THE INDIANS RELIGION.

adalevolont Spirits Concern tho Children
of tho Forest.
The Indians religion is a curious
study, and the more curious because
his ideas concerning the theory and
practice Of medicine are so interviewer
with his religion that it is hard to
say where the one ends and the other
begins. He seems to believe that every
thing has a spirit-that all animals
and even trees and stones, have within
them spirits. When he Stays dam
gerous animal, therefore, he offers to-
bacco or apologies to it and explains
the necessity his family was under for
food; or else he lays the blame of its
destruction upon somebody else. When
he catches the first salmon of the
spring run he propitiates it by offer
tngs and ceremonials, SO as to appease
the displeasure of its kind and to in
sure that the run will not fall the
next season. He also takes care that
the bones of slain beaver and deer
shall not be gnawed by the dogs and
the spirits of the slain enraged as q
consequence. The most of his religi-
GUS efforts are directed to the propitia-
ton OF these innumerable spirits, on
the one hand, that they may be won
over to help him. He hopes they will
make him successful warrior and
hunter, give him rain when he wants
him when sick. Good spirits, however,
the Indian cares very little for; it IL
the bad, malevolent spirits that con-
Germ him most Hence the Indian
"shaman," or medicine man, is also
his priest. SO far as he has any For
it is the shaman that pretends an
ability to control bad spirits and coax
them out OF person when they have
entered and taken possession. That
the Indian believes in some sort OF
future existence is true, but that this
belief has crystalized into the form OF
Happy Hunting Ground of which
we have heard SO much, Is much to be
doubted. To the Indian mind the flu
ture Is vague and uncertain. He seems
to be much more concerned in pro-
pitiating the spirits of the friends
that have gone before, of which he is
much afraid, than Of preparing him
self for future state of any sort. The
idea OF eternal punishment he never
dreams Of
The idea Of Great Spirit or SUI
preme Deity, who watches over the
destinies OF mankind, was brought
to the Indian by his white brother, and
is conception to which the Indian
had not reached.-Philadel Times.

OLD SOLDIERS DISSATISFIED.
Sad Blunders Said to Fave Been Made in Pen
sion Roll For Burke.

To the Editor: There is wide spread
dissatisfaction among the old Corfeder-
ates and much criticism at large in this
county on account of the recent pension
rolls sent out from Raleigh. If all re-
ports are true there have been sad
plumbers in many instances. 1t is said
a good number of old Confederates who
have drawn pensions for years, and who
are accustomed to depend upon and
sorely in need of it, have been dropped
from the pension roll and in their places
substituted men, in several cases, worth
over $500. 1t is reported that one old
soldier on the list is worth at least
81 600 and sufficiently strong and able
bodied to earn a good living, while anoth-
err a notorious character, who deserted
during the war. draws as second class.
On the other hand in several instances.
come to light, where the direct poverty
and absolute want prevail, the pension
has been either cut off or refused. Sew
eral old soldiers, whom your correspond
ent heard mention the matter, showed
the keenest disappointment, more be-
cause they considered the action of the
Board of Pensions a reflection on them
and their record in the army than for any
other cause. 1t is hard to say who is to
blame. 1t is said the counties sent up
too many for pensions without discrmi-
mating, and the State Board rejected
them without knowing who they were
casting aside, dealing with it as a mat
ter Of guess work. 1t is to be hoped
there is some remedy for the mistakes
made and that justice will be done.
The political pot has not yet begun
TO boil here, though warm enough to see
which way the wind blows, and discover
the sentiments of the people toward the
different candidates. Congressionally
Burke may present the name of candi-
date when the time comes. 1t will take
a longwinded and long-legged man to
canvass district which extends from
Mitchell to Mecklenburg, and we will
have no trouble in producing several of
that kind.
Judicially Judge Justice has everything
his way. Not only in this county. but
in every other county in the district his
nomination is taken as a matter of
course. So far Mr.. Spainhour has no OPP
ponent for solicitor, and will doubtless
triumph over all opposition. This Sena-
torial district is said to be safely Dem
ocratic. Burke is entitled to a candidate
and will assert her rights at the conven-
ton. A. G.. AVERY. JR.

the worse for liquor and as they drove
out of the Banner warehouse he turned
the air blue with cuss words The police
man ordered him to desist, and finding his
command disregarded started toward the
wagon. A blow from the butt end of a
wagon whip sent him to grass and the
wagon started up Chapel Hill street on
the run.
The officer secured laundry wagon
and headed the party off near the Gene
terry In the battle that followed the old
man knocked the policeman down with a
pole, ard after trying to drive over him
the trio finally made their escape. AS
they were going, however. Clarke fired
on them slightly wounding enc OF the
young men under the arm.
