THE INDIANS.

Trouble Expected by the Commission
Los PINos, Dec 9.-It seems that the cast

day expressed his vote for war, but the other
Indians retaining their knives overpowered
his vote AS soon as this was apparent two
Utes went out and spoke to the Indians out
side, who Immediately rode away. They were
evidently awaiting a signal whether it was to
be peace or war. All the Indians present
were armed to the teeth.

LONDON, Dec. 9.-The Rome Fanfulla says
that Bismarck has written a letter to Senator
Jacini saying that an agreement of the powers

armament, which is the only remedy for the
prevailing depression in finances and the mis-
cries OF the people in the various countries.

Of diversion of the nations energies from do

by again committing Russia to political en-

national aspirations would in all likelihood
only be rendered far more problematic than at

pointment.

Julius Caesars View Of Death.

Throughout his career Caesar displayed al
ways singular indifference to life. He had
not much belief in God or the gods. On all
such questions he observed from first to last a
profound silence. But one conviction he had.
He intended if he was to live at all, to live
master of himself in matters which belonged
to himself. Sylla might kill him if he so
pleased. 1t was better to die than to put away
wife who was the mother of his child, and to
marry some otter woman at dictator's bid
ding. Life on such terms was not worth keep
ing. What joy it is to read of one man in
the worlds history who never played the fool
or the hypocrite. On one occasion the MAORI
ty of the Senate-of which Caesar was then a
young member-wished to consgn large num-
Der Of political offenders to capital punishment
Caesar opposed this. He commended that death
was not a punishment at ALL Death was the
end of human sorrow. When man was
dead he ceased to be. He became as he had
been before he was born. Probably almost ev-
cry one in the Senate thought like Caesar on
this subject. Cicero certainly did. Caesar
spoke his convictions OUT. A. Froude.
