THE INDIAN SEASON.

At this season, grass being good buffalo
fat and plenty, and water abundant, the
cheerful Indian puts on an extra streak OF
pugnaeious paint, nimbly jumps on his mus
tang and sallies forth with preliminary
whoop to corral d few cattle by way OF
showing that he recognizes the situation.
Reports come from the extreme northwest
est corner of Texas that the Mesenleno and
Coyoten Apaches, with some few Tontos and
renegade Navajoes, attacked a rancho near
Fort Davis, and. killing herder and his
wife, drove off a dozen or SO beeves. taking
the trail for Fort stanton, n M. Simuta-
neously almost q dispatch comes from Wy
oming, announcing that the Sioux and Crows
have renewed their old feud and are keeping
up an unremitting round OF whoops and
scalping parties.
These two little affairs are properly the
opening OF the Indian season. From this
time forth we may expect from time to time
as occasion may offer, to hear of soul-stirring
depredations by Stick-n-the- Mud, Man
Afraid-of His-M other-in-La Roaring Gut
ter-Snipe. Man Drunk ASA Biled-O Owl, Bully
Boy-wlth-a-Glass Eye and other noted chiefs,
showing that the peace commission Is still
gloriously at work, and that the United
States is repaid for Its millions spent annually
In red blankets, tobacco and provisions.
Is it not about time that the farce of the
peace commission was played out, and the
Indian placed In the hands Of his old and
best guardian, the army? For fifteen years
the plan has been tried, with not a year I'M
marked by an Indian war. Were strong gar
risons placed on each reservation a raiding
party could instantly be pursued and brought
back. Then, again, as honorable and con
scientious officers would be In charge of issues
the Indian would receive his proper allow.
ance and have no cause for depredations
while the United States would save millions
annually which now go into the hands of so
called Indian agents and traders.

THE EXODUS.

That extremely stalwart organ, the Buffalo
Commercial Advertiser, has gone back on Par
son Conway and his piratical project OF send
ing an armed expedition down the Mississippi
to carry,off to Kansas the millions of ne
groes whom he had represented as "croWding,
bleeding and dying" along the banks OF the
river Heretofore the Commercial Advertiser
has been among the foremost in working up
this diabolical scheme, and has all along
urged the people Of its section to contribute
to the fund that Conway was trying to raise
to carry it out. But this paper, like several
others of the same vehement political views
appears to have experienced a conversion as
startling as that which overlook Saul OF Tar
sus on the highway, and 1T is now denouncing
Conway as q scoundrel and his project as In

It is very difficult to account for this sud-

and others of its kind. The Republican press

Large Wooden Mill Failure

BOSTON, Feb. 3.-The announcement of the
failure of D. 81. sayles, Danville, and 8. L.
and T. D. Sayles, Versailles, Conn.,. created a
sensation among the wool merchants of this
city. These concerns, in reality one, have
been in existence twenty-five years, and were
the largest individual manufacturers of wooden
goods in the country. The mills at Mechanics
vile we're the finest in the State, and run if
teen to sixteen sets of machinery. The mills
at Danville contained ten or twelve sets,
and those at Versailles fifteen sets,
making an aggregate of about forty set of ma
chinery which were employed exclusively in
the manufacture of cashmere. The product of
the three mills amounted to one and one
half or two millions of dollars in value per an
mum: and these goods were consigned to the
house of Law, Hartman & Co., New York. The
capital invested in mill property is esti-
mated at between $75 900 and $1,000 900
the entire village of Mechanjcsville being
owned by the firm of H. @. & T. D. Sayles.
The failure falls heavily upon the wool mer-
chants of this city, who were creditors of the
two firms to the extent of $3.50, 900 or $4OO, 900.
The suspended firms were the largest purchas-
ers of wool who came into this market, and
scarcely single house has escaped the blow
1t Is estimated that three-fourths of the loss by
this failure will fall upon Boston merchants
although 1t is impossible to state the extent
OF the Liabilities. The failure is attributed to
depreciation in the value of wooden goods
and inability of the concern to obtain assist
ance from local banking houses upon which
they have formerly relied.

Lieut.. W. s. Edgerty, Seventh cavalry, testi-
fed that Reno's conduct was excited when he
tirst saw the Indians. Clusters firing was dis
tinctly heard from the Reno Headquarters and
lasted three-quarters of an hour. There was
no reason to believe Custer and his officers dis
gracefully abandoned their men.

Toledo Blade

~ Toledo Blade.
Not long ago the widow of gentleman
who had recently died desired the vault
| wherein the remains had been temporarily
placed to be watched, SO that body -snatchert
could have no opportunity to ply their ne
farious calling. Thinking that the vault
would be watched better by the sexton than
any one else, Mr.. Ladbone was hired to keeI
sharp lookout. At dark he took q lantern
and blanket and made up bed in front OF
the vault, SO that any one approaching i,
would have to step over his body. But after
| lying there sometime it grew quite cold, and
he thought he could watch the corpse Just as
we'll if he were inside the vault, out of the
cold. So he unlocked the vault and went in
but found that he could not lock the vault
from the inside. That would never do, and
yet he was determined not to stay outside.
Finally he went back to the house and
reused his hired man and the two
went back to the vault. Mr.. II. then took
his lantern and blanket and went inside,
made bed on the floor, and laid down for
the night, having for companions to while
away the tedious hours six corpses., The at
tendant locked the door from the outside
and went back to the house and his warm

as though some one were tampering with
the vault lock. Mr.. r. took up his lantern,
and the noise stopped for a few moments,
only to begin again when he laid down on
his blanket. This time it appeared to be
in an opposite corner of the vault.
He could see nothing and could
only hear that steady scratch, scratch, which
became more and more distinct every in
slant. Mr.. r. is brave man, but he con-
fesses that when locked in a vault with six
dead men, with no living soul within half
mile, and at that early hour to have such an
unexplairable noise as that, it was more
than men with ordinary nerves can stand.
At any rate, his hair began to raise, and Just
as he was thinking of the best way to de-
fend himself against his spiritual foes, lit.
tie chip-munk dashed from a dark corner,
| ran past him and darted out between the
| bars in the vault door. From that time on
nothing occurred to mar his quiet watch, but
in the morning he was rather glad to be re-
leased from his dull quarters.

HUDSON'S BAY NAVIGATION.
Ottawa Correspondence Toronto Globe.

lOttaWa correspondence Toronto Globe.
Under the authority of the department. of
the interior report on the navigation of
Hudson's bay has been issued. The report
contains the whole of Prof. Kinds testimony
on this subject given before the committee
of immigration and colonization last winter.
and it is supplemented by paper from the
same gentleman on the whale fisheries of
Hudson's bay, in support of his statement
that the great inland sea contains extenseiv
fishery wealth. A letter from Mr.. G. Horetsky,
formerly of the Hudson Bay company 8
service, is also given, which sustains Prof.
Kinds contention. and is based on expert
ence gained by Il five years. residence at
Moose Factory. The report is accompanied
by map of Canada, with each province col
ored, to show it's latest boundary decisions,
and the extent, situation and character of the
public lands of the country, and its geograph-
ical relations to the British isles. On the
map the route from Liverpool to Port Nelson
is traced, and placed at 1896 miles, and in
his Introductory report Lieut.. Col. Dennis,
surveyor general, contends that by such a
communication, should the same be found
feasible, assuming a railroad to be in
operation westerly up the valley of
the Nelson river, immigrants may be placed
OAA AoAN aU L IAuCo aAU0IL 6SCuom00C, on the
Saskatchewan, more cheaply, and within 9
few hours of as short a time as they can be
set down in London lin Ontario, by the pres
ent lines of travel either through Montrea
or New York. From the occurrence of this
passage in the report has emanated the ru-
NOR that the governm ont sntends to con-
struct the railroad referee 80. It may be
mentioned in this connection that the pro-
posed road from Port Nelson will Join the
Canada Pacific railroad at or near Prince
Albert, which settlement is situated almost
centrally in the great fertile belt; and if the
bay is navigable for four months in the year
Canada, it is claimed, will be enabled, on &C.
count of the shortness of the route, to DEFY
competition in carrying through freight fol
that time. Whatever may be the future OF
the scheme, it is probable that the govern
ment will ask parliament to vote sum suf-
ficiently large to equip a steamer to finally
decide the question of the possible naviga-
ton of the bay during the coming summer.
A gentleman we'll acquainted with the Hud-
son bay district, says that there is a harbor
at the mouth of Churchill river, further
north than Port Nelson, which has the
double advantage of being free from ice
some weeks earlier than Port Nelson, and
which lessons the length of the sea voyage
while it does not make a material increase
in the length of the road.
