FoaT WALSH, Northwestern Territory, Oct.
B-Siucc the return OF Mal. Walsh from SIT
thug Bulls camp---wlore liz weut to cacoEt Sit
tErg Bull aud his cslieis after thclr recent cob
ference with thu United States Commission
somo very interesting disclosures have been
made, which throw new light IN the disposition
Of tho Sioux chiefs, aud the Me- ferce war.
Mai. Walsh IL now of tho opinion that Sitting
Dull aud the chiais who accompanied him ilcre
to meet tho Commissioners went away again
without having received clear idea Of lust
what 1t WAS that tl.e United States Government
psuposed 10 them. 1lo believes that tho al-
lress Of tho Commlsaiouers which WAS read
and interpreted to them In Afteeu mln-
utes, should have been explained to
them 10 detail during tho ensuing two
days; that tho lnutaus should hayo
beea informed a. definitely a. possible what
their horses and aEtns .wouid br!ng II sold; also
what number q sattls A., camp 81 M8 lodgss
Bat tho Indian mind was left to dwell on that
clauso only ot tho Commissioners address
which prescribed aa = condition q thelr return
horscs must bu sold. 1t did not grasp thu tdea
Of compensation to tho owners from tho sale.
During Nal. Wnlsh's Visit to Sitting bulls

This puts q uaFel constitution upon the de-

toward the COMMISSIONER. 1t appears 10 show
that Tho arrival of the Nes 'Eerco fuxtttycs It
tbs Sioux camp was most inopportune, sluco It

Among the many anecdotes related
of Curran, we cannot help thinking the
following, bearing upon the imperti-
nence and assumption of Judge Robin
son, rs among the most telling and
characteristic attacks unprecedented
satire upon "bloated empiric" and
"puiled pretencc," that ever even Cur
ran afforded TO the world. This same
Judge Robinson, according TO Lord
Brougham, "was the author of many
stupid, slavish, and scurrilous political
pamphlets; and, by his dement's, raised
TO the eminence which he thus disgrac-
ed Curran. very soon after being
called to the bar, on some statement
made by Judge Robinson (beiore whom
he was pleading), observed that she
had never met the law, as laid down by
his lordship. in any book in his libra
ry." THAT may be, Sir said the
Judge; "but suspect that your library
is very small Curran replied, 81 find
il more instructive, my lord, to study
good works than to compose bad ones.
NV books may be few, but the title-pa-
ges give me the writer's names, and
my shelf is not dsgraced by any such

are ashamed To own them" "Sir,

What win Surprise an Indian.

The Indian has little actual and COM
mon experience of many articles of
civilized manufacture, the simplest of
which is as entirely beyond hi, cOmpre-
hension as the most complicated. He
would be a simple exclamation point
did he show surprise at everything new
to him, or which he did not understand.
He goes TO the other extreme, and rare
ly shows or feels surprise at anything.
He visits the states, looks unmoved at
the steamboat and locomotive. People
call it stoicism. They forget that to his
ignorance the production of glass bot
tie Is as inscrutable as the sound OF the
thunder. A piece of gaudy calico is a
marvel: common mirror miracle.
lie knows nothing of the comparative
difficulties of invention and manuiact-
ure. and to him the mechanism of To-
onmntive is not in any way more a
matter of surprise than that OF Il wheel

Flow of Sap in Maple Trees.

some time ago Amherst Agricultural
College made up its mind that the maple
sap from which sugar was made in the
spring was laid up in the tree the year
before. In order to find out if this was
true, a maple tree, one December, hav-
ing been guyed so as 10 keep il upright
was sawed of near the ground and the
end of the trunk Theoretically sealed
with wax. Thus the tree stood until
spring, when il was tapped and yielded
its average amount of sugar, although
the tree had been severed from It's roofs
upwards of three months. A young
maple was cut in the winter. brought
into the greenhouse and tapped. II
soon began to flow sap, and continued
to do so for thirty-siX hours, when the
flow stopped. The tree was then taken
ont ofdoors and allowed to freeze again
Upon being brought back to the green
house the sap resumed its flow and con-
tinued to do so as long as the alternate
freezing and thawing processes Were
kept up.
