i DEATH OF THE NER PIERCE CHIEF
Reuben, head chief of the Nee Perc,
nation, died at Lapwai on Sunday
morning last at o'clock after an i'll
ness of about three weeks. Reuben
has been well and favorably known to
the whites ever since the settlement oil
the country by the whites in 1861, and
has always been fast friend of the
whites. We well remember our first
advent here in June. 1861. We met
Reuben at Lewiston, and he was there
urging the other Indians to permit the
whites to go to tie mines without mo.
lestation, telling them that if The
white men dug out the gold, which
the Indian would not do, the Indians
could sell to them horses, cattle, corn
and vegetables and other articles
which they had to sell and get gold in
exchange. He thought it would be
much better for the Indians to have
the whites in the country and to trade
with them, than to oppose their com.
ng to the country. By this kind off
he induced the majority of
he Indians to quietly suffer the whites
o go through the reservation to the
nlnes. AT that time he himself was
lch in horses, and he sold many and
llred out many to ride to the mines
md to pack supplies there. Some.
mng over year ago he wax elected
'ead chief of the nation, and so far 40

las always been sincere and faitbfn,

Above us the sky spread golden and clear.
And ne bent his head and looked In my ewes
AS II he held me Of all most DEAR
Oh! II was sweet in the evening time!
And our pathway went through fields of wheat:
., Marrow that path, and rough the way,
out ne was near, and the birds sang true
ana the stars came out in the twilight gray.
sJh! II was sweet in the evening time!
oftly he spoke Of the days long past,
Softly Of blessed days to be;

TIE corn-i Id path was Eden to me.
oh! it was sweet in the evening time!
Grayer the light grew and grayer still
The rocks fitted home thu ough tn. purple shade
The nishtinSales sang where the thorns stood
As walked with him in the woodland glade,
oh! it was sweet in the evening time!
And the latest CLEANS Of daylight died;
Ny hand l. his enfulded lay;
We swept the dew from the wheat az we paesed,
For narrower. narrower. wound the way.
Oh! il was sweet in the evening eime' ~
He looked in the depths Of my eyes. and said,
Sorrow and cadness will come for u.s. sweet:
But together we'll walk through the fields OF life
Close as we walked through The fields OF

The London correspondent of the

illness: "Until his illness two years ago
he had never ceased his literary toll. II
was his hope to have continued his history
down to the end of the Thirty Years. War.
Labor of this sort was his greatest delight
in life. For more than twenty years he
rose every morning at six, and sat down
to his manuscripts and books. All that
came to q sudden end with his first stroke
of paralysis. He would never admit it to
be paralysis; he would not admit that all
hope of resuming his work was over. His
physician, Sir William Gull, called it
per.cxcitation Of the nervous system ;
which may be medically correct. It was
long before he could walk or use his RICH.
side or arm. Regaining some control
over them after while, he was still for.
bidder to use his brain. When at last
light reading was permitted he lost thu
sight Of one eye completely-the late pen

and unforgetting, exacted for his excuses

life became burden to him. may
perhaps add that after his wife's death he
seemed to have no wish but to rejoin her. =
