Ghost Dancing in California.

CHICO, Cal, Dec. 16.-The Indians of the
rancheries near Chico have commenced
the Messiah, or ghost dance. Remnants of
all the tribes remaining in Butte county,
numbering some 800 Indians, are partici-
pating. The dance is held each year about
January, but it was fastened this year by
strange Indians who came in from Nevada
and told the tribes here that their brethren
in the east were dancing, and that the Mes
siah would surely come and that the In
dians would rule California again. The In
dians are civilized, attend school and have
a chapel for services and find employment
in town and ON ranches. They have an
Imported Indian, WHO acts rs Messiah or

Book Notices.

The CONFEDERATE VETERAN for April comes
to us this month freighted with much that is
choice in the way of Southern literature and
q great deal that is more than ordinarily en-
tertaining in song aud story. We are glad to
notice also that the Veteran has been consider
ably improved geographically, and is printed
on paper OF heavier quality and finer finish
being now in full accord with the style and
general makeup of magazine prints. The new
serial by Mrs. Darling, The Senator's Daugh-
ter" an authoress well known in the novel
reading word, opens satisfactorily with its
leading characters. and Will of itself cause this
deserving monthly to be eagerly looked for as
the captivating story progresses. Chapter II
of ''The Sin and the Sinners, by T.. e. Cum
ming, of Texas, is the more caustic as it grows,
and is being made particularly interesting for
Mr.. James Freeman Clarke, in whose Anti
Slavery Days the author finds the origin for
his peculiar title. ''Ihe Adventures of Cap
tain John Smith" is something entirely new re-
garding that favorite old acquaintance, and
will be read by the aged and the juvenile with
| an eagerness to which it is fully entitled. The
remainer of the contents are arranged and ed
tied with marked care, and the April number
will undoubtedly go far toward bounding the
| Veteran into still greaternOtoriety. Published
at Atlanta, Ca, at $500 per annum.
Peterson for May is as fresh and bright as
spring itself. The steel engraving Trying
Old Tunes is beautiful picture both in de-
sign and execution. The double fashion-plate
gives specimens of the newest and most artis-
tic styles for costumes, and the novel needle
work patterns will charm the ladies. "Girl
| life in China" is very interesting sketch. and
is capitalIy illustrated. Ella Higginson begins
q novelet "a Love and Passion" the opening
chapters of which are written with great spirit
and force. The short tales and poems are
among the best in the whole list of the menth's
periodicals, and Miss Elizabeth Seovirs paper
on ..Poisons and their AntidOtes," ought to be
posted up in every nursery.

Meat Axe, the big Shoshone medi-
cine man, has predicted flood, to
occur in July and wipe out the heart
less pale faces. He says the vista
tion is retribution for the unjust con-
duct of the whites in confining 1000
Indians on little reservation of o.
600, 900 acres, circumscribing them
so they don't get shot more than
once year. Runners have been
sent all over the reservation and to
the Crows, Cheyennes and Sioux to
herald the calamity, and a rush of
Indians to the Wind River Noun
tains, the scheduled haven, is antici-
pated. Meat Axe exhibited consid-
cradle ingenuity in arranging for the
general sousing. He has it that all
the whites and half-breeds will be
drowned and that the game will ap-
p9rently die to make the play strong,
but as the waters recede the beasts
win revive to become the prey of the
braves.
