Henry WattersOn's Address Before the
Indiana Editors.

The brilliant editor Of the Louisville
Courier journal, in his address before the
Indiana editors, said the campaign Of 1876
was fought out on principle, and Tilden,
be believed, was elected. He said: Look
ing back over this period, have but one
regret. | do regret that when, on the 4th
OF March, 1877, Hayes was sworn into an
Office to which be was not elected, the Dem
ocratic party did not en- mdSSe resolve that
II would Know nothing, see nothing. until
IL had figb!ed this great wrong, and re-.
stored The stolen sovereignty OF the people

guratlon OF its rightfully-eected candi-
daie'; and would have had Il put these up
every four years, II need be, to the end Of
the century, or as long as they might live,
until they should be seated in the places
from which, by fraud and violence, they
had been excluded"
AND HANCOCK.
Though there might be, be said. a hun
dred reasons advanced for Hancock's defeat
10 1880, there will remain but one to his
Tory ana the science of political warfare,
tnat Ills nomination was sentimental purely
that IL represented nothing tangible or
current; that 1t was the resort of Con-
sention which was seeking not strength,
put avoidance, and that from the first reli-
ahce was placed upon men rather than
measures.

tive and steady employment; and there has
been n great revival OF old and com
mepcement Of new business throughout All
the Southwest portion OF the State. What
MIR. Johnston says about bis immediate sec
tion is said about most all the other sections
OF Virginia by residents thereof who Visit
this city. And still the Mahoneites say the
State cannot afford TO pay per cent. inter-

Sioux Superstitions.
The Close Relation of Indian Traditiors
and Ceremonies to Ancient Rites.

tPonca, Neb., Correspondence Chicago Timesl
The Sioux entertain many fanciful ideas
concerning the future world and the condition
of those who inhabt it. They believe that for
some time after death the soul fingers about
the body, in consequence of which idea they
are unwilling to visit or approach q newly
erected scaffo,d on which has been deposited
one of their dead. This feeling of dread is en-
HANGED by belief in the vicious propensities
OF the lately freed spirit, which is inclined to
harm the presumptuous mortal who ventures
too near. A spirit blow is liable to produce
death, and is, believe, always followed by
direful consequences, rs delrium, paralysis, or
some permanent injury. The Sioux, following
the practice of many other tribes, place the
bodies OF the dead on a scaffold raised on poles
some eight or ten feet in height. The corpse
is wrapped in folds OF cloth or blankets
and buffalo robes The occupants of old scat
folds, which are often met with on the plains
resemble Egyptian mummies. Persons of dis
tinction, as noted warriors and chiefs, includ-
ing sometimes the families of the latter, re-
ceivc more honor in sepulchral rites, their re-
mains being frequently inclosed in boxes-a
dry goods or shoe box, obtained at the traders
store, answering the purpose. Sometimes in
the graveyards of our frontier posts may be
seen towering above the stone that marks the
white mans burial place, the scaffold on
which reposes the body of the Indian chief
The soul of the departed Sioux finally as
cends to the milky way, which, in their sys-
TEN, is highway leading through space to the
happy hunting grounds which lie somewhere in
the far distant regions beyond. To sus-
tain the spirit during this long journey food
and drink are required. The noted warrior
and chief should be ushered into these realms
in becoming state, to provide which one or
more horses must be sacrificed There is an
element of refinement in the savage idea at
tending the disposition of the supplies thus
furnished. 1t is not believed that the material
food is eaten nor the actual water drank, nor
the veritable horse ridden but in all material
resides soul, aud this resident spirit of the
food and drink is consumed by the spirit of the
deceased, and the spirit of the horse accom-
panes the spirit of his master to the Indian
paradise, where they are both received in the
spirit land. These provisions appear to be
needed orly during the journey from earth,
the probable superstition being that the blissful
regions to which they ara destined will be am
ply supplied with everything that can contrib
ute to the happiness of its inhabitants.

THE CROPS.


Prospect of a Good Yield Of Wheat
Fruit Badly Damaged in the West.
CHICAGO, April 16-From seven columns OF
telegraphic reports from the great cereal grow
ing States of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Kansas and
kentucky, which represent all parts of the
Western winter wheat region, the Times draws
the following conclusion.
while an immense amount of damage was
done the crop by the severity of the past sea-
son there is not the slightest danger of a gen.
eral failure of the harvest ON that account, and
while information is that the crop is in back
ward condition the reports do not intimate
total failure anywhere: The fact of the large
harvests and high prices of the past two or
three years has encouraged the planting of
such largely increased acreage in most local.
ties as to offset to a great extent the injury
suffered. In great many sections the heavy
SHOWS of winter furnished an invaluable pro-
lection against the intense cold and lateness of
the spring, and has continued a defence
through the critical period of the alternate
thaws and frosts of March. On the whole, it
appears that unless disastrous late frosts or
other unfayorable conditions materially i'm
pair the present prospects the yield is likely to
be not much less than that of last year. The
farmers of Illinois and Indiana seem to have
suffered more severely in some sections than
those of other States.
Extended reports from the Western fruit
sections show that in portion of Illinois
peach orchards are so badly damaged that
little or no fruit can be expected while in
other parts of the State the yield will be only
fair. The Michigan peach beet" has suffered
severely, in some instances a total ruin of buds
The same is true of Ohio, and as far south as
Alabama and Texas the peach trees have suf-
fered from winter Reports from bee keepers
show that the honey crop will be disastrousy
affected by the exceptionally long and cold

Ex-President Hayes Declares Himself
Teototaler.

MINNEAPOLIS, April 1.-THE Minneapolis
Tribune publishes an extract from private
letter to its editor from ex-President Hayes, in
the course of which he makes the following
reference certain published statements to which
his attention had been called, impugning the
consistency of his temperance principles and
practices. Mr.. Hayes says:
"When became President I was fully con-
WINGED that whatever might be the case in
other countries and with other people, in our
climate aud with the exciteable, nervous tenn
permanent of our people the habitual use of in
toxicaing drinks was not safe. regarded the
danger of the habit as especially great in po-
litical and official life. It seemed to me that
to exclude liquors from the White House
would be wise and useful as an example, and
would be approved by good psople generally.
The suggestion was particularly agreeable to
Mrs. Hayes. She had been total abstinence
woman from childhood. We had never used
liquors in our oTn home, and it was determined
to continue our home custom in this respect in
our official residence in Washington as We had
done at Columbus was not a total abstainer
when 1 became President, but the discussion
which arose over the change at the Executive
Mansion soon satisfied me that there was no
half way course in the matter. During the
greater part of my term, at least during the
last three years, have been in practice as in
theory persistent advocate of total abstinence
and shall continue to be SO. All statements to
the contrary are untrue and without founda-
tion."
