THE SIOUX CITY JOURNALS COMMENTS.
We reprinted from the Yankton Press

surfing Commissioner Hayt for not adver-
Using in this locality certain proposals
which he invited. Without thought Of win
ming the gratitude o fthat great man, it seems
We struck . soft spot in him, and therefore
We have the pleasure Of presenting him this
morning as a correspondent of The Journal.
We trust the commissioner will not feel
badly over his inability, on account of the
poverty Of his Office, to place his advertise
mentsi for Missouri river supplies in this
paper. BE has indicated, quite unmistak-
ably, thatawhen he desires personally to
gain the attention of the people of the Mis-.
souri, valley he has q very clear idea as to
the newspaper best suited to his purpose.
OF course We might reasonably have ex-
pected that the communication from his
gifted pen We have the honor herewith first
to present to a waiting nation would have
been sent to the Yankton paper !; but not SO.
Again, from the previous Indications Of his
Interpretation of official duty, we might
have expected to meet his favor in The
columns Of the 81. Louis Globe emocra,
or the Cheyenne, w. T., Leader but again
not so. We try to curb our pride in the
presence of such marked attention but
when We remember the greatness of Hayt,
the burdens Of state which press upon him,
the vastness of the country the people OF
every portion of which but wait to do him
distinguished honor, We find it difficult to
from our readers the qualification
feel BY reason of his distinguished con-
sideration. Away, then, with all thought
that, he should select The Journal, in pref:
erence to the Cheyenne Leader, for his or.
gan of communication with this people

we dare not aspire TO any such distinction
in these days of our humility, it is a solace
to be permitted to live in q town SO near to

why burden the columns of the Journal

that it was because upper Missouri cattle
men were not notified, that a large number
of bids we're received and lower prices fixed

knows what every business man knows

the Editor of the Siovr City Journal.-
Some unknown friend has favored me with
. copy of your valuable paper Of the 18th
inst, in which I find the enormities con.
mitted by the commissioner of Indian Affairs
held up to q just public r%eprobasion BY that
indefatigable journal, the Yankton Press
and Dakotaian, which exposes in terms Of
righteous indignation the "clandestine let.
ting" of heifers and bulls lately perpstrated
BY the head of the Indian Office, who is
Justly punished for his "sly way of doing
things" by q v%irtuously indignant editor Of
the great northwest.
1t is true that this good-for. nothing com.
missioner did advertise-as far "a the funds
at his command would allow-in such OBJ
ecure papers as the Chicago Tribune, St.
Louis Globe Democrat, Kansas City Jour-
nal and Cheyenne Leader, while he neglect
ed to advertise in the great newspapers
published at Yankton and Sioux City. Al
il often happens, however, condign punish.
ment followed the iniquitous act Of this
commissioner, so that Notwithstanding all
his efforts to keep this letting away from
the public, = vigilsnt public would not be
kept away, but bid in unwonted numbers.
There were bids even from Sioux City, and
perhaps from Springfield, and as a result
the largest number of bids for cattle ever
recorded at 4 single letting we're actually
sent in as q penalty for this attempted sly-
ness. Consequently heifers and bulls were
bought Ut lower prices thsn any ever before
recorded.
You have my hearty thanks for your just
and Indignant exposure Of this great wrong.
Yours, respectfully,
E. A. HAYT, Commissioner.

The SCORPIONS Suicidal Impulse.

Do animals ever commit suicideP A
dog is said to have done so by drowning,
perhaps on no stronger evidence than
that which authenticated Capt. Marryat's
anecdotes. Doubts have been thrown on
the sanity of the cat which hanged her
self in the fork between two branches.
The suicidal character of the scorpion,
however, is reasserted by a coTespon-
dent of Nature. We have all heard how
the scorpion, if surrounded by circle Of
fire, runs its sting into its own head, and
so expires. Probably most of us have
classed this scorpion with Benvenuto
Cellini's celebrated salamander, or with
the barnacles who give birth TO wild
geese. Mr.. Allen Thompson, however,
has a friend who has often seen scor-
pions sting themselves to death at l4ucca.
When the insect is caught, he is put in a
glass tumbler till dark. A light is then
exhibited. whereon the scorpion first
loses his head with excitement, and then
brings his recurved sting down upon
it, and pierces it forcibly." In a moment
his sorrows are over and " his excite
ment amounting to despair ceases to
vex him. 1t is odd that this suicidal
mania should be hereditary in scorpions,
because, of course, the dead ones cannot
have reported to the survivors that the
experiment is successful, while suicide is
far from;complying with Darwinian con-
ditions, and favoring the persistence ol
the species.
