FoRT ROBINSON, January lS.-A confer.

Chief Red Cloud and Lieut.. Schuyler, of

tanning the services of fifteen OF his war.
rioS. The old chief in u very grave tone
OF voice, and without raising his eyes from
the ground, said: "Aly people are sad at
heart since their brothers were killed here
some moons ago. They arc very angry
with the whites, and am nearly certain
will not aid them" Lieut. Schuyler, in as
few words as possiblee, gave him an nc.
count OF the Cheyenne outbreak; how the
Cheyennes fired on the soldiers In fleeing
from the prison room, killing them,
and how, in trying to punish the Chey.
enne bucks, the squaws were accidentally
Killed. Lieut., Schuyler finally got the old
chief to say: "Young chief, Lieut.. Dodd,
can go to my camp and tell my son-in.law,
Young. Man Afraid.of- His. Horses, that Il
is my wish he would try to get some Of
my warriors to help the government in

proposition Is pending before the Leg
,.,,,nre to so alter the present interest law
"',he state as to forfeit the amount loaned
and AZ much more when an excess OF six
"@, cent, per annum is charged. On Sat
r,l,v last, DR.. Logan offered the following
rasolu,ions on the same subject, which
wa,o laid over under the rule:
wugRrAs The enactment oil any usury
,,w which would be satisfactory to the ag'
,icultuTa portions OF the State, would at'
t., innriousIy the commercial, mining
nnj manufacturing interests OF the same,
81" I driving capital ont Of the State, and
c?mpeIIny il to seek investment else
where. =
or,Dliny from taxation alI mortgages and
,Sg,Is Of trust on real estate, provided the
,a,s NJ interest thereon does not exceed
.;T %,' per rent Der annum, would protect the
,@ople @ Of the State more fully against
rsuTy than they can be protected by any
w.mry law which can be enacted, and at
III" I :ame time attract capital to the State,
and more especially to its agricultural
districts. Therefore,
Rsjl,d That the Committee on Taxa.
,ion and Finance be instructed to inquire
into the expediency Of reporting a bill pro-
yidnc that mortgages and deeds ot trust
m real estate shall be exempt from taxa
lion; provided that such mortgages and
deeds Of trust shall not bear interest at q
yreater rate than six per cent. per annum.
These resolutions would probably meet
the wants Of our country friends, in q sat
l,iactory way, inasmuch as the exemp-
tiops provided for therein cover, we pre-
sumo, the great majority Of cases in which
complaint is heard in regard to usury. II
said exemptions are not contrary to Sec.
sa Art. VI, oithe Constitution, which pro-
yides that the Legislature shall not pass
"local or special laws" regulating the rate
otiaterest, they can probably be made to
harmOnile with the views Of those who
demand six per cent law.
Asto the effect Of sweeping six per
cent law on many important interests Of
this State, it would be difficult to speak
with accuracy at this time. The members
Of tue Legislature who read the late report
Of the Comptroller Of the Currency, pub
lished in our columns n few days ago,
must have noticed that the ratio Of divi-
dends to capital in the National banks OF
West Virginia was only 4.lG, and in those
Of the country generally only 3,Sl. This
is because OF the taxes they pay, and the
decline in the rate Of interest since the
panic. Their Government taxes are one
per cent on circulation; one per cent on
deposits, and one half Of one per cent on
capital. Their State and local taxes are
the same as the tax on all other property,
and run from one to two per cent. A
sweeping six per cent law would proba-
bly, wind up every one OF them, and also
every other bank in the State. If they
can't make but an average Of 4.l6 per cent.
dividend, at going rates Of interest, they
can not certainly employ their capital
proGtably at & per cent. They can DE- bet.

DANGEROUS PLAYTHEN0.

The Sacramento, Cal, Record Union
says:-An uptown store-keeper has been
the proprietor of a young skunk, diminu-
tive affair, as gentle and playful as kitten
first beginning to frisk about, it having
been brought to him from the country by
ranchman who was hauling wood for him.
For several days it was the pet of the es-
tablishment, not being considered danger
Gus, owing to its youth. It took kindly to
any and everybody who had kind word
or little delicacy to offer it, and its owner
was greatly pleased with his acquisition.
Matters were in this fix until large New.
foundland dog, possessed of an extraordi-
nary antipathy to cats, happened to enter
the store and catch sight of the new pet,
Taking it for kitten, he dashed in pur-
suit. They raced few yards, but sudden
ly the skunk sprung upon his owners lap,
faced the dog and wisped his tail toward
him. The dog did not stay on the order
of his going, but ran out with his tail be-
tween his legs, the skunk was dashed down
and killed. the grocer had to burn his
clothes, and the store has not got over the
fumigation yet.

what little there was was in a cask in the

in two hours the blue jackets, every man

over the side and taken back to the ship

HUMPBACKS.

There lately died in Paris humpbacked
man, who, for the previous fifty years of
his life, had given his time to researches
upon his humpbacked brethren. His heirs
found, instead of will, volnminous
manuscript of two thousand pages upon
humps. He was rich, and travelled in every
direction for information. 1t was in the
milder regions of Europe that he found the
misfortune the most prevalent. Spain
supplied the greatest number and in cir
cumscribed locality at the foot of tho
Sierra Morena there existed one humpback
individual to every thirteen inhabitants.
They were also found very numerous in the
valley of the Loire in France. The writer's
conclusion was that for every thousand
persons on the globe there was one hump
back, or an aggregate of a million against
the thousand millions of the entire earth.
The last page of the manuscript contained
the will Of the deceased; which said nothing
