n army Argument.

understand from the public prints
that the commission treating with the
JTtes for the cessiOn of their reservation
ONLY demand the surrender of the lndl-
ans concerned in the murder of Agent
Meeker and his employees, and decided
that it would make no demand for the
surrender of those implicated in the as
sault upon Maj. Thornburgh and his
command. This discrimination | can
not but regard as unjust and unwise.
The Indians who murdered Agent
MeeEer and his employees murdered Maj.
Thornburgh and the men who fell with
him. The one act was no greater crime
than the other. Maj. Thornburgh was
on his way to the Ute agency, III obedl-
ence to Agent Meeker's request. to pre-
serve order and restrain turbulency. lie
was not there to make war on the Utes,
and they knew it. The very evening
preceding their attack upon him
number of their chiefs had
entered his camp, as they had
previously done, partaken OF his
hospitality, and assured him OF their
friendship. The last message Meeker
ever sent to Thornburgh was to the effect
that the Indians, without provocation,
treacherously lay in ambuscade, and at
tackled the troops, with the results al
ready known. To consider such beha-
vior an act of war, is to give a new mean
ing to the term. 1t was nothing more OF
less than murder. Certainly it was as
much murder as the killing of Mr..
Meeker and those employed under him.
To treat it as anything else is equivalent
to asserting that an Indian commits d
crime only when he kills the agent who
invokes assistance, but not when he way
laws and destroys the men who move te
render the assistance asked for. The
life of an officer and soldier OF the army
is as dear to him, perhaps as valuable to
the country, as that of an agent or EN-
ploye of any other branch OF the Gov
eminent, and it will be a bad precedent
to establish that the life of one may bt
taken with impunity, while the Other
mu be accounted for by the delivery t.
Justice of those who destroy it Gen

Among others who renewed their ac-
quaintance with Mr. Roger Vandergras,
now bleached to admirable Wilderness,
was his nephew. whom he had not seen
since his childhood, and to whose mother
he had not sent one line for fifteen years
before her death The old man received
his young relative with great kindness,
and being so Immediately fascinated by
his handsome face (which he secretly
fattered himself reaembled his OWN ,
his air de6oRaiy, and fine tenor voice, de-
clared his intention of making him his
heir, commanded him to resign his stu
alton at Mink Il Otters-a command
which the commanded lost no time in
obeying-and installed him i'll elegant
rooms adjoining his own in the st. Sky
hotel.
But when uncle Roger came to hear of
the pretty village schoolmistress he was
exceeding wroth, and swore. with many
strange and terrible oaths, that if John
did not promise to remain a bachelor for
at least five years, and when he did
change his state, to marry his uncle Rog-
er's choice, back to the world he should
go, and not IL penny from three or more
bags full should he ever have.
Now this Jolly, singing, tine-looking
young fellow beneath careless exterior
concealed an intense longing for wealth
and all the comforts and luxuries wealth
could bring; beside which he was
troubled with Il constitutional lassitude,
as a certain fox once called it, though it
is better known to the world under
another name, also commencing with an
l.. And to descend from his perch, as
it were. and mingle once more with the
grumbling. work-a-day crowd, seemed
to him worse than death. But then he
loved. as we'll us such Il pleasing nature
could love. blue-eyed, golden haired
Janet Dudley, and hated to give her up
almost as much as the elegant rooms at
the St. Sky. Here was a coil, and
thinking how to unwind it cost him a
week of slee ,,less nights. The PROPOSE
ton he at length made to his "layde
love-" as has been seen. she Indignantly
repealed; and swearing, - will never
give you up" he gave up the next day,
as will be seen by the following letter:
my darling: For notwithstanding
your cruelty (her cruelty, poor childD
my darling you are and ever will be,
the die is supposed to be cast. l have
acceeded to Uncle Rogers wishes, as you
would say. you prim, old-fashioned. lit
tie sweetheart, with mental reserva-
ton. You are that mental reservation.
Be true to me, as shall be to You. and
l may yet lay fortune at your feet.

The Petersburg (Russia) correspond
ent of tn Berlin .uontogsblM writes the
following
A few lays ago DR.. Mershejewski, Pro-
fessor ofPsychiatry at the Medico-Sur-
gical Academy. introduced to his stud
ents very interesting case Of ldlocy.
The subject is young man twenty seven
yearsof age, b ,rn in Archangel, where
he his resided until short time ago.
The yourg man seems to be perfectly
idiotic. anil is entirely devoid OF all ca
pabiity ID think logically. The patient
plainly rranifests all the symptoms OF
total idity; but he shows phenome-
nal memay and the astounding faculty
to solve te most difficult mathematical
problems with the greatest ease and
without the assistance OF guides or
tables. ! few minutes times are suili'
cient fol him to raise any sum
to its scond or third power, or to
draw the square and cubic root of any
sum. inluding all the running frac
tions. Any poem, the re aiding of which
takes sevral minutes, he will immedi-
ately andfaultlessly recite again. With
these onesided performances the patient
astonishe every one. BY what combina-
ton he arrives at the solution of such
difficult mathematical problems cannot
be defnily explained. 1t is supposed
that he l. himself unconscious of the
performAce, and that the activity of his
brain is htirely Independent of his will
power. In his youth he developed
splendi,ltalents, but lost them after a
severe itness, retaining only his gigan-
tic menSry, which developed more and
more ashis other faculties gradually dis
appeard. Ever since his fourteenth
year he has led very dissolute life, and
he is noS hard driDker.
