Washington, Dec. 23.-In Mr.. Ellis
speech occurs the following sentence, which
will be a campaign cry Of republicans
The man who was borne in the south and
was reared there, could only have been low

federate army and did his full duty to the
south. Such men We're the only loyal men

could only be done by an arbitrary ruling.

out every day. Not the least among the
many which have been discovered in this
immediate neighborhood, is one which
should caltfor summary action on the part of
the Indian bureau. On an examination OF
the freight houses at the landing, any one
may see tons upon tons of Indian goods re-
ceived at this point during last fall destined
for the up-river agencies, and comprising
clothing, medical supplies, machinery, etc,
etc, the acquisitions for which, it is learn
ed from some Of the agents, were out in a.
far back AZ last April. Many ofthese goods,

which has excited here must
damage more or less the medical
supplies, and certainly render some Of
them useless, mourning a heavy loss. As
these are the articles which the government
pays the highest prices for on contract, and
which should be sent forward. Immediately.
it is hard to say where the blame for this
sorry state of affairs exits, but exist If does
most emphatically. The goods now here
are destined eventually for the Lemni,
Crow, Blackfeet, Fit. Belknap, Fl. Berthold,
and other agencies. 1t is also said that the
freight houses at Sioux City contain large
amounts Of Indian goods, under the same
circumstances. 1t has been stated that a
large part of these goods were received
during the month Of December last, for
shipment up the river which tie veriest
idiot would know was frozen nearly solid
weeks before. The railroad agent at Bis
marck has stated that a few years ago goods
arrived bere the same way, and at his own
expense he had the medicines stored in a
frost proof place. the bills for which he act.
tied out of his own pocket, and he yet awaits
reimbursement therefor. With such an ex
listing state of affairs it is hardly reasonable
to suppose that his patriotism would induce
him to protect the goods under similar CIR
cumstances afterwards, and events have
proved that he didn't. Inspector Hammond
would undoubtedly find a rich field for ex.
animation, were his footsteps 10 tend this
way soon.

1t is probable that the disease which has

'Ural, as it had been before 10 1898. IN 1880
it was brought thither from Reshd. at The
font of the Caspian. The disease has eener.
ally travelled over Russia and Europe when
it reaches AstIakhan, and, as 1t has gone un
the Volga already to Saratov. 1t looks a.
though it would proceed t Kasan, Nipni
Novgorod, and thence to st. Petersburg, un.
less extraordinary precautions are taken. In
1881 all the Baltic provinces of Russia were
affected by the disease. which had come up
the Volga, and it ragged at ST, Petersburg. The
disease was carried along the routes of river
and land travel all over Europe, aud from
thence to Canada and the United States
in 1882. The cholera of l84B in this ooun-
try came origin ally from India, through
Persia, the Caspian sea, Astrakhan, thence
up the ,Yolga, through Russia and Europe.
whence it crossed the Atlantic. In 1865.
'66 pilgrims returning TO the Mediterranean
from the Mohammedan shrlnes brought the
cholera with them, and it again crossed the
Atlantic. The cholera epidemic Of 1873 in

the pilgrims returning from the festival of

A pappoose becomes i'll; it refuses to eat or
to be comforted and after several days and
nights of anxious, tender. .endeavor to relieve
her child, the mother begins to fear the worst
and, growing thoroughly alarmed, she at last
sends for the "shaman," or doctress Of the
tribe, and surrenders her babe to his or her mer.

over the wretched youngster steady bowling,
and then anon whispering conjuration,
shaking hideous rattle or burning wisps of
grass around the cradle. This is kept up
night and day until the baby rallies or dies,
one doctor relieving the other until the end is
attained and that result is death, nine times
