What he Thinks ofthe PrssPects u
Another Indian War.
Omaha (Eeb) telegram.
Gen. Crook left last night for Indian
territory on business connected with
Indian affairs. In an interview before
leaving he said, among other things,
that in bis opinion it would be dhdkeult
to maintain peace on the northern bor-
der and on the upper Missouri and
Yellowstone. Sitting Bull could not
longer remain On B.itish soil because
the English there have nothing to sup
ply the Indians with, and the scarcely
of Buffalo makes it ne cesssry for tho
Indians to follow the buffalo to their
accustomed tramping ground, which Is
on United States Territory. Whsnsvsr
Sitting Bull and bis Indians come down
that far, there will be more or less
trouble. The decrease of buffalo Is 20
rapid that the Indians will soon have
to find some other means Of subsistence,
and this will eventually compel them 70
rely on the government or to commit
depredstions. In his opinion, over one
hundred thousand buffaloes had been
slaughtered every year for tho last ten
yeaas, and the natural increase is very
much less than this. The largest por-
tion of buffaloes killed are cows, and
this ratio Of decrease in females rsnd
ers the finslsextinctisn Of the bufaloes
inevitable. Gen. Crook thought it would
be utterly impossible to prevent Sitting
Bull from crossing the border into the
United States, IS there were Eve hun
drsd miles Of unprotected territory.
There are troops on Tongue river, On
the Yellowstone, and on the upper
Missouri, and there is no doubt that
they can do much towsrd checking the
Indians from committing any serious
depredations. Still there will always
be in that upper country more or less
danger until Sitting Bui! is cleaned

The TR1BUNE's announcement Of the
death of "Liver-Eating' johnson on the
Yellowstone, caused the st. Louis Globe
boy to interview Gen. Sturgis, whose
guide he was during the pursuit of
Joseph. He said:

mouth Of the Saltwater. and there enga-
ged him as a scout on account Of his
knowledge of the country which we were
to 20 over last summer"
"What do you know OF his Indian
fighting, General?'
"Personally, know nothing; though,
from all heard, he had killed quite a
number of Indians, by whom he was
greatly feared" 49,.
'That's rather peculiar nom de qse1>e
he travels under, General"
''Well, yes," ," laughing, That's the name
he was known by, though, universally
"Liver-eating Johnson"-and I have no
doubt earned it honestly. He was as you
may suppose, quite a character. never
heard the full particulars of his liver-eat-
ing exploit; but have the best, reasons
in the world for believing its truth-he
told the story himself"

truth, then, among othersr' s.s.E -
"He was perfectly truthful man. In
all my dealingslwith him never knew
him to dev,ate line from the truth. He
never professed knowledge which he did
not possess. When it became necessary
for us to 60 into part Of the country
with which he was unacquainted, he at
once acknowledged his ignorance; and
when he was leading US through territory
which he professed to know, everything
he indicated concerning localities which
we were to enter-where there was water,
where there was none, where hill would
be found, where short cut could be
made-turned out exactly as he had
stated"
"What sort OF looking man was he,

Looked like quiet gong farmer.
He was man of about ffty-one years Of
age, stoutly and powerfully built, with
sober, resolute face, dark hair and eyes.

tNo he wasn't at all picturesque. He
might have been if he chose, but these
guides as rule make no ATTEMPT a. per-
sonal adornment, ,and Johnson in particular
was utterly regardless Of his clothes. He
was very carelessly dressed at all times;
consequently it was impossible to guess
at his merits from his personal appear
ance. Well, well, I'm sorry he's dead,
but docking at the slip again) it doesn't
say how he came to be killed. Have you

rally believed, prevailed in London dur
ing the night that official advices had
been received to the effect that the Rus

position on the Dardanelles and part of
the defences of Constantinople. Server
Pasha was interviewed at Adrianople.
He declared Turkey had been misled and
encouraged to tight on by promises Of
British support. He particularly accused
Beacons6eld and Layard Of encouraging
this belief and said he had the documents
which he would publish. He further de-
clared himself now partisan Of the Rus
sian policy and the alliance of his csllea-
CUES on the peace commission confirmed
his statements.
LONDON MINISTERIAL ORGANS
are furious over the reports of the occu-
patton of Constantinople and the Dar-

British, military and laval force could al
anymoment have occupied Constantinople
while Austria could have cut Russian
communications. To-day the. situation
is entirely altered. The British feet can
no longer advance.to Constantinople and
may find itself barred out OF Daroanelles.
The Gar can laugh at Austrian menaces
since his communications are open from
Constantinople to Odessa or Sebastopol.

Five Tell-Tale Skeletons.
La Epoca of Mexico. !


On the Goth of October last ranchero
in search of stray horse came upon a
group of five skeletons, firmly bound in
a standing position to so many mezquit
trees, in a dense chaparral near the
Iona de Borregos, within a short dis
lance from the high road, about one
days journey from Matamoras. The
skeletons were tied to the trees with
strips of raw-hide, and from their pc
culiar condition it was inferred that
they had been partially stripped and
tied up alive, and had been left to
starve. The skeletons were all close to-
gether, and in the feshless jaws of each
gag of rough mezquit wood was firmly
fastened. The victims, therefore, were
in full view of each other, and must
have persisted without even the poor
consolation of calling out for aid and
encouraging one another during their
agony.
AT the feet of one of the skeletons a
valuable gold watch and several papers
were found. One of the latter was
certificate of deposit, signed by we'll
known firm in Matamoros, for 81, 900, in
the name of Mrs. Rita Chapa de Men
doza. BY means of this clue the identi-
fication of the remains was effected.
Upon inquiry in Matamoras it was
learned that about the middle of Sep
TENDER last Mrs. Rita Chapa de Men
doza, accompanied by Miss Rumualda
Cara Oria and Miss Damiana Cara.
and her coachman, Gregorio, and Au-
gustin CULLEN, her footman, set out
from Matamoras for the interior. Moth
ing was heard from the party after their
departure, but no uneasiness had been
felt on their account, as it was thought
that they had reached their destination
in safety. 1t was known that it was
Mrs. Mendoza's practice to carry her
valuables in her bosom, and it is sup
posed that the robbers were frightened
off before they had time to search her
person thoroughly, and in that way
failed to get the watch and the papers.
There is no doubt as to the identity of
the remains, for by the hair yet remain
ing on the skulls, and a part of the
clothing found, it was ascertained that
two of the skeletons were of males, and
three of females.

Myths are but symbols. of Truth.

As the scholar sees in the vain but beauti-
full mythologies of the ancients the embodied
expression of the hungry human soul,
blindly cropping after the Infinite, so the
physician sees in that popular myth of the
sixteenth century the fountain of perpetual
health and youth-an expression of the
longings of suffering humanity for remedy
that should forever prevent the incursion Of
disease. The wilds of Europe were ran
sacked for this wonderful fountain, and
Ponce de Leon sought for it in the cypress
swamps and tangled everglades of our sunny
Florida. Men have searched for it every
where and anywhere but where it really is
in the human body itself. The blood is the
real fountain of perpetual health and youth.
When this source is corrupted, the painful
and sorrow producing effects are visible in
many shapes. The multifarious forms in
which it manifcsts itself would form sub
jects upon which | might write volumes.
But as all the varied forms of disease which
depend upon bad blood are cured, or best
treated by such medicines as take up from
this fluid and exerete from the system the
noxious elements, it is not of practical i'm
portance that | should describe each. For
instance, medical authors describe about
fifty varieties of skin disease, but as they
all require for their cure very sinai ar treat
ment, it is of no practical utility to know
just what name to apply to certain form
ohih uloCooOJ oo y Vu hhVW now OSob w tulc
it. Then again, might go on and describe
various kinds of scrofulous sores, fever
sores, white swellings, enlarged glands, and
ulcers OF varying appearance; might de-
scribe how yirulent poison may show itself
in various forms of eruptions, ulcers, sore
throat, bony tumors, etc. but as all these
various-appearing manifestations of bad
blood are cured by uniform means, / deem
such course unnecessary. Thoroughly
cleanse the blood, which is the great foun-
tain of life, and good digestion, fair skin,
buoyant spirits, vital strength, and sound
ness of constitution, will all return to us.
For this purpose DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery and PurgativePellets are pre-
eminently the articles needed. They are
warranted to cure letter, saltrheum, scald
head, st. Anthony's fire, rose rash, or cry
sipelas, ring-worms, pimples, blotches, spots,
eruptions, pustules, boils, carbuncles, sore
eyes, rough skin, scurf, scrofulous sores and
swellings, fever sores, white swellings, tu-
mors, old sores or swellings, affections of
the skin, throat and bones, and ulcers OF the
liver, stomach, kidneys, and lungs.

it. Send the head to the table very hot,
with melted butter poured over it, and
more in the tureen.
THE following process, adopted by the
farmers of Scotland, to cure butter is
highly approved: DIR. Anderson says,
~ have eaten butter cured after this
fashion that has been kept for three
years, and it was as sweet as at first"
Here is the method: Take two quarts of
the best common salt, one ounce of
sugar, and one ounce of common salt
petre; take one ounce of this compost
ton to one pound of butter, work it we'll
into the mass, and close it well up till
wanted for use. The butter cured with
this mixture appears of rich and mar
rowy consistence and fine color, and
never acquires brittle hardness nor
tastes salty. 1t must be noted, however,
that butter thus cured requires to stand
three weeks or month before it is used.
If it be sooner opened, the salts are not
sufficiently blended with it, and some
times the GOODNESS of the nitre will be
perceived, which totally disappears after
wards

The popular belief that France is a

excludes more potent beverages, will
have to be modified. NJ. Lunier finds
statistics indicating that the con-

cent, while the population has some
what diminished. Brandy is now taken
to facilitate the digestion of cider /;
while much more brandy is drunk, less
cider is used, but the consumption Of
beer has nearly trebled. The statistics
further show that accidental deaths,
habitual drunkenness and delirium

Mr.. Jefferson's Opinion of the Drama


"The drama" said Mr.. jefferson, one
day, when l was travelling with him,
I" has its ups and downs. Sheridan's
Tom and jerry in which there is not
one character, male or female, that is
not rogue, fool or a courtesan, and
in which the lowest slums in London are
represented, used to be played to audi
ences consisting of the very best people
of that city. Corinthian Tom knocked
over poor applewomen, and the specta-
tors thought it Jolly. No first-class com
edy would pay. Well, we have made
an advance upon those times, certainly
The Black Crook, at Niblo's you say :?
Yes, but the people went to see it, not
because it was bad, but because it had
beautiful scenery and beautiful dancers
and dancing. 1t was the beauty, not
the vice, that attracted them. 1t was
the novelty and freshness, as an epicure
often prefers clam bake and an ear of
green-corn to the most sumptuous din
ner. People really like the good better
than the evil they would rather see a
man who is walking tight rope succeed
than to see him tumble. Besides, after
The Black Crook in New York, we
had Julius Caesar for one hundred
nights. =.
"The American and English DRAMA"
he continued, =" is deficientin good plays
that is to say, in plays that are well
constructed, that are full of natural and
vared incidents, that, in a word, are in
teresting. We have some very fine ones /;
but we need more of the same sort. The
first principle of the drama is to enter
tain; if it likes it may instruct, but GER
tainly it should not degrade or demon
alize. | believe that some of what are
called the lower order of entertainments
are of value in educating coarse men up
to the point where they can appreciate a
higher order. Such entertainments
bring together class of persons who are
not prepared for an intellectual treat,
yet who need to be amused in their
leisure hours. How can man who en-
joys brutal sport-like cock-fghting
for example-enter into the spirit of a
play like 'The Rivals or Julius CesarT
An entertainment, however, should al
ways be little above the audience for
which it is intended; it should lead the
audience slightly, not follow the audi
ence. The future of the drama? Well,
its future will be like its pasta
series of ups and downs. When art is
well paid, art degenerates; actors become
stars and gather their several constel-
lations. When art is badly supported
by the public, actors are forced to COM
bine; their companies are amalgamated,
and their plays are better played"
