CHICAGO Times; Corkling aud Platt
seem to be persuading themselves that
when they resigned they really meant it.
And this, on the whole, is the best view to
take of the situation. Then, if they miss,
it's calf; if they hit, it's deer.

SOME time ago the cable brought us the
news that the order of the Russian Govern
ment for the erection of Notifications along
tie German frontier had been countermand-
ed by the Gar. According to the Montags-
blatt the Russian Government has now con-
cluded to purchase the lands belonging to
Count Tyschkewitsch situated near the city
OF kowno. for the purpose of constructing
thereon extensive Notifications. The lands
lie on the right bank of the River Niemen.
and it is the intention to build the forts con-
stituting the line of defense along that bank
down to the confluence Of that river with
the Villa. At this point all the armies com
ing from the West for the purpose of invad-
iAg Russia have always made their crossings
Whether or not the former intention to for.
tify the City OF Kowno has been abandoned
remains to be seen.

The Legend of LOVelrs Pond

Mr.. BaXter's paper on the Piggwacket
fight, read before the Maine Historical
Society yesterday, is valuable contribu-
ton TO the early history of the State, bring
ing TO light as it does facts of importance
concerning that adventure of our fathers
with the red men, and correcting some of
the legendary accounts of the conflict near
LOvelPs Pond The honor of the crowning
exploit of the piratical expedition does not,
it seems, belong to john Lovewell. Love
well was a mighty hunter of Indians, and
passed his leisure time in searching for
their scalps,-as hunters on our little
streams and ponds to-day gain amusement
and profit by shooting or snaring the mink
and the muskrat. They, however, frankly
and truly declare themselves in the service
of Mammon. He pretended to be an agent
of Jehovah.
The conclusions reached by Mr.. Baxter
will not be disputed. They are based on
sound premises and the; best authorities to
be found, and are reinforced by careful
typographical study Of the locality where
the fight was made. The old legend of
Paugus must be given up, and though some
may think it detraction from Lovewelrs
merit that he killed one less Indian than
people supposed, that stout hunter proba-
bly, found the omission placed to his credit
when he reached the happy hunting
grounds.
Mr.. Baxter believes that the bigotry and
savagery displayed toward the Indians by
the Colonists are impossible in our day. In
the East. yes. Beyond certain lines of
longitude, no. There are still parts of this
country where Indians are regarded as ver-
min; where their murderers are looked
upon as heroes; where rewards for scalps
would be considered as harmless and far
more for the public good than rewards for
slain bears in Maine, and where pious chap
lain like Fries, who went forth to slaughter
with the Bible in one hand and the sword
of the Lord and of Gideon in the other,
would be venerated by his flock. If no reg
ular denomination acknowledged him he
could easily build up an ''independent
church" in the Western wilds and gather
the wolves. if not the sheep, into his fold.
Much certainly has been done here to soften
our feelings toward the Indians, whom we
treat as well as we treat our own. Much
remains to do in the west, where they
are looked upon as wild beasts, whose pur-
suit is sport, and whose slaughter is duty.
