STRANGE INDIAN ETHICS.

The Sherman (TeXas) Courier has
the following A citizen of Sherman
was over at Tishimingo, in the Indian
Territory, last week and saw the con-
demned murderer, Willie Brown, 60
ing about the place without any re-
straint whatever. Brown was pointed
out to him as the full blood Indian
who was convicted for killing his
brother some time ago, and he was
told that it was q custom among the
Chickasaws to let such convicts out on
parole of honor until the day of exccu-
ton. 1t is tradition among the In
dians that no one under such circum-
stances has ever failed to appear at the
time and place appointed for the exc
cution, and in compliance with this
established custom of these people,
Brown came to meet his death like a
true Indian, on last Friday, and was
hung by the neck until he was dead.
Such abncgation at such n time, seems
so unlike the rules of self-preservation
practiced among the white race, that it
appears to us unnatural, and we raise
the question, how much white blood
must an Indian have in him before
! he has sense enough to skip the coun-
try rather than die like dog

TURING.
Clinton Patriot-Dcmocrat. \

AS will be seen by reference to an
article on the fourth page Of our pres
ent issne, George NJ. Wickliffe. the
indiviual who, the year previous to
tho Breckenridge campaign, came to
Clinton and practiced dentistry, and
who, just before the opening of the
campaign above mentioned, started, n
co-partncrship With the writer of this
article, (the editor Of this papcr,) tho
publication in this town, OF the Spirit
of the South, is out rs 4 lecturer. 1t
seems that Wickliffc-our Wickliflc-
Tor we have an unpaid claim against
him for several hundreds of dollars
has discarded the Bible as unworthy Of
belief. Wickliile, we suppose, having
been discarded by all honest men, feels
it incumbent upon himself to also dis
card something or somebody, aud why
not the Holy Bible: Tho Bible en-
phatically commands: "Thou shalt
not steal" This precept does not meet
the appreciation of the enterprising
DR.: Wickliile, who would purloin
anything save Il red hot stove. Tho
Doctor when member Of the firm of
Wickliffe ~ Lambert, rs proprietors of
the Spirit OF the South, made, what
perhaps he termed, 4 fair division -
he retained tho money-and his part
ner received the experience. After
this stragetic movement, and after tho
close of tho war, George-(we must
call him by this endearing name, for
we have an affection for m)--entercd
the Radical camp, became Auditor OF
State, pocketed thousands of dollars
belonging to the State Of Louisiana,
and quietly set out for parts unknown.
With this record before us, we are glad
that tho absconding Wickliite has dis
carded the Bible and is clamoring for
new religion. IL the eloquent lcc-
turer had his just dues he would to-day
be in the employ of the Statc-ho
would be wearing a striped suit and
shoveling dirt on tho Louisiana lcvccs.

STORI OF 4 STREET FILTRATION

The Omaha Herald says On June
6, 1876, Miss Annie l.. Manning, the
daughter of a Detroit merchant, while
returning from her music teacher, met
a young man on the street and began
Irritation. He approached her and
spoke, saying that his name was Will
liam Savage and that he resided in st.
Louis, where his family occupied a
prominent social position. Mr.. Savage
walked with Miss Manning to her
home and before leaving made an ap-
pointment to meet her the next day.
In the meantime he discovered that
the family was wealthy, and when the
young girl met him again he proposed
marriage, and said he would tako her
to st. Louis and introduce her to his
family. Miss Manning consented, and
they were married. The next day
her parents heard of 1t, and three days
after Mr.. Savage was Jailed on charge
of burglary, and the girl discovered
that her husband was one Of the most
notorious burglars in tho West. AZ
ter more than six years of misery Mrs.
Savage secured divorce.

JUTE CULTURE IN 1883.
IN. 0. Picayune.l

!
From the present outlook we judge
that quite a number of planters and
farmers in the Gulf States will plant
jute this season, if the seed can. be OBJ.
tanned to supply the demand. Mr..
Menelas, who seems to be the leading
spirit and back bone Of the jute enter
prise, is doing his best to obtain a sup
ply Of seed large enough to meet the
demand and in season for planting in
the spring. Mr.. NIenelas advises plan
ters not to plant broad surfaces in jute
this year, but to have an ample supply
for q complete test of the machine and
TO try the market, and also to supply
themselves with all the home made
seed they may possibly need in 1854.
There isno doubt that jute at five
cents will gradually take the place of
cotton at ten cents in the manufacture
Of many articles in which jute is in all
respects as good as cotton. 1t will
doubtless be mixed extensively with
more costly tibres, which will increase
the demand for .jute until it will become
an important staple crop like cotton,
and new uses will be found for it every
year. There is no way of estimating
the numerous uses to which American
ingenuity aud enterprise will apply
this invaluable fibre in the next ten or
twenty years, but the probability is
that in that time the demand for 1t will
require crops as large as cotton crops
now made.

CALCASiEU SULPHUR MINE.

The great Sulphur Mine of Calcasieu
is located about twelve miles west of
Lake Charles. In the immediate
vicinity there are several springs from
which pctolcum flows, and it was in
prospecting or boring for petroleum
that the sulphur was discovered, Mt a
depth of 4l3 feet from the surface.
The bed of sulphur is los feet thick,
and is 9G per cent pure crystaliZcd sui
phur throughout that distance.
We give here the report of tho En-
ginecr, showing the different stratas
through which the boring passed from
the surface to the bottom Of the arte-
sian well, 1890 feet

rB. .R. Capitolian-Adyocate.7 I

In his charge to the Grand Jury yes
terday, Judge Sherburnc called atten-
ton to a statute passed at the last ses-
sion Of the General Assembly, which
seems to have escaped public Observa-
ton. This is the act to make it a
criminal offence to manufacture or Of
fer for sale any drug or article of food =,
adulteratci / so as to make it delcteri-
Gus, or lower its value as a salable pro-
duct under its true description. The
statute was designed to put an end to
the fraudulent practices which have
been introduced into almost every
branch of trade, and has affected the
value Of almost all commodities. 1t is
notorious that many drugs and chemi-
Gals and many kinds of liquors are so
doctored by skillful manipulation that
they fail to serve their proper purpose,
and often endanger life ana health by
the intermixture of harmful iugre-
dients. Many articles Of food are sub
ject to the same kind of adulteration,
especially as to those kinds of supplies
that are used by the poor. Compcti-
ton has expended itself in the direc-
ton of the production of an inferior
article, masked under the form of the
superior, and the results have been ex-
tremcly prejudiciai, not only in pecu-
mary point of view, but to the health
Of the poorer classes.
1t is sagainst thee evils that the stat
ute is directed, and it seems To afford a
full and adequate remedy. Fines not
exceeding one hundred dollars arc de-
nOunccd against every single offence,
and the proper administration of the
law will involve many, who have in
cautiously subjected themselves to
these penalties. 1t is one of those
kinds of cases where reform will strike
hard against innocent parties, but as
the law is on the books, and as the
necessity of the law is generally admit
ted, it should be enforced in such q
way as TO attract the attention Of deal
ers. n good scare may be sufficient for
I this term of Court; but the punishment

GOLD IN AIASl< 4.

The gold fields of Alaska arc bcgin-
ming to attract tho attention of the
world aud cntorprising ..varicc will
soon invade that inhospitablc region
to pluck doubtful gain from certain
dangers. The existence of valuable
deposits in the northern part of the
great auriferous mountain system
which contains tho mines of tho Sier-
ras and furnishes tho placcrs Of British
Columbia has long been accepted as II
logical aud scientific conclusion and il
has recently been demonstrated by ac-
tual and extensive discoveries both in
tho moro southcrly district near Sitl1n
and along the upper course of the
Yukon river In the northern part of
tho territory Il thousand miles from tho
outmost limit of civilized habitation.
Neither tho inaccessible nature or the
country nor the certain prospect OF sul-
rcring and hardship will deter reckless
and daring spirits from tho desperate
attempt TO surmount all obstacles in
pursuit of wealth. Nor is such enter
prise utterly hopeless, rs navigation IS
possible during nearly four months OF
the year and the almost equally severe
climate of Liberia proves no ciIcctual
barrier to tho mining operations ear
ried on by forced labor under govern
mcnt supervision. There is no pros
poet under any circumstances Of such II
rush as that which converted the VAL
leys of California and the plains OF
Australia into busy centres of wealth
and population, but there is danger of
a considerable incursion OF lawlcss and
greedy advGnturcrs into territory be-
longing to tho United States but
wholly destitute of all the elements of
civilization. It's nominal possession by
this country, though productive Of
benefit only to few protected corp0-
rations, involves certain exercise OF
authority in case Of its occupation by
gold-scekcrs, which may render tho
tcrritoryan elephant in tho hands Of
the government. There can be no cor
responding benefit to tighten the
burden, as if the country could have
been held proHtably it would not have
been so easily acquircd--and Russia
with all tho facilities afforded by alb
solutc control and immense resources
was glad to rid herself of the expensive
charge.

A wall is TO be built around the city

Georgia has u law which gives the
voters of each civil district of counties
the right to determine by ballot wheth-

decide on the latter, all private fences
are abolished, and general fence
built around lhc entire district. The

In another letter. referring to the
lands claimed by the New Orleans
Pacific road, Mr.. Blanchard, writing to
l'orbis & Co., OF Many, says:
The railroad lands include every al
ternate or odd section in belt 20 miles
on either side of the line of the road.
The even sections were reserved to the
Government and are government lands
except WheIc heretofore taken up by
parties demonstrating upon it or pur-
chasing it from the government. The
government lands in the even sections
are for sale at 50 50 per acre. The
lands in the odd sections are claimed
by tho railroad, but no patents to it
have been issued by the government.
The outlook, however, is that the rail.
road, will eventually get these lands.
If they do, it Will be under conditions
that the rights Of the settlers will be
protected. In fact, should the Obliga-
ton Of the railroad Company to protect
the rights of settlers and to allow the
settlers to take their lands to the eX.
tent OF 100 acrcss each at So per acre,
one-third cash; balance in | and =
years. This is 80 cents an aero cheap
er than they can buy government lands
in the even sections.
However, under a recent decision of
the Secretary of the Interior relating
to some other land grant, the settlers
may be able to get their lands even
less per acre, but the matter is not yet
fully determined and until it is, ! can
! not answer satisfactorily the Questions
you put to me in regard to rights of
settlers. One thing is sure, however,
that the settlers and occupicrs of the
railroad lands will not have topay more
than 50 an acre.
Tell the settlers to hold their lands,
make no terms and enter into no agree
ments with any one pretending to re-
present the railroad.
