Alleged indian war.

The prospect for an Indian war seems poor.
notwithstanding telegrsphic information OF
battle on Thursday. The sensational re-
ports of special correspondents on the spot
must be taken with the full lawful grain Of
salt-perhaps more. The town Of Mandan,
" d, which appears TO be the centre OF
newspaper activity, while it is the nearest
telegrapbic point 10 the scene Of the excite
ment at the Standing Rock Agency, is really
many miles distant.
Authorstive reports from the plains to the
War Department state that sixteen different
tribes, widely separated and comprising q
large part of the aboriginal population, are
agitated by cunning reports that in the near
future there shall appear to them Messiah,
who will bury their white opponents deep
in the earth, bring back all the Indian dead
to occupy the room made vacant by the eX-
termination Of their enemies, restore in
enormous herds the buffaloes, the anteIopes
and the wild horses to their hunting grounds
and that the Indians will again be masters of
the country, as they were before the whites
came from over the sea TO dispossess them
Of il.
This present agitation among the Indians
is in large part the work OF willful mischief
makers. 1t is stated by impostors. or BY
selfexcited fanatics, who arise among the
Indians at times as they do among ourselves
and IN all civilized countries.
Beyond ell doubt. too, great deal OF
what We are hearing now are the fsbrications
coming from traders, land -grabbers and 9TH
eI spectators and peculators Of the kind
that abound on the frontier; aud it is ute
probable that If there were no such nen
within easy reach Of the reservations, camps
and settlements the agitation would soon
run its course and die out

Look after Your Boys.

Nightly are to be seen boys ranging in age
from TO Is. roaming about on the streets
seemingly .stherless and motherles,. A
street education is certainly not desirable,
and the vices that are lurking in the dark
corners are hideous to think Of The habit
of street loatng increases as the hoy advan
ces in years, and your boy, instead Of culti-
vsting the teachings of happy home circle
distilled into him night after night by
thoughtful parents, by word, precept and
example, is becoming allied to the world of
friyolity and sin and forming life in har-
mony with his worldly desires-neglecting
that spiritual culture that is to it him for
an eternal life. Parents, the old NAHUM il,
as you bend the twig SO grows the tree. :"
This is grast question and should engross
the attention Of every parent who has at
heart the good Of son. Make home q
more desirable place than the streets.

Seven cities contended for the honor Of
being the birthplace of Homer. About that
number Of men claim the honor Of originat-

these famous soldiers. At the reunion in
Wellsboro last week the matter was brought
up, We quote from the'4gitqtOr
Col. s. D. Freeman, ,ofSmethport. who was
the nrst surgeon Of the HucktaiIs, says that
several erroneous statements have been pub
lished regarding-the origin Of the use Of the
bucks tail as q symbol for the regiment
he says that after the enlistment Of the regi-
ment in 1861 Captain w. T. Blanchard, of
company ], and Colonel Kane were discuss-
ing the question on the streets in smeth-
port, Mexican county. A large deer was
hanging out in front OF q market opposite
the public square. Blanchard noticed il
and said. Why not take buck tail Kane
replied, That's just the the thing They
went over and cut the tail OF that deer aud
the hide was cut into small pieces and put
on the soldiers hats. The first man TO wear
the buck tail was James Lsndrsgan Of Kane.
