"Lo, the Poor Indian ~
GREELEY, COLORADO, I
June 80, 1876.

Mr.. Editor -
1t seems to US, that q general Indian
war is imminent. and may be averted
only by prompt action on the part of the
U. S. Government. When one considers
that the Indians in the northern country
and along the Black Hills region can bring
10000 warriors into the field; that they
roam over region exceedingly difficult
for regular troops to operate in; that the
country is all but unknown; and that the
Indians are wonderfully good horsemen,
it is not strange that the settlers through
out the country are alarmed. Government
has really been in very difficult position
in regard 10 the Black Hills. Young

Poor Custer has fought his last battle
OF course long ere this reaches you. you
will have heard of his disastrous defeat
and death near the mouth OF the Big
Little Horn river in Montana. in severe
conflict with the Sioux Indians. He fell
covered with wounds and with glory.
His two brothers, brother-in-law and
nephew all fell at the post OF duty. OF
some three hundred men composing five
companies OF the Seventh Cavalry (Cus-

scout was lett, 10 tell the story. The
officers ot the army stationed here and
those visiting the city will hold meeting
this evening tor the purpose OF taking
some action expressive OF their esteem
for him as a citizen and soldier, and
adopting suitable resolutions regarding
his death.
The liberal papers are getting into po-

The Cincinnati Commercial which has
been poised upon the fence lately swing

has now dropped over into the Reput-

evils impending should the Democracy be
successful.
Senator Morrill, of Maine yesterday
made a speech of an hours duration, on
the course taken by the House with refer
ence the reduction of salaries in the
legislative appropriation bill. He de-
nounced it as unwise. impolitic and un-
precedented. The speech produced
marked effect upon the Senate. He bade
his associates in the Senate good bye at
half-past one o'clock, and proceeded to
the Treasury to take charge OF that De-
partment.
The House Committee on privileg es

the act. After watchiog lar days she
heard him come in one evening, and
quietly pass into the kitchen. NJ" Katie
was out that evening, and the kitchen
was dark Burning with jealousy, the
wife took some matches in her hand and
hastily placing the shawl over her head,
as Katie sometimes did, entered the
kitchen by the back door and was a.
most Immediately seized and embraced
in the most ardent manner. With her

Jealous J, the injured wife proposed to ad-
minister terrible rebuke to her faithless
spouse. Tearing herself from his fond en-
brace she struck a match and stood face

Sleep is the Best IStimutant.

The best possible thing for a man to
do when be feels too weak to carry any
thing through is to 60 to bed and sleep
for week il he can. This is the only
recuperation of brain power, the only
actual recuperation OF brain force; be-
cause during sleep, the brain is 10 state
of rest. in condition TO receive and ap-
propriate particles OF nutriment from the
blood. which take the place OF those
which have been consumed in previous
labor, since the very act OF thinking con-
sumes or burns up solid PARTICLES, as
every turn of the wheel or screw OF the
splendid steamer is the result OF con-
sumption by fire OF the fuel in the fur
mace. The supply OF consumed brain
substance can only be had from the nu-
tritive particles in the blood, which were
obtained from the food eaten previously;
and the brain is so constituted that it can
best receive and appropriate TO itself
those nutritiye particles during state OF
rest, of quiet, and stiffness OF sleep.
Mere s,imulants supply nothing in them
selves; they goad the brain, and force il
to greater consumption of its substance,
until that substance has been so exhaust
ed that there is not power enough LETT to
receive supply, Just as men are so near
death by thirst and starvation that there
is not power enough left to swallow any
thing, and all is over.

saves distributing, but il can hardly DO
much in vogue; as nothing is saved in
the cost. aud the type cast IN that way
needs to be perfected and proved. We
saw an old Ephrata press ut work. 1t is
over one hundred years old. La lieu of
rollers, the ink is patted on with leather
balls. 1t was imported from the old
country, and the Declaration OF Inde-
pendence was printed on it.
We saw them make paper hangings
and weave beautiful silk badges with rich
devices. and notices, the letters on which
looked as il printed. In another place
they were blowing glass bottles and
hanging glass vessels and other images
inside which were larger than the mouth
of the bottle; and making wine glasses
with wine inside which might truly be
said TO be "a mocker." since it could not
be poured out, being enclosed between
the double layers OF glass. We saw how
peppermints. lozenges. caramels, and
various kinds of candy are manufactured.
One enterprising confectioner made
whole tea set of chocolate and set il in a
chocolate tray.
Proceeding in the direction from which
we heard strains of music, we found four
negroes at work in q tobacco factory,
singing their melodies Gas they always
do) the words and music OF which were
their own composition.
We saw machine Tor shearing sheep.
The two men exhibiting it sheared each
others heads, by way of illustration, so
closely that they resembled Chinese with
out their queues. We asked them if they
had ever performed tina! operation before.
The reply was: "Oh, yes every sum-
mer for three years. 1t grows out again
quickly and needs to be cut again in three
months"
The Mechanico Therapeutic Institution
Stockholm, sends apparatus designed for
mechanical operations on the body, for
the purpose OF restoring and retaining a
healthy condition OF the system. There
are u great many of these machines all
worked by q steam engine of about five
horse power. We tried some of them.
Being very weary, We sat down and
placed our feet on cushioned rod which,
when set in motion, vibrated with great
rapidity, giving Us thorough shaking
Tor lew moments, and Immediately our
WEAKNESS was all gone, and We were
fresh and strong again. Then we tried
another which WAS applied 10 the back,
and still another which we took hold OF
with our hands. 1t was very beneficial.
The effect produced was similar to that
caused by q galvanic battery without the
disagreeablness of the shock. 1t is called
the Swedish Health Promoter. and is
like the Lift Cure, though on larger
scale. Nervous persons derive great
benefit from it.
In the Mass. Marine Department we
saw figure dressed in the waterproof
suit worn by Capt. Paul Boyton when he
swan or flOated across the English Chan
mel, one hundred miles, in 1915. Capt.
Merreman, the inventor, was to 60 into
the water in his suit the afternoon we left.

The chief attraction in Machinery Hall
is the great Corliss engine which propels
several miles of machinery, besides
pumping huge mass of water over a
precipice of thirty feet showing the action
OF the cataract centrifugal pumps, and
making very good imitation of Niagara.
THIS huge engine cost $1,000 Corliss,
the inventor, is paid $4,000 for the use
OF it during the exhibition and the Com.
niissioners pay and keep 10 men to take
care of and to run it. Near by was the
Champion Ventilator, by which air is
pumped up through tube with such
force as TO keep lage flag flying up
right, and even to keep cannon ball
