THE GREAT TRANSMISSION.
A Spotted Tail Indian fs Guilty.. and is
Sulnmarily Slain by his Victim.

The Indians are keeping pace with the
times-with all the modern innovations that
mark and mar the social fabric. They are
initiative, and readily fall into the ways and
habits of those who are sent among them to
minister to their temporal and spiritual
welfare. 1t is true, there are no Boss
Tweetls and Boss Shepparls among them,
which is counted for by the fact that they
have heretofore had no good examples Of
these characters among them Under the
new regime, however, we have good reason
to believe that the Indians will soon furnisl,
good limitations Of these great financial lights.
While they are deficient in this respect, they
give good evidence that they have not been
indifferent to the influence, or condition, or
teaching, or whatever it may be called, that
has of late characterized the great ecclesia as
tical teachers Of the east as well as of few
of the smaller fry in the moral atmosphere
of the west. Example has led them into the
paths OF the ''nest-hider," and made them
guilty of the "great transgression." The
particulars Of case in point have lust
reached us.

an addition to its marine interests +" in the
shape Of the steamer Floyd, which, the

when the full crew of two able bodied sea-
men is aboard, is considerable loaded. To

that the addition is bigger than the afore-
said marine interests"
The steamers Nellie Peck and Yellow
stone came near being licked up by a prairie
fire somewhere in the neig ghborhood Of Sully
on their way up. They got caught in a mar
row channel, close to the river bank, where

dicious management that the boats and
their cargo were saved.

A Great Evil.

The foe of American social life is in the
tendency to luxury and etfeminacy among
the well-to-do young wome1 OF our
American cities and large towns. They
do not realize how this dreadful mania for
expensive pleasures, and life of alternate
idlcness and amusement, is destroying
their health, abolishing true marriage,
feeding the flame Of gross sensuality and
intemperance among young men, and sad
dening the hopes of the best parents in
the land Some Of them will never know
it in this world. But most of them
have no real purpose to waste their lives
in this wretched way. And it is II high
crime in mothers, teachers, ministers OF
religion and the public press to pander to
this insanity. Thousands of good-hearted
young girls are sacrificed every year, when
a little wise and loving guidance could
save them. But we feel that they should
be told that unless they change this life
they will pass away like the flowers of
June, and more hardy and resolute class
occupy their places.
American society will she'd every class
Of tritlers, male or female, that does not
do its work. the forests shed their with

dream of social indulgences; learn to live
out of doors; to build up their health; to
cultivate more simple tastes in dress, and
more moderation in pleasure; study do
nestle economy; study social skill and
tact; fit themselves for the noblest posi-
tons ever yet offered to their sex, and
learn that woman is the soul of American
