OUR RED WARDS.
Installation Of the Governor OF the Pas
samaquoddy Indians.

Installation Of the Governor Of the Pas
samaquoddy Indians.
The following interesting account of the in
stallation ceremonies Of the new Governor of
that tribe is taken from the Calais Times:
The installation of the officers elect took
place the evening of election. The ceremonies
commenced by each Indian placing spot Of
red paint on his forehead. The installation
officer, Sopiel Selmre, then delivered an hours
address to the new Governor, his remarks be-
ing received with close attention. The drums
were then beat, and five squaws were admit
ted. They entered singing, danced around the
room three times, and then retired. The Off
GERS OF the tribe, numbering about dozen,
next advanced to the centre of the hall, and
chanted song, after which each shook hands
with the new officers.
The ceremonies ended with FEAST in which
a whole OK, cooked in small pieces, was eaten
without any addition. About II o'clock p. M,
the grandedance began, and continued without
moments intermlssion until 3 o'clock in the
morning. In the dancing no lady is permitted
to be the partner of a gent. 1t opens by the
whole company marching IN single file around
against the sun. The procession in each dance
is headed by single Indian with short horn,
WHICH he SuakeS constantly. lie Is SurFOuuu-
ed and aided in the music by eight good sing
ers Each song has different step. 1t lasts
about ten minutes, and ends with q grand
whoop, which can be heard for miles. The
snake dance was the last on the list
All seemed to enjoy the occasion. Many of
the Indians and SquawS smoked While dancing.
The maidens were dressed with great attempt
at display, and made pleasing appearance.
Arrangement Of the Sea King Murderers.
The October session of the United States
Circuit Court was opened in Philadelphia,
Monday, by Judges McKennan and Butler. A
grand jury, with Franklin A. Comfy, Esq, as
foreman, was empanelled to act upon the bills
of indictment presented against the five sailors
charged with the murder of Chas. E. Brooks
the mate of the Sea King, on the night of A u
gust 18th. The bills were returned true
They allege that on tie night in question
Isaac jacobson, John Clarke, Karl j. Gran
fors, Axel Nyberg and Peter Rasmussen, the
defendants, clustered around the mate, whose
attention was attracted by the cry Of "a red
light ON the port bow and assaulted him with
iron Delaying pins, literally crushing his skull.
Joseph T. Ford and Josiah L. Adams, Esqs.,
represent all of the defendants excepting
Granfors The last named asked the Court to
appoint him counsel. Col William McMichael
and Henry Hazlehurst, Esq, were appointed
to represent him. There was some talk with
reference to the arraignment of the prisoners,
but the matter was continued to allow counsel
to confer with their clients. The trial will
probably be fixed for next week.

RENEWAL OF IMMIGRATION.

The number OF immigrants arriving in
this country for the first ten months of
the current year will foot up to very
nearly 100000, and although likely to
fall off heavily during the months of
November and December, the grand total
of the year must, from present indica-
tions, reach 100000 persons. This while
some $4,000 less than the year 1872,
when 5000 landed at the port of New
York in one day is tolerably good
showing in the way of emigration and
betokens a renewal of the food of Euro
pean emigration that is likely to set
in to this country for the next several
years to come, or at least during
the continuance of the present
commercial prosperity The panic
which began in the United States
in September, 1873, checked the
tide that had been hitherto flowing in
steady streams in this direction, and there
was a constant decline during the time
that our hard times lasted until 1877,
when the lowest point was touched in
many years, only 54,536 arriving on our
shores. Last year the arrivals were in
the neighborhood of $4,000, which, as
stated above, will this year be more than
doubled, and, it is hardly to be doubted,
quadrupled in 1880. 1t is worthy of note
that the emigrants now coming into the
country are generally of letter class
that is to say more intelligent, and many
of them the possessors of more capital,
than has in former years been usual. As
they are gradually absorbed into the
great masses of producers and become
citizens and voters, the Nation, while be-
coming more polyglot, is not likely to be-
come in consequence of this leaven any
less liberal or liberty-loving, from having
assimilated so considerable an element of
the different nations of the earth. On
the contrary, those who more generally
seek our shores come with hearts thirst
ing for the civil and religious liberty that
more than anything else has aided in
creating during the hundred years since
our Republic was born, with population
of only 100000 embraced in eleven
feeble States, a great nation of 50,0OO,-
600 souls and forty States stretching
across continent, and from the north
ern lakes to the Gulf Of Mexico.

THE general impression in the COM
munity is that intemperance is one of
the most fruitfuful sources Of insanity,
and powerful arguments in favor of total
abstinence have been made on this hypoth-
esis. The report of the Utica, New York
Insane Asylum, lately published, does not
seem to corroborate this view. In that
asylum, according to the report in ques-
tion, only II per cent. of the cases un-
der treatment there are traceable to the
use of alchoholic beverages The greatest
cause of insanity is shown by the statis-
tics to be monotonous and toll
some life without needed relaxation
and recreation. Following this comes
dyspepsia, the result of .Overwork and
poor food which are shown so clearly to
be predisposing cause, that the report
closes with strong appeal to eat more
wholesome food, to engage in less taxing
labors and to unbend more often by
proper recreation. Of the soundness of
the latter suggestions we think few will
raise question, as everybody who has
ever undertaken to do literary labor will
bear cheerful testimony to the fact that
an unclouded mind is nearly impossi-
Bile with disordered stomach. So that
after all the physician who undertakes
to minister to a mind diseased is not in
variably to discard his drugs when he
brings forward his moral inculcations.

THE Ohio River, which had refused us
hitherto coal rise, under the impression,
evidently, that the supply of sable jewels
was sufficient to run the cities along its
banks, until the Thursday of this week,
when the theory of the Adventists pre-
scribed the end of things, has seen at last
how shamefully it had been imposed
upon and. under the influence of remorse
and timely rains that, as hitherto stated
in the STAR, make their appearance in

speculating for rise such as is likely to
knock the coal famine now prevailing in

few years ago was projected suddenly. In
short, not to put too fine point upon it,
the Ohio River is going up, and coal
let US hope-is coming down.

SOME four or six weeks ago in an
erudite and polished editorial we abol-
ished the tramp nuisance that had been
vexing country communities and small
towns for some years, cutting off at one
blow the itinerant vagabonds in the
flower of their raggedness and resolving
them by figure of speech, as it were,
back into the bosom of the classes from
which in period of industrial depression
they sprang into unwelcome being.
The matter should have ended
there, but as an occasional sporadic
case of tramp continued like yellow
fever or cholera to break out here and
there, certain goddess newspapers set up
the cry again that there was danger of
the tramp becoming epidemic. This we
