SOMETHING To THiSK AHoUr.-PorhAps
you have thought about what we intend 10
speak Of before this, and perhaps you have
not What we saw and heard IN the Pres-
bytcrian church last Sabbath evening
merely rcyiycs old fancics, which might
prove realities II similar disposition cE-
lists among all those concerned. We, with
legion OF others, are enthusiastic lovers
Of music, though not able to render !, our
selves 1t Is the most valuable agent that
can Do employed for entertainment, and
the strongest agent in doing good Lat
Sabbath night several new pieces Of music
were rendered by a choir Of afty male
voices, and notwithstanding very little
previous practice had been INDUCED In 1t
was we'll rendered and contributed moo; IN
making the service success. We know
positively this, there are at least as many
more equally excellent male voices IN this
town which we're not represented on that
occasion. We certainly would not be
short Of the truth 10 say that there are al
lcas; hfty good and partially trained
female voices in this place. Now, II all
these musical persons would come together
what a choir there would be One hun
drcd and ffty voices And IL brief
practice be added TO their present training
what delightful melody would be ibe re.
suit 1t Is said that there Is = social wall
Of partition which prevents the several
olcmcfts of our town in commingiing for
such a purpose. This, however, is more
fanciful than real and such a refining
and eleyating art, such an instructive and
pure pleasure as music should destroy these
imaginary walls and make all things even.
The experiment has proved successful in
many places, and we are convinced that
Bellefontc has superior musical talent II
should certainly be the most delightful
pleasure to study the grand works Of the
great masters in music, and when this
large choir is prepared 10 render them no

audience who would seek the benefit Of
listening 20 a rehearsal All that Is nee
essary 70 accomplish this result Is for the
leading musicians TO issue invitations for
others 10 meet with them, and the invita-
tions will be responded to in manner that
will astonish the natives and love Of the
art, coupled with desire to do good,
should be with some a sufficient incentive.

THE PEgKINs MURDER.
An Indian Confesses to the Murder Of
Mr. PeTkIns-The TreRchery of
Chief Moses, the Devil
1ncarnate,

SAN FRANCIsco, April 23.-At Yokima
City, Saluskin, an Indian, was arraigned before
Justice Beck yesterday for the murder of the
Perkins family. SaIuskin made confession
relating to the murder with every detail. 1t
Is very evident from his account of
after events that families last summer
had a narrow escape from the bloody mas
sacre. Chief Moses had his runners out
watching the progress of the fighting be-
tween the Snakes, Umatillas and soldiers
Had the hostiIes been successful, they would
have crossed the Columbia, and Moses would
have joined them. In the anticipation Of In
dian successes, Moses had previously arranged
his warriors to surround the settlements,
especially in SnoHquaIemil and Natchez
passes. He would then have formed his
forces from the south, and brought them to
bear on the settlements, with 4ekima city as
his objective point. Nothing but the
presence of the gunboats on the Columbia
saved the lives of the population in these
val eys. The people here are very indignant
at Moses's tpeachery. During the time of his
talk with General Howard, when Howard
demanded The murderers, Moses said he did
not know where they were, but would find
and deliver them. From this confession, all
the Modoos were on the spot. Moses after
ward ordered them away, and they left.

THE CRIMSON FLAG.
How 1t waved In Chicago Sunday
Demonstration by the Socialists in
Opposition to the state Militia
Bill Pending in the Leeis-
latUre,

Chicago special to the Cincinnati Enquirer,
2lst: The socialists of Chicago made a street
demonstration of their military strength as a
protest against the bill now pending in the
Illinois legislature prohibiting the organiza-
ton, drill or parade of other than the regular
volunteer militia, organized under State law,
and, Of course, the troops of the United
States. Among the crowds of people who
thronged the line of the procession hand bills
were distributed bearing the following:
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty
Citizens, stand by the constitution of your
country"
''The militia bill is the product of a con-
spiracy to overthrow the republic that has
been cemented by the blood of our fore
fathers, and to dragoon the working people
of Illinois into abject submission"
The turnout included three hundred aud
eighty men, armed with muskets or rifles,
about half having weapons which had been
converted from muzzie-loaders to breach
leaders. The uniform was very simple.
Perhaps fifty wore dress-uniform gray coat
and pants or dark green clothing, the rest
wore blue cotton blouse, with belt and a
haversack made of canvas. There were
many boys In the ranks, but also many men,
whose erect bearing and steady marching
showed that either IN this country or in Eu-
rope they had seen powder burnt and heard
shot fired In earnest. Judging from their
speech, from thu banners which they carried,
and which were mostly printed in foreign
languages, and from their appearance it may
be pronounced that full ive-sixths of the men
we're of foreign birth. Besides the men in
uniform there were four hundred members of
different labor societies, making the entire
organized mass number about eight hundred
The following are some of the inscriptions
printed upon the transpareucies in German
and English: "Dekalb," ''Kosciusko,' ~
Washington, Jefferson, " 'Patrick Hen
ry," Citizens, wake up to the true situa-
ton" ''Save the Republic, - Hereafter the
Militia bill will be tool in the hands of the
despot, they become mobiles and you become
serfs, "All true Republicans will Join us"
'By this bill the Governor will do more than
King William ''See how they smooth the
way for His Majesty Ulysses Grant" s'They
want Grant for Dictator, "If you accept
this bill Chicago will soon be declared in a
state of seige." Mounted upon a wagon
stood several members OF the lehr and wehr
vereip, with baYonets fixed, and below ap-
peared the explanation: 1--WE Protect the
Constitution" At the rear end of the wagon
stood the figures '1776." The procession
was one of the most orderly and quiet that
has ever taken place In Chicago. Those who
took part attended to their own business, and
acted as though they meant business. 1t at
tracted much attention along the line of
march, but among citizens in general was
little known or little thought Of It's effect
will be to render yet more certain the passage
OF the pending militia bill.
