 Brave Deeds Were Recorded.
 The formerly satiflee treaty of pcaca was brought to Londcn by William Stuart, first attache to thu British cir- bassy at Paris, on April ss, 1856, Snn~ day May {, was observed as a duy of general thanksgiving to almighty God for the preservation of peace; and on Monday the 9th it was forInally pro claimed in London, with the usual solemnities. Addresses to the crown, approving of the peace. were carried in both houses of parliament on the evening of that day; and on the sth both houses cordially voted thanks to the army, navy and raarines employed in the operations of the late war. The feelings entertained toward the men who fought and bled in the Crimea by the queen, the government and the people of England are also placed on record in an excellent dispatch of Lord Panmure's, which will be perpctuatod as long as the language exists.
 Since the period, said the noble secretary of war, when the army first NuittSn tue SubISS pA Nlilb tdhNs NAittN has eeen no vicissitude of war which it has not been called upon to encounter. IL was assailed by cholera shortly after it's arrival in Turkey. Then was proved that moral as well as physical courage pervoded it's ranks.

It carried on, under difficulties almost incredible, siege of unprecedented duration, in the course of which the trying duties of the trenches, priva- lions from straitened supplies, and the fearful diminution of its numbers from disease neither shook its courage nor impaifed it discipline. Notwithstand- ing that many gallant comrade fell in their ranks, and they were called to mourn the gallant commander who led them from England, and who closed in the field his noble career as soldier, her majesty's troops never flmched from thoir dut,es, nor disappointed the sanguine hopes of their country.

 nent of Europe, where he studied as siduously, the Chicago friends of the promising Japanese lost sight of him til 1soI when he returned to the Worlds Fair City with q commission from his government directing him to report on the prospects of the Column bian exposition. 1t was largely due to his efforts, supplemented by those of Gustavus Goward, that so brilliant a presentation was made by Japan at the exposition, Soon after his returning to his country it was learned that Ken taro Kanelto had been selected for the distinguished post of secretary of the house of peers, the senate of Japan. Subsequently, he became assistant min ister of agriculture and commerce, and now the gratifying intelligence reaches MT. Kaneko's friends in this country that he has been appointed minister to Washington. This is an especially fit- ting selection on account of MT Kane kos education in this country and his familiarity with American institutions, The honor of this appointment ;s marked for Mir Kanelzo, because this is his first diplomatic commission, an unusual distinction, emphasized by the fact that his predecessor was 6 man of illustrious family and of eminence in public service. Mr Kaneko will be persona gratissima in Washington.

One day an old squaw came trudging into the agency with basket on her arm The Indian agent informed me that she had walked a distance of ninc- ty miles to see her thirteen-year-old daughter, who was pupil in the IR- dian school and that she made that pilgrimage regularly once a month and never remained over an hour. Un- observed watched the meeting be- tween mother and daughter. There was none of the ordinary exhibitions of parental or childish affection. When the child came out to meet the mother the latter carefully scrutinized her and then led her away about fifty
 ards where the two sat down in the all grass.
 Hardly q word was spoken The 1other emptied the contents of her aslset, which were Q lot of provisions 0d trinkets into tbe childs lap, Hnd she latter accepted them without any marked evidences of gratl ude. as far as could observe. After they had spent half-honr together in this way the aged mother slowly rose, replaced her basket on her arm and walked slowly away until she disappeared from view far out on the plains. When she left the daughter no good-byes were spoken, nor were there any evidences of regret at the parting on the face of either parent or child.
 Our party paid visit to Sitting Bull. who was then reported to be in a bad frame of mind toward the govern meut We found him sulking in his tent, and learned that one cause of his ill-temper was firm conviction in his savage breast that the government had killed his son. The boy had been n robust, well-developed young man of about eighteen ard went away to school When he came back he was in the last stages of consumption and died shortly afterward When the gruff old chief was questioned about the ource of his troubles, he replied; They took away my boy. They poi sonsl him. They wanted to kill him No amount of persuasion could swerve him from the idea that the educational system which the whites held out as boon to Che Indians was but scheme to lure them to destruction"
