THE sLAYDgRED INDIANS.

Federmeyer, the Eheelbarrow man, if he has proved nothing else by his tramp across the cs1tineut, has shown up the falsiiy of the theory that the Indians of the far West are always eager to take a white man's scalp He travelled more safely, by nigat and day, among those Western savsges, than he could have done in i've months journey through the streets of New York. Indians in plenty he anu hts companion saw. but they did not harm hair of the heads of the two travellers. nor did they pill Ter from the much truadled barrow. IL was prudebt for federmeyei and Pattee to let the Indians alone. And that policy became their complete protection.
 The above appeared in the New York Sun of recent date and is another speci- men of Eastern ignorance. Ths wheel bar row idiots travelled along the line of the Pacific railroads, where it would not be safe for hostile Indian to show himself, and even if there were i'll disposed Indians aIoug the route travelled by the wheel barrow ma niacs they would not have been apt to have intertefed with them. for the simple reason that Indians never kill idiots. There is not a single instance on record to show that they have ever bean guilty of taking the life of an imbecile.
