the NEW YEAR.

Silent and white
Thro' the dim night
Fell the soft snow,
Now fast, now slow,
Making the posts
Like sheeted ghosts
Robing the woods
In finer goods
Than ever were spun by mortal skill,
Aud bleached on tse sunny side of the hill,
The warp is mist and the wool is air;
The world is dressed like bride, in white
Although the poor old year died last night.
Drop not tear
On the cold bier
Of the brave year
Whose corse is here
His work is done,
And battles won,
And he will be
Named with the free
Thro' future time
For deeds sublime.
We welcome here
The newborn year.
The snow that falls
From the gray walls
Of the thick clouds
Is not for shrouds
For the days fled,
Or the years dead.
TITS the white fleece,
Emblem of peace,
Sent down to cheer
The soft young year.
May no red vein
Make red stain
On the robe white
Wove last night.
So ring the soft
Sweet bells aloft,
Ring the true chime
Of the good time.
Ring loud and clear
For this New Year.

The INDIANS Rcimso to E,eturm.

The conference between Sitting Bull and
his associate chiefs and tho commissioners
sent by tho United States Government to treat
for his surrender took place in tho presence of
British officers, aud its peculiar incidents bavo
boen 80 fully and graphically reported that
tho story will be read oil tho world over.
Tho gist Of tho affair seems to be this: General
Terry asked the Indians to surrender them
solves and return to United States territory,
receiving immunity for their past transgros-
sions and consenting to eettlo upon rosorva
ton to bo selected for them. Tho answer of
tho chiefs was straight to tho point. They
said that they had been cheated out Of their
lands and deceived by false promises, and TINT
oar people wero liars whom they would mover
trust again. Sitting Bull said in plain tcrms
to tho Commissioners that they wero liars,
and that they mighe rs we'll stop talking and
go about their business. Tho Snntco chief,
who spoke after him reiterated tho charge of
fnlschood, saying sontontiously but bitterly,
"You como over her to tell us lies" A Yank
ton warrior. who acted as if no wero drunk,
had nevertheless sense enough to re echo tho
jibe. The Crow was somewhat moro cautious.
and renewed tho charge by implication. If
tho squaw who was put forward to pour insult
upon the Commissioners fniled To denonnco
thom and their people rs liars, it may be
assumed that she forgot part Of her lesson
in tho unwontod excitement of tho moment.

the Democrats to entertain tho same opinion.

causes tho fear Of party disturbance. The
expressed vows Of tho President and of tho
dissatisfied Republicans are so fur apart that
there must be q giving away on ono sdo or

TIE LARGEST SNAKE IN AMsRGcA.---Wc
wcro yesterday Informed by Mr.. Smith, living
on Guapnw hayon, that while he and his son
William. aged about thirteen years, were
out in the woods on Monday afternoon last
driving NJ their cattle. thnir attention were
attracted by the bicating Of calf some dis>
tancc from them. Thinking probably that
the poor animal had begged, thoy started to
it's assistance. They had gone short dis
tancc down the bayou when they discovered n
ycarling about two years old, in tho coils Of a
huge snake. After discharginS about dozen
yollcys each, Mr.. Smith and his son succeeded
in dispatching. one of tho largest snakes ever
seen in Louisiana. and. probably. in North
America. 1t measured 81 feet in length, and
tho body measured 10 fcot from the head, 80
inches in circumference, and about the centre
of the body ~ inches. 1t has regular sue
cossion Of spots. black and yellow, alternating
extending from its lead to its tail, while either
side is q deep purple Mr.. Smith has no idea
what kind Of q snake it is. but thinks it must
be of tho boa constructor species. No doubt
this snake has for many years inhabited that
section of country and doprcdated upon the
young calves and auimals that camo within
its reach Tho skin Of this huge snake has
been preserved and will be sent to Shreveport
and put on exhibition. .-Sircuepoz (La.)

We do not believe in carrying n drug.shop
