They bid me give my heart to fame

For though l move, and act, and think,

A nightmare dream enfolds my BRAIN

TO life again.
All, WHEN | wake, l shall behold, all

$40! The Poor Indian.o

The United States government is having its
hands full again with gigantic Indian war,
which threatens to spread all over the terrific
ries of Idaho, Arizona, Oregon, New Mexico
and part of Wyoming. The Indian tribes of
the great southwest seem to have massed
for bloody contest with their white oppres-
sors, and with determination to carry the
war into the camp of their enemy. The fire.
quent Indian outbreaks in the sparcely settled
portions of the country enumerated, are the le-
gitimate results of the policy, or rather want
of policy, pursued by the United States gov
ernment with the Indians.
1t is matter of astonishment to every in
telligent mind, that Congress does not adopt
policy for the government of the Indian tribes
of North America, similar to that Of the British
government, with the Indians in Canada. The
British Parliament with commendable sa-
gacity, as we'll as humanity, has long ago
treated the Indians within their Canadian ter
ritory, as citizens, and not as outlaws. There
is no distinction made by British laws between
the white settlers and the Indian, or Aboligi-
nal inhabitants. All are treated as citizens,
protected alike in their persons and estates,
and held amenable alike to the laws that gov
ern the country, and the result is perfect quiet
and constant progress in the art of civiliza-
ton among the Indian tribes of Canada
similar policy, if pursued by the United
States, with the Indians, would work like re-
suits, and the bloody massacres by the whites
of the Indians would cease. thus saving mil
lions of money annually, and thousands Of
human lives. 1t is a marval that some bold,
brave and able man in Congress, would not
make this question one of life time, and thus
cover himself with glory by performing hu-
manitarian work that would rebound to the
honor of the nation and the age. With the
example of the British government, as exem-
pliied in the treatment of the Canadian Indi-
ans, the work would be easily accomplished.
All that is required to inaugurate the new
system, is courage and perseverance on the
part of some real true patriot and philanthro-
phist, in the person of an American Statesman,
to accomplish work that every consideration
of humanity and sound craftsmanship so
loudly calls for. We have long looked and
hoped for realization of this thought in
America; and we still hope to see it realized.
Our sympathies, with and for the poor Indi-
ans, have always been active. In fact we
have always felt that they have been more
sinned against than SHINING, even with all that
can be laid to their charge. They are made
the dupes of bad, designing men, who obtain
authority from the government to trade with
them; but who do nothing but cheat them,
and if they resent this treatment they are

Bayard Taylor the New American
Minister AT Berlin.


The people of the German Empire, but
more especially the educated portion of the
Germans, are highly delighted with the selec-
ton, by the United States Government, of the
new Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of
His Majesty Emperor William. The delight
of the Germans at the selection of Mr.. Taylor
arises not so much from the fact of his familiari
ty with the German language, which will make
him a favorite, as that ne is an accomplished
scholar and experienced traveller and writer
of great repute all over the world.
The German newspapers do not disguise
the pleasure experienced by the presence of
gentleman, as the diplomatic representative
of foreign country at the capital of the En-
pire, who has worldwide reputation for
talents and scholarly requirements of a high
order. About the time that Minister Taylor
arrived at Berlin, one of the leading daily
newspapers the Tdybah, had two of Taylor's
newspaper the Gegen,cdrt published long and
interesting biographical sketch of the life of
! the new Minister, and among other things was
reproduced in the same paper poem written
by Mr. Taylor, on the battle of Sedan, which
has heightened in a great degree the enthusi-
asm of the Germans for its author, because it
is exceedingly pro German. Mr. Taylor we
know will make an able and popular Minister
been represented by some of her very best
citizens at the Court of Berlin. The first
| Minister was no less parsonage than John
| Quincy Adams, afterwards President of the
United States. Afterwards Mr.. Wheaton the
eminent publcist represented his Government.
In 1867 Mr. Bancroft the historian held the
post, and latterly Mr.. Bancroft Davis, gen.
tleman of fine abilities and consummate
diplomatist, was American Minister at Berlin,
so that Mr.. Taylor comes in to a position that
has been filled by men from his own country
of emiuent abilities, all of whom are regarded
by the German people as rejecting honor upon
both countries. 1t were we'll if President
Hayes had been as fortunate in all his foreign
appointments as that of the gifted Bayard
! Taylor. But such thing is not to be ex-
pected, because it too often happens that poll
teal influence aud personal friendships, urged
on by personal opportunities succeed in send
ing unworthy and incompetent men abroad as
Ministers from the United States, and this is
to be lamented by all who desire the great
Republic to honor herself by the appointment
of her best men to foreign missions. We honor
the President for two of his appointments,
viz: Bayard Taylor to Berlin and John Welct
to the Court of st. James. These are the
right men in the right place, who come up to
the full measure of the Jeffersonian standard
of honesty and capacity.

Correction.

In our editorial article in last weeks issue,
under the head "The change of the Ministry "
we were in error when we said, "the people
without exception in this city, were taken by
surprise when it was ascertained that it
had pleased His Majesty to ask the Ministers
for their portfolios, and that their successors
had actually been commissioned" The error
consisted in the words of the above sentence
which are printed in italics, because we are
informed that the fact of the resignation of
the Ministers was known to many persons,
indeed, was no secret for twenty-four hours
before their successors were either selected
or commissioned. We make this correction
in order to remove any wrong impression
that might have been created by the express
sions used by us in our article.

The North China Famine.


THE accounts of the ravages of the famine
in North China, down to April last, are really
heart-rending. A correspondent of the press
agency from Shanghai, under date of April l3
last, describes the scenes of suffering in the
following manner:
The North China famine still continues the subject
of deepest interest. China famine is thing,
writer who describes it in the London Spectator
that has befaen humanity for the last 200 years, is
merely stating a simple fact There is often deal
of exaggeration if not imagination, in accounts of
great disasters but the records of the suffering caused
BY the present famine reach from the Host trust
worthy sources, the statements of the foreign mis-
sionares who have made 1t their duty to traverse
the famine districts bearing out the official reports
of the natives. Notwithstanding all that has been
written about the prevalence of infantcide there is
no doubt that the Chinese love their ospringas much
as other people do theirs But fearful have been the
suerngs that parents have in some instances slain
and eaten their own children. Ii Chung Hang,
Governor of Chilli, of the famine provinces has
memoralized the Emperor, drawing attention TO the
heavy consumption of food stus entaied by the dis
tlation of spirits, that industry being carried to
n large extent in his province. There are about
1000 distileres and he estimates the distillatiOn
takes away between two and three millions of ind-
viduals' daily food. During previous famines dis
tillatiOn was stopped. and Ii Hung Chang recon-
mends the adoption of the now until the
famine ceases.

Times in the United states.

In the United States, times seem not to i'm
prove much Complaint is everywhere prev
alent of hard times, stringency of money and
want of employment of laborers and operatives.
Politics appear to be the only employment for
the idle, and the political cauldron is seething
and boiling with its usual fury. Political dis
cussion in newspapers, and on the stump in
the Union, is the safety valve for the pent up
restlessness of the people of the States; were
it not for this outlet, there would be some
fearful explosions. Extraordinary efforts are
being made among artisans and laboring peo-
pie, to raise colonies to emigrate to the States
South and West, and many of these organiza-
tions are quite successful in filling up their
numbers and are going to the States of Texas,
Florida and the country watered by the Co
lumbia river The results of such enterprise
will tell upon the future of the countries to
which these hardy, industrious and intelligent
people go, and consequently, will in time
fill up the waste places of the South and south
west; where new States will spring up as the
natural result of this emigration.

MuliIrn i'm ParvO.

WHEN the Honorable Mr.. Rhodes sat down
the other day in the Assembly, at the conclu-
sion of his speech on the foreign relations be-
tween the Hawaiian Kingdom, and Her Bri-
tannic Majesty's Government, as detailed in
the report of Mr.. Carter, our late Envoy tc
Great Britain. the Minister of Foreign Rela-
tions of this Government, is credited with
having said, that he was not aware till that
moment, that Her Britannia Majesty's Gov
ernment had an Advocate in that body" This
was multum in parvo. In other words, put
ting into sentence volume of meaning with
goodly seasoning of what may be aptly
termed biting sarcasm in it. To put it more
mildly, it was at least epigrammatic.

The Failure Life Question.

WE call especial attention to the discourse,
delivered in Westminster Abbey, London,
England. November, 1877, by Rev. F. W. Far
rar, D. D., Canon of Westminster, and re-de-
liVered by Rev. S. Edger, B. A., in the Lo-
rane Street Hall, Auckland, and published in
the Auckland Weekly News, of June Is, 1878
There has been so much said and written
about this celebrated discourse, that we are
glad to be able to spread it before our readers
that all who desire may see that the sermon
is not only well written composition, but is
replete with learning and deep thought,
whilst it is at the same time full of the purest
piety and holy reverence for all that is sacred
and god-like in evangelical religion.
We venture to assert that no man or woman
