lished in New York, has created marked ex-
element among publishers. 1t was begun in
May, 1875, as local paper, at Spring Valley.
Rockland county, and on Jan. 1, 1877, removed
to New York. The first issue in that year was
498 copies, using twenty-five pounds of white
paper, postage 80 cents, while the issue Of
May 20 inst. was 1856, 900, using near nine tons
of white paper, and paying $500 postage
This has been done by discreet but bold
method Of advertising. The company expect
to reach circulation Of 1900, 600 in 1880, and
propose to expend 100000 in advertising to
secure that end. 1t during the months of

The Origin Of obelsanoes.

Speaking OF a party Of Shoshones sur
prised by them, Lewis ana Clarke say:
"The other two, an elderly woman and
a little girl, seeing we were too near
for them to escape, sat ON the ground,
and, holding down their heads, seemed
as II reconciled to the death which they
supposed awaited them. The same
habit of holding down the head and in
wiling the enemy to strike, when all
chance of escape is gone, is preserved in
Egypt to this day." Here we are shown
an effort to propitiate by absolute SUBJ
mission; and from acts so prompted
originate obeisances.
When, at the outset, in illustration of
the truth that ceremony precedes not
only social evolution, but even human
evolution, named the behavior of a
small dog which throws itself on its back
in presence of an alarming great dog,
probably many readers thought 1 was
putting ON this behavior somewhat
forced construction. They would not
have thought 80 had they known that
parallel mode of behavior occurs among
human beings. Describing the Batoka
salutation, Livingstone says, "They
throw themselves on their backs on the
ground, and, rolling from side to side,
slap the outside of their thighs as ex-
pressions of thankulness and welcome"
Whether or not consciously adopted for
this reason, the assumption of this atti-
tude, which implies, You need not
subdue me, i am subdued already" is
the best means of obtaining safety. Re.
sistance generates antagonism and
arouses the destructive instincts. The
stronger animal or the stronger man be-
comes less dangerous when the weaker
animal or man passively submits; be-
cause nothing occurs to excite the pas
sion for victory. Hence, then, the nat
ural genesis of this obeisance by pros
tration on the back, which, perhaps,
more than any other position, makes
self-defense impracticable. i say per-
haps, because another attitude may be
instanced as equally helpless, which
more deliberately displays complete sub
jugation. cat Tonga Tabu.
the common people show their great
chief the greatest respect i'm
aginable by prostrating themselves be-
fore him, and by putting his foot on
their necks." The like occurs in Africa.
Laird says the messengers from the
King of Fundah "each bent down and
put my foot on their heads, and threw
dust over themselves" And among an
cient historic peoples this position,
originated by defeat in battle, became
the position assumed in acknowledgment
of submission. Spencer, IN

The NeZ Perces.

Chief Joseph and his tribe of Nez
Perez Indians, now prisoners OF war at
Fort Leavenwortb, Kan, have sent to
the President, through Gen. Saxton, of
the army, an application to be released
and transferred back to their old agency
in Oregon. They claim that their war
against the United States was provoked,
and that it was conducted on their part
according to the rules of civilized war;
fare. They recall the fact that they
took no scalps; that they buried the
dead that fell into their hands according
to civilized mode; that they treated
their prisoners with generosity, and that
they did nothing except defend them
selves against the military, and when
they surrendered it was unconditional,
and with the intention of remaining for
ever the peaceful subjects of their con-
querors. The petition was discussed at
a late Cabinet meeting and favorably
considered. IL was the original inten-
ton to locate Chief Joseph and his men
in the Indian Territory, but the Senate
struck ont of the Indian Appropriation
bill the provision for their removal.
Secretary McCrary intends TO tempt
some of the Eez Perez young men away
from their tribe by Offering to educate
them at Hampton University, Virginia.

On New Years eve, 1873, at tho West

DILLON shot and killed Mr.. JOHN II. D1LLA-
Der. The homicide was unprovoked, and
contained every element, IL ROMANO Dill
LON was sane, requisite to constitute muir
der in the first degree, the punishment of
which, under our law, Is death
But Mr.. DILLON was adjudgod TO be in
sane and consequently irresponsible, and
was sent to an asylum for the insane From
this institution he has recently been dis
charged. The doctors say he is cured. and
he is no longer under any more restraint
than he was before he killed Mr. DILLABER
We do not sympathizc with the vulgar
prejudice against the plea Of insanity. II in
many cases that plea has been abused, in
others. through a timid Difference to popular
sentiment, IT has not been set up where IL
ought TO have been. There is something
shocking in the last degree in the idea Of
putting person 10 death for an act COM
mitted when reason was dethroncd.
On the other hand. it hardly requires ar
gumcnt to convince any one that the course
pursued in the case Of Mr.. DILLON is such
as ought, by law, 10 be made impossible.
We assume that Mr.. DILLON was insane
when he killed Mr.. DILLABER. We have no
cavil To make NJ the decision of the com
petcnt tribunal which passed upon that
point. We assume also that Mr.. DLLoN
presents now, every appearance Of sane
man. Yet we maintain that neither now nul
| at any future period Of his life, ought he &c
be set at liberty and allowed to 20 without
restraint.
| Why not
Because in the former instance the homici

Of his insanity. 1t must have been SO, or hi,

kind which breaks out suddenly in an un

| can foretcllat what day or hour or moment
this may happen. Surely, such n person
ought not to Toe at large, uncontrolled an,

not at liberty. His enlargement is ncon
