A GENTLEMAN from the Northwestern
British Possessions thinks that there
will be trouble with the Indians in that
country yet, it being only question of
time. Buffaloes are becoming scarce, and,
as these animals are the principal source
of livelihood for the red men, the ma
tives feel the pinch of want at times,
and, when they do, they drop into the
settlements and demand food. Another
cause Of complaint by the Indians is the
presence Of the Sioux, led by Sitting
Bull, within the border, who are killing
off the bufaloes by the hundreds and
driving them further back into the
wilds. The Crees and B1ackfeet feel
inclined to unite and drive the Sioux
back into the States again-feeling that
the strangers have no right to come in
upon their farm.

LAKE ERIE is only 60 to 70 feet deep.
But Lake Ontario is 592 feet deep, 230 feet
below the tide level of the ocean, or as
low as most parts of the Gulf of St.
Lawrence, and the bottom of Lakes
Huron, Michigan and Superior, although
the surface is much higher, are all, from
their vast depths, on level with the
bottom of Ontario. Now, as the dis
charge through the River Detroit, after
allowing for the probable portion car
ried off by evaporation, does not ap-
pear by any means equal to the guam
tity of water which the three upper
lakes receive, it has been conjectured
that subterranean river may run from
Lake Superior, by Huron, to Lake On
tario

THE GREAT ELECTORAL FRAUD
MR., TfLDEN'S DESPATCH To THE IRON
CITY CLUB OF PITTS
BUEGH.

PITTSBURGH, April Sin his lee.
ture before the Iron City Ti.den Club
this evening Mr.. j. H. Hopkins
strongly endorsed Mr.. Tilden as the
Democratic Presidential candidate,
which elected tremendous applause.
The following despatch was read:
New YoRK, !
April 8, 1879. 5
To the Lecture COMMITTEE Of the Iron
Ciy Tilden Club, Pittsburgh, Pa:
Please communicate to your club
my thanks for their invitation to at
tend the lecture of Mr.. Hopkins, though
my engagements render it impossible
to be present. In 1876 the Democracy
achieved a victory in the name and
for the sake of reform Administra-
ton, which would restore the Govern
ment, in spirit and substance as well
as form, to the benign character in
which it was created by our patriotic
ancestors. They were defrauded OF
the fruits of that victory by false
count of the electoral votes. That
wrong casts upon this generation the
responsibility of far greater qnes-
ton. The great duty is to vindieate
the right of the people to elective self
government. If the subversion of the
elective system proves successful and
prosperous, those who are in power
may count themselves in at every
election, and prolong their dominion
indefinitely. Such question ought to
be Invested of every personal aspect.
The wrongs to individuals become in
significant in comparison with the
crime against the people, against free
government, and all the best hopes of
mankind.

NEW THIS DAY.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

DAM in the right side, under the
edge Of the ribs, increases. on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are costlve, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss of men,
Dry, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of prickly sensa-
ton Of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer.
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several Of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination Of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

For all bilious arrangements, and as
simple purgative, they are unequaled.

LABOR AND WAcEs.~-It il natural 20
compare prices Of supplies and labor
now With the comparatively high prices
Of the inflated times Immediately pre-
ceding the collapse. But this does not
give fair view OF the situation. A
better way is TO compare 1878 with
1860, and this has been cone by the
Massachusetts State Labor Commits
SION, and embodied in q report recent
~ published, which gives more informa-
ton on the labor question than any
thing else yet published. The exact
wages Of most Of the labor employed IN
that State were definitely ascertained,
together with the market prices Oi snp-
pIies--Eood, clothing, rents, etc.-and
The same compared with those OF 1880,
and il was found that the average week
" wages now are ten per cent. higher
than they were then. The average IN.
crease Of wages over those Of 1860 was
24.4 per cent. while the average in
crease Of prices of living was only l4.5
per cent. This was in the manufactur-
ing and mechanical industries Of the
State. Comparing 1872 with 1878, il
was ascertained that rents were 105
per cent higher then than nov, dry
goods 40 per cent. higher. fuel A per
cent. higher, groceries 43 per cent. high
er, provisions IL per cent. higher, and
board 81 per cent. higher than now, the
average OF ali being 50 per cent. high
er. In q similar manner u was found
that wages had declined since 1872,
about ~ per cent, only half ss much
as prices OF living.-PTacfieag FGrmTs.
