Who's afraid Of Indians after such

The old fellow evidently desired
to inspire the rest of the party
with share Of his indomitable
courage, and he succeeded in doing
SO to a great extent,
As the day was now far advanc-
ed, it was decided not to take the
road again until the following
morning.
Our camp was not badly located
for defence, there being no cover
ed approach to it except through q
narrow coulee near the river, and
ON this | stood guard during the
night.
No one obtained a wink Of sleep.
Soon after dark the Indians made
their presence known by 4 dismal
bowling in imitation of wolves and
cayotes. At one time ] heard, or
thought | heard, them sneaking
down the coulee, and discharged
my rifle once ia the direction Of The
sound, but heard nothing to justify
me il repeating the shot. Oar
anxious watch did not cease until
clear daylight, but the bowling dis
continued before the dawn d
morning, and when the prairie was
once more visible, there was not an
Indian insight. We madcan early
and hasty breakfast and was on the
road again before the sun appear
ed above the horizon.
The day proved excessively
warm, and before the sun was three
hours high the animals were yisibly
affected by the heat. We finally
saw that it would be necessary to
stop for water, but not wishing to
lose time, We concluded to wait
until we arrived at some point
where the road passed near the
river. w q soon came TO Tow
hill, and on reaching the top, we
saw a convenient watering place
ahead, formed by one Of those nu-I
merous horseshoe bends 50 com
mon along this narrow, crooked
stream. AT the lower or farther
end Of the horseshoe, the road
seemed to touch the river bank, and
the stream was plainly visible be-
yond, there being no vegetation Of
any kind to screen it from view
The ground that formed the bend
extended back for more than d mile.
and up TO the point mentioned was
skirted BY thick growth Of vii |

LAND GRANTS TO RAILRoADS NORTH
AND SOUTH.
St. Louis Republican.

The policy of granting lands to railroads
and to States in aid of railroads WAS ipau-
gurated in 1850 by the grant of SOS, ,O53
acres to the Illinois Central road, and
! O04.640 acres to the Mobile and Ohio road
Since then other grants have been made,
aggregatiog 209 ,663. .994 acres, or 327 ,2s5
square miles-which, if embraced in one
body, would form State larger than
Texas and nearly as large as five such
States as Missouri. In fact, the govern
ment has granted to railroads enough land
to form the area of an empire. A classi6
cation of the grants by States shows that
the South has received "A 963 Al9 acres, and
the North l64 zoo, SIS acres-the North
receiving more than three and half times
as m uch as the other section. Mr.. Caldwell,
of Kentucky, IN q speech in the House, on
the 2nd inst, in favor of the Texas and
Pacific guaranty, estimated that the North
has, in addition to receiving this enormous
grant of lands, drawn from the treasury
for public works and buildings $40 $50 6O9,
whIie the South has drawn only SlI GIG OO6:
the North has received $l9. l55 $50 for the
construction of canals aud wagon roads;
while the South has receiv, d only SO QSl,
9s2; and hat LeLr y 500, ,00O, 600 in bonds
and interest has been paid to the several
Pacific railroads. These figures are not
presented as u basis for demand for an
equalization of grants between the two eec-
tions, for there ought not to be any distri-
ouIAOn vi NoIiou0A i3HOES Oh q secLlonai
arrangement; but they may be fairly Of
fered as an answer to the oatcry against
the reasonable request for q Government
guarantee of the bonds of the Texas and
Pacific road. The Texas and Pacific road
is, indeed, Southern line, with many
Datural characteristics but the Union and
Northern Pacific roads, are both Northern
lines, and if the two latter, with their con-
nectiops, have been granted 5000, 900
acres of land and nearly 800, 600, 600 in
bonds and money, surely it is not unfair to
ask that the needed Southern lire shall be
assisted by the simple guaranty of the
bonds.

On April 26. 1877, the firm of Msrcusrd,
Andre 81 Co, bankers of Paris, remitted
$1,000 In bank notes TO Nine. Preczinska, at
Czeport, Poland, in an envelope which weigh
ed, with it's contents, at the Paris Post ONCE,
70 grammes. When 1t reached Czeport 1t con.
tanned five sheets of blank paper, and weighed
3Ogrammes, 6 decigrammes. Messrs. Marouard
have polices OF insurance with three Offices to
cover the rieks Of such trausmissons, and
when they made the loss known, one paid bat
two refused, alleging that it rested with the
bankers to prove that the envelope had really
contained the bank notes as alleged. The
Tribunal Of Commerce has given judgment for
the bankers. 1t points out that the books and
correspondence of the firm amply sustain that
the money WAS sent, aud, although there 10 no
evidence to prove that the seals of the pack.
nge were tampered with, the difference of
weight at Paris and ct Czeport, together with
the fact that the packet arrived at the
latter place several days late, oonvinces the
court that blank paper had been substituted |

THE MOTHER OF GOD.

The following beautiful tribute to the
Mother of God, is taken from a sermon
lately preached in Cork, ireland, by the
Very Rev. Father Burke, o. P. We give
it not alone for the edification it gives forth,
like flower exhalipg sweet perfume, but
as gem Of eloquence seldom equalled:
Aud of that nature which he thus honor.
ed, there was one that He loved and hon.
ored above all that He had created in
Heaven or on earth, one in whom all His
love was centered, one in whom all His
honor was invested and upon whom all His
power was poured forth that che might be
and that one was His own Virgin and Inn
maculate Mother Mary, and for her was
reserved that my site blessing perpetuated
npon this earth. God looked down from
Heaven upon her and saw the spotess and
Immaculate Virgin, over whose beautiful
soul no shade or thought of sin had ever
passed, the one spotless Lily, the one
Flower of Flowers, sending forth such odor
OF sanctity that even the Almighty God of
Heaven was delighted with her breath.
Biesslngs came upon her because she was
a virgin of virgins, the parest and holiest
of all, and God blessed her, saying, "Thou |
shalt be mother, and thy Son shall be the |
Son of God" She was a mother crowned |
with the glory of maternity because of
her vlrginal purity. She was virgin, the |
wonder of earth for the miracle wrought
in herself, the wonder of Heaven for the |
grace and glory bestowed on her /; touch
Mary and it was as if you had touched the
pupil of the Divine Sons eye; dishonor
Mary and you dishonor the God who loved
to honor her.
