There was a crowded meeting in Boston,
Friday night, to do honor to the memory Of
the late Bayard Taylor. The principal ad-
dress was by Oliver Wendell Holmes. who
closed his remarks as follows.
His life was journey through many lands
of men, through realms of knowledge. He
left his humble door in boyhood poor, I'M
trained, unknown, unheralded, unattended
lie found himself once at least, as | well re-
member his telling me, hungry and well
nigh penniless in the streets OF a European
city, feastng his eyes at a bakers window
and tightening his grille in place OF a re-
past. Once more he left his native land,
now in the strength of manhood, known and
bonored throughout the world of letters, the
sovereignty Of the nation investing him with
its mantle of dignity, the laws of civilization
surrounding him with the halo of their in
viOlable sanctity, the boy who went forth to
view the world afoot, on equal footing with
the potentates and princes, who by right OF
birth or by right Of intellect swayed the des-
TIMES of great empires. lie returns to Us no
more as we remember him, but his career,
his example, the truly American story OF
grand, cheerful, active, selt-developing, self
sustaining life remains as an enduring inner
itance for all coming generations.
DR.. Holmes then read the following poem,
written for the occasion by Henry W
Wadsworth Longfellow

Smith was e coal operator at Audenried,

THE INDIAN MASSACRE
Horrible Slaughter.
NO QUARTER GIVEN.


NEw YORK, Jan. ia dsscriptiou of
the recent Indian fight is published. A
special from Fort Robinson (Neb.) says that
the troops have returned after being held at
bay lour days by the Indians. who finally
escaped, going toward Fort Laramie. Be-
fore the fighting the Indians showed intense
earnestness, and said that they would die
before they would go south and would
butcher each other with their own knives
before eonsenting to such move. When
the attack was first made by the Indians,
who shot several of the guard, the bucks and
squaws selz5d the papOose4 and lei to
tho hills, the soldiers pursuing and firing a
volley into them. The Indians retaliatei
with volleys until they reached the hills
and safety in darkness. The road was
strewn with the bloody bodies of bucks,
squaws and pap0oses. The soldiers, who
all along down to the privates had treated
them with the greatest kindness, were now
aroused II the highest pitch of evaporation,
and when they first did not dispose of
their victims a coup de grace WAS readily
given by final pistol shot. Al
most every one is shot through
the head and the attitudes of the
dead are Of almos. every variety, some
throwing their hands in the air wildly,
some clutching at their knives with last
effort, and others holding their firearms in
frozen, helpless clutch. Capt. Vessels
regrets that any women or children were
killed, but the Indians were so huddled
together it could not be helped All the
Indians killed who have been brought in
are buried in one grave near the saw mill OF

OF the Cheyenne prisons at Camp Robinson.

The POpe's EncycllcaI Letter
AGAINST SOCIALISM, COMMUNISM, NIHILI-N AND
THE REFORMATION.

AGAINST SOCIALISM, COMMUNISM, NIHILI-N AND
THE REFORMATION.
A London despatch says the Pope's eney-
clical letter occupies seven columns OF the
Official Journal. The Pope inveighs against
Socialism, Communism, and Nihilism, which
initiate, no longer secretly but openly,
against the civil State, rupsuring the matri
monial tie, Ignoring the rights Of property,
claiming everything, however legally inner
tied or honestly acquired, and attempting
even the lives of Kings. These sinister
agencies spring from the Reformation, which
opened the sluice-gates Of skepticsm till
goddess Governments have arisen wherein
the Author and Redeemer of the world is
ignored. Youth are trained to believe that
mans destinics are bounded by the present,
and without any hereafter hence the impa-
tent and aggressive spirit which seeks its
qualification at others expense. Thus the
natural development OF the Reformation was
indicated by previous PontIii-. from Glenn
ent MI. to Plus IN, in their allOcutions
and cncyclical-. but the Church : warning is
more than ever required. The equality de-
siierated by the sccts is contrary to Scrip
turc. There are distinctions between the
angels in heaven; tortiori, must there be
distinctions between men upon earth. When
tyranny prevails, then the church shields
the oppressed. When the tvrant is 200
strong, she cniOins resignation.
The Pope iustifes Christian marriage,
and the subservience of woman to man, OF
the child to the parent, and of the servant
to the master. Such interdepen ience. rightly
observed in the State As in the family, would
operate on earth as it does in heaven. The
poverty, of which Socialism is inpatient, is
corrected by the Church, which, besides her
own charities, enjoins alms-giving on the
rich, to whom she thus rect nciles the poor.
Such is the solution of the evils for which
Socialism seeks revolutionary remedy.
Let, therefore, all the principalties and
powers accept the Church, the safeguard
of earthly, and the surety of heavenly
things.
The Hdhe (newspaper) regards the cncy-
clcal as an appeal to all Catholics to or
ganize a crusade against modern institu
tons. and with that object to participate
in political elections.

. The EXECUTION VI HusTER.-The execu-
tion of Benjamin Hunter at Camden, n. j. ,
Friday. was the sequel to very remark
able crime. The murdered man was John
NJ. Armstrong, whom Hunter had persuad-
ed to insure his life for considerable sum
and to assign the policies to him as secur-
ity for much smaller sum which he owed
him. To get possession of this money from
the insurance companies Hunter murdered
Armstrong. Hunter was man Of out
ward rcspectabilIty and apparently upright
lie and member of the church. Wien
suspicion was first directed toward him no
one who knew him would believe that there
was any occasion for it, AMI even in the
face OF strong aud swittly-accumulatlng
evidence there were some who thought him
the victim OF q conspiracy. But the man
Graham, whom he had made his accom-
plice. told the story Of the awful crime.
which was abundantly sustained by other
evidence; all ,if1rts 10 secure his release
were unavslling, and if any entertaintd Il
lingering doubt Of his guilt the confession
which the near approach OF his doom wrung
from him must have dispeled it His guilt
was. however. sufficiently established with
that
