The Ghost Dance.


The Indians are ghost dancing again. This
time il is the Osages and Pawnees on the
reservations in Indian Territory. The Osages
have been very insOlent for q year past, and
when a few months ago their agent, il is said
TO further his private interests, advised them
not to treat with the Government Commission
ers for the sale Of their land, they az once be-
came imbued with the idea Of running things
to suit themselves. White people travelling
through the reservation have been surrounded
by Indians, who detained them for hours
dancing around them, and going through oil
the forms Of taking scalp5.
Other ofienses have been committed, and the
neighborhOod is unsafe for the white man.
The Indians claim that the Messiah is coming
TO lead them in grand campaign against the
white man.
Across the river from the Usage Reservation
the Pawnees are having q dance, and few
days ago a large party of Osages captured some
struggling Pawnces, tied them up to a tree and
held mock scalp dance about them all day.
The Pawnees are very much iucensed over
this, and threaten to retaliate. Should any
number Of these two tribes come in contact
while they are excited from dancing, an open
and bloody war will surely follow.

The New KhedlYs.

The late Khedive Of Egypt left four children,
two boys and two girls His eldest son. Abbas
Bey, was born in 1874. He has taken his seat
on the throne by recognition Of the Sultan.
Abbas Boy was educated by A. T. Butler,
who acted for several years as his tutor and
who had been for long time in the service Of
the late Khedivs. 1t is this circumstance
which has given rise to the too general belief
that the young Prince having been at first I'M
der British tuition, would prove TO be an An
glophile TO q still greater extent than was his
father, Tewfk. But il Is difficult to decide
that question, for Abbas Bey has not yet had
an opportunity to show his sentiments and bis
opinion about the political affairs Of his
country.
