THE INDIAN AND TECUMSEH.
The Lecture Of John A. Finch Before the
Young Folks at Plymouth Church.

The third lecture of the course was given yes
terday afternoon by Mr.. John A. Finch. subject,
'sThe Indian and Tecumseh." For am hour he
people in rapt attention. He began by saying
that in studying the Indian there were three
views to be taken of him--the Indians view of
himself, the white mans view of him, and Gods
view of the Indian as His own creation. The
second is the only view possible to US. He pict-
ured.. the Indians as they were when first known
to the white man, and said, in giving the
origin of the name Indian, that their own
reply, upon being asked who they were
was always that. eve are men" The subject
Indians was difficult one, on account of the
numbers of and the great differences between
their tribes.
By means of various anecdotes, Mr.. Finch
gave an interesting estimate of the Indian char
acter. He read the estimate of the Indian by
Judge Story. 1t is fact worthy of attention
that, according to the latest statistics, the num-
Der of Indians in the United States at present
greatly exceeds that of the time when their re-
moval was first attempted.
Mr.. Finch also showed that in the various
wars In which the Indians were engaged they
always took the losing side, as, in the French
and Indian war they were with the French
against the English, and lost. In the Revolu-
tlonary war they were the allies or the Engllsn
against the Colonists, and lost. In the war of
1872 they were again the allies of the English
against the United States, and again defeated.
Tecumseh he called the greatest Indian, and,
for his opportunity, one of the greatest men that
ever lived. He showed that Tecumseh had
reached the political idea of confederation, and
gave an account of his attempt to unite the
tribes in the West and the Southwest, and of
his failure to do so. He compared Tecumseh to
St Paul Both spoke forth from their souls, as
men, the word that within them. He closed
by reading Tecumseh's famous speech, than
which there are few better.
The next lecture will be given by Miss Marga-
ret Merker, of Louisville, on Friday evening
next at 4:I5. Subject, Daniel Boone, the
Founder of Kentucky"

The City AttOrneyship.

The bitterness of the fight over the city attor-
neyship prompts city officer to suggest that
there should be some mediation by conference
of representative citizens in the interest Of har
mony and good government, as there seems to
be some doubt as to whether Or moi the matter
can be amicably settled in any
other way. Alderman Prtchard is un-
comprising in his opposition to Mr.
Spahr's candidacy, and Mr.. Spahr declares, it is
reported, that if he is not elected no Republican
shall be. In consequence. the Democrats CON
fdently expect to be able to elect AL Beck, and
statesman Sim Coy has boosted that he has
everything arranged for this result.
