The Acknowledgements Department
of the State administration, according
to the Houston Telegraph, shows un.
mistakable evidences of gallantyy as
well as ability. Attorney-General Boone
lost his right arm, two fingers and half
of his thumb ON the left hand in battle,
and Captain Mccormick, his assistant,
lost leg They were both gallant
soldiers, and are now trained and
scholarly lawyers, and as genial gentle
men as it has ever been our pleasure to
meet They will reflect great credit on
the State, provided they do not starve
to death on that $4,000 per year,

TnE Cincinnati Enquirer and its city
cotemporary, the Commercial, like lesser
lights in the newspaper world, nave
their little quarrels occasionally, The
st, Louis papers are but conyalescing
from recent severe attack OF mutual
hostility and acrimonious insult, and
tho Porkopolis journals have learned
no lesson from their folly. The fight in
Cincinnati seems to be over the circula-
ton of the two rival papers. The I'm
garcr's last shot is rs follows; "Reward
-$l00.-If NJ, lIolstead, plundercr,wlIl
make affidavit that the circulation of
the Commercial is one-half now what it
was the day M D. Potter died we will
give him the above reward. We know
his circumstances, and believe the
amount to be quite tempting to his
cupidity. We have a curiosity to see
to what extent he will pcrjure himself
to secure the prize. If we were dealing
with any other than man whom we
believe to be thoroughly dishonest we
would make the amount one thousand
dollars

REAL canibals have been discovered
by missionaries on The islands of New
Britain and New Ireland, Off the north
cast coast of New Guinea. These ma.
tiyes are nude savages of the Oriental
negro type, who five more like beasts
than human beings, The Rev. George
Brown, Wesleyan missionary, reports
that hesawa women roasting the leg and
thigh OF man who had been killed in
u fight. In another hut smoke-dried
human flesh was hanging. In another
he counted thirty.Rvo jaw bones of men
and women Cannibalism seemed to be
common throughout the islands not as
religious rite, but as an ordinary
means of subsistence. The natives as.
sured the missionary that the accounts
heretofore published of race of tailed
human beings were true, and were Ger.
tain that these strange creatures were
not monkeys.

SPEAKING OF recent discoveries in in
vestigating the brains of criminals, the
London Medical Examiner says: In
all these pcculiarities the criminals
brain and skull are distinctly of n lower
type than those of normal men, and the
interesting question arises, how far arc

They have already

cies, AGO Indians. They have already
turned in over sixty carbines, from the
Custer fight, about the same number of
Winchester rifles, and also a lot OF
Sharp's sporting rifles, which they. got
from men they killed about the Black
Hills. 1t is not possible to tell what
Crazy Horse will have. The Indians
who surrendered also had many differ
ent patterns of rifles, and a large num-
Der of muzzle-loading rifles. 1t is an
interesting fact to notice that old In
dians, like old trappers that you meet
now in the country, are found with
muzzle-loaders in their possession.
They prefer them to the new tangled
breech-loaders, because the latter are
an innovation"
.sWhat became of the rest of Crazy
Horses band?"
"Some time ago some Indians came
into Spotted Tail Agency, and stated
that they had left behind them some
thirty lodges, who expressed their In
tention to take one more buffalo hunt,
and that they would come in at some
of the Missouri River Agencies. Since
then they have not been heard from,
but their whereabouts is not known.
The war in our experimenting
Platte-is nearly over, and the latest
information we have is that Crazy
Horses band will be in to surrender

The Indian AGENCY Question.

Our Washington dispatches state that
Brig. Gen. Crook yesterday had a long
conference with the Secretary of the
Interior and Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, in regard to the removal Of the
Sioux Agencies to the Missouri river
and OH the Indian question generally.
Secretay SchurZ and Commissioner
Smith entirely concur with Gen. Crook
in his view that the Indians should be
compelled to work for their rations,
and the conference was mostly with a
view to ascertain how the labor of the
Indians could he utilized in the interest
of both the Indians and the Govern
ment. No definite conclusion was
reached as to the precise location of
the new Agencies, but it seems certain
that the Indians will not be removed
until next autumn, as, during warm
weather, the Indians will be disposed
to struggle off on hunting expeditions,
but will be easily collected and held to-
gether on the approach of cold weather
Gen. Crook held several conferences
with Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan yesterday,
and what the result Of them will be
will be shown in the coming military
doings of the Department of the Platte.
The advices yesterday at military
headquarters were that Crazy Horse
and his band would be in either to-day
or tomorrow. Their condition is said
to be deplorable, and they are suffering
terribly from hunger.

Too Thin.

The thinnest yarn that has come to
us lately over the wires is the report
telegraphed yesterday from Omaha,
where the associated press agent saw
fit to inform the people of this great
country, that a letter had been received
in that city from Deadwood, announc-
ing that a Kearney junction surveying
party had arrived there with the infor-
nation, that the distance between Kear-
ney and Deadwood is t,ro hundred and
forty miles.
The Dakota outfit ought to get that
surveyor to run the western line for
them. He would locate Dakota's west
ern boundary in the Big Horn country,
probably.
