The civiI war IN Chill, which began In Jan

with infrequent and not important armed coll
lisions. until Aug "a when the congressional
forces landed near Valparaiso and. after a
bloody engagement, captured that city. Presi-
dent Bslmaceda NJ once recognized that his
cause was lost, and provisional government
was speedily established By the victorious
party. Our minister was promptly directed to
recognize and put himself IN communication
with this government as soon a. IL should have

In the territory of Oklahoma 10000
acres of land was opened last September,
all of which was taken up by settlers in a
single day. The rush for these lands was
accompanied by n great deal Of excite
ment, but was, happily, free from in
cidents OF violence. II was a source of
great regret that the surplus lands Of the
Cheyenne and Araphoe reservation was
not opened at the same time, amounting
TO about 800, 600 acres, by reason of the in
sufficiency of the appropriation for max
ing the allotments. Deserving and inn
patient settlers are waiting TO occupy
these lands, and he urgently recommends
that n special deficiency appropriation be
promptly made of the small amount
needed so that the allotments may be com
pleted and the surplus lands opened in
time TO permit the settlers TO get upon
their homesteads in the early spring.
During the past summer the Cherokee
commission have completed arrangements
with the Wichita, kickapoo and Tonqana
tribes, whereby, II the agreements are
ratified by congress, over SEQ, 900 additional
acres will be opened to settlement in Okla

Presidential Electors.
A brief history of the methods adopted
by the various states for the appointments
of electors of president and vice president
was then referred to by the president, in
which he stated that renewed interest
was attached to the custom by the depar-
ture by the state Of Michigan from tho
method which has become uniform In all
the states. Prior TO this various methods
had been used by the different states, and
even by the same state. In some the
choice was made by the legislature, in
others directors were chosen by districts,
but more generally by the voters OF the
whole state upon a general ticket.

The notion that the United States is
country principally inhabited by people
of Indian race still clings to Il great
many Europeans, and even some of
those who are educated. The most
singular misapprchensions concerning
the Indians and the part OF the country
they occupy are continually appearing
in the newspapers in Europe. y French
periodical called Science Pour Tous
(Science for AID, which declares its
aim to be enlightenment of the public,
recently published the following alb
surd article:
We have received some interesting
information concerning the incidents
which preceded the recent rising in
arms of the Indians in the west, and
one of the first engagements.
The Seated Bull. their chieftain.

fact that the Indians had not received
their annuities and certain promised
munitions. betooll himself to the capitol
at Washington.
There he laid before the president
of the Legislative body his complaints,
of the governmental agents, who he de-
clared had stolen what was the Indians
due.
He was informed that his declara-
tions would be taken under eorsidera-
ton, and Ec departed. But the promise
having remained without perforua..nce,
the Seated Bull once more came 10 the
capitol.
This time, in the midst of the assem-
blage, the Seated Bun did not uttcr a
word, but drew his tomahawl and dealt
with il terrible blow upon the marble
table which was before him. The table
was broken in two. and the chiefs
tomahawk buried itself in the floor be-
meath.
1t was the token of the chief declar-
alton OF war.

tol without anyone daring 10 lay 4 hand

WHY SNOW is WHITE,
All the Elementary CoIors Arc Blended
Together i'm the Crystals

All the Elementary CoIors Arc Blended
Together in the Crystals
The pure white Iuster of snow is due
to the fact that all the elementary
colors of light are blended together in
the radiance that is thrown off from
the surface of the crystals. 1t is quite
possible TO examine the individual snow
crystals in such a way as to detect
these several colors before they are
mingled together to constitute the COM
pound impression of whiteness upon
the eye. The snow is then clothed
with all the varied hues of the rainbow.
The soft whiteness of the snow is also
in some degree referable to the large
quantity of air which is entangled
amid the frozen particles.
Snow is composed of great number
of minute crystals, explains London
Tit-Bits. More than n thousand dis
tinct forms of snow crystals have been
enumerated by various observers. One
hundred and ffty-one We're noticed
during eight days in February and
March, 1855, by Mr.. Glashier, which
were carefully drawn, engraved and
printed in paper attached to the re-
port of the British Meteorological So
cicty for that year.
These minute crystals and prisms re-
fleet all the compound rays of which
white light consists. Sheets of snow
on the ground are known to reflect
beautiful pink and blue tints under GER
tain angles of sunshine, and to fling
back so much light as to be painful to
the eyes by day, and to guide the trav-
eler, in the absence of moonshine, by

Nv first acquaintance with the narra-

writer in Chambers Journal. About
the time of the occurrence heard II re-
lated by my father; and his authority
was the well-lnown Gen. Avitable,
Runieet Singh's right-hand man, who
was present at the facts. Those facts
are that certain ''joghee," (iindu an
chorite), said to possess the power of
suspending at viii and resuIning the
animation of his body, was sent for by
Runjeet Singh, and declining To obey
was brought by force into the tyrant's
presence and ordered 10 give under pain
of death a practical proof of his sup

He was put by his disciples through GER
tain processes. during which hc became
perfectly unconscious: the pulse ceased
hls breath did not stain polished mir
ror, and a European doctor who was
present declared that the heart had
ceased to beat. To all appearances he
was as dead as Queen Anne.
In this state he was put in carefully
made box, the lid closed and sealed with
Runjeet Singh'S own signet ring. The
box was buried in a vault prepared in
an open plot OF ground under the royal
window at Lahore, and the place was
guarded day and night by Runjeets
own guards under Gen. Avitable's own
supervision. sun and rain came and
grass sprung up, grew and withered on
the surface over the grave, and the SEN
tries went their rounds, and the joghee's
disciples and friends were all kept un-
der careful surveillance. not To call 1t
imprisonment. After forty days, in
Runjeet Singh's own presence, the yault
was uncovered and the box extracted
from il with its seals intact. 1t was
opened and showed the joghee within
precisely as he had been placed. He
was taken out, dead still to all appear

ciples were now brought to manipulate

taught them and which he had pub

Runjeet Singh cared little for human
life, which was his TOY OF plaything. No
one who knows his historical character
will for a moment admit that he would
let himself be deceived or played upon
in the matter on which he had set his
heart. Each scene-the suspension of
life, the burial, the disintcrncnt. the
