| holds the interior department responsible fol
Victoria's outbreak, aud intimates that there

censures the Indian agents, and holds that they
have frequently caused much trouble by refus
ing the awards of the nation" food in order tc
punish the said wards for supposed misde
meanors. He advises that the right of Capt
Payne and his followers to settle in the Indian
Territory be submitted to the United States
courts as soon Us possible.

Presence of Mind.

John Wilkes, says an English paper,
was not a great general, but he might
have been one had his tastes led him in
to military life. His presence OF mind
never deserted him. He held many
places of trust and aud responsibility.
He was alderman, chamberlain OF Lon
don, and member Of parliament, and no
man was more outspoken or daring IN
his criticisms upon the government.
Once upon time, when Wilkes had been
more severe than usual. and had reject
ed keenly upon the king and his chief
ministers in north Briton, warrant was
issued from the court of Kings Bench
for his apprehension, and for the appre-
hension OF the poet Churchill (Chnrles|,
Wilkes bosom friend and supporter.
The chief culprit knew that the warrant
was out, and that his friends name was
in it, but he had not thought to speak OF
it. The kings messenger with the war
rant in his hand found Wilkes in his
chamber, Churchill being at the time
with him.
"Ah, Mr.. Wilkes, 1 must arrest you
in the kings name!'
j" You have warrant ?

name down also?'

"Thompson, my dear fellow" said
Wilkes, turning to his companion, edo
you run around to Churchill's rooms and
| tell him what's coming. Tell him to be
off for few days, and I'll have it all
right for him.
Churchill nodded to his friend and at
once hurried out, the officer OF the law
little dreaming how the fish was slipping
from his net before his very eyes.

Man or Monkey?

Miss Bird, and English lady, de-
scribes in book on Japan, and es-
pecially on the Amos, how she was fer
ried across river by one Aino, "com-
pletely covered with hair, which on his
shoulders was wavy like that of re-
triever, and renderer clothing quite
needless: either for covering or warmth"
and how in another place she met with
a second old man, whom she emphatic
ally describes as "the missing link.
His face was vacant and apathetic, his
arms and legs we're unnaturany long
and thin, he squatted with his knees
tucked into his arm-pits, and his whole
body was covered with black hair
"nore than an inch long," and slightly
curly on the shoulders. He had, how
ever, bare patch on each side, prob
ably marking the parts on which he
rested when asleep; popularity found
in the gorilla, who has bare spot on
his back where he leans against trees.

sheer that at certain times the guide,
whatever obstacle might arise, put them

passed, and still the Arab never failed to
do this, till at last, one evening, as he
arose from his knees, the would be phil

A Mothers Grief,

The story of domestic tragedy, which
recently occurred in Columbus, Ohio, is
peculiarly sad and touching. Not long
since married lady of that city had oc-
casion to use pot Of concentrated lye,
and she set it upon the table within the
reach of her babe. The little one pick
ed up the pot and drank swallow OF the
lye before the mother could preven: it.
It took but few hours for the powerful
stuff to cut ont the life Of the baby.
When the mother was told her child
could not live she covered her face with
her hands, and never moved until the
baby was dead. Then she jumped out
of her chair a raving maniac, and never
afterwards recovered her reason. She
spent her time in cooling to an imaginary
babe, and nothing could divert her at
tention from it. She sank gradually:
without ever rallying, and died.
