment of prize money was
wrong, simply because the whole thing
is wrong; and can not, under any cir
lIcumstances of modern warfare, be justi-
fled either by principle or expediency.

Truthful Words.

Hon. o, Jacobs, DegOte in Congress
from Washington Territory, made q long
and excellent speech in the house COM
mittce Of the Whole, on the 18th OF April,
in opposition to the bill proposing to
transfer the Indian Bureau into the con
troll of the War Department. We give
his closing remarks, endorsing them to
the letter:
A word or two for pioneers and bor-
der men aud am done. | know that
there is II popular belief that there is u
settled hostility on the part OF the pion-
ecr toward the Indian---thut be values
the Indian only tor his scalp; but, sir,
this is great mistake. Every consider
alton Of protection and safety to himself,
his family, and isproperty prompts him
to live on friendly terms with the lndi-
ans. lie knows the Indians mode of
warfare, he knows that the Indian recog-
nzes no non.combatants, but that he
smys alike women and children as well
as man. Under these circumstances it
would be madness for him to provoke a
contest that would imperil the lives oi
his wife and little ones and consIgn his
property to the flames. Whenever Indian
wars have sprung from the wrongful
acts of white men those acts were not
pcrpc,ratcd by pioneers, but by the par
asitcs of civilization coming in their
wake. They were the individual acts OF
bad men resented by the Indians on theil
principles Of justice, which were satisfied
not by the punishment of the offender
but upon some other white man. But
sir, most Indian wars sprung from no in
dividual act Of injustice perpetrated by
the whites, but were the result Of ma.
tured plans among the Indians to check
the encroachmonts of the whites, into
what they deemed their own country,
and to preserve to themselves the domaine
OF their fathers.

Paris Ito save their lives, that he was
the only Foreign Minister who had the

and desperate siege of Paris.
la the st. Louis Republican of Monday
last appears the following in reply to the
Tribune, believed to be from the pen OF
ex.Gov Koerner, an intelligent German,
as we'll as an experienced diplomatist,
having been minister to Spain during Mr.
Lincon's administration. The writer says
At the outbreak of the war between
France aud Germany, Great Britain offer
cd to the North German Confederation Il
protect the Germans then in France. A
the instance OF our minister in Berlin, Mr.
Bancroft, who was persona grdtd at thu
Prussan court, Bismarck declined tht
British offer and SOlicitedthe United State,
10 take charge of the interests of the Ger
mans ct Paris, IN France, generally.
Mr.. Bancroft, in his dispatch to Mr.
Fish, of August 2, 1870, No. 9,l2I, speak
about the matter as follows
THE British Government has under
taken in Berlin the protection of tht
French in Germany, and to keep matter!
even would have very gladly undertaken
the protection Of the Germans in France
but Count Bismarck refused to allow this
and by turning over the office, called thu
United States yisibly into the circle Of frs
class nations The act of yourself and tLt
president in accepting this protection is,
will not say a new era in European politics
but new incident, which has been re
ceived with reclamation"
Mr. WaSh6Wne toas Hereupoa INSTRUCTED
10 protect the Germans, and fdctljtdt
their departure, orders having been givoI
for their expulsion, which depa: ture tool
place long before the siege commenced.
Washburne then asked from the German
government a credit to dctray expenses
whereupon fifty thousand thalers wer,
placed at his disposal by Dir. Won Thiel'
at the Rothchilds.
Mr. Fish however, declined the money
and informed the German government
that the United States would bear all ex
penses, which was very worthy conduct

There were 10000 Germans in the city

poor and friendless They wero regarded
by the French population with intense
hatred, as all Germans were. They were
liable to be insuted, mobbed and robbed.
Their lives were scarcely safe from the
Infatuated populace They fed to the
American legation for protection. Our
minister spread over them the broad and
ample folds of the flag of the great Re-
public. He extended to them the same
care, assistance and protection as if they
were citizens of the United States. He
stood by them to the last, and never tal.
tered in his engagements to these helpless
and friendless strangers among their
enemies. We give notice to those who
oppose Il. b. Washburne for governor
that they are on the wrong track it they
think he is to be put down by silly sneers
and contemptuous illusions TO his heroic
and noble behavior during the memorable
