charge of vagrancy. They have all been
seen lettering around by the officers for

able to get sufficient evidence against them

than vagrancy.

mander Of tho division Of the Missouri, is
here on bis return from his Western tour.
Regarding the causes and nature Of the re-
iigious craze existing among the Indian
trlkes. he says:
II have been in Utah, Montana and the Chey-
enne reservation investigating thus craze You
no doubt have heard that the Indian tribes are
reported to believe that the Messiah Is to como
VINO win restore them 70 their former glory,

exists among various tribes, including the
Sioux. Cheyennes, Blackieet, Shoshones and
others, In al the craze extending to sixteen
tribes the snake Indians being the only tribes
70 repudiate It. There il no doubt that many
Indians holding this belief in the Indian Mes
siah are tincere, and Z few have certainly seen
some person whom they take to be that Mes
siah. Several small parties of Indiana have
gone westward from their tribes to some point
which. g near q can locate. il in Nevada.
There they have been shown somebody dis
guised q the Messiah. and have spoken with
him. am inclined to believe that there il
more than one person impersoneting the Mes
giah, - when the Sioux have spoken with him
he replied In the sioux language, and to the
Blackfeet be spoke their tongue, and so on with
the Representatives OF each nation or tribe,
speaking their own language to each.''

THE GREAT DISCOVERY.

The increased light which has been
thrown upon the discovery Of the now re-
nowned DR.. Koch, Of Berlin, would appear
TO confirm the correctness Of his original
statement as TO the effectiveness Of his
remedy for consumption. This has been
expected on account of the high reputation
which DR.. Koch has long enjoyed, which
has carried him to a leading position in one
of the greatest OF European universities,
where charlatanry or unjustifable conclr-
sions from scientific investigation would he
received with little favor or patience.
The Germans are famous for their
thoroughness and their reliability in the
line of scientific work, and the most search
ing examination Of the new process would
90 to shsw that this reputation is certainly
deserved in this instance. To take his
stand alongside Of Jenner and Harvey Is
sufficient glory for any one man, for ii is a
glory which will last as long as mankind
shall suffer from those physical ills to
which human nature is heir.
such glory will continue undimmed when
the fame of conquerors and statesmen has
faded into oblivion.

he tells us Of the polarity of the needle. The
Chinese used the magnet centuries ago, ana
it was probably known to the Europeans as

appropriate act, not only on account Of the
eminent civil aud military services of the

advanced.
Who among the competitors OF Gordon
could have commanded in the United States
Senat> the degree Of innuens from the
mere prestige OF a great name which be
will exercise In that body as soon as he
takes his seat : The new Senator, always
distinguished for his nervous energy and

will reflect distinction upon the State
which he represents, which no other son In
her borders could confer. In choosing him,
therefore, the people OF Georgia have done
