An Indian Cemetery.

An old resident of Montana the other
night was speaking of the noble red
man and his peculiarities. THE queer
est" said he, lis the custom the Cana
dian Indians have of burying their
dead. A few miles from the town of
Chinook there's an immense graveyard
of at least one thousand dead, l should
cay. The bodies are laid in boxes on
top of the ground and the so-called cof-
fins are in all manner of shapes 1
could not understand the reason, but
soon learned. 1t seems that in what
ever position the body is when life
passes out of il, the Indians win not
change IL. For instance, If one dies
with his arms outstretched they will
not pull the arms in and lay them across
the body as we do. They win build the
box In shape to fit the position of the
body. In some cases the corpse had the
legs drawn up; in other cases the In
dian died lying on his side with his
knees near his head; in others one arm
was outstretched or one leg pulled up.
No matter what the position, the box
is built TO conform to it without dis
turbing the attitude of the body. As a
result the graveyard is one collection Of
coffins in all shapes and sizes. Mime

An Unexpected Admission.

Under this heading the Spirit Of tie Val
ley returns once more TO the subject or the
right Of secession. and no doubt thinks
that it has made good point as against
the DISPATCH. The Spirits point Is based
upon the following paragraph from re-
cent issue Of the DISPATCH. We quote our
words:
"That the allegiance OF the citizsn was first
due to his State was the doctrine Of the sires Of
the Revolution. Nothing else made secession
possible except the prevalence OF this doctrine
throughout the southern SIates.'
We now quote tho Spirits comment:
''This 10 an admission that the people Of the
States which attempted secession aid not have
such grievances - TO justify thsm in rssorting
to rebellion a. did our forefathers under WASH
instoL. In other words, lighting for slavery and
lighting for liberty are different things"
On the contrary, 1t 10 more statement
Of fact. 1t was intended Is q vindication
OF tho courss OF the statssmsn Of the
South in leading their people into tho war

The Negro in Mexico.

The Mericdn FIndncier. published in the
City of Mexico. warmly advocates the
colonization of negroes from the United
States in Sonora.
I'VE are we'll aware that there is preju-
dice existing here against the negro" it
says, but the sentiment Of antipathy is
not as deep and bitter as it isin the United
States"
The Findncier goes on to state what
great progress" the blacks Of this country
have made since emancipation and to argue
that they would prove to be very dssl-
rable accession to the population OF
Mexico.
Why, it says, "a bank in Richmond, Va,
with $500, 900 capital, is owned and con-
Quoted by black men. and they are loan
ing money to their former mastersl"
To state the case mildly, this is gross
exaggeration. There is savings bank
hero conducted by colored men, and from
all accounts that we receive it is doing
very well. but its capital is $4,000 in
stead of half million, and its transac-
tons, excepting its transactions with other
banks here, are almost exclusively with
persons of color. As our city banks have
capital and resources which aggregate
moro than S13,OO0O0O 1t will be seen at
once how few Of their former masters"
are borrowers of the colored peoples
bank
The Fmdncier charges that southerners
have perpetrated many outrages upon the
blacks, but the blacks in question know
better than that, and very few of them
will ever consent to leave us to make their
homes in Mexico. Nor was the slave-trade.
which it recalls to denounce, altogether
without redeeming features. Ii put the
African into contact with civilization. Ii
took him up on the coast of Africa, naked
savage and a slave to cannibal masters, and
set him down upon our shores to become
after few centuries a citizen and dude.
Here he is tar better of than he would
have been at home. II any man doubts
this, let him read SILNLEY's book and learn
what were the condition and customs Of
the negro in his African homo in the year
1890. Whoever reads that book must feel
that the Dutch, English, and Yankee
money-making captains who bought car
goes Of slaves in Africa and brought them
to Virginia and the Carolinas did them q
good service. Now the southern negro
would sooner think of selling himself into
slavery in America than of going back to
his ancestral home in Africa. Neither Africa
nor Mexico ha. any charms tor hun. He
would rather stay here. aad he will stay
here, and the whites can manage to get
along with him very well indeed.
